Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images Thesis Summary With the news of a potential $1 trillion IPO for SpaceX ( SPACE ), there’s some renewed interest in the space sector. For eager investors, there aren’t a lot of companies one can buy right now that are on the level of SpaceX, but one somewhat similar company in the market today is Firefly Aerospace Inc. ( FLY ). Firefly is not SpaceX, but it doesn’t need to be. With a growing backlog and increasing demand, there’s an argument to be made that this should be worth at least $6 billion, which was its original IPO price. The stock, in my opinion, could quite easily triple over the next 12 months. SpaceX IPO: The Catalyst FLY needs? Recent reports suggest SpaceX is exploring a 2026 IPO at a valuation close to $1.5. This would also likely follow a merger with xAi ( X.AI ). For Firefly investors, the SpaceX story matters less as a valuation benchmark and more as a macro and sentiment signal. With SpaceX entering the game and tapping public markets, it seems like we have finally reached a sufficient level of maturity, revenue visibility, and strategic importance in the overall aerospace sector. This development is what we need to light the fuse, but Firefly has to execute. Can it? Firefly vs. SpaceX: Different Stages, Different Games First off, let’s quickly point out that Firefly is not SpaceX. SpaceX is a vertically integrated behemoth with two decades of flight heritage, a dominant launch position, and a recurring-revenue satellite internet business. On the other hand, Firefly is still in the infrastructure-build phase. Its Alpha launch vehicle is early in its operational life, while its Eclipse medium-lift rocket remains in development, and much of its value is tied to future execution rather than current profitability. SpaceX is optimized for scale and cost leadership, while Firefly hopes to carve a niche for itself through specialization, specifically in areas of national security, lunar payload delivery, and in-sp...

Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images OpenAI ( OPENAI ) CEO Sam Altman said his startup is considering investing in biotech and pharmaceutical firms that utilize artificial intelligence applications to discover new drugs or therapies, according to Bloomberg. In return, OpenAI could receive royalties from the revenue generated by these new drugs. The investment by OpenAI could include the drug companies using AI models at no charge in exchange for royalties, the report said. Altman made the comments during Cisco Systems' ( CSCO ) AI conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. Currently, OpenAI has no such partnerships in place. "This is not something we're doing now, but I think the frontier of scientific discovery with AI will require so much capital that maybe we think of ourselves as an investor in some of those cases," Altman said. Altman's comments echo those made by OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar during the World Economic Forum in Davos last month. She suggested OpenAI could receive a share of revenue stemming from discoveries made with its AI tools, the report said. An array of pharmaceutical companies are already leveraging AI in drug development. This includes firms such as Recursion ( RXRX ), AbCellera ( ABCL ), Absci ( ABSI ) and Schrödinger ( SDGR ). Large pharmaceutical firms such as Pfizer ( PFE ) and Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) have also adopted AI tools. Big tech giants such as Google ( GOOG )( GOOGL ) have been involved in drug and therapy development using AI for years.

Nvidia's upcoming earnings report could be the biggest stock market event of 2026 so far. Nvidia (NVDA 4.21%) supplies the world's best graphics processing units (GPUs) for data centers, which are the primary chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) development. The company is gearing up to launch a new chip architecture this year that will reset the benchmark for the industry, and if history is any indication, demand will significantly outstrip supply. Nvidia is scheduled to report its operating results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter (ended Jan. 25) on Feb. 25, and investors will be focused on the strength of GPU sales for the period, as well as the company's forward guidance. Plus, during the accompanying conference call, CEO Jensen Huang is likely to provide some additional color on the longer-term direction of the AI industry. Here's why I predict Nvidia stock will soar following the Feb. 25 report. All eyes on Rubin Since the start of 2024, the AI hardware industry has centered around Nvidia's Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra GPU architectures, which are leaps and bounds ahead of anything else on the market. The Blackwell Ultra GB300 GPU, for example, provides up to 50 times more performance than Nvidia's original AI data center chip, the Hopper-based H100, which launched in 2022. That gives you an idea of how quickly the company is innovating. Last year, Nvidia unveiled an entirely new GPU architecture called Rubin, and it's expected to leave the Blackwell platform in the dust. It's so powerful that developers can train models with 75% fewer GPUs, and as a result, it reduces inference costs (the amount it costs for a model to accept a prompt from a user and generate an answer) by up to 90%. Rubin GPUs are now in full production, and they are expected to start shipping in the second half of this year. Cloud computing and AI giants, like Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle, will be among the first customers to receive them. Nvidia's upcoming conference ca...

