This article first appeared on GuruFocus. SpaceX has picked Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) to lead what could be a record-setting public offering, according to multiple media reports citing the company's preliminary prospectus. SpaceX is also expected to have Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) as a lead bank. SpaceX's filing lists Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (C), and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) in alphabetical order, suggesting a broad banking group behind the deal. The company could release its prospectus as soon as Wednesday after filing confidentially with the SEC last month. SpaceX was valued at $1.25 trillion in February after Elon Musk combined the aerospace company with xAI, his artificial intelligence startup. The move put SpaceX in position to reach public markets ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic, which private investors currently value at close to $1 trillion each. For Elon Musk, a SpaceX listing would mark his first IPO since Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) went public in 2010. Goldman Sachs also led that offering, with support from Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and Deutsche Bank.

Most investors still think of S&P Global (SPGI +1.37%) as a credit ratings company. That's not wrong, but they may be missing the bigger story. Over the past decade, S&P Global has quietly evolved into something much more powerful: a financial infrastructure platform embedded across debt markets, passive investing, commodities, enterprise analytics, and institutional risk management. And right now, several long-term trends appear to be strengthening that ecosystem. That is why the company may deserve far more investor attention today. S&P Global operates one of the strongest business models in finance. At its core, S&P Global benefits from a simple but powerful dynamic: The global financial system increasingly runs through its platforms, benchmarks, and data infrastructure. Its ratings division remains one of the company's crown jewels. Whenever corporations or governments issue bonds, investors typically require trusted third-party credit assessments to evaluate risk. That gives S&P Global an important role in global capital markets. This business becomes difficult to disrupt once embedded into regulations, investment mandates, and institutional workflows. But ratings are only one piece of the story. Through S&P Dow Jones indexes, the company also sits behind some of the world's most important benchmarks, including the S&P 500. Every time investors buy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or index funds tied to those benchmarks, S&P Global earns licensing revenue. This creates an extremely attractive model. The company does not need to manufacture products or deploy massive amounts of capital to grow. As passive investing expands globally, more money naturally flows through S&P's index ecosystem. The same pattern appears across other parts of the business. Financial institutions, energy companies, traders, and corporations increasingly depend on S&P Global's analytics and enterprise data platforms to navigate more complex markets. In many ways, the company is gradually bec...

Meta slashes 8,000 jobs as it pivots towards AI toggle caption Jeff Chiu/AP Stay up to date with our Up First newsletter sent every weekday morning. The tech company Meta kicked off a sweeping reorganization on Wednesday that will shrink its workforce and accelerate a pivot toward artificial intelligence. In an internal memo last month, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp said it would lay off around 10% of its workforce — or about 8,000 people — in May. Company spokesperson Erica Sackin on Wednesday confirmed to NPR that those affected employees have been notified. Sponsor Message Another 7,000 Meta employees will see their roles change as part of the AI pivot, according to a source familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly about the topic. "To focus more on AI they are moving 7,000 people to teams that focus on AI projects," the person said. Sackin declined to comment on what teams were growing or shrinking as a result of the shakeup. The re-assignments were first reported by Reuters, which cited an internal memo saying the employees would be shifted to four new teams building AI tools and apps. NPR has not independently verified the contents of that report. Meta and other big tech companies have been placing huge bets on artificial intelligence, luring talent with giant pay packages and building multibillion dollar data centers to try to win the AI race — one in which Meta lags behind competitors such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. In January, Meta forecast capital expenditures this year that are almost double what it spent last year. Meta's reorganization is part of a string of announcements across the tech sector in recent months of job cuts amid intensified focus and spending on AI. It also comes in the middle of a rough stretch for the company. It has been pulling back from the virtual reality "Metaverse" that CEO Mark Zuckerberg touted as the company's future when he launched it in 2021.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) is pushing deeper into consumer AI, but its latest showcase may have raised as many questions as it answered. At Google's developer conference near Mountain View, CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted the company's reach, noting that 13 Google services now have more than a billion users, while five have more than 3 billion. That scale gives Google a major AI advantage, because its biggest products attract not only massive audiences but also personal and real-world data that rivals may struggle to match. The problem is that Google's AI rollout is starting to feel crowded. The company announced what it called the biggest overhaul of the Search box interface in 25 years, shifting some queries away from the traditional list of links toward AI-powered interactive experiences, follow-up conversations, mini apps and information agents that can search on users' behalf. Google also introduced Gmail Live, Docs Live, Gemini Spark, a new Mac app with agent capabilities, Google Stitch updates, agent tools inside Google Antigravity, Google Pics, Google Flow and Google Flow Music. The ambition is obvious, but the risk is that consumers could possibly feel overwhelmed by too many overlapping AI tools, confusing branding and unclear pricing. For investors, the key issue is not whether Alphabet has the assets to compete in AI. The company has the engineering talent, capital, hardware and user base to remain strongly positioned. The concern is focus. Alphabet shares fell just more than 2% on the day, suggesting investors may have been less impressed by the presentation or possibly disappointed by the lack of a sharper headline moment. Google's AI strategy could strengthen its ecosystem over time, but if the company moves too fast across too many products, it may also risk user frustration and the kind of scrutiny Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has faced with Copilot.

