Investing.com -- Bank of America reinstated coverage of two leading small modular reactor companies in notes on Friday, initiating a Buy rating on Oklo and a Neutral rating on NuScale Power, drawing a distinction between the two based on commercial traction and business model differentiation. In a note from analyst Rinny Singh, BofA said Oklo's vertically integrated build-own-operate model positions it as a potential early leader in the SMR sector. The firm set an $80 price target on Oklo, implying roughly 23% upside from current levels, pointing to a binding 1.2-gigawatt power agreement with Meta and a broader pipeline exceeding 14 gigawatts under non-binding customer letters as key indicators of demand. BofA expects Oklo to reach initial positive EBITDA by approximately 2030, with earnings ramping steeply to around $1.7 billion by fiscal 2035 as reactor deployments scale. On NuScale, BofA was more cautious. While acknowledging the company's first-mover regulatory advantage as the only SMR with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Standard Design Approval, the firm said "converting agreements to firm deals has been slower than anticipated" and flagged increasing cash burn and near-term funding risk. BofA set a $12 target on NuScale, saying it sees "limited near-term upside, with valuation already reflecting NuScale's technology leadership and its execution and financing challenges." BofA also noted that peers have increasingly secured hyperscaler-supported agreements, an area where NuScale "remains underexposed," as a key competitive disadvantage in the current environment.

Key Points Quantum computing pure plays like IonQ and Rigetti are showing their first real signals of infrastructure success and meaningful revenue. Tech giant Nvidia is focused not on making its own quantum computers, but on software and networking tools that will allow this new technology to integrate effectively with its traditional processors. Quantum computing stocks should be viewed as high-risk, long-term optional bets -- not core holdings -- because their upside potential is big, but the outcomes and timelines for all the competitors involved are highly uncertain. 10 stocks we like better than IonQ › When it comes to the tech sector, most of the market's attention (and capital) so far in 2026 has gone toward artificial intelligence (AI) -- the makers of chips, networking tools, the electricity to power them, and the data center operators that deploy them. Quantum computing has been more of an afterthought for years, mostly because the technology had not been developed to the point where it could do much that was genuinely useful. Still, some investors have bid up the pure-plays in the space based on speculation about its potential. That posture is starting to shift, though, and with both retail investors and some of the more disciplined institutional buyers and partners in the AI ecosystem showing enthusiasm. 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 » What changed with quantum computing The conversation around quantum computing is shifting gradually from theoretical breakthroughs to commercial traction. This year has brought some of the first clear signs that the technology is moving from research labs into mainstream computing infrastructure. One of the most concrete signals of this came from Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), which in March introduced CUDA-Q Realtime, a programming layer that l...

据媒体5月21日报道，超快时尚巨头Shein已达成协议，将以约1亿美元的价格收购美国可持续服装品牌Everlane。该交易已获得控股方L Catterton董事会的批准，为Shein在IPO屡屡受挫及关税压力背景下，通过收购困境资产来拓展品牌矩阵的又一重要举措。 Everlane成立于2011年，以极致透明为核心理念，曾被誉为可持续时尚的先驱，2020年估值高达6亿美元。然而近年来，品牌面临成本上升、竞争加剧及消费者理念转变等多重挑战，陷入财务困境，背负约9000万美元债务。其业绩增长停滞，迫使控股方寻求退出路径。 对Shein而言，此举被视为一石二鸟的阳谋。一方面，通过收购拥有良好声誉的品牌，Shein意在缓解自身在环境、劳工等问题上的舆论压力，为重启IPO铺路；另一方面，Shein希望借Everlane切入过去难以触达的中高端市场，并利用其高效的供应链和数据系统改造Everlane，实现降本增效。然而，该交易引发了巨大争议，被许多消费者和行业观察者视为对Everlane所代表价值观的背叛。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Longtime teammates, former rivals and others around the sports world have joined the wave of condolences over the sudden death of Nascar driver Kyle Busch on Thursday. Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion who was the winningest driver across the sport’s three series in history, died at 41 after being hospitalized earlier Thursday with a severe illness. No cause of death has been announced. “Absolutely cannot comprehend this news,” Denny Hamlin, a 22-year Nascar veteran and Busch’s former teammate, said on social media. “We just need to think of his family during this time. We love you KB.” “There aren’t really words for today. I’ve raced against Kyle for a long time, and anyone who’s lined up next to him knows exactly what made him special, he gave you everything he had, every single lap, and he made all of us better for it,” driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr said in a post. “But more than the wins and the records, I keep thinking about Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix, and the entire Busch family right now. That’s where my heart is. Rest easy, Rowdy. The sport won’t be the same without you.” Busch was in his fourth season at Richard Childress Racing. He ranked 24th in the Cup Series standings, with two top-10 finishes in 12 races this season, and had been the Cup Series champion in 2015 and 2019 with Joe Gibbs Racing. He won a Nascar Truck Series race at Dover International Speedway last week and was slated to compete in this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, North Carolina, before his family announced on Thursday he had been hospitalized. A polarizing figure known as “Rowdy” and “Wild Thing” for his feuds with other drivers, the Las Vegas native – whose brother Kurt was also a successful Nascar driver – stormed on the Cup Series scene in 2005 by winning rookie of the year. Dale Earnhardt Jr, an on-track rival after he took over Busch’s car after he departed Hendrick Motorsports in 2007 who later became a friend, called Busch one of the “greatest drivers in Nascar histor...

