Astronomer hires Gwyneth Paltrow with a wink after 'kiss cam' viral video
Astronomer has hired Gwyneth Paltrow as a "temporary spokesperson" following the social media firestorm that involved two now-former company executives and a Coldplay concert 'kiss cam" last week. Paltrow appeared in a television-style spot on Astronomer's social media on Friday making a pitch for the company's everyday strengths. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones," said Paltrow, who split with Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2014. Astronomer made headlines after internet sleuths identified its CEO and chief people officer as the man and woman seen embracing and then hiding their faces on a "kiss cam" at the July 16 concert. Both have since resigned. In the Astronomer video, Paltrow cut off a question that started with "OMG!" to emphatically say, "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow." "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation," she added. She interrupted another question — "How is your social media team holding ..." — to make a pitch for an Astronomer conference in September. Paltrow concluded, 'We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers.' CEO Andy Byron resigned on July 19, and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot followed on Thursday, according to statements from the company. Their body language after the camera captured them in an embrace led Martin to remark on stage, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Astronomer said afterward it was investigating the incident. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' it said on July 18. The company confirmed Thursday that Cabot was the woman in the video. Neither she nor Byron have responded to requests for comment. Astronomer, a New York-based company, helps companies develop, grow, and analyze products using artificial intelligence.

Stellantis Stock (STLA) Powers Forward as Tesla's Chinese Challenge Intensifies
Shares in auto maker Stellantis (STLA) raced higher today as rival Tesla (TSLA) was handed another huge roadblock in the Chinese EV market. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The Stellantis leap came on reports that Hangzhou-based EV maker Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology is launching a battery-powered sedan in mainland China. Leap Lower The B01, a midsize sedan, offers features similar to Tesla's Model 3 but reportedly at less than half the price at 89,800 yuan. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, it is understood that Leapmotor, which is backed by Stellantis, also plans to launch the car in global markets at a yet-to-be-decided date. Deliveries to mainland Chinese customers will reportedly begin this month and include five variants with driving ranges from 430 kilometers to 650 kilometers. The top-end model is priced at 119,800 yuan, the report said. Meanwhile, a Tesla-made Model 3 is priced from 235,500 yuan to 339,500 yuan. Tesla's China sales have suffered this year, falling month after month, as it suffered more intense competition from domestic rivals such as BYD (BYDDY). That's important given that a fifth of Tesla revenues come from China – see below. Stellantis Charge China's car market has also been dragged into a price war as companies compete to win over consumers who, hit by a sluggish economy, are reluctant to spend. However, Tesla recorded a 0.8% increase in June, delivering 71,599 units and breaking an eight-month losing streak. Meanwhile, deliveries of Tesla's China-made Model 3 and Model Y autos surged 16.1% compared to May. These figures include vehicles sold both within China and exported to other markets. Tesla is hoping for further growth from its revamped Model Y car. The six-seat sports utility vehicle could be launched in the fall. Reports suggest that the new Model Y will be larger than the current five-seat version and will have a top speed of 201 kilometers an hour. As for Stellantis, known for traditional car brands such as Chrysler, it keeps charging forward in the electric space. It has been reported that starting this September, some South African Stellantis dealers will sell Leapmotor electric vehicles, starting with the C10 SUV. More models are set to follow over the course of 2025 and into 2026. It's much needed if it wants to keep making inroads into the likes of Tesla both in China and elsewhere. As we see below it has underperformed Tesla substantially over the last 12 months.

Here's ChatGPT's advice on how to spot the next meme stock
Amid this week's speculative euphoria, we asked ChatGPT what makes a meme stock. The chatbot laid out four things for investors to focus on. The AI also had some ideas about what stocks might be next in line for a short squeeze. What makes a meme stock? ChatGPT has a couple of ideas. When shares of Opendoor Technologies, a little-known online real estate platform, unexpectedly started surging this month, a few other seemingly random names followed. The list of stocks included Krispy Kreme, Kohl's, and GoPro, disparate companies united only by their financial challenges and vaguely retro vibes. On the surface, meme stocks that go parabolic have little in common, but if you look under the hood, there are some similarities in their profiles. How to find the next meme stock? We asked ChatGPT Since the GameStop short squeeze of 2021, investors have been trying to spot the next meme stock before it starts its ascent to the moon. After seeing some investors bragging on Wall Street Bets about getting winning trading advice from ChatGPT, we decided to test the AI's knowledge of the market's speculative frenzy. (We will preface all of this by saying it's not real investment advice. ChatGPT is scouring the internet—including Wall Street Bets! — for wisdom on the subject.) The prompt was: "What's the best way to identify what could be the next meme stock?" After clarifying what a meme stock is, the chatbot responded that identifying one is "more of an art than a science." It then proceeded to lay out some more detailed criteria for investors to think about: High short interest (>20% float), Days-to-cover ≥5The bot suggested Kohl's, Opendoor, and GoPro as examples of stocks with high interest from short sellers, naming and ShortInterestTracker as tools for assessment. Surge in social mentions (Reddit/Twitter)It highlighted the importance of noting sudden increases in a sock's mentions or upvotes on social media platforms such as X, Reddit and Discord, citing platforms including ApeWisdom and AltIndex. Unusual options activity (OI spikes)While discussing unusual options activity, it stated that "retail traders often pile into out-of-the-money (OTM) call options, creating gamma squeezes as market makers hedge by buying shares-fueling price surges." Meme narrative (pop‑culture, underdog story)ChatGPT highlighted the importance of a narrative, citing the David vs. Goliath mentality that drove the GameStop short squeeze or companies with products popular with retail investors, such as Krispy Kreme or AMC Entertainment, a fellow struggling meme stock. Wanting to test the AI's predictive abilities, we asked: "Based on this criteria, can you predict the next meme stock?" ChatGPT quickly named American Eagle Outfitters as its pick for the next meme stock based on its criteria, providing reasons it checks all four boxes. Per the bot: Social Media MomentumIts recent ad campaign starring Sydney Sweeney has ignited buzz across Reddit, X, and Stocktwits, pushing the stock up ~10% on the Interest & Squeeze PotentialWith ~13% of its float shorted, there's room for a squeeze if sentiment continues to climb. Options FlowEarly reports suggest call option volume has ticked upward around recent campaign news. Narrative + Meme-WorthinessThe Sydney Sweeney campaign taps into pop-culture, star power, and a viral storyline — all classic ingredients for meme stock fervor." Indeed, the fashion retailer's new ad campaign featuring Sweeney has made American Eagle a top trending stock across retail trading forums. While the stock is only up 11% for the week, the assessment shows that ChatGPT can spot trends as they're unfolding. Though it wasn't asked to, the chatbot added honorable mentions to what could be the next meme stock, including Krispy Kreme, GoPro, and Rocket Lab USA. It should be noted that these aren't great picks by the bot, as all of these stocks were already fading after surging earlier in the week. Meanwhile, RocketLab, though it has fairly high short interest, is not actually a meme stock. It is possible that ChatGPT confused it with Rocket Companies, which has much higher short interest and was among the meme shares to surge this the original article on Business Insider Sign in to access your portfolio
