AI infrastructure startup Crusoe Energy Systems has secured $11.6 billion in funding commitments to build a massive data center in Abilene, Texas, designed to support OpenAI's expanding computing needs. The new funding round, backed by Blue Owl Capital's Real Assets platform and Primary Digital Infrastructure, brings total capital raised for the project to $15 billion, The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-data-center-funding-microsoft-75e879b6">Wall Street Journal </a>reported.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abilene: The Heart of OpenAI&#8217;s Infrastructure Expansion</h2>
According to <a href="https://crusoe.ai/newsroom/crusoe-expands-ai-data-center-campus-in-abilene-to-1-2-gigawatts/">Crusoe</a>, the facility marks a critical step in OpenAI's infrastructure strategy. Initially planned as a two-building campus, the project now spans eight buildings. It is expected to deliver 1.2 gigawatts of power capacity, making it one of the largest AI training hubs globally.

</ul>
According to the company, construction began last June, with the first two buildings—totaling 200 megawatts—expected to be energized in the first half of this year. A second phase, launched in March, will add six more buildings and is expected to be completed by mid-2026.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oracle Steps In as Microsoft's Footprint Shrinks</h2>
The expansion comes amid growing demand for compute capacity as OpenAI develops increasingly advanced artificial intelligence models. Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) has signed a 15-year lease to occupy a significant portion of the Abilene campus, according to the Journal.&nbsp;
While Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) remains OpenAI's largest investor and retains exclusive application programming interface licensing rights, its role in the Abilene project is limited to that of a technology partner, without direct equity involvement. OpenAI has increasingly sought to diversify its infrastructure partnerships, citing concerns over Microsoft's ability to scale fast enough to meet its compute needs, the Journal reported.
Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has committed over $7 billion to the data center project, building on a previous $2.3 billion investment, according to <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/jpmorgan-lend-7-billion-openai-data-center">The Information</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Project Stargate: A $500B Vision For AI Infrastructure</h2>
The Abilene project is part of &#8220;Project Stargate,&#8221; a $500 billion global AI infrastructure initiative launched in January by OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and United Arab Emirates-based MGX, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilsayegh/2025/01/22/stargate-ai-project-the-500-billion-gamble-to-dominate-the-future/">Forbes</a> reported. The project aims to build a vast network of AI data centers over the next four years to support rapid model development and increase U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.
According to <a href="https://crusoe.ai/newsroom/crusoe-blue-owl-capital-and-primary-digital-infrastructure-enter-joint-venture">Crusoe</a>, the buildings planned in Abilene are designed for industry-scale performance, with each capable of running up to 50,000 GB200 NVL72 chips from Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) on a unified network fabric.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economic and Environmental Considerations</h2>
Beyond scale, the Abilene campus is also a model for energy-conscious AI infrastructure. It incorporates direct-to-chip liquid cooling to manage thermal loads and partners with Lancium's Clean Campus program to integrate renewable energy sources, <a href="https://crusoe.ai/newsroom/crusoe-expands-ai-data-center-campus-in-abilene-to-1-2-gigawatts/">Crusoe</a> said.

