Most good investments start when the crowd is moving in the opposite direction of what you are buying. Right now, it feels like Wall Street is punishing anything with "AI" in the pitch deck, rotating out of tech into energy and consumer staples, and convincing itself the party is over. I'll be honest. I don't mind seeing this artificial intelligence (AI) pullback . I've been saying for a while that AI stock valuations have gotten ahead of themselves. To be clear, that doesn't mean AI isn't real or durable -- it absolutely is -- but the level of hype, aggressive funding rounds, and stretched multiples was getting a bit excessive. That said, being skeptical of all the hype doesn't mean value isn't present. As capital rotates and sentiment cools, opportunities start to show up in places the market isn't paying attention to.

narong sutinkham/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The Canadian company Poet Technologies Inc. ( POET ) is in the midst of the transition from a pre-revenue stage to operational expansion and commercialization of its photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and optical modules (800G and 1.6T, with the 3.2T in the development stage), protected by patents. As I explained, its main innovation is the Optical Interposer , which integrates photonic and electronic components on a single chip without wires. The advantages of this solution are lower cost (fewer components are needed) and power efficiency. We immediately understand that we are talking about the intriguing layer of the AI stack. Compute is where NVIDIA and AMD play, while we find POET in the infrastructure and networking layers. This means that POET is not a computer or a software company. Its optical engines move data between AI accelerators at extremely fast speeds (basically, the speed of light). Without this role, GPUs would be a massive bottleneck for AI. With an analogy taken from the human body, NVIDIA plays the role of the brain, while POET produces components that are part of the nervous system. After developing the technology, POET has secured manufacturing capacity through Globetronics and NationGate in Malaysia. The company also has a partnership with Mitsubishi, Foxconn, and Luxshare, which are suppliers of the hyperscalers. It may sound obvious, but if POET manages to execute, it could be a real beneficiary of the ongoing data center buildout, which is expected to last, at least, through 2030. As POET shows, the inflection point for 800G demand is already behind us, but 2026 is the ramp year for 1.6T, which should soon see its TAM grow to $1.5B in two years, with the $15B landmark in sight by 2030 . To sum it all up, the TAM that POET estimated in its investor presentation has already been revised by 43% for 2026 and by 46% for 2027 . POET Investor Presentation A big variable for POET is CPO (co-pa...

Never miss an episode. Follow The Big Take daily podcast today. Two decades ago, a federal prosecutor in Florida spent two years investigating Jeffrey Epstein and urged her superiors to charge him. Her frustrations mounted as her boss, US Attorney Alex Acosta, pursued a now-infamous plea deal that allowed Epstein to serve just 13 months, much of it on work release. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg legal reporter David Voreacos joins host Sarah Holder to examine emails and evidence recently released by the Justice Department. They reveal Marie Villafaña’s exhaustive efforts to hold Epstein accountable — and how, despite years of credible evidence, he managed to slip through the cracks.

白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳・莱维特 白宫坚称与伊朗的和平谈判仍在推进，尽管德黑兰方面公开拒绝美国的示好，并为结束这场已对中东地区及全球市场造成严重破坏的冲突提出了新的自身条件。 “过去三天，美国一直在进行富有成效的对话，” 白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳・莱维特周三对记者表示，“我们正开始看到伊朗政权寻求脱身之路。” “如果伊朗未能认清当前现实，” 莱维特补充道，“特朗普将确保他们遭受前所未有的沉重打击。特朗普总统从不虚张声势，他已准备好释放雷霆手段。” 她的言论与伊朗此前通过官方媒体公开拒绝特朗普谈判呼吁的表态截然相反。 伊朗国有媒体 Press TV 报道称，德黑兰方面也在寻求自身保障，包括美以不再重启攻击、战争损失赔偿，以及承认伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权微博。 特朗普周一为伊朗设定了为期五天的谈判期限，以达成协议结束战争。期限已过半，谈判状态与达成协议的可能性仍存诸多疑问。 据知情人士透露，美国已拟定一份 15 点和平提案，由巴基斯坦转交伊朗，凸显特朗普政府迫切希望解决这场近一个月前与以色列共同发动的冲突。莱维特周三表示，有关美国提案的报道 “有部分属实”，但提醒不要对匿名来源的计划进行猜测。 CNN报道称，副总统 JD・万斯可能于本周末前往巴基斯坦参与伊朗问题谈判。被问及该报道时，莱维特表示：“局势瞬息万变，在白宫正式宣布前，有关会议的猜测不应被视为最终定论。” 随着冲突即将进入第四周，尽管双方再度努力劝说对方达成解决方案，但彼此仍持续发动攻击。伊朗官方媒体 Press TV 报道称，该国布什尔核电站遭袭。 “我们已接近实现此次行动的核心目标，” 莱维特周三表示，“这场军事任务仍在全力推进。” 然而，最新进展打破了冲突快速解决的希望。特朗普政府展现出结束战争的新紧迫感，双方正争夺至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡控制权，该海峡目前基本处于关闭状态。 布伦特原油价格收于每桶 103 美元以下，因交易员初步计入美国外交推动结束对伊战争的预期。尽管市场对局势缓和的信心仍然不足，但投资者认为此次油价回落是本月初以来大量涌入多头仓位后的罕见回调机会。 华盛顿已向该地区增派更多部队，部分部队将于本周末前抵达。白宫强调，特朗普对进一步军事行动保留所有选项。 据知情人士透露，美国方案要求伊朗拆除主要核设施，并将缩减后的导弹库仅用于自卫。作为交换，伊朗将获得包括解除制裁在内的部分让步。 伊朗实际上已封锁霍尔...

