Bears like Prof G Markets co-host Ed Elson called the IPO filing “a trainwreck,” while ARK Invest’s Daniel Maguire defended the long-term Starship and launch-cost thesis. Shares of Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) stock slipped 2% in overnight trading heading into Thursday as investors weighed heavy SpaceX merger speculation against growing criticism of the company’s “crazy” valuation math and AI ambitions. TSLA stock jumped 2% on Wednesday, with shares on pace to record their second straight week in the green and their best month since September. SpaceX’s $28.5 Trillion AI Pitch Draws Fire Much of the controversy centered around SpaceX’s newly disclosed estimate that its total addressable market could hit $28.5 trillion, including a staggering $26.5 trillion from AI infrastructure, enterprise AI applications, subscriptions and advertising. Tech analyst Ben Thompson of Stratechery on Wednesday ridiculed the figures, calling the IPO filing “absurd” and mocking one of the filing’s “silly” charts. “In all seriousness, the numbers are obviously absurd, but then again, everything about this IPO is absurd,” Thompson said. The analyst said the valuation appeared disconnected from SpaceX’s current financials, noting that the company generated $18.67 billion in revenue last year, while posting nearly $4.9 billion in losses. Thompson also pointed to slowing revenue growth and escalating AI spending, partly from xAI integration costs. Analyst Says Musk Is Selling A Dream, Not Just A Stock Despite the skepticism, Thompson stopped short of dismissing Musk’s broader vision entirely. Instead, the analyst said that Musk’s greatest strength may lie in his ability to turn seemingly unrealistic narratives into commercially viable industries through investor belief and capital formation. Thompson compared the phenomenon to earlier periods in Tesla’s history, when repeated stock offerings failed to weaken investor enthusiasm, as shareholders viewed Tesla as part of a broader tech movement rather than...

Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), and Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ: RKLB) each surged to fresh 52-week highs on Wednesday amid a wave of company-specific catalysts. Micron jumped more than 3% after Barclays raised its price target on the chipmaker, while Ford climbed more than 3% following the launch of a new energy-storage subsidiary. Rocket Lab closed up nearly 5% after its proposed missile defense solution cleared a significant program milestone with the Space Development Agency. Micron shares hit an intraday 52-week high of $956.16 after Barclays hiked its price target to $1,175 from $675, implying roughly 28% upside from the prior close. Barclays maintained an “Overweight” rating on the stock and said it sees memory and storage as the “most attractive vertical below accelerators” in the semiconductor group. The bank added that it expects continued upside in pricing, with the supply-and-demand imbalance expected to persist through 2027. The price target increase followed Micron hitting $1 trillion in market capitalization on Tuesday, driven by a 19% surge in share prices, positioning the company for its best month in more than four decades. MU shares have rallied 863.28% over the last 12 months amid surging demand for artificial intelligence and a sustained rally across semiconductor companies. Ford shares jumped to a 52-week high of $16.06 on Wednesday, closing in the green for six consecutive days, after The New York Times reported the automaker received preliminary approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for an industrial bank charter. The charter is expected to give Ford greater direct control over funding and management of its financial subsidiaries, which already provide auto loans and leases to customers, while also lowering costs. Ford is among Detroit’s “Big Three” automakers that have reportedly received approval to become banks under the Trump administration. The company also launched Ford Energy, a new subs...

Broadcom Inc. is back in the spotlight as investors look toward the upcoming June 3 earnings report after strong AI-driven growth in recent quarters and a solid track record of beating expectations. Broadcom Inc. stock is drawing fresh attention from investors as the semiconductor and infrastructure software group approaches its next earnings report, scheduled for June 3, with the options market implying a potential share price move of around 7.5% around the event, according to an analysis of past reactions and current pricing by Investing.com as of 05/23/2026 (Investing.com as of 05/23/2026).

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images It has been quite a long time since our last update on the betting segment. In 2020, during the COVID-19 crisis, we took advantage of GLPI's valuation discount , and we initiated a position in the regional casino REIT market. With the same spirit and in line with our fundamentals-based approach, we decided today to analyze Flutter Entertainment ( FLUT ). The company is the world's largest online sports betting and iGaming player, with market-leading brands (Fig. 1) such as FanDuel (US), The Stars Group (UK, Australia, Europe), Sisal and Snai (Italy), and NSX (Brazil). Flutter brands Fig 1 The company reported its quarterly sales in early May 2026. Q1 top-line sales reached $4.3 billion, with an increase of 17% year-over-year (Fig. 2). On operating metrics, Flutter Entertainment's average monthly players reached 14.4 million. This represents a 3% decline compared to Q1 2025. Back to the sales evolution, the company supported its operations through favorable sports results, continued expansion in iGaming (+28% vs. Q1 2025), and contributions from acquisitions, including Snai and Betnacional. Given our investment in Playtech at the time, we began monitoring Flutter Entertainment. Going down to the P&L report, Flutter Entertainment showed mixed performance. The company's adjusted EBITDA reached $706 million, up 2% year-over-year. However, after accounting for corporate costs, the group's adjusted EBITDA reached $631 million. By region, the US EBITDA segment was at $119 million, down 26%, while the International EBITDA reached $587 million. The latest acquisitions well supported this. Given elevated investment and higher corporate overhead costs, net income declined to $209 million. Flutter Q1 Financials in a Snap Fig 2 Why are we positive? On a YTD basis, the company's shares declined by more than 55%. Flutter Entertainment's net debt is at $10.5 billion, and with a $16.5 billion market cap at the time of writing, the implied ent...

