Bezos, Musk, Altman — all racing for critical minerals
Dear Reader,
Some of the wealthiest and most influential people on the planet are redirecting their focus toward one urgent category:
Critical minerals.
Why?
Because without them, there is no AI revolution.
No EV revolution.
No clean-energy revolution.
No modern military.
And now that the U.S. government has officially accelerated deep-sea mining… the race to secure these minerals has begun.
Jeff Bezos…
Elon Musk…
Sam Altman…
Nvidia…
Intel…
They’re all quietly pivoting toward the next phase of resource control.
Matt McCall just released a video breaking down the entire story — including one tiny U.S. company that could dominate this new supply chain.

Verisk Is Extremely Oversold—2 Reasons Contrarians Are Circling
Written by Sam Quirke. First Published: 2/15/2026.
Key Points
- Verisk Analytics has fallen nearly 50% since the summer of 2025 and is back trading at 2023 levels.
- Its relative strength index (RSI) has collapsed to 20, one of the lowest readings in the stock’s history.
- However, a fresh bullish analyst call this in the second week of February implies roughly 35% upside, sharpening the contrarian risk/reward case.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
After a bruising start to the year that accelerated sharply into February, shares of Verisk Analytics, Inc (NASDAQ: VRSK) are trading around $170. That means they’re down roughly 25% since the end of January and have lost close to 50% from last summer’s highs. The decline has wiped out years of steady gains and returned the stock to price levels last seen in 2023.
For Verisk investors, it’s been a slow, steady, and painful descent driven by several factors. A disappointing earnings report last quarter intensified concerns about slowing growth, prompting doubts that the company’s valuation was justified. Investors also began to question whether expectations for AI-driven upside had gotten ahead of reality. What was once viewed as a steady performer suddenly looked exposed and vulnerable.

The result has been relentless selling. But with earnings due next week and technical indicators flashing extreme readings, contrarian investors are asking whether the market has overdone it. Here are two reasons they might be onto something.
Reason #1: Sentiment Is Completely Washed Out
The most obvious reason is technical. With this latest phase of selling, Verisk’s relative strength index (RSI) has sunk to about 20 — one of the lowest readings in the stock’s trading history. An RSI at that level signals extremely oversold conditions and often suggests the selling is nearing exhaustion.
Stocks rarely decline in a straight line forever. At some point, short sellers take profits and value-focused buyers step back in. Even if the company’s near- to mid-term prospects remain uncertain, sharp rebounds often follow this kind of one-way selling.
We may have seen early signs of that shift in the Feb. 11 session, when the stock bounced off the lows to record its first green day in more than two weeks. One positive session doesn’t confirm a bottom, but after a stretch of near-uninterrupted selling it can signal that downside momentum is starting to wane.
For contrarians, the logic is straightforward: when sentiment becomes this negative and technical indicators reach these rare extremes, it often feels like the market has priced in the worst-case scenario.
Reason #2: Analysts Are Beginning to Lean Back In
These extreme technical setups look more compelling when accompanied by fresh analyst support. On Feb. 11, Wells Fargo reiterated its Overweight rating on Verisk and published a new $237 price target. From current levels, that implies roughly 35% upside.
That update isn’t about blind optimism that the stock will immediately retest last summer’s highs. Rather, it reflects a view that the market may have been over-eager in its selling.
The fact that a major analyst is willing to reiterate a bullish stance while the RSI is near record lows suggests the fundamental story may not be as broken as the price action implies. That matters, especially with earnings due on Feb. 18. Expectations are now far lower than they were last quarter, and in situations like this that can create an attractive risk/reward profile.
The Line in the Sand Ahead of Earnings
Technically, the Feb. 11 low around the $165 level is the critical level to watch. A decisive break below that support would indicate sellers remain in control and would increase the likelihood of further short-term downside. That would likely invite fresh momentum selling and undermine the contrarian thesis before it has a chance to develop.
Conversely, if the stock holds this area and consolidates above $170 ahead of the company’s earnings report, the setup changes. Stabilising price action at these recent levels of extreme pessimism could set the stage for a sharp snapback rally if results are judged to be even merely acceptable. In situations like this, it doesn’t take much good news to trigger outsized upside moves.

