China’s ports continued to dominate global efficiency rankings in 2025, with seven Chinese trade hubs placing in the top 10, according to a study by the World Bank and S&P Global released on Wednesday. The latest edition of the annual report comes at a time when ports are playing a more vital role in the global economy than ever, as facilities strive to handle intense disruptions to global supply chains amid the aftermath of the Red Sea crisis and the ongoing fallout from the US-Israel war on...
A spate of agreements Nvidia has reached with South Korean companies presents a long-term road map for the country to expand its role in the semiconductor and physical AI industries, observers say.

A spate of agreements Nvidia has reached with South Korean companies presents a long-term road map for the country to expand its role in the semiconductor and physical AI industries, observers say.

An AI factory is a data centre running an end-to-end operational system that continuously collects and processes...

Jaap2/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction There are two very hard things to do in investing. The first one is being able to sit idle and do nothing. This is what I am currently doing with semiconductors and memory chip stocks. They were obviously a good trade, and I timed my ratings on Micron ( MU ) and Dell ( DELL ) correctly (to be honest, my estimate that Dell's upside was 50%, while the stock is already up over 200% since then). However, in the past two weeks, I have heard so many people who usually don't talk about the stock market telling me to invest in semiconductors that I have started to think that we might truly be in bubble territory, at least for this industry. In this environment, I usually let my winners go, but I don't chase those winners that I have not included in my portfolio. The second hardest thing is believing in what we see and find in our research process, even when everyone else seems to disagree or even dislike the outcome. This leads us to Adobe ( ADBE ) and its Q2 FY26 earnings report, which is truly a refutation of the AI-disruption narrative that is surrounding the stock. As hard as it is to believe that the stock will come back, especially while we are seeing it drop 6% in after-hours trading right after a clean beat and raise report, we have to make sure we stick to the numbers that Adobe is reporting, quarter after quarter. On these figures, I will share my valuation. Adobe's Q2 FY2026 Earnings Review As 2025 closed, I wrote a highly read article stating that Adobe was "the opportunity", giving a price target of $500 through my DCF that assumed a $9.5B FCF base and a 6% 5-yr CAGR. In March, when the stock was trading at $280, I reiterated the call, saying that as long as I was seeing ARR growth above 10% and healthy operating margins, the road to a recovery would have stayed quite open. The stock is now at $200; if the post-earnings drop is confirmed, it means that we are down roughly 50% from my original call. In the me...

SpaceX is set to make stock market history. The rocket maker turned satellite internet and artificial intelligence (AI) conglomerate is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday, June 12, after selling about 555.6 million shares at a fixed price of $135 apiece. It will trade under the ticker SPCX. The $75 billion raise would be the largest from any initial public offering (IPO) ever -- more than double the $29.4 billion record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019. And it gives the company an initial market value of about $1.77 trillion, instantly one of the most valuable companies in the world. Anticipation among everyday investors seems just as outsized. SpaceX 's prospectus names several retail brokerage platforms that will make shares available at the offer price, an unusual arrangement at this scale. Everyone else who wants in on Friday will pay whatever price the market sets at the open. So, what does history say about buying a debut of this magnitude on day one? Here are three lessons from the market's biggest IPOs. Continue reading

SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. has surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest oil exporter , in a sharp reversal after decades of dependence on Middle Eastern oil. Aided by disruptions in Saudi oil exports from the Iran war and Russian oil exports from Ukrainian drone attacks, the U.S. was the top global exporter for the third month in a row in May, Reuters reported Thursday, supported by data from the Vortexa ship tracking service shows. U.S. exports of crude and fuel climbed to ~10.5M bbl/day last month amid strong production and the release of strategic reserves, while Russian exports totaled 7M bbl/day and Saudi exports slid to 5.9M bbl/day. In 2025, Saudi Arabia exported ~8.1M bbl/day, while the U.S. shipped out 6.6M bbl/day, and Russian exports totaled ~5.8M bbl/day, according to Vortexa. While U.S. energy companies may have been the main beneficiaries of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia and Russia were trailing far behind U.S. companies on production growth long before the Middle East war started. Crude and liquids output in the U.S. has nearly tripled to ~22M bbl/day since 2000, Saudi crude and liquids output has largely fluctuated in the 10M-12M bbl/day range depending on OPEC quotas between 2000 and 2026, and Russian output has largely stagnated and declined to below 10M bbl/day since 2020. The U.S. in 2015 repealed a 40-year export ban it had maintained since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, opening the gates for its oil boom to the wider world, and now leads the world, countering skeptics who warned that the growth would be short-lived as fields deplete. Crude oil futures settled lower on Thursday after President Trump called off planned military strikes on Iran, saying discussions have advanced to the highest levels of Iran's leadership and a broad coalition of Middle East countries.