Lemon_tm/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) has indeed remained lackluster in May and failed to break above its 50-day moving average after a retest of it on May 12, 2026. Thereafter, the precious yellow metal staged a bearish reaction after a retest on the 50-day moving average for the second time on May 12, 2026 (the first time was on April 17, 2026). It printed an intraday high of $4,774/oz on May 12, 2026 and tumbled by 10% to hit a two-month low of $4,368/oz at this time of writing. Intermarket and technical factors are suggesting further potential weakness ahead for gold. Let’s unpack them. Major bullish breakout in the US 10-year Treasury real yield Fig. 1: Medium-term intermarket analysis of 10-year US Treasury yield with gold as of May 28, 2026 (Source: TradingView) The 10-year US Treasury real yield (nominal yield minus the 10-year breakeven rate derived from the 10-year Treasury inflation-protected security) has remained resilient on the upside after it managed to find support at its key 200-day moving average (1.85%) since April 15, 2026. Thereafter, it rallied by 37 basis points to hit almost a one-year high of 2.26% on May 20, 2026 and staged a prior major bullish breakout from a former key descending channel resistance earlier on May 15, 2026 (see Fig. 1). These observations suggest that the 10-year US Treasury real yield is likely undergoing a potential major uptrend phase (multi-month), with the next medium-term resistance coming in at 2.38% next in the first step. Gold has a significant indirect correlation with the longer-term US Treasury yields, as the precious yellow metal is a non-interest income-bearing asset. Hence, further upside in the 10-year US Treasury real yield translates into a further potential feedback loop into gold. Let’s focus now on the short-term trajectory (1-3 days) of gold (XAU/USD).

Meta Platforms计划向大型合作企业派驻工程师与产品经理,为此该社交媒体巨头专门成立全新部门,旨在推动各类企业采用其人工智能工具与服务。 高管娜奥米・格莱特在一份内部备忘录中表示,这个名为企业解决方案部的新团队由三类人员组成:负责对接客户的产品经理、为Meta人工智能系统整理客户数据的数据工程师,以及将Meta工具直接嵌入企业现有运营系统的软件工程师。此前, 谷歌 等企业也已推出类似举措,派遣常被称作前置驻场工程师的技术顾问,为商业客户定制人工智能方案。 这份备忘录经科技媒体查阅,格莱特在文中写道:“行业内已有不少企业通过派驻这类专业人员,助力旗下人工智能、高级数据工具等产品快速普及,并取得了显著成效。” 这份备忘录于上周内部传阅,其中并未说明该企业团队具体将推广哪些产品与服务。Meta Platforms的主营业务目前仍是依托旗下多款应用的海量用户投放广告。不过近期,首席执行官马克・扎克伯格及其他高管频频表态,计划拓展业务版图,向投资者证明公司在人工智能基础设施上的巨额投入具备价值。 为进一步将人工智能领域的大额投入转化为收益,元平台于本周三宣布,正在脸书、照片墙和瓦次普中,为旗下 AI 聊天机器人测试全新付费订阅服务。 十多年来,Meta一直在尝试打造企业级产品,但成果寥寥。2016 年,它推出主打办公场景的脸书工作平台,对标 微软 团队协作软件,该产品已于两年前宣布关停。此外,Meta也为企业提供借助即时通讯工具信使、瓦次普触达客户的服务,但这块业务体量始终偏小。去年,Meta 98% 的营收均来自广告业务。 Meta一名发言人表示,企业解决方案部门的核心工作,是协助企业客户顺利对接使用旗下 AI 工具,同时逐步梳理出可复用的执行方案与配套工具,让相关服务实现规模化落地。 该团队的运作模式,也顺应了科技行业的一大趋势:各大科技企业纷纷组建驻场工程师团队,深入对接客户,协助其将人工智能技术融入日常工作流程。谷歌云业务负责人托马斯・库里安本月早些时候称,谷歌也将新设驻场工程师团队。近几个月来,开放人工智能、安索皮克、英伟达等企业也都陆续推出了同类举措。 责任编辑:江学思
