Movchan's Group: U.S. Energy Sector Emerges as a Prime Investment Opportunity
Movchan's Group Identifies U.S. Energy Sector as a High-Potential Investment Avenue
A surge in electricity demand, mounting geopolitical risks, and the global shift toward green energy are fueling investor interest in the U.S. energy market. Movchan's Group explores key trends and emerging opportunities in this high-velocity sector.
The U.S. energy sector is witnessing a historic boom in investment activity. 2025 has already set records for electricity consumption, and investors are responding decisively. In recent months, 27 energy-related deals have closed, reflecting rising interest and momentum. Since the beginning of the year, over $30 million has flowed into the sector—marking the highest inflow in two decades. These figures underscore the sector's strategic importance and the urgent need for continued innovation.
Big Tech's Bet on Nuclear
U.S. tech giants are facing a critical challenge: skyrocketing energy demand driven by data centers, AI, and cloud infrastructure. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity consumption is expected to double by 2026—creating a sharp supply gap.
In response, leading players such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are aggressively investing in nuclear energy. Their rationale is twofold: nuclear offers an effectively unlimited and scalable power source, while also aligning with global decarbonization efforts. It's a reliable, low-emission solution for powering their expanding digital ecosystems.
The pivot to nuclear is not merely about energy security—it's also a reputational play. By championing cleaner energy, these companies aim to demonstrate environmental leadership. Their investments could accelerate sector-wide transformation and bring nuclear power back into the mainstream conversation.
Microsoft's founder echoed this sentiment in a recent statement:
'Nuclear is the only carbon-free energy source that can reliably deliver power day and night, in any season, almost anywhere on Earth—and that's been proven at scale.'
Renewables: Where Should Investors Look Next?
While Big Tech is backing nuclear, there's growing debate on where smaller players and retail investors should turn. Artem Karlov, partner at Movchan's Group and advisor to the ARQ fund, offers perspective:
'I believe it's time to take a closer look at renewable energy companies. Many are now trading significantly below their recent peaks, and while there are valid reasons for this, the growing demand for electricity—from both the AI and crypto sectors—could reignite interest in green energy firms and turn them into key beneficiaries of this shift.'
Movchan's Group notes that the transformation underway in the U.S. power grid is opening up a broad array of opportunities. Both traditional and alternative energy assets—including nuclear and renewables—can play a role in a well-balanced, forward-looking investment strategy.

Meta spending big on AI talent but will it pay off?
Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are spending billions of dollars for top talent to make up ground in the generative artificial intelligence race, sparking doubt about the wisdom of the spree. OpenAI boss Sam Altman recently lamented that Meta has offered $100 million bonuses to engineers who jump to Zuckerberg's ship, where hefty salaries await. A few OpenAI employees have reportedly taken Meta up on the offer, joining Scale AI founder and former chief executive Alexandr Wang at the Menlo Park-based tech titan. Meta paid more than $14 billion for a 49 percent stake in Scale AI in mid-June, bringing Wang on board as part of the deal. Scale AI labels data to better train AI models for businesses, governments and labs. 'Meta has finalized our strategic partnership and investment in Scale AI,' a Meta spokesperson told AFP. 'As part of this, we will deepen the work we do together producing data for AI models and Alexandr Wang will join Meta to work on our superintelligence efforts.' US media outlets have reported that Meta's recruitment effort has also targeted OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever; Google rival Perplexity AI, and hot AI video startup Runway. Meta chief Zuckerberg is reported to have sounded the charge himself due to worries Meta is lagging rivals in the generative AI race. The latest version of Meta AI model Llama finished behind its heavyweight rivals in code writing rankings at an LM Arena platform that lets users evaluate the technology. Meta is integrating recruits into a new team dedicated to developing 'superintelligence,' or AI that outperforms people when it comes to thinking and understanding. 'Mercenary' Tech blogger Zvi Moshowitz felt Zuckerberg had to do something about the situation, expecting Meta to succeed in attracting hot talent but questioning how well it will pay off. 'There are some extreme downsides to going pure mercenary... and being a company with products no one wants to work on,' Moshowitz told AFP. 'I don't expect it to work, but I suppose Llama will suck less.' While Meta's share price is nearing a new high with the overall value of the company approaching $2 trillion, some investors have started to worry. Institutional investors are concerned about how well Meta is managing its cash flow and reserves, according to Baird strategist Ted Mortonson. 'Right now, there are no checks and balances' with Zuckerberg free to do as he wishes running Meta, Mortonson noted. The potential for Meta to cash in by using AI to rev its lucrative online advertising machine has strong appeal but 'people have a real big concern about spending,' said Mortonson. Meta executives have laid out a vision of using AI to streamline the ad process from easy creation to smarter targeting, bypassing creative agencies and providing a turnkey solution to brands. AI talent hires are a long-term investment unlikely to impact Meta's profitability in the immediate future, according to CFRA analyst Angelo Zino. 'But still, you need those people on board now and to invest aggressively to be ready for that phase' of generative AI, Zino said. According to The New York Times, Zuckerberg is considering shifting away from Meta's Llama, perhaps even using competing AI models instead. Penn State University professor Mehmet Canayaz sees potential for Meta to succeed with AI agents tailored to specific tasks at its platform, not requiring the best large language model. 'Even firms without the most advanced LLMs, like Meta, can succeed as long as their models perform well within their specific market segment,' Canayaz said.

