Boeing, once an iconic American company, has faced tough questions from senators in a recent hearing over safety incidents involving its planes. The committee chairman, Richard Blumenthal, criticized the company for losing its way and causing harm to people. Dave Calhoun, the CEO who is stepping down, issued an apology for the incidents and two earlier fatal crashes that had occurred. Meanwhile, Nvidia has experienced a surge in its stock market value, becoming the world’s most valuable company with a market value of over $3.3 trillion. This success was driven by impressive quarterly revenues and profits as well as anticipation for the release of its Blackwell chip. In contrast to Boeing’s troubles, Nvidia made its stock more accessible to small investors by splitting its shares and lowering the share price.
