Honda Motor and Nissan Motor plan to collaborate in the development of a new software operating system (OS) for their next-generation vehicles, as the two ****** anese automakers look to cut vehicle development and production costs amid intensifying global competition, according to local reports citing a source familiar with the matter.
As the automotive industry moves towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), software and electronic hardware account for an increasing proportion of the cost of a vehicle, as advanced driver ****** istance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, connected technologies, and AI ****** istants become core features in next-generation vehicles.
Nissan and Honda, which pulled back from a full merger in early 2025, have been discussing collaboration in a number of areas, including SDVs, and EV batteries and powertrain components.
These latest reports suggest that a new OS, which serves as the brain of a vehicle, will be developed based on Nissan's existing OS. The two companies also plan to share key electronic hardware, including electronic control units (ECUs), with a formal agreement expected to be announced next month.
The decision to standardise software and electronic hardware was apparently made following recent progress in preliminary joint development.

While AI stocks have generally been hugely successful for shareholders, not every artificial intelligence (AI) company is riding high right now. ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) stock is trading down 51% from recent highs, and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has slid 18% over the past 12 months.
With these declines, some investors are likely wondering which AI stock is the better one to buy right now. Here's what investors should know.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Despite Palantir's significant share price declines this year, the company reported some impressive results in its first quarter (which ended March 31). Palantir's sales increased 85% to $1.6 billion, and adjusted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings spiked 154% to $0.33 per share. Both results easily outpaced Wall Street's consensus estimates.
Palantir also reported that its total contract value is now $2.4 billion, up 61% from the year-ago quarter, and that it signed 72 deals worth at least $5 million and 47 deals of at least $10 million.

Micron Technology has been on a tear on the stock market in 2026, with its shares almost tripling this year, as of this writing. However, the memory specialist's gains have been eclipsed by a 242% surge in shares of Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL).
Dell stock has benefited from a significant acceleration in revenue and earnings growth this year, primarily fueled by booming demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) servers. The good news for investors is that it isn't too late to buy Dell, as it is trading at an extremely attractive valuation even after its stunning rally in 2026.

SINGAPORE, July 24 (Reuters) - For months, Chinese chip manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) had been hiking prices on Huawei, one of the country's biggest technology companies. The chipmaker held firm when Huawei demanded relief from the escalating costs, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The standoff came to a head on CXMT's factory floor in June. A group of engineers from a chipmaking-equipment vendor with deep strategic ties to Huawei had been working in the cleanrooms at CXMT's core research and development zone in Hefei, Anhui province. Without warning, CXMT ordered the engineers, who had been helping with equipment maintenance, to pack their tools and leave the factory floor immediately, the two sources said.
Executives at the Huawei-connected equipment vendor, SiCarrier, concluded the confrontation was the result of the power struggle between CXMT and Huawei, the people told Reuters. The companies still do business but the engineers haven't been allowed back into the R&D zone, the two people said.
CXMT, Huawei and SiCarrier didn't respond to questions about the incident.
The clash illustrates the changing dynamics of China's semiconductor industry. CXMT has risen to become the world's fourth-biggest maker of memory, including the DRAM variety used in smartphones, laptops and servers. Now, the company is powerful enough to charge prices even Huawei can't stomach.

In this episode of Behind the Ticker, Brad Roth, CIO of Thor Financial Technologies, chats with Young Jae Lee, Senior Investment Manager at Pictet ******* et Management about what traditional emerging market ETFs capture, what they don't, and why the Pictet Emerging Markets Rising Economies ETF (RISE) offers true diversification.
Prefer to watch this conversation? You can do that here or on our YouTube channel.
Emerging markets ETFs are secretly tech bets. The top five holdings in the MSCI EM benchmark mirror the top five in the S&P 500 almost sector-for-sector. Buy traditional EM ETFs and you're really just doubling down on the same tech risk.
Pictet's new ETF, RISE, kicks out the biggest names in EM. It excludes Korea, Taiwan, and China entirely, even though those three countries make up more than 70% of the standard benchmark. The bet: real emerging-market exposure means growing working-age populations, not aging economies riding on legacy index weight.
Demographics are EM's version of AI. Borrowing from the Solow Growth Model, Young Jae Lee argues population growth is what actually drives GDP in developing markets like India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico. That demographic engine deserves the same portfolio spotlight in EM allocations that AI gets in US ones.