wwing/iStock via Getty Images There is a saying in markets: equity investors care about return on capital and fixed income investors care about return of capital. Mostly, I'm an equities investor and am forward looking. But I'm happy to consider fixed income instruments when it makes sense. At the moment, I'm concerned about inflation. I don't think central banks are doing enough and that they are too dovish. Infrastructure is a great hedge against inflation, and in general infrastructure investments I like include the BNY Mellon Global Infrastructure Income ETF , and specifically in energy midstream I like NextDecade and Canada's Keyera Corp . In Europe, one might consider gas pipeline operator Snam . The world's largest energy infrastructure company is Enbridge Inc ( ENB ), it is also the world's sixth largest energy company measured on a free float basis. Its market cap is $118.2 billion, compared to Williams whose market cap is $90.0 billion. Enbridge is headquartered in Calgary, Canada, and has assets across (quite literally across) Canada and the US. It also has some assets in Europe. I watched the Enbridge 2025 Investor Day held in March 2025 and have gone through its 2025 10-K. My initial impressions are Enbridge is not focused. It has four segments: Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage, and Renewable Power. The first three segments make sense for a midstream company, in fact these businesses are the very definition of midstream. However, Renewable Power doesn't fit. I don't see the strategic synergy with the rest of the business. It is a different commodity and it is a different form: electrons, rather than molecules. Enbridge's argument for the business is that we are in an "all of the above" energy world and so they want to provide all of the above solutions. I agree that we are in an "all of the above" energy world. More energy means cheaper energy. But I prefer pure plays and midstream businesses should stick to midstream bu...

Dragon Claws/iStock via Getty Images We present our initiation note on Bloom Energy ( BE ), an American company specializing in SOFCs (solid oxide fuel cells), with a Buy rating. We believe the SOFC market is set to grow significantly, driven by rising data center power demand and shortages and long lead times for gas turbines. We see Bloom as the best-positioned player in the space given its technology, market positioning, and execution, and expect considerable earnings growth. While we remain wary of the strong share price rally, with the stock having quintupled over the past year on the back of AI-driven power demand, order momentum, and broader investor appetite for AI-related equity stories, which has also led to increasingly frothy valuations, we still see some attractive upside in the stock. We view it as one of the more compelling “AI picks and shovels” plays, although it is clear to us that a significant portion of the upside has already been priced in. We would be more constructive on the name in the event of a temporary pullback. In this note, we provide an overview of data center power demand growth and highlight the increasing need for baseload power; discuss the gas turbine shortage and its implications; briefly explain SOFC technology and its key advantages and disadvantages; and outline the outlook for SOFC market growth and Bloom’s positioning. We then present our investment case and valuation, and conclude with key downside risks. This is our initiation note on Bloom and the third name in our AI and AI power-related infrastructure series. Introduction to Bloom Energy Bloom Energy is a leading company that designs and manufactures SOFCs. Bloom’s SOFCs produce onsite power by converting natural gas into electricity without combustion. The company was founded in 2001 by K.R. Sridhar, who currently serves as Chairman and CEO. Bloom’s systems have been operating since 2017, and the company has announced a total backlog of over $20 billion. The company c...

Anthropic finds AI isn’t replacing jobs yet, but early data shows growing inequality as experienced users gain an edge, raising concerns about future displacement and workforce divides.

LOS ANGELES, March 25, 2026--A Los Angeles County Superior Court jury has ordered Meta Platforms Inc. and Google's YouTube to pay $3 million in punitive damages — $2.1 million against Meta and $900,000 against YouTube — for deliberately designing addictive social media platforms that caused severe mental health harm to a young woman during her preteen and teenage years. Jurors found that Meta was 70 percent responsible and YouTube 30 percent responsible.
