We recently published a list of Top 11 Trending AI News And Wall Street Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where eGain Corporation (NASDAQ:EGAN) stands against other top trending AI stocks.
The S&P 500 neared record highs on February 14th despite a busy week of US tariff hikes, inflation updates, a slump in retail data, and mixed reports from company earnings reports. Meanwhile, some magnificent seven stocks inched higher today due to optimism around growing AI-chip demand.
Furthermore, the global AI race is heating up as DeepSeek AI is empowering Chinese chipmakers to lower reliance on US technology as export limits remain in place.
In turn, the US is swiftly building partnerships with Asian countries founded on AI. The US and India announced on February 13th that they would work to create a roadmap by year-end to accelerate the development of AI infrastructure by boosting investments in new-age data centers and offering US-origin AI infrastructure to expand computing power access in the sub-continent.
“The US and India will work together to enable industry partnerships and investments in next generation data centres, cooperation on development and access to compute and processors for AI, for innovations in AI models and building AI applications for solving societal challenges while addressing the protections and controls necessary to protect these technologies and reduce regulatory barriers,” the countries stated in a joint statement.