OpenAI于近日公布2026年第一季度财报，实现营收约57亿美元，较主要竞争对手Anthropic同期高出近10亿美元。增长主要由三方面驱动：编程助手Codex表现强劲、企业端销售持续增长，以及ChatGPT广告功能的初步探索。 在商业化方面，OpenAI于今年2月正式在美国测试ChatGPT广告功能，面向免费版及Go版用户开放。该功能根据用户聊天记录和对话主题推送相关性广告，并明确标注赞助内容。公司表示，此举旨在支撑免费服务的可持续运营，预计到2030年广告业务年收入可达约1020亿美元。 不过，亮眼营收背后隐忧并存。数据显示，公司一季度调整后运营利润率为-122%，意味着每创造1美元收入即亏损1.22美元。与此同时，ChatGPT周活跃用户约9.05亿，暂未达到此前设定的10亿目标。 值得注意的是，竞争对手Anthropic正在加速追赶。其近期年化收入已接近450亿美元，远超OpenAI在2月份披露的250亿美元年化水平。Anthropic预计二季度营收将翻倍至近110亿美元，并有望实现约6亿美元的运营利润。两家公司均在筹备最早于今年四季度启动IPO。 凭借一季度业绩，OpenAI从 亚马逊 、英伟达等供应商处获得了1220亿美元新融资，为下一步发展补充了资本。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Huxe, an app developed by former NotebookLM developers that let users put in a prompt and generate a podcast or a podcast series about a topic, is shutting down. The announcement comes a day after Spotify released a personal podcast feature that works similarly. The company said that it is removing the app from App Store and Play Store, and if users already have the app installed, it will work for seven days. After that, the company will delete all data related to users. The startup didn’t specify the reason behind the shutdown. “We’ve made the decision to wind down Huxe. The team is moving on to new things, and we won’t be continuing development of the product,” according to an email sent to customers. The consumer AI market is highly competitive, as often core products of startups turn into commoditized features of large companies. Podcast creation for knowledge is on a similar trajectory. After NotebookLM popularized the feature, other big companies like Adobe, Amazon, ElevenLabs, Meta, and now Spotify emulated the feature in a way. Google also released a separate feature to create podcasts based on your Discover feed. Huxe was started in late 2024 by former Google employees Raiza Martin, along with Jason Spielman and Stephen Hughes. The startup had raised $4.6 million in funding from Conviction, Genius Ventures, Figma CEO Dylan Field, and Google Research’s chief scientist Jeff Dean. Other startups, Achor co-founders and former Spotify execs’ app Oboe, and Sun, which is part of an a16z speedrun cohort, are attempting to build an audience for audio-focused learning. As AI models get better, they are able to convert one format to another, from text to audio, and audio to video. Companies that focus on only one kind of conversion modality for consumers might find it difficult to bring long-term usage and revenue to their apps. Because of AI, companies are shipping features fast and bringing their products to feature parity, which might affect some startups. In Huxe’...

