Key Points Artificial intelligence data centers consume massive amounts of electricity. Conventional suppliers, in fact, are struggling to keep up with demand. Constellation Energy's unique mix of production positions it to be one of the first and one of the biggest beneficiaries of this evolution. 10 stocks we like better than Constellation Energy › Artificial intelligence (AI) is still the biggest and best investment opportunity of an entire generation. But are investors looking right past the best way to play it? Maybe. As it turns out, the industry's most underappreciated bottleneck isn't a lack of computing power, or for that matter, a lack of AI data centers. It's a lack of the massive amount of electricity needed to power the business. Goldman Sachs predicts that data centers' worldwide demand for electricity is set to grow by 165% between 2023 and 2030, mostly led by the ongoing proliferation of artificial intelligence. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » There are several ways to supply this energy, with some operators even establishing their own on-premise power production facilities. Utilities companies remain best positioned to meet this growing need, though, and likely will be for the foreseeable future. They'll also see a great deal of unexpected growth, rewarding shareholders as a result. And one of these utility names is arguably better positioned to plug into this growth than any of its peers. That's Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG). Constellation is unique If the name rings a bell, it may be because Constellation was the company that announced in September 2024 it intended to restart one of the nuclear power reactors at Pennsylvania's infamous Three Mile Island, after agreeing to supply electricity to a nearby AI data center owned and operated by technology giant Microsoft. This is only a microcosm of the much bigg...

A jeweller shows gold and silver bars at his shop in downtown Kuwait City on Jan. 12, 2026. Yasser Al-zayyat | Afp | Getty Images Gold and silver extended their sell-off on Monday, deepening losses from last Friday's rout as a firmer dollar and profit-taking drained momentum from a rally that had propelled the metals to record highs just days earlier. Spot gold lost around 5% to $4,617.07 per ounce, having crashed nearly 10% on Friday, when prices plunged below $5,000 an ounce. Silver, which had surged alongside gold on safe haven demand and speculative inflows, also remained under pressure after last Friday's 30% nosedive. Spot prices of the white metal were down more than 4% at $80.63 per ounce. According to analysts, the pullback followed a violent reversal on Friday, when optimism around U.S. interest-rate cuts collided with a sudden reassessment of Federal Reserve leadership after President Donald Trump nominated former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Chair Jerome Powell after his term ends in May. "The 'Buy America' trade is back as a result, and the independence bid that drove gold and silver to nosebleed record heights right below $5,600 and $122 per ounce early Thursday morning is unraveling," José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers, said in a note on Monday. Christopher Forbes, head of Asia and the Middle East at CMC Markets, said gold's sharp retreat reflects a classic correction after an extraordinary rally rather than a breakdown in the longer-term bullish thesis. Gold's retreat is a "classic air-pocket after an extraordinary run," Forbes said. "Profit-taking, a firmer dollar, and fresh geopolitical headlines from Washington have knocked froth off a crowded trade." The dollar index, which measures the strength of the greenback against a basket of currencies, has strengthened about 0.8% since Thursday. A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced gold less attractive for foreign buyers, while higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holdin...

China’s manufacturing activity improved in January, according to a private survey, a rare encouraging sign for an economy that’s been losing momentum. The RatingDog China manufacturing purchasing managers index rose to 50.3 from 50.1 in December, according to a statement released on Monday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast the gauge would dip slightly to the 50 threshold that separates expansion and contraction. China has seen weakening momentum in the economy in recent months, with few signs policymakers intend to unleash major stimulus as they continue to battle risks tied to local government debt. Beijing may even reduce the national goal for the economy for the first time in four years and President Xi Jinping has already signaled a greater tolerance for slower growth in some regions. China’s gross domestic product expanded 5% last year as record exports compensated for cooling private consumption and an unprecedented drop in investment. Chinese Consumers Are More Thrifty Than Before Trump’s Trade War China’s Industrial Profits Post First Yearly Increase Since 2021 Xi’s Export Machine Gets Lift From US Move to Strongarm Allies China’s Economic Momentum Weakens Despite Meeting 5% Growth Goal The results of the private survey were more bullish the official reading released over the weekend. That poll showed China’s factory activity unexpectedly deteriorated last month after snapping its worst contraction streak on record in December. The private poll tends to reflect activity in smaller and more export-oriented firms. The RatingDog survey results have mostly been stronger than those from the official poll in recent months as exports stayed strong.
Nvidia's 2025 was fairly lackluster compared to previous years. Over the past three years, there have been few better stocks to own than Nvidia (NVDA 0.72%). From 2023 to 2025, the stock has risen by more than 800%. However, most of Nvidia's returns were from 2023 and 2024, as it only rose 39% in 2025.

Nvidia's 2025 was fairly lackluster compared to previous years. Over the past three years, there have been few better stocks to own than Nvidia (NVDA 0.72%). From 2023 to 2025, the stock has risen by more than 800%. However, most of Nvidia's returns were from 2023 and 2024, as it only rose 39% in 2025. This makes me curious whether Nvidia's stock is about ready to take off in 2026. For fiscal year 2026 (ending January 2026), Wall Street analysts expect 63% revenue growth, so its stock rose far more slowly than its revenue grew. This could be a clear sign that Nvidia's stock is about to take off, and I think 2026 could be a far better year for the shares than 2025. If you don't own a ton of Nvidia stock, now is the time to load up For fiscal year 2027 (ending January 2027), Wall Street analysts expect 52% revenue growth. That clearly shows that demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs) isn't slowing down. Nvidia has told investors that this artificial intelligence computing megatrend will last through at least 2030, leaving several years of incredible growth to go.

Next, we need to determine a reasonable valuation for Nvidia. The four next-largest companies trade at nearly identical price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, so using a valuation of 33 times earnings is a fair analysis. With a P/E ratio of 33 and EPS of $7.66, that would price the stock at $253 by the end of the fiscal year. That's a 35% gain, which is slightly less than its 2025 performance. However, I don't think it's fair to value Nvidia at the same P/E ratio as its big tech peers. The reason? None of them is growing remotely as fast as Nvidia. ...
