VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF offers differentiated AI infrastructure exposure by actively targeting supply chain components, not just dominant GPU names like NVIDIA. AIS's Bill of Materials approach yields less concentration—top 10 at 44%—with SK Hynix and Micron jointly at 16% and NVIDIA at just 2%. I see a 12-month price target of $93 (33% upside from ~$70), supported by hyperscaler AI capex forecasts exceeding $600 billion in 2026.

Punters on the prediction platform Polymarket still expect Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) to end July as the world's most valuable company, even after a wobble that briefly cost it the crown.

Traders put the chipmaker's chances at 70%, well ahead of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) on 29%, with Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and the rest of big tech trailing at less than 2% each.

The market has swung sharply this month.

Nvidia's odds have slid 18 points in recent trading, with Apple gaining the same amount, as a sell-off in semiconductor and AI stocks reshuffled the rankings.

The shift followed a dramatic session late last week.

Apple, worth about $4.8 trillion, briefly overtook Nvidia on $4.92 trillion during Friday trading, reclaiming the top spot for the first time since April 2025.

Nvidia shares fell almost 4% at the open before paring losses, as investors questioned whether the vast sums poured into AI infrastructure will pay off.

Those doubts have intensified as OpenAI and Anthropic, two of the most valuable private companies ever, filed to go public.

Nvidia had led the global rankings since June 2025 and in October became the first company to cross $5 trillion.

Apple, by contrast, has been the standout performer of the so-called Magnificent Seven this year, up more than 22%, helped by a warm reception for its redesigned Siri voice assistant.

Its relatively light spending on AI has ironically become a strength as the chip trade unwinds.

The contest remains close, with barely $1 trillion separating the pair at times on Friday.

Volumes on the Polymarket contract have topped $3.1 million, underlining the interest in a rivalry that has come to symbolise the wider debate over AI valuations.

Both companies remain within touching distance of the $5 trillion mark.

Nvidia (NVDA +0.25%) has held the position as the world's biggest company since about a year ago, when it became the first to reach $4 trillion in market value. It soared past former leaders Apple (AAPL 2.11%) and Microsoft. But in recent days, Apple, which hasn't climbed as much as its peers during the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, has been making a comeback.

And on July 17, Apple even slipped ahead of Nvidia to become -- at least for part of the trading session -- the world's biggest company. By the end of the day, though, Nvidia returned to the lead with a value of $4.9 trillion. That's compared to $4.89 trillion for Apple.

As these tech giants vie for the position as the world's biggest company, which is the better buy now? Let's find out.

Nvidia stock has soared more than 300% over the past three years amid excitement about its position in the AI market. The company is the No. 1 designer of graphic processing units (GPUs), the chips used to power AI development and use. This strength, along with Nvidia's full portfolio of related products and services, has generated double- and triple-digit earnings growth in recent years.

For example, in the recent quarter, Nvidia's revenue surged 85% to more than $81 billion, and this was at a high level of profitability on sales, as we can see through the company's gross margin -- that figure has exceeded 70% quarter after quarter.

Nvidia focuses on innovation, pledging to update its GPUs on an annual basis, and this has helped it stay ahead. The company has also steadily expanded its reach in order to make it the key place to go for anything AI. In the latest quarter, Nvidia announced the upcoming release of its first stand-alone central processing unit (CPU), a move that opens the door to a $200 billion market.

Investors have piled into Nvidia's stock in recent years, understanding that an investment in this company should put them on track to benefit from the AI revolution.

The case for Apple Apple shares have advanced -- but not as much as those of Nvidia. Over the past three years, Apple has climbed about 70%. The company has been slower to invest in and apply AI than many of its peers -- for example, it only began rolling out AI features across its devices in the fall of 2024, and the rollout continues. So, investors aiming to get in on potential AI leaders turned away from Apple and chose companies that were investing more aggressively in the space.

This trend, however, hasn't hurt Apple's earnings growth. In fact, the company has proven itself to be a player investors can count on for progress in this area. Apple has a fantastic moat, or competitive advantage, and this is its brand -- customers love the iPhone and won't easily switch to another. In the first quarter, the iPhone 17 was the world's top-selling smartphone, according to Counterpoint Research.

Apple also is benefiting from its sales of services, with services revenue reaching records quarter after quarter. After building up more than 2.5 billion active devices over the years, Apple now can count on these devices for recurrent revenue. When customers sign up for digital entertainment or storage, for example, this represents a regular stream of income for the company.

Today, investors may be turning to Apple as they recognize these strengths and as they seek an alternative to companies heavily exposed to AI.

The better buy? Nvidia and Apple have proven their earnings strength and leadership over time. So either makes a solid long-term investment. But if you could only choose one to buy right now, which one should you go for?

Nvidia clearly beats Apple when it comes to valuation, as we can see in the chart below.