Innodata (INOD) might be one of the most polarizing artificial intelligence stocks out there. But it could also be one of the biggest winners over the next decade. Our previous analysis, Why Innodata Is Structured For A 10x Run, framed its 10x potential on macro financials, but long-term conviction requires looking under the hood. This analysis moves past financial reporting to dissect the core engines powering Innodata’s expansion: its hyper-concentrated customer profiles, its push for an algorithmic moat in the AI supply chain, and the structural ROI it aims to deliver to Big Tech hyperscalers. Image by Pexels from Pixabay Who Is The Customer? Innodata functions as an outsourced data engineering arm for creators of foundational large language models (LLMs). The company splits its market into two main areas. First are the Big Tech hyperscalers, which serve as the primary growth engine. Innodata currently services eight of the top tech giants, including five of the absolute largest technology platforms. [ ] The revenue scale here is massive. Driven by this momentum, a newly announced 2026 engagement is projected to bring in $51 million this year alone. [ ] Second are specialized enterprise verticals. This segment targets high-liability industries that require exact, reliable data solutions, such as legal, financial, and medical organizations. What’s The Pricing? Innodata traditionally bills through time-and-materials with revenue tied to the volume of data delivered or resources deployed in a given period. Fixed-fee milestone agreements exist but represent a smaller share of revenue. Unlike SaaS businesses, there is no recurring subscription layer; clients pay for what gets produced. The underlying value proposition rests on the quality of that production: credentialed domain experts in fields like law, medicine, and software engineering, rather than lower-cost crowd annotators. A new software-driven layer is expanding this model. In Q1 2026, Innodata consolidated i...

Turning to the Wall Street , 22 analysts have given the stock a Buy or above rating. 12 gave the stock hold recommendation, while two gave Sell or lower rating to COST. “While it’s very possible the stock will remain chugging higher, I believe COST is highly susceptible for a pullback on even the slightest miss or underperformance relative to expectations,” pointed out a recent Seeking Alpha analysis.

The Trump administration yesterday sued Minnesota in an attempt to block the first state law that prohibits prediction markets. While other states imposed restrictions on prediction markets, Minnesota banned them outright in a law signed by Gov. Tim Walz on Monday. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced a lawsuit against the state, saying that Minnesota's "new legislation represents the most aggressive move by a state to shut down CFTC-regulated markets and undermine the federal regulatory regime set up by Congress more than 50 years ago." “This Minnesota law turns lawful operators and participants in prediction markets into felons overnight,” CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said. “Minnesota farmers have relied on critical hedging products on weather and crop-related events for decades to mitigate their risks. Governor Walz chose to put special interests first and American farmers and innovators last.” Read full article Comments

The Williams Companies (WMB 2.20%) isn't usually considered a high-growth stock. But over the past five years, the midstream company's stock has more than tripled. If we include its reinvested dividends, it delivered a total return of more than 280%. Let's see why Williams' stock skyrocketed -- and why buying it today could be the best financial decision you ever make. What sets Williams apart from other midstream companies? Williams operates more than 33,000 miles of pipeline in the United States. Like other midstream companies, the company is well insulated from volatile commodity prices because it simply charges upstream and downstream companies "tolls" for using its infrastructure. But unlike many other midstream companies, which transport natural gas, crude oil, and other products through their pipelines, Williams primarily handles natural gas through its Transco pipeline system -- which runs from Texas to the Eastern Seaboard. That natural gas "superhighway" transports roughly 30% of the country's natural gas production. The construction of new AI-oriented data centers, coal-to-gas conversion facilities, and reshored manufacturing facilities -- as well as population growth in the Southeast states and rising liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports -- have all been driving more gas through its pipelines. Expand NYSE : WMB Williams Companies Today's Change ( -2.20 %) $ -1.75 Current Price $ 77.65 Key Data Points Market Cap $97B Day's Range $ 77.61 - $ 80.06 52wk Range $ 55.82 - $ 80.06 Volume 289K Avg Vol 6.4M Gross Margin 43.17 % Dividend Yield 2.55 % Williams also builds "behind the meter" (BTM) sites at data centers to provide hyperscalers with a stable flow of natural gas while bypassing traditional utilities. That approach makes it more of a play on the booming AI, cloud, and data center markets than many of its midstream peers. That's why its year-end backlog rose from $11.8 billion in 2024 to $15.5 billion in 2025. It also recently announced three new projects...

