This morning, Tesla published its production and delivery results for the first three months of 2026. And for the first time in a while , the news has been largely positive. The automaker built a total of 408,386 electric vehicles, a 12.6 percent increase from Q1 2025 . Almost all of those EVs were Models 3 and Y—the company built 394,611 of these, a 14.2 percent increase compared to the same quarter last year. The rest were mostly Cybertrucks, as we learned at the end of January that the aging Models S and X had finally been put out to pasture . At 14 years, the Model S's service to Tesla showed longevity beaten only by Nissan's R35 GT-R, which was old enough to vote when it was finally retired. Overproduction Tesla also recorded an increase in sales for Q1, though not to the same degree. It sold a total of 358,023 EVs, a 6.3 percent increase compared to the same quarter in 2025. Unfortunately for Tesla, that growth is only half as much as the increase in production. Read full article Comments

"A Defining Moment": Nano Nuclear Submits Construction Permit For Kronos Reactor In Illinois Nano Nuclear submitted a Construction Permit Application (CPA) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for their Kronos microreactor project at the University of Illinois. The filing marks the latest step in a project we’ve tracked since site characterization began last fall . Watch: Modular Energy Pioneer Nano Nuclear Begins Drilling First Reactor In Illinois https://t.co/hUcFvtXfaD — zerohedge (@zerohedge) October 24, 2025 Kronos is a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) engineered for commercial deployment. It delivers 15 megawatts of carbon-free baseload power using meltdown-resistant TRISO fuel and helium coolant. The design emphasizes walk-away safety , autonomous operation during grid outages, and scalability through multiple units. Intended uses include powering artificial intelligence data centers, industrial electrification, military bases, and remote communities. Nano Nuclear acquired the technology in 2024 from Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp. and positioned it as one of the first commercially ready microreactor platforms. The University of Illinois partnership targets the first full-scale Kronos research reactor deployment. We detailed the October 2025 launch of geotechnical drilling and site characterization work, followed by a ceremonial groundbreaking. Those steps built on state support from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and positioned the campus project as the lead effort in Nano’s broader commercialization roadmap. The company has since expanded discussions for additional deployments in Texas , South Korea , and at U.S. federal sites . Under the NRC process, staff will first review the application package for completeness and docketing. Once accepted, the agency will conduct a formal technical and environmental evaluation . Nano estimates this formal review phase will take approximately 12 months , after which the NRC could authorize construction. T...
Tesla's first quarter sales report is out , and depending on how you look at it, the numbers are good but also bad. The company's sales are up a modest 6 percent year over year, but that's probably not the best way of looking at it considering the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Tesla - Elon Musk's Nazi salute, DOGE, Tesla Takedown protests - at the start of 2025.

Tesla's first quarter sales report is out , and depending on how you look at it, the numbers are good but also bad. The company's sales are up a modest 6 percent year over year, but that's probably not the best way of looking at it considering the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Tesla - Elon Musk's Nazi salute, DOGE, Tesla Takedown protests - at the start of 2025. Tesla's sales were down a whopping 13 percent that quarter , so a modest increase was expected. Instead analysts are looking at how this quarter stacks up against the previous one, and they're not finding a lot to like. Tesla said it delivered 358,023 vehicles to customers, … Read the full story at The Verge.

Blue Owl Capital stock plunged ~5% after investor letters by the private credit manager showed that it is curbing withdrawals from two more of its funds after a surge in redemption requests. Shares were trading 4.48% lower at $8.32 during Thursday's pre-market trading. Blue Owl Credit Income said in a letter to its shareholders that it received an estimated repurchase request of 21.9% of shares outstanding during the first quarter, against the fund structure allowing a quarterly liquidity of up to 5%. OCIC will fulfill its tender offer of 5% on a pro rata basis, representing ~23% of total shares tendered. Meanwhile, Blue Owl Technology Income received an estimated 40.7% of total tender requests during the quarter, and is set to fulfill its tender offer of 5% of shares outstanding on a pro-rata basis. For OTIC, the 5% tender offer represents $179M, higher than the gross capital inflows of $127M recorded in Q1. Blue Owl Technology Income's $52M outflows represent less than 2% of its ~$3B net asset value. Similarly, OCIC's 5% redemptions represent $988M against gross capital inflows of $872M in the first quarter. Blue Owl Credit Income's $116M outflows represent less than 1% of the fund's NAV. Blue Owl Capital said its two funds are in a strong position to meet their current tender obligation and any future tender offers. In February, OWL had halted redemptions for Blue Owl Capital Corp II, which targets retail investors. Yesterday, KKR & Co. ( KKR ) said KKR FS Income Trust, a non-traded business development company, curbed redemptions after receiving repurchase requests totaling 6.3% of the outstanding shares.

Effects of Iran’s blockade will depend on how long crisis lasts as disruption ripples through supply chains Middle East crisis – live updates The closure of the strait of Hormuz, the crucial oil and gas shipping route that has been blocked by Iran since the US-Israeli attacks began, is having ripple effects around the world, with most industries already grappling with rising energy costs. If the strait is not reopened, transport blockages across the Middle East could cause significant shocks to food and medicine supplies. No one knows how long the wider conflict will last, but governments are panicking about the implications. Yvette Cooper, the UK foreign secretary, is hosting a meeting with 35 other countries on Thursday to discuss reopening the strait. Here is what could happen in the UK if the blockade drags on.

e-crow/iStock via Getty Images ET Looks Like A Safe-Haven Yield Play I don't think I shall retell all the news of the past few weeks to make sure you understand what I mean by the "chaos" in the title of this article. As I'm writing these lines, both the S&P 500 ( SPX ) and the NASDAQ Composite ( US100:IND ) futures are falling by over 1% while the crude oil futures rise again (this time by 7.60%) following Trump's threats to hit Iran "extremely hard" . Seeking Alpha, main page In this environment, I was thinking about potentially safe assets that can weather the storm if consumer inflation ticks up again, making its second wave after COVID. Last time we saw abnormally high inflation rates - the 2021-2023 cycle - a lot of MLPs like Energy Transfer ( ET ) felt great. And even when the inflation subsided, ET, continuing this example, kept rising higher: Data by YCharts In today's environment, it looks obvious that when crude oil prices jump, energy names tend to follow, and when the markets calm down, the pumped-up stock/unit prices follow as well. But as we can see above, it's not entirely true. I believe ET can repeat its outstanding performance, having limited valuation contraction during the next (possible) inflation overheating. The massive long-term contracts to supply natural gas to AI-driven data centers that Energy Transfer has already secured are not going anywhere, which is making this pick not just a safe haven, but also a GARP pick among MLPs. My Updated Reasoning On ET Units My previous research article on ET was basically a preview piece, as I posted in late January . Since then, ET has already reported for its fiscal Q4 2025, showing an adjusted EBITDA of ~$4.18 billion (+8% YoY) at $25.32 billion revenue. The analysts were expecting $24.38 billion in Q4 top-line (+29.5% YoY), so ET has beaten the consensus by over 5%, according to Seeking Alpha. The partnership's results were largely driven by higher volumes in key divisions like NGL fractionation, LP...
