This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Tesla (TSLA, Financials) got a needed lift in Europe in April as more drivers turned to electric vehicles. New car registrations in the European Union rose 5.1% from a year earlier to 972,314 vehicles. The stronger part of the market was electric cars, where sales jumped 37.7%. Tesla's numbers improved sharply. The company registered 9,169 vehicles in the EU, up 67.2% from last year. Its market share also rose to 0.9% from 0.6%. That is a welcome sign for Tesla after a tougher stretch in Europe, where local and Chinese rivals have been fighting hard for buyers. Chinese brands are still moving fast. BYD more than doubled its April sales, while Chery nearly quadrupled registrations. SAIC, the owner of MG, also posted growth. For investors, the April data shows Europe's EV market is still expanding. The bigger question is whether Tesla can keep its rebound going as Chinese automakers continue to gain ground. The next few months will show whether April was a real recovery or just a short-term bounce.

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) remained under pressure on Wednesday, extending recent losses despite blockbuster earnings and an aggressive long-term expansion plan tied to Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem. The stock fell around 2% to roughly $211.26 in early trading after closing lower Tuesday for its third consecutive losing session. The weakness came even after Nvidia once again delivered results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and reinforced its dominant position at the center of the artificial intelligence boom. According to FactSet data, Nvidia has now surpassed analyst expectations on both revenue and operating income for 14 consecutive quarters. The company reported first-quarter revenue growth of 85% year-over-year and guided for even faster expansion in the current quarter. Still, investors appeared reluctant to aggressively chase the stock higher following its enormous multi-year rally and market capitalization above $5 trillion. Nvidia doubles down on Taiwan Chief executive Jensen Huang attempted to reinforce Nvidia’s long-term AI infrastructure ambitions during an event in Taipei marking the launch of the company’s new Taiwan campus. Huang said Nvidia plans to spend as much as $150 billion annually with Taiwanese suppliers, up from roughly $100 billion currently. He did not specify a timeline for the increase. The announcement highlighted Nvidia’s deepening reliance on Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem, particularly its relationship with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Nvidia’s most critical manufacturing partner. Huang is in Taiwan ahead of Computex, the island’s flagship technology conference that has increasingly become a showcase for global AI infrastructure development. Nvidia’s spending commitment also arrives amid growing geopolitical concerns surrounding Taiwan and the global semiconductor supply chain. Those concerns intensified after Donald Trump recently suggested a pending $14 billion US arms package for Taiwan could potentially b...

Artificial intelligence has turned the memory-chip market into one of the most explosive trades on Wall Street. Two memory chipmakers crossed the $1-trillion valuation line this week. Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) got there first on Tuesday. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) ‘s largest memory supplier, the South Korean giant SK Hynix Inc., followed on Wednesday. Both stocks have delivered extraordinary returns during the AI infrastructure boom. Yet the rivalry between Micron and SK Hynix is becoming increasingly direct — and increasingly important for investors trying to identify the dominant memory winner of the AI era. Why Micron vs. SK Hynix? For years, memory chips were viewed as a highly cyclical commodity business. AI changed that. The explosion in demand for Nvidia's AI accelerators created an unprecedented shortage in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips — the ultra-fast memory stacked next to GPUs powering large language models and hyperscaler AI infrastructure. Think of it as the chip’s short-term workbench. An Nvidia accelerator can only run as fast as it can pull data off that workbench, so HBM, not raw processing power, is increasingly the part that decides how fast an AI server runs. Every hyperscaler building large-language-model infrastructure now depends on securing enough advanced memory to pair with Nvidia GPUs. That dynamic transformed memory from a traditionally cyclical commodity business into one of the highest-margin and fastest-growing segments in semiconductors. Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics effectively form the "Big Three" of the global memory market. But unlike Samsung — whose operations span smartphones, consumer electronics and foundries — Micron and SK hynix are much more concentrated pure-play memory bets. That makes their rivalry far more direct. The two companies compete head-to-head across DRAM, NAND flash, AI server memory, hyperscaler supply agreements and the next generation of HBM products including HBM3E and HBM4. Micron...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) is facing fresh attention after Taiwan opened a probe into whether some AI servers using its chips were secretly shipped to China. Bloomberg reported that three people were detained in Taiwan over claims they falsified export documents tied to Super Micro servers. Those servers reportedly contained advanced Nvidia chips, which are restricted from being sold to China under U.S. rules. Investigators believe at least one shipment may have already passed through Taiwan customs before authorities moved in. The case shows how hard it is to control the flow of AI hardware. Nvidia chips remain in huge demand, and that demand creates pressure across the supply chain. It also comes after CEO Jensen Huang urged partners to tighten compliance. For Nvidia, the concern is not weak demand. The concern is whether partners can follow export rules as governments increase scrutiny. Investors will now watch whether this remains a limited case or becomes part of a wider investigation into AI chip shipments.

Palestinians use recycling as Israel's restrictions trigger a trash crisis toggle caption Eleanor Beardsley/NPR RAMALLAH, West Bank - In a dimly-lit cement block warehouse near the West Bank city of Ramallah, the start-up dreams of two young entrepreneurs are beginning to take shape. Several machines hum away as they sort, wash, dry, shred and melt plastic garbage – spitting it out as recycled pellets to be used again. "From waste plastic to raw material again," explains mechanical engineer Ibrahim Ghazal, who sifts through a handful of pellets from a bag weighing several tons. Ghazal is one of the co-founders of this start-up recycling operation called Scrapcycle Solutions. toggle caption Eleanor Beardsley/for NPR Friends since childhood, Ghazal and his business partner Faris Abu Keshek got the idea for the recycling startup after the war in Gaza started and life in this occupied Palestinian territory got a lot more difficult. Sponsor Message The tens of thousands of West Bank Palestinians who worked in Israel before the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel are no longer allowed to cross into the Jewish state. And checkpoints and controls on movement within the West Bank itself have proliferated. The Israeli military has installed massive concrete and metal gates around Palestinian villages to close them off whenever it deems necessary, and hundreds of new checkpoints have been put in place. toggle caption Eleanor Beardsley/NPR The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs documented 925 checkpoints, barriers or roadblocks across the West Bank at the end of 2025. Some 43% more than in the preceding 20 years, it said. Stray dogs and smoldering piles of trash toggle caption Eleanor Beardsley/NPR The heightened restrictions on movement make every aspect of life more difficult for the 3.4 million Palestinians living in the West Bank, in particular the collection and disposal of garbage. Palestinians are now living among waste as ...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) is now close enough to the $1 trillion club that investors are starting to ask what it would take to get there. The answer is still a bigger stock move. AMD recently traded around $493.65, giving it a market value near $805 billion. To reach $1 trillion, the stock would need to rise to about $613.50. That sounds like a stretch, but AMD has already surprised investors this year. Demand for chips used in AI data centers has pushed the stock sharply higher, and the company is now seen as one of the main challengers to Nvidia. Not everyone on Wall Street thinks the jump will happen quickly. The average analyst target sits below the current price, showing some caution after the rally. Still, Baird analyst Tristan Gerra is more upbeat. His $625 target would put AMD above the $1 trillion mark, helped by demand for chips used in agentic AI. For investors, the question is whether AMD can turn AI excitement into real revenue, better margins and lasting market share gains.
