Market Signal Briefing

There are a few stocks out there with incredible potential that trade at a deep discount to the market.

The Trade Desk has been an excellent performer over the years, but has deserved some, but not all, of its 80% sell-off from all-time highs. I've got three reasons why The Trade Desk is a screaming buy right now, and investors should consider loading up on shares before the deal is gone.

1. A new partner could ignite growth The Trade Desk operates a buy-side ad platform that automatically bids on an advertiser's behalf for where to place an ad on the internet. The ad could appear on a podcast, a video pop-up, or in a connected TV commercial. There is a huge amount of advertising real estate on the internet, and The Trade Desk is a huge partner in ensuring that ad spend is optimized.

One emerging location that hasn't been affected by ads right now is generative artificial intelligence (AI). There is some debate about whether AI should be able to have ads on it, but the reality is that some of these companies may need to implement ads to turn a profit. The biggest generative AI business right now is OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT. Recently, there were reports that OpenAI and The Trade Desk were discussing how to implement ads on the platform. This partnership makes sense because The Trade Desk knows how ad buying works, so ensuring these two are aligned from the start is a big deal.

If The Trade Desk can land this partnership, it would be a huge growth boost for the company, as it would be the only marketplace offering ads on generative AI. This could be one of the best spots to advertise on the internet, and would kick-start the growth that The Trade Desk desperately needs to regain.

2. The stock has a dirt cheap valuation The primary reason The Trade Desk has sold off is due to its growth slowing. In the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk's revenue growth was 14%, but that figure is projected to be 10% in Q1. For a company that's supposed to be at the cutting edge of a massive shift in how advertising is done, this growth rate seems a bit suspect. That's why the market has largely sold off the stock, and it now trades for a dirt cheap 14 times forward earnings.

TTD PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts

For reference, the S&P 500 trades for 21.7 times forward earnings, so The Trade Desk's stock has a huge discount to the broader market.

Considering it's still growing at a market average pace of 10% and not being actively disrupted by AI, and is potentially becoming a partner with one of the primary model makers, this discount seems like a gift to investors.

3. The CEO just spent his own money to load up on shares Nobody is more aware of The Trade Desk's stock price than its CEO, Jeff Green. He recently took action on his stock by purchasing about $150 million worth of shares on the open market. While there may be several reasons for an insider to sell a stock, there's only one reason to buy it. Green is clearly bullish on his company's prospects, and he believes that it's only a matter of time before the stock rises.

I think this trade is a wise move to copy, as The Trade Desk is still positioned to take advantage of the shift to digital advertising. If it can land a deal with OpenAI, the stock could easily double, and that makes for a pretty compelling investment thesis.

Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PomDoctor was the subject of a fraudulent stock promotion scheme involving social media-based misinformation and impersonated financial professionals; (2) insiders and/or affiliates used offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during a price inflation campaign; (3) PomDoctor's public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of the false rumors and artificial trading activity driving the stock price; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about PomDoctor's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why patient investors shouldn't let headline-fueled drops sway their view of Greg Abel.

Key PointsThe clip questions blaming a 5% share drop on Greg Abel for not making instant, flashy CEO moves.

Viewers are urged to look past headlines and focus on fundamentals and capital allocation strategy.

Investors are questioning whether demanding "bold moves" from Greg Abel after one weak quarter truly serves long-term shareholders. Explore how headline-driven reactions, short-term price swings, and Berkshire's patient strategy intersect in the video below.

*This video was published on March 9, 2026.

Nvidia (NVDA 1.56%) has been the top player in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market for the past three and a half years, which isn't surprising, as the massive parallel computing power of its graphics processing units (GPUs) has made them ideal for training and deploying AI models and applications.

Nvidia reportedly controls 81% of the data center chip market, according to IDC. The company's sustained dominance in AI chips can be attributed to the technological advantage of GPUs in performing vast numbers of calculations quickly. As a result, Nvidia's financial performance continues to be impressive even though it is now the world's largest company by market cap.

However, there's another chip designer that's quickly catching up to Nvidia in AI chips: Broadcom (AVGO 4.11%). I predict Broadcom will become as important as Nvidia in this market by the end of the decade.

Image source: Getty Images.

Broadcom's AI revenue is poised to grow at an incredible pace Unlike Nvidia, Broadcom makes custom processors known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These ASICs are designed to perform specific tasks compared to the general-purpose nature of GPUs. The purpose-built nature of ASICs means that they are speedier and more power-efficient compared to general-purpose chips, while being smaller in size.

ASICs are gaining traction in AI data centers, and Broadcom is the leading player in ASICs, with Counterpoint Research expecting it to control 60% of this space by next year. The strong market share explains why the company's AI revenue grew at a terrific pace last quarter.

Broadcom released fiscal 2026 first-quarter results (for the three months ended Feb. 1) on March 4. The company's overall revenue increased by 29% to $19.3 billion. Its AI revenue increased by a whopping 106% year over year to $8.4 billion, accounting for 43% of the top line. That's a big increase over Broadcom's AI revenue share of 27% in the year-ago period.

