Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you.


Dear Reader,

I believe the Trump administration is about to take a direct stake in a tiny $2 stock.

A stock that controls the largest mineral reserve in the country.

This single site has enough gold to establish a new Fort Knox.

Enough silver to build 57 billion AI chips.

Enough copper to rebuild the U.S. electric grid – 25 times over.

Quite simply…

I believe it’s the ultimate “Make America Great Again” stock.

And right now…

You have a chance to learn how to stake your claim.

Before the U.S. government makes its next move.

The only catch is…

You need to act before June 30.

That’s when a landmark policy decision could reprice this stock, overnight.

Causing shares to quickly surge from $2 per share – to $20 or more over the next year alone.

Don’t delay.

Click here to get complete details on what I predict is “Trump’s next big buy”.

Regards,

Jim Rickards

P.S. The Trump administration has taken a direct stake in MP Materials, Lithium America, Trilogy Metals, and USA Rare Earth. Each time, shares sprinted higher.Click here to see why I believe this one is next.

NVIDIA's New Power Play: Why Fluence Is Surging

By Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Posted: 6/5/2026.

Key Points

  • Fluence Energy's technology was integrated into a major industrial blueprint for next-generation NVIDIA-powered artificial intelligence data centers.
  • Its substantial and growing project backlog is supported by new supply agreements with major hyperscale data center operators.
  • Institutional investors have shown strong conviction in Fluence by significantly increasing their positions, signaling a fundamental market re-rating of the business.
  • Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution runs on two things: silicon and electricity. While the market remains fixated on semiconductor designers, the physical constraints of the world’s power grids present a far more immediate bottleneck to hyper-scaling AI.

The staggering power density and volatile load profiles of next-generation AI data centers threaten to overwhelm legacy infrastructure. That creates a structural demand for a new class of enabling hardware, and the market is rapidly re-pricing the companies providing the picks and shovels for this build-out.

AI's Dirty Secret: The Power Bottleneck

Elon’s ‘iPhone’ Could 10x Apple’s iPhone (Ad)

Early Apple investors saw peak gains as high as 7,537% after the iPhone launched. Now, multiple insider sources say Elon Musk is developing a breakthrough technology he describes as '10x bigger than the largest product in history.'

Nvidia's CEO has called it 'the next biggest opportunity after AI,' with potential lifetime sales reaching $20 trillion. A launch date of July 22nd is on the radar for early investors positioning ahead of the announcement.

A standard data center is built for predictable, steady-state power consumption. An AI factory, by contrast, operates at extreme computational intensity, causing massive, dynamic power spikes that can destabilize a local grid.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by building more power plants; it requires sophisticated on-site power management and energy storage to smooth loads, stabilize voltage, and provide uninterrupted, clean power to racks of multi-million-dollar GPUs.

Fluence Energy (NASDAQ: FLNC) has abruptly shifted from a conventional renewable energy storage provider to a mission-critical AI infrastructure supplier within this critical niche. Fluence Energy's recent 44% single-day stock price jump was not a speculative move. It reflected the market digesting a fundamental re-rating of the business, driven by a powerful endorsement from the heart of the AI ecosystem.

How Siemens Put Fluence on the Map

The catalyst that forced this re-evaluation was the unveiling of a new reference architecture by industrial giant Siemens (OTCMKTS: SIEGY). The blueprint details the complete electrical and power infrastructure for a 136-megawatt AI data center built specifically to house the NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) DSX Vera Rubin NVL72 AI supercomputer. This design is not a theoretical whitepaper; it is an industrial-grade template for the global deployment of hyperscale AI facilities.

Within this critical blueprint, Fluence Energy's SmartStack Battery Energy Storage System is named as the prescribed solution. The system is designed to provide the essential load-smoothing and frequency ride-through capabilities needed to manage the intense power demands of AI workloads.

The integration specifies battery durations of up to two or three hours, a significant increase from the industry-standard one hour, signaling the unique demands of AI compute.