Dell, Nvidia To Build Next-Gen Supercomputer For US Energy Department

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, reportedly lobbied the Trump administration to include his AI startup, xAI, in a deal with Sam Altman&#8216;s OpenAI to build a massive AI data center in Abu Dhabi.
What Happened: Musk reportedly used his influence to ensure that his company was a part of the deal, which was led by OpenAI and involved several American tech giants. The deal, which was approved by the Trump administration, is set to establish one of the world&#8217;s largest AI data centers in Abu Dhabi, according to a report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/elon-musk-trump-openai-stargate-abu-dhabi-e2689615?mod=tech_trendingnow_article_pos2">by</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Musk&#8217;s intervention came after he learned that OpenAI&#8217;s CEO, Sam Altman, was planning&nbsp;a deal in the U.A.E.&nbsp;during President Donald Trump&#8216;s visit to the Gulf countries. Musk, who was reportedly unhappy about the deal, joined the trip and voiced his concerns to Trump and U.S. officials.
Musk reportedly warned executives at G42—an AI company overseen by the brother of the United Arab Emirates&#8217; president—that their proposal would not receive President Trump&#8217;s approval unless his own company, xAI, was part of the arrangement.
Despite Musk&#8217;s objections, the deal went through, with the White House officials stating that Musk was concerned about the deal favoring Altman. The U.A.E. had been lobbying for AI chips and, after the Biden administration restricted chip sales, the U.A.E. turned to the Trump administration.
A senior White House official also confirmed that Musk had expressed concerns about the deal, emphasizing the importance of fairness for all AI companies.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This incident comes amid an ongoing legal battle between OpenAI and Musk. In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45686378/openai-fights-to-keep-countersuit-alive-against-elon-musk-over-profit-shift-calls-his-974-billion-bid-a-media-stunt">court filing</a>, OpenAI accused Musk of fraud and media manipulation, urging a judge to allow its countersuit to proceed, as reported. 
Earlier this month, OpenAI announced that it would retain its nonprofit parent&#8217;s control over its for-profit operations, reversing a previous plan to fully transition to a public benefit corporation. This decision was made amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45213089/openai-reverses-course-as-sam-altman-says-nonprofit-will-remain-in-control-amid-elon-musks-lawsuit-and-investor-pushback">increasing </a>legal pressure and investor concerns.
WSJ reported that previously, Musk had reacted angrily to Trump's January U.S. Stargate deal with OpenAI, Oracle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) and SoftBank, feeling blindsided by the $500 billion announcement. He questioned the backers&#8217; financial capacity and publicly criticized the deal on X.

Elon Musk Pressured Trump Team To Include xAI In The OpenAI–Oracle Abu Dhabi Deal, Threatening To Block It Otherwise: Report

As Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) gets set to report earnings on Wednesday, ETF investors are looking for more than just numbers, they are looking for big, bold, silicon-fueled signs. And nothing shouts &#8220;next catalyst&#8221; louder than Oracle Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45599854/oracle-to-spend-40-billion-on-nvidia-gb200-chips-for-openais-texas-data-center-report">$40 billion chip binge for its Texas-based OpenAI data center</a>.
The acquisition? Nvidia&#8217;s compute-dense Blackwell GPUs, which are aimed at powering the next wave of generative AI. The risk? Potentially huge for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">chip-loaded ETFs</a>.

More Than Just Hype
Oracle&#8217;s giant order isn&#8217;t a shiny headline moment; it&#8217;s a warning sign that hyperscalers are going all-in on AI infrastructure, and Nvidia remains the only true arms dealer in this emerging digital arms race.
The acquisition may:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Solidify Nvidia&#8217;s status as the default provider of enterprise AI.</li>
<li>Encourage similar purchases by cloud competitors Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).</li>
<li>Cause a new rotation of capital into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor and AI ETFs</a>.</li>
</ul>
ETF Exposure: Who&#8217;s Most At Risk, Or Reward?
Oracle&#8217;s $40 billion play set a fire under Nvidia, and these ETFs are leading the charge for the resulting heat:
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>): Nvidia is its flagship, accounting for a ~21% weighting. A post-earnings rally ignited by the Oracle deal has the potential to rocket SMH into the stratosphere.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): More diversified than SMH, yet Nvidia-dominant (~8–10%). Good upside if Nvidia&#8217;s earnings show the Oracle contract to its full extent.
Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): Not technically semiconductors, but strongly AI-focused. The Oracle-Nvidia-OpenAI triangle is right in its thematic sweet spot.
Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHAT#NYSE">CHAT</a>): One of the more recent entrants to the market, purely dedicated to generative AI. Nvidia&#8217;s leadership in model training infrastructure makes CHAT happy, as the chip giant holds the top position in this fund&#8217;s portfolio.

