However, the tech giant no longer sits on the throne. Nvidia (NVDA +1.10%) took its spot. That's not even the worst news for Intel. The company isn't the top contender against Nvidia.

A comeback interrupted Until recently, a strong argument could be made that Intel was gaining ground. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan wrote to employees in March 2025 about seizing "an opportunity to fundamentally reinvent an industry icon." Intel made progress toward building a world-class foundry.

USA Rare Earth is a young company operating in a strategically vital industry. Is it one to add to your portfolio? In the artificial intelligence (AI) investment bonanza of 2025, several industries that support AI but are not directly involved in the software or even in the hardware side of the business got ignored. Rare earth minerals is one such industry. Rare earths are a group of 17 minerals that have become vital to modern technology. Advanced alloys, batteries, ceramics, lasers, magnets, and many other critical components can only be made with rare earth minerals. Many advanced weapons systems rely on rare earths, and China produces the vast majority of them. In fact, China produces more rare earths annually than the next nine top producers (including the U.S.) combined. I'm sure you can see why the U.S. military considers that a problem. Fortunately, the government is solving this by investing heavily in American rare earth mineral production. In fact, just this month, a bipartisan group in Congress proposed a new $2.5 billion agency, with the goal of boosting American rare earth production. The United States does have reserves of rare earth minerals, and companies like USA Rare Earth (USAR 1.39%) are working to extract them.

China has resumed purchases of Canadian canola, an early sign of a revival in the trade after the nations reached a deal this month to mend ties. Crushers in the country have booked cargoes of Canadian rapeseed, known locally as canola, for loading in the next few months, according to people with knowledge of the shipments. Importers also booked some canola meal for loading between April to June, said other people involved in the deals. China’s imports of canola and canola products from the North American nation — a trade valued at C$4.9 billion ($3.6 billion) in 2024 — had plunged last year after Beijing imposed steeps levies on the goods, a move seen as retaliation for Ottawa’s tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other industrial products. During Prime Minister Mark Carney ’s visit to Beiing earlier this month, he said China had agreed to slash tariffs on its canola shipments to around 15% by March and would also suspend 100% tariffs imposed on canola meal. Beijing has not confirmed the specific level but verified it would adjust its measures on Canadian canola and other agricultural products, including canola meal. Traders in the market estimated the canola purchased so far amounted to at least 10 cargoes, or about 600,000 tons, mainly for loading between March and April. They asked not to be identified as they were not authorized to speak to the media. With the tariff cuts, crushing a ton of Canadian canola would generate more than $40 in profit, according to the traders. More shipments are likely to follow if those lucrative levels hold, barring any renewed deterioration in relations, they said. Canada was China’s top supplier of canola in 2024, with the Asian nation importing about 6.1 million tons , customs data show.

Key Points Tesla's market share rebounded after the Model Y refresh and changes to tax credits. Competitors face unsustainable losses, while Tesla remains profitable and scalable. Robotaxi and FSD developments could drive future growth and revenue. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › There's no question that the electric vehicle (EV) market has become more competitive for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). At the same time, the company's long-term competitive position is strengthening, and it's well positioned to win the EV market. Tesla is already winning First, much has been made of Tesla's declining EV deliveries in 2025, and the reality is that they fell by 8.6% compared to 2024. But here's the thing. Tesla's deliveries were negatively affected by the Model Y refresh (the best-selling EV in the U.S., with the Model S second). 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 » The Kelley Blue Book Electric Vehicle Sales report's estimates of U.S. EV sales show a decline in the Model Y's market share in the back half of 2024 and the start of 2025, but a quick rebound in the second quarter when the new Model Y became available. In addition, note the massive increase in Tesla's and the Model Y's market share in the fourth quarter after the expiry of EV Federal tax credits. Simply put, Tesla was relatively less impacted than its low-cost EV rivals. An improving competitive landscape Speaking of low-cost rivals, there's a difference between a low-cost EV model and one that's effectively being subsidized to gain EV market share. The latter is not sustainable. A good example comes from Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), whose Model e segment lost $3.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025 and took a $19.5 billion charge as it refocused its EV operations. In contrast, Tesla remains profitable and has the scale to grow production, and in doing so, reduce its cost per car. The third...