The good news for investors is that Broadcom anticipates further acceleration in AI revenue this quarter, to $10.7 billion. Even better, Broadcom estimates that it has the potential to achieve more than $100 billion in AI chip revenue in 2027. In the words of CEO Hock Tan on the latest earnings call:

Today, in fact, we have line of sight to achieve AI revenue from chips, just chips, in excess of $100 billion in 2027. We have also secured the supply chain required to achieve this.

That points toward a 5x increase over Broadcom's AI revenue in fiscal 2025 (which ended in November 2025) in a short span of just two years. However, don't be surprised to see Broadcom's AI revenue becoming much bigger by the end of the decade. Bloomberg estimates that Broadcom could control 60% to 80% of the custom ASIC market, driven by its partnerships with the likes of Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta Platforms.

Bloomberg expects AI-focused ASICs to account for 19% of the $600 billion AI chip market in 2033. However, Broadcom's AI revenue forecast suggests that the shift from general-purpose GPUs to custom AI processors is happening at a faster pace. That isn't surprising given the cost and performance advantages of ASICs.

Why Broadcom is likely to become the next Nvidia The remarkable acceleration in Broadcom's AI revenue growth will be driven by the large-scale deployments of its custom AI processors by major hyperscalers and pure-play AI companies. For instance, Anthropic is on track to deploy 1 gigawatt (GW) worth of its custom processors in 2026, followed by more than 3 GW next year.

OpenAI, meanwhile, is expected to buy 1 GW of Broadcom's custom chips next year. Broadcom believes that its next-generation custom AI processors "will scale to multiple gigawatts in 2027 and beyond" at Meta Platforms. For comparison, Anthropic struck a deal with Nvidia to buy 1 GW of compute capacity in November last year. Also, Nvidia has a 10 GW deal with OpenAI to deploy its chip systems, equivalent to the ChatGPT maker's deal with Broadcom that was announced in October last year.

These deals suggest that Broadcom's stature in AI chips is improving rapidly. Moreover, Broadcom's AI revenue is now increasing at a much faster pace than Nvidia's. We saw that Broadcom's AI revenue rose 106% year over year in the most recent quarter (which ended on Feb. 1) to $8.4 billion. For comparison, Nvidia's data center revenue in its most recent quarter (which ended on Jan. 25) increased by 75% from the prior-year period.

Of course, Nvidia reported a record $62.3 billion in data center revenue for the quarter, suggesting an annual revenue rate of almost $250 billion, but Broadcom's faster growth rate and outlook suggest that it is set to catch up rapidly. Specifically, Broadcom's $100 billion AI revenue estimate for next year suggests that it could clock a quarterly revenue rate of $25 billion.

Moreover, the custom AI processor market is poised to grow at an annual rate of 27% through 2033, according to Bloomberg. Broadcom is growing at a much faster pace, a trend that could continue due to its leading position in custom ASICs. If Broadcom can achieve 35% annual growth in AI revenue in 2028, 2029, and 2030, its annual revenue from this segment could hit $246 billion by the end of the decade (using the $100 billion 2027 revenue estimate as the base).

So, Broadcom can indeed achieve Nvidia-like AI revenue by 2030, putting this semiconductor stock on track to deliver more upside to investors, considering that its market cap of $1.5 trillion is almost a third of Nvidia's market cap.

Gartner forecasts that global information technology (IT) spending will hit $6.15 trillion this year, up 10.8% over 2025 levels.

Many of the top tech companies in the world have announced massive increases in their capital expenditure (capex) for 2026 to pay for data center infrastructure.

Amazon announced it planned to spend $200 billion in 2026, $50 billion more than analysts anticipated. Alphabet, Google's parent company, anticipates its capex to double this year.

The infrastructure these and many other companies need to achieve their artificial intelligence (AI) goals is not cheap.

The following two companies ought to be two of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI spending spree set to happen this year.

King of the hill It should come as no surprise that Nvidia (NVDA 1.56%) is set to profit from a massive boost in IT spending.

According to IOT Analytics, Nvidia controls 92% of the data center graphics processing unit (GPU) market. Its next-largest competitor is Advanced Micro Devices, which controls 4% of the market.

While anything in business is subject to change, right now and for the foreseeable future, Nvidia is the GPU kingpin and all the big AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more need Nvidia's hardware.

Even Alphabet still needs Nvidia hardware, despite its competing tensor processing unit (TPU) that Google Gemini is optimized for.

Nvidia's GPUs are so powerful and so critical to AI that they have become the subject of diplomatic negotiations between global superpowers like the U.S. and China.

It's the Nvidia Blackwell chip in particular that has become a major sticking point in relations between the two countries. The U.S. banned the export of the chip to China but there are indicators that DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up, trained its latest model on Nvidia hardware despite that ban.

Whether the report is true and how China got hold of Blackwell hardware is anyone's guess, but it highlights how in-demand Nvidia's products are.

Though, Nvidia's bottom line was already doing a good job showing that.

Per the company's Q4 and full fiscal 2026 results (reported February 25, 2026), Nvidia saw its full-year revenue total a record $215.9 billion, up 65% over its fiscal 2025.

