- Apple (AAPL) named hardware chief John Ternus as the iPhone maker’s next leader, with Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook shifting to the role of executive chairman. Ternus, 50, will become CEO on Sept. 1, the company said in a statement Monday. The Apple veteran was head of hardware engineering since 2021 and has spent 25 years focused on product development at the iPhone maker. Bloomberg News previously reported that Ternus was Cook’s heir apparent. Shares slipped afterhours.

- Amazon (AMZN) is investing an additional $5 billion in Anthropic, and may inject $20 billion more over time, a deal that deepens the companies’ ties in an increasingly competitive artificial intelligence industry. Anthropic, which makes the Claude chatbot and coding tool, plans to spend more than $100 billion over the next 10 years on Amazon’s cloud technologies and chips, the companies said in a statement on Monday. Amazon shares gained more than 3% on the news in after-hours trading.

- Compass Pathways (CMPS) as well as shares of other psychedelic-linked companies surged in trading after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expedite research and access. The new order directs the US Food and Drug Administration to issue expedited review vouchers to psychedelics with a so-called breakthrough designation, shortening the review time to one to two months from six to ten months. AtaiBeckley, Definium and Compass Pathways all have therapies with breakthrough status.
