* The company said it expects higher expenses and capital expenditure in 2025 compared to 2024 due to higher infrastructure costs.


<blockquote>''“While we do not intend to provide any quantitative guidance for 2025 until the fourth quarter call, we expect infrastructure costs will be a significant driver of expense growth next year as we recognize depreciation and operating costs associated with our expanded infrastructure footprint.”''
''“While we continue to refine our plans for next year, we currently expect significant capital expenditures growth in 2025 as we invest to support our artificial intelligence research and product development efforts.”''</blockquote>
