By Jeran Wittenstein | BloombergThe last time Big Tech delivered earnings, Donald Trump had just started his second term, stocks were soaring on expectations of a pro-growth agenda and investors’ main worry was how long it would take companies to convert their artificial intelligence spending into profits.

SAN JOSE — Struggles with fading passenger trips have worsened at San Jose International Airport, but upcoming new flights to a pair of cities could help lift the aviation hub’s fortunes.
