aprott/iStock via Getty Images Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) is planning to sell its obesity drugs on the telehealth platform run by Hims & Hers Health ( HIMS ) as part of a partnership between the two firms, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. The companies are set to announce the deal as early as Monday, according to the person who sought anonymity, as the information is not yet public. A spokesperson for the Danish drugmaker told Bloomberg, “We are always in conversation with companies that can help improve patient access to FDA-approved medicines for people living with chronic diseases. These talks happen on an ongoing basis.” HIMS was not available for comments outside regular business hours. A similar deal between the companies fell apart in June after Hims ( HIMS ) refused to discontinue the sale of low-cost compounded versions of Novo’s ( NVO ) obesity therapy semaglutide, even as the GLP-1 was no longer in shortage in the U.S. Most recently, the telehealth firm was forced to withdraw its plans to sell compounded versions of Novo’s ( NVO ) newly launched oral obesity therapy, the Wegovy pill, after its market rollout drew regulatory scrutiny. Novo ( NVO ) later filed a lawsuit accusing the company of violating its rights to a key U.S. patent related to semaglutide. Novo ( NVO ) ADRs added ~2% in the post-market after the report , while Hims ( HIMS ) climbed 40%. Eli Lilly ( LLY ), whose oral weight loss therapy, orforglipron, is currently undergoing FDA review, traded flat.

Find winning stocks in any market cycle. Join 7 million investors using Simply Wall St's investing ideas for FREE. U.S. lawmakers from both parties are pressing Intel over national security risks tied to its testing of chipmaking tools from ACM Research, which has ties to China and sanctioned Chinese entities. Concerns focus on whether evaluating ACM equipment inside Intel facilities could expose sensitive U.S. semiconductor know how to Chinese military linked companies. Intel says ACM tools are not used in production, and that it complies with U.S. laws and regularly works with government agencies on national security matters. For investors watching NasdaqGS:INTC, this scrutiny lands at a time when the stock trades around $43.42 and has seen a 10.3% gain year to date, alongside a 110.4% return over the past year. The inquiry raises questions about how Intel balances its global supply chain with U.S. policy expectations, especially given the company’s access to government investment. The key issues to watch now are how extensive any follow up from Congress or regulators becomes and whether it affects Intel’s operations or access to certain vendors. You might want to track management’s disclosures on equipment sourcing, export control compliance, and any comments about potential adjustments to its manufacturing tool set.

A large crowd spent much of Saturday following Jon Rahm around Fanling as he made his way up the leaderboard at LIV Golf Hong Kong – further evidence, if any were needed, that the tournament is quickly establishing itself as an important part of the city’s social and sporting calendar. And while attendance figures will not be announced until the tournament has finished, officials said a large number had made the trip from mainland China and overseas, with many paying thousands of dollars for hospitality tickets. They certainly got their money’s worth at Hong Kong Golf Club, with Rahm’s five-under-par 65 taking him to 17 under and into a three-way tie at the top alongside Harold Varner III and Thomas Detry. Advertisement Among those watching the action was tourism chief Peter Lam Kin-ngok, who was given special permission by Beijing to skip part of China’s annual “two sessions” to attend. The chairman of Hong Kong Tourism Board, who is a member of the CPPCC Standing Committee and will return to the country’s capital on Sunday, told reporters in a brief stand-up that it had become “one of the city’s most significant events”. HKTB’s Paul Lam says LIV Golf Hong Kong has become “one of the city’s most significant events”. Photo: Elson Li Between 40,000 and 50,000 people are expected to watch over the course of four days, Lam added, with a number of those the high-end visitors the city is so keen to attract.