Here&#8217;s What Charts Show Ahead Of Q1 Results</a>
ETF Traders Are Watching Nvidia&#8217;s Guidance Like Hawks
The deal alone might not appear in full in Q1 figures, but traders are focused on Q2 and full-year guidance. If Nvidia is guiding for high revenue growth correlated to enterprise AI demand, it would provoke:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A turn back into semiconductors, particularly following recent margin concerns.</li>
<li>Thematic ETF flows, as fund managers pursue AI stories with worldwide tailwinds.</li>
<li>Risk repricing, with the Middle East, Oracle, and cloud providers now positioned as Nvidia&#8217;s growth drivers, instead of China.</li>
</ul>
The Catalyst May Already Be Here
For ETF observers, Nvidia&#8217;s report may be less about the last quarter and more about the Blackwell-driven future. The Oracle deal is huge, but if it is just the beginning, ETF traders may be onto a sector re-rating.
Because when a single tech giant spends $40 billion on chips, the ripple effect does not end at one stock, it resonates across an entire ecosystem of ETFs.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. Additionally, the sector may be up in anticipation of NVIDIA's upcoming Q1 report.

Some news headlines and social media chatter have stirred excitement—and confusion—over whether all UAE residents now get free access to ChatGPT Plus as part of OpenAI's latest expansion.
What Happened: OpenAI has partnered with the UAE to integrate ChatGPT across various public sectors, including education, healthcare and government services.
This initiative marks the UAE as the first country to roll out nationwide use of ChatGPT.

Fact-Check: No, OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus Isn't Free For All UAE Residents

While the export restrictions on Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 AI chip have dented its earnings estimates for the first quarter, the recently signed contracts in the Middle East could surprise the second quarter guidance on the upside.
What Happened: According to T3 Live, Nvidia&#8217;s earnings estimates fell for the first time in years after the company took a $5.5 billion hit because of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">export restrictions on the H20 AI chip</a>.
However, President Donald Trump&#8216;s dealmaking rampage in the Middle East during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, with a major emphasis on AI, could bring a positive change to its second-quarter estimates.
These deals include the sale of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45602111/600b-ai-opportunity-nvidias-18000-chip-deal-with-saudi-arabias-humain-puts-middle-east-front-of-the-line-says-wedbushs-dan-ives">18,000 Blackwell chips</a> to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Humain. Additionally, the U.S. is partnering with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39496617/uae-eyes-deeper-collaboration-with-us-in-ai-race-after-microsofts-1-5b-investment-in-local-firm">United Arab Emirates to build</a> a major AI campus, and Nvidia is joining the party.
Also, Oracle Corp.

However, according to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45608914/nvidia-earnings-on-deck-can-ai-darling-beat-the-streets-high-bar-amid-china-headwin"> Bank of America analyst</a> Vivek Arya, Nvidia&#8217;s gross margins could drop due to a $5.5 billion inventory write-off from U.S. restrictions on high-end H20 chip sales to China.
This could slash gross margins from 71% to 58%, pushing pro forma EPS down to $0.74, 16% below consensus. He highlights that Nvidia is itself estimating a $15 billion reduction in FY26 sales due to the H20 ban, significantly higher than analyst expectations.
Despite these risks, Bank of America maintains a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Nvidia with a $160 price target, suggesting a 22% upside.

Why It Matters: According to the technical analysis of its simple daily moving averages, Nvidia&#8217;s closing price of $131.29 apiece as of Friday was above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages.
The relative strength index at 63 was still neutral but approaching the overbought mark of 70. Whereas, its momentum indicator, the MACD line, was positive as its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA, indicating a bullish trend.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect earnings per share of $0.88 for the first quarter, a 43% increase from the prior year, while its revenue is projected at $43.4 billion, up 65% from a year ago.
Price Action: Nvidia's shares closed 1.16% lower on Friday. The stock was down 5.08% on a year-to-date basis, and 15.27% higher over a year. In pre-market on Tuesday, the stock was up 2.7%
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that Nvidia had a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long term.