Coinbase will continue to grow as the crypto market recovers. Coinbase's (COIN 5.51%) stock has declined nearly 40% over the past 12 months. The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. lost its luster as the top tokens struggled to attract new investors. But at $176, Coinbase looks reasonably valued at 25 times next year's earnings -- and I believe it could be a great buying opportunity for long-term investors. Why will Coinbase keep growing? From 2020 to 2024, Coinbase's annual revenue rose more than fivefold to $6.6 billion, even though its growth was temporarily chilled by the "crypto winter" of 2022 to 2023. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at CAGRs of 12% and 6%, respectively. Coinbase ended the third quarter of 2025 with a whopping $300 billion in assets under custody. That's up from $220 billion at the end of 2024.

To curb its reliance on retail trading fees, it's rolling out more subscription, custody, staking, and institutional services. It's even expanding its own Layer-2 (L2) blockchain to support the development of more decentralized apps. Simply put, if you're bullish on cryptocurrencies and decentralized apps, it could be smart to accumulate Coinbase's stock as the bulls look the other way.

Key Takeaways The latest deal, announced Monday, reportedly values the combined SpaceX-xAI at $1.25 trillion ahead of a potential mega IPO later this year. Musk in a SpaceX blog post said the deal would "accelerate humanity's future." Earth's richest man wants to build a mega company. Its mission is as ambitious as its reported valuation. Elon Musk yesterday confirmed earlier reports that his private space exploration company, SpaceX, had acquired xAI, his private artificial intelligence company—the latter which, by the way, owns X, his private social media company. The overarching goal, he said in a blog post, is to put satellites in space to "harness the sun's full power" for AI-driven applications and "accelerate humanity's future." If the premise of the company seems heady, it's because it is—if the future of AI is constrained by a lack of resources on Earth, Musk proposes, why not build it somewhere else? In more earthbound terms, meanwhile, the deal values the combined entities at $1.25 trillion, according to a Bloomberg report. The financial implications are big: Musk was already expected to make SpaceX the biggest initial public offering in history this year. The news has also revitalized discussions about space-based data centers—and kicked off fresh speculation that Musk might also bring Tesla (TSLA), the EV maker turned robotics company, into the fold. WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU, AND MUSK A hotly anticipated mega IPO from Musk could land this year at valuations rivaling the U.S.'s largest tech companies. And since Tesla owns some of the pre-IPO company, its valuation could get a boost as well. Imaginations worldwide—those fascinated by Musk, mega-finance, the next moves in technology, or all three—are fired up by the possibilities. So are bettors on prediction markets, though shares of Tesla and SpaceX rival EchoStar (SATS) don't appear to reflect the the volume of Street gossip. "SpaceX and xAI combine... Tesla next?"

NASA delays the launch of Artemis II lunar mission by at least a month toggle caption Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/AFP via Getty Images A crew of four moon-bound astronauts will remain on the ground for at least a month after NASA delayed the launch of the Artemis II mission. During critical pre-launch testing Monday, mission managers uncovered a number of issues that prevented the completion of the test. NASA is now planning a March launch date for the four astronauts — three from the U.S. and one from Canada — on a ten-day mission to circle the moon and return to Earth, traveling farther than any humans have ventured into deep space. Issues leading to that delay began about an hour into Monday's test, known as the wet dress rehearsal. As the team began fueling the rocket at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sensors picked up a hydrogen leak. Super-chilled hydrogen is used as the fuel for the massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. Sponsor Message Hydrogen is an efficient propellant for rockets — but its molecules are so tiny and light they can escape even the tightest of seals. Launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said they had troubleshooted the initial leak, but when they began to pressurize the tank, another leak surfaced. "And so as we began that pressurization, we did see that the leak within the cavity came up pretty quick," said Blackwell-Thompson. toggle caption Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/AFP via Getty Images Hydrogen leaks plagued testing of NASA's Artemis I mission in 2022. Blackwell-Thompson said lessons learned from that uncrewed flight were utilized for Artemis II, but there's more investigation is needed. The wet dress rehearsal uncovered other issues — including a problem with the Orion capsule, which will carry the crew to the moon. While no one was on board Monday, teams practiced preparing the spacecraft for its passengers. A valve that pressurizes the vehicle required additional attention and took more time to close the hatch than a...

