EXCLUSIVE: Vivakor Bets On Permian Boom With 10 Crude Hubs
Vivakor said it owns and operates 10 strategically located pipeline injection stations in the core Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico.
These facilities receive and aggregate crude oil transported by truck from production wells, throughputting volumes into interstate crude oil pipelines that include Centurion (Lotus), Plains Basin Pipeline (PAA), and the West Texas System (EPD).

James Ballengee, Vivakor Chairman and CEO, said its facilities in the Permian enabled it to support increasing volumes from upstream operators, enhance crude blending and compression efficiency, and ultimately drive revenue growth and operating leverage as activity scales.
Ballengee said the Permian continues to be the biggest contributor to U.S. crude oil and NGL production, supporting international and domestic energy demand. Consistent drilling, quantities produced, and barrels brought to key markets bolstered its revenues and business model.
Vivakor's infrastructure directly supports its broader strategy to deliver vertically integrated services in one of the world's most productive oil regions. With the Permian accounting for over 40% of total U.S. oil output, Vivakor's expanded operations give it a front-row seat to the sector's next growth cycle.

This Magnificent Tech Stock Is Soaring After Joining the S&P 500. Should You Buy It?
Key Points The Trade Desk just joined the S&P 500 index, and the news that it would gave the stock a shot in the arm. The programmatic advertising company's share price jumped impressively in the past three months, bringing its valuation to premium levels. The Trade Desk, however, has the potential to justify its valuation and sustain its impressive rally. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Programmatic digital advertising provider The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) is the latest company to join the S&P 500 index, doing so on July 18. The addition explains why shares of the company shot up an impressive 6% on the day following the announcement that it would join. The spike isn't surprising; The Trade Desk's entry into the S&P 500 is a testament to the company's solid profitability and liquidity in the past four quarters. Moreover, the addition to the index has led to an increase in demand for a stock from passive investors and index funds because of a phenomenon called the "index effect." It is worth noting that The Trade Desk was selected to join the S&P 500 over popular names such as Robinhood Markets, AppLovin, Interactive Brokers, and others. It will be replacing Ansys in the index (Ansys was acquired by Synopsys). However, investors may now be wondering if it makes sense to buy The Trade Desk stock as it has shot up more than 59% in the space of just three months as of this writing. Let's see if it is a good idea to buy The Trade Desk following its inclusion in the S&P 500. The Trade Desk's valuation makes it an expensive stock to buy right now The Trade Desk's recent rally has brought the stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 97 as of this writing. That's nearly triple the tech-laden Nasdaq-100 index's average earnings multiple. The forward earnings multiple of 45, though far lower than the trailing multiple, is still on the expensive side. Investors, therefore, will have to pay a huge premium if they are looking to buy the stock right now. For a company that's expected to deliver an increase of just 7% in earnings this year, The Trade Desk seems too richly valued to buy right now. But then, growth-oriented investors will do well to note that the company is operating in a fast-growing market that benefits from the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. A huge addressable opportunity could help the stock maintain its momentum According to one estimate, the programmatic advertising market that The Trade Desk serves could grow by 10x between 2024 and 2033, generating a whopping $236 billion in revenue at the end of the forecast period. The Trade Desk has generated just under $2.6 billion in revenue in the past 12 months, indicating that it still has massive room for growth over the next decade. An important point to note here is that The Trade Desk's growth is better than that of large competitors such as Meta Platforms and Alphabet. The company reported a 25% year-over-year increase in revenue in Q1, which was well above the 16% growth in Meta's advertising business during the same quarter. Alphabet's Google advertising business, on the other hand, grew at a much slower pace of 8% in Q1. Of course, The Trade Desk is a much smaller company right now, but its robust growth suggests that it is gradually making its presence felt in the multibillion-dollar digital ad market. The company's AI tools are playing a central role in helping it register a robust growth rate, with two-thirds of its customer base currently using its Kokai programmatic advertising platform. The company points out that Kokai analyzes 17 million real-time opportunities every second to help advertisers and brands buy relevant ad inventory that can be served across different channels such as video, audio, display, social, connected TVs, and others. The data-driven advertising enables The Trade Desk to optimize campaigns so that its customers can generate higher returns on the ad dollars they spend. The Trade Desk claims that its clients who are using Kokai have seen a 42% drop in cost per unique reach, a metric that refers to the amount spent to reach a unique individual through an advertisement. Not surprisingly, the company says that its "active contract negotiations are at all-time highs." All this indicates that The Trade Desk's growth could pick up pace in the future. Consensus estimates, for instance, project its bottom-line growth rate to nearly triple to 20% in 2026 as compared to this year. The Trade Desk has the potential to maintain an upward earnings growth trajectory, as it expects the cost savings achieved by advertisers using its platform to be reinvested back into advertising campaigns. As such, don't be surprised to see an uptick in The Trade Desk's earnings growth in the long run, suggesting that the company has the ability to justify its valuation. That's why this tech stock could still attract growth investors even after the handsome gains it has clocked lately. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $447,134!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $40,090!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $652,133!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join , and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.*Stock Advisor returns as of July 14, 2025 Suzanne Frey, an executive at Alphabet, is a member of The Motley Fool's board of directors.

