Hello and welcome to Regulator, a newsletter for Verge subscribers about the most ambitious crossover event of all time: the infinity war between technology and politics. Not subscribed yet? Come on, do it! Washington might seem slower than Silicon Valley. But that’s because it’s more turbulent. In order to achieve anything, one has to navigate the sheer amount of chaos that emerges when thousands of federal elected officials, staffers, political appointees, lobbyists, corporations, lawyers, journalists, and influencers are trying to push their interests, often at the same time. For the past 20-odd issues of Regulator, I’ve written weekly about the big stories in tech’s growing influence in Washington, both as a tool used by politicians to achieve power and as an industry trying to bend the laws in its favor. But over the past year, it’s become harder to declare that there’s only one big story every week. So many new technologies are the subject of heated political debate — semiconductors, artificial intelligence, crypto, social media, surveillance, just to name a few — that to single one out every week seems like it barely scratches the surface of the action happening everywhere in town. So this week, I’m spilling the notes and plotlines I’ve collected in the course of reporting, as well as some of the most eyebrow-raising stories I’ve come across. Shockingly, even though the District is virtually iced in, and even outside of the partial shutdown, there’s been a lot of action... But obviously, yes, let’s talk about the shutdown first. Protracted negotiations alert: The House has narrowly voted to avert a partial government shutdown on Tuesday afternoon, but has publicly given its demands for ICE reforms: judg...

An oil exchange traded fund posted its biggest daily inflow since the pandemic as investors bet that prices will continue to rally as tensions between the US and Iran simmer. Nearly $200 million was reported on Tuesday to have been added to WisdomTree’s WTI Crude Oil exchange-traded product in recent days, lifting the fund’s total assets by just over a quarter to $915 million. US futures surged nearly 7% last week, the biggest gain since October amid threats by US President Donald Trump to use military strikes in Iran, one of the world’s biggest oil producers. Prices reversed sharply when markets opened on Monday as tensions appeared to ease and the broader commodities complex weakened. Days later, several tense military interactions between Washington and Tehran kept the door open to further escalation, with the inflows likely reflecting positioning for a potential bounce-back. The fund tracks crude oil using fully-funded, collateralized swaps rather than holding futures directly, muting it’s direct footprint in the futures market.

Key Points During the third quarter, asset managers increased their positions in Canopy Growth, one of the largest Canada-based integrated cannabis companies. Last December, a small amount of progress related to U.S. legalization led to a brief turbo-rally for Canopy Growth and its peers. As shares have pulled back since, has Wall Street's smart money cashed out, or are they capitalizing on renewed weakness? 10 stocks we like better than Canopy Growth › Canada-based Canopy Growth (NASDAQ: CGC) is one of the largest publicly traded pot producers. However, despite this, the company has remained consistently unprofitable. A big reason for this has to do with Canopy's inability to enter the U.S. market, based on current federal laws. There was some progress in this area last December, sparking a short-lived rally in Canopy and similar stocks. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Since then, however, excitement about this catalyst has dwindled. Marijuana stocks have pulled back. During the third quarter, some of Wall Street's smartest investors bought Canopy, ahead of the legalization rally. Whether they've decided to hold on or not may help determine the best course of action from here. Big-name hedge funds stocked up on Canopy ahead of Q4 2025 Based on the latest available SEC 13-F filings, it wasn't traditional asset managers, such as mutual and exchange-traded fund (ETF) management companies, that accumulated Canopy during the third quarter. Rather, the largest net buyers of Canopy stock during the quarter were some of the largest quantitative trading companies and hedge funds. These include Susquehanna International Group, which increased its position by around 2.75 million shares during Q3 2025. Other quantitative traders, including Citadel, Millennium Management, and D.E. Shaw, purchased 2.7 million, 2.1 million, and 1.9 million shar...