Nvidia To Be Hit By China Chip Export Curbs Or Deliver Q2 Guidance Surprise After Middle East Deal? Here's What Charts Show Ahead Of Q1 Results

The past week in tech has been a whirlwind of AI-related news. From Marc Andreessen&#8217;s optimistic outlook on AI&#8217;s economic potential to Mark Cuban&#8217;s skepticism about corporate adoption, the conversation around artificial intelligence is heating up.

Musk's Grok Scrutinized, Oracle Bets Big On Nvidia, Google Doubles Down On Search: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) reportedly plans to spend approximately $40 billion to purchase 400,000 of Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45572904/nvidia-powers-big-gains-for-quanta-pegatron-as-ai-demand-explodes">GB200 AI "superchips"</a> to power a massive new data center for OpenAI in Abilene, Texas.
What Happened: The site is part of Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure project spearheaded by OpenAI and SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>).
Once completed, the facility will deliver 1.2 gigawatts of power, making it one of the largest AI data centers globally, according to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a9cd130f-f6bf-4750-98cc-19d87394e657">a</a> report by the Financial Times, citing several people familiar with the matter.
Oracle will lease the site for 15 years and provide compute capacity to OpenAI, which no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45539207/sam-altmans-openai-raises-116-billion-for-texas-data-center-as-it-moves-to-reduce-reliance-on-microsoft-report">longer relies exclusively</a> on Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) for infrastructure support.
The Texas facility is being developed by Crusoe and Blue Owl Capital, with more than $15 billion in debt and equity raised, including a total of $9.6 billion loan from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>).

