Massive Recall Doesn’t Affect 15% Leap in Company Share Price

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-17 13:12:41

The stock price of a company that is in the middle of a major recall still managed to see a 15% gain by the time the market closed Friday. That recall has been issued for nearly 760,000 power tools following reports of explosions and fire hazards. The move is one to watch because some companies in the power washer market are beginning to integrate into their devices.

Entering her first year of teaching as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green State University, Sydney Koeplin had more on her mind than how to relate to her students. She was worried about how to deal with generative AI. At first, Koeplin took a "hard line" against allowing students to use AI beyond basic grammar and spelling checks.

Google is clearly trying to get more people to switch to Pixel 10, as the company has just launched a new “Head Start” tool that walks users through the process of moving into their new phone. Over the past several years, Android’s tools for transferring data from one phone to another have improved drastically.