ServiceNow is Extremely Oversold, Yet Analysts See 100%+ Upside
Authored by Sam Quirke. Date Posted: 2/26/2026.
After trading near $210 last summer, tech giant ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE: NOW) now sits just above $100. The multi-month decline has effectively cut the stock’s value in half, even though the company has consistently beaten expectations in its quarterly reports.
The disconnect has puzzled some investors and worried many more. Yes, the company posted record revenue in its most recent report in January, but the stock has been relentlessly sold. The culprit appears to be narrative-driven fear about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on traditional software businesses. In ServiceNow’s case, investors worry customers might use AI to automate parts of the company’s workflow management platform themselves, which could compress the long-term growth runway. Hence the sharp re-rating over the past nine months.
With the stock now oversold by historical measures while revenue sits at an all-time high, that fear may have gone too far. Here’s why the contrarian case is starting to gather some momentum.
AI As a Tailwind, Not a Threat

Key Points
- Shares of ServiceNow have fallen roughly 50% from last summer’s highs, despite continuing to beat earnings and revenue expectations.
- With the stock’s RSI plunging into extremely oversold territory, the price action is forming higher lows above $100.
- Analysts remain broadly bullish, with several firms reiterating Buy or equivalent ratings and pointing to substantial upside.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
In its late-January earnings report, ServiceNow went to some length to show that AI is not eroding demand — at least not to the degree the bears claim. Management highlighted continued strength in subscription revenue and provided solid forward guidance. Growth may not be accelerating dramatically, but it is not in structural decline.
More importantly, management is positioning AI as a tailwind rather than a threat. CEO Bill McDermott has argued that AI doesn’t replace enterprise orchestration; it depends on it. As enterprises adopt AI, they still need workflow coordination, automation layers, and system integration — precisely where ServiceNow fits. The market will need convincing, but there are signs the pendulum is beginning to swing.
Technicals Are Flashing Oversold
From a technical standpoint, the stock looks deeply oversold. ServiceNow’s relative strength index (RSI) recently fell to extreme levels following last month’s report, marking one of the most washed-out readings in years.
It’s rare to see a stock this oversold while revenue is at an all-time high. With shares already cut roughly 50%, the worst-case scenario may be largely priced in.
Encouragingly, price action is starting to reflect stabilization. Shares have not made a new low since early February, and the chart is showing higher lows forming around the $100 level. If that base holds and momentum continues to improve, the narrative could shift quickly from ServiceNow being a potential “AI victim” to a likely “AI beneficiary.”
Analysts Are Backing The Bull Case
While the chart may not look great, analyst sentiment remains largely bullish. The team at Citizens has reiterated its Market Outperform rating in recent weeks, similar to Wells Fargo’s Overweight and Bernstein’s Outperform. A fresh price target of $237 from Citigroup implies potential upside well beyond 100% from current levels.
Even if the most aggressive targets are taken with a pinch of salt, the broader message is clear: Wall Street isn’t signaling any serious structural damage to the underlying business. Analysts point to resilient guidance, traction in AI-enabled offerings, and strategic acquisitions as evidence that the company’s long-term positioning remains intact.
What Needs to Happen Next
For the recent price action to evolve into a sustained recovery, ServiceNow shares need to continue forming a base above $100 and extend the pattern of higher lows. That would indicate bears have exhausted themselves and lack the conviction to push the stock lower. Conversely, a decisive break below $100 would reopen downside risk and undermine the bull case.
If buyers keep stepping in and momentum indicators keep turning higher, a meaningful comeback rally is possible. Deeply oversold names with large upside targets can move quickly once selling pressure abates.
That said, the setup is not without risk. ServiceNow’s revenue growth has slowed to its lowest pace in years, and it remains to be seen how effectively management can make AI work for the company rather than against it. Still, when a company consistently beats expectations, posts record revenue, and retains broad analyst support — yet has lost roughly 50% of its market value — the risk/reward profile begins to look quite attractive.
