NVIDIA (NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) are both high-growth AI stocks, but the gap between the two is massive. Both companies are leaders in the AI space, Nvidia in hardware (GPUs) and Palantir in AI-powered software, but key differences in business model, growth sustainability, and valuation make Nvidia the preferred choice for most investors right now. Meanwhile, NVDA was down 1.59% when the market closed on Friday, March 13, 2026, and the stock again fell 0.029% in after-hours to trade at $180.20. PLTR was down 1.66% on the same day, while the stock gained 0.0069% in after-hours trading at $150.96. AI Investment Landscape: Hardware vs Software NVIDIA has been on top in artificial intelligence investment options over the past few years; the two have partnered to optimise their offerings and represent two versions of the investment approaches: hardware and software. Both companies have reported impressive year-over-year revenue growth, with 70-73%, but Nvidia generated significantly higher profits. Its net margin is in the mid-50% range, compared to Palantir’s ~20%. NVIDIA also has stronger pricing power and a dominant market position with an 80-90% share in AI GPUs. Palantir’s subscription-based software offers long-term revenue predictability, but its stock trades at an extremely high 114 times forward earnings, pricing in years of flawless growth. While Nvidia, reliant on AI infrastructure spending, has a more balanced valuation at 22.4 to 38.7 times forward earnings, offering more room for upside if AI adoption continues. Palantir sells AI-powered data analytics software. This has been deployed in several applications, including national defence, intelligence, and commercial applications. In the meantime, Nvidia’s GPUs are meant for more than processing gaming graphics; they can process multiple calculations in parallel, making them the perfect choice for any computing need that requires a lot of processing power. If the AI computing capacity is built o...

Nippon Express (Taiwan) Co., Ltd. (NX Taiwan) has officially opened the Tainan NEXT11 Warehouse, a high-tech logistics hub designed to support the rapid expansion of semiconductor and AI-related industries in southern Taiwan. The facility commenced full-scale operations in January 2026, positioning NX Taiwan at the center of the region’s growth. Located within the Tainan Sinshih Logistics Park—a smart complex developed by Uni-President Enterprises Group—the warehouse is strategically sited near the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP), home to the world’s most advanced chipmaking facilities. Precision Infrastructure for High-Precision Cargo Semiconductor logistics requires a zero-fail environment where temperature, security, and vibration are strictly controlled. The Tainan NEXT11 facility is purpose-built for these rigorous standards: Direct Floor Access: Utilizing a unique spiral rampway structure, large vehicles can drive directly to berths on each floor. This minimizes handling time and reduces the risk of damage to sensitive components during transshipment. Environmentally Controlled: The facility features full air-conditioning and specialized raised-floor platform docks to maintain the integrity of high-value electronics and precision machinery. Smart Security: The hub operates with 24/7 manned security and advanced surveillance systems, meeting the stringent global security protocols required for semiconductor-related cargo. Supporting the Regional Industry Surge The opening coincides with a historic period of growth in Taiwan’s science parks, driven by the mass production of next-generation chips and the global demand for AI accelerators.

Cars queue to refuel at a gas station in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, March 9, 2026. Photo: VCG Just as Beijing is trying to lift prices out of a prolonged slump, a surge in global oil prices triggered by the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran is raising concerns that China could face imported stagflation instead. Crude prices have risen above $100 a barrel after hostilities disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy supplies. For China, the world’s largest crude oil importer, the shock is pushing up energy costs even as domestic demand remains fragile and price pressures subdued.

LONDON and MADRID, March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atrato Onsite Energy announces today the merger with Finlight to create one of the largest specialist energy providers to the commercial and industrial (C&I), and residential markets in Europe. The newly consolidated business will operate under the Finlight brand and will be headquartered in the UK. It will continue to be supported by majority shareholder Brookfield, a leading global investment firm with 46GW of installed capacity, and Real Asset Investment Management, a dedicated infrastructure investor. The combined business will have a total installed and in construction capacity of c.700 MW across 815 C&I plants, as well as 23,000 residential solar and battery systems in the UK, Spain and Portugal. Finlight’s customers include individual homeowners as well as a number of leading global businesses, including Amazon, Bentley, Gestamp, Nissan, Tesco, and Valeo. By 2030, Finlight aims to invest over £2 billion in the distributed generation market taking the company’s total installed capacity to over 2 GW. This growth will be driven organically with the optionality to pursue small add-ons to consolidate a highly fragmented market. Finlight will initially focus on its core markets in the UK, Spain and Portugal, but will look to expand into new core European markets in parallel. The merger was borne out of both companies’ shared focus on offering customers an alternative to the traditional centralised energy generation market, enabling access to renewable energy systems that are located close to the point of consumption. This reduces energy costs by c.25% and increases energy security for consumers. Finlight will be led by Gurpreet Gujral (CEO), Mateo Andrada (CIO) and Miguel Ángel Bermejo (CFO) alongside a team of over 80 employees based in the UK and Spain. The team will continue to be single-minded in offering customers clean and economically priced energy that is generated onsite. Finlight’s overall offering is si...

