The momentum extended into Wednesday premarket trading, where Micron shares climbed to fresh 52-week highs after soaring 19.29% in the previous session, underscoring the market's aggressive bullish positioning around AI-driven memory demand. AI Memory Boom Drives Micron's Historic Rally Micron shares jumped as much as 19% after UBS raised its price forecast to a Street-high $1,625 from $535, implying a potential market value of roughly $1.8 trillion. UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri said AI is reshaping the memory-chip industry and driving a structural re-rating for Micron, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Arcuri, who has maintained a buy rating on Micron Technology since early 2020, said hyperscalers are increasingly willing to trade pricing concessions for long-term supply commitments and better visibility into future deployment costs. B. Riley Wealth chief market strategist Art Hogan said Micron sits "at the center" of the explosive growth in memory demand tied to AI data centers and next-generation computing workloads, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Micron Earnings & Analyst Outlook Looking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the June 24, 2026 (estimated) earnings report.

Hanizam/iStock via Getty Images I like private equity. I like the logic behind this type of investment, and I like it as an alternative part of the portfolio. I also really like the logic of compounding, and KKR & Co. ( KKR ) manages to deliver this very well: high exposure to private equity, but with a lot of diversification across other asset classes, a complete ecosystem with wide moats, and a very reasonable valuation. This is the type of case where, even if there are some risks, when bought at the right valuation, it ends up becoming a more predictable investment, compounding over time with an interesting IRR. Besides that, the icing on the cake in the KKR thesis is precisely the comparison with peers, since it seems to me to be very well positioned and still with a more attractive valuation. KKR: A Compounder, An Ecosystem, A Wide Moat Company The first thing to say about KKR, in my view, has to be regarding the assets. It has $757 billion in assets under management very well distributed across several asset classes. Traditional private equity is 40%, which, together with the growth equity part, already represents more than 50% of the entire portfolio. But the company also has exposure to 16% real estate, 12% credit, and the rest in others such as infrastructure. So even though it is an aggressive portfolio and very dependent on private equity, the other categories help with balance. For instance, even though real estate and credit are also affected by cycles, they end up bringing a different cash flow and cyclicality from equity. KKR Presentation It is worth noting in the image above that KKR also has a very interesting balance sheet profile. The rating is interesting, the interest on the debt is very low, and the cash position is super healthy. But of course, one of the most important points of this type of business is the track record. Even though there are moats - which I will detail in the next paragraphs - there is still a very large weight of culture an...

By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS, May 27 (Reuters) - Non-European satellite operators such as Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon's low-earth-orbit business can bid for mobile satellite spectrum, the European Commission said on Wednesday, leaving the door open to U.S. companies while also decreasing the share of spectrum they will be able to acquire. The EU is pushing to boost the bloc's tech sovereignty by promoting European companies, driven by concerns over China's technological rise and the dominance of U.S. tech giants at a time of transatlantic tensions. But the push has been marked by internal divisions at the Commission, with some wanting to be more aggressive and others wanting a more gradual line. Two thirds of the available spectrum will be divided equally between EU and non-EU operators for commercial use, the EU executive said, confirming a Reuters report. The move is a compromise after at least one commissioner wanted to exclude U.S. operators. The remaining third will be reserved for state use such as security and military, which will be provided by an EU operator that will integrate the capability with the EU's IRIS2 multi-orbit array of 290 satellites, the Commission said. IRIS2 is Europe's response to Starlink. The EU executive said its decision aims to allow new operators into the market and that under a transitional period, licenses held by U.S. companies Viasat and EchoStar will be extended for two more years from their current expiry in May 2027. The 2 GHz frequency band in question is ideal for direct services allowing users to bypass telecoms providers and also for providing critical communication capabilities and ensuring access to high-speed internet in remote areas. "We want to boost Europe's competitiveness. We want to strengthen Europe's security. We want to embrace new technological possibilities. And all of this by taking into account the current changing geopolitical context," EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said at a press conferen...

