NEW YORK, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kuehn Law, PLLC, a shareholder litigation law firm, is investigating whether certain officers and directors of Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIVN) breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders.
According to a federal securities lawsuit, Insiders at Five9 caused the company to misrepresent or fail to disclose that: (i) Five9’s net new business was not “strong irrespective of the macro” and was, in fact, hampered by macroeconomic issues such as constrained and scrutinized customer budgets; (ii) Five9 was in the midst of a challenging bookings quarter due, in part, to sales execution and efficiency issues, and the Company was not “seeing very strong bookings momentum”; and (iii) insiders did not have “enough information in terms of [their] existing customers that are going live” such that the statements that Five9 would see a positive inflection in its dollar-based retention rate lacked a reasonable basis.
If you currently own FIVN and purchased prior to February 21, 2024 please contact Sophia Anne Silayan by email at [email protected] or call (833) 672-0814. Kuehn Law pays all case costs and does not charge its investor clients. Shareholders should contact the firm immediately as there may be limited time to enforce your rights.

The American starter home, once a symbol of accessible homeownership, has crossed into seven-figure territory in a growing number of metros. According to Katie Hubbard, president of U.S. Capital Markets at Walton Global, 268 U.S. cities now have entry-level homes priced at $1 million, concentrated mostly in California and New York. According to Zillow, the number of U.S. cities where the typical starter home carries a $1 million price tag has climbed from 80 in 2020 to 268 today.
In a recent Bloomberg Businessweek segment, Hubbard, whose firm she describes as managing $4.4 billion in land assets across 90-plus countries, walked through why affordability continues to deteriorate even as builders are growing more confident in housing demand.
Why Builders Are More Optimistic Than Headlines Suggest Hubbard argues homebuilders are more bullish than recent figures suggest. She pointed to new home sales of 583,000, down 7%, but noted builders are aggressively buying finished lots and shifting away from speculative building toward build-to-order. The result is fewer starts overall, with builders targeting buyers who can afford the monthly payment. She added that higher-end homes around $950,000 are selling well, often to cash buyers, which helps explain why median price points keep climbing while volumes soften.
On the regulatory side, Hubbard contends federal legislation has limited power to fix supply. She cited institutional investors owning less than 1% of single-family homes, down from a peak of 3% in 2022, a figure she says undermines a premise behind a bill Trump declined to sign.
The real bottleneck, in her view, is local zoning, where approvals can take 3-5 years and add thousands of dollars per home. Hubbard described that drag as “more significant to housing affordability than a 50 basis point rate cut.” She pointed to Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas dominating new construction thanks to lighter regulation.
How Lennar Is Navigating Today’s Housing Market Hubbard singled out homebuilder Lennar (NYSE:LEN | LEN Price Prediction) as the clearest illustration of how big builders are responding, noting the company is delivering 20,000 homes per quarter by deliberately compressing margins to maintain volume.
In its Q2 fiscal 2026 report, Lennar posted revenue of $7.94 billion and EPS of $1.24, with gross margin on home sales of 15.6%, compressed from 17.8% a year earlier. Average sales price fell to $371,000, well below the $1 million starter-home benchmark Hubbard cited.
Lennar’s CEO, Stuart Miller, framed the trade-off directly: “Our strategy consistently has been to execute around the affordability challenge rather than wait it out. We have prioritized volume to create durable scale advantages, to deliver that volume at lower prices, and ultimately improve margins.” Lennar is leaning on buyer incentives, which are running at 12.9% versus a normalized range of 4% to 6%, alongside rate buydowns to keep monthly payments within reach.
Why Housing Affordability Remains Under Pressure The challenges Hubbard described are visible across today’s housing market. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.50% as of June 23, 2026, ranking in the 94th percentile over the past year and keeping mortgage rates elevated. On Lennar’s earnings call, CEO Stuart Miller said the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate remains between 6.4% and 6.5%.
At a 6.5% mortgage rate, he noted, a household earning the median family income is spending more than 30% of its gross income on housing. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment fell to 49.8 in April 2026, approaching recessionary territory, while housing starts declined to 1.18 million units in May, consistent with Hubbard’s view that builders are pulling back on speculative construction.
Homebuilders like Lennar illustrate both the opportunity and the challenge in this industry. The stock traded at $93.30 as of June 25, 2026, down 8.71% year-to-date and 15.24% over the past year, while trading at a trailing P/E of 14. The company continues to sacrifice margins to keep home sales moving, even as high mortgage rates, restrictive zoning, and weak consumer confidence weigh on affordability. Hubbard argues that local zoning reform, not federal legislation, will ultimately determine how quickly new housing supply can increase or whether the list of 268 U.S. cities with $1 million starter homes will continue to grow.
Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds sellers of common stock of ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) between February 29, 2024 and April 1, 2024 (the "Class Period"), of the important July 14, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
So what: If you sold ChampionX 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 ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join 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 July 14, 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 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 billions 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 failed to disclose material information, which artificially deflated the price of ChampionX common stock. On February 29, 2024, ChampionX received an unsolicited non-public offer from Schlumberger Limited to purchase all the outstanding shares of ChampionX for $36.70 per share. On March 7, 2024, Schlumberger raised its offer to $37.80 per share. The lawsuit alleges that while these offers were on the table and unknown to the investing public, ChampionX was repurchasing its common stock at market prices significantly below the prices offered by Schlumberger. ChampionX had an obligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Schlumberger or abstain from purchasing ChampionX stock from unsuspecting investors. During the Class Period, ChampionX's average stock price was $33.32 per share. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, during pre-market hours, ChampionX disclosed the merger with Schlumberger. The merger eventually closed on July 16, 2025, with Schlumberger acquiring ChampionX for $40.58 per share.
To join the ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join 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.