For the quarter, data center revenue came in at $62.3 billion, up 22% over Q3 2026 and 75% over Q4 2025. It also made up the bulk of the $68.1 billion in revenue Nvidia brought in for the quarter.

To top it off, Nvidia runs a net profit margin of 55.6% and has a healthy balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.07.

With numbers like that, I don't see Nvidia's reign coming to an end anytime soon.

Cyberspace for rent While new data centers are springing up incredibly fast, not every company has Amazon or Alphabet money to build their own, nor does every company need an entire data center.

That's precisely why Equinix (EQIX 0.16%) exists. It's a data center real estate investment trust (REIT) that rents space in its 280 data centers in 36 countries around the world to over 10,500 companies, including 310 of the Fortune 500.

And it's the rent Equinix collects that provides the bulk of its revenue. But the company can also facilitate a direct connection between one of its tenants and any of the major cloud networks.

Equinix partners with Microsoft Azure, Amazon's AWS, Google's Cloud, and more. And Equinix's data centers have access to direct hardware connections to all of those clouds.

Using either a physical or virtual connection, any of Equinix's tenants can get a private connection with the network of their choice, offering a faster and more secure way to use cloud infrastructure.

It's a pretty lucrative deal for both Equinix and its investors. As a REIT, Equinix must pay out 90% of its taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders. At present, that dividend yields 2% and the company has increased it for 11 years running.

From 2024 to 2025, it raised the dividend 10% and it's planning to do the same thing in 2026. It's not a particularly tall order as the company's adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) grew 12% year over year in 2025 on the back of 5% revenue growth for the year.

While Nvidia could help you profit from all the companies building their own data centers, Equinix allows you to profit from all those that can't.

Put the two together and you give your portfolio exposure to a good chunk of the $6 trillion in IT spending projected for this year.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 23, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased BellRing securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, BellRing develops, markets, and sells "convenient nutrition" products such as ready-to-drink ("RTD") protein shakes primarily under the brand name Premier Protein. During the Class Period, defendants represented that sales growth reflected increased end-consumer demand, attributing results to "organic growth," "distribution gains," "incremental promotional activity," and "[s]trong macro tailwinds around protein" among other factors. At the same time, defendants downplayed the impact of competition on demand, insisting BellRing was not experiencing any significant changes in competition, and that in the RTD category particularly, BellRing possessed a "competitive moat," given that "the ready-to-drink category is just highly complex" and the products are "hard to formulate." As alleged, in truth, BellRing's reported sales during the Class Period were driven by its key customers stockpiling inventory and did not reflect increased end-consumer demand or brand momentum. Following the destocking, BellRing admitted that competitive pressures were materially weakening demand. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

The Bitcoin price has not particularly impressed over the past two weeks, but it appears to have steadied its movement within a clear consolidation range. In its latest attempt to shine, the premier cryptocurrency faced fierce resistance around $74,000 on Friday, March 13. 

Interestingly, the latest on-chain data suggests that the $74,000 resistance might not be the barrier it appears to be. According to a prominent crypto analyst on the social media platform X, the Bitcoin price seems to have a free runway to return to above the $80,000 mark.

BTC Price Has Free Runway To $82,000: Analyst Market pundit Ali Martinez took to the X platform to share an on-chain insight into the Bitcoin price movement over the coming weeks, with a return to around $82,000 looking more likely with no obstacles. This on-chain observation is based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric, which shows the next relevant levels for BTC.

The URPD metric shows how critical a price level is by tracking the volume of cryptocurrency purchased at a specific level. This is because the capacity for a Bitcoin price level to function as a support or resistance zone usually depends on the number of BTC investors who have their cost basis at the given level.

Typically, price levels below the current spot value with substantial buying activity are often considered major support regions. Meanwhile, levels above the current price with significant investor cost bases usually function as major resistance areas.

Source: @ali_charts on X According to Martinez, the Bitcoin price has entered a low-resistance region, with barely any obstacles in its way until around $82,045. This puts into question the rejection recently faced around the $74,000 mark, which has insignificant investor activity per the UTXO Realized Price Distribution metric.

A move to this next major on-chain resistance would mean an over 17% surge from the current price point, with an upward movement of that magnitude not seen so far this year. However, if the Bitcoin price doesn’t find the bullish momentum necessary to spur a rally toward the $82,000 mark, the next major support cushion sits at around $66,898.

Ultimately, it appears that Bitcoin price might be looking to expand its consolidation range, with $82,000 as the potential upper boundary.

Bitcoin Price Overview As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,820, reflecting a mere 0.5% jump in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency is up by more than 3% in the past seven days.

Institutional interest in XRP exchange-traded funds is still growing, and these ETFS have already taken in more than $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows since launch. Interestingly, the latest regulatory disclosures reveal a surprising name sitting at the top of the list of investors. 

Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street’s most influential investment banks, has quietly accumulated the largest known position in XRP ETFs, placing it ahead of hedge funds and crypto firms. The revelation comes as XRP ETF assets and inflows continue to grow, adding to the conversations about institutional exposure to XRP.

Goldman Sachs Appears As The Largest Known XRP ETF Holder Regulatory disclosures have revealed a surprising name sitting at the top of the list of known institutional holders of Spot XRP ETFs. According to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence, Goldman Sachs currently holds the largest disclosed position in XRP ETFs among institutions required to report their holdings.

