Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang , speaking days after he joined President Donald Trump ’s summit in China, said he expects Chinese authorities will eventually allow the import of artificial intelligence chips from the US. “The Chinese government has to decide how much of their local market do they want to protect,” Huang said in an interview Monday with Bloomberg Television. “My sense is that over time the market will open.” The Nvidia chief was a last-minute addition to the delegation of American business leaders for Trump’s high-stakes meetings in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping . Huang’s presence on the trip stirred speculation among investors and China hawks in Washington that Nvidia might achieve a breakthrough on shipping AI chips to the world’s second-largest economy. Read More: Trump Says He Discussed AI Guardrails, Nvidia’s Chips With Xi Huang said he didn’t discuss directly with Chinese officials the company’s effort to sell its H200 AI chips to customers in China, though he acknowledged that the topic came up during discussions between officials from both sides. “President Trump had some conversations with the leaders and I’m looking forward to what they decide,” Huang said. On Friday, after his return to Washington, Trump said that Nvidia’s H200 chips “did come up, and I think something could happen on that,” without elaborating further. The president added that China hasn’t approved purchases of the H200 chips “because they chose not to, they want to develop their own.” Trump agreed in December to allow Nvidia to ship its H200 AI chips to Chinese customers, a decision that marked a significant easing of measures aimed at restraining China’s growth in AI. Since then, the US Commerce Department has granted licenses to clear the way for those sales. Yet officials in Beijing have held up purchases by companies in China, owing in part to their desire to achieve self-sufficiency in semiconductors and boost domestic champions like Huaw...

designer491/iStock via Getty Images James River Group Holdings ( JRVR ) rose 3% as a holder changed from a passive holder to a more activist stake with a 13D filing on Monday. Zimmer Partners, which has a 10% stake and is the 3rd largest holder, said it has begun to discuss or may in future talk with management about the elimination of the common dividend, and suspension of the preferred dividend, use of excess cash to pay down debt, a potential private placement of equity securities, other changes to the the company's operations and reduction of expenses, offerings of securities, and proposing or responding to a potential strategic transaction, according to a 13D filing. "The 13G-to-13D conversion is a clear escalation by Zimmer, whose explicit demand list (dividend elimination, preferred suspension, debt reduction, strategic alternatives) reads as a roadmap toward either a forced capital restructuring or a renewed sale process," Wedbush analyst Michael Piccolo wrote in a note on Monday. The call for a strategic review comes after James River ( JRVR ) started a review in 2023, though ended without any deal in 2024. "With JRVR trading at ~0.5x tangible book value and the prior strategic review having attracted interest from Everest Group, Ltd. ( EG ), Arch Capital Group, Ltd. ( ACGL ), and Global Indemnity Group, LLC ( GBLI ), a re-opened process is plausible," Piccolo added.

US regulators are poised to unveil as soon as this week a plan that would overhaul how examiners secretly rate banks, according to people familiar with the matter, a move likely to be cheered by lenders. The plan would reshape the framework known as CAMELS that examiners use to grade banks on capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. Those grades create an overall rating that determines the degree of scrutiny a financial institution faces, the activities it can engage in and how much capital it has to hold. Under the proposal, examiners would focus on a lender’s financial condition and any material risks tied to it rather than what some argue are more subjective issues, according to people familiar with the matter who asked to speak anonymously to discuss private plans. Trump-era regulators are aiming to refine the “management” component of the framework, the people said. The Bank Policy Institute, an industry trade group, has said that category is “where immaterial and non-financial issues like ‘reputational’ risk can manifest themselves.” Read More: Secret Bank Ratings Show US Regulator’s Concern on Handling Risk The plan, which will be subject to public comment, would be the latest effort by an interagency panel known as the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman leads the body, which includes representatives from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. , the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency , the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the National Credit Union Administration . Spokespeople for the OCC, CFPB and NCUA didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The Fed and FDIC declined to comment. Bowman flagged potential changes to these ratings in January. Officials have already taken steps to reshape bank oversight over the past year, including making it easier for large lenders to get a “well managed” rating, relaxing some capital ...