This endorsement embeds Fluence Energy directly into the technical sales process for NVIDIA's most advanced systems, fundamentally altering its market position and competitive moat.

Following the Institutional Footprints

While the narrative is compelling, Fluence Energy's recent financials require a nuanced view. Fluence Energy reported second-quarter fiscal year 2026 revenue of $464.9 million. While that marked an 8% year-over-year increase, it fell short of the analyst consensus of $622 million. However, the market has chosen to look past this top-line miss, focusing instead on Fluence's forward-looking pipeline.

The bullish case rests on a record $5.6 billion backlog and a newly disclosed 12-gigawatt-hour pipeline specifically for data center projects. This backlog provides significant revenue visibility and suggests that commercial traction is accelerating. Further validating this demand, Fluence Energy has already secured two Master Supply Agreements with major, unnamed hyperscalers, indicating that the need for its BESS technology is both immediate and bankable.

Fluence Energy's dramatic price action was also amplified by technical factors. Prior to the announcement, Fluence Energy had a significant short interest, with 25.19 million shares, or 13.76% of the public float, sold short. The news from Siemens and NVIDIA triggered a short squeeze as bears scrambled to cover their positions, adding mechanical fuel to the rally.

Perhaps most telling is the activity of institutional investors. The stock boasts approximately 53% institutional ownership, and recent 13F filings reveal significant accumulation by sophisticated asset managers. This smart-money accumulation signals a high degree of conviction in Fluence Energy's strategic pivot.

Valuing the Gatekeepers of AI Power

The core of the investment thesis is the market's re-categorization of the business. Fluence Energy is no longer being valued solely as a cyclical clean-energy hardware vendor. With a forward price-to-earnings multiple now above 100x, the equity is trading at a premium typically reserved for high-growth technology companies providing critical infrastructure.

Investors must, however, remain pragmatic. The Siemens reference design is a powerful engineering endorsement, but it is not a binding, exclusive purchase order. Management now faces the critical task of converting this technical validation and its broader pipeline into recognized revenue. Execution risk remains the primary headwind.

Nonetheless, the combination of a technical moat blessed by NVIDIA, tangible demand confirmed by hyperscaler supply agreements, and a massive backlog provides a robust foundation for the new valuation. Fluence Energy appears poised to directly monetize one of the most significant and durable tailwinds of the next decade: the build-out of the power grid for artificial intelligence.

For investors, the recent price surge, which pushed the 14-day relative strength index above 70, an overbought level, suggests a period of consolidation may be healthy. Investors bullish on the long-term AI infrastructure theme might view Fluence Energy as a key holding to watch, focusing on the ability to execute on its backlog. The key metric moving forward will be the conversion of its pipeline into tangible, profitable growth, proving it can fulfill its new role as a foundational supplier to the AI revolution.

Marvell’s AI Moment Raises a Bigger Question for Amazon and ServiceNow

By Thomas Hughes. Posted: 6/3/2026.

Marvell Technology networking hardware with fiber optic cables installed in a data center rack.

Key Points

  • S&P 500 earnings grew more than 28.5% in Q1 2026, more than doubling pre-season best-case expectations, with the forward outlook also improving.
  • Marvell Technology was the top-upgraded stock of the earnings season, securing a major NVIDIA investment and seeing its analyst consensus rise approximately 75%.
  • Amazon reported its fastest AWS growth in nearly four years at close to 30%, while ServiceNow faced price target reductions despite maintaining a Moderate Buy consensus.
  • Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today

The calendar Q1 2026 earnings reports were incredibly strong. By the end of earnings season, the S&P 500 had grown earnings by more than 28%, more than doubling the best-case scenario presented before the period began.

What’s even more impressive is that the forward outlook also improved, suggesting strength will persist into next year. The takeaway for investors is clear: a robust tailwind is supporting broad market activity, and it may be getting stronger.