Construction began in June 2024, and the center is expected to be fully operational by mid-2026.
Once finished, its scale will be comparable to Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45511489/elon-musk-touts-xais-colossus-2-as-first-gigawatt-ai-supercluster-powered-by-168-tesla-megapacks-amid-agi-push">proposed expansion</a> of his "Colossus" data center in Memphis, Tennessee, which aims to accommodate around 1 million Nvidia chips.
Why It's Important: Previously, OpenAI relied heavily on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. However, earlier this year, the two companies agreed to end their exclusivity deal after OpenAI&#8217;s compute needs began to outpace Microsoft's capacity, the report added.
Earlier this week, it was also reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45550033/openai-teams-up-with-iphone-designer-jony-ive-as-chatgpt-maker-makes-push-into-hardware-apple-shares-slide">OpenAI is acquiring</a> Jony Ive's AI device startup, io Products, in a $6.5 billion all-stock deal.
Ive, known for designing the iPhone and other iconic Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) products, will join forces with OpenAI to develop AI hardware.
Price Action: Oracle shares dipped 0.013% in after-hours trading, reaching $155.95 at the time of writing, after falling 0.85% during regular trading hours on Friday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Oracle 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Everybody "knows" that value investing doesn't work anymore. It's in all the headlines.
Investing today is about technology, everyone says. It's about artificial intelligence. It's about quantum computing, about the rebirth of nuclear energy.
Some of this is true, some isn't, but what's really not true is that value investing doesn't work. In fact, it still works better than just about any other investing approach.
The reason people say otherwise is because they've got value all wrong. "Value," they think, is just another word for "cheap." But most cheap stocks are cheap because they're bad investments.
Here's how to invest in value the right way using just two metrics – and beat the markets handily.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What People Get Wrong About Value</h2>
There are a couple of problems with the way people define value investing. First, we need to address the fact that the sound of it is boring.  Value investing sounds like a professor with tweed elbow patches smoking a pipe in an old dusty office in some brick and ivy university somewhere up in Vermont or Maine during a snowstorm. It just sounds boring.
Perhaps if we could call it vulture investing, market pillaging, or some other equally interesting name, it would attract more attention.
But then again, since we seem to have a corner on it, do we really want to attract all that much attention?
Second, let's talk about the way people track value. For instance, the Russell Value Index is supposed to represent value. When you compare it, growth has outperformed value for several hundred consecutive years, according to the literature.
That may be a slight exaggeration, but you get the point.
When you examine the Russell 1000 Value index, it's allegedly the bottom half of the Russell 2000 weighted by value components.
The top holdings include Berkshire Hathaway, Cisco Systems, McDonald&#8217;s, Walt Disney, Raytheon, and Caterpillar. These are all great companies.
What they are not is value companies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Truth About Value</h2>
When we really look at the hard data, the truth is that absolute value never stopped working. When you look at companies that are trading at discounts to asset value, low multiples of the cash produced by the business, and low multiples of liquidation value, which is still one of my favorites, the truth is that they have continued to work and work very well.
The key thing that most people leave out is they will run a list of companies trading below book value and will say, &#8220;Look, these underperformed the market.&#8221; That is, in fact, true.
More than half of those companies are unprofitable and overleveraged, and their products are going completely out of style. You know, they are CD-ROM manufacturers or buggy whip makers in the business of making something we are never going to use again.
Many of the companies that trade below book value, in all honesty, do so for a reason. They are headed for the garbage pile.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Value Work: Financial Strength</h2>
How do we get rid of those? You have to adjust for a couple of factors:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You want strength in the financial statements.</li>
<li>You want the ability to survive, and you prefer that they are profitable.</li>
</ul>
Two papers, with several follow-ups, have come out in the last twenty-five years that show us how to do this.
One of these is Joseph Piotrowski&#8217;s publication &#8220;Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers.&#8221; The F-score is based on that paper.
Value plus the F-score crush the market. When we add value plus the F-score plus credit scores, I prefer the Altman Z score—then you annihilate the market.
The key variable here is profitability and financial strength.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Missing Factor: Profitability</h2>
The other paper, which very few people seem to have read, is important.
In 2013, an economist, Robert Novy-Marks, published a paper that should have but didn&#8217;t redefine the entire playing field for investing. It is called &#8220;The Other Side of Value: The Gross Profitability Premium.&#8221;
Basically, they found that highly profitable companies outperform, no matter how cheap or expensive they may look. It is a single idea that gross profitability is the missing dimension, the missing factor.
It has found its way into some of the academic models. Novy-Marksed followed up on it with &#8220;Profitability Retrospective: What Have We Learned?&#8221;
