Nvidia (NVDA) closed out the week on a hot streak, climbing more than 10% as concerns over the broader AI trade seemed to subside for the time being.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (^SOX) also rose for the week, rising more than 8% over the last five trading days.
Semis took a bruising in the prior week over fears about the ongoing AI build-out and whether the companies' lofty valuations were supported by their fundamentals, but they recovered as traders turned more positive on the sector.
Nvidia also got a boost from ******* eX (SPCX) when Elon Musk announced during the company's first earnings call on Tuesday that the rocket firm would build data centers both on Earth and in ******* e exclusively using Nvidia's chips.
Musk said he would pack data centers on the ground using Nvidia's Vera Rubin-based NVL72 rackscale system and launch modified versions of the rack into orbit around Earth.

For most of the last two decades, the anxiety in power planning was about demand: would consumption grow fast enough to justify new capacity, and how would an aging fleet keep pace? That question has inverted. Demand is no longer the uncertain variable—it is the one thing forecasters are confident about. The uncertainty now sits on the supply side: whether the workforce, the equipment, and the political and economic conditions needed to build and run generation can keep up with a demand curve that is accelerating for the first time in a generation.The International Energy Agency (IEA) put a number on the demand side in its Electricity 2026 report, projecting that global electricity demand will grow by an average of 3.6% per year through 2030, roughly 50% faster than the average over the previous decade, driven by industrial electrification, electric vehicles, air conditioning, and data centers. For the first time in three decades outside of a crisis period, electricity demand has begun to grow faster than the global economy itself. The demand is coming. The open question is deliverability.That framing—supply-side constraints as the binding risk—runs through recent research from Verdantix, a UK-based **** yst firm whose Industrial Dislocation Index scores nine major economies on how far their operating conditions have diverged from their own 30-year norms. For power generation specifically, Verdantix identifies four factors that carry disproportionate weight: politics, geo-economic friction, energy prices, and production inputs.
The clearest signal in the Verdantix data for a power audience is the energy sub-index, which scores each country on how far its energy position has moved from its own historical baseline. The spread is wide. The U.S. sits at the resilient end, with the lowest energy-dislocation score in the study at 1.83, a reflection of its position as a net exporter of natural gas, crude, and coal, with electricity and fuel costs below the global average. At the other end is the UK, at 7.33, the highest in the study—a measure of how sharply its energy position has diverged from what UK industry was historically built around. Germany (5.67) and France (5.50) sit high as well; **** an (4.50), India (3.50), China (3.17), Saudi Arabia (3.00), and Canada (2.67) fall in between.What that gap looks like on the ground varies by market, and Verdantix's country profiles fill it in. The UK's high score traces to underinvestment in nuclear, the grid-modernization costs of shifting to decentralized renewables, and windfall taxes on oil and gas—a combination severe enough that Verdantix notes chemical producers citing UK energy costs as a reason to pull back operations. France is Europe's largest net electricity exporter thanks to its nuclear fleet, but that same concentration is a vulnerability: recent questions about the quality of French reactor maintenance, Verdantix observes, show how quickly a strength can turn into a present-day problem. ****

The North American automotive industry is facing a dramatic change in the operational environment this year, which is marked by increased financing barriers and ongoing consumer price sensitivity. Since average auto loan interest rates are still more than 8%, consumers are delaying expensive discretionary upgrades, extending payment terms, and challenging aggressive price hikes. Legacy OEMs have been forced to give up unrestricted EV capital expenditure targets because of the sharp slowdown amid an overall shift to electric vehicles. That said, not every auto manufacturer is performing on the same level, with General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) serving as a case study on these dynamics.
General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) produced an exceptional second-quarter performance that showed impressive operational discipline in the face of this demanding macroenvironment. Strong pricing power and unit volume across its high-margin full-sized pickup and SUV categories, such as the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Tahoe, drove GM's $48 billion quarterly revenue. Due to this legacy strength, North American operating margins reached 8.6%, which boosted adjusted earnings per share to $3.57 and resulted in a 41% year-over-year increase, significantly above Wall Street estimates.
Importantly, General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) showed that its multibillion-dollar effort to streamline its EV division and properly size battery joint ventures is producing immediate financial results, allowing executive leadership to raise full-year adjusted operating income (EBIT) guidance to between $14 billion and $16 billion.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) had a much more divided operating narrative. Despite exceeding consensus estimates with adjusted earnings per share of $0.42 and matching GM on top-line revenue at $48 billion, underlying segment performance revealed ongoing structural friction. Due to enterprise fleet demand and high-margin software subscriptions, Ford Pro, the company's commercial branch, continued to be a high-margin cash engine. However, the company's electric vehicle division, Model e, recorded a sharp $1.26 billion quarterly operational loss, severely undermining these gains.
Based on a comparative valuation ******* ysis, here is a clear disparity between market price and operational execution. General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) carries an EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.01x and a discounted forward price-to-earnings ratio of 5.96x. In comparison, while experiencing significant margin pressure from its Model E division and ******* embly delays, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) trades at a higher forward P/E of 7.88x and an increased EV/EBITDA multiple of 19.76x.