Mexico signed an agreement to send a floating gas power plant to the Yucatan peninsula, the latest in a series of private partnerships aiming to boost electricity generation and shore up the nation’s grid against seasonal blackouts. Turkish energy fleet owner Karpowership and Mexico’s grid operator Centro Nacional de Control de Energía, or CENACE, signed a deal to deploy the floating power plant alongside a liquefied natural gas terminal ship, according to a document seen by Bloomberg. The project will add 250 megawatts of generation to Mexico’s 90-gigawatt-capacity grid that can be tapped during peak demand times over the next three years, the document showed. The floating power plant, a ship that will be fueled by another vessel outfitted as an LNG terminal, will arrive in Mexico in the coming weeks and begin operation after coordination with Mexican authorities, according to the document, which didn’t disclose a dollar amount for the deal. Mexico’s energy ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment. The Yucatan peninsula, one of Mexico’s largest tourist hubs, is among the country’s fastest growing markets for electricity, with demand expected to grow by 3.8% annually, according to Mexico’s National Electric System Development Program, or PRODESEN. The region including vacation spots such as Cancun has historically suffered from seasonal blackouts during peak demand times, as the government seeks to build new infrastructure to boost gas-fired electricity generation capacity there. The partnership comes amid a slew of other joint ventures in power generation , pipelines and renewables as President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks to attract private capital back into Mexico’s energy sector. The government is planning to offer tender proposals for the majority of its new energy ventures this year and is seeking to increase public and private investment by 34% compared with 2025, Energy Minister Luz Elena Gonzalez said last week. Karpowership currently operates in Ecuador...

Investors may want to rethink how they are structuring their 60/40 portfolios.

Investors may want to rethink how they are structuring their 60/40 portfolios. The role of a traditional allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds has been the subject of debate in recent years, particularly after its dismal performance in 2022 when stocks and bonds saw their prices decline in tandem. While some still call the 60/40 a good place to start, others advocate for adding in more portfolio diversifiers . The "total portfolio approach," or TPA, doesn't abandon the framework of the 60/40, but instead buckets the assets by risk, explained Jason Kephart, senior principal of multi-asset manager research for Morningstar. It's an approach that was adopted by the California Public Employees' Retirement System in November, when it became the first United States pension fund to do so. The idea is that investors know exactly what they expect from their assets, Kephart said. "Start thinking about really what the goal of using the exact asset classes in a portfolio is — is something there to help you grow your assets, something there to help you protect your assets, something there for inflation protection?" he said. "It's the same tools you'd use to build a portfolio, but just coming at it from a different lens." While "total portfolio approach" portfolios built by large institutional asset owners can be complex, investors can take a simplified approach by separating investments into two sleeves: growth and stability, Kephart said. How it works This approach isn't necessarily about boosting returns. Instead, it is for those who want to find a "Goldilocks" zone between returns and risk. The growth sleeve holds stocks, but it can also be a place for high-yield bonds and private credit — which would normally fall under the fixed-income bucket. That's because the growth sleeve holds assets that have risk and whose returns are closely linked to economic growth. "When you take on real credit risk, you're introducing more economic risk," Kephart said. The stocks are also affect...

SweetBunFactory/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ( TSEM ) was one of my better-performing picks, as it is up almost 70% since my coverage. Yet the stock continues to climb upwards with little downside, which is slightly unusual compared to other photonics plays such as Applied Optoelectronics ( AAOI ) or Sivers Semiconductors ( SIVEF ). Data by YCharts This makes it harder to buy the stock during a meaningful pullback. Fortunately, I still believe TSEM is a Buy today, though more caution is warranted as the thesis continues to play out and some of the re-rating has already occurred. Earnings On May 13, TSEM released their Q1 2026 earnings . The quarter was strong across the board. Revenue came in at $414M, up 15% YoY from $358M, and slightly ahead of expectations. Net profit increased 62% YoY to $65M, while net margin expanded to 16% from 11% in Q1 2025. Diluted EPS was $0.57, up 63% YoY, and also came in ahead of expectations. The bigger point, however, was not just Q1. Management guided Q2 revenue to $455M at the midpoint, which would be the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history, up 22% YoY and 10% QoQ. They also reiterated their expectation for QoQ revenue and margin growth throughout 2026. SA Management commentary was even more important than the headline numbers. Silicon Photonics revenue grew 3x YoY, and all major technology offerings grew YoY as well, with imagers up 9%, RFSOI up 12%, power management up 10%, and silicon germanium up 24%. This matters because the thesis is not only about one quarter of strong revenue growth but also about Tower moving into a much stronger product mix. The most important data point was the $1.3B of contractual 2027 SiPho revenue, backed by roughly $290M in customer prepayments. Management clarified that this $1.3B is for wafer shipments in 2027, not wafer starts, and that it does not represent the full demand from those customers. They also noted that larger contracts exist for 2028. T...