The partial US government shutdown is on track to end later on Tuesday after the House passed a funding deal US President Donald Trump negotiated with Senate Democrats, overcoming opposition from both ends of the political spectrum. The spending package, which Trump has said he wants enacted quickly, now goes to the president for his signature. The House vote was 217 to 214. Still, a more limited funding lapse looms since the Department of Homeland Security would be funded only through February 13 while Trump negotiates with Democrats over their demands for new restraints on immigration enforcement agents. The rest of the government would be funded through the September 30 end of the financial year. Advertisement A group of conservatives had threatened to use procedural manoeuvres to blockade the deal but relented after Trump demanded they vote to pass the measure. “The president nailed it down,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, told reporters. “I’m glad we are all nails and there’s one hammer.” Advertisement The shutdown fight erupted after a US citizen, Alex Pretti, was killed in a confrontation with Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis last month. Democrats refused to pass full-year funding for the Homeland Security Department unless new restraints were placed on immigration enforcement.

Earnings Call Insights: Pfizer Inc. (PFE) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Albert Bourla stated, "2025 was a very good year for Pfizer. I'm very pleased with strong execution to deliver and, frankly, over-deliver on our financial commitments. We exceeded expectations for revenues and adjusted diluted EPS while also returning $9.8 billion to shareholders via our quarterly dividend. We grew overall operational revenue for full year 2025 when excluding COVID-19 products, achieved solid double-digit growth in recently launched and acquired products and expanded adjusted gross margins." Bourla highlighted strategic priorities for 2026 including maximizing the value of recent acquisitions, advancing the obesity pipeline, and scaling artificial intelligence across operations. He emphasized, "Seagen, Metsera and Biohaven are the most significant strategic acquisitions in recent years. They have transformative potential for Pfizer, and we are focused on maximizing the value of in-line product portfolios and accelerating pipeline development." Bourla called out progress in the obesity program, notably the VESPER-3 study: "Earlier today, we announced encouraging results from our VESPER-3 study, which previously was known as Metsera-097i (sic) [ MET-097i ], the ultra-long acting investigational next-generation injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist." CFO David Denton stated, "For the full year 2025, we recorded revenues of $62.6 billion versus $63.6 billion last year, representing a 2% operational decline. Importantly, our operational revenue growth when excluding contributions from our COVID-19 products was 6%. Full year 2025 adjusted gross margins expanded to 76%, in line with our expectations." Denton added, "Now turning to the fourth quarter of '25, we recorded revenues of $17.6 billion, a decrease of 3% operationally versus the same period of LY, largely driven by an approximate 40% operational year-over-year decline in our COVID products. Our non-COVID product performance was solid...

Quick Summary ChatGPT thinks Nvidia stock could trade lower over the next 60 days, projecting an average price around $191 by mid-April. Investors looking to trade the stock can build exposure incrementally using commission-free fractional shares on SoFi, starting with as little as $5, and new users can receive up to $1,000 in free stock . Rather than slowly scaling position size through a retail account, some active traders use prop firms like Apex Trader Funding to access funded futures accounts of up to $300,000 after a single evaluation. Shares of Nvidia traded slightly higher over the past month. The rally reflects a renewed conviction in the tailwinds of AI infrastructure, despite recent valuation debates. Against that backdrop, we ran Nvidia through an AI price-prediction agent powered by OpenAI’s Chat GPT.

If you’re watching that setup and want a straightforward way to trade the stock, SoFi’s own platform lets users start with as little as $5 in fractional shares, and new users can receive up to $1,000 in free stock. Nvidia’s dominance in AI accelerators forms the bedrock of its growth story, power...