The surge in power demand from artificial intelligence and data centers has put the energy sector in the spotlight. Investors are now deciding between Constellation Energy (CEG +0.16%) and GE Vernova (GEV +2.30%) for their portfolios.
Constellation Energy focuses on clean power generation through its massive nuclear fleet, while GE Vernova provides the essential turbines and grid technology needed to distribute power globally. Both companies play vital roles in modernizing energy infrastructure, making them favorites among investors interested in electric utility stocks and carbon-free generation.
Constellation Energy operates as the largest producer of carbon-free energy in the United States, primarily through its extensive nuclear fleet. The company serves roughly 2.5 million customer accounts, including 75% of the Fortune 100 companies. Major agreements include a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft (MSFT 3.66%) to restart the Crane Clean Energy Center and a deal with Meta Platforms (META 2.66%) for the Clinton plant.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $25.5 billion, representing an 8.3% increase over the previous year. The company reported a net income of approximately $2.3 billion for the period. While revenue grew, the net margin, which measures how much profit a company keeps for every dollar of sales, fell to nearly 9.1% from roughly 15.9% in FY 2024.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is roughly 0.6x, which compares total d
ebt to shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures the ability to cover short-term debts with current assets, is approximately 1.5x. Free cash flow, calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, was nearly $1.3 billion for the year.
The case for GE VernovaGE Vernova provides the essential hardware and software for the global power grid, including an installed base of over 7,000 gas turbines and 59,000 wind turbines. The company sells to global utilities, governments, and large industrial users such as Amazon (AMZN 3.38%). Recent strategic moves include acquiring the remaining 50% stake in Prolec GE and purchasing Robotech Automation to enhance grid automation capabilities.
For FY 2025, the company generated close to $38.1 billion in revenue, reflecting growth of roughly 8.9%. Net income for the year was approximately $4.9 billion, a substantial improvement over previous periods. The net margin finished at nearly 12.8%, up from a net loss just two years prior.
On the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.0x, indicating the company has no total debt relative to its shareholder equity. The current ratio is approximately 1.0x, which measures the ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. Free cash flow for the year was strong at nearly $3.7 billion, providing capital for further expansion.
Risk profile comparisonConstellation Energy faces significant integration risks following its acquisition of Calpine, which added 23 gigawatts of capacity to its fleet. The company must also manage volatile wholesale market prices that can cause earnings to fluctuate. Additionally, its nuclear operations require ongoing license extensions from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and continued federal support to remain financially viable.
GE Vernova deals with the complexities of long-cycle fixed-price contracts, where inflationary pressures can lead to cost overruns and lower profitability. The business is also exposed to supply chain disruptions for critical materials, often involving geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, the company faces competition from global giants like Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries while navigating complex international trade regulations.
Valuation comparisonConstellation Energy appears more attractively valued based on its Forward P/E, which compares the stock price to future earnings estimates, while its P/S ratio is also lower.