Brasada Capital Management, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter is available to download here. The market landscape in the past quarter has been significantly influenced by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), overshadowing other concerns like geopolitical conflicts. Currently, the AI boom is so substantial that it affects the entire market cycle. Key factors include a 400% increase in memory demand due to AI, a slow supply response that takes years to catch up, and minimal demand destruction. The Fund's investment strategy focuses on essential infrastructure that maintains competitive advantages, rather than chasing speculative momentum. The firm emphasizes secular long-term growth, regardless of which AI technologies prevail. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Brasada Capital Management highlighted Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH). Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) is a leading manufacturer of electrical, electronic, and fiber optic connectors serving a broad range of end markets. On July 22, 2026, Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) closed at $157.51 per share. One-month return of Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) was -4.63%, and its shares gained 50.78% over the past 52 weeks. Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) has a market capitalization of $193.77 billion.
Brasada Capital Management stated the following regarding Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of connectors, sensors, and interconnect systems, essentially producing the nervous system for modern electronics. The company designs solutions that allow power, signal, and data to flow reliably across demanding applications. Rather than selling off-the-shelf commodities, Amphenol acts as a crucial design partner, engineering the vast majority of its 500,000 SKUs as custom or semi-custom solutions tailored to the exact mechanical, thermal, or electrical requirements of its customers.
What makes Amphenol a high-quality business lies in its production of mission-critical components that represent a very small percentage of a customer's total cost of goods. Because the cost of failure is exceptionally high, whether in a commercial aircraft flying at 40,000 feet or a 1,000-volt EV battery, OEMs face significant switching costs and are reluctant to change suppliers once a component is proven reliable. This dynamic is further reinforced by a highly decentralized operating structure where general managers run their business units autonomously, enabling rapid, localized responses to customer needs. Additionally, the company is diversified across eight major end markets, with no single sector accounting for more than 25% of sales, which acts as a powerful shock absorber during cyclical downturns..."

If you hold shares in the AI software firm, you're already carrying the full weight of a market pricing an exceptionally broad range of futures for the company.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) is a stock that inspires fierce debate. But what if you could see a price tag on that very uncertainty? The options market provides just that, and right now, it's pricing a remarkably wide field of possibilities for PLTR over the coming year. If you own the stock, you own this risk, whether you trade options or not.
How the Market Is Pricing Both A Steep Drop And A Sharp Rally
Based on its options, the market is pricing a 68% probability that Palantir stock, trading today around $124.57, will end up somewhere between a floor near $70 and a ceiling near $221 over the next year. That's not a prediction, but a measure of the risk you're carrying. A move to that ceiling would represent a 77% gain from here. A drop to the floor would be a 44% loss. The key takeaway for a shareholder is the sheer size of that two-sided swing.

In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Brasada Capital Management highlighted Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST). Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) is a leading industrial and construction supply distributor that offers fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and inventory management solutions. On July 22, 2026, Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) closed at $45.33 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $52.02 billion. Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) posted a one-month return of -3.39%, while its shares lost 5.42% over the past 52 weeks.
Brasada Capital Management stated the following regarding Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) distributes a wide array of products including fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and janitorial supplies, but at its core Fastenal is an outsourced procurement and supply chain partner for the industrial sector, helping to seamlessly manage customer inventory. Fastenal embeds itself within its customers' operations through local branches, automated industrial vending machines, FASTBins equipped with RFID technology, and dedicated Onsite locations where full-time Fastenal employees work directly on the customer's manufacturing floor. By handling the complexities of sourcing and replenishment, Fastenal ensures parts are always available, allowing clients to focus on their core competencies without the risk of costly production delays caused by a missing screw.
What makes Fastenal a high-quality business is that their customers have come to depend on them for cheap, mission critical parts – any delay or having the wrong type of fastener in inventory can mean millions of dollars in costs for the manufacturers in the form of slowdowns, shutdowns, poor product quality, or recalls. If you're missing a $0.30 screw on a $10K or $10M machine, you're just not shipping that machine, and if you have too many of those screws laying around, you're likely wasting ***** e and money. As such, Fastenal commands premium pricing power, high returns on capital, and reoccurring revenue. On top of that, Fast

"Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) distributes a wide array of products including fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and janitorial supplies, but at its core Fastenal is an outsourced procurement and supply chain partner for the industrial sector, helping to seamlessly manage customer inventory. Fastenal embeds itself within its customers' operations through local branches, automated industrial vending machines, FASTBins equipped with RFID technology, and dedicated Onsite locations where full-time Fastenal employees work directly on the customer's manufacturing floor. By handling the complexities of sourcing and replenishment, Fastenal ensures parts are always available, allowing clients to focus on their core competencies without the risk of costly production delays caused by a missing screw.
What makes Fastenal a high-quality business is that their customers have come to depend on them for cheap, mission critical parts – any delay or having the wrong type of fastener in inventory can mean millions of dollars in costs for the manufacturers in the form of slowdowns, shutdowns, poor product quality, or recalls. If you're missing a $0.30 screw on a $10K or $10M machine, you're just not shipping that machine, and if you have too many of those screws laying around, you're likely wasting ***** e and money. As such, Fastenal commands premium pricing power, high returns on capital, and reoccurring revenue. On top of that, Fast

Brasada Capital Management, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter is available to download here. The market landscape in the past quarter has been significantly influenced by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), overshadowing other concerns like geopolitical conflicts. Currently, the AI boom is so substantial that it affects the entire market cycle. Key factors include a 400% increase in memory demand due to AI, a slow supply response that takes years to catch up, and minimal demand destruction. The Fund's investment strategy focuses on essential infrastructure that maintains competitive advantages, rather than chasing speculative momentum. The firm emphasizes secular long-term growth, regardless of which AI technologies prevail. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Brasada Capital Management highlighted Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO). Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) is a leading manufacturer of factory-built homes primarily in the United States. On July 22, 2026, Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) closed at $570.05 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $4.39 billion. Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) posted a one-month return of -6.32%, while its shares gained 38.35% over the past 52 weeks.
Brasada Capital Management stated the following regarding Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) is one of the largest producers of manufactured and modular homes, serving as a critical supplier of affordable housing solutions across the U.S. Cavco utilizes 33 manufacturing production lines and distributes its homes through a network of 92 company-owned retail locations as well as independent retailers. To support the entire homebuying lifecycle, Cavco also offers integrated services through its Standard Casualty insurance group and CountryPlace Mortgage finance subsidiary, making it a comprehensive player in the factory-built housing ecosystem.
What makes Cavco a high-quality business is that it operates within a highly consolidated and attractive oligopoly that heavily favors scale and established distribution. The top three manufacturers in this industry, Clayton Homes, Skyline Champion, and Cavco, control more than 86% of total industry production. This concentrated industry structure creates significant barriers to entry for new competitors, allowing the dominant players to maintain rational pricing, and driving outsized returns on capital by leveraging procurement scale and a wide geographic reach. And unlike AI, housing is one of those industries that has been around for centuries and will likely continue to be around for centuries more..." (Click here to read the full text)

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) had to abort its 13th Starship test flight after some of its engines failed to ignite. Starship is ****** eX's fully reusable super-heavy-lift vehicle, and once it's ready to operate commercially, it could significantly reduce the cost of putting payloads into ****** e, such as Starlink satellites or orbital data center satellites. Getting it off the ground (pun intended) will be key to the company achieving revenue growth and earnings that meet the market's high expectations.
SpaceX will have another go at the Starship test launch, and many more tests and launches will come over the next few years. A single aborted launch does not significantly impact the company's long-term viability.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares fell more than 5% in premarket trading on Thursday after the electric vehicle maker reported earnings below market expectations, with softer automotive margins and negative free cash flow overshadowing record vehicle deliveries and continued investment in artificial intelligence.
The results reinforced investor concerns about the company's ability to balance heavy spending on future technologies with near-term profitability.
Tesla reported capital expenditure of $5.8 billion during the second quarter as it continued investing heavily in autonomous driving, robotics and artificial intelligence.
Chief Executive Elon Musk acknowledged the scale of the investment programme, telling investors, "This is a massive capex year," while adding that the spending is expected to eventually "yield incredible returns."
The company generated negative free cash flow of $1.1 billion during the quarter, its first negative reading in two years, reflecting the financial impact of its long-term growth strategy.

Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: $ISTK) has taken full ownership of Gravity, giving the company control of a prediction-market technology it now believes can serve a wider set of liquidity and execution needs.
The company and Prospect Prediction Markets agreed to terminate their March development and platform agreement. Intellistake will retain Gravity's software, algorithms, AI and machine-learning models, interfaces, specifications and related development work, while Prospect's two-year exclusivity period and revenue-sharing rights have been removed.
Gravity was initially being developed around Prospect's platform. Intellistake now plans to explore applications across additional prediction markets, contract categories and other fragmented markets where thin liquidity can create pricing gaps, one-sided trading and unreliable execution.