This is key because many people today will tell you that quality matters. We have got to buy these quality companies. Everyone has a 16, 17, or 18-factor model that supposedly helps us identify truly high-quality companies.
Novy-Marks has found in both the original 2013 study and the retrospective today that you only need one factor to identify quality. That factor is profitability, which is defined in the original paper as gross profits as a percentage of assets.
The higher that is, the better the company is.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quality Simplified</h2>
It explains all of the excess returns from so-called quality investing. When you ask what exactly we are looking for here, it turns out it all boils down to one simple measure.
You can use an 18-factor model, or you can use just gross profitability as a percent of assets. When you look at the largest cap companies that are in the upper end of the range: Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), MasterCard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>), Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), UnitedHealth (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) &#8211; all of the same companies that would show up if we use that super sophisticated, 18-factor quality model for which you will pay a massive premium to have access to the data – it turns out you can get the same list using just gross profitability.
Gross profitability also explains all of the defensive strategies.
All of the defensive low beta stocks are just highly profitable companies that also are growing their asset base slowly. They are doing very conservative investing. They are not de-worsifying the business. They are not trying to grow at a high rate.
They are just ridiculously profitable companies that are willing to sit in place and do what they are good at and continually pile up profits and cash.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unifying Factor</h2>
Profitability explains quality. It explains the low beta and low volatility phenomena.
Many investors have looked for new ways to define value. Cash flow to price, earnings forecast, intangible adjusted tangible book value, adjust for a lot of different factors in R&amp;D. These are going to "fix" value's alleged shortcomings in a day and age of high technology.
The truth is that all these newer value strategies sneak in profitability as a factor in addition to value. Profitability by itself delivers market-beating returns.
Profitability plus value, whether that is price to book or a different model that works, like enterprise value to earnings before interest and taxes, beats the market even more.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Value Appears to Have Underperformed</h2>
When we look at the underperformance of "value" since 2007, the truth is that it's because we junked up the value universe. We put a lot of garbage in there. There are many stocks trading below book value that are biotech startup companies. They are below the cash balance on the balance sheet, but they are burning cash at a rapid rate and will soon be out of money. The book value will, in fact, disappear.
There are all these companies that look cheap but are wildly unprofitable. They are burning through money.
Then you have a lot of garbage that came in through the two SPAC movements in 2007 and then again in 2020 when companies that were still basically at the garage stage of existence suddenly went public.
We really junked up the value universe with a lot of garbage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Foundation of Investment Success</h2>
Profitability is not just another factor but another tool.
It is a foundational tool that unifies multiple styles. It is part of quality, defensive value, and even some growth stocks.
Profitability explains a lot of the strategies that people use without relying on complicated, expensive 18-factor models.
If we take low-volatility companies and buy the most profitable, we are going to outperform the market.
If we just buy the most profitable companies, we are going to outperform the market.
If we buy the most profitable companies that are trading at low multiples of the cash produced by the business, we are going to absolutely crush the markets.
This is not a day trading system or a short-term trading system. It is the single best way to build long-term portfolios that beat the market and produce lasting wealth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Unified Theory of Investing</h2>
Profitability explains almost everything that happens in the market. If you have a great business, it is wildly profitable.
If you are a quality company with high returns on equity, low leverage, and earning stability, you are a very profitable company.
If you are a defensive company with low volatility and lower beta, all of the outperformance of these strategies is because they are profitable companies that are not reinvesting in the business to rapidly grow the asset base.
You have low-investment, profitable companies. There is your entire defensive strategy.
The underperformance of value investing over the last fifteen years or so is entirely because of the addition of so many unprofitable companies. If we use F-scores and profitability to screen out just the profitable undervalued companies, performance goes through the roof.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Simple Path to Success</h2>
Most people won't do it because it doesn't make you rich by next Tuesday. It is not the absolute most exciting strategy on the planet. What it does is give you a very easy, quick way to uncover opportunities.
Two scores.
That is all you have to check. You can put together a universe of companies that can crush the market.
Basically, no folks, value investing is not dead.
If anything, if you understand that financial strength and profitability are the key to making value investing go from boring to the most exciting thing you can possibly do with your money, value investing is very much alive and still very successful.