Which stock would I buy in 2026?While both companies benefit from AI and data centers due to their massive electricity demands, they have different business models. They offer exposure to different segments of the energy industry, and investors’ choice between the two depends upon their own goals and risk tolerance.
Constellation Energy is the largest producer of carbon-free nuclear energy in the U.S. It has long-term agreements with major tech companies to provide power for their operation and should benefit from that growing demand. The company is seeing strong cash flow and pays a regular dividend, making it appealing to investors who prefer a more defensive approach.
By contrast, GE Vernova is positioning itself to capitalize on this growing energy demand differently. Rather than producing energy, it manufactures the equipment used to generate energy, such as gas turbines and wind turbines, as well as the infrastructure for the energy grid. Utilities around the world are upgrading aging electrical grids to handle the increased energy demands tech requires. The drawback is that the company’s stock has a high valuation that already reflects that optimism.
So, neither company is a bad investment, since both should benefit from rising electricity demand. It comes down to whether you prefer investing conservatively and sticking with the steady cash flow and dividends Constellation offers or are willing to accept the risk of a richer valuation in exchange for long-term growth.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of June 25, 2025 through March 10, 2026, inclusive (“the Class Period”). The lawsuit alleges that (i) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (“SCAR”) program and the U.S. Space Force’s ongoing efforts to modernize the Satellite Control Network (“SCN”); and (ii) accordingly, Defendants overstated AeroVironment’s business and financial prospects.
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver Broad Area Deployable Ground Terminal Enabling Resilient (“BADGER”) communication systems to the SCAR program. In the same announcement, AeroVironment stated that the stop work order “allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program” and that “[t]he Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program.” On this news, the price of AeroVironment shares declined by $61.97 per share, or approximately 16%, from $392.86 per share on January 16, 2026 to close at $330.89 on January 20, 2026.
Then, on March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and “reassessing how to move forward.” Space News quoted Colonel Owen Stevens, director of contracting at the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which supervised SCAR, as stating, “We have been in conversations with the [senior acquisition executive] for a little while now, and we are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR.” On this news, the price of AeroVironment shares declined by $43.93 per share, or approximately 17%, from $252.25 per share on February 27, 2026 to close at $208.32 on March 2, 2026.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. Among other items, AeroVironment reported a third-quarter operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. These financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the Company’s space division after the stop work order on the Company’s BADGER systems built for the SCAR program. AeroVironment also reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated the Company’s contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to “recompete” for the SCAR program. On this news, the price of AeroVironment shares declined by $13.84 per share, or approximately 6%, from $221.57 per share on March 10, 2026 to close at $207.73 on March 11, 2026.
On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Space Force announced its decision to diversify suppliers and rely on less costly commercial, off-the-shelf solutions in connection with its work to upgrade the SCN, instead of pursuing another single-vendor bespoke solution.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

