GE Vernova (GEV) is booking turbines years out. Data centers are buying Bloom Energy (BE) fuel cells instead.
Heavy-duty gas turbines are booked years out, so AI data centers are paying for onsite power instead. What GE Vernova, Bloom Energy, Power Solutions International, NRG and EQT each sell into that gap.
OpenAI's data center chief left five months in, as the company commits $1.4 trillion to compute
Chris Malone, OpenAI's head of data centers, has left after about five months, the latest senior exit as the company pours money into compute.
Countries are buying AI compute like oil reserves. Nvidia says it's already a $30 billion business.
Governments are buying AI compute as national infrastructure, and specialized neoclouds are renting out GPUs at scale, but the two overlap more than the headline numbers suggest. What it means for Nvidia, Oracle, CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN.
Leopold Aschenbrenner's latest filing shows he closed 13 of his 16 options positions and moved more than half his fund into SanDisk and Micron
Situational Awareness LP reported $8.46 billion of put positions on March 31 and one on June 30. The money went into SanDisk, Micron, Nebius and STMicroelectronics.
Nvidia (NVDA) is now backing OpenAI's data-center lease in Ohio
Nvidia said it will guarantee part of the cost of an 8-gigawatt AI data center in Ohio that OpenAI will lease and fill with Nvidia chips, and invest $1.5 billion in builder SB Energy. The move locks in demand and revives the circular-financing debate.

Trump's disclosures show 18 Coupang (CPNG) trades across two accounts in eight months, the biggest of them landing while his own administration was accusing Seoul of persecuting the company.

Nebius (NBIS) soars 27% as explosive AI demand burns Michael Burry's short
Nebius grew Q2 revenue 454% to $582 million, swung to a profit, and jumped about 27% as CEO Arkady Volozh said AI demand keeps growing exponentially. The whole data center trade rallied, and Michael Burry's fresh short went underwater.
Michael Burry shorted Oracle (ORCL) at $144.63 and Nebius (NBIS) at $211.77. This time it's the stock, not puts.
Michael Burry shorted Oracle at $144.63 and Nebius at $211.77 on August 6, this time selling the shares short instead of buying puts. His argument: their AI-era earnings are inflated by understated chip depreciation.
The AI trade rallied Monday. Memory fell as much as 8% at the open even as chip prices kept rising.
Micron (MU) has lost a third of its value since June 25 and SanDisk nearly half. CoreWeave and Vertiv fell about half as far, and Nvidia rose. Memory contract prices never fell. What changed is the rate of increase, which went from 93-98% a quarter to a forecast 13-18%.
Citadel bought Leopold Aschenbrenner's stock book. Two outlets say he kept part of it, and a filing due Monday settles it.
Bloomberg and Reuters both name Ken Griffin's Citadel as the buyer of Situational Awareness's stock book, and both say bulk, not all. CNBC said the entire public book went in one block to one buyer. A Form 4 on the SharonAI (SHAZ) stake is due Aug. 3, an initial 13D or 13G from Citadel on Aug. 6, and the fund's own quarterly report on Aug. 14.
Leopold Aschenbrenner's AI fund sold its levered stock book, longs and shorts, to a single buyer. It was levered as much as four times.
CNBC's David Faber reported that Situational Awareness sold its entire public equities book, longs and shorts together, to a single buyer. The fund reached $24 billion near its highs and ran leverage of as much as four times. Its last public filing shows 62% of a $13.68 billion book was bets against chip stocks, and the stocks it owned outright fell twice as far.
Michael Burry posted three charts making the AI bear case. Two of them show the selling already happened.
Burry shared three Bloomberg charts on the AI trade. One maps the circular deals around Nvidia (NVDA). The other two show big tech forward multiples back at or below their 10-year averages, with Apple (AAPL) the lone expensive name and the only megacap missing from the circular map.
Michael Burry's picks: the Micron (MU) bet is up 17%. He has been averaging down on Lululemon (LULU) since 2025.
Burry deregistered Scion, so the 13F trail stopped and his trades now surface first on a newsletter with 300,000 subscribers. Here is everything he has disclosed since June, priced as of July 27. The point of laying them out together is that he is not always right.
Michael Burry sent readers to a BIS report on AI's poorly disclosed deals. Oracle (ORCL) reports $638 billion in one line.
Michael Burry spent July 23 pointing his readers at a Bank for International Settlements report on how AI deals get financed. The clearest illustration sits in an Oracle (ORCL) filing: a $638 billion backlog reported as one aggregate line, with the customer split left to S&P to estimate.
Everyone's asking if AI is the next dot-com bubble. Nvidia and 25 companies just gave a clue.
Nvidia rallied 25 companies behind open AI models, and OpenAI and Anthropic sat it out. Here's why I think their coming IPOs, not this fight, mark the real top of the AI bubble.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still lagging the rest of his book. Intel is 1 for 5, and IBM crashed the day after his second buy call.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still his weak spot. Intel is 1 for 5 since June, IBM is down nearly 30% since his back-to-back buy calls, and his tech picks trail the Nasdaq-100 by more than three points a call even after Tuesday's chip bounce.
Michael Burry cut his Oracle (ORCL) short in half, and says reports he closed it are fake news
Michael Burry sold half his Oracle (ORCL) puts on July 17 after a 63% stock plunge, then called reports that he'd fully exited the short "fake news." The same post added Nvidia (NVDA) puts, more DraftKings (DKNG), and a skeptical read on Netflix (NFLX).
Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) don't just sell OpenAI chips and cloud time. They also fund the bill.
Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle, Broadcom, AMD, and CoreWeave have promised OpenAI close to a trillion dollars combined, and some of them are OpenAI's investors as well as its vendors. Here's how the money actually loops, and where it's already showing strain.
New Mexico blocked the pipeline feeding Oracle's (ORCL) biggest Stargate site. Bloom Energy (BE) has 2.45 GW riding on it.
New Mexico's land commissioner denied the Green Chile gas pipeline for Oracle's Project Jupiter Stargate site a second time, and SemiAnalysis now sees a 1 to 2 year delay risk. That puts Bloom Energy's record 2.45 GW fuel cell order, and a $61 billion market cap built on AI power deals, on the clock.
Kimi K3 just gave Nvidia (NVDA) its second "DeepSeek moment." The first one made chip demand go up, not down.
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 sent Nvidia and Oracle lower this week, reviving the "cheap AI kills chip demand" argument. History, and the actual spending numbers, say the opposite is true.
Bullish Watch, week of July 13: the market panicked over a Meta headline, and got it wrong
This week's watchlist, updated through Tuesday: Nebius gave back its early bounce on a data-center headline unrelated to its business, Kraken Robotics is holding up best of the five, Intel swung from a 6% drop to a 4.5% rally in two days, and Rocket Lab and Harmonic are still finding their footing.
Oracle (ORCL) stock crashed 59%: is it near the bottom?
Oracle keeps beating earnings and keeps falling anyway, down from $345.72 to around $140. Here is why, the debt and cash burn behind it, the $638 billion bull case, and whether the stock is bottoming.
The AI stocks that led and lagged the first half of 2026
The first half of 2026 split the AI trade in two. Memory and chip-supply names like Micron (MU, +304%) and Intel (INTC, +278%) soared, while marquee names lagged and AI software fell, with Palantir (PLTR) down about 34%. Here is the full scoreboard and what it means.
