SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform. This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars! Current advances in AI are dependent on large terrestrial data centers, which require immense amounts of power and cooling. Global electricity demand for AI simply cannot be met with terrestrial solutions, even in the near term, without imposing hardship on communities and the environment. In the long term, space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale. To harness even a millionth of our Sun’s energy would require over a million times more energy than our civilization currently uses! The only logical solution therefore is to transport these resource-intensive efforts to a location with vast power and space. I mean, space is called “space” for a reason.

(Photo Illustration by Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto via Getty Images) The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.25, beating last year’s same period EPS of $0.14, and above street consensus of $0.23. Strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) technologies from the U.S. government as well as American businesses bolstered a record quarter for the company. The company also revealed its outlook for the next quarter, announcing revenue expectations of between $1.532 billion to $1.536 billion. Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) surged over 7% in Monday's extended-trading hours after the company reported market-beating fourth-quarter (Q4) earnings results. Strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) technologies from the U.S. government, as well as American businesses bolstered a record quarter for the company. Palantir reported Q4 revenue of $1.41 billion, about 70% higher than $827.52 million reported in the same period last year, and beating analyst estimates of $1.34 billion, according to data from Fiscal.ai. Meanwhile, the company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.25, beating last year’s same-period EPS of $0.14, and above street consensus of $0.23. CEO Alex Karp called the results “one of the truly iconic performances in the history of corporate performance or technology” in a call with investors. In a shareholder letter, Karp said that the results “were essentially unprecedented, we believe, for a company entering its third decade of operations.” Q4 Highlights The company posted U.S. revenue growth of a whopping 93% year-over-year to $1.08 billion. U.S. commercial revenue contributed to the jump, growing 137% year-over-year to $507 million....

Talaj/iStock via Getty Images Along with other gaming-related stocks, AppLovin Corporation ( APP ) collapsed last Friday. The leading marketing platform for mobile games was smashed due to some irrational excitement over a virtual world-creating AI gaming prototype, but the product is nowhere close to replicating a gaming platform. My investment thesis is now ultra-Bullish on the stock after this irrational dip, though AppLovin needs to find a bottom before an investor dives into the stock. Source: Finviz Project Genie Dump Only a few months ago, AppLovin was soaring due to the irrational excitement over the addition into the S&P 500 index. The index inclusion requires ETFs and mutual funds tracking the index to load up on the stock, but in theory the valuation one is willing to pay for an equity shouldn't change. AppLovin now faces the opposite scenario. The stock is being dumped due to fears regarding a gaming prototype developed by Google, owned by Alphabet ( GOOG )( GOOGL ). In a few months, the stock market has gone from buying regardless of value to dumping the stock regardless of value. The stock fell an incredible 17% on Friday when video game stocks nosedived on Google announcing "Project Genie". The research prototype allows a user to create virtual worlds, but the threat to AppLovin stops right there. Even Google Labs mentions the following issues needing improvements: Generated worlds might not look completely true-to-life or always adhere closely to prompts or images, or real-world physics Characters can sometimes be less controllable or experience higher latency in control Limitations in generations to 60 seconds User access requires a Google AI Ultra subscription at $250 per month and must be 18+ Doesn't include gaming mechanics and tends to hallucinate For the most part, Project Genie is built for exploration of virtual worlds, not an interactive gaming system to compete with Roblox ( RBLX ) and games from Take-Two Interactive ( TTWO ).

neilkendall/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Eastman Chemical Company ( EMN ) have been a poor performer over the past year, losing about 29% of their value. Like much of the chemicals sector, Eastman has been caught up in a brutal macro environment, leading to persistent oversupply and weak pricing. This is gradually leading to facility closures (especially in Europe), which should eventually stabilize markets, but the process is proving to be very slow. I last covered shares of Eastman in November , upgrading the stock to a “ B uy,” and that call has played out with shares gaining over 20%. With updated financials, now is a good time to revisit EMN. Seeking Alpha In the company's fourth quarter , Eastman Chemical earned $0.75 per share, which beat estimates by $0.03 as revenue declined 12% to $2 billion. Weakness in construction continues to weigh on results. With structural slowing in the Chinese real estate market and a U.S. housing market unlikely to bottom before late 2026, I do not see this pressure reversing, though its magnitude may decline. Given prolonged demand weakness, Eastman is seeking another $125-$150 million of cost cuts, beyond the $100 million achieved last year. The focus for EMN remains one of “hunkering down” to endure the ongoing weakness, which, I believe, is the right philosophy in this challenged sector. After having risen considerably, construction spending is lower than 2 years ago (note this is on a nominal basis, so with inflation, real activity is considerably lower). St. Louis Federal Reserve Turning to segment results, Advance Materials earned $59 million on $656 million of revenue. Earnings were down nearly half as margins compressed 590bps to 9%. As you can see, volumes were the primary challenge, with prices down just 1%. At the same time, higher energy prices have increased production costs, further pressuring margins. Many customers pre-bought products to front-run tariffs in H1 2025, which is still weighing on volu...