On June 25, 2026, Freedom Holding Corp (FRHC) shares fell 4.4%, bringing the current price to $129.06. This decline marks a significant drop over the past week
On June 25, 2026, Plexus Corp PLXS shares rose 3.6% today, trading at $296.79. Over the past year, the stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week high of $307.06 and a low of $115.35.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $296.79 vs GF Value™ of $148.43, indicating a 100.0% overvaluation.GF Score™ of 83/100 signifies a strong ranking in terms of financial health and performance potential.Notable insider activity shows that insiders sold $6.0M in shares over the last three months, with no buying activity reported. Is PLXS Overvalued or Undervalued? Plexus Corp PLXS is currently trading significantly above its GF Value™, which is estimated at $148.43. This indicates that the stock is overvalued by approximately 100.0%, suggesting a lack of margin of safety for potential investors. The GF Valuation label classifies the stock as "Significantly Overvalued," which raises concerns about the sustainability of its current price level. With such a high valuation relative to intrinsic value, there is an increased risk of a price correction should the market adjust its perception of the company's worth.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the substantial disparity between the current trading price and the GF Value™, investors could face potential losses if the stock price converges toward its intrinsic value.
How Does PLXS's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 43.4x 21.8x Forward P/E 31.5x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 43.4x is almost 99% above its 5-year median P/E of 21.8x, indicating that Plexus is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the perspective that PLXS is overvalued. The elevated P/E ratio suggests that investors may be paying considerably more for each unit of earnings than they have historically, which may not be sustainable in the long run.
What Does PLXS's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 83 Financial Strength 8/10 Profitability 9/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 1/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 83/100 reflects a strong overall profile for Plexus Corp, driven primarily by high scores in the Growth (10/10) and Profitability (9/10) categories. However, the Valuation score of 1/10 highlights a significant weakness in the stock's current pricing relative to its intrinsic value. This dichotomy suggests that while the company may be performing well financially and exhibiting solid growth potential, the market's current valuation may not accurately reflect these strengths.
What Are Insiders Doing with PLXS Stock? Recent insider activity at Plexus Corp indicates a trend of selling, with insiders offloading $6.0 million worth of shares in the past three months. The absence of insider buying during this timeframe may signal a lack of confidence among executives regarding the stock's current valuation. Such selling activity can often be interpreted as a cautious approach by insiders, especially in a context where the stock is trading significantly above its established GF Value™.
This pattern of insider selling could suggest that even those within the company believe that the current price may not be justified, which could further concern potential investors about the stock's sustainability at elevated price levels.
What This Means for Investors Based on the analysis of Plexus Corp's valuation metrics and GF Value™, it is evident that the stock is currently overvalued. The significant disparity between the market price and intrinsic value raises red flags for potential investors. As such, caution is warranted when considering an investment in PLXS at this time.
For the complete analysis, visit the Plexus Corp PLXS stock page. You can also explore the GF Value™ page for detailed valuation methodology, or use the GuruFocus Stock Screener to find similar opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions What is PLXS's GF Score™?
The GF Score™ for Plexus Corp is 83/100, indicating a strong performance potential and financial health compared to other stocks.
Is PLXS overvalued or undervalued?
Plexus Corp is considered overvalued, as its current price of $296.79 is significantly above the GF Value™ of $148.43.
What is PLXS's P/E ratio?
PLXS has a trailing P/E ratio of 43.4, which is well above its 5-year median of 21.8, highlighting that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026, inclusive (“the Class Period”). The lawsuit alleges that Badger Meter’s financial results were at least partially attributable to the Company’s practice of pulling forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported. However, the Company had previously told investors that Badger Meter’s financial results reflected “ongoing favorable industry trends,” “secular growth drivers,” and “solid operating execution.” They likewise touted “strong” demand and said they were seeing “robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth,” and that Badger Meter possessed a “long runway” for growth.
On July 22, 2025, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial results for 2Q 2025, including earnings per share (“EPS”) below consensus estimates, declining revenue growth, deteriorating margins, and warned “we expect absolute sales to decline sequentially in the third quarter of 2025.” The Company said it was “simply the nature of the business” and blamed a gap caused by the completion of certain large advanced metering infrastructure (“AMI”) projects and delays in the start of others while stating “our funnel remains as robust as ever” and that demand softness was “not a concern.” On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by $40.42 per share, or approximately 17%, from $245.22 per share on July 21, 2025 to close at $204.80 on July 22, 2025.
On January 28, 2026, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial results for 4Q 2025, including missed revenue expectations and a “6% sequential decline in utility water sales.” However, the Company continued to blame the poor results on “previously communicated project pacing effects.” On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by $18.09 per share, or approximately 11%, from $164.41 per share on January 27, 2026 to close at $146.32 on January 28, 2026.
Finally, on April 17, 2026, Badger Meter reported disappointing 1Q 2026 financial results including that total sales were “9% lower than the prior year[],” “[u]tility water sales declined 10% year-over-year,” “[o]perating earnings of $35.2 million, with an operating margin of 17.4%, compared to operating earnings of $49.4 million and an operating margin of 22.2% in the prior year,” and “[d]iluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.93, down from $1.30 in the first quarter of 2025.” The Company blamed “project timing,” but also disclosed that “softer shortcycle municipal customer ordering” contributed to the disappointing financial results. The Company also revealed that the “variability” in short-cycle demand seen in 1Q 2026 “has always existed, inclusive of [the] 2023 to 2025 time frame” but claimed it was “less visible in the revenue outcomes because of the backlog condition combined with projects in flight.” On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by $36.75 per share, or approximately 24%, from $152.29 per share on April 16, 2026 to close at $115.54 on April 17, 2026.

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.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for Badger Meter's products, and its prospects for continued growth.

