tiero/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Cloud infrastructure, necessary for the functioning of hyperscalers' AI applications, continues to grow in critical importance. Companies engaged in building and scaling this infrastructure are becoming attractive investment targets, especially in light of the fact that the annual rental cost for Nvidia ( NVDA ) GPUs rose by 40% in March 2026. Meanwhile, most contracts for older GPU models are being extended for up to four years, while most providers report a lack of available capacity for new contracts. Furthermore, next-generation Blackwell GPUs are so scarce that new units are not expected to ship until at least mid-2026. Market participants had previously assumed that chips such as the H100 and H200 would see a significant drop in price as Blackwell is rolled out. Despite the significant cost advantage of the new chips, it is the opposite that is happening: the demand for even older GPUs is so high that prices are only rising. Hyperscalers' product portfolios are expanding, only increasing the need for new computing power for cloud services. Combined with reduced supply, higher prices, and new contracts with non-cloud solution providers, these factors are contributing to the rise in shares of one of the industry leaders, Nebius ( NBIS ). My investment thesis in this article is that the inevitable supply shortage of a product critical to the AI industry will drive revenue growth. Proof of this is the large-scale $27 billion contract with Meta ( META ), possibly made possible in part by NBIS's priority access to NVDA's technologies. In spite of the external environment, which has deteriorated due to geopolitical risks and the likelihood of rising inflation, computer resources will remain in such high demand that the shares of a company like Nebius will retain their potential for market value growth, even during periods of volatility. Previous Theses The thesis I presented in my previous article on NBIS was that, even...
Tesla has benefited from higher oil prices in the past, so it might seem odd that crude is down sharply and the electric-vehicle maker’s stock is up. Benchmark oil prices were down more than 13% in early trading, below $95 a barrel. Hopes of an end to fighting in Iran are responsible for the moves.

The cuts, announced in a Form 8-K filing , are expected to amount to 145 jobs, roughly 23 percent of GoPro's 631 employees, and could cost GoPro as much as $15 million in severance payments and healthcare benefits. The company says the cuts will be implemented during the second quarter of 2026, and most of the layoffs will be completed by the end of the year.

Robert Way Alibaba ( BABA ) and China Telecom are launching a data center in southern China using the e-commerce giant’s own chips, as the country steps up efforts to build domestic AI infrastructure. The facility, announced on Tuesday, will feature 10,000 of Alibaba’s Zhenwu semiconductors, which are designed for AI training and inferencing, along with the ability to support AI models the size of hundreds of billions of parameters, according to reports. The Zhenwu-powered cluster is the latest evidence that China is doubling down on home-grown infrastructure to supercharge rapidly evolving AI development and meet surging demand as the artificial intelligence race with U.S. rivals including Meta ( META ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), and Elon Musk’s xAI ( X.AI ) intensifies, t he South China Morning Post said. Alibaba, one of China’s largest tech firms, has been designing its own chips through its T-head unit . The Hangzhou-headquartered company is also one of China’s biggest cloud computing players. The development comes as the U.S. has looked to restrict China’s access to key semiconductor technology, including AI chips from Nvidia ( NVDA ) , which has accelerated the country’s efforts to develop domestic alternatives.