Filings show that Goldman Sachs holds roughly $153.8 million in XRP ETF exposure, representing around 83.6 million XRP worth of ETF shares. This puts the Wall Street giant well ahead of other institutional investors that have publicly disclosed their positions.

Behind Goldman Sachs, the next largest disclosed holders include Millennium Management, which holds more than $23 million in XRP ETF exposure, followed by firms such as Citadel Advisors and Logan Stone Capital, each with significantly smaller allocations. These figures come from 13F filings dated December 31, 2025, which provide details of institutional positions held at the end of the year.

XRPUSD now trading at $1.39. Chart: TradingView According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart, XRP ETF demand is still strong compared to the broader crypto market, which has been facing downward pressure since the beginning of the year. Notably, Bloomberg Intelligence data shows cumulative inflows into Spot XRP ETFs rising from roughly $150 million in mid-November 2025 to about $1.44 billion by March 4, 2026.

Most XRP ETF Buyers Are Still Unknown Despite the insights provided by regulatory filings, the publicly disclosed holders represent only a fraction of the actual investor base behind XRP ETFs. Actually, the top 30 disclosed holders of Spot XRP ETF shares only collectively controlled about $211 million in positions at the time of the filings.

Many investors, including smaller funds, family offices, and retail participants, are not required to file 13F reports. As a result, the list of institutional holders revealed through filings captures only a small portion of the total ETF inflows.

Nonetheless, the presence of major firms like Goldman Sachs at the top of the known holder list is an interesting trend to look out for regarding the future of these Spot XRP ETFs. We could start to see more banking firms follow the same path as Goldman Sachs before the end of the year, and XRP ETFs could start playing a larger role in institutional crypto investments.

Thanks to the ongoing market uncertainty, the popular Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.Fun (PUMP) might be poised for a potential downside move. This, after the token surged by 30% over the past two weeks.

However, the altcoin’s next direction remains uncertain. Especially since at the time of writing, its price was sitting at the key make-or-break level of $0.00198.

PUMP fell by over 8.05% in the last 24 hours. Despite this recent bout of depreciation though, the crypto’s trading volume during this period surged by 13% to $124.03 million. This may be a sign of heightened market participation.

In fact, this might also mean that traders and investors are showing interest in the prevailing bearish trend.

PUMP’s price action and key levels to watch  On the daily chart, PUMP formed a bearish flag-and-pole pattern, with the altcoin’s price hovering near the lower boundary of the formation. Historically, whenever the memecoin has formed such a pattern, it has recorded a notable price dip soon after. 

Source: TradingView If PUMP breaches this bearish pattern and closes a daily candle below the $0.00196-level, it could see a 15% price drop and may even hit the $0.00166-level in the coming days.

On the contrary, this bearish thesis could be invalidated if PUMP’s price remains within the pattern.

An upside move would only be possible if it clears the key hurdle at the $0.00215-level. This zone has acted as a strong resistance for the asset since February 2026.

That’s not all either as the Average Directional Index (ADX), which measures trend strength, had a reading of 13.59, well below the key threshold of 25. This hinted at a weak directional trend for PUMP.

Mixed sentiments across the board? Looking at the market structure and broader sentiment, some might seize the current dip as an opportunity for long-term holding. On the other hand, short-term players have continued to follow the prevailing trend by eyeing the bearish side.

In fact, just recently, a popular crypto expert shared that “Whales are selling BTC to buy PUMP through Wintermute.” The post gained widespread attention as it suggested the crypto might have strong long-term potential.

Source: X/TalonXBT Analytics platform Nansen also revealed that amid this uncertainty, while retail investors reduced their PUMP holdings by 235.46 million (equivalent to 6.11%), whales increased their holdings by 14.27 billion (equivalent to 18.23%). This, over the past seven days alone. 

Source: Nansen Besides these bullish developments, Coinglass highlighted that traders may be eyeing the $0.00194-level on the downside and $0.00213 on the upside.

At these levels, traders have built $1.39 million in long-leveraged positions and $4.57 million in short-leveraged positions. This hinted at a stronger bearish bias in the market.

Source: Coinglass When combining these analytics and derivatives data points, it would seem that PUMP’s short-term market sentiment might be bearish.

That being said, across higher timeframes, there remains some strong upside potential in the memecoin. 

Final Summary With an 8.05% drop, PUMP might be on the verge of breaching a bearish pattern. Sentiment remains mixed across PUMP’s investors and traders depending on the timeframes.

Bitcoin’s extended pullback from its all-time high has left traders in uncertainty, and many investors are unsure whether the worst of the decline has already passed. 

One analyst known as Jelle on X is of the notion that the conversation may be missing an uncomfortable reality that Bitcoin bear markets often become far more painful than most participants expect. The price data, he argues, supports a more concerning interpretation of how Bitcoin’s current pullback will play out.

