NVIDIA and CoreWeave previously announced an expanded collaboration under which NVIDIA invested US$2 billion for new CoreWeave Class A shares at US$87.20 each, aiming to help CoreWeave build more than 5 gigawatts of AI “factories” by 2030 using NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform. A distinctive aspect of the deal is NVIDIA’s plan to use its own balance sheet strength to support CoreWeave’s access to land, power and infrastructure, deepening the integration of CoreWeave’s AI-native software and NVIDIA’s reference architectures. Against this backdrop, we’ll examine how NVIDIA’s US$2 billion equity stake and technology alignment shape CoreWeave’s evolving investment narrative. AI is about to change healthcare. These 109 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. What Is CoreWeave's Investment Narrative? To own CoreWeave, you really have to buy into the idea that it can turn today’s capital‑intensive AI buildout into a durable, profitable infrastructure platform. Before NVIDIA’s move, the near term story already revolved around executing huge contracts, funding multi‑billion‑dollar data center expansion and managing volatile sentiment around an unprofitable, fast‑growing business. The US$2 billion equity injection and deeper technical alignment now sit right at the center of those catalysts, easing near term balance sheet pressure and potentially improving access to land and power, but also tightening CoreWeave’s dependence on a single technology partner. At the same time, the securities class action and earlier concerns about supply bottlenecks and revenue recognition do not disappear; if anything, the raised expectations around delivery and governance could make any future missteps more costly in the market’s eyes. However, the legal overhang tied to past disclosures is something investors should not ignore. CoreWeave's share price has been o...
Because of the stock's stellar long-term performance, it's worth paying attention to Costco. With fiscal 2025 (ended Aug. 31) net sales of $270 billion, Costco (COST 0.55%) is one of the power players in the global retail market.

Because of the stock's stellar long-term performance, it's worth paying attention to Costco. With fiscal 2025 (ended Aug. 31) net sales of $270 billion, Costco (COST 0.55%) is one of the power players in the global retail market. Charlie Munger, long-time right-hand man to Warren Buffett, never sold a share in the business. That's high praise. This retail stock's price has risen 540% in the past decade, even though it's trading 9% below its peak (as of Jan. 23). Investors should keep the business on their radar. Here are three important metrics to know about Costco. 1. Same-store sales The first data point that must be tracked is same-store sales (SSS), which measure organic revenue growth from each location, typically over a year-long timeframe. This is the purest test of management's ability to pick the right locations, boost foot traffic, increase spending, and run things efficiently. Costco has a fantastic track record of positive SSS that likely goes back a very long time. The last few years are telling. In the last six fiscal years (including 2020 through 2025), SSS grew. The facts of a global pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks, record inflation, rising interest rates, and weak consumer confidence today didn't matter. The company's ability to keep the positive momentum going in any economic situation highlights how stable demand is. 2. Membership renewal rates Costco doesn't let just anyone walk into its stores. People must pay annual fees to have the right to shop at the company's massive warehouses. Costco has 81.4 million members, a figure that has consistently increased over time. This generates a high-margin and recurring revenue stream that totaled $1.3 billion in first-quarter 2026 (ended Nov. 23, 2025). Investors should pay attention to the membership renewal rate, which was 92.2% in the U.S. and Canada and 89.7% worldwide in Q1. This indicates satisfaction levels, but the numbers were down slightly from fourth-quarter 2025 due to there being more digi...
Investors are on guard for the risk of another meltdown in Japan’s bond market on Wednesday when the government sells 40-year notes, a tenor that has proved vulnerable to sharp swings.

Investors are on guard for the risk of another meltdown in Japan’s bond market on Wednesday when the government sells 40-year notes, a tenor that has proved vulnerable to sharp swings. The auction comes about a week after Japanese bond yields soared to record highs on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s plan to remove the sales tax on food for two years. The 40-year rate surged more than 25 basis points last Tuesday, hitting its highest since its debut. “Headline risk related to fiscal policy could increase further,” said Barclays Securities’ strategists Ayao Ehara and Shinichiro Kadota in a note. “If such concerns re‑emerge, upward pressure on yields similar to last week’s move cannot be ruled out. Given this risk of a sharp rise in yields, lackluster auction results appear likely.” A weak auction may trigger renewed selling of longer-maturity bonds, which in turn could put pressure on the yen. This may increase speculation of official intervention in the foreign-exchange markets to support the Japanese currency. Japan Bond Crash Unleashes a $7 Trillion Risk for Global Markets While bonds have rebounded since last week’s rout, investors are bracing for more volatility to come ahead of Japan’s Feb. 8 snap vote. Japan’s largest opposition party, the Centrist Reform Alliance, has pledged a permanent tax cut on food, fueling concerns that fiscal discipline will weaken regardless of the outcome. “It’s not a good environment for the auction,” said Naoya Hasegawa , chief bond strategist at Okasan Securities Co. “With the election outcome and the direction of the food tax cut still unclear, the uncertainty is likely to drive a more cautious stance among investors.” Meanwhile, the yen is now hovering around its strongest level since November after comments from Japanese officials fueled speculation that the government may intervene in the market to prevent the currency from resuming its slide. Takaichi sent a fresh warning on Sunday that the government will be ready to take act...

U.S. memory giant Micron Technology is dropping a massive $24 billion on a new chip plant in Singapore, turbocharging its fight against a brutal global memory shortage that’s crippling AI builders and gadget makers alike. Massive Expansion Amid AI Frenzy This blockbuster investment, announced January 27, 2026, targets a sprawling 700,000-square-foot cleanroom for advanced wafer fabrication. Output kicks off in late 2028, zeroing in on NAND flash memory, the lifeblood of AI data centers and high-speed storage. Singapore already cranks out 98% of Micron’s flash chips, and this joins a $7 billion high-bandwidth memory (HBM) packaging plant slated for 2027 production. It’s a strategic masterstroke as AI inference explodes, with cloud giants like those in North America snapping up gear for the AI agent surge. Shortage Bites Hard, Prices Soar The crunch is real: analysts at TrendForce peg enterprise SSD contract prices jumping 55-60% as demand laps supply through late 2027. Micron held 13% of the flash market in Q3 2025, trailing leaders like Samsung and SK Hynix. Last week, Micron said It was in talks to buy a fabrication site from Powerchip (6770.TW), opening a new tab in Taiwan, for $1.8 billion in cash, that it said would boost its output of DRAM wafers. Strategic Edge and Road Ahead Micron’s Singapore pivot dodges U.S.-China tensions while locking in Asia’s manufacturing hub. Artificial Intelligence Market size was valued at $312.41 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach $2,414.52 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 33.93% from 2026 to 2032, this positions Micron to grab share from Samsung (43% flash lead) and SK Hynix (28%). Expect tighter supplies pushing margins up for a short-term, but still, Micron’s multi-site push signals a memory renaissance investors, take note.