ROSEN, A RANKED AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT) between June 22, 2023 and June 24, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 25, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Sarepta securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Sarepta class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 25, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ELEVIDYS, a prescription gene therapy intended for certain patients being treated for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, posed significant safety risks to patients; (2) ELEVIDYS trial regimes and protocols failed to detect severe side effects; (3) the severity of adverse events from ELEVIDYS treatment would cause Sarepta to halt recruitment and dosing in ELEVIDYS trials, attract regulatory scrutiny, and create greater risk around the therapy's present and expanded approvals; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants materially misled with, and/or lacked a reasonable basis for, their positive statements. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Sarepta class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected]

Could This Monster Nvidia-Backed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Stock Be the Best Bargain in the Market Right Now?
Key Points Nvidia is invested in a number of different artificial intelligence (AI) businesses, many of which have become strategic partners in its ecosystem. While Nvidia holds a position in CoreWeave, the company also has an equity stake in another budding neocloud provider. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › Since OpenAI commercially launched ChatGPT on Nov. 30, 2022, shares of semiconductor company Nvidia have soared by more than 900%. As of closing bell on July 16, Nvidia boasted a market capitalization of $4.2 trillion -- making it the most valuable company in the world. While these trends suggest Nvidia is perhaps the most dominant force in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, the company has a number of strategic relationships that have helped contribute to its growth. Let's explore some of the companies Nvidia has partnered with and analyze why these relationships are important. From there, I'll detail one particular Nvidia-backed data center stock that I think growth investors should keep an eye on right now. What companies is Nvidia invested in? According to Nvidia's latest 13F filing, the company has investments in the following businesses: CoreWeave Arm Holdings Applied Digital Recursion Pharmaceuticals Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) WeRide Both CoreWeave and Nebius are major players in the data center infrastructure market. While I think each of these stocks are deserving of attention, I see Nebius as an under-the-radar bargain right now. What is Nebius? Nebius had an interesting path to relevancy in the AI realm. The company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market in late 2024 following a spin-off from Russian internet conglomerate Yandex. Subsequently, Nebius raised $700 million through a private placement with Nvidia being one of the participants. Similar to CoreWeave, Nebius can be thought of as a neocloud. Through various data centers located across Europe and the U.S., companies have the ability to access Nvidia's GPUs through a cloud-based infrastructure services platform. While the company's infrastructure-as-a-service competes with CoreWeave and Oracle, I see plenty of room for multiple winners. Rising AI infrastructure spend bodes well for Nebius Just this year alone, cloud hyperscalers Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are expected to spend roughly $260 billion on capital expenditures (capex) -- much of which will be allocated toward AI data centers and additional chip access. Moreover, Meta Platforms recently invested $14.3 billion into data labeling start-up Scale AI. In addition, the social media and metaverse behemoth has been on a hiring blitz -- poaching top researchers from OpenAI and other competing platforms to help create the Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) operation. These investments underscore the idea that AI's largest developers are building sophisticated ecosystems in need of high-performance compute power and tightly integrated infrastructure services. I see the tidal wave of capex investment from hyperscalers as a bullish secular tailwind for Nebius and the neocloud environment. Is Nebius stock a buy right now? As of the end of the first quarter, Nebius' AI infrastructure business was operating at an annual recurring revenue (ARR) run rate of $249 million. While this was good for 684% growth year over year, management is guiding for an ARR run rate between $750 million and $1 billion by the end of the year. To me, this forecast suggests that Nebius is well positioned to take advantage of rising infrastructure spend throughout the second half of the year as Nvidia continues rolling out its Blackwell architecture. Just recently, equity research analyst Alexander Duval of Goldman Sachs placed a price target of $68 on Nebius -- implying 28% upside from prices as of closing bell on July 16. Andrew Beale of Arete Research is even more bullish, as his $84 price forecast implies that Nebius is trading for nearly a 60% discount. While Nebius stock's 139% share price appreciation might suggest the stock is overbought, I wouldn't turn my back on the company just yet. CoreWeave went public earlier this year and has been one of the AI infrastructure market's biggest storylines ever since. Moreover, Oracle's success in infrastructure services also adds a layer of credibility to the broader neocloud opportunity and helps underscore the need for these businesses as demand for chip access continues to surge. In my eyes, Nebius -- which is far smaller than CoreWeave and Oracle -- has mostly gotten caught up in macro-driven momentum. With that said, considering the company's financial growth explored above, I'd make the case that its current valuation is less rooted in speculation and finally experiencing a long-overdue correction. I see Nebius as a bargain right now compared to its peers and think the stock could carry significant upside, as the analysts on Wall Street suggest. To me, Nebius is a no-brainer opportunity and could swiftly emerge as a disruptive force across the cloud infrastructure and AI data center markets. Should you invest $1,000 in Nebius Group right now?
