Artificial intelligence isn't just a tech story. It's an electricity story, too. Wall Street increasingly believes that the build-out of AI data centers could drive one of the largest expansions in power demand in decades. According to Goldman Sachs, as hyperscalers race to build the infrastructure needed to operate increasingly complex AI models, global data center power demand could rise roughly 160% by 2030. Meanwhile, U.S. electricity demand from data centers alone may nearly triple during that period. Our power grids were not built for this kind of demand growth. Large AI data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity. Some hyperscale campuses are now being designed to consume hundreds of megawatts of electricity, putting their power needs on par with those of medium-sized cities. That is one reason some utility and power infrastructure stocks have been doing so well. Perhaps the most important one for investors to pay attention to is Constellation Energy (CEG +2.98%). Nuclear plus renewables for the win Constellation is currently the largest producer of nuclear energy in the U.S., operating a fleet of nuclear reactors capable of supplying stable baseload electricity around the clock. The company also operates renewable energy and power management operations, including wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, as well as energy optimization services. That combination isn't trivial. AI data centers increasingly require both reliable 24/7 electricity generation and broader grid flexibility to handle waxing and waning power demand. Nuclear plants can provide stable baseload electricity, while renewable energy sources paired with battery storage and grid-management systems are becoming increasingly important for balancing peak demand and stabilizing aging power grids. In other words, Constellation is not simply a nuclear story. However, nuclear energy is becoming central to the AI infrastructure discussion. Microsoft recently signed a long-term commercial power a...

Temperatures hit record highs for May in the United Kingdom and France on Monday, as forecasters warned of a prolonged period of extreme heat across Europe throughout the week. A so-called heat dome of warm air from northern Africa trapped under a high-pressure system over western Europe is behind the high temperatures not usually seen until high summer. Temperatures in Spain were expected to peak later this week at 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), while parts of Italy imposed restrictions on working outdoors. Advertisement “The weather here, it’s like a mini version of hell. It’s boiling. It’s like really hot,” said 10-year-old Liza Nizari on a visit to London, where temperatures normally average about 17 degrees or 18 degrees at this time of year. Lindy Brand-Daloze, a 66-year-old Australian administrator who has been living in London for 12 years, said: “It’s warm, but it’s climate change, isn’t it? So, you know, [we have] probably got to get used to this.” Advertisement The Met Office weather agency said Monday was the hottest May day on record, with the mercury rising to 33.5 degrees at Heathrow, west of the capital, at 1pm – 1.3 degrees more than the previous benchmark recorded in 1922 and 1944.

Issuers of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are meeting demand for broad exposure, packing AI stocks into various easy-to-own funds. That's led to growth in the dedicated AI ETF universe.Yet, even with all the success of large-cap AI equities, dedicated AI ETFs as a group aren't as large as many investors may believe. This corner of the ETF market holds just $49 billion in assets under management. A possible explanation is that many investors already have substantial AI exposure through S&P 500 ETFs and funds tracking the technology sector. Those products are efficient and often less expensive than dedicated AI ETFs. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?

Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, will soon go public, with June 12 being the projected day that it will begin trading on the Nasdaq. The initial public offering (IPO) is the most anticipated one in recent years, and investors have been eagerly looking for ways to gain exposure even before it begins trading. Musk already has one business worth $1.6 trillion in Tesla, and SpaceX could end up rivaling that, with its valuation likely to come in around $1.5 trillion or higher. Should you buy SpaceX stock when it becomes available, or are you better off avoiding it? Here are three of the most important numbers from the company's S-1 filing, which can help you make the right decision. 1. The company's total addressable market is $28.5 trillion SpaceX is all about growth, and the company claims that its total addressable market (TAM) is the largest ever, at $28.5 trillion. It estimates that its most promising opportunities are in artificial intelligence (AI), with that segment accounting for a $26.5 trillion opportunity, followed by connectivity at $1.6 trillion, and space at $370 billion. 2. Spending on research and development rose by 150% last year due to AI SpaceX has been investing heavily in AI, and that's evident with its research and development costs soaring by 150% last year. At $8.6 billion, they were the company's largest expense in 2025 after cost of revenue ($9.5 billion). SpaceX says the key reason was an increase in spending in its AI segment, and that trend could continue given the growth opportunities it's chasing in that area. 3. SpaceX's accumulated deficit is $41.3 billion Perhaps the most startling number on the company's S-1 filing was its accumulated deficit of $41.3 billion as of the end of March. This is the running total of the company's losses since it began operations. It highlights the risk that comes with investing in the business, as it is likely to have a long road to profitability. During the first three months of 2026, the company's net loss t...

Key Points Nvidia announced an epic dividend increase. The WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund was ready for it. Due to a unique methodology, this dividend ETF has significant exposure to tech stocks with long-term dividend growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund › When it released quarterly results, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) surprised investors by announcing a 2,400% increase to its dividend, ratcheting up the payout to $0.25 per share per quarter from a measly $0.01 per share. That takes the semiconductor stock's dividend yield to 0.4%. While that's less than half the yield on the S&P 500, it is more in line with yields on other mega-cap stocks and the Nasdaq-100. That index, one in which Nvidia is the largest component, yields 0.4%. 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 » An interesting footnote about Nvidia's enhanced dividend status is that many dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) weren't prepared for the increase. Still, the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (NASDAQ: DGRW) was. It's interesting why that's the case. DGRW does things differently Explaining why the 13-year-old, $16.7 billion WisdomTree ETF has, as of May 20, an 8.8% weight (higher than the S&P 500's exposure to the stock, by the way) to Nvidia isn't difficult. Many legacy dividend ETFs focus on yield or the length of payout-increase streaks. This ETF does neither, meaning it can include low-yielding stocks. That explains why the ETF has a 32.1% weight to tech stocks, which is high among dividend ETFs. The WisdomTree fund tracks the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index, which focuses on growth and quality factors rather than past dividend growth or yield. Said differently, the index attempts to get a handle on what future dividends from holdi...

