Explosive Trump Initiatives Makes this Sector ETF a Red-Hot Energy Play

Explosive Trump Initiative Makes this Sector ETF a Red-Hot Energy Play

Remember that markets are closed for Memorial Day tomorrow, Monday, May 26th. Enjoy the holiday and stay safe! 

During the short trading week, America’s top AI stock reports earnings, bullish energy sector news could spark further growth, and a small-cap semiconductor stock’s bankruptcy declaration may be an opportunity to ride a rebound (however brief that may be).

Here’s what we’re watching this week.

Nvidia

Ticker: NVDA | Market Cap: $3.2T | Catalyst: Earnings on Wednesday

Nvidia’s earnings will likely be this week’s big story, one way or another - but not for what happened over the preceding quarter, but for how CEO Jensen Huang and his team see the rest of 2025 (and beyond) shaping up.

Nvidia may as well be the S&P 500 by this point; not only is the company the second-largest by market cap, it’s also fueling the meteoric rise of its Mag 7 peers, exemplified by the top SPX company - Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) - spending nearly half its current capex on Nvidia products. 

Ultimately, Nvidia’s outlook encompassing China trade controls, tariffs, Middle Eastern AI deals, Project Stargate, and more, will serve as a microcosmic barometer of the wider macro environment. Good or bad, expect major market moves to follow on Thursday.

VanEck Uranium and Nuclear Energy ETF

Ticker: NLR | Total Assets: $1.2B | Catalyst: Bullish News

In this case, NLR acts as a watchlist proxy for the overall nuclear industry. With a well-managed portfolio of stable nuclear giants like PG&E (NYSE: PCG), augmented by high-growth startups like Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), NLR is probably the best ETF to capture ongoing bullish nuclear sentiment.

President Trump ended the week with an executive order authorizing sped-up reactor permitting and plans to grow domestic uranium production. According to officials, the order will ramp up reactor construction, slash lead times, and even explore small reactor deployment to support military sites and Project Stargate-funded AI data centers. 

NLR climbed nearly 10% in a single trading session on the news, but the momentum isn’t over, and Trump’s executive demands may be the beginning of an American nuclear renaissance.

Wolfspeed

Ticker: WOLF | Market Cap: $225.66M | Catalyst: Heavily Shorted; High-Risk Rebound Play

WOLF shares plummeted last week after the semiconductor stock announced bankruptcy plans, but it wasn’t shareholders’ first rodeo - Wolfspeed is historically hugely volatile and has been since inception, marking major highs (and subsequent lows) since 2000. It's 1.62 beta tells part of the story, but check out its all-time chart when you get a chance to put WOLF’s sheer peaks and valleys into perspective.

Anyway, WOLF had multiple opportunities from its creditors to restructure debt to avoid precisely the current situation, so the company may have some unseen card up its sleeve. Likewise, if management reconsiders the debt realignment offer, shares could rapidly rebound from their current all-time low. 

The company appointed a new CEO on May 1st, so declaring a planned bankruptcy may be a gambit worth gambling on if you have the risk appetite.

Fair Isaac
Ticker: FICO | Market Cap: $41.24B | Catalyst: Oversold Indicators

On the opposite end of “the Trump effect,” FICO shares cratered after the President’s Federal Housing Finance Agency director, Bill Pulte, said he was disappointed with management’s decision to increase fees. 

In a nutshell, FICO hiking costs for mortgage companies to run credit checks has downstream effects on potential homebuyers - lenders certainly won’t eat the fees - but a 25% drop in just a few days is a pretty extreme downward move for what’s been a historically strong stock with plenty of growth potential. 

The sudden dip makes a great secular buying opportunity for value-minded growth investors. FICO is trading at its lowest level since Summer 2024 (an April drop alongside the whole market notwithstanding), and a 29.68 RSI underscores its oversold status.

Vantage Corp

Ticker: VNTG | Catalyst: IPO on Thursday

This unique IPO services Vantage Corp, a marine shipping stock focused on shipbroking services. Global shipping is particularly volatile now, as back-and-forth tariff agreements, pauses, and reciprocal action (not to mention oil and gas market movements) create whipsaw demand signals.

While it may not be the best time for a marine shipping IPO, Vantage’s diversified services help shield it from sector-specific volatility and help it capture wider international logistics momentum (one way or another). The IPO is expected to price between $4 and $5. 

From credit score stocks suffering from the Trump effect to a small-cap’s high short interest, oversold indicators, nuclear momentum, and a marine shipping stock’s IPO debut, this week’s catalysts could spark significant market swings. 

Gear up for action and position wisely to capitalize on the volatility ahead.
