AI-driven data centers face severe power constraints as electricity demand is projected to reach 565 TWh by 2026.

The company has secured major deals with Oracle, Brookfield, and others, achieving $1.065 billion in Q2 revenue (166% growth) with 34% gross margins. However, the stock's sustainability depends on continued hyperscaler infrastructure spending.

"Hope Is Not an Investment Strategy," Says the Lone Wall Street Analyst Who Hasn't Been Wrong About SpaceX

SpaceX stock has fallen 15% below its IPO price and 50% from its all-time high, with 37 of 38 Wall Street analysts rating it a buy or hold. However, CFRA analyst Keith Snyder's sell rating and $115 price target have proven prescient. Snyder argues that SpaceX's $28.5 trillion addressable market claim is questionable, the company lacks recurring profits despite positive adjusted EBITDA, and Elon Musk's history of unfulfilled promises (Tesla's Level 5 autonomy, robotaxis) suggests investors shouldn't rely on hope when valuing the stock.

Goldman Sachs Says Oil Could Surpass $120 a Barrel if Hormuz Disruptions Don't Ease. Here's What That Means for Oil Stocks.

Goldman Sachs projects Brent crude could exceed $120/barrel in Q4 2026 if Strait of Hormuz disruptions persist, with an average of $100/barrel in 2027. The base case assumes de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran, with Brent averaging $80 in Q4 2026 and $75 in 2027. Both scenarios present strong opportunities for major oil producers like Chevron and ExxonMobil to generate substantial free cash flow and shareholder returns.