Billionaire Mark Cuban reveals how the nation's wealthiest can send the elevator back down and help Americans at every income level build wealth.
In a recent interview with Sarah McCammon on the "What It Takes" podcast, Cuban shared his views on AI, healthcare, and income inequality in America. The former "Shark Tank" investor, who, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, has a net worth of $10.2 billion, said that one of the best ways to tackle income inequality is to give employees company stock.
"I would like to see it so that every single CEO/founder/entrepreneur does what I did, which was to give equity to every single employee," said Cuban. "Every company I've ever sold, I've given money to every single employee. Every time."

The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM) reported its second-quarter financial results on July 23, delivering a modest upside on earnings per share despite ongoing top-line volume pressures. The company reported GAAP diluted EPS of $4.96, topping Wall Street consensus estimates of $4.83, while non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at $3.65. The EPS beat was primarily driven by gross margin expansion, reaching 50.4%, up 60 basis points year-over-year, and a $1.31 per-share after-tax benefit from a favorable adjustment in supplier litigation.
The company's net revenue for the quarter was roughly in line with expectations at $568.3 million, down 3.3% year-over-year. Depletions fell 6%, which, while negative, came in better than the Street's fear of a 9% decline. Shipment volume was approximately 2.0 million barrels, down 4.5%. Crucially, management maintained its full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance of $8.50 to $10.50.
Following the report, Wall Street ******* ysts adjusted their outlooks. On July 24, Roth Capital lowered its price target on Boston Beer to $295 from $315 while keeping a Buy rating on the shares. The firm noted that while major components of guidance were unchanged, commentary on the earnings call suggested that if current trends persist, full-year results would land toward the lower end of the guided range. On the same day, Deutsche Bank lowered its price target to $176 from $187 and maintained a Hold rating on the shares.
This mix of resilient operational execution and volume headwinds brings up a key question: Is The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM)'s margin recovery and balance sheet strength enough to navigate persistent category challenges?
Optimistic investors emphasize Boston Beer's low leverage and durable financial flexibility as foundational strengths. With minimal debt, $265.5 million in cash, and a sizable equity base, the company maintains the financial headroom to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and share repurchases. This strong balance sheet allows Boston Beer to absorb macroeconomic shocks, tariffs, or litigation without forced deleveraging, preserving strategic optionality over both short- and long-term horizons.

You may have heard that you need a 20% down payment to buy a home, but that isn't the case. In reality, many types of mortgage loans allow for a lot less. One of the most common low-down-payment options is the 3%-down conventional loan, which allows you to put down just 3% of the purchase price when taking out a mortgage.
MORE: See our top picks for mortgage lenders accepting low or no down payments.
The 3%-down mortgage is a type of conventional loan called a conforming loan. These are offered by private mortgage lenders, but their rules are set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that keep money flowing into the mortgage market by purchasing loans and selling them later on to investors.
Conventional loans are offered by most mortgage lenders and are the most common type of mortgage in the U.S. According to Home Mortgage Disclosure Data, they accounted for roughly 9.2 million of the 12.2 million mortgage loans issued in 2024.

TheFly reported on July 2 that H.C. Wainwright **** yst Raghuram Selvaraju increased the price target on GMAB to $40 from $38 while reaffirming a Buy rating on the shares.

Cathie Wood is a growth investor, but that doesn't mean she'll shy away from buying opportunities when her portfolios are coming under pressure. The co-founder and CEO of Ark Invest added to a few existing positions in her fund family's ETFs on Tuesday.

CoreWeave stock's 3% slide on Tuesday may not seem like much, but zoom out. The hyperscaler has seen its value cut nearly in half, down 48% since peaking exactly one year ago today. You can zoom out even more for a different story. CoreWeave went public at $40 a share just 16 months ago, and even closed slightly lower on its first day of trading. The shares have more than doubled from last year's IPO price.
CoreWeave has an origin story as wild as its stock chart. The company was started by a few hedge fund friends, who bought a few GPUs to mine crypto. When the market for digital currencies experienced a pullback, they had a choice to make. They could fold, as so many were doing in their position, or they could take advantage of the situation by picking up more GPUs at fire-sale prices from fellow failed crypto-mining upstarts.

Considering that the Federal Reserve hasn't obliged with interest rate cuts that likely would help the sector, real estate equities and the related ETFs are performing admirably this year.
Just look at the ALPS Active REIT ETF (REIT). Confirming the benefits with the combination of active management and real estate investment trusts (REITs), this ETF is higher by more than 17% year-to-date, and that's with the Fed not helping the notoriously rate-sensitive real estate sector. In fact, the prevailing wisdom emerging in recent months has been that if the central bank does anything this year, it will be boosting rates.
Fortunately for investors considering REIT and comparable ETFs, some experts view the rate hike trade as a crowded one that could be in for population flight following a sluggish June jobs report. Said another way, rate cuts may be back on the table in the second half of 2026, and that could be another tailwind for REIT. This ETF offers other perks.
Real estate has a documented track record as a wealth builder, but it's capital-intensive. Not every investor has the cash needed to own investment properties. ETFs like REIT can fill that void while providing high income.
