Alphabet Inc's global bond sale this week underscored the high level of investor demand for the major AI hyperscalers, but raised concerns about the debt's lack of protections for existing and future bondholders. Alphabet's bond sale stood out in several ways, including its use of a so-called 100-year "century" bond in the sterling market. These and other hyperscalers' recent bond sales have garnered strong reception with Alphabet's $20 billion U.S. bond sale drawing over $100 billion in demand.

X-Energy Reactor Co. , an advanced nuclear company backed by Amazon.com Inc., received federal approval to make uranium fuel for advanced reactors, the first such new license in more than 50 years. The company’s Triso-X unit is already building its first plant and expects to begin fabricating fuel in 2028. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission license issued Friday authorizes the company to build two production facilities at the site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. X-Energy is part of a wave of companies developing the next-generation of reactor technology, including new types of fuel. The Tennessee site will supply so-called Triso pellets, or tristructural isotropic, poppyseed-sized uranium beads that burn hotter and longer than conventional fuel. Triso pellets are fabricated into larger capsules or spheres that are expected to power many of the new reactor designs, using a more potent form of uranium called HALEU.
Victor Golmer Tesla ( TSLA ) saw another electric vehicle sales decline in the U.S. during January, according to state registration data. U.S. sales for the Austin-based company were estimated to be down 17% for the month, which extends a slump from last year and was magnified by the expiration of the federal tax incentive for EV purchases.

Victor Golmer Tesla ( TSLA ) saw another electric vehicle sales decline in the U.S. during January, according to state registration data. U.S. sales for the Austin-based company were estimated to be down 17% for the month, which extends a slump from last year and was magnified by the expiration of the federal tax incentive for EV purchases. Despite the soft month, Tesla ( TSLA ) may have picked up market share because total EV sales are estimated to have fallen over 20% in January. Tesla ( TSLA ) has cut the prices on key models in the U.S. to stoke demand, while other competitors have de-emphasized their EV programs as they look to boost profitability. Looking back, Tesla ( TSLA ) delivered about 1.64M vehicles in 2025, which marked an 8.6% decline from the 2024 tally and its second straight annual drop after 2023’s roughly 1.81M deliveries. After years of rapid expansion, including 38% year‑over‑year growth in 2023, Tesla ( TSLA ) deliveries essentially flattened in 2024 before contracting in 2025 as softer global EV demand, increased competition, and internal model changeovers weighed on volume. Shares of Tesla ( TSLA ) are down just over 6% on a year-to-date basis. The focus by investors on Tesla's ( TSLA ) AI, autonomy, and Elon Musk's other related companies has shifted the narrative further away from just tracking auto deliveries growth.

Tech stocks have been some of the biggest winners in the current bull market. That growth is primarily fueled by the advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), which holds the promise to improve productivity and reduce costs for businesses across practically every industry. For the most part, investors are optimistic about almost every sector of the market. But one tech sector has been headed in the opposite direction recently over fears of how AI could disrupt it. The market has indiscriminately sold off shares of software stocks over the last few months. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (NYSEMKT: IGV) is down 30% since the end of October. But a fear-stricken market may be an incredible opportunity for patient long-term investors. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Buying fast-growing companies and holding their shares for the long run can help investors achieve market-beating returns. That's because growth stocks represent those companies capable of increasing their revenue and earnings at a faster pace than the broader market.