Debate is underway in U.S. Senate on Trump's big bill. It may go all night
WASHINGTON —Debate is underway in the Senate for an all-night session Sunday, with Republicans wrestling President Donald Trump's big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts over mounting Democratic opposition -- and even some brake-pumping over the budget slashing by the president himself. The outcome from the weekend of work in the Senate remains uncertain and highly volatile. GOP leaders are rushing to meet Trump's Fourth of July deadline to pass the package, but they barely secured enough support to muscle it past a procedural hurdle in a tense scene the day before. A handful of Republican holdouts revolted, and it took phone calls from Trump and a visit from Vice President JD Vance to keep it on track. GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced Sunday he would not seek reelection after Trump badgered him for saying he could not vote for the bill with its steep Medicaid cuts. A new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that 11.8 million more Americans would become uninsured by 2034 if the bill became law. It also said the package would increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion over the decade. But other Senate Republicans, along with conservatives in the House, are pushing for steeper cuts, particularly to health care, drawing their own unexpected warning from Trump. 'Don't go too crazy!' the president posted on social media. 'REMEMBER, you still have to get reelected.' All told, the Senate bill includes some $4 trillion in tax cuts, making permanent Trump's 2017 rates, which would expire at the end of the year if Congress fails to act, while adding the new ones he campaigned on, including no taxes on tips. The Senate package would roll back billions in green energy tax credits that Democrats warn will wipe out wind and solar investments nationwide, and impose $1.2 trillion in cuts, largely to Medicaid and food stamps, by imposing work requirements and making sign-up eligibility more stringent. Additionally, the bill would provide a $350 billion infusion for border and national security, including for deportations, some of it paid for with new fees charged to immigrants. If the Senate can push through overnight voting and pass the bill, it would need to return to the House. Speaker Mike Johnson has told lawmakers to be on call for a return to Washington this coming week. Democrats ready to fight all night Unable to stop the march toward passage of the 940-page bill, the Democrats as the minority party in Congress is using the tools at its disposal to delay and drag out the process. Democrats forced a full reading of the text, which took some 16 hours, ending Sunday afternoon. Then senators took over the debate, filling the chamber with speeches, while Republicans largely stood aside. 'Reckless and irresponsible,' said Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan. 'A gift to the billionaire class,' said Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sen. Patty Murray, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, raised particular concern about the accounting method being used by the Republicans, which says the tax breaks from Trump's first term, in 2017, are now 'current policy' and the cost of extending them should not be counted toward deficits. 'In my 33 years here in the United States Senate, things have never -- never -- worked this way,' said Murray, the longest-serving Democrat on the Budget Committee. She said that kind of 'magic math' won't fly with Americans trying to balance their own household books. 'Go back home and try that game with your constituents,' she said. 'We still need to kick people off their health care -- that's too expensive. We still need to close those hospitals -- we have to cut costs. And we still have to kick people off SNAP -- because the debt is out of control.' Sanders said Tillis' decision not to seek reelection shows the hold that Trump's cult of personality has over the GOP. 'We are literally taking food out of the mouths of hungry kids,' Sanders said, while giving tax breaks to Jeff Bezos and other wealthy billionaires. GOP leaders unphased Republicans are using their majorities to push aside Democratic opposition, and appeared undeterred, even as they have run into a series of political and policy setbacks. 'We're going to pass the 'Big, beautiful bill,' said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the Budget Committee chairman. 'And President Trump is going to sign it.' The holdout Republicans remain reluctant to give their votes, and their leaders have almost no room to spare, given their narrow majorities. Essentially, they can afford three dissenters in the Senate, with its 53-47 GOP edge, and about as many in the House, if all members are present and voting. Trump, who has at times allowed wiggle room on his deadline, kept the pressure on lawmakers to finish. He threatened to campaign against Tillis, who was worried that Medicaid cuts would leave many without health care in his state. Trump badgered Tillis again on Sunday morning, saying the senator 'has hurt the great people of North Carolina.' Later Sunday, Tillis issued a lengthy statement announcing he would not seek reelection in 2026. Democrats can't filibuster, but can stall Using a congressional process called budget reconciliation, the Republicans can muscle the bill through on a simple majority vote in the Senate, rather than the typical 60-vote threshold needed to overcome objections. Without the filibuster, Democrats have latched on to other tools to mount their objections. One is the full reading of the bill text, which has been done in past situations. Democrats also intend to use their full 10 hours of available debate time, now underway. And then Democrats are prepared to propose dozens of amendments to the package that would be considered in an all-night voting session -- or all-day, depending on the hour. GOP senators to watch As Saturday's vote tally teetered, attention turned to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who was surrounded by GOP leaders in intense conversation. She voted 'yes.' Several provisions in the package are designed for her state in Alaska. A short time later, Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., drew holdouts Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming to his office. Vance joined in. The talks dragged on. Then Vance led them all back in to vote. Later, Scott said he had met with the president, adding, 'We all want to get to yes.' Lee said the group 'had an internal discussion about the strategy to achieve more savings and more deficit reduction, and I feel good about the direction where this is going, and more to come.'
