Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) , aka SpaceX, has quickly become one of the most noteworthy stocks to hit the market in some time. The rocket launch, satellite communications, and artificial intelligence (AI) company saw insatiable demand ahead of its public debut. Despite raising $85.7 billion, the offering was more than four times oversubscribed, according to reports. Put another way, demand was more than four times the available shares. It's easy to understand why. Investors are looking to get in on the ground floor of a once-in-a-generation company and ride the stock to new heights. After creating reusable rockets, SpaceX has plans to launch data centers into space, which could potentially be a game changer. One Wall Street analyst called SpaceX "one of the defining industrial infrastructure companies of the 21st century," with more than 400% potential upside, which would push its market cap to more than $10 trillion. Let's take a look to see if he's right. Continue reading

Sunlight19/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis I am rating NXP Semiconductor ( NXPI ) a Buy rating with a price target of $470 a share. This represents a 68% upside potential from the current price of $280.51. Figure 1: NXPI Price as of July 7th (Seeking Alpha) The foundation of my Buy rating view is built on the fact that the company is becoming something better. I say this because it is a high-quality intelligent edge semiconductor platform with exposure to software-defined vehicles, industrial automation, secure connectivity and AI-enabled processing at the edge. This is important because I believe the next phase of semiconductor demand will not only be about cloud AI chips. It will also be about pushing intelligence into cars, factories, buildings, healthcare devices, power systems and connected industrial equipment. And NXPI sits directly in that physical world. It is important to mention that NXPI's long-term framework is built around high single-digit organic revenue growth , gross margin expansion above 60%, returning 100% of excess free cash flow (FCFs) to shareholders and doubling non-GAAP EPS by 2030 and beyond. Figure 2: Future of Innovation and Long-term Value Creation (NXPI Q1 2026 Earnings Presentation) I like NXP because the business has a strong strategic position in markets where complexity is rising. I say this because cars are becoming software-defined, and on the other hand, industrial systems are becoming more automated. This means that devices need more sensing, processing, connectivity, safety and security. NXP has built a portfolio around those exact needs. And by this, I mean it sells the kind of chips that help real-world machines become smarter. Thirdly, I like the discipline in their operational model. I say this because NXP is not trying to grow at any cost. Historically, the company has shown strong operating leverage with 2020 to 2025 revenue growing at a 7.88% 5-year CAGR as shown in Figure 3. The non-GAAP gross profit has also...

Justin Paget/DigitalVision via Getty Images Infrastructure is fundamental to building projects that help both private and public organizations cater to the needs of their consumers. Infrastructure can be described as the backbone of a modern society. Investors who want to gain exposure to the infrastructure consulting industry should consider an investment in Jacobs Solutions Inc. ( J ). J currently has a backlog of contracts and is continuously adding new projects to its business queue. J is also committed to increasing shareholder value by increasing their dividends and share repurchases. For these reasons, I’m rating J as a buy. Company Overview Jacobs Solutions Inc. engages in the infrastructure, consulting, and advanced facilities businesses in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, India, New Zealand, Africa, and the Middle East. J provides consulting, planning, design, architecture, engineering, and infrastructure delivery, including project, program, and construction management and long term operation of facilities. J also offers consulting services for consumer and manufacturing, energy and utilities, defense and security, government, financial services, health and life sciences and transport sectors. J was founded in 1947, and its headquarters are in Dallas, Texas. Company Analysis J experienced a 26.95% YoY increase in revenue from $2.91 billion in Q2 2025 to $3.69 billion in Q2 2026. The primary driver of their revenue was their Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities segment, led by the data center, semiconductor, energy and power, water, and transportation sectors. This segment accounted for 90% of their revenue for Q2 2026. According to their 2025 annual report, the breakdown of their infrastructure and advanced facilities is 42% critical infrastructure, 30% water and environmental, and 28% life sciences and advanced manufacturing. I believe this broad sector exposure allows J to have a diversified revenue stream that provides a strong base for their operatio...

The bankruptcy of Zentoshin Co., an Osaka-based credit card payment processor, threatens both the regional banks which funded it as well as the small and medium-sized restaurants that relied on its services. Zentoshin filed for bankruptcy with the Osaka District Court on July 6, according to Teikoku Databank , Japan’s largest private corporate credit research firm. The company had total liabilities of approximately ¥115.2 billion ($710 million), at the time of the filing, making it Japan’s largest corporate bankruptcy of the year. Five listed regional banks and banking groups, including Towa Bank Ltd. and The San ju San Financial Group Inc. , have said they will take writedowns because of the failure. The company’s collapse was triggered by difficulty securing additional financing following allegations of employee misconduct two years ago. Zentoshin turned to crowd-funding to sustain its operations. Nevertheless, many of Zentoshin’s lending banks had classified their loans to the company as performing assets, meaning the impact on earnings will be significant, according to people familiar with the matter. Towa Bank said it would write off the entire ¥5.9 billion portion of its ¥8 billion in loans that is not covered by collateral or loan-loss reserves during the fiscal year ending March 2027. The bank is currently forecasting net income of ¥5.5 billion for that fiscal year, implying the write-off would push it into a net loss. The bank said it is reviewing its full-year earnings forecast. Zentoshin served about 200,000 shops, according to its website. Many of these merchants are small restaurants and retailers with limited cash-flow flexibility that depend on early payments, according to Osamu Naito, a manager at Teikoku Databank’s Osaka branch. If they do not receive sales proceeds that would otherwise have been remitted through Zentoshin, some businesses could face serious threats to their financial stability. In addition, merchants using Zentoshin’s card terminal...
