Daniel Hull/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Powerlaw ( PWRL ) surged 11% during pre-market trading on Friday, extending on the 14% gain the company enjoyed by Thursday's close, as investors seek to take advantage of its SpaceX ( SPCX ) holdings. Powerlaw runs a closed-end fund that allows average investors exposure to high-end, private AI and tech companies, such as OpenAI ( OPENAI ). SpaceX, which makes its historic debut on the Nasdaq today, happens to be its largest position , making up 19%, or $117M, of its portfolio, as of May 13. SpaceX ( SPCX ) raised $75B in the largest IPO ever , giving Elon Musk's space, satellite and AI company an implied valuation of roughly $1.77T ahead of its Nasdaq debut. Powerlaw was founded in 2024 and just began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market late last month. Its portfolio also includes stakes in Stripe, Databricks, Canva, Figma, Perplexity, Waymo, Kraken, Kalshi, and Groq. Its net asset value totaled $662M as of May 31. While the market's reaction suggests investors expect Powerlaw's net asset value to rise alongside SpaceX's public valuation, analysts note that closed-end funds can trade at premiums or discounts to the underlying value of their holdings. That means Powerlaw's share price may not move in lockstep with the value of its SpaceX stake once trading in the newly public company begins. Powerlaw Capital Group is backed by Akkadian Ventures, a venture secondary investment firm focused on the private technology market, with $1.36B in assets under management as of March 31, 2026.

gorodenkoff/iStock via Getty Images Einride AB ( ENRD ) recently went public through a SPAC IPO with Legato, so I wanted to go through the business in more detail, give some comments on what I think about it, and give some cautious warnings if you are looking to start a position in quite a risky venture that has not been proven to be working. I am quite interested in the business model, and I think it has legs to stand on. The only thing that is needed is the demand in the future for driverless freight transportation to get the scalability it needs to make a profit, and that may come eventually, or it may not. The company Einride is a vertically integrated freight-capacity-as-a-service provider that focuses on electric and increasingly autonomous road freight. It sells long-term contracted transport capacity rather than trucks. The company develops and operates digital, electric, and autonomous freight solutions, which bundle vehicles, charging, software, and operations into a turnkey service for shippers. Einride’s core technology platform is its Saga AI freight operating system, which plans and optimizes routes and fleet deployment across electric and autonomous trucks. The IPO Specifications Einride went the SPAC way of IPO, which is much quicker than the usual IPO way, with less scrutiny. The deal was valued at $1.35B pre-money equity, which was also revised downward from $1.8B. Valuation that was floating around last year. Einride secured $113m in PIPE financing, or Private Investment in Public Equity. This is a lot of cash for a company that is quite a high-risk, high-reward proposition. This money is going to help it to scale its operations and eventually break even and turn profitable if the company manages to get through these initial hurdles. Business Model I touched upon it briefly when I said it is a freight-capacity-as-a-service provider. So, what that means is the company doesn’t sell its trucks to anyone who wants one. It keeps them on its balance she...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Barely two months after the previous coverage , QuantumScape Corporation ( QS ) made some rebound attempts and justified my buy rating. But now, it appears to be going downhill again from $8 to $7. I can't blame the market for staying wary of this speculative stock. We haven't seen any final product yet as it stays in the shipping and testing phases, although it is starting to transition toward commercialization. Even so, QS is staying true to its promise as it remains on track with its targets. Valuation is still reasonable at this level, and the recent downtrend makes sense. Technicals are flat but appear less weak than in previous years every time it corrected before. QS Stuck At 5 AMH? No. Until now, QS only demonstrates a 5 AH cell. In the past two years, it has shipped B and B1 samples based on this architecture instead of advancing to a larger capacity. In this case, I understand the negative sentiments and skepticism of many investors. And now, the key business risk has already shifted from laboratory and research validation to commercial execution. However, we should understand that this has been its focus since 2024. If you look back at its developments, it was able to scale the manufacturing of the separator from Raptor to Cobra while improving yield and throughput. Aside from shipping samples, it has also prepared for the pilot-line production with the Eagle Line and demonstrated the manufacturability of its samples on OEM and PowerCo. These were proven effective. Moreover, its chemistry is already validated considering its numerous cycle-life and fast-charging tests. On top of that, Cobra has already reportedly provided throughput improvements over past processes. And today, it is integrated into production-oriented sample cells. Technologically speaking, QS is not stuck at 5 AH in the sense that it cannot make working automotive cells. Rather, it faces challenges related to manufacturing millions of QSE-5 at ...