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) provides storage systems, servers, networking gear, and consulting services, as well as laptops, desktops, workstations, and accessories. On Tuesday's episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer addressed some of the complaints his viewers made regarding Dell and other companies whose stocks experienced a massive rally. He stated:
Some of you have complained to me that I've kept you out of Sandisk, which is up 570% year-to-date, Micron up 240%, Seagate up 224%, Dell up 221%, and Western Digital up 218%. I don't know how that's possible. I've liked Micron for ages, and if you asked Michael Dell who's the most positive person in the media toward his amazing company, I bet he'd say Jim Cramer. So I'm not anti-tech, but I do like diversification. We've had some sickening days of late where all these stocks that I just mentioned got clobbered.
Cramer has been a strong proponent of Dell Technologies Inc.'s (NYSE:DELL) stock for a while now. In fact, Cramer showed regret around missing opportunities in the stock over several episodes of Mad Money. He repeated the sentiment during the July 1 episode, as he stated:
Oh, then there's two that I'm really embarrassed and even mortified to talk about: AMD and Dell. With AMD, the Trust had made a lot of money in this one, and we took the big profit, but I said, don't worry about it, I'll get right back in after another run. But the pullback never came, so I missed it.
Dell? I put Dell in the Trust bullpen, saying it should be bought on any dip, but it never dipped. This stock just exploded higher without me. I missed one of the greatest stories ever told, and I'm a four-decade supporter of Michael Dell. What do all these missed winners have in common? I was too skeptical. I was… too wary. I failed to consider where they could go and instead focused on where they had come from.

Super Micro Computer says that business is booming and profitability is improving. Investors like the sound of that.
Shares of Supermicro (SMCI), as the company is commonly known, jumped 22% to $31 in early trading Wednesday after the server maker said it expects to report gross margins of between 15% and 17% for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended on June 30. That's a steep increase over the company's previous guidance of 8.2% to 8.4%.
In a preliminary business update released late Tuesday, Supermicro estimated that revenue for the quarter will be closer to the low end of its previous forecast range of $11 billion to $12.5 billion. However, the company said that new orders in the period exceeded $60 billion, putting its backlog at a record level, indicating that the outlook for the coming quarters is strong.
The rosy view on margins from Supermicro gave shares of rival server makers a boost in early trading Wednesday. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) rose 5%, while Dell Technologies (DELL) jumped 8%, on an otherwise sluggish morning for U.S. stocks.
Coming into Wednesday's session, Supermicro shares had lost nearly 50% over the past year. The stock, which traded above $110 in early 2024 amid optimism about the role the company would play in the AI data center boom, has slumped in recent years amid investor concerns about accounting irregularities and corporate governance.

In the second quarter, the fund significantly outperformed both of its benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Mid Cap Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returning 41.6% net of fees while averaging 88% net long exposure. YTD, the fund returned 16.5% net of fees. long portfolio significantly outperformed both benchmarks, while the short portfolio was mixed in the quarter.

In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Deep Sail Capital Partners highlighted Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) as a notable performance contributor. Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) is a semiconductor company that provides high-speed connectivity solutions for optical and electrical Ethernet and PCIe applications.

Deep Sail Capital Partners stated the following regarding Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"There were a few large detractors at the end of the Q1 that have reversed in Q2 including our two biggest contributors in Q2 Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) and Amplitech. Credo Technologies was down over 50% from its ATH by the end of March on the narrative that "Copper is dead" in data centers. That narrative has since changed in Q2 with the market beginning to realize that Credo's ZeroFlap optics platform is a real second leg for the company and the acquisition of Dust Photonics, an integrated circuit optics company, makes Credo a viable optics player. The company returned 191% in Q2. I continue to view the company favorably on a growth and valuation basis and it is one of the fund's largest holdings."

Deep Sail Capital Partners stated the following regarding Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"There were a few large detractors at the end of the Q1 that have reversed in Q2 including our two biggest contributors in Q2 Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) and Amplitech. Credo Technologies was down over 50% from its ATH by the end of March on the narrative that "Copper is dead" in data centers. That narrative has since changed in Q2 with the market beginning to realize that Credo's ZeroFlap optics platform is a real second leg for the company and the acquisition of Dust Photonics, an integrated circuit optics company, makes Credo a viable optics player. The company returned 191% in Q2. I continue to view the company favorably on a growth and valuation basis and it is one of the fund's largest holdings."