Resource-rich African nations are increasingly asserting control over critical minerals to maximise domestic returns, sending global prices soaring and exerting pressure on Chinese supply chains. Zimbabwe, Africa’s largest lithium producer, last month abruptly suspended exports of raw lithium minerals and concentrates, moving its 2027 deadline forward. Zimbabwe’s mines minister Polite Kambamura revealed in a post-cabinet briefing on March 3 that following notice of the intended ban, the industry had increased production and export volumes. Advertisement “There was also an increased appetite for lithium export permits, and the rationale behind it was to export as much product as possible before the notice period,” Kambamura said, explaining why the deadline was brought forward a year. 08:58 What are rare earths, and why is China’s dominance facing global pushback What are rare earths, and why is China’s dominance facing global pushback This decision hits Chinese battery producers hard, having invested billions into local mines and relying on Zimbabwe for nearly 20 per cent of their total lithium concentrate supply. Following the ban, lithium carbonate prices on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange rose sharply to 178,020 yuan (US$25,800) per tonne by late February, up from 119,000 yuan in January. However, prices have since moderated as immediate supply concerns eased, trading at about 159,000 yuan per tonne as of March 13.

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. posted a 2.4% drop in quarterly profit, suggesting weakening demand for Nvidia Corp. servers at the heart of the AI boom. The company also known as Foxconn reported net income of NT$45.2 billion ($1.4 billion) for the quarter ended December, trailing the average analyst projection of NT$59.9 billion. The company previously reported a better-than-projected 22% jump in revenue during the period. Hon Hai has established itself as a key AI hardware player by assembling servers that house Nvidia accelerators. Alphabet Inc. , Amazon.com Inc. , Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are earmarking more than $650 billion on AI spending this year, despite warnings of overcapacity and lingering uncertainty over how to monetize the technology. What Bloomberg Intelligence Says The cloud and networking segment will lead as next-generation AI server racks ramped up on intensifying cloud service provider demand, helped by steady general-purpose server growth after platform upgrades and AI data center optimization. The computing segment’s sales are likely to decline, mainly due to tough comparisons. Smart consumer electronics performance was bolstered by solid demand for the iPhone 17 series, though can be partially offset by unfavorable currency impact.

Some of the most well-known and established artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are down significantly from their all-time high for no good reason. This opens up rare investment opportunities that hardly ever appear. One that I'm eyeing right now is Microsoft (MSFT 1.57%). Microsoft is down around 25% from its all-time high, something that isn't common. The last time Microsoft was down 25% from its all-time high was during the late 2022, early 2023 marketwide sell-off when investors assumed we were headed straight for a recession, and market sentiment was extremely negative. While it's not all sunshine and rainbows in the world right now, there isn't a lot going on that will disrupt Microsoft's business. In fact, with all of the AI spending going on, Microsoft is expected to grow even more. I think this sell-off is a no-brainer buying opportunity, and Microsoft could easily roar back by the end of 2026 to establish a new all-time high. Microsoft is benefiting big-time from the AI build-out Just because Microsoft's stock is down 25% doesn't mean it needs to gain 25% to reach a new all-time high. It actually requires a 33% gain, which is an impressive return for any stock for just a year's investment. But what will Microsoft have to do to return to those levels? I think it just needs to maintain its course. Microsoft is taking a bit of a hands-off approach in the AI arms race. Instead of directly competing by building its own generative AI model, Microsoft is choosing to stay neutral. While it owns 27% of OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT, Microsoft also hosts all sorts of other generative AI models, such as Grok from xAI, Anthropic's Claude, and DeepSeek R1, among others. Microsoft is positioning itself as the place where you can gain access to nearly any generative AI model you could want, and by not forcing a model on the user, it gives them greater flexibility.

While most of the investor focus in the tech world may be on artificial intelligence (AI), there's another emerging tech trend that could deliver monster growth in the next few years: quantum computing. The theoretical capabilities of quantum computers could allow them to perform calculations far beyond the reach of even the most powerful classical supercomputers, and some of the preliminary results achieved by early models have been nothing short of incredible. This technology isn't advanced or accurate enough to be used widely on a commercial scale yet, but progress is ongoing. Many companies, both large and small, are developing quantum computing systems in hopes that they will be among the ultimate winners in the space. D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) is one of them, and it's taking a unique approach that I think gives it a leg up on the competition. But could that advantage provide it with enough growth potential to make you a millionaire from a relatively small investment? Image source: The Motley Fool. Continue reading