'G42, OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, Softbank Group And Cisco Today Announced Their Partnership To Build Stargate UAE' - OpenAI

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya maintained a Buy rating on Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $130</a> on Tuesday.
The company benefits from continued Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) CPU share gains in server and PC, a rising tide in AI with higher content from upcoming rack-scale pipeline, along with related Middle East $10 billion multi-year contracts, and cyclical recovery, the analyst noted.
Arya&#8217;s segment analysis shows:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>EPS power of $6.44 and $8.52 in the calendar year 2026 and 2027, or 15% and 20% above the Street consensus</li>
<li>A breadth of ownership across large-cap US active fund managers falling to only ~23% (versus May 2024 peak of 40%+ ownership)</li>
<li>Relative weightage versus SPX of only 0.2 times (versus a peak of 0.8 times year-on-year), as per the analyst&#8217;s BofA strategy data.</li>
</ul>
Valuation at just 20 times and 16 times PE on current calendar year 2026 and 2027 consensus (or 18 times and 13 times PE on Arya&#8217;s EPS power scenario) seems too compelling for a high-quality compute franchise with consistent management execution capable of growing topline 20%+ and adjusted EPS 30%+ for the next few years as per Arya.

The analyst also flagged AMD&#8217;s recent $6 billion addition to its buyback program.
Even though Arya expects Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) (80%+ share) and custom chips (10-15% share) to dominate, he noted AMD could be a credible 3%-4% share of the over $300 billion-$400 billion TAM in AI accelerator.
He said many customers have significant internal workloads and compute requirements for internal teams, and AMD can play an essential role.
Arya noted that the company&#8217;s recent acquisitions of rack-scale systems and improved software position it well, and it has received several public recognitions at Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), xAI, and others.
He expects AMD to showcase an impressive set of partners and AI pipeline across accelerators, systems, software, CPU, and networking at its upcoming June 12 AI event.
Overall, Arya noted potential upside in each of the following end markets Data Center CPU, Data Center GPU, Client/PC CPU, Gaming Consoles, and Embedded for an aggregate sales upside of ~$6.6 billion by calendar year 2027.
Price Action:&nbsp;AMD stock traded higher by 1.76% to $115.46 at Wednesday&#8217;s last check.

AMD Could See EPS Upside By 2027 Despite Nvidia's Over 80% Market Share: Analyst

OpenAI&#8216;s Texas-based data center has reportedly secured an additional $11.6 billion in funding.
What Happened: The funding, a combination&nbsp;of debt and equity, would be used to expand the data center from two to eight buildings.&nbsp;According to Crusoe, this will bring the project&#8217;s total funding to $15 billion. Both Crusoe and the investment firm Blue Owl Capital are participating in the latest funding round, according to a report by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-data-center-funding-microsoft-75e879b6">The Wall Street Journal</a>&nbsp;on Wednesday.
Set to be completed next year, the data center will be OpenAI&#8217;s largest, housing up to 50,000 Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell chips per building for training large language models.
The development of this site in the city of Abilene is a crucial&nbsp;step in minimizing OpenAI's reliance&nbsp;on&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). OpenAI had previously relied exclusively on Microsoft for its computing power. However, last spring, OpenAI struck a deal with&nbsp;Oracle&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) to use the Abilene site&nbsp;after Microsoft gave its approval.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45533976/mr-wonderful-kevin-o-leary-says-elizabeth-warren-taking-an-un-american-position-by-challen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mr Wonderful Kevin O&#8217;Leary Says Elizabeth Warren Taking An &#8216;Un American&#8217; Position By Challenging Crypto Law: &#8216;Bill Has Nothing To Do With Trump&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters:&nbsp;This development comes in the wake of OpenAI&#8217;s ongoing efforts to reduce its dependence on Microsoft. Earlier this month, OpenAI had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45244190/microsoft-faces-fresh-revenue-hit-as-openai-plans-to-reduce-payouts-by-2030-report">plans to cut</a> the share of revenue it pays to Microsoft by at least half by the end of the decade.
Moreover, another report suggested that the ChatGPT-maker was in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340216/openais-ipo-ambitions-hang-in-the-balance-as-microsoft-negotiates-equity-report">high-stakes</a> negotiations with Microsoft to revise the terms of their multibillion-dollar partnership, with a key point of contention being the equity Microsoft would receive in the restructured OpenAI entity.
OpenAI plans to develop its own data center network as part of a long-term strategy. Earlier this year, CEO Sam Altman also announced a $500 billion infrastructure project called Stargate, in partnership with SoftBank and Oracle.
The new funding and expansion of the Texas data center signify a critical step in OpenAI&#8217;s strategic move towards self-reliance and its ambitious long-term infrastructure project, Stargate.

<h3>A Look at Oracle P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 75.1 in the Software industry, Oracle Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 37.47. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
