Salesforce stock ripped higher, jumping 22.6% to about US$252 by the close, as investors rushed to reprice what looked like a straightforward software quarter into something bigger.

The real story now moves beyond...

For investors, the question is how to weigh that mixed picture after the recent management change linked to the planned merger with ON Semiconductor. Over 5 years the share price is down about 48.8%, which means long term holders have...

For investors, the focus now moves from...

Photronics stock barely moved today, inching up just 0.03% after its Q3 report, which suggests sentiment is cautious rather than euphoric. That calm surface hides a more interesting story. Revenue landed at US$216.0m with integrated circuit and flat panel display photomasks both contributing, while gross margin was 33% and operating margin was 21%. A key factor for investor reaction is earnings per share at US$0.49, softer than earlier in the fiscal year yet still supported by a solid...

The planned overhaul of TransUnion’s consumer credit rating...