Olivier Le Moal/iStock via Getty Images ************ Author's Note: This is our monthly series on Dividend Stocks, usually published in the first week of every month. We scan the universe of roughly 7,500 stocks listed and traded on U.S. exchanges and use our proprietary filtering criteria to select five relatively safe stocks that may be trading cheaper compared to their historical valuations. Some of the sections in the article, like "Selection Process/Methodology," are repeated each month with few changes. This is intentional as well as unavoidable, as this is necessary for the new readers to be able to conceptualize the process. Regular readers of this series could skip such sections to avoid repetitiveness and jump to the section titled "Selection of the Top 50." Readers can also read a more detailed explanation of the goals and the selection process in our blog post here . ************ Introduction and Market Summary: Since Nov. 2025, the market has been mostly trading in a tight range between S&P 500 ( SPX ) levels 6600 and 6950. Though the S&P 500 did cross the SPX 7000 level briefly in January, it has not done so in any meaningful way. There have been so many developments in the last month or so, ranging from slightly cooling inflation (with some mixed signals), the Fed holding interest rates steady, the tariff situation in light of the Supreme Court order, and, more recently, the fast-evolving geopolitical situation around Iran. On top of all that, the AI overvaluations and overborrowing have gripped the markets for some time. Also, the fear of the AI's impact on software stocks has resulted in brutal revaluations on almost every company in the segment, though it may be overdone. The trend from 2025, the outperformance of the foreign markets (over the U.S. market), is still alive and ongoing. Also, there appears to be a rotation of big money from technology to industrial, materials, energy, and utility sectors that is continuing. In the short term, the mar...

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images There's a lot of attention being paid to the price of oil and the war in Iran and the Straight of Hormuz, and by much smarter people than me. I don't want to show you any charts about oil or the Straight of Hormuz or how many basis points are going to be added to the CPI. Instead, I want to talk about what hasn't changed because of the war in Iran, including: The people shortage that is coming into focus in the US. Some undeniable signs that the US economy is increasingly becoming an old-age economy. The AI infrastructure capex boom that is only speeding up. What the forecast for private credit AUM growth was before that ~$2 trillion industry started melting down. The very compelling opportunities on my buy list right now. Onward! The People Shortage Comes to the US I've written plenty of times in past articles about the cessation of population growth, and especially working-age population growth, across much of the developed world. Here in the US of A, we have enjoyed continued total and working-age population growth largely because of positive net immigration -- that is, more people coming to live in the US than permanently leaving the US. Lots of economic research has shown how vitally important total and especially working-age population growth is to GDP growth. People are both workers and consumers and therefore boost both supply and demand, expanding the overall "pie" of the economy. Economic growth faces strong headwinds when working-age population growth stalls and even stronger headwinds as the working-age to old-age ratio falls. That caused me some angst when I saw this chart in which the Brookings Institution estimates that net immigration was either flat or slightly down in 2025. Wall Street Journal Out-migration (of US citizens and legal residents) continues to slowly grow while in-migration has fallen sharply, due to both deportations and lower immigration. Brookings (a Left-leaning and generally pro-immigra...

Caroline Munsterman/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Small-cap companies are running on thin ice this year, as a very choppy global macroeconomic environment is combining on top of market jitters. Amid the recent risk-off attitude in the stock markets, many small- and micro-cap stocks have shed a substantial amount of value, as investors deploy a risk-off attitude in investing through the year. GoPro ( GPRO ), the action camera maker, has been heavily impacted. Its stock has been cut down by nearly 50% since the start of January alone, and just fell more than 20% after reporting a mixed fourth-quarter update. The question for investors now is: can the company rebound, or is it dead money? Data by YCharts I last wrote a neutral article on GoPro in January , when the stock was trading at $1.40 per share. GoPro's Q4 update contained some glimmers of hope, particularly on the company's cost-cutting efforts and apparent stabilization in its demand. At the same time, however, there is a minefield of risks as we look out into 2026, especially at GoPro's relatively limited liquidity. I maintain a neutral rating here. The positive factors: stabilizing hardware revenue trends, significantly reduced cash burn Let's begin with a look at all the positive things that GoPro has achieved that, in my view, the recent market bearishness has almost entirely completely ignored. The first: sales on hardware have held up reasonably well. Take a look at the Q4 earnings summary below: GoPro Q4 results (GoPro Q4 earnings release) GoPro's revenue was roughly flat, growing 0.4% y/y at $201.7 million, which came in line with Wall Street expectations. We note that this comes as a relief after Q3 revenue declined -37% y/y, which is primarily due to a tough prior-year product launch calendar. As a reminder, GoPro did not launch a new flagship HERO camera (which is the product line that drives the majority of its revenue) in FY25, yet it comped against the launch of the mainline HERO13 in Septemb...