Sundry Photography GF Securities (Hong Kong) said Nvidia ( NVDA ) is expected to focus on Vera Central Processing Units, or CPUs, while Intel ( INTC ) is anticipated to highlight its entry-level CPU Wildcat Lake at the COMPUTEX 2026 trade show in Taiwan from June 2. Analysts led by Evan Lee said that the rising Arm ( ARM )-based penetration will not cannibalize the x86 camp, as the overall Total Addressable Market, or TAM, is expanding rapidly enough. Therefore, the analysts expect Intel ( INTC ) (rated Buy), Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) (rated Buy), and Arm to all benefit from this agentic AI-driven growth. On the supply chain front, ABF substrates continue to be the key bottleneck, and the analysts view Kinsus as the main beneficiary due to its likely major share in Vera CPU’s substrate. On the other hand, the analysts expect IBIDEN and Unimicron to benefit from Intel’s expanding CPU volume. Nvidia "At the upcoming Nvidia’s Keynote on June 1st, we expect the company to highlight the Vera CPU systems purpose-built for Agentic AI, showcasing its superior inference capabilities by delivering up to 1.5x faster, 2x performance, and 4x density per rack vs x86 alternatives. For now, per our NVDA’s review report on May 21, based on OSATs’ CoWoS-R build estimates, we conservatively forecast Vera CPU shipments of 1.2m/4.2m units in FY27E/FY28E. That said, we expect its standalone rack solution to gain traction moving forward," said Lee and his team. The analysts noted that according to the Rubin Pod layout debuted at GTC, pairing two Vera CPU racks (256 CPUs) with 16 Rubin NVL72 racks (1152 GPUs and 576 CPUs) yields a nearly 1:1 GPU-to-CPU ratio (1152 Graphics Processing Units, or GPUs, and 1088 GPUs). The analysts added that Intel's CEO Li-Bu Tan said on May 19 that agentic/reinforced learning workflows could even drive this ratio to 1:4. Therefore, considering frontier models’ deployments (Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.5, GPT-5.5, etc.) amid surging agentic applications, th...

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) experienced significant positive share price movement today, largely driven by strategic company announcements and robust industry trends related to artificial intelligence. The company's CEO, Lisa Su, highlighted a substantial increase in demand for central processing units (CPUs), particularly fueled by AI inferencing and agentic AI workloads, which is positioning CPUs as critical components in data center computing once again. This unexpected surge in demand has led AMD to accelerate production and anticipate continued supply expansion throughout the current year and significantly into 2027 and beyond. Further bolstering investor confidence, AMD announced plans for a significant investment exceeding $10 billion within Taiwan's AI supply chain ecosystem. This strategic capital deployment aims to expand advanced chip manufacturing and packaging capabilities, alongside co-investments with partners to secure long-term production capacity extending at least through 2029. Concurrently, AMD confirmed that it has initiated the ramp-up of production for its next-generation Venice CPUs, utilizing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) advanced 2-nanometer process technology. The positive sentiment is also reflected in recent analyst forecasts, with multiple firms issuing increased price targets for AMD. The consensus among analysts indicates a "Buy" rating for the stock, with a strong proportion recommending a "Strong Buy," underscoring optimism regarding the company's long-term server CPU opportunities driven by AI. Moreover, AMD demonstrated strong market share gains in the server CPU segment during the first quarter of 2026, further solidifying its competitive position. These combined factors contribute to the positive intraday performance of the company's shares.

Atlanta, May 22, 2026 – The Central Libary of the Fulton County Public Library buzzed with anticipation as a capacity audience gathered for a special screening of A Chip Odyssey, presented by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Atlanta. At the film screening, Georgia Asian Times speaks with Director Hsiao Chu-Chen, who had flown in from New York en route from Taipei, for a wide-ranging conversation about the documentary, Taiwan's improbable technological rise. The film is Taiwan's first documentary to chronicle its five-decade ascent in the semiconductor industry. It had its genesis not in a boardroom pitch, but at a memorial service. In 2019, Director Hsiao was deeply moved by eulogies honoring semiconductor pioneer Hu Ding-Hwa, whose early engineers had traveled overseas on a national mission to acquire the technical knowledge that would ignite Taiwan's chip revolution. “I kept asking myself: what is the spirit at the core of this story?” Hsiao shared with Georgia Asian Times. That question drove five years of production and interviews with nearly 80 figures from across the industry. The answer, she concluded, was rooted in existential crisis. In the early 1970s, Taiwan found itself in a precarious position on the world stage. Taiwan was expelled from the United Nations and facing profound diplomatic isolation. It was in this climate of uncertainty that government ministers convened and made a bold, almost audacious decision: to wager Taiwan's economic future on the semiconductor industry, a field the island had virtually no experience in. “Taiwan had to find a way to keep existing in this world,” Hsiao said, recalling how official meeting minutes from the era used words like “betting” and “gambling” to describe the strategy. “That decision is why we have this story to tell fifty years later.” “Taiwan's semiconductor success wasn't stolen from anyone. It came from sacrifice, resolve, and a willingness to bet everything on an uncertain future,” Direct...