At these levels, the chip giant looks dirt cheap, particularly considering the AI empire it's built and its long-term prospects in the field. It's important to note that even if AI stocks slump temporarily, the AI story remains strong, with the technology already put to use in many areas.

So now is a fantastic moment to get in on Nvidia at these levels. That said, cautious investors who aim to avoid any AI turbulence still may prefer picking up Apple shares, as even at today's level, the stock has room to run.

Tuesday, 3M reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and raised its full year financial outlook.

(c) 

Equity income (loss) in GMNA includes impacts of our portion of impairment charges for EV strategic realignment.

General Motors Company and Subsidiaries
Supplemental Material1
(Unaudited)

General Motors Company (GM) uses both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. Our non-GAAP measures include: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests; earnings before income taxes (EBT)-adjusted for our General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial) segment; earnings per share (EPS)-diluted-adjusted; effective tax rate-adjusted (ETR-adjusted); return on invested capital-adjusted (ROIC-adjusted) and adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions to understand operating performance without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures allow investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve ROIC-adjusted. Management uses these measures in its financial, investment, and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting, and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Further, our Board of Directors uses certain of these and other measures as key metrics to determine management performance under our performance-based compensation plans. For these reasons, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful for our investors. 

EBIT-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net income attributable to stockholders)  EBIT-adjusted is presented net of noncontrolling interests and is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated operating results because it excludes automotive interest income, automotive interest expense, and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. Examples of adjustments to EBIT include, but are not limited to, impairment charges on long-lived assets and other exit costs resulting from strategic shifts in our operations or discrete market and business conditions, and certain costs arising from legal matters. For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP measures, once we have made an adjustment in the current period for an item, we will also adjust the related non-GAAP measure in any future periods in which there is an impact from the item. Our corresponding measure for our GM Financial segment is EBT-adjusted because interest income and interest expense are an integral part of its financial performance. 

EPS-diluted-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Diluted earnings per common share)  EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted EPS results on a consistent basis. EPS-diluted-adjusted is calculated as net income attributable to common stockholders-diluted less adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and certain income tax adjustments divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted. Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or release of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

ETR-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Effective tax rate)  ETR-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review the consolidated effective tax rate for our core operations on a consistent basis. ETR-adjusted is calculated as Income tax expense less the income tax related to the adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and the income tax adjustments noted above for EPS-diluted-adjusted divided by Income before income taxes less adjustments. When we provide an expected adjusted effective tax rate, we cannot provide an expected effective tax rate without unreasonable efforts because the U.S. GAAP measure may include significant adjustments that are difficult to predict. 

ROIC-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Return on equity)  ROIC-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our investment and capital allocation decisions. We define ROIC-adjusted as EBIT-adjusted for the trailing four quarters divided by ROIC-adjusted average net assets, which is the average equity balances adjusted for average automotive debt and interest liabilities, exclusive of finance leases; average automotive net pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period.

Adjusted automotive free cash flow (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net automotive cash provided by operating activities)  Adjusted automotive free cash flow is used by management and can be used by investors to review the liquidity of our automotive operations and to measure and monitor our performance against our capital allocation program and evaluate our automotive liquidity against the substantial cash requirements of our automotive operations. We measure adjusted automotive free cash flow as automotive operating cash flow from operations less capital expenditures adjusted for management actions. Management actions can include voluntary events such as discretionary contributions to employee benefit plans or nonrecurring specific events such as a closure of a facility that are considered special for EBIT-adjusted purposes.

Vehicle Sales

GM presents both wholesale and total vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and market share. Wholesale vehicle sales data consists of sales to GM's dealers and distributors as well as sales to the U.S. Government, and excludes vehicles sold by our joint ventures. Wholesale vehicle sales data correlates to GM's revenue recognized from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive net sales and revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, 26.8% of GM's wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S. The following table summarizes wholesale vehicle sales by our Automotive operations (vehicles in thousands):

Total vehicle sales data represents: (1) retail sales (i.e., sales to consumers who purchase new vehicles from dealers or distributors); (2) fleet sales (i.e., sales to large and small businesses, governments, and daily rental car companies); and (3) certain vehicles used by dealers in their business, including but not limited to courtesy transportation vehicles previously used by dealers that were sold to the end consumer. Total vehicle sales data includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on our percentage ownership interest in the joint venture, including vehicle sales of non-GM trademarked vehicles, which are included in the total vehicle sales we report for China. While total vehicle sales data does not correlate directly to the revenue GM recognizes during a particular period, we believe it is indicative of the underlying demand for GM's vehicles. Total vehicle sales data represents management's good faith estimate based on sales reported by our dealers, distributors, and joint ventures; commercially available data sources, such as registration and insurance data; and internal estimates and forecasts when other data is not available.