GF Value™ verdict: The current price is $94.47, while the GF Value™ is estimated at $17.57, indicating the stock is 437.7% overvalued.GF Score™: 57/100 (Average) suggests the company has a balanced performance across key metrics.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $8.9 million in stock over the past three months, indicating a potential lack of confidence in the current valuation. Is MXL Overvalued or Undervalued? The current market price of MaxLinear Inc MXL at $94.47 is significantly higher than its GF Value™ estimate of $17.57, suggesting that the stock is overvalued by 437.7%. This large discrepancy indicates a substantial margin of safety for potential investors if they consider the intrinsic value of the company. According to the GF Valuation label, MXL is classified as "Significantly Overvalued," which raises concerns about the sustainability of its current price level.
Investors should be cautious of the risks associated with such a high valuation. Overvaluation may lead to a price correction, particularly if future performance does not align with market expectations. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
How Does MXL's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) Not available 27.7x (5-Year Median) Forward P/E 70.3x Not available While a specific current P/E ratio is not available, the forward P/E of 70.3x is significantly higher than the 5-year median P/E of 27.7x.

There are surprisingly strong synergies between nuclear energy and artificial intelligence.
In many ways, nuclear energy stocks today can almost be considered AI stocks. That's because the multitrillion-dollar global data center build-out to support AI technologies requires an increasing number of new energy sources to come online. Nuclear energy is an ideal solution for many reasons. Nuclear energy typically offers low carbon emissions, reliable baseload power, and limited refueling requirements.
But it's not just AI companies that are looking into nuclear. Nuclear companies are now looking into AI.

This nuclear energy company is going all in on AI Last month, Oklo Inc. (OKLO 5.64%) -- a nuclear energy developer specializing in small modular reactors (SMRs) -- announced a partnership with the Battelle Energy Alliance, a government-owned facility focused on nuclear energy research. The goal of the partnership is to accelerate the use of AI technologies for designing and building next-gen nuclear reactors.
In this way, Oklo now has two main exposure points to AI. Most of its customer pipeline consists of AI companies. And now, it plans to use AI itself to improve its own produce pipeline.
If you're bullish on AI in general, Oklo is emerging as a promising potential stock pick. Shares are down by nearly 70% since their highs last summer. Its market cap is now down to just $10 billion -- down from a peak of around $30 billion.

Oklo isn't a traditional nuclear energy developer. It is pioneering a unique approach to nuclear power using small modular reactors (SMRs). Only a small handful of SMRs are in operation worldwide. And while SMRs have many benefits versus conventional nuclear power plants -- including lower initial costs and faster construction times -- this type of nuclear infrastructure has yet to take off in any meaningful way.
But tailwinds for SMR adoption are emerging. AI data centers will need vast amounts of new energy capacity to come online over the next few years and decades to support growth. Most forms of energy are set to benefit. Because they are faster to build and can be expanded with more reactor modules down the line, SMRs are a potential fit for meeting AI's rising energy demands.
There is clear buy-in from the U.S. government to expand SMR infrastructure. Oklo's partnership with the Battelle Energy Alliance reportedly gives it "access to specialized national-lab expertise and facilities." The ultimate goal is to enable Oklo to innovate faster by designing, building, and obtaining regulatory approval in record time.
"By leveraging AI-enabled technologies, national laboratory expertise, and industry collaboration, we are accelerating the development of next-generation reactors to support our nation's energy goals," Rian Bahran, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy for Nuclear Reactors at the U.S. Department of Energy, said in a press release.
Oklo deserves a closer look by both AI and nuclear energy investors.

ToplineOpenAI is now leaning toward delaying its public debut from later this year to next year, unnamed sources told The New York Times, as Elon Musk’s SpaceX stock tumbles after its record IPO and the public tech market slumps more broadly.