Hong Kong authorities have evicted more residents from a village in the New Territories to make way for the Northern Metropolis megaproject, with one family complaining they only received the notice to move out last month. Dozens of police officers, Lands Department staff members, security guards and workers from the contractors gathered at Yik Yuen Tsuen in Tuen Mun’s Lam Tei on Wednesday morning. They used barriers to block passageways leading to some village houses, with a few officers stationed at the entrances. Advertisement Taylor Li and his family were among the villagers bidding farewell to their homes. Li said he was born and raised in the village, where his parents had settled in 1985. They had been preparing to move out since April, when they were notified to leave in mid-May, he said. Advertisement “The government first mentioned taking back the area roughly 10 years ago. But it never gave us an exact move-out date until last month. We didn’t even know if we should fix our water leakage issues or change our electrical appliances because authorities dragged the process on for so long,” Li, who is in his thirties, said.

Investec became the latest South African bank to issue loss-absorbing debt as local lenders work to comply with the new central bank framework. Its South Africa unit has issued 700 million rand ($43 million) through the new instruments that are known as funding for loss-absorbing capacity, or FLAC, notes. They have a legal maturity of six years but are redeemable after five at Investec’s election, the lender said. The notes were issued via private placements with South African institutional investors, Investec South Africa Treasurer Laurence Adams said in response to questions from Bloomberg. The issue was benchmarked to Zaronia, the reference rate for short-term financial contracts that the central bank is introducing to replace the Johannesburg interbank average rate by year-end. The issuance forms part of South Africa’s new regime that requires systemically important lenders to build a buffer of debt that can be written down or converted to equity if they run into trouble. South Africa’s biggest lenders have already raised $322 million in the new loss-absorbing debt. Standard Bank Group Ltd. was the first to issue the new instruments, selling 2 billion rand of FLAC notes across four tranches, while Absa Group Ltd. raised 3.2 billion rand. Read more: South Africa Banks Raise $322 Million in Debut Rescue-Debt Issue The new framework aligns with global post-2008 reforms aimed at ensuring banking issues can be resolved without resorting to taxpayer bailouts. The central bank estimated in 2024 that the country’s six largest lenders may need to raise as much as 360 billion rand by 2030 to meet the requirements, with lenders expected to have at least 60% of that amount in place by the end of 2027. “Investec’s full FLAC requirement is 20 billion rand to 30 billion rand,” Adams said. “The bank will link timing of issuances with funding requirements, as modeled within our internally approved capital-markets funding plan.

Fasai Budkaew/iStock via Getty Images Currently, I am putting more capital into two high-yielding sectors (energy midstream ( MLPX ) and infrastructure ( IGF )) than anywhere else, because I believe they provide the best risk-adjusted income opportunities in the market today. Both of these sectors are benefiting from long-term macro tailwinds while also benefiting from recent macroeconomic shocks. In this article, I'm going to detail why I'm investing so aggressively in midstream and infrastructure and what some of my favorite picks are in these sectors. Infrastructure's Golden Age Has Barely Begun BlackRock, Inc. ( BLK ) CEO Larry Fink stated that he believes infrastructure is just at the beginning of a golden age due to massive unmet infrastructure needs due to factors like aging power grids, rapid increases in digitization, and a desire to decarbonize much of the global energy grid. Additionally, the AI revolution, which appears to be just ramping up and is poised to fundamentally alter the global economy, requires a massive amount of new investment in data centers, as well as massive upgrades to existing energy networks and grid reliability. In fact, U.S. power demand is expected to grow by close to 50% by 2040 from current levels. The massive growth in AI data centers, which already account for about 4.4% of U.S. electricity consumption as of 2023, is expected to reach between 7% and 12% by 2028. Moreover, grid power demand for data centers is expected to nearly triple by 2030. Additionally, natural gas demand tied to data centers is expected to grow to a point where total power sector gas consumption will increase by 15%, purely due to AI data center-driven demand growth. Meanwhile, major tech giants like Alphabet Inc. ( GOOG , GOOGL ), Meta Platforms, Inc. ( META ), Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ), and Microsoft Corporation ( MSFT ) are expected to spend around three-quarters of a trillion dollars on AI-related CapEx this year alone, and that is expected to grow co...