Lawsuit Challenges Trump's 'Gold Card' Visa Program Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times, A national university faculty group is suing to shut down President Donald Trump’s “Gold Card” visa, arguing that the new, expedited pathway to permanent residency for wealthy foreigners is unlawful. In a lawsuit filed Feb. 3 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and several foreign professionals say the program benefits rich applicants at the expense of “qualified, merit-based” candidates, such as scientists, engineers, and doctors. The Trump Gold Card program, which formally went live on Dec. 10, 2025, was created by executive order and described by the president as a “green card on steroids.” Individual applicants must pay a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee to enter the pipeline and, after clearing background checks, make a $1 million “gift” to the government. Employers can apply for a corporate Gold Card for workers by paying the same $15,000 fee plus a $2 million contribution per employee. The Gold Card does not have its own visa category. Instead, Trump’s executive order directs agencies to use existing EB-1 “extraordinary ability” and EB-2 “exceptional ability” green card categories and to treat the required payments as evidence that the applicant will substantially benefit the United States. Both EB-1 and EB-2 categories fall under the employment-based immigration system, which is capped at 140,000 visas annually. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), EB-1 and EB-2 visas account for about 80,000 of those slots. Because those green cards are limited and already in high demand, the AAUP lawsuit says, opening a fast lane for Gold Card applicants will increase wait times for existing applicants, forcing them to remain longer on temporary visas and disrupting the work they do. “Rather than reserving those visas for the world’s best and brightest, the Gold Card pr...

Sjo Boeing ( BA ) on Wednesday said it secured the largest landing gear exchange contract in its history, announcing an agreement with the Singapore Airlines Group covering more than 75 aircraft at the Singapore Airshow. Under the contract, Boeing ( BA ) will provide landing gear exchanges for aircraft across the SIA Group’s 737 Max and 787 fleets. The program is designed to give the airline greater flexibility in overhaul scheduling, helping extend the useful life of landing gear components while reducing aircraft downtime. “Our relationship with the SIA Group is built on delivering dependable solutions,” William Ampofo, senior vice president of parts and distribution and supply chain at Boeing Global Services, said in a statement. He added that the agreement combines Boeing’s ( BA ) global inventory and distribution capabilities with the airline’s maintenance planning to speed parts delivery and support reliable operations. The landing gear exchange program allows airlines to access serviceable landing gear assemblies through a managed inventory and partner network, limiting the need to hold large stocks of spare gear on site. The approach is intended to shorten maintenance-related ground time and improve dispatch reliability, particularly for carriers operating dense flight schedules. The deal adds to Boeing’s ( BA ) broader aftermarket portfolio, which includes parts distribution, repair management and logistics services aimed at improving fleet readiness and reducing maintenance disruptions for airline customers.

美国最高法院允许加利福尼亚州在今年的中期选举中使用一份更有利于民主党的新国会选区划分地图，这为民主党提供了一条途径，以抵消由于德克萨斯州新划分选区而导致共和党在众议院可能获得的优势。 周三，大法官们驳回了加州共和党以及美国司法部提出的一项请求。该请求要求阻止加州使用这份经选民批准的新地图，理由是该地图存在基于种族的选区划分操纵，因此属于非法。加利福尼亚州领导人坚持认为，新选区划分纯粹是为了对冲德克萨斯州共和党主导的选区重划，种族因素并未被纳入考量。 最高法院驳回了这一请求，未作出解释，也未指明法官内部有任何反对意见。 责任编辑：李桐

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his opinion on. Cramer showed concern that other competitors are beating the company, as he stated: My Charitable Trust owns Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. I’m feeling like I did during my obituary writer days with these. Amazon reports this week. I’m optimistic that maybe it could do a good number. I’m also wary that the market’s already reached a verdict in this one. Amazon’s being beaten by Walmart… when it comes to regular Prime and web services, being beaten by everybody, including Google. I don’t know. It doesn’t get the respect it deserves, but other stocks do. And those are the ones, I guess my trust should own? I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it all the time. Photo by Sunrise King on Unsplash Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) sells consumer goods and digital content through online and physical stores, provides advertising and subscription services, operates Amazon Web Services for cloud computing, develops electronic devices, produces media content, and offers programs supporting third-party sellers and content creators. Cramer discussed the company as part of his game plan during the January 30 episode. He said: Thursday evening, we have some real controversial stocks. So it all starts with Amazon, which has become a bit of a battleground, frankly. This one used to roar in earnings. Now, if Amazon goes up, it gets faded as sellers appear everywhere. If it goes down, you know what, at the opening, it just keeps going lower. Lost in the shuffle is the greatness of the company itself. We own it for the Charitable Trust. I’m a believer. I know it hasn’t been a good returner. Let’s see what happens. While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his opinion on.