A subsidiary of Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings is seeking US$2 billion in damages from the Panamanian government over what it described as the “illegal takeover” of the operations of two ports at either end of the strategic canal. In a statement issued on Friday, the Panama Ports Company (PPC) said it had submitted the claim for arbitration against the country under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, vowing it would not “relent” or seek “token relief” for the damages it was owed. Panamanian authorities wrested control of the Balboa and Cristobal ports in February following a ruling by the country’s top court that declared the law approving the concession held by PPC unconstitutional. Advertisement The concession was renewed in 2021 for a further 25 years until 2047. “As PPC has advised in prior statements, the conduct of the Panamanian state is inconsistent with applicable law, contract and treaty rights,” the company said. Advertisement PPC and CK Hutchison “will not relent and they are not coming for some token relief – they will assert all of their rights and damages they are due because of the radical breaches and anti-investor conduct of the Panamanian state,” the statement said. PPC clarified that it was seeking US$2 billion in damages and accused Panamanian authorities of misreporting the figure to the media.

Adalo No data migration required — existing spreadsheets become live databases for real native apps, published to the App Store and Google Play for $36/month SAN FRANCISCO, March 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adalo, the no-code visual AI app builder, today announced SheetBridge, a feature that lets business teams turn their existing Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and Airtable spreadsheets into fully functional native iOS and Android apps, without rebuilding their data or hiring a developer. SheetBridge connects directly to a team's existing spreadsheet, uses Adalo's AI (Ada) to generate proper app screens from the data structure, and publishes a native app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The resulting app reads and writes back to the spreadsheet in real time. It is not a web view or a mobile-formatted version of the spreadsheet. It is a genuine native app with navigation, screens, and UI, backed by the team's existing data. The Problem SheetBridge Solves Millions of small and mid-sized businesses manage field operations, inventory, customer records, and internal workflows in spreadsheets. The spreadsheet works, but sharing it by email, updating it manually, and trying to pull it up on a phone in the field does not. The standard path to a mobile app has been either custom development (typically $50,000 to $150,000 and several months of lead time) or starting from scratch with a new database that duplicates what the team already has. SheetBridge removes the "start over" requirement. Teams keep their Google Sheet as the source of truth. They connect it to Adalo, Ada generates the app screens based on the column structure and data relationships, and within hours the team has a native app ready to submit to the App Stores. What SheetBridge Includes Live two-way sync with Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel (via Microsoft 365), and Airtable AI-generated app screens built from the spreadsheet's data structure Native iOS and Android builds published to the Apple Ap...

Britain Is Trying To Censor Americans... But Washington Is Fighting Back Authored by Daniel Lü via The Daily Sceptic, Ofcom has confirmed it is referring 4chan to a final enforcement decision under the Online Safety Act. The target is a Delaware company that runs an entirely anonymous imageboard from the United States, with no offices, staff, servers or assets in Britain. The demand: install age-verification systems and content filters so that British children cannot access the site or face daily fines levied from London on an American platform. This case is not an outlier. It is the clearest real-world demonstration of what the new generation of “online safety” laws requires: private companies must build automated filters that decide, in advance, which legal speech is too harmful for minors to see. The question the regulators never quite answer is simple: what exactly does the filter catch? In the early 2020s, a political consensus formed on both sides of the Atlantic: social media is harming children and something must be done. The result in Washington was the Kids’ Online Safety Act (KOSA); in Westminster, the Online Safety Act (OSA), which received Royal Assent in October 2023 and began enforcement in 2025. The political appeal of both measures is genuine. Adolescent mental health deteriorated in the 2010s, parents are alarmed and platforms have appeared indifferent. But good intentions do not make good law, and the form these interventions took is constitutionally and morally indefensible. Both KOSA and the OSA rest on a duty-of-care model: platforms must take “reasonable measures” or implement “proportionate systems” to prevent minors from encountering content associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide. This is not a regulation of conduct. It is a mandate to suppress speech based on its topic and its predicted emotional effect on a reader: the very definition of content-based regulation. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACL...

