By Finterra Research TeamPublished: January 19, 2026 Introduction As of early 2026, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) stands at a defining crossroads. Once the undisputed champion of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, the company has spent the last 18 months aggressively rebranding itself as an artificial intelligence and robotics powerhouse. This shift comes at a volatile [...]
As of January 19, 2026, the semiconductor industry has officially entered what many are calling the "Glass Age." Driven by the insatiable appetite for compute power required by generative AI, the world’s leading chipmakers have begun a historic transition from organic substrates to glass. This shift is not merely an incremental upgrade; it represents a [...]
In a milestone that signals a definitive shift in the global semiconductor balance of power, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced on January 12, 2026, the successful beam extraction and performance validation of the POWER-750H, China’s first domestically developed tandem-type high-energy hydrogen ion implanter. This development represents the completion of the "final piece" [...]
With gold near record highs and policy, currency, and geopolitical risks pushing investors toward hard assets, GLD offers a simple way to ride or hedge the bull market.
ORCL stock slid after bondholders filed a lawsuit tied to AI-related debt, but strong cloud growth and a massive backlog suggest the long-term thesis remains intact.
In the early weeks of 2026, the artificial intelligence industry has reached a pivotal realization: the race for dominance is no longer being won solely by those with the smallest transistors, but by those who can best "stitch" them together. At the heart of this paradigm shift is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (NYSE: TSM) [...]
Bitcoin fell early Monday after peaking near $95,000 over the weekend, triggering heavy deleveraging across the crypto market; liquidations stand at $874.01 million over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin ETFs saw $394.7 million in net outflows on Friday, while Ethereum ETFs reported $4.64 million in net inflows.
As of January 19, 2026, the global semiconductor landscape has undergone a tectonic shift. After nearly a decade of playing catch-up to Asian rivals, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has officially entered high-volume manufacturing (HVM) for its 18A (1.8nm-class) process node. This milestone marks the successful completion of CEO Pat Gelsinger’s audacious "five nodes in four years" [...]
As of January 19, 2026, the artificial intelligence hardware landscape has reached a definitive turning point, centered on the resolution of a multi-year rivalry between the traditional GPU powerhouses and specialized inference startups. The catalyst for this seismic shift is the definitive "strategic absorption" of Groq’s core engineering team and technology by NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) [...]
As of January 19, 2026, the artificial intelligence landscape has undergone a seismic shift, moving from the monolithic, energy-hungry data centers of the "Cloud Era" to the palm of the user's hand. The recent announcements at CES 2026 have solidified a new reality: intelligence is no longer a service you rent from a server; it [...]
The artificial intelligence industry is currently grappling with the staggering energy demands of traditional data centers. However, a paradigm shift is occurring at the "edge"—the point where digital intelligence meets the physical world. In a series of breakthrough announcements culminating in early 2026, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has unveiled its third-generation neuromorphic processor, Loihi 3, marking [...]