Current Bitcoin Decline Still Smaller Than Previous Bear Markets Crypto analyst Jelle issued an interesting warning to investors who may be underestimating the depth and duration of Bitcoin bear markets. In a post on X, Jelle noted that Bitcoin is currently down roughly 44% from its all-time high of $126,080, with the February local bottom around $63,000 registering a 53% decline from the peak. These sound severe on the surface. However, they are  relatively modest against the historical record.

Historical data shows that Bitcoin’s previous bear markets pushed the asset much deeper below its peak. The market collapse following the 2017 rally eventually erased about 84% of Bitcoin’s value, while the bear market that followed the 2021 cycle bottomed near a 77% decline.

A review of the chart Jelle shared, which is shown below, illustrates just how consistent the cyclical structure has been. Since 2014, Bitcoin has oscillated through periods of sustained accumulation and declines. Each bull run lasts approximately 150 to 152 weeks, and each bear market persists for anywhere between 52 and 58 weeks.

The current bear phase, by that measure, is well short of the duration at which prior cycles found their floors. Projecting the bear market phase from the October 2025 all-time high would put the current correction lasting until sometime around October 2026.

“Unfortunately, I think there is more pain ahead for BTC,” Jelle said.

The RSI Is Telling Investors To Wait The analyst also examined Bitcoin’s relative strength index indicator, which has repeatedly provided clues about when bear markets are nearing completion, in another post. Jelle observed that every previous bear market eventually bottomed when the weekly RSI dropped below the 37 level. Once the indicator crosses below that threshold, it often falls further before the Bitcoin price reaches its final low.

BTCUSD now trading at $70,645. Chart: TradingView Bitcoin has declined roughly 30% since the RSI first moved below that level in the current cycle. That decline is smaller than what occurred in earlier cycles, though not enough to stand out as a clear anomaly given the limited number of examples.

More important, according to Jelle, is the pattern that forms near the end of a bear market. The final low usually appears when the RSI creates a higher low close to the level recorded during the previous bottom. That higher low can occur alongside either a lower price low or a higher price low.

When price forms a lower low but RSI prints a higher low, the price action produces a bullish divergence on the weekly chart. That signal has always preceded the transition from bear market conditions into the next accumulation phase. Until that structure becomes visible, patience is the best approach.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, said he has always feared that Bitcoin is a “giant Ponzi scheme,” with the latest stories around the cryptocurrency appearing to prove him right.

Former Prime Minister Johnson Calls Pokémon Cards A Better Bet Than BTC  In a March 13 Daily Mail column, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson shared his thoughts about Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. According to the former political leader, Bitcoin and other crypto assets are a Ponzi scheme because they lack intrinsic value and sufficient real-world uses.

Johnson argued that Bitcoin relies on the “greater fool” theory and is sustained by the collective belief that endless new buyers will emerge. Sharing the story of an aggrieved local investor, the former UK leader warned that ordinary people are increasingly falling victim to crypto-related fraud.

Johnson compared the flagship cryptocurrency to traditional stores of value, such as gold and fiat currency, while claiming that Pokémon cards are a safer long-term bet than the world’s largest cryptocurrency. While noting the historic allure of gold and the sentimental value of vintage Pikachu cards, the former Prime Minister called Bitcoin “strings of numbers” with no central authority or accountability.

In fact, Johnson argued that decentralization, a unique selling point of cryptocurrencies, is their greatest weakness. In his Daily Mail column, the former Mayor of London predicted that the eroding confidence — especially among regular people — will be the cause of Bitcoin’s end.

Interestingly, contrary to his latest comments in his Daily Mail column, Johnson’s own administration was quite instrumental in opening the UK’s doors to the digital asset industry. In April 2022, the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, unveiled a significant initiative to make the United Kingdom a “global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment.”

Bitcoin Is Not A Ponzi Scheme: Michael Saylor Expectedly, Johnson’s comments about the premier cryptocurrency sparked interesting reactions from different corners of the crypto community. Strategy’s founder and chairman, Michael Saylor, produced one of the loudest rebuttals to the former Prime Minister’s claims.

Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones. Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) March 13, 2026

Saylor, in a reply on X (formerly Twitter), said that Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. Using the definition of a Ponzi scheme, the Strategy chairman reiterated that the flagship cryptocurrency has no “central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones,’ as often required by Ponzi schemes.

Saylor wrote:

Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.

Saylor has been one of the most vocal supporters of Bitcoin, with his company’s steady acquisition a proof of his belief in Bitcoin’s long-term promise. As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,590, reflecting a 1.4% decline in the past 24 hours.

The Ethereum Foundation announced today it executed an OTC sale of 5,000 ETH to Bitmine, the largest Ethereum treasury firm led by Thomas “Tom” Lee.

0/ Today, the Ethereum Foundation finalized the terms of a 5,000 ETH sale at an average price of $2,042.96 via OTC.

For this sale, our OTC counterparty was @BitMNR.

— Ethereum Foundation (@ethereumfndn) March 14, 2026

The EF plans to use proceeds from the sale to support its ongoing activities, including protocol research and development, ecosystem growth initiatives, and community grant programs.

The Foundation still holds approximately 170,000 ETH worth around $356 million, according to Arkham Intelligence data. The entity has begun staking its treasury ETH, starting with 2,016 in February and planning to stake about 70,000 ETH in total.

