MountBay Energy Teams Up with Marquee Equity to Power AI growth
Marquee Equity brings deep fundraising expertise: with a track record of supporting over $3 billion in transaction value and 900+ fundraises, Marquee will guide MountBay through an investor roadmap strategy—from pitch deck refinement to LP outreach, access to Marquee's network of over 25,000 investment firms and 6,000 angels.
Vrushabhraj Tanawade, CEO, MountBay Energy, commented:
'We're thrilled to partner with Marquee Equity. Their proven fundraising platform—from capital‑market structuring to investor engagement—will power our mission: delivering utility‑grade, AI‑optimized clean energy where it's most needed. This collaboration marks a critical milestone that positions MountBay as a leader at the nexus of infrastructure, technology, and sustainability.'
MountBay is embracing a wave of major clean-energy investment trends: driven by private-equity firms and global clean‑energy investors looking to deploy capital into renewable tech, storage, and grid‑resilience projects. Deals like ReNew Energy's $100 million marquee investment from British International Investment highlight the appetite for capital-intensive, scalable clean-power infrastructure.
Nikita Garg, Director at Marquee Equity, added:
'MountBay represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking, impact-driven partner we look to back—blending AI, infrastructure, and clean energy to solve some of the decade's most urgent power demands. We're excited to bring our investor network and capital strategy to the table to help scale this vision globally.'
Key strategic objectives powered by the partnership:
Capital raise of $980 million – 1.1 billion to expedite deployment of large-scale solar + BESS projects.
Rapid turnkey delivery of AI-enabled microgrids to hyperscalers and edge-data facilities.
De-risked development path via investor-led governance, improved capital structure, and enhanced market positioning ahead of future rounds.
'Why now?' MountBay sits at a pivotal crossroads: while hyperscalers require dependable, low-carbon power, traditional tax-equity sponsors are squeezed by rising interest rates—creating demand for alternative funding structures. With Marquee's capital-raise muscle and MountBay's technical proficiency in AI-powered grid and renewable assets, the partnership is uniquely positioned to deliver scale, ROI, and ESG impact.

4 Genius Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy in August
Key Points Nvidia's growth rate could reaccelerate with its China export license expected to be restored. Taiwan Semiconductor and ASML are seeing increased chip demand. Alphabet is the cheapest big tech stock by far, and looks like a steal at these levels. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Artificial intelligence (AI) investing is still a prevailing theme in the market, and there are several stocks that look like excellent buys in August. If you're looking to increase your AI exposure, then taking a look at these four is a great idea. At the top of my list for best AI stocks to buy in August are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and ASML (NASDAQ: ASML). These four have a great combination of growth and value. 1. Nvidia Nvidia has been the top stock of AI investing for a reason: Its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the nearly universal computing equipment for training and running AI workloads. The demand for Nvidia GPUs is still quite strong, and it could get another growth catalyst in the near future. Back in April, the U.S. government revoked Nvidia's license to export to China the H20 chips that it had specifically designed to meet export restrictions. This was a huge blow to Nvidia's business, with Nvidia losing out on $8 billion in projected revenue from the $45 billion it had expected to generate. Fortunately, Nvidia has reapplied for its export license and says it has assurances from the government that it will be approved. While this won't affect Q2 results (which Nvidia will report in late August), a restart of H20 sales to China should boost growth for the remainder of the year. This will give Nvidia's stock a strong boost, making it a smart stock to buy in August. 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor is the world's largest chip foundry, and makes chips for companies like Nvidia that lack the capabilities to do it themselves. TSMC is winning business from other foundries, making it the clear leader in this space. It has already reported Q2 results, which delivered impressive 44% year-over-year revenue growth in U.S. dollars. However, that's just the beginning. Management expects that for the five-year period starting in 2025, it will deliver nearly a 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue. With TSMC's stock trading at 25 times forward earnings, it's not that expensive right now. 3. Alphabet Alphabet recently reported impressive earnings, with revenue rising 14% year over year and diluted earnings per share (EPS) rising 22%. Normally, that would cause a big tech company