Key Points Private space-station builder Vast has raised $500 million in new funds. The Voyager-led Starlab group touts the abilities of its much larger planned Starlab space station. Meanwhile in Congress, plans are floated to keep the International Space Station around a bit longer. 10 stocks we like better than Voyager Technologies › Construction of the International Space Station (ISS) began in 1998, and 28 years later, it's starting to show its age. With persistent air leaks on the Russian side, it's slated to be pushed to a fiery death by a SpaceX spacecraft in 2031. The ISS might win a reprieve. A revised NASA authorization bill making its way through the U.S. Senate calls for keeping it around until 2032. Just in case ISS doesn't last that long, though, the bill also instructs NASA to sign contracts with two or more companies working to build a replacement. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Four separate teams of companies are competing to win NASA funding to help them build a replacement space station. These include: Orbital Reef, a joint venture led by Blue Origin and backed by Jeff Bezos and Amazon . . Starlab, a more-international rival venture led by Voyager Technologies , and with partners including Hilton Worldwide , Janus Henderson Group , Leidos , Northrop Grumman , and Palantir in the U.S., as well as international partners MDA Space , Airbus , and Mitsubishi . , and with partners including , , , , and in the U.S., as well as international partners , , and .

It's not uncommon to look with regret at stocks you didn't buy or that you sold too early. This is all part of the investing learning process, which is healthy. However, I think three stocks are trading at a discount right now that you'll regret not buying at today's prices. These three are artificial intelligence (AI) leaders, and each of them is down a fair bit from their all-time highs. The three stocks I'm eyeing are Microsoft (MSFT 1.84%), Nvidia (NVDA 3.17%), and Broadcom (AVGO 2.99%). These three are bound to be higher a year from now, and they look like screaming buys at today's prices. 1. Microsoft It's not often you can say that Microsoft's stock is historically cheap, but I think it is right now. Microsoft transformed itself as a business around a decade ago, shifting from a perpetual license model to a subscription one. Additionally, it became more focused on cloud computing. This marked the transition into a new company around a decade ago, so any metric that valued Microsoft then is irrelevant for the current state of the business. If we look at Microsoft's price-to-earnings ratio over the past decade, it has seldom been this cheap. While it still has a ways to go before it is truly the cheapest it has been over the past decade, we are quickly approaching that point. Surprisingly, there is really nothing wrong with Microsoft's stock, and this sell-off is unwarranted. It looks like a great deal right now, and investors will be kicking themselves later if they don't take action and buy now. 2. Nvidia Nvidia is in a similar boat, but I'm going to use a different valuation metric. Demand for Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) is off the charts and has led to unreal growth. For this fiscal year, Wall Street expects Nvidia to deliver an incredible 70% revenue growth rate. However, according to the stock's valuation, this is the last year of rapid growth expected by the market. At 22 times forward earnings, Nvidia has nearly the same price tag as the S...

Investing.com -- People’s Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng has issued a firm defense of the nation’s ballooning trade surplus, characterized as a stabilizing force for global financial markets. Speaking at the China Development Forum in Beijing, Pan argued that China’s current account surplus is effectively redistributed across the globe through strategic foreign investment by Chinese enterprises and financial institutions. The remarks come as Chinese exports surged by more than 20% in the first two months of 2026, a trend that has stoked anxieties among international trading partners regarding the impact of low-cost shipments on local industrial sectors. Trade imbalances and macroeconomic stability The scale of the imbalance has reached historic proportions, with the goods trade surplus hitting a record $1.2 trillion last year. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) recently revised its 2026 current account surplus forecast to 4.3% of GDP, up from an earlier estimate of 4.1%, following preliminary data showing a record $242 billion surplus in the most recent quarter. Pan attributed these distortions in part to "non-economic factors," including U.S. tariff-induced front-loading and restrictive export controls that he claims have warped global business and household expectations. To mitigate rising global tensions, Premier Li Qiang pledged during the same forum to broaden market access for the services sector and increase imports of high-value goods, such as medical products. China maintains the world’s largest goods surplus, but Pan pointedly noted that the country also runs the largest services trade deficit, a factor that Beijing argues provides a necessary counterweight to its manufacturing dominance. Investor focus remains on whether the country’s concessions will be sufficient to prevent a new wave of protectionist measures from Western economies facing a flood of Chinese industrial output.

Meta Platforms (META 2.11%) recently announced that it will be sunsetting its virtual reality platform Horizon Worlds. The app will be removed from its Quest VR headsets on June 15, although it will still be available in some form on its mobile apps. The move signals that the company is finally pivoting away from its failed metaverse ambitions. Horizon Worlds was once one of the key parts of Meta's metaverse strategy. However, the concept never took off, and Meta's Reality Lab division has piled up nearly $80 billion in losses since 2020, including more than $6 billion last quarter. Given the money the company had poured into the project, it could have tried to keep it alive. However, sunk costs are not a good reason to throw good money after bad at the metaverse, and as such, I predict this will be good for the stock long term. Meanwhile, it should more immediately start to reduce its losses from the division, which would boost Meta's overall profits. Meta can use its newfound savings to continue to build out its AI infrastructure and pursue its AI ambitions. However, I think that it could be a good idea for the company to shift from this strategy, as well. It has been reported that its new Avocado AI model has been delayed due to its underperformance versus competing models. That comes despite the company pouring money into AI infrastructure and spending big on hiring top AI talent.

Cuba suffered a widespread power cut on March 16, 2026, according to the national electricity company, against the backdrop of a severe crisis on the island caused by the US energy blockade. Yamil Lage | Afp | Getty Images Cuba's power grid collapsed Saturday, leaving the country without electricity for a third time in March as the communist government battles with a decaying infrastructure and a U.S.-imposed oil blockade . The Cuban Electric Union, which reports to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, announced a total blackout across the island without initially giving a cause for the outage. The union later said the blackout was caused by an unexpected failure of a generating unit at the Nuevitas thermoelectric plant in Camagüey province. "From that moment, a cascading effect occurred in the machines that were online," said a report from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, which activated "micro-islands" of generating units to provide power to vital centers, hospitals and water systems. Authorities said they were working to restore power. Power outages , whether nationwide or regional, have become relatively common in the last two years due to breakdowns in the aging infrastructure. The breakdowns are compounded by daily blackouts lasting up to 12 hours due to fuel shortages, which further destabilize the system. The last nationwide blackout occurred on Monday. Saturday's outage was the second in the past week and the third in March. The blackouts have a significant impact on the population, whose lives are disrupted by reduced work hours, lack of electricity for cooking and food spoilage when refrigerators stop working, among many other consequences. In some cases, hospitals have canceled surgeries. President Miguel Díaz-Canel has said the island has not received oil from foreign suppliers for three months. Cuba produces barely 40% of the fuel it needs to power its economy. Cuba's aging grid has drastically eroded in recent years. But the government has also blamed t...
