With Trump facing dozens of federal felony charges and hundreds of millions in legal expenses, Trump Media went public on March 26 on the Nasdaq exchange.

When IBM announced its intention to acquire HashiCorp for $6.4 billion on Wednesday at market close, it was easy to conclude that the two companies should fit well together, but a deal comes down to more than strategy. In his meeting with analysts after Wednesday's announcement, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said he sees HashiCorp as a critical piece of IBM's hybrid cloud management strategy, especially as it relates to generative AI. “As generative AI deployment accelerates alongside traditional workloads, developers are working with increasingly heterogeneous, dynamic and complex infrastructure strategies," Krishna told analysts.