But it’s a Cybercab and robot company. Now, it has a chance to blast off, but it hasn’t. You know what’s more magnificent than Tesla? How about General Motors?

(NASDAQ:TSLA) designs and sells electric vehicles and also develops and installs solar energy and storage systems for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. In addition, the company is working on autonomous vehicles and robots. During the episode aired on January 29, Cramer was bullish on the stock, as he remarked: I know it’s hard to believe how quickly this market can change its attitude. Last night, I heard a disastrous car company speak. Turns out it’s actually a robotics and Cybercab company, and I want to buy, buy, buy. Yes, Tesla’s the paper that turned into scissors in one session. I didn’t like it as a car company. Boy, I love it as a Cybercab and humanoid robot juggernaut. Call me a buyer and give me five robots while I’m at it.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his opinion on. Cramer made some favorable comments toward the stock, as he said: How about the others? Can you really underperform the S&P for a full year as these stocks have and still call yourself magnificent?… Apple could be making a move here. The pessimists are starting to tremble as the company gave terrific guidance when it reported last week. Somehow, though, the stock got slagged by a bunch of bears who controlled the narrative. Looks like that’s changing. brandon-romanchuk-NOFyRmSQfUQ-unsplash Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) manufactures and sells devices such as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, along with its line-up of wearables and accessories.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his opinion on. Cramer highlighted that he expects very good numbers from the company, as he said: But the only other stock in the Mag Seven that’s beating the market over the last 12 months and is fantastic is Alphabet. It’s up over 68%. That makes sense. When Alphabet reports on Wednesday, I think it can blow away the numbers. They’ve become synonymous with two words, beat and then raise. Something good seems to happen every single minute at Alphabet. Just this evening, self-driving car division, Waymo, raised 16 billion from Alphabet itself and other companies at $126 billion valuation. That’s amazing… Still losing money, but it’s the best in the industry in this country. Photo by Kai Wenzel on Unsplash Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) provides tech-related products and services, including search, advertising, cloud computing, AI tools, and digital content platforms like YouTube and Google Play. During his game plan presented on January 30, Cramer called it the “best stock in the business,” as he remarked: After the close, we hear from the best stock in the business, at least by my count, the one that we bought back for the Charitable Trust, because I just did, I had such seller’s remorse here, Alphabet. Yeah, this is a company that many wrote off as the least of the Magnificent Seven because they figured that, wouldn’t Google wreck Gemini? Instead, it turned out to be Steve McQueen… Whether it be Gemini, the best of the chatbots, or YouTube, the most popular video site in the world, or Waymo, yes, self-driving cars, or Google itself, it doesn’t matter. Alphabet’s the best. And when it reports, I think it could romp. While we acknowledge the potential of GOOGL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer looked at recently. A caller asked if it is a good time to invest in the stock, and Cramer replied: Okay, I’m [of] two minds on Broadcom. It’s not a good time to get into it, but it’s a great company. So what are we going to do? We’re going to let it come down. It did bounce today. We’re going to hope that Hock Tan does a buyback. He’s got the earnings. I’m going to throw in, let me throw in NVIDIA… This company is a winner in this environment, not a loser. And I will be right. Just going to take a little while.

(NASDAQ:AVGO) supplies semiconductor devices and infrastructure software, including networking, connectivity, and storage solutions. The company’s products are used for applications in data centers, telecommunications, broadband, smartphones, industrial systems, and AI networking. During the January 26 episode, a caller asked if they should hold or sell their position in the stock. In response, Cramer said: I’m going to make a suggestion, not hold, not sell, but buy. I think that Broadcom is down to the level, it’s about a hundred points from its high. Hock Tan has made quarter after quarter after quarter. I think he’ll do it again. It’s got growth. Software and hardware both are on fire. It does a lot of work with Google. It’s expanding that work. I think that Broadcom represents one of the cheaper ways to play artificial intelligence.

Software and hardware both are on fire. It does a lot of work with Google. It’s expanding that work. I think that Broadcom represents one of the cheaper ways to play artificial intelligence.