New coalition aims to help address America's growing skilled labor shortage and create pathways to high-quality careers across the country

, /PRNewswire/ -- Four leading American companies – BlackRock, Carhartt, Ford Motor Company, and Google – have come together to launch the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, a new initiative focused on expanding access to skilled trades training and helping meet the nation's growing workforce needs. The founding members of the Alliance have already independently committed to supporting skilled workforce training initiatives in 30 states across the U.S.

Credit: Adam Schultz for Ford Motor Company The United States is experiencing a surging demand for skilled workers across industries critical to the country's future, creating a milestone moment for the American people. An estimated 2.1 million skilled trades positions could go unfilled by 2030, including for electrical workers, technicians, and builders. These open roles are vital to supporting critical industries – including infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing – and they offer workers the chance to benefit from the higher wages and greater economic mobility that skilled jobs provide.1 

The skilled trades are not only crucial to a thriving, modern economy, they can be pathways to greater economic mobility, stable employment, and long-term financial security for millions of Americans and their families. Workers in infrastructure-related skilled trades earn above-average wages in the U.S. and often have access to employment benefits like retirement savings and health care – without requiring the cost of a four-year college degree.2 

Through the Alliance, the companies aim to multiply their impact in three key areas:

Build the skilled trades pipeline by broadening access and increasing exposure to the trades for more Americans. By raising awareness and providing clear, accessible pathways into the trades, more people can transition into fields that offer greater stability, higher wages, and create long-term opportunities in their careers and economic impact for their communities. Scale evidence-based workforce development approaches such as investing in apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships programs that create opportunities to earn and learn on the job. These programs are vital options that can enable more American workers to gain critical new skills and economic mobility. The Alliance will also partner with Burning Glass and Jobs for the Future on a report to help measure gaps, track progress, and share best practices. Expand the partnership to like-minded industry, labor, education, and nonprofit organizations to reach more workers and communities across the country. This builds on the existing work we're already doing alongside labor unions, trade associations, and professional organizations across the construction and electrical sectors – institutions that have spent decades building the expertise, local relationships, and pipelines that turn standard jobs into lifelong careers. Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Global Infrastructure Partners, a part of BlackRock, said, "Investment in America's infrastructure will help shape the country's long-term economic trajectory, but its success ultimately depends on the skilled workforce that brings these projects to life. Expanding that talent pipeline requires long-term commitment and partnership across sectors. BlackRock and GIP are proud to launch the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades to support the workers who will build, operate, and maintain the infrastructure that underpins America's future competitiveness."

Linda Hubbard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Carhartt, added, "For more than 137 years, Carhartt has proudly served the skilled men and women who build, repair, and keep America running. Through the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, we're honored to work alongside like-minded organizations to raise awareness of the trades and open more pathways to meaningful careers that strengthen families, communities, and our economy."

Jim Farley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ford, said, "At Ford, we recognize the skilled trades workforce shortage is a national crisis but also a generational opportunity. Skilled trades are at the heart of what we call the Essential Economy, the 95 million Americans who build, move, and fix the things our country depends on every day. You see it across our own business, from the tens of thousands skilled tradespeople and technicians in our plants and dealerships to the millions of workers who rely on Ford Pro vehicles to do the jobs that keep our country running. These vital trades and industries form the backbone of the American economy, and their future is America's future. Ford's work is inseparable from America's, and we are honored to join these great companies who are also committed to securing our nation's future."

Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, said: "Building the physical infrastructure for America's future requires significantly increasing the pipeline of skilled tradespeople across the country – a challenge that can only be addressed with collective action. Google is proud to help launch the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, expanding on our years of investment to both strengthen pathways to enduring opportunities in high-demand careers and increase economic opportunity for communities across the country – powered by collaboration across industry, civil society, and government."

Two and a half centuries ago, America's founders launched a great national experiment. That experiment succeeded beyond what anyone could have imagined—thanks in large part to the skilled workers who actually built the nation. Along the way, they turned hard work into lasting opportunity. By working together, the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades aims to make that dream a reality for a new generation.

NEXT HEADLINE »Allspring Global Investments Holdings LLC Sells 91,994 Shares of Rollins, Inc. $ROL

Wall Street is preparing for three technology earnings reports, but options traders see one as more dangerous than the others.

As per market data, Intel shares (NASDAQ: INTC) are priced for a 13.52% move after Thursday’s results, compared with 9.17% for Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and 6.79% for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) after reports on Wednesday.

Those figures do not predict direction, but show how far each stock could move after results.

Each company faces a different credibility test.

Intel must show that server demand can support its manufacturing turnaround. Alphabet needs to prove AI spending is strengthening Search and Cloud. Tesla must demonstrate that robotaxi ambitions can progress without pressure on margins and cash flow.