Bitmine has steadily accumulated ETH since launching its treasury strategy last June. The company’s holdings have exceeded 4.5 million units, valued at $9.5 billion at current market prices.

Over 3 million ETH is currently staked, producing annualized staking revenues of roughly $174 million, with potential to reach $259 million when fully deployed through its upcoming MAVAN validator network.

Ethereum Foundation outlines mission and principles in new EF Mandate The sale follows the Foundation’s recent release of the EF Mandate, a document defining its role and guiding philosophy in supporting the development of Ethereum.

The foundation said its primary responsibility is safeguarding Ethereum’s commitment to user self-sovereignty.

The mandate says the network must remain censorship-resistant, open source, private, and secure, while emphasizing that the foundation is one steward among many, not the network’s authority.

With all eyes on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, United Parcel Service (UPS 0.69%) investors will be wondering how the conflict could affect the company in 2026. The answer is that there could be a significant impact, but perhaps not in the way that many investors think. Here are five things investors should keep in mind about UPS.

1. and 2. UPS, oil prices, and fuel surcharges With oil prices spiking due to the conflict, it's natural that investors might be concerned about UPS' fuel costs. In reality, UPS does have exposure to fuel costs, but perhaps not in the way most investors think. First, fuel costs of $4.3 billion in 2025 accounted for only 5.3% of its total operating expenses of $80.8 billion.

Image source: Getty Images.

Second, UPS applies fuel surcharges weekly based on jet, kerosene, and diesel fuel prices. Moreover, in recent years, the fuel surcharge has more than offset fuel costs. In other words, UPS fuel surcharges aren't just reflecting fuel cost changes; they've become a net contributor to profit margins.

If that continues in the current environment, then higher fuel prices, all things being equal, could be a net benefit to UPS.

3. All things are not being equal While direct fuel costs aren't a major problem, UPS is likely to suffer in the current environment. The company purchases transportation from third-party carriers, which accounted for 13.1% of its costs in 2025. Given a protracted increase in fuel costs, these carriers will likely raise their surcharges, leading to a corresponding increase in purchased transportation costs.

4. Rerouting traffic will also increase costs Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and other key Middle Eastern transport corridors, including the Jebel Ali port in Dubai, will likely increase UPS's costs, primarily through higher purchased transportation expenses.

5. UPS could see demand destruction Global trade conflicts, specifically those that cause inflation, are not good news for package delivery companies. Of particular note, UPS's small- and medium-size-business customers are already experiencing the impacts of tariffs on their businesses as they adjust product sourcing.

Moreover, many of them will have reduced previously acquired inventory through 2025, and the last thing they need right now is more trade disruptions amid inflation. Consequently, UPS could see some impact on delivery volume in the quarter.

UPS in 2026 The conflict is highly likely to adversely affect UPS stock in 2026, but it's hard to tell how lasting the impact will be. On a positive note, UPS could likely handle relatively high oil prices if trade lanes reopen and inflationary pressures abate, but a combination of all three difficulties will hurt its volume and profitability, making it a stock exposed to a protracted conflict.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Class A common stock of NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) between May 13, 2025 and November 6, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased NuScale Class A common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the NuScale class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=19967 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ENTRA1 Energy LLC ("ENTRA1") had never built, financed, or operated any significant projects- let alone projects in the highly technical and complicated field of nuclear power generation during its entire operating history; (2) NuScale had entrusted its commercialization, distribution, and deployment of its NuScale Power Module ("NPMs") and hundreds of millions of dollars of NuScale capital to an entity that lacked any significant prior experience owning, financing, or operating nuclear energy generation facilities; (3) the purported experience and qualifications attributed to ENTRA1 by defendants during the Class Period in fact referred to the purported experience and qualifications of the principals of the Habboush Group, a distinct entity without significant experience in the field of nuclear power generation; and (4) as a result, NuScale's commercialization strategy was exposed to material, undisclosed risks of failure, delays, regulatory challenges, or other negative setbacks. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the NuScale class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=19967 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Nuclear energy has been enjoying something of a renaissance in recent years. The United States, Japan, South Korea, China, and India are all investing heavily in expanding their nuclear reactor fleets and/or resuscitating decommissioned reactors.

Thus far, that demand for nuclear power was in large part driven by the power needs of data centers.

But the current volatility with oil due to the possibility of the Strait of Hormuz being closed or even possibly mined likely has many more countries looking into more nuclear power if they weren't already.

Fortunately for investors tired of oil volatility, there are several companies operating in the nuclear industry that are worth a look. Here are some of the best.

Image source: Getty Images.

Fueling the future Up first is Canada's Cameco (CCJ 6.40%), which is one of the largest uranium miners in the world.

It was responsible for 15% of all the uranium produced globally last year. It's the second-largest uranium miner in the world, behind only Kazatomprom, Kazakhstan's state-run miner.

Cameco operates both the largest high-grade uranium mine in the world at McArthur River and has one of the highest-grade uranium mines in the world at Cigar Lake.

On the back of uranium's 34% price growth over the past year, Cameco generated revenue of $3.4 billion, up 11% over 2024. It's also worth nothing that prior to the Iran conflict, uranium was the only energy resource that had gone up over the past year.

