Oil

ExxonMobil Hits Another Early Startup in Guyana, Eyes 1.7M Barrels by 2030

ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) has begun production at Yellowtail, its fourth offshore oil development in Guyana’s Stabroek block, marking another step in its rapid expansion in the region.

The new ONE GUYANA floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel adds 250,000 barrels per day of capacity, lifting total installed production in Guyana above 900,000 barrels per day.

For investors, Yellowtail’s early start reinforces a trend that has defined ExxonMobil’s Guyana play, delivering complex deepwater projects under budget and ahead of schedule.

This operational consistency has turned Guyana into one of the company’s most lucrative growth engines, with production scaling faster than many in the industry anticipated.

Beyond near-term output gains, the project strengthens Exxon’s reserve base and creates more room for cash flow expansion in a favorable price environment.

ExxonMobil expects Guyana’s output to reach 1.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2030 across eight developments.

The Stabroek block’s prolific returns have positioned ExxonMobil as a cornerstone in Exxon’s long-term portfolio, balancing legacy assets with high-margin, low-cost barrels.

For potential investors, the Guyana program offers both production growth visibility and a track record of disciplined execution, making it a key differentiator in the global oil sector.

Supply Chain

Investors Eye Avnet’s Next Moves as Margin Pressure Threatens Recovery Timeline

Avnet (NASDAQ: AVT) has been downgraded to a Sell rating by Wells Fargo, with analysts citing ongoing margin erosion, inventory headwinds, and a profit profile that has struggled to regain momentum since 2021.

While sales have shown stability, and specific international markets, particularly in Asia, are signaling recovery, these gains have yet to translate into meaningful earnings improvements.

The downgrade is more than a short-term caution as it underscores the challenge large electronics distributors face when operational complexity outweighs revenue growth.

Avnet’s slower inventory turnover, unfavorable product mix, and geographic imbalances are limiting its ability to benefit from steady demand fully.

For investors, the concern is whether the company can pivot quickly enough to restore margins without sacrificing market share.

There is an opportunity for a turnaround if Avnet can align its supply chain more closely with high-margin segments, control costs with precision, and improve working capital efficiency.

The company’s performance over the next few quarters will be critical in shaping sentiment.

A successful execution could reframe the narrative from one of defensive restructuring to one of proactive growth. For prospective investors, Avnet now stands as a sector bellwether.

The outcome will not only influence its valuation but also signal how well the broader distribution industry can adapt to shifting demand cycles, pricing pressures, and the capital discipline investors are increasingly demanding.

Infrastructure

Two AI Infrastructure Stocks Worth a Closer Look Right Now

While AI headlines continue to focus on the same chip and software names, the heavy lifting is being done out of sight.

The companies supplying the raw computing power and infrastructure are often overlooked, yet they form the foundation that keeps the AI surge running.

Two standouts, CoreWeave and IREN Limited, are shaping this backbone in very different ways.

CoreWeave

CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) has positioned itself as a purpose-built GPU cloud for generative AI, securing multi-billion-dollar agreements with industry leaders.

Revenue growth of over 400% year-over-year reflects a surge in demand for its infrastructure.

While shares have been volatile since their IPO, the company's raised guidance and deep enterprise adoption indicate that the business is scaling faster than many expected.

For investors, the key is whether CoreWeave can turn its technical advantage into a durable market share before competitors catch up.

IREN Limited

IREN (NASDAQ: IREN) is combining AI-grade computing with clean energy, operating data centers that are powered entirely by renewables.

Its integration of infrastructure and power supply offers cost stability and reliability in a market facing looming energy constraints.

With shares already up sharply this year, momentum could continue as sustainability becomes a bigger priority in AI infrastructure builds.

These aren't the names that grab daily headlines, but they are the kind that tend to survive beyond hype cycles, delivering value long after the initial wave fades.
