Top Growth Stocks of October 2025 According to WarrenAI: Gold, Cruises, and Tech Lead the Way

Investing.com -- Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock edged lower Thursday, falling 0.6% following reports that AI startup Perplexity is making its $200-a-month AI browser free for all users.

The move by Perplexity represents a potential competitive challenge to Google’s dominant Chrome browser. Perplexity’s AI-native browser Comet, which can summarize webpages and extract key information, was previously only available through the company’s premium $200 monthly subscription tier.

According to Business Insider, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas announced the change at a launch event in San Francisco on Wednesday, stating: "We want to build a better internet, and that needs to be accessible to everybody." The free version will come with rate limits, Srinivas noted.

Perplexity is positioning Comet as a solution to combat what Srinivas describes as the rise of low-quality internet content or "slop," including both human and AI-generated material. The browser aims to help users focus on high-quality sources for research by filtering through content and summarizing information.

The company is also offering a $5 monthly subscription that provides access to premium content from outlets including CNN, The Washington Post, and Fortune.

Alphabet’s slight stock decline suggests investors may be weighing the potential impact of this new competitive offering in the browser market, where Google Chrome has long maintained a commanding position.

Investing.com -- Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. has stopped airing a television commercial for its heart medicine Amvuttra following regulatory scrutiny, after it received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The letter, sent September 9th, claimed the company’s commercial was misleading because it showed patients engaging in activities like whale-watching and cheering enthusiastically at football games.

George Tidmarsh, head of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, wrote that the ad incorrectly suggested patients "can be carefree" about their heart condition and "misleadingly suggests that treatment with Amvuttra will broadly improve a patient’s overall quality of life when this has not been demonstrated."

Alnylam maintains that its promotional materials are "truthful, non-misleading, and comply with applicable FDA requirements" but has discontinued the television ad while reviewing the agency’s comments.

Investing.com -- Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock is sharply lower for the second straight session after billionaire Elon Musk continued to press his followers to cancel the service amid what he views as the company’s overarching woke agenda.

Shares of Netflix fell 2.9% on Thursday, following a 2.3% decline on Wednesday.  Shares have now declined for four consecutive sessions.

Yesterday, Musk told his 226 million followers on X to “cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was responding to a post accusing Netflix of promoting a transgender agenda.

Musk singled out the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, saying it was “pushing trans ideology” to children. In another post, he responded to a user who noted the show is marketed for viewers as young as seven, writing, “this is not ok.”

Netflix has faced criticism from conservative voices in recent years over its content, but the company has generally maintained that it provides programming for a wide range of audiences.

Musk also agreed with a poster on X who said that Netflix is openly boasting about discriminating against White people. The post referenced a Netflix inclusion diversity report showing that in 2023, 71.4% of Netflix series featured an underrepresented lead or co-lead, compared with an industry average of 58.1%.

Search terms like “cancel Netflix” and “how to cancel Netflix” are trending higher on Google amid the backlash.