to be assigned a forward earnings multiple in the high 20s to the low 30s, but Alphabet doesn't receive the same respect as other big tech companies. It trades for less than 20 times forward earnings, making it cheaper than the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which trades at 24 times forward earnings. This cheap price tag is assigned to Alphabet's stock because investors are worried about Google Search losing market share to generative AI products. However, that hasn't surfaced. Google has integrated AI search overviews, which bridge the gap between a full generative AI experience and traditional search. Management stated that over 2 billion people have used this and that it has the same monetization as a traditional search. There have been no signs of weakness with Google Search, as revenue rose 12% year over year in the recent quarter. This indicates that Alphabet is cheap for no solid reason, which makes it a great buy for August. 4. ASML ASML is probably the least known company on this list, but it may be the most important. ASML has a technological monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, which chip fabricators (like Taiwan Semiconductor) use to lay the microscopic electrical traces on chips. Without ASML's machines, none of the AI tech we enjoy today would be possible. As chip demand rises, so will demand for ASML machines. While management was a bit bearish on its 2026 outlook thanks to tariff concerns, the long-term trend is still positive for ASML, as it's clear that chip demand is increasing. ASML is still slated to deliver strong growth over the next few years, and its fairly cheap 26 times earnings estimates price tag looks like a steal considering its dominant market position.

Top Analysts Raise Amazon Stock (AMZN) Price Target Despite Pullback on Q2 Earnings
Amazon (AMZN) stock declined more than 8% on Friday despite the e-commerce and cloud computing giant's better-than-expected revenue and earnings for the second quarter. The selloff is being blamed on the subdued outlook and lofty expectations from Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud division, which failed to impress to the extent rival Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure did with its June quarter performance. Ignoring the pullback, top Wall Street analysts remain bullish on Amazon stock, with many raising their price targets to reflect confidence in the company's prospects. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Top Analysts Remain Bullish on AMZN Stock Following the Q2 print, Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post increased the price target for Amazon stock to $272 from $265 and reiterated a Buy rating. The 5-star analyst noted the Q2 revenue and earnings beat. He added that while AWS growth accelerated 60 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 17.5% and was slightly above Street, it lacked a 'capacity-aided top-line beat' similar to Azure and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Additionally, Post noted that AWS margins missed expectations, with over half of the 6.5 percent quarter-over-quarter decline attributed to stock-based compensation (SBC) and forex headwinds. It was also impacted by growing depreciation. On the positive side, Post highlighted that Q3 revenue guidance of $174 billion to $179.5 billion beat the Street's expectation of $173 billion, boosted by a solid Prime Day, with a profit outlook of $15.5 billion to $20.5 billion bracketing the consensus estimate of $19.4 billion. Likewise, Barclays analyst Ross Sandler raised the price target for AMZN stock to $275 from $240 and reaffirmed a Buy rating. The 5-star analyst stated that he suspected 'knives would come out on AWS,' given that rivals' June quarter revenue and backlogs accelerated on AI, and also due to the margin miss. That said, Sandler has not lost any faith and expects AI to add a couple of points by the fourth quarter on Anthropic and other applications built on Claude-4's API. Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted that Amazon's retail posted a strong quarter again, with efficiency reaching all-time highs. Finally, DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria increased the price target for Amazon stock to $265 from $230 and reiterated a Buy rating. The top-rated analyst stated that despite the accelerating revenue in Amazon's retail business and stabilizing growth in AWS, Q2 results were largely overshadowed by capex guidance that is expected to see infrastructure investments accelerate through the second half of the year. Nonetheless, Luria noted that management continues to reiterate that they're seeing an acceleration of customers' transition to the cloud, along with demand for compute still exceeding supply at AWS. Is Amazon Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Overall, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Amazon stock based on 44 Buys versus one Hold recommendation. The average AMZN stock price target of $265.05 indicates 23.4% upside potential from current levels.
