TOKYO, March 8, 2023 — Fujitsu today confirmed the effectiveness of Fujitsu’s Quantum-inspired Digital Annealer technology for optimizing the transformation process of legacy telecommunications networks. The project, the result of joint research conducted with the University of Toronto between April 2021 and February 2023, marks the first time in the world that quantum inspired technology has been applied to network modernization. Figure 1: Results of cost reduction. Fujitsu has derived a combinatorial optimization formula and developed a solution using the Digital Annealer to find the best circuit migration plan, which plays a crucial role in the rapid and cost efficient transformation of legacy networks. This approach allows Fujitsu to help network operator customers reduce the operating costs of legacy facilities by up to 30% and the transportation costs of engineers by up to 80% during the migration period compared with conventional commercial optimization software.

Hany Mosbeh, senior vice president, Middle East and Africa, JAGGAER, said, “The oil and gas industry is a complex and ever-changing environment. It is an industry that depends on an extensive supply chain, which, as we’ve seen in recent years, is highly susceptible to changes due to various macroeconomic factors.

Although recent rumblings in the options market seemingly bode poorly for Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, the company’s ability to weather various storms makes OLLI stock an intriguing stock to consider at this juncture. Having jumped so much this year, there’s a sense that Ollie’s Bargain Outlet ( NASDAQ:OLLI ) stock may be due for a pullback. Indeed, recent rumblings in the options market imply such. However, OLLI stock really offers a contrarian opportunity, particularly amid a still-weakened consumer environment. Plus, the underlying business facilitates flexibility. Therefore, I am bullish on the closeout retail specialist. At first glance, OLLI stock seems like a sensible investment. While improved from the wild peaks of last year, inflation remains stubbornly high . Moreover, mass layoffs represent the sad order of the day, particularly as enterprises wind down their operations amid high inflation and a worsening economy. Under these circumstances, a discount retailer would appear to make much sense. However, money talks – and some other unspoken material walks, as the colloquial saying goes. Recently, derivatives traders voted with their wallets, causing OLLI stock to become a notable highlight for unusual stock options volume. Specifically, following the close of the March 2 session, OLLI’s volume […]

Commentary May soybeans saw corrective selling today before closing at $15.15, down 13 cents on the day. May soybean meal saw losses of $5.60 and closed at $487.80. May soy oil saw selling alongside crude oil, closing 179 points lower at 58.66 cents. Soybeans saw losses amid profit-taking after the recent four-day rally and ahead of tomorrow’s WASDE report. It was a sea of red for most commodity sectors today as the Dollar rallied while equities and energies got slammed following comments by Fed President Jay Powell that were seen as overly hawkish in my opinion. US Ending stocks for beans are looking to come in at 220 million bushels versus 225 last month. The range of guesses is from 200 to 250. As eyes are always on the bean ending stocks number, the trade will also have an eye on Brazilian and Argentine soybean production. Argentina is the problem in my view and the drought there is a big reason why we have 15.00 old crop beans and meal near 5.00. Historically high in my view. Argentina is the World’s largest bean crusher. The average trade guess for production there is 36.65 million metric tons, down almost 5 […]

Shares hit fresh lows after management raise funds. Rivian is now well-capitalized and trending toward profitability. It’s looking like a long-term low might soon be put in. A 12% drop on Tuesday was the last thing investors of electric vehicle (EV) maker Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ: RIVN ) were expecting. Despite having already sunk more than 50% since last quarter, they would have been hoping the stock was set to start recovering rather than falling to fresh lows. After all, MarketBeat has written extensively about the recovery rallies across beaten-down tech stocks. But Tuesday’s drop has paid for that, for now at least. The catalyst for the fresh all-time low was the news on Thursday evening that the company had announced plans to raise a fresh $1.3 billion. Management has been spooked by the drop in demand for EVs in recent weeks, and they’re not alone in this. But investors have worried today that Rivian felt they needed to raise even more right now, having closed off 2022 with more than $12 billion in cash. It feels panicky, though, and begs the question of just how grim management’s outlook has become. Details Emerge They’re proposing a private offering of […]