And, for operating in an industry as capital-intensive as mining is, Cameco still manages a net profit margin of 16.9% and has a very healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14.

But Cameco does more than just mine uranium, though that is the core of its business and where it generates the bulk of its revenue.

The company also operates a uranium refinery and fuel production facilities, and it holds 49% of Westinghouse.

Westinghouse, which Cameco holds as a joint venture with Brookfield Asset Management, is an engineering company that designs and builds nuclear reactors like the AP1000, which is the most advanced commercially available reactor on the market.

With Cameco you have an investment in almost every part of the nuclear fuel production cycle, from the mines to the reactors to the uranium powers.

Pint-sized power plants One of the most interesting developments in nuclear technology in recent years has been small modular reactors (SMRs), which are miniaturized nuclear power plants that could potentially power data center clusters and remote facilities.

And one of the best companies working on SMRs has over seven decades of experience building small-scale nuclear reactors: BWX Technologies (BWXT 1.68%).

Since the 1950s, when it designed components for America's first nuclear submarine, BWX has produced over 400 naval nuclear reactors. And, while there are currently no SMRs up and running anywhere in the world, BWX's BANR power plant is one of the most promising prototypes and would be capable of generating 50 megawatts of power from a factory-built plant a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear plant.

There are other SMR companies developing the technology, but many of them are small companies that are solely focused on SMR technology. For BWX it's a project and not the core of its business.

So, BWX has reliable and growing revenue and is not reliant on an influx of investor dollars or a contract coming through to build its SMRs. That makes it a less risky prospect than pure-play SMR companies.

Speaking of, that revenue came in at $3.19 billion last year, up 18% over 2024 and the company's earnings per share (EPS) grew 20% over the same period. The company also maintains a strong net margin of 10.3%.

BWX is a leader in small reactor technology and a safer way to play the potential of SMRs than many of its competitors.

Star power Finally, there's Constellation Energy (CEG +0.18%), which is the largest green energy producer in the United States and the country's largest producer of nuclear power.

There are currently 94 nuclear reactors in the United States spread across 54 power plants that collectively generate 20% of the country's electricity. Constellation operates 21 of them, or a little over 1/5 of America's entire nuclear reactor fleet.

For 2025, Constellation saw a solid revenue increase of 8% over 2024 and the company's adjusted operating EPS also grew 8%. It also maintains a net margin of 9.1% and pays a dividend that yields 0.83% at current prices.

And, the company announced a 10% increase in its dividend per share at the end of 2025 with another 10% increase planned this year.

With these three stocks, you give your portfolio exposure to every part of the nuclear industry, from the uranium mine to the reactor to the generation of power, and you'll be set to profit from nuclear energy's renaissance.

You may soon be able to invest in Bill Ackman's hedge fund. The billionaire filed to make Pershing Square shares publicly traded in a dual initial public offering (IPO) of the hedge fund and a new closed-end fund. You could get a small stake in the hedge fund management company if you commit to buying a share of the new closed-end fund. The incentive is designed to offset the likely drop in the fund's share price once it starts trading. Most closed-end funds trade at a discount to their net asset value.

But you don't have to wait for Ackman's IPO to follow the billionaire's investments. His strategy involves buying and holding a concentrated portfolio of undervalued companies for relatively long periods. So investors can use recent filings to reasonably guess what Ackman's currently holding in Pershing Square's portfolio.

Based on the company's most recent disclosures, including its annual report from last month, about 48% Ackman's managed stock portfolio is invested in just three outstanding companies.

1. Brookfield Corp. (17.5%) Ackman sees two important factors to like about Canadian conglomerate Brookfield Corp. (BN 1.01%).

First, it has a burgeoning annuities and insurance business, Brookfield Wealth Solutions. The business is an investment-led insurance group in much the same vein as Berkshire Hathaway or what Ackman aims to build at Howard Hughes Holdings. With $120 billion in invested assets as of the end of 2025, management plans to grow that amount to $600 billion over time. The recent addition of Just Group will push it to about $180 billion.

The second factor is the expected step-up in carried interest income from its asset management business. Brookfield doesn't recognize profits on its assets under management until after it's returned all invested capital to each new fund's shareholders and delivered a preferred return on that capital. That creates a waterfall of carried interest income years after a fund's initial launch. This year is expected to see a meaningful step-up in carried interest for Brookfield, leading to a significant increase in distributable earnings for the business.

Ackman expects Brookfield's total distributable earnings to climb 25% this year, in line with management's annualized target from its investor day in September. With the stock trading for just 18 times last year's distributable earnings, shares still look like a bargain at their current price.

2. Uber (15.9%) Uber (UBER +0.51%) stock has been weighed down by the potential disruption of its business from self-driving cars and robotaxi services. However, Ackman believes those fears are overblown, leading the stock to trade at an attractive valuation.

Indeed, Uber appears to be a key partner for autonomous vehicle companies. It's signed multiple deals with Alphabet's (GOOG 0.56%) (GOOGL 0.42%) Waymo, to launch robotaxis on its platform in multiple cities. It recently signed a deal with Amazon's Zoox to bring its cars onto its platform in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Early results from Uber show incremental use when it launches autonomous vehicles on its platform, suggesting its partnerships are mutually beneficial.