Aside from a home, the largest purchase the typical American will make is a new vehicle. As reported by Kelley Blue Book, the average new-car buyer paid a whopping $49,191 in January 2026, down a little over 2% from an all-time high of more than $50,000 per transaction in December. Meanwhile, it's become virtually impossible to find a new vehicle with a price tag of less than $20,000. With new vehicle prices rising at every turn, consumers are expecting meaningful value and dependability from their investment. This means that having a historic or household name, such as Ford Motor Company (F 1.66%), General Motors (GM 1.07%), or Tesla (TSLA 2.07%), isn't enough, by itself, to incentivize loyalty among car buyers. But for automakers that can instill trust and engage with their customers during and beyond the sale, the rewards can be bountiful. For roughly three decades, global brand research consultancy firm Brand Keys has published the results of a survey that quantifies how customer loyalty and engagement positively or negatively impact businesses across dozens of categories. Brand Keys' 2026 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index (CLEI) examined over 1,100 brands in 106 categories -- automotive among them. For the 17th consecutive year, one automaker walked away with the brand loyalty and engagement crown -- and it wasn't one of Detroit's automakers or Elon Musk's Tesla. Ford has shone, but not enough to take the top spot Although Ford hasn't driven to the front of the pack, it has placed as high as second in the CLEI rankings, which is nothing to sneeze at when competing against dozens of prominent auto brands. Ford's customer base is particularly loyal thanks to its top-selling F-Series pickups. Last year marked the 49th consecutive year that the F-Series was the best-selling truck in America, and the 44th straight year that it was the best-selling vehicle, period. The latest U.S. Automotive Brand Loyalty Study from J.D. Power found that Ford's truck loyalty rate was...

Customers use computers at an Internet cafe in Tehran, Iran. Raheb Homavandi | Reuters Iran remains under a near-complete internet blackout, data monitoring site NetBlocks, said on Saturday. "A full week has now passed since #Iran fell into digital darkness under a regime-imposed national internet blackout," NetBlocks said in a social media post. "The measure remains in place at hour 168, leaving the public isolated without vital updates and alerts while officials and state media retain access," NetBlocks said. A chart in the post showed internet traffic at around 1% of its normal levels. Internet traffic in Iran from Feb. 24, 2026 to March 7, 2026: NetBlocks via Mastodon https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/116186683967916133. NetBlocks via Mastodon U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran continued on Saturday, one week after they launched their joint campaign to rid Tehran of its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities while also pushing for regime change. Iran has implemented internet shutdowns during periods of social unrest in the past. A similar near-blackout was imposed for several weeks in January amid widespread protests in the country. However, some analysts said that additional factors may be contributing to the internet disruption. "While the actual cause is still unclear, it's almost certainly a combination of both state-ordered suppression and external cyber disruption," Kathryn Raines, cyber threat intelligence team lead at intelligence platform Flashpoint, told CNBC earlier this week. Iran has not officially commented on the outage. Analysts say that the lack of internet connectivity in Iran is likely to add to the fog of war, with citizens on the ground unable to communicate with their families, document events or get real-time updates on the conflict. Cybersecurity firms warned that Iran is also likely to respond with cyberattacks, either carried out directly by the government or by affiliated proxy groups. In a statement shared with CNBC, Adam Meyers...

Getty Images RadNet, Inc. ( RDNT ) is a healthcare company that provides outpatient imaging services. Its Digital Health segment, DeepHealth, offers workflow software and clinical AI for radiology operations. The company grows through joint ventures with hospitals, new centers, and acquisitions. Recently, RDNT acquired Gleamer, which is an AI-powered radiology company that will become part of its DeepHealth portfolio. And overall, I believe RDNT trades at compelling valuation multiples in light of its growth prospects (and secular AI trends), which is why I deem the stock a “Strong Buy” at these levels. Promising Diagnostic Imaging Business RadNet, Inc. is a healthcare company that provides diagnostic imaging services. It operates a large network of facilities, comprising 418 centers across the US, reporting the completion of more than 10 million outpatient imaging procedures annually. RDNT was founded back in 1981 and is currently headquartered in Los Angeles, California. However, they recently reported record revenues and completed a major AI acquisition, which I believe makes it a very interesting stock to cover. Source: RadNet Website. Retrieved March 2026. You see, as a quick recap, RDNT’s Imaging Center Segment offers services such as MRI for soft tissue and CT for cross-sectional body images. Similarly, they provide PET scans that show activity in the body. RDNT’s centers also provide routine imaging like nuclear medicine for organ function, mammography, ultrasound, X-rays, fluoroscopy, and related procedures. Most centers offer several types of imaging in one location for convenience, so it’s a well-rounded business already in this niche.