A tiny supplier at the center of Elon's AI infrastructure (Ad)

The upcoming SpaceX IPO - reported for June 12 - is valued at $1.75 trillion. But one analyst says fighting over those shares may be the wrong move.

There's a tiny supplier, just 1/60th the size of SpaceX, sitting at the center of what he calls Elon Musk's 'tollbooth' plan for AI infrastructure. Once SpaceX goes public, Wall Street could expose this under-the-radar vendor to a much wider audience.

Watch the urgent presentation to see this hidden stock before the IPO window closestc pixel

Q1 earnings strength was broad-based, but the leading sector was technology—no surprise there. The bigger surprise was the strength seen in companies other than NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).

NVIDIA was strong, no doubt about it. The company has been growing at a hyper pace for more than three years, but spending is shifting to nuts-and-bolts plays, as reflected in the results, and positive feedback loops are forming. As AI infrastructure comes online, applications and new use cases follow, driving additional demand and helping sustain the cycle.

The communications sector was also strong, coming in second with earnings up 50%. The season-end tally is more than 5,000 basis points better than expected, underpinned by results from the Mag Seven and large-cap stocks such as Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). The caveat is that, while AI underpinned their strength, one-offs were also involved.

Either way, the sector and these companies are expected to continue driving index-level strength, as Alphabet and Meta Platforms remain critical to AI and its applications, while Netflix is a category-leading juggernaut that is still not fully flexing its muscles.

The Winner From Q1? Marvell Technology, Hands Down

Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) is the clear winner from Q1.

Not only did the company produce robust results, accelerating on AI demand, but it also secured a major investment from NVIDIA.

NVIDIA sank $2 billion into the company, securing future supply while strengthening its supply chain and preparing for next-generation transitions.

The next transition will be toward more widespread use of photonics and optics, categories in which Marvell excels.

And if that isn’t enough, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang capped off the king-making by later calling Marvell the most likely stock to hit a trillion-dollar valuation.

Marvell is the Most Upgraded stock on MarketBeat’s platform coming out of the reporting period. MarketBeat tracked 48 revisions in the trailing 90 days as of June 1, 2026, which is notable for a stock with 37 analysts covering it. Some analysts issued more than one revision, helping lift the consensus by approximately 75% during the period.

The only bad news is that, with shares trading above $300, the consensus price target of $215 implies substantial downside. Even so, the trend points to the high end of the range and is leading the market.

Assuming Marvell can reach a trillion-dollar valuation, that would represent more than a 4x increase, or roughly 300% upside.

Amazon: Still the Leader in Hyperscale Cloud Business

Hyperscalers are being boosted by AI across the board, including Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).

Its Q1 earnings release revealed the fastest pace of AWS growth in nearly four years, approaching 30%, and it is likely to remain strong due to AI demand.

Among the drivers are its proprietary chips, and the core consumer business is also strong. The takeaway is that Amazon emerged as the second-most-upgraded stock for the period, and the trend points to robust upside in its stock price.

The consensus price target, which has increased by 13% since the start of the reporting period, forecasts 25% upside, with another nearly 50% possible at the high end.

ServiceNow Gets Price Target Reset: Gains Capped for NOW

ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) had a solid quarter, but slowing growth and tepid comps relative to consensus figures sapped market sentiment.

The result has been a wave of price-target reductions that are weighing on price action, but don’t read too much into that.

While numerous price-target reductions have been logged, they are offset by an equally large number of reaffirmed targets, leaving sentiment pegged at Moderate Buy and the consensus pointing to modest double-digit upside.

The likely outcome is that ServiceNow’s stock price will drift near recent lows until later in the year, when more news becomes available.

Catalysts include the shift to usage-based AI pricing and the move toward agentic services. The question is whether those developments will accelerate growth, or whether this large-cap name has seen the last of double-digit gains.

As it stands, analysts and institutions remain optimistic; institutions own more than 80% of the stock and bought aggressively in Q1 when shares were at multiyear lows.
