Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI won approval on Tuesday to run 41 methane gas turbines at its “Colossus 2” data center in northern Mississippi. That’s nearly double the amount it has been operating. The turbines will help power xAI’s massive data centers, which house the company’s “AI supercomputers”, or giant arrays of advanced chips, which in turn power the controversial AI tool Grok, the company’s most recognizable product. The decision, made by the Mississippi department of environmental quality, MDEQ, comes amid major public opposition to the data center, which demands enormous amounts of electricity. Community members and environmental advocates say the cluster of gas generators will contribute to hazardous air pollution in Southaven, Mississippi. “We are outraged,” said Abre’ Conner, the director of environmental and climate justice for the NAACP. “MDEQ chose to bulldoze through a decision that silenced the very residents most harmed by it.” Since xAI fired up Colossus 2 last year, bringing in unpermitted turbines, residents have complained of noise and air quality issues. At a public hearing held by MDEQ in Southaven last month, hundreds of people packed the room to express concerns over xAI’s impact on the community. According to NBC, no one spoke in favor of MDEQ granting the permit. “The scale, the speed, the intensity of this expansion are unlike anything this area has absorbed,” said Southaven resident Nathan Reed, per NBC. “This was not a thoughtful, phased development. It was an industrial surge imposed on our residential community.” The NAACP, which has instigated a lawsuit against xAI over Colossus 2’s pollution, says the MDEQ rushed its decision and dismissed community concerns. “It’s shocking that a state agency and board would refuse to address an unnecessary civic crisis, prioritizing convenience over justice,” Conner said. Amid similar community outcry, xAI set up its first datacenter in Memphis in 2024. It’s an enormous facilit...

Oracle (ORCL) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.79 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.7 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +5.24%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this software maker would post earnings of $1.63 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.26, delivering a surprise of +38.65%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Oracle, which belongs to the Zacks Computer - Software industry, posted revenues of $17.19 billion for the quarter ended February 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.77%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $14.13 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Oracle shares have lost about 22.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.7%. What's Next for Oracle? While Oracle has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

EyeEm Mobile GmbH/iStock via Getty Images Overview Following the June 2025 agreement with CoreWeave ( CRWV ), I became less cautious on Applied Digital ( APLD ). The massive 15-year, $11B total contract value helped validate Applied’s business transformation into data center hosting. But I wasn’t convinced just yet. Applied is tasked with building its “field of dreams” first, which requires massive financing and timing execution. When I last covered APLD, the company entered into an up-to-$5B perpetual preferred equity financing facility with Macquarie to fund the HPC hosting buildout and had plans to spin off its AI cloud services business. Now that the ball is rolling and its stock has nearly tripled in value, I wanted to get an idea of what APLD is valued for and how likely it is to meet these expectations. Data by YCharts Asterisks in Revenue Revenue acceleration became very apparent in the past two quarters. Seeking Alpha In its fiscal Q2 2026 , revenue shot up 250% YoY to $126.6M. But it comes with asterisks . ~$73M was associated with tenant fit-out services — CoreWeave making one-time payments to customize the data center. And ~$12M came from initial lease revenue for the 100MW building at Polaris Forge 1. Applied’s legacy data center hosting generated $41.6M (+15% YoY). These sites are essentially at full capacity. In October, Applied secured a $5B agreement with an unnamed hyperscaler for the Polaris Forge 2 campus. Separately, Applied announced Delta Forge 1, a new campus designed for 430 MW of utility power supporting up to 300 MW of critical IT load. (Author's Compilation) Pipeline vs. Reality So it is not a coincidence that the consensus revenue estimate for fiscal year 2028 jumps over $1B. Seeking Alpha Applied should have ~700MW live by this time. Long-term, management is targeting $1B in net operating income by 2030, which implies they will eventually reach ~1.5 GW to 2 GW of total capacity. Its current pipeline of disclosed campuses implies over 1 ...
