Tech trends like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing are what grab the headlines; there's no doubt about that. And while the gains from them are undeniably impressive, it's always a good idea to hedge your bets. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, as the old saying goes. And a good way to avoid doing that with tech stocks is by investing in industrial companies, their polar opposite in many ways. Where tech stocks are usually concerned with cyberspace, industrial companies concern themselves with the physical world and produce things people need. They're often boring, but they are incredibly important. The tech industry also strongly relies on the two companies below, albeit indirectly. Both of these stocks are strong long-term plays you'll want to sit on for years, maybe even decades, and they make a stable hedge against potential volatility in the tech sector. Excitable atoms Up first is Cameco (CCJ 4.74%), Canada's premier uranium miner and the second-largest in the world in terms of production. In 2025, Cameco alone was responsible for 15% of all the uranium produced globally. At first blush, the company's business is simple and straightforward: Cameco mines and refines uranium for use in nuclear power plants. But there's a lot more to it than that. The mines it holds, for one thing, are large and the uranium ore they produce is of a very high grade, requiring less refinement than the lower-grade ore that comprises much of Kazakhstan's production. Cameco is also involved in the production of usable nuclear fuel pellets and rods. It even has a hand in the reactors that fuel is used in through its 49% share of a joint ownership stake in engineering company Westinghouse. Westinghouse designs and manufactures the AP1000, the most advanced commercially available nuclear reactor in the world. And, given that AI's energy needs have governments and companies around the world investing in nuclear power, Cameco will also profit indirectly from the tech i...

Champions Bath left no doubt about their appetite for another title as they swept Saracens aside 62-15 at the Rec to regain top spot. The Londoners started brightly and did not lack effort but Bath’s killer instinct earned them nine tries in front of another capacity crowd. Scotland’s Finn Russell kicked 17 points from seven conversions and a penalty. Russell and the club captain, Ben Spencer, were straight back into action after ultimately frustrating Six Nations campaigns with their respective countries. Saracens were quickest out of the blocks, charging down Spencer’s attempted box-kick and working Tobias Elliott clear for a try in the corner after just 70 seconds. Owen Farrell landed the conversion and added a penalty after 13 minutes as Bath struggled to find their rhythm. Ollie Lawrence provided the necessary reset, first with a crash-ball surge almost to the try line and then the tip-on for Will Muir to score in the corner from a five-metre scrum. Russell converted and delivered a prodigious 40-22 kick to pile on the pressure again. Scotland back-row Josh Bayliss won the resulting lineout and retrieved a loose ball to evade three defenders on his way to the try line, with Russell’s conversion putting the home side 14-10 ahead after 20 minutes. Consecutive penalty awards against the visitors led to Alfie Barbeary exploiting an opening from a catch-and-drive for the third Bath try. Back came Saracens with a Theo Dan breakaway which forced a penalty advantage leading to a second try for Elliott. However, a 70-metre interception try by Henry Arundell soon secured a bonus point for Bath. Russell converted and rounded off the first half with a penalty for a 31-15 interval lead. Saracens came out for the second half in determined mood, but when they lost possession right in front of the Bath posts the ball was cleared upfield and Spencer seized his chance to score in the corner. Russell was wide with the kick but had no problem converting Kepu Tuipulotu’s score afte...

Key Points Medicare has implemented a new pilot program that requires preapproval for many treatments. The pilot program is currently running in six states. Part of the program involves using artificial intelligence (AI) to determine if a service should be covered. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Access to healthcare is critical for retirees who often begin to develop age-related health issues. Medicare provides coverage for many older Americans, and while it has some significant coverage limitations and requires high out-of-pocket coinsurance costs, it also has some major benefits for retirees. Traditionally, one of those benefits has been that preapproval isn't typically required for Medicare services. However, that's changing this year. Medicare is introducing new preapproval requirements in a pilot program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help determine if care should be authorized. If it's viewed as successful, this pilot program could potentially lead to more restrictions on care without prior approval. 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 » Unfortunately, not everyone is thrilled about the new limitations, and some points of potential concern relate to the fact that AI will be involved. Medicare is imposing preapproval requirements on these services The new pilot program will run in six states: New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. The program is called the WISeR Model, which stands for Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction, because it restricts access to 17 services considered to be presumptively "wasteful." The 17 services that will require preauthorization under the program include: Phrenic nerve stimulator Percutaneous image-guided lumbar decompression for spinal stenosis Electrical nerve stimulators S...

JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists cut their price target on the S&P 500 Index, saying the upside potential for risk assets is “more constrained” by a war in the Middle East. Strategists led by Fabio Bassi slashed their year-end estimate to 7,200 points from 7,500, citing a supply shock stemming from the interruption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz that threatens to crimp corporate profits and economic growth. “Geopolitical concerns and higher energy prices for longer will drag global growth lower and inflation higher,” Bassi wrote in a note to clients published on Friday. “We recommend investors to stay invested with downside hedges in equities, and we hold to these hedges given the modest correction year-to-date.” Equity markets have been stress-tested since the conflict in the Middle East broke out three weeks ago. The S&P 500 fell 1.5% on Friday to 6,506.48, the lowest level in six months, and notched its fourth-straight week of declines, the longest losing streak in more than a year. The firm’s new target still implies an 11% gain for the S&P 500 between Friday’s close and the year-end. Hostilities between Iran and the US have added a new stress point to the market, which is already dealing with other headwinds, including fear of disruption from artificial intelligence as well as private-credit writedowns. The surging oil prices threaten earnings growth, Bassi said. “On earnings, ~$110 oil through year-end implies a 2–5% trim to S&P 500 consensus EPS, with more pronounced pressure if crude grinds higher,” Bassi wrote in the note. “The near-term equity risk is more about multiple compression as investors reassess growth and liquidity than a deep earnings recession.” Earlier this week, JPMorgan strategists said investors were failing to price the potential economic damage from soaring energy prices and other strains caused by a prolonged shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, despite the fact that four out of five oil shocks since the 1970s have led to a reces...