In the meantime, Uber's core ridesharing and delivery business is showing the strength of its network. Trips climbed 22% year over year last quarter, driven by user growth and increased trip frequency. The business continues to show operating leverage as it s, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin rising to 4.6%, driving 35% year-over-year EBITDA growth. Management expects similar improvements in the current quarter.

Uber shares currently trade at less than 23 times analysts' estimates for this year's earnings. Considering the company is set to grow revenue by about 20%, and show continued operating leverage, that price reflects the questionability of Uber's earnings durability. Ackman's betting that the autonomous vehicle industry won't be a winner-take-all market, and that Uber will play an important role as a demand aggregator for self-driving cars.

3. Alphabet (14.8%) Alphabet has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the recent advancements in artificial intelligence.

The core Google search business has benefited in a couple of key ways. First, Alphabet has been able to implement AI Overviews into more and more search results over time. The product provides an AI-generated response to a search query and has increased engagement with the search engine since launch. Importantly, management says search queries with AI Overviews monetize at the same rate as those without it.

On top of that, generative AI tools can help its advertising business. Management says its Gemini models are better at understanding search intent, improving the effectiveness of its ad targeting. Additionally, it's providing tools to marketers to help generate new ad campaigns. As a result, Google Search ad revenue accelerated throughout 2025.

Alphabet's Google Cloud platform has seen a huge increase in demand for compute amid the AI boom. Alphabet has been developing its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) custom AI accelerator chips for years, and it's seeing strong customer demand. Anthropic even contracted to use the custom chips in its own data centers. Google Cloud revenue grew 48% year over year in the final quarter of 2025 and showed strong operating leverage. Operating margin expanded to 24% in the most recent quarter.

Alphabet is spending heavily to meet demand for its cloud computing services and its own compute requirements. Management guided for $175 billion to $185 billion in capex for 2026. That will weigh on its free cash flow, and it could slow its share repurchases. However, with the stock currently trading for 27 times earnings, it looks like a fair price to pay for the company.

Optimism around BYD Company Ltd (BYDDY 0.89%) often centers on scale, exports, and technological ambition. But scale alone doesn't guarantee shareholder returns.

Since we have looked at the base and bull cases for BYD, let's now consider the final scenario. The bear case for the next three years isn't a dramatic collapse -- it's something quieter and potentially more damaging: structural margin compression, underwhelming overseas execution, and optionality that fails to translate into profits.

Image source: Getty Images.

Price wars become structural, not temporary. The most significant risk to BYD isn't declining demand. It's persistent margin pressure.

If China's EV market remains oversupplied and competitive -- new entrants continue to undercut on price and established players fight for market share, BYD will have no choice but to follow suit. Worse, if such environment persist, consumers may grow accustomed to discounts, making future price raising decisions difficult.

In that environment, BYD's cost leadership -- due to economies of scale -- may protect it from losses, but not from margin erosion. Consequently, net profit margin could remain at low single digits or fall even lower if competition worsen. In the latter scenario, even higher sales volume may fail to grow profits since margin compression will offset revenue growth.

While it may be overly pessimistic to imagine an environment of ongoing brutal competition, investors should be reminded that the Chinese market is extremely competitive, so there is a possibility for that to happen.

Overseas expansion proves more challenging than expected Global expansion looks compelling on paper. But in the bear case, BYD's execution fails to keep up with ambition -- a possible scenario since the company has to compete in unfamiliar markets.

In this scenario, overseas factories fail to ramp up as planned. Meanwhile, factory utilization rates may also remain low due to slower than expected local demand growth.

Here, instead of diversifying risk, global expansion introduces new cost burdens. Higher labor expenses, compliance costs, and political friction offset logistical savings. Returns on invested capital weaken as capex rises faster than earnings.

In this bear scenario, global growth doesn't break the China dependency; it adds complexity without delivering sufficient profit uplift.

Software and energy fail to move the needle Another area to consider is BYD's software and energy businesses. The bull case assumes that software monetization and energy storage become meaningful profit drivers. Here, the bear case assumes they don't.

In this scenario, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) remain bundled at low cost to defend market share. Consumers resist subscription pricing, and recurring revenue stays minimal. This outcome is possible, given that BYD has offered its ADAS for free currently, so it may find it difficult to convince customers to pay in the future.

Meanwhile, the energy storage business may face challenge in growing its share in the next few years as it operates in a increasingly more competitive and capital intensive market.

In short, BYD remains diversified with these new ventures, but not differentiated. And without differentiation, the company's margin (and earnings) profile stays tightly tied to vehicle economics.

What does it mean for investors? The bear case for BYD isn't about failure. It's about stagnation. The company continues selling millions of vehicles. It remains globally relevant. But margins and return on capital remain low.

Personally, I think the bear case is probably too pessimistic, while the bull case overly optimistic. What is more likely to unfold is something in between.

Still, as investors, we must be able to envision different scenarios and prepare to embrace either of them. Only then we can make the most rational decision on whether to buy, hold, or sell the stock.