Intel’s implied move is above its average 12.4% reaction following the four reports as investors are accustomed to volatility, yet still expect Thursday’s update to deliver a shock.

The bullish argument centres on server-processor demand as companies add computing capacity for AI.

Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland raised his Intel price target to $115 from $80 while retaining a Hold rating.

He expects server demand to support results, even as memory shortages weaken PC production.

Intel guided for second-quarter revenue of $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion and adjusted earnings of 20 cents a share.

A beat may not be enough if foundry losses, manufacturing progress or the full-year outlook disappoint.

Investors want evidence that Intel can attract foundry customers, meet process targets and reduce the burden of factory expansion.

That creates a wide range of outcomes around a stock carrying high turnaround expectations.

Alphabet’s 9.17% implied swing is three times its average 3.24% move over the previous four quarters.

The increase reflects uncertainty over whether investment in data centres, chips and AI models is generating adequate returns.

Truist Securities analyst Youssef Squali remains constructive.

“Search spend remains strong, fuelled by query volume and cost-per-click,” he said in comments reported by Kiplinger.

Squali also expects YouTube advertising growth and stronger Cloud revenue as Alphabet converts its backlog into sales.

Investors will examine whether AI Overviews and Gemini are increasing engagement without weakening Google’s search-advertising economics.

Cloud growth, margins and any revision to capital-spending plans will also matter.

Alphabet’s results extend beyond its shares.

Kevin Mahn of Hennion & Walsh Asset Management told Reuters that any pullback in AI spending could create “ripple effects across the entire AI ecosystem.”

Chipmakers, memory producers and data-centre suppliers depend on hyperscaler budgets remaining strong.

Tesla’s 6.79% implied move is the smallest of the three, but more than double its recent four-quarter average.

Investors are balancing improved deliveries against pressure from vehicle incentives, input costs and spending on autonomy.

Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles during the second quarter.

The report will show whether higher volumes strengthened profits or whether financing promotions and component costs absorbed the benefit.

Bank of America analyst Alexander Perry said attention would remain on robotaxi deployments, particularly the “pace of fleet scaling and new markets.”

Expansion could ease doubts about Tesla’s camera-based autonomous-driving approach.

Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu is more cautious as he expects earnings of 36 cents a share, below estimates, because promotional rates and higher input costs could pressure margins.

HomeIndustriesThe Ratings GameThe Ratings GameJuly 21, 2026, 6:58 a.m. ET

After plunging more than 30% since the start of the year, Morgan Stanley has cut Adobe’s stock rating, warning of three “concurrent transitions.”

The investment bank downgraded the software company, which specializes in creative and marketing tools, from “equal-weight” to “underweight,” reducing its price target by over a third from $365 to $240.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSXV:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF)(FSE:9MM1) ("Metallic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement with Newmont Corporation ("Newmont"), through a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to its participation rights under the Investor Rights Agreement ("IRA") dated May 18, 2023. Newmont subscribed for 3,224,700 units (each, a "Unit") of the Company at a price of $0.28 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $902,916, reflecting the same terms as the Company's recently closed $10.3 million bought deal financing in June.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of 36 months, commencing 61 days following the closing date.

This private placement maintains Newmont's approximately 9.2% ownership interest in the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to advance exploration and development activities at its La Plata copper-silver-PGE-gold and associated critical minerals project in southwestern Colorado, USA, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The recently updated 2026 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate at the La Plata project marks a major milestone for the Company. The updated estimate expands the Inferred resource to 181.4 Mt at 0.36% copper equivalent, containing 1,307 Mlbs of copper and 17.0 Moz of silver (1,455 Mlbs CuEq). This updated estimate incorporates platinum, palladium and gold for the first time, with a 45.4 Mt subset now reporting 91,000 oz Pt, 121,000 oz Pd and 60,000 oz Au totaling ~272,000 oz of platinum group elements plus gold, which along with additional priority critical minerals designated by the U.S. government enhances the overall value and metal diversity of the deposit.

Greg Johnson, Chairman and CEO said, "Newmont has been a valued strategic shareholder since 2023, and we have appreciated the collaboration with their technical team via our IRA technical committee. The recently updated and expanded Allard resource remains open to expansion and the district-scale La Plata project has another 20 developing surface targets, which may represent additional porphyry centers. With these financing activities complete field programs are being initiated with additional updates to follow. The fundamentals for copper and critical minerals remain very strong and underscore La Plata's potential to emerge not only as a significant copper and precious metal (Ag, Au, Pt and Pd) resource, but also as a strategic source of critical minerals in the U.S. that are essential to support advanced technologies, energy transition and domestic economic development."

No fees or commissions were paid related to the private placement. The securities issued under the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day following the closing date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The private placement is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