The post What Are Oversold Stocks? by Benzinga Contributors appeared first on Benzinga . Visit Benzinga to get more great content like this. The S&P 500 has slipped roughly 4.6% from its recent peak of 7,620 to around 7,265, and that pullback has pushed dozens of large companies into what traders call oversold territory. When a stock falls hard and fast enough, technical indicators start signaling that the selling may have gone too far, and learning to read those signals can help you separate a temporary dip from a genuine decline. What Are Oversold Stocks? Oversold stocks are shares that have dropped so sharply over a short stretch that technical indicators suggest the selling pressure is stretched and a short-term bounce may be coming. The most common yardstick is the relative strength index, or RSI, a momentum gauge that runs from 0 to 100, where a reading below 30 marks a stock as oversold . Oversold describes price momentum, not business value, so a stock can be oversold and still be a poor investment, just as a high-quality company can trade at an oversold reading for entirely temporary reasons. How the RSI Flags Oversold Conditions The standard RSI compares a stock’s average gains to its average losses over the past 14 trading sessions. When losses dominate that window, the reading sinks toward 30 and below, signaling that sellers have been in near-total control. The flip side is an RSI above 70, which marks a stock as overbought and potentially due for a pullback. You can see the indicator at work right now: Trimble carried an RSI of 25.85 on June 11, making it the most oversold name in the S&P 500 during the current market slide, and Benzinga’s latest screen found consumer stocks like Alibaba trading with RSI readings near or below 30 . RSI is one of several momentum tools, and many traders pair it with other day trading indicators such as moving averages or the stochastic oscillator to confirm what they are seeing.

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images In my last article on Sandisk ( SNDK ) stock, the thesis concluded with a Sell/Exit rating based on the reasoning that its 3,540% rally (at the time) was dependent on a SaaS illusion. In that article, I argued that Wall Street values (incorrectly) Sandisk’s $42 billion remaining performance obligation as fixed-price recurring revenue and does not consider outer-year variable pricing risks. I put forward a theory that peak 78.4% gross margins are a cyclical peak and are inflated by high CapEx starvation and short-term AI KV-cache supply issues. In my opinion (at that time), as compute express link pooling matures, NAND may revert to commodity storage. More so, possible BiCS8 physical scaling limits may trigger a margin-crushing CapEx supercycle, and as spot prices deflate, Sandisk may be exposed to a hard downside reversion. Now, in the current article, I keep my Sell/Exit rating on Sandisk stock as Wall Street euphorically prices (1Y price return of 4,410%+) Sandisk as a quasi-SaaS AI infrastructure single seller. SNDK’s huge ~$278 billion valuation (Ycharts) does not consider the physics of semiconductor manufacturing. The thesis is expanding on new updates (at the Mizuho technology conference ) on the BiCS10 cost-curve inversion, as for the first time in the 3D NAND business, per-bit costs may rise, that may cap the gross margins harder-than-expected. Further, the heavily praised new business models (NBMs) are now leaving ~60% of the supply (FY2027 output) exposed to the unhedged spot market once the short-term supply shocks (due to factors like Samsung's labor strikes ) resolve. Major risks to our bearish thesis include faster-than-expected hyperscaler adoption of high-bandwidth flash that is circumventing system-level integration friction. Ycharts What Can Take Sandisk Stock Price Lower? The first factor on the bearish side is the NBM illusion, which is based on contractual risks and unhedged spot exposure. I do not follow...
