Sponsored content from i2i Marketing Group, LLC *Disseminated on behalf of Foremost Clean Energy (NASDAQ: FMST) AI’s Power Crunch & Critical Minerals: Why FMST Matters Now  AI doesn’t have a computing problem anymore — it has a power problem. As AI grows, the real bottleneck isn’t chips or algorithms — it’s reliable electricity. Hyperscalers like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta poured $320B into AI infrastructure in 2025, yet data centers already consume ~1.5% of global electricity, with demand projected to grow 30% per year. Wind and solar alone can’t provide the baseload power AI requires, and major tech leaders are now publicly acknowledging that energy — especially baseload power — is central to the future of AI infrastructure. As Microsoft’s Brad Smith warns, “Grid capacity will limit AI growth,” and Google similarly emphasizes energy as the next critical bottleneck for AI. Foremost Clean Energy (NASDAQ: FMST) is positioned at the epicenter of this emerging energy and supply crisis. Backed by Denison Mines — a $2.5B sector leader and ~19% owner — FMST isn’t just exploring; it’s advancing 10 properties in the Athabasca Basin, the world’s highest-grade uranium district. With a tiny float of ~10M shares, proven 550% momentum, and a fully funded ~US$9M 2026 exploration program, FMST is a coiled spring waiting for the coming uranium boom. Tech’s demand signals are intensifying. In a major strategic move, Anthropic committed ~$30B in Microsoft Azure compute capacity and plans to scale Claude using up to 1GW of NVIDIA’s Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems, with NVIDIA investing up to $10B and Microsoft up to $5B into the company — underscoring how AI growth is locking in long‑term compute and power commitments. Uranium’s role in the energy transition has also sharpened. U.S. production covers only a sliver of domestic needs, leaving more than 95% of supply imported. Meanwhile, uranium futures topped $100 per pound in early 2026, reflecting tightening markets and long‑term demand. FMST’s potential is further magnified at the Jean Lake property, where a 2,500m drill program has now been completed following high‑grade results including 7.50g/t gold over 7.66m, 3.28oz/ton gold over 0.48m, and 1.26% Li₂O over 3.35m.Strategic core re-sampling and follow-up work are underway to guide future exploration. With strategic Denison backing, small float, and a fully funded exploration plan, FMST sits at the intersection of technology demand, energy security, and critical mineral supply, positioning it as a key play in the emerging uranium and lithium market.

Today's Exclusive News MarketBeat Week in Review – 02/02 - 02/06Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 2/7/2026. Stocks rallied to close another volatile week as investors bought the dip in technology stocks. Early in the week the sector sold off indiscriminately amid concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) spending and AI's impact on the software industry. As the dust settles, buyers are returning and finding value in names that became oversold. But this is more than a technology story. Industrials and finance stocks continue to catch investors' attention, as do several high-quality dividend names. We're now in the heart of earnings season. As of Jan. 30, 33% of S&P 500 companies had reported and 75% had beaten earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates. While that beat rate is slightly below the five-year average of 78%, reported earnings are averaging 9.1% above estimates — ahead of the five-year average of 7.7%. tock Market Panic: Trump Just Dropped a Bomb on Your Stocks

Articles by Thomas Hughes Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) illustrated a case where "good enough" wasn't good enough. AMD shares fell after a solid report because lighter-than-expected guidance called its valuation into question. Thomas Hughes explained the fundamental and technical reasons that make this a buying opportunity that bulls have been waiting for. Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE: TSN) is another stock moving higher after better-than-expected results. Hughes noted that the combination of potential share-price appreciation and the company's solid dividend provides a foundation that should lead to higher highs. Hughes also recapped the earnings report from Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC). The downstream oil company delivered a strong report that confirmed its strong positioning amid expectations for a bullish oil and gas market. Articles by Sam Quirke Qualcomm Corp. (NASDAQ: QCOM) gave up two years' worth of gains after its quarterly results. Sam Quirke explained why long-term investors have cause for concern, while noting that traders may have a short-term opportunity. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) climbed to a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio above 400x. Quirke gave two reasons why bulls may want to chase and one reason to exercise caution. Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ: SNDK) continues to be a strong performer, though new growth is likely to bring increased volatility. Quirke broke down the company's earnings and offered suggestions for how to trade SNDK stock in February. Articles by Chris Markoch Cybersecurity stocks weren't immune to the tech sell-off. Chris Markoch explained why a bullish upgrade to Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT) may set a floor for CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), which has continued to slip in 2026. Markoch also highlighted the strong performance from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Its report reinforced a growing commercial business and supported the company's long-term growth story. The nomination of Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve chair has introduced more predictability about the timing of rate cuts. With that in mind, Markoch highlighted two REITs that are well-positioned for a stable-rate environment. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) delivered an earnings report that followed a pattern seen at other hyperscalers — strong growth alongside heavy capital spending on AI infrastructure. As Ryan Hasson noted, investors pared back GOOGL stock as they weighed the long-term return on that AI investment. Hasson also used MarketBeat's MarketRank™ tool to point investors to stocks backed by solid analyst and institutional support. The names on this list have fundamentals that can help investors navigate a volatile market. Articles by Leo Miller Defense stocks were among last year's top performers. Leo Miller reviewed three defense companies that recently reported earnings and explained why the outlook for the sector remains strong. Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) is a stock investors have loved to hate. The shares were down about 50% from their July 2025 high before earnings, but Miller explained why the stock is climbing and outlined a potential opportunity that could push SMCI higher. Miller also analyzed the earnings report from PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP). The stock has been rising after an activist investor took a large position, and Miller argued the company's earnings may provide a more organic reason to buy PEP stock. Articles by Nathan Reiff Momentum traders will want Nathan Reiff's piece on three momentum stocks that outperformed the S&P 500 in January and still have room to run. Each of these names has returned at least 56% year-to-date. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) received a boost from two multi-million-dollar deals. Reiff explained the nature of those agreements and why investors remain skeptical that one-off deals will translate into a profitable long-term business. Gold has seen a sharp pullback, but Reiff noted the outlook for the metal remains constructive. He highlighted three mining companies with strong fundamentals and catalysts that make investors bullish. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Unity Software (NYSE: U) is down about 25% amid concerns that AI is eroding the company's "complexity advantage." Jeffrey Neal Johnson outlined two reasons why it may not be game over for U stock. Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS) made a parabolic move in 2025, rising more than 400%. As Johnson wrote, that shift has moved the conversation about Ondas from a speculative research play to a growing defense contractor with fundamentals that could support further share-price gains. One segment of tech that has weathered the washout is suppliers of the memory AI needs. This week Johnson highlighted two winners positioned to capitalize on the memory supercycle. Articles by Jordan Chussler Jordan Chussler began the week by reviewing the recent earnings from the Magnificent 7. Chussler helped investors look past short-term price moves and identify the fundamentals that anchored those reports. Ahead of retail earnings later this month, Chussler analyzed two retailers that have introduced new CEOs and what those changes may mean for upcoming results. The space race is heating up and many investors are watching for a potential SpaceX IPO in 2026. Chussler explained why investors may want to keep an eye on AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS), a SpaceX rival already delivering revenue and that has caught Wall Street's eye.
