Dominion Energy Catches a Wind Gust… Straight to the Face

Dominion Energy Inc (NYSE: D) woke up thinking it was building the biggest offshore wind project in the country. Then Washington hit pause, and the stock face-planted. That’s the hard part about giant, multi-year projects: they move at the speed of paperwork, not ambition.

This isn’t a bad quarter story. It’s a policy roulette story. When the rules change mid-game, investors back away slowly like someone just found a raccoon in the kitchen. Expect more headline whiplash, because the whole offshore-wind space just got put under a giant spotlight.

The annoying irony is that Virginia’s power demand is still climbing, especially with data centers and AI sucking up electricity like it’s iced coffee in August. Dominion still sits in the right neighborhood for long-term demand.

The question is whether this specific wind bet gets delayed, redesigned, or dragged into court fights that last longer than your group chat arguments.

My Take For You: If you’re not in, wait for clarity. If you’re in, keep it small and don’t add until you see the pause actually unwind.

My Verdict: Hold/watch. Good utility backbone, messy headline overlay.

Technology

Alphabet Just Bought Itself More Breathing Room

Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL) made a very practical move: it’s buying a data center and energy infrastructure company so it can bring new capacity online faster. They want fewer bottlenecks, fewer delays, and fewer moments where AI demand shows up but the power and buildings aren’t ready.

This is the unsexy part of the AI race. Not chatbots, not demos, not flashy launches, just the grind of building enough real-world capacity to keep services humming. Alphabet is basically trying to control more of the timeline instead of waiting in line behind everyone else.

For the stock, this is more about staying ahead than swinging for the fences. The main risk is always the same as when spending balloons, timelines slip, and investors start side-eyeing the bill. The main upside is also simple with faster buildouts, steadier execution, and less vulnerability when the infrastructure scramble gets tight again.

My Take For You: Don’t chase a pop. If you want in, add on boring red days and keep it a core-sized position, not a lottery ticket.

My Verdict: Long-term friendly. Not fireworks, but it can keep the engine running.

Capital Flees Oil (Sponsored)

On September 22, a Big Oil firm invested $1 billion in a technology that could - according to Live Science - "make oil obsolete."

In fact, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Eni, and Shell are ALL locked in a race to harness a breakthrough that could spell the end for Oil & Gas.

Why are they taking on this apparent suicide mission?

First Solar Touches a Fresh High and Everyone Squints

First Solar Inc (NASDAQ: FSLR) just hit a new high, and the solar crowd is acting like the sun personally sent a group text. When a stock breaks out like this, it attracts momentum money fast, the same kind of money that disappears the second the chart stops being fun.

The good news is the story has real legs: more manufacturing capacity, steady demand for domestic supply, and a market that still wants clean power even when headlines get noisy. The bad news is that price matters.

When something rips, the easy money is often already made, and the next phase tends to be chop, pullbacks, and people learning patience the hard way.

So the play is not to turn excitement into a bad entry. Strong names can keep running, but they also like to breathe. If you buy right after a big move, you’re basically paying extra for the adrenaline. Let it cool, watch for a normal pullback, then decide if the trend still looks healthy.

My Take For You: If you own it, trim a little into strength and keep a runner. If you don’t, wait for a dip instead of buying peak sunshine.

My Verdict: Great story, stretched setup. Buyable, just not at the top tick.

Movers and Shakers

Huntington Ingalls Industries [HII]: Premarket Move: +4%

Defense money keeps flowing, and this shipbuilder just locked in another Navy win. Big contract, long runway, and institutions piling in like it’s last call at the buffet.

The catch? This stock has already had a monster year, so today’s pop feels more like dessert than the main course. Chasing here can work, of course, until it doesn’t.

My Take: Respect the trend, but don’t sprint after it. If you own it, let it ride and trim on strength. If you don’t, wait for a breather instead of buying the peak of the wave.

Lionsgate Studios [LION]: Premarket Move: +4%

Free streaming is having a moment, and Lionsgate just made it easier for advertisers to find its content. More eyeballs, more ads, more cash sounds nice, and traders are nodding along.

This isn’t a blockbuster opening weekend though. FAST is a slow-burn business, not a box-office smash. Expect fits, starts, and plenty of reruns.

My Take: Interesting pivot, not an instant win. Fine for a small nibble if you like the theme, but don’t expect fireworks overnight.

Rocket Lab [RKLB]: Premarket Move: −6%

After blasting higher on space hype and government deals, gravity finally checked in. Nothing broke; this just looks like profit-takers cashing tickets before year-end.

Space stocks love drama, and Rocket Lab is no stranger to wild swings after big runs. The long story is still intact, but the short-term chart needed a nap.

My Take: Totally normal cooldown. If you missed it, patience beats chasing. If you’re in, trimming some here isn’t a crime after a run like that.