Russia has won its first Winter Paralympic medals since 2014 as Varvara Voronchikhina and Aleksei Bugaev claimed bronze in the women’s and men’s downhill standing events in Cortina on Saturday morning. Vorinchikhina, whose success means Russia will appear on an international medal table for the first time in 12 years, spoke of her pride at being able to compete under her own flag. “It’s a really long time when we were without the flag, and I’m really glad [now],” she said. “All my country and all my teammates, we [are] glad. I’m very happy because it’s [the] first medal for me. It was a bronze, but I’m really happy.” The Russia flag has not been seen at a Paralympic Games or shown on the medal table since Sochi 2014, because of the country’s state-sponsored doping scandal and then the invasion of Ukraine. Vorinchikhina is expected to race in all four remaining events in visually impaired Alpine Skiing – combined, slalom, giant slalom and super G. With super G and slalom her preferred events, the prospect of her winning a gold medal for Russia is a real one. Russia have sent six athletes to the Winter Paralympics after the International Paralympic Committee overturned its ban on the country last year. Later on Saturday, the three-time gold medallist Bugaev picked up the eighth medal of his Paralympic career. “It was a difficult medal, I would say, even one of the most difficult of my career,” he said. “But I am very happy that I can represent my country again.” The 28-year-old added: “It’s nice when you’re not deprived of anything, not restricted, not forced to not reveal yourself, like it was in Korea [2018, for example, when they combined the two colours of our flag. We’re just happy that we can compete here on equal terms. And even more so to bring home a medal so that the flag can fly.” View image in fullscreen Russia’s Aleksei Bugaev reacts after claiming a bronze medal the men’s downhill standing competition at Cortina d’Ampezzo.

More than 100 substances widely used in common US foods, supplements and beverages underwent no health and safety review by the US Food and Drug Administration, a new analysis of federal records finds.

More than 100 substances widely used in common US foods, supplements and beverages underwent no health and safety review by the US Food and Drug Administration, a new analysis of federal records finds. The review of FDA records by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) non-profit reveals that diverse products across the food pyramid, such as Capri Sun drinks, Kettle and Fire organic broth, Acme smoked fish, and Quaker Oats snack bars, use a range of substances that have not undergone review by regulators. Companies are using the generally recognized as safe (GRAS) rule that was developed in 1958 to allow ingredients such as salt or white vinegar to be used without a burdensome and needless review process. But companies are increasingly exploiting the rule and sending potentially dangerous new chemicals or substances into the food system without scrutiny, EWG found. Some of these have caused health problems. In 2022, food made with the GRAS ingredient tara flour was believed to have caused over 300 illnesses and 113 hospitalizations. The report is “a wake-up call for every American who assumes the FDA is reviewing the safety of chemicals in their food”, said Melanie Benesh, a report co-author and EWG’s vice president for government affairs. “Instead, food and chemical companies are exploiting a loophole to keep both the government and the public in the dark,” Benesh said. The investigation found 111 substances of unknown safety, and the figure is likely higher, though the lack of a safety review does not necessarily mean an ingredient is dangerous The substances are used by popular brands such as Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, PepsiCo and Casita, federal records reviewed by EWG show. GRAS is not the only route by which some chemicals are approved. Food colorings or chemicals added to packaging, for example, can be introduced to the food system via a different route, and those are not included in the report. GRAS requires companies to demonstrate a new food ingredient is s...

These squishy, bouncy potatoey pillows are suppertime favourites, but which will float your boat and which will leave you with that synthetic, sinking feeling? • The best supermarket pesto Gnocchi are a godsend – my children love them – but I was shocked by the quality on offer here. Of the products I tested, 80% were made from reconstituted dried potato flakes, emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabilisers (diphosphates) and preservatives (sodium metabisulphate). Most came in non-recyclable packaging, too – that’s simply not real food, and unnecessary when you consider that similar long-life products are made with real potato and few preservatives. I’m going to be very cautious about buying gnocchi from now on. Gnocchi are generally slathered in sauce, so I’d never tried them plain before, but doing so revealed their true nature, as did studying the ingredients labels. Also, I was taught to cook gnocchi until they floated, which usually takes only a minute when you make them from scratch, but most manufacturers advise boiling them for two or three minutes, not until they floated, which left me wondering whether they were even cooked at all.