Apple (AAPL.US) rose 2% against the market trend, becoming a safe haven as its market value surpassed $4 trillion. 富途牛牛

Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. Apple is pushing deeper into artificial intelligence with the acquisition of Israeli startup Q.ai and fresh collaborations with Google to upgrade Siri using advanced AI models. The company is also expanding its global manufacturing footprint, supported by new policy measures in India that ease tax rules for foreign equipment supplied to its contract manufacturers. These moves come as Apple, NasdaqGS:AAPL, works to scale iPhone production outside China and reposition its technology stack around AI. Apple, NasdaqGS:AAPL, is making these moves from a position of scale, with a recent share price of $269.48 and a 1 year return of 16.3%. Over 3 years, the stock has returned 76.9%, and over 5 years, 103.2%. This provides investors with context for assessing how meaningful these AI and manufacturing shifts could be relative to its past performance. For you as an investor, the key questions are how quickly Apple can turn Q.ai and the Google partnership into AI features that matter to users, and how effectively it can build up India as a second major manufacturing base. Together, these decisions influence where Apple’s future growth engines might be located and how resilient its supply chain could become over time.

NasdaqGS:AAPL Earnings & Revenue Growth as at Feb 2026 How Apple stacks up against its biggest competitors Apple’s push into AI through the Q.ai acquisition and deeper work with Google comes on top of a very large, profitable core business, with first quarter revenue of US$143.8b and net income of US$42.1b. Layering AI-focused features onto an installed base of 2.5b devices, while India’s tax changes make it easier to fund high end manufacturing equipment, gives Apple mor...

In early February 2026, Oracle outlined plans to raise US$45–50 billion through a mix of equity, preferred securities, and investment‑grade bonds to fund a major expansion of its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for AI-heavy customers including AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok, and xAI. This funding blueprint, paired with strong demand for its large bond sale and efforts to preserve an investment‑grade rating, highlights how Oracle is using capital markets as a core lever to scale its role in the AI infrastructure ecosystem. We’ll now examine how this very large US$45–50 billion capital raise reshapes Oracle’s investment narrative around AI infrastructure risk and opportunity. We've found 13 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. What Is Oracle's Investment Narrative? To own Oracle today, you have to believe its huge AI infrastructure bet will translate into durable, high‑margin software and cloud relationships, not just expensive data centers. The plan to raise US$45–50 billion in 2026 to build Oracle Cloud Infrastructure capacity was already the key near‑term catalyst and risk, and the latest Lumeo RHIS pilot for Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent slots into that story rather than rewriting it. It reinforces the idea that Oracle is trying to layer AI agents on top of its existing EHR and applications footprint, which supports the thesis that capital going into OCI is meant to feed multiple businesses, not only GPU‑as‑a‑service deals with partners like OpenAI. That said, with the share price under pressure and debt already high, the real swing factor remains execution on this capital plan, not any single healthcare contract. However, the sheer scale of Oracle’s AI spend is something investors should not ignore. Despite retreating, Oracle's shares might still be trading above their fair value and there could be some more downside. Discover how much.

Wes Streeting is to offer resident doctors a bigger pay rise than other NHS staff as part of a new package of measures to try to end their long-running dispute. The health secretary also plans to guarantee resident doctors in England that hospitals will be fined if they do not give them good working conditions, such as rest areas and access to hot food. Streeting is looking at making a series of improvements to previous offers he has made, which may persuade the British Medical Association (BMA) to call off its nearly three-year-long campaign of industrial action. Senior figures in the NHS briefed on Streeting’s thinking are increasingly optimistic that the measures he is finalising may prove enough to break the deadlock before the third anniversary of the first doctors’ strike of the current dispute on 13 March 2023. The health secretary hopes that by offering to significantly improve – but for resident doctors only – the NHS-wide 2.5% pay offer for 2026/27, which the government insisted last October was the most it could afford, it could finally bring the dispute to an end. Sources with knowledge of talks Streeting has held recently with representatives of the BMA’s resident doctors committee say he is considering at least doubling the 2.5%. The doctors’ union condemned that figure as “indefensible” and “an insult” to doctors when the Department of Health and Social Care first proposed it in evidence to the NHS pay review body and doctors’ and dentists’ remuneration body. The search for a resolution has become more urgent since the BMA announced on Monday that resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, had voted overwhelmingly to keep on striking for another six months in pursuit of their demands for a 26% pay rise over the next several years, along with more places for doctors to start training in their chosen medical speciality. The five-day walkout resident doctors staged just before Christmas was their 14th strike since March 2023. Each of the three f...

