SEOUL — November 13, 2026 -- SEMIFIVE, a custom AI semiconductor (ASIC) provider, booked KRW 178.4 billion in new orders in the third quarter of 2026. That is up 437% from KRW 33.2 billion a year earlier and about 2.8 times the KRW 63.3 billion of the second quarter.

The consolidated order backlog rose 75% from KRW 140.3 billion in the previous quarter to a company record of KRW 245.5 billion. By FairsOnline's calculation, that is about 1.7 times the KRW 146.1 billion of revenue SEMIFIVE reported for the first nine months of 2026.

AI Agents Reach 73% of Major Banks, Only 8% Have Full Controls

BOSTON -- November 13, 2026 -- Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reports that 73% of the 26 systemically important banks in its benchmark permit AI agents in production for select use cases, while only 8% have a comprehensive, standardized framework to monitor and control them. By FairsOnline's calculation, that is about 19 banks running agents against roughly two with full controls, a ratio of about nine to one.

No bank in the sample permits broad production use of agents. At 88% of banks, about 23 of the 26, agents make up 10% or less of the AI portfolio, according to the report "AI Safety and Governance in Banking 2026".

Nvidia shares drop over 13% as CEO Huang quits, then trim loss

Berlin — November 12, 2026 -- Nvidia shares fell by more than 13% after the resignation of chief executive Jensen Huang, then narrowed the loss to about 4%, according to a release from the German outlet WELT. By FairsOnline's calculation, that is a recovery of roughly 9 percentage points, or about 70% of the initial drop.

Finance chief Colette Kress takes over as interim CEO while Nvidia searches for a successor

Huang leaves after more than 30 years at the head of the chipmaker. According to the release, his departure followed reports of personal misconduct and internal investigations by the board. CFO Colette Kress leads the company on an interim basis. Nvidia is looking for a permanent CEO both inside and outside the company.

The release describes the organization as built around Huang, with about 60 managers reporting directly to him. The release does not specify the allegations or the board's findings.

Wyndham Hotels declares $0.43 quarterly dividend payable Dec. 30

PARSIPPANY — November 12, 2026 -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.43 per share on its common stock, payable December 30, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2026.

Four payments at that rate would total $1.72 per share, by FairsOnline's calculation. Investors must be on the register by December 15, which is 33 days after the November 12 announcement and 15 days before the payment date.

The release does not say how the $0.43 compares with the previous quarterly payment, and it gives no total payout or share count.

The company, which says it has about 8,500 hotels and more than 877,000 franchised and affiliated rooms, cites its ability to make or pay dividends, and the timing and amount of any future dividends, among the risk factors in its forward-looking statements. The declared December 30 payment is therefore the only dividend the release commits to.

Laminar joins Rockwell PartnerNetwork for CIP fluid sensing

BOSTON – November 13, 2026 -- Laminar has joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork as a Technology Partner, giving manufacturers that run Rockwell technology access to its inline fluid sensors for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and product changeover processes. Rockwell (NYSE: ROK) employs about 26,000 people in more than 100 countries as of fiscal year-end 2025, and Laminar says the partnership lets it extend its technology across Rockwell Automation environments.

Laminar's patented inline spectral sensors feed machine learning models that identify fluid conditions and transitions in real time. Connected to industrial control systems, the output supports AI-based process decisions in place of recipes and fixed timers, according to the company. Under that approach, a cleaning cycle would end when sensors detect a change in fluid state, not when a preset timer runs out.