A UK recruitment business has been acquired out of administration for a third time in four years as part of a succession of deals that left some of the former management team in place and millions of pounds owed to the public purse. The chain of insolvencies appears to contain more examples of phoenixism – a process when companies are liquidated and directors are able to rise from the ashes with a new entity, free of debts. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has estimated that phoenixism, which is generally legal, cost the exchequer about 22% of the £3.8bn of tax losses reported in 2022 to 2023. The Guardian has reported on a series of cases in the staffing sector since last summer, when a temp agency apparently emerged from insolvency for a second time while owing tens of millions of pounds to the exchequer. In the latest case, an administrator’s report details how two Hampshire-based recruitment companies – Sert Group and Sert Training – collapsed in January and were acquired for £196,304 by an unconnected buyer that insisted the previous management remained in place. The management, which includes Sert chief executive Mark Edwards and chief financial officer Ben Knight, had run two earlier iterations of the same business that had also gone into administration. Together, the three insolvencies appear to leave creditors £7.6m out of pocket, including about £4.5m owed to HMRC, according to research compiled by business data firm Tech City Labs. In February 2022, Edwards and Knight were directors of a recruitment business called 3R Global when it had its assets acquired by Sert Workforce Solutions for £60,000 after collapsing into administration. At the same time, the pair were also directors of Sert Workforce Solutions, which in turn entered administration in October 2024. Its assets were then acquired by Sert Training for £50,000 and 7.5% of future profits. Sert Training had the same owner as the previous two versions of the business, as well as Edwards and Knight liste...

A plot to supply Iran’s nuclear weapons program, heroin from the Golden Triangle, Burmese ethnic insurgents and rocket launchers were the subject in courtroom 24A in New York’s federal courthouse last week when a man described as a leader in Japan’s Yakuza organized crime syndicate was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The transnational plot, which the US Drug Enforcement Administration had been investigating since 2019, involved Japanese organised crime leader Takeshi Ebisawa, who along with three Thai men, had been arrested in New York in 2022. In court last week, Ebisawa, 62, pleaded guilty to six counts of conspiracy to traffic nuclear materials, including uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, from Myanmar to other countries, as well as his participation in international narcotics trafficking, weapons and money laundering. According to prosecutors, Ebisawa had arranged to sell an undercover DEA agent large quantities of heroin and methamphetamine from Myanmar’s rebel United Wa state army, and then sought to buy automatic weapons, rockets, machine guns and surface-to-air missiles, some taken from US military bases in Afghanistan, for Sri Lanka’s Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and Myanmar’s Karen National Union, Shan State Army and United Wa state army. But it wasn’t the 1,100lbs of drugs, known as “cake and ice cream” in Ebisawa’s intercepted communications, or even the weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, known as “bamboo”, but the trafficking of nuclear materials that attracted the attention of US prosecutors in the southern district of Manhattan. “The illicit trafficking of nuclear materials is an existential threat to every New Yorker and every American,” said US attorney Jay Clayton. “Ebisawa tried to sell uranium, thorium, and plutonium to fuel a purported nuclear weapons program, along with deadly drugs destined for US streets. In exchange, Ebisawa hoped to procure battlefield weapons for insurgent groups and profit for himself.” According to the co...

However, BNP Paribas contends current launch costs make any sizable project prohibitive. BNP estimates current launch costs range from $1,500 to $3,600 per kilogram. They believe costs need to fall below $300 per kilogram to make any sizable data center project economically viable. At current launch costs, a 1-GW space-based data center would require more than $100B. In comparison, a 1-GW terrestrial data center costs $35B to $50B to construct. "We do not view orbital data centers as a viable near- to medium-term solution to replace terrestrial data centers, due to the significant launch costs, as well as higher hardware costs associated with space-grade systems, including specialized electrical infrastructure and thermal management," said BNP Paribas analyst Nick Jones. "We estimate launch costs for a 1GW data center would be approximately $30-$75B, in addition to our estimated $50B of costs to construct the satellite fitted with data center components and solar panels." If, and when, costs for orbital data centers become viable, BNP Paribas expects companies such as Google ( GOOG )( GOOGL ), Amazon ( AMZN ), and Meta ( META ) to be among the first companies involved in early-stage alpha testing. "Our analysis suggests that, long-term, the CapEx and OpEx dynamics could bring the economics of orbital data centers closer to parity with terrestrial facilities, provided that innovation continues in ground-link, cooling, and solar-power technologies," Jones added. "In our view, the primary advantage of locating data centers in space would be the comparatively lower barriers to expanding capacity, since they could sidestep many of the regulatory, zoning, and land-acquisition constraints that affect ground-based sites." Several companies h...