Key FactsOpenAI hired bankers and lawyers eyeing an initial public offering as early as the third or fourth quarter of this year, with CEO Sam Altman pushing them to engineer a $1 trillion valuation, the Times reported, citing three people involved in the talks.
Over the past week, OpenAI’s advisers have cautioned the company that a public listing may not be met with enough enthusiasm due to the volatile public tech market, per the report.
When advisers offered a choice between waiting until 2027 for a $1 trillion debut or accepting a lower valuation for a faster one, Altman called any cut to the trillion-dollar figure a "nonstarter," one person in contact with him told the Times.
OpenAI confirmed earlier this month it had filed confidential paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to go public but had not committed to a timeline, with the Wall Street Journal previously reporting the company planned to list as early as September.
There has been internal hesitation about the public debut since before the confidential filing, the Times reported, with employees including chief financial officer Sarah Friar expressing concern on the company's finances this year, according to the Journal.
big number$852 billion. That’s OpenAI’s most recent valuation. The company reported roughly $13 billion in revenue last year on $21 billion in net loss, with $600 billion in projected spending on compute and hardware until 2030. Amid growing doubts about whether AI companies can turn a profit, the company is now hunting for new revenue, experimenting with ads inside ChatGPT and e-commerce tie-ups with Shopify and Stripe, while paring back money-losing ventures including its Sora video app.
key backgroundOpenAI’s hesitation comes amid a crowded 2026 IPO pipeline that has drawn many of tech’s most valuable private companies, including the company’s chief rival Anthropic and SpaceX. Anthropic confidentially filed on June 1 for its reported late 2026 public debut—a week before OpenAI announced it had filed confidentially. Anthropic raised funding at a $965 billion valuation in late May, overtaking OpenAI’s private valuation for the first time. SpaceX was the first of the crop to go public on June 12. Its debut raised more than $85 billion, sending the company’s valuation to $2.77 trillion and Musk’s net worth to as high as $1.4 trillion. The stock has plummeted since, closing at $153 on Thursday after topping $225 last week, and Musk has lost his trillionaire status. The broader markets have been shaky, with tech shares dragging down indexes as investors question whether AI companies can deliver on their valuations. Beyond the AI names, a wave of tech companies including Strava, Discord, Kraken and smart-ring maker Oura filed confidentially earlier this year.
tangentThe SpaceX IPO landed less than a month after two of OpenAI’s cofounders, Altman and Musk, took their long-running feud to the courtroom. A federal jury in Oakland, California, ruled against Musk on May 18, finding he waited too long to sue Altman and OpenAI over claims they violated an alleged promise to keep the company a charitable nonprofit. The jury found the claims fell outside a three-year statute of limitations. Musk, who first filed the suit in 2024, dismissed the decision on X as a "calendar technicality" and vowed to appeal, though Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers signaled deep skepticism, saying she was prepared to dismiss any appeal. The verdict cleared a legal cloud hanging over OpenAI's restructuring right as both magnates were steering their companies toward the public market.
Explosive growth in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving an expanding need for specialized computing resources, and traditional cloud infrastructure providers are struggling to supply those resources in sufficient quantity. Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 1.00%) -- which is best known for its reusable rockets and its Starlink satellite network -- is aggressively expanding beyond the aerospace sector and into the world of accelerated computing capacity.
Through a series of targeted investments and strategic partnerships, SpaceX (as the company is known) is positioning itself to supply access to high-performance GPU clusters, and building a foothold in the neocloud economy.

Why neoclouds are important for AI Neoclouds are specialized data centers built around dense clusters of GPUs -- largely Nvidia's industry-leading processors -- rather than general-purpose servers. They streamline access to the huge parallel-processing power that's required for AI training and inference, sparing their clients the capital outlays of building and operating their own data center infrastructure. By specifically optimizing their clusters to handle AI workloads, neoclouds help accelerate model development and lower barriers to entry for smaller research teams. This is particularly useful now as there are a host of bottlenecks limiting the pace at which new data centers can be brought online.

How SpaceX is expanding its role in AI infrastructure Over the last year, SpaceX deployed meaningful capital into AI infrastructure, buying substantial quantities of Nvidia GPUs. The company has since inked agreements to supply AI infrastructure capacity to prominent clients such as Anthropic, Alphabet's Google Cloud, and Reflection AI. The total value of those three contracts could be about $82 billion over the next three years.
By leasing some of its capacity to external customers, SpaceX is leveraging its large-scale Colossus computing system to create a new revenue stream while simultaneously helping to address the same capacity constraints that are fueling the rise of dedicated AI cloud providers like Nebius Group and CoreWeave.
How will AI affect SpaceX's long-term direction? The entry of SpaceX into the neocloud field means fresh competition for the established players. Its added capacity could help alleviate the market's shortages and exert downward pressure on pricing. That might benefit the hyperscalers even as it compresses profit margins for existing providers.
With that said, the AI compute market is expanding so rapidly that bringing additional capacity into the marketplace does not necessarily threaten to sap business from the incumbents. Rather, SpaceX is proving it can coexist alongside them.
Rather than a full business model pivot, SpaceX appears to be layering its AI infrastructure segment onto its existing space-focused core operation. In the long run, this will help give it a diversified business model -- one that keeps revolving around orbital technology while also generating meaningful revenues from the terrestrial boom in AI demand.