XPeng Inc. reported that it delivered 20,011 vehicles in January 2026 and launched its P7+ sedan across 36 countries, including a European debut at the Brussels Motor Show. The company framed these deliveries as avoiding more than 300,000 tons of life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, underlining how its global push is being positioned as both a growth and environmental story. With this global P7+ rollout as a focal point, we’ll now examine how these developments shape XPeng’s broader 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 XPeng's Investment Narrative? To own XPeng today, you have to buy into a story of AI-heavy EVs scaling globally while the company is still loss making and competing in a crowded home market. The January 2026 update sits right in the middle of that tension. On one hand, 20,011 deliveries and a simultaneous P7+ launch across 36 countries reinforce the “global AI EV platform” thesis and highlight how management is leaning into software, chips and overseas production to justify XPEV’s richer sales multiple versus the broader auto space. On the other, the reported 34% year-on-year delivery drop and weak recent share performance keep near term volume and pricing pressure very much alive as key risks. In that sense, this news looks more like a rebalancing of catalysts than a clean positive or negative shock. However, one risk around XPeng’s ability to protect margins while expanding abroad now looks harder to ignore. Despite retreating, XPeng's shares might still be trading 28% above their fair value. Discover the potential downside here.

A month into the new year, the U.S. stock market continues to trade near all-time highs. Growth stocks have been leading the way, and that trend should continue. Let's look at three growth stocks to buy and hold for the long term. Of all the artificial intelligence (AI) stocks , Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has arguably been the biggest beneficiary of the data center infrastructure buildout. The chipmaker has grown to become the world's largest company thanks to the unquenchable demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs) -- the primary chips powering the AI revolution. And while other rivals are trying to eat into its market share lead, Nvidia continues to have a wide moat not just due to the quality of its processors, but also thanks to its popular CUDA software platform, upon which most foundational AI code was written, as well as its networking portfolio. With spending on AI data center construction continuing to expand, the company is in a good position to maintain strong growth over the long term. And with Nvidia trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 24.5, based on 2026 analysts' consensus estimates, the stock is attractively valued. Continue reading

Pent up demand for MI308 GPUs in China, which AMD has been trying to get a license to sell since early last year, were approved so that $360 million in Instinct GPU sales that were not officially part of the pipeline made their way onto the AMD books in Q4 2025. And with that move, for the first time in the history of the datacenter compute business at the chip maker – and rival to both Intel and Nvidia – that sales of Instinct GPUs outpaced sales of Epyc GPUs. This is a moment that has been more than a decade in the making, and a testament to all of the hard work that AMD has done with its hardware and its software to be able to compete with Nvidia at all in GPUs. That assessment comes from our own financial model of AMD, which has its share of educated guesses in it. But so does every other model put together on Wall Street. Our pal Aaron Rakers at Wells Fargo Securities estimates that Instinct GPU sales were between $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion in the quarter, and puts Epyc CPUs slightly ahead of GPUs. Even if he is right and we are wrong, it will not be long before GPU revenues at AMD almost always beat CPU revenues, simply because GPUs are more expensive and in higher demand. Admittedly, this may be a one-off situation until the “Altair” MI400 series starts ramping in the second half of this year, with three main variations and one spare, if what we hear and see is correct. (AMD uses MI400 and MI450 kind of fluidly as terms.) We went over the different variations on the Altair GPU theme back in November 2025 and are not going over all of that again. Suffice it to say that the Altair GPUs (which we gave their codename because AMD refuses to give us a synonym) and their “Helios” double-wide racks are going to be transformational to the AMD datacenter GPU business and foundational for the next level of that business. Chief executive officer Lisa Su reiterated on a call with Wall Street analysts that its own datacenter business can grow at more than 60 percent per...

Tesla has outlined plans to build a large scale, vertically integrated solar PV module manufacturing operation. Analysts have reacted by reassessing competitive risks for First Solar, with several issuing downgrades on NasdaqGS:FSLR. The potential for added supply and tighter pricing is drawing fresh attention to the long term outlook for U.S. solar manufacturers. First Solar, trading under NasdaqGS:FSLR, focuses on thin film solar modules for utility scale projects, mainly in the U.S. market. Tesla's intention to expand into vertically integrated solar manufacturing introduces a high profile competitor that could influence contract terms, buyer preferences, and long term procurement strategies for large solar projects.