A group of aviation and telecommunication experts, including former staffers from Surf Air Mobility , xAI , and SpaceX , are forming a blank check company that will seek to take a space company public, as Wall Street chases the industry. Futurecorp Space Acquisition 1 is seeking to raise $200 million in an initial public offering, and expects to target businesses in space manufacturing, launch platforms, and defense investments, according to a filing Tuesday. Special purpose acquisition companies raise funds by listing on an exchange, then find a private company to merge with and take it public. The listing plan comes as Elon Musk readies SpaceX for potentially the largest IPO ever, delivering gains to early investors and employees who are looking for the next big bet. The stock market is also primed to welcome space exploration companies, which have evolved from a niche area to a growth industry. Shares of existing space stocks have soared this year in anticipation of SpaceX’s public filing , which could come as soon as Wednesday.

Vale S.A. ( VALE ) shares were on track to snap their losses on Wednesday after six straight sessions of closing in the red. The stock rose 1.94% to $16.32. The Brazilian miner’s shares lost nearly 6% in the preceding six sessions. On a year-to-date basis, however, they have gained over 25%, outpacing the broader market, which rose by 8%. Looking at Seeking Alpha’s quant rating , VALE has a Strong Buy rating with a score of 4.64 out of 5. The company has been graded A+ for profitability and an A for profitability. Wall Street analysts are also optimistic about the stock with a Buy rating. However, Seeking Alpha analysts have rated the stock as Hold. Earlier this month, Seeking Alpha analyst Kenio Fontes reiterated his Hold rating on the back of cyclical iron ore prices, heavy exposure to China, and Brazil risk. "I believe that iron ore cyclicality is still a very important point to consider, and because of a potential bad scenario for the iron ore cycle over the next few years (or even a structurally lower price), this good valuation is not as asymmetric as it seems at first glance,” he said. The analyst, however, was optimistic about the stock’s valuation, arguing that he finds VALE's multiples very attractive even under more conservative assumptions. “The highlight of Vale’s case continues to be valuation. The company has the potential to unlock value in the base metals division and also a ramp-up in the iron ore division, not to mention other efficiency gains. The company should continue gradually expanding through investments,” Fontes noted.

It's chips power autonomy. 00:06 Speaker B We saw uh at the end of Q4, uh or Nvidia's Q4 last year that they revenue for the autonom the auto business uh was up nearly 40% to 2.3 billion. Now, 2.3 billion is kind of chump change for Nvidia, but it's still that's not nothing. 00:20 Speaker B It's been slowing a little bit. Uh, up only 2% in the Q4 compared to Q4 a year ago. There's two parts to that autonomous business. 00:27 Speaker B The training part. That's the, that's called the uh Nvidia Alpa Mayo AI models. Uh basically it's simulation and training tools. How do you get that that that software to learn how to drive and and with with simulation, they can just be working 24 hours a day, uh even at I think at at an at an accelerated rate of time, and they can just be running in this simulated world of how do I deal with this intersection, how do I deal with this with this pedestrian, bikes, etc. And the second part is, they have this drive software that actually and components that goes into cars. 01:04 Speaker B They have a drive uh AV software that's level two that goes in into Mercedes CLA cars. and they have the um drive Hyperion, which is in it's a level four system that goes in robot taxis and things like that. They have a deal with a couple other companies. So they're really in that space and and for automakers, it's a way to get a off-the-shelf system to put in your car, put in your into your into your AI sort of um systems and and and have that going. 01:21 Speaker B Jensen, he hasn't talked about it as much recently, but he's called it a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. And this is just a thing to watch amongst everything else within Nvidia.

00:00 Speaker A Google had its big IO conference yesterday. I think it was a huge deal, actually. Um, basically the advances that they're making in search. Everyone Googles already. If you capture that audience, which they already have, and and convert them, and effectively they'd convert them without really doing anything. They convert them by changing their technology, not by you changing your behavior. 00:23 Speaker A So, all of their users who are using the search box do the same thing they've been doing. 00:27 Speaker B It seems like it's going from your traditional typing your, I want to look up this car for for my beat, right? And it pulls a bunch of links and stories and we okay, I'll look at that here and there. And now it's putting a layer like of a abstraction on top of that, you know, with that and saying, here's the cars I think you should be looking at or here's an article summary. 00:44 Speaker A Now, the monetization is the next piece. How do they make money from ads in the same way? How do they integrate? 00:49 Speaker B Let's just talk about from a publishing standpoint, right? The ad business. So for so we can take the user out for now. Yeah. Um, as a as someone who works for a publisher and and it's it's kind of scary. It's very scary. I mean, we're talking about, you know, a uh extinction level event potentially for people that rely on Google search. that ad business. You know, it's what just it's text search, it's the their whole publishing system where it's ad sense, you have ads everywhere. What happens to that? 01:11 Speaker B I mean, we don't want that anymore. Maybe we don't need that anymore. And I tell my monetization, it's stuff like, you know, I I talked about this in an AI story for for autos is like, let's say the agent saying, I see that you are interested in Hawaii. Do you want me to make uh make you guys some reservation, flights, hotel? I can book them all together. 01:23 Speaker A And maybe there's some revenue opportunity based...