美国国家公路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)于5月21日公布， 特斯拉 将在美国召回14，575辆2025至2026款Model Y SUV，原因是这些车辆出厂时可能未安装符合联邦法规要求的重量认证标签。 根据NHTSA的说明，认证标签需标明车辆额定载重、自重等关键参数。缺失该标签可能导致车主无法获知车辆载重上限，存在无意中超载的风险。超载会影响车辆配重、制动性能及操控稳定性，增加高速行驶或变道时发生碰撞的可能性。截至目前，尚无因该问题导致的碰撞、死亡或受伤报告。 此次召回涉及两个生产时段：2024年11月17日至2025年2月24日生产的2025款Model Y，以及2025年2月25日至2026年4月21日生产的2026款Model Y。问题源于特斯拉弗里蒙特工厂一套自动视觉扫描工具在长达五个月的时间内执行不一致，未能确认每辆车上是否都贴有标签。公司已于4月17日发现该问题并修复设备，目前生产线上已增加人工双重检查环节。 与多数可通过软件更新修复的召回不同，此次问题需要车主将车辆送至服务中心进行检查并免费补装标签。特斯拉计划自7月17日起向车主邮寄召回通知。这并非特斯拉首次出现类似问题，2019年该公司曾因同样原因召回少量Model 3。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Palantir has accused Sadiq Khan of “putting politics above public safety” after the London mayor blocked its £50m contract with the Metropolitan police in a move that has also led to tensions inside Labour over its involvement with the US tech company. Louis Mosley, who heads Palantir in the UK and Europe, accused Khan of politicising procurement after he rejected a two-year deal for Scotland Yard to use AI to process intelligence in criminal investigations, as first revealed by the Guardian. Mosley said: “What Londoners value is not being mugged, not being raped by a serving police officer.” The Met had planned to hire Palantir, which was co-founded by the Trump-supporting tech billionaire Peter Thiel, to automate aspects of investigations. But the mayor’s office, which oversees large Scotland Yard contracts, said there had been a “clear and serious breach” of procurement rules. Palantir also works for the Israeli military and the Trump administration in its immigration crackdown. Khan has previously said Londoners only wanted to see public money being paid to companies that “share the values of our city”. Last year, when the company’s chief executive, Alex Karp, was challenged that “Palantir kills Palestinians” in Gaza, he said: “Mostly terrorists, that’s true.” Khan’s stance puts him at odds with the UK government which has a £330m NHS England deal with Palantir and a £240m deal with the Ministry of Defence. Scotland Yard said Khan’s move was “disappointing”, adding that without new technology it would have to cut officer numbers which would in turn affect the force’s ability to keep London safe. On Friday, Mosley told Times Radio: “What Londoners value is not being mugged, not being raped by a serving police officer and that’s really what the focus here should be … If we are going to politicise procurement in that way then we are going to compromise public safety”. His response drew an angry response from the Labour MP Stella Creasy, who said Mosley “should be a...

The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › If you're aiming to retire in 2035, you may be in an interesting place right now. It's too soon to begin the final countdown toward your workforce exit. And you don't want to prematurely check out mentally on the job. But it's also not too soon to start imagining what retired life looks like -- and how you'll pay for it. To that end, now's a good time to assess your retirement savings and make strategic portfolio decisions. With a little under a decade to go, you have opportunities to make meaningful changes that could set you up for success. Here are some key moves to consider if you're about nine years away from retirement. 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 » 1. Shift your focus from growth to balance When you're in the process of accumulating retirement wealth, it's important to invest somewhat aggressively to grow your IRA or 401(k). But as retirement gets closer, your focus should be less growth-oriented and more centered on striking a good balance in your portfolio. That doesn't mean you should start dumping stocks left and right. What it means is that in the coming years, it's wise to start shifting away from stocks and leaning toward stable assets like bonds that can generate returns for your portfolio without exposing you to undue risk. That shift can be gradual, though. And with nine years, you have plenty of time to do it slowly and mindfully. 2. Take advantage of catch-up contributions Once you turn 50, you're eligible to make catch-up contributions in an IRA or 401(k) plan.

Norway’s $2.3 trillion wealth fund expressed dissatisfaction with the reappointment of John Elkann , chairman of Stellantis NV and chief executive of investor Exor NV, on the board of directors at Meta Platforms Inc . The Norwegian investor withheld a vote on Elkann’s appointment, indicating it believes the executive won’t have enough time to devote to matters at Meta, according to voting intentions posted on its website on Friday ahead of Meta’s annual general meeting on May 27. Elkann, 50, attended at least 70% of board meetings at Meta in 2025, with his absences “due to unavoidable conflicts,” Meta said in the shareholder meeting documents. All other board members attended at least 75% of meetings, with the exception of Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White , whose attendance matched Elkann’s, according to Meta. “Board members should devote sufficient time to fulfill their responsibilities effectively,” Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages the fund, said. “Board members should contribute to effective discussions and decision-making by attending all meetings.” NBIM declined to comment beyond its published voting intentions. Meta representatives and Elkann were not immediately available for comment.