HJBC Amazon ( AMZN ) is reportedly planning another major headcount reduction as a Washington state agency indicated 2,200 upcoming permanent job cuts in the region. According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) from the Washington Employment Security Department, Amazon plans the job separations to begin on April 28 across “various locations in Washington.” The notification also shows 401 positions in the state will be lost due to the closure of one or more facilities. The latest development adds to the 14,000 global Amazon ( AMZN ) job cuts in October and last week’s announcement of 16,000 corporate layoffs to “strengthen the organization by reducing layers.” Despite the aggressive measures to reduce the company’s headcount, CEO Andy Jassy maintains it is not financially or AI-driven, but rather an effort to eliminate duplicate layers. “You can weaken the ownership of people that you have who are doing the actual work and who own most of the 2-way door decisions,” Jassy said on the company’s third quarter earnings call in October. “As a leadership team, we are committed to operating like the world’s largest start-up…and that means removing layers,” he added. Since becoming chief executive of Amazon ( AMZN ) in 2021, Jassy has eliminated more than 57K corporate positions across multiple rounds of layoffs.

Key Points After a rip-roaring 2025, Caterpillar is off to the races in 2026 Caterpillar is benefiting from artificial intelligence (AI) power and infrastructure demand, as well as record-high precious metal and copper prices. Even with outsized growth, Caterpillar’s valuation is stretched. 10 stocks we like better than Caterpillar › In January 2025, I predicted that Nvidia, which was the best-performing component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2024, would beat the S&P 500 again in 2025. That prediction came true. And although Nvidia was one of the top Dow performers, it wasn't No. 1. Heavy machinery and earth-moving equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) surged 57.9% in 2025 -- making it the top performer of the 30 Dow components. Caterpillar has added to those gains -- up 14.7% year to date at the time of this writing, and surpassing $300 billion in market capitalization for the first time in company history. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Here's why Caterpillar is on fire, and if the blue chip stock has more room to run in 2026. Caterpillar is very much a part of the AI boom The tech sector tends to capture the artificial intelligence (AI) spotlight. But rip-roaring gains from industrial stocks like Caterpillar and GE Vernova demonstrate the ripple effects of demand for AI infrastructure. Data centers are chock-full of high-powered chips and networking systems. But building those data centers requires power and construction. Caterpillar is at the cross-section of both the construction side of AI data centers and the power side. The company makes industrial gas turbines, generator sets, and battery storage solutions that can help power data centers when grid connections are limited or unavailable. Caterpillar has also been implementing AI into its products through the Cat AI Assistant and developing more intelligent, autonomous machines. On Jan. ...

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Last week, the Department of Justice released a trove of documents related to its case against Jeffrey Epstein, its largest to date. Amid the millions of files were many mentions of Elon Musk. A search of Musk’s name in the department’s database results in at least 1,500 hits. Since the release, Musk has been — what else? — posting through it, defending himself and his correspondence with Epstein on his social media platform, X. Musk said he had “very little correspondence” with Epstein and “declined repeated invitations” to go to Epstein’s island, despite emails showing he had been in touch with Epstein in 2012 and 2013, at one point asking him, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Epstein even offered to send a helicopter to bring Musk to the island. It’s unclear if Musk ever made it to the island, and he hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein. But the revelations certainly fly in the face of Musk’s past denials that he “REFUSED” invitations from the convicted sex offender, as does his bumbling efforts at damage control now that the truth has emerged. The revelations certainly fly in the face of Musk’s past denials that he “REFUSED” invitations from the convicted sex offender. To be sure, Musk is that rare executive who seems financially immune from his many controversies. He has endured defamation lawsuits, wrongful death lawsuits, sexual misconduct allegations, rumors of drug use, and more — and all the while his net worth continues to go up. But there’s no arguing that the news of the Epstein emails comes at a very inconvenient time for Musk, who is currently in the middle of several highly sensitive, high-stakes business moves, including a possible IPO and the attempted merger of at least two of his companies. SpaceX is lining up for a possible recor...

March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) on Monday closed up +45 (+1.08%), and March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) closed up +84 (+2.88%). Cocoa prices settled higher on Monday as signs of slowing cocoa deliveries to ports in the Ivory Coast prompted some short covering in cocoa futures. Monday's cumulative data showed that Ivory Coast farmers shipped 1.23 MMT of cocoa to ports in the current marketing year (October 1, 2025, through February 1, 2026), down -4.7% from 1.24 MMT in the same period a year ago. The Ivory Coast is the world's largest cocoa producer. Don’t Miss a Day: Last Friday, NY cocoa dropped to a 2.25-year nearest-futures low, and London cocoa sank to a 2.5-year low, as abundant global supplies and slack demand keep pressure on cocoa prices. StoneX last Thursday forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 287,000 MT in the 2025/26 season and a 267,000 MT surplus for 2026/27. Also, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) reported on January 23 that global cocoa stocks rose 4.2% y/y to 1.1 MMT. Demand concerns have hammered cocoa prices as consumers continue to balk at the high price of chocolate. Last Wednesday, Barry Callebaut AG, the world's largest bulk chocolate maker, reported a -22% decline in sales volume in its cocoa division for the quarter ending November 30, citing "negative market demand and a prioritization of volume toward higher-return segments within cocoa." Grinding reports also showed weak demand. On January 15, the European Cocoa Association reported that Q4 European cocoa grindings fell -8.3% y/y to 304,470 MT, a bigger decline than expectations of -2.9% y/y and the lowest for a Q4 in 12 years. On December 16, the Cocoa Association of Asia reported that Q4 Asian cocoa grindings fell -4.8% y/y to 197,022 MT. Also, the National Confectioners Association reported Q4 North American cocoa grindings rose only +0.3% y/y to 103,117 MT. Since posting a 10.5-month low of 1,626,105 bags on December 26, ICE-monitored cocoa inventories held in US ports have rebou...