Apple (AAPL 6.41%) made news on the consumer devices side of the business today. The stock closed at $275.15, down 6.12%. Apple fell after it raised prices across Macs, iPads, home devices, and Vision Pro to offset higher memory and storage costs.
Trading volume reached 106.4 million shares, coming in about 119% above its three-month average of 48.5 million shares.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.01%) slipped 0.01% to 7,357, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC 0.46%) fell 0.46% to 25,359. Among consumer electronics and personal computing hardware and software peers, Microsoft (MSFT 3.66%) closed at $352.83, down 3.46%, and Alphabet (GOOGL 0.30%) ended at $343.71, down 0.46%, as Apple and other large technology names faced selling.
What this means for investorsThe market tide turned against Apple and other hardware manufacturers today after Micron Technology (MU +14.50%) reported stellar earnings after the bell yesterday. Micron stock soared nearly 16% after blockbuster earnings that included revenue quadrupling year over year and a record adjusted gross margin of about 85%.
Investors correctly concluded that meant advanced memory pricing continues to soar, potentially impacting the bottom lines of companies like Apple. While soaring memory and storage costs aren’t a new data point for investors, that confirmation came as Apple announced price increases on several of its products.
That leads to two questions for investors. First, will consumers absorb the higher price environment for Apple devices, or will sales begin to lag? Second, what will Apple’s profit margin look like going forward? That uncertainty led to today’s stock sell-off.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Microsoft's Copilot family of products had experienced significant brand positioning, user experience, usage, data siloing, computational capacity, organizational, and interoperability problems; (2) Microsoft's flagship proprietary AI model ranked well below competitors on a number of benchmark tests; (3) Microsoft needed to increase by billions of dollars its capital expenditures and divert graphics processing unit ("GPU") and central processing unit ("CPU") capacity away from fulfilling demand for its profitable Azure services in order to improve the competitive positioning of its critical Copilot family of products and increase its AI-related research and development ("R&D"); and (4) as a result, Microsoft had failed to convert a significant percentage of its commercial Microsoft 365 users to paid Copilot subscriptions and Microsoft's Copilot offerings had lost market share to rival products, a trend that was increasing. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Microsoft Corporation's data center capacity expansion to 10GW by FY26 is projected to accelerate Cloud revenue growth by 12.4% to 21.3%, aided by the Anthropic Azure AI Foundry deal. Average revenue per user for Office 365 can surprise to the upside as Copilot adoption drives a transition toward consumption-based and usage-based compute pricing models. Aggressive capital expenditure projected to reach $190B by the end of CY26 carries an estimated negative ROI of -9.3%, signaling that Microsoft is overpaying for revenue growth.

On January 28, 2026, Microsoft announced disappointing results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025. First, during the quarter Microsoft's Azure growth had slowed suddenly and fallen below analyst expectations. During the related earnings call, CFO Amy E. Hood revealed that the slower Azure growth was primarily due to computational capacity constraints, as Microsoft had diverted CPU and GPU capacity to Copilot applications and AI-related R&D. Second, Microsoft revealed that its capital expenditures had increased to $37.5 billion during the quarter, causing Microsoft's capital expenditures for the first six months of its fiscal 2026 to increase to $72.4 billion compared to $88.2 billion for all of Microsoft's fiscal 2025. Third, Microsoft revealed, for the first time, that the number of paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats totaled only 15 million to date, materially below analyst estimates and a fraction of the more than 450 million commercial Microsoft 365 users.
On this news, the price of Microsoft stock fell nearly 10%.
Then, on February 3, 2026, The Wall Street Journal revealed, in an article titled "Microsoft's Pivotal AI Product Is Running Into Big Problems," that severe challenges and functionality issues had plagued Microsoft's Copilot offerings, leading to Copilot losing market share during the Class Period to competing products such as Google's Gemini. The price of Microsoft stock continued to fall in the days after Microsoft's second quarter 2026 earnings announcement as the market continued to digest the adverse news and sources such as The Wall Street Journal revealed new adverse information.
Thereafter, on March 17, 2026, The Wall Street Journal revealed in an article titled "Microsoft Seeks More Coherence in AI Efforts With Copilot Reorganization" that Microsoft was reorganizing its Copilot product teams to unify commercial and consumer versions partly in response to the challenges revealed by The Wall Street Journal's prior reporting on Copilot's problem-plagued development and disappointing customer adoption.
On this news, the price of Microsoft stock continued to fall.
