But the full retirement age (when you can get full Social Security benefits) is 67 for those born in 1960 or later. While some people are fine with retiring on the typical timeline, not everyone wants to wait that long.

The tech stock didn't get as much attention as AI stocks like Nvidia , and it wasn't part of the battle royale playing out between Microsoft and Alphabet in generative AI chatbots.