Rachel Reeves has instructed cabinet colleagues to award government contracts in four critical industries directly to British companies, making clear her irritation that ministers have been sending too much government business abroad. In a letter seen by the Guardian, the chancellor tells every cabinet minister in charge of a spending department to “buy British” wherever possible, adding that she is disappointed they are not already doing so. Officials in the Treasury and Cabinet Office say they will now monitor billions of pounds’ worth of contracts in shipbuilding, steel-making, energy and artificial intelligence – and if necessary, override decisions taken by departmental ministers. Reeves’ letter was sent last week as she attempted to stamp her authority over her restive party, many members of which are expecting a change of prime minister within months. It comes amid a wider battle over who should be chancellor should Keir Starmer be replaced, with allies of Reeves and the energy secretary, Ed Miliband, insisting their chosen candidate should be given the keys to No 11. In the letter, which was co-signed by the Cabinet Office minister Chris Ward, the chancellor wrote: “We should all want to see more businesses grow and prosper and create good, skilled jobs and apprenticeships here in Britain. Every secretary of state can and must lead this agenda within their departments if we are to deliver the change the public expect.” She added: “Therefore, it is disappointing that we are still seeing too many government contract awards where this is not happening. We have instructed officials to take further steps to ensure your departments act in the wider national interest rather than solely focusing on narrow operational priorities.” There are also fears over how badly the UK economy will be hit by the Iran war, given how reliant the country is on importing its energy supply. Earlier this year the International Monetary Fund warned that the UK would suffer the biggest h...

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Analysts are raising concerns about so called AI round trip accounting practices at Big Tech, including Oracle, where investments in AI startups reportedly cycle back as cloud revenue. These arrangements involve funding unprofitable AI groups such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which then commit to spend heavily on cloud infrastructure. While current rules allow this treatment, critics warn it may inflate reported cloud growth and obscure the underlying quality of revenue. For investors watching NYSE:ORCL at around $192.08, this scrutiny comes at a time when the stock has delivered a 24.4% return over the past year and 91.2% over three years. The longer term 161.0% return over five years highlights how much of Oracle's story is now tied to its cloud and AI positioning, which makes the composition and durability of that revenue especially important. Questions about AI related round trip deals put a spotlight on how much of Oracle's cloud momentum depends on large, concentrated commitments from unprofitable AI customers. As regulators, auditors, and investors pay closer attention to revenue quality, Oracle's disclosures around contract structure, customer concentration, and cash economics could become a key focus for anyone assessing risk and potential volatility in reported growth.

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he’ll sign a political accord with the head of the European Union’s executive on May 28 on the release of the bloc’s frozen funds. The deal, to be signed with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, will provide an “outline” on what Budapest needs to do to tap the funds but the “hard work” will come between now and Aug. 31, when the €10.4 billion ($12.1 billion) in EU pandemic-recovery funds earmarked for Hungary expire, Magyar told the Telex news website on Monday. The EU froze more than $20 billion in funds for Hungary in 2022, including the pandemic funds, due to graft and rule-of-law concerns during Viktor Orban ’s longtime rule. Magyar, who campaigned on a pledge to bring home the EU money by reversing the democratic slide and tackling corruption, scored a landslide election win last month that ended Orban’s 16-year rule. The biggest challenge in tapping the funds from the so-called Recovery and Resilience Facility, or RRF, is to find compatible projects within three months, Magyar said. Although there’s “goodwill” on the EU’s part to help Hungary access the money, there are also strict constraints regarding the disbursement, he said.

One relatively easy way to save for retirement is to fund an IRA or 401(k) steadily over time. If you begin contributing to a retirement account in your 20s and do so through your 60s, you could end up with a lot of money -- even if you're only putting in a small amount every month. But some people don't start saving in an IRA or 401(k) in their 20s, or even their 30s or 40s. And so inevitably, they reach their 50s feeling like they're behind. That's what makes catch-up contributions so valuable. Catch-up contributions are available in both IRAs and 401(k)s, and they apply to workers ages 50 and over. You don't have to be "behind" on savings to make catch-up contributions. It's not as though they're only available to people whose balances are below a certain threshold. Rather, once you turn 50, you can put that extra money into your retirement plan and enjoy a tax break along the way. But while anyone 50 and over can benefit from catch-up contributions, there's a special 401(k) catch-up available this year for savers between the specific ages of 60 and 63. And it's an option you may want to take advantage of. How the 401(k) super catch-up works Workers 50 and over are allowed to put an extra $8,000 into their 401(k)s this year. But if you're between the ages of 60 and 63, instead of that $8,000 catch-up, you can make a catch-up contribution of $11,250. That brings your total allowable 401(k) contribution to $35,750. Why it matters The timing of the 401(k) super catch-up is intentional. Many people end up reaching their peak earnings years in the period leading up to retirement. And by your early 60s, you may be looking at fewer expenses, especially if your kids have grown up and moved out of the house or you're done paying for college. If you can spare the money, that super catch-up could give your 401(k) the boost it needs to go further in retirement. And it's especially worth making that super catch-up if you aren't thrilled with your 401(k) balance and would love...

Over the past year, many of the most common items that Americans purchase at the grocery store have already become much more expensive … When compared to the same time last year, fruits and...
