NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) isn’t your typical energy company. It’s a trailblazing player in nuclear innovation, aiming to rewrite how the world generates clean, consistent power. Rather than betting on sprawling, billion-dollar nuclear facilities, NuScale is going small, really small, with its modular reactors, designed to be trucked in and switched on as needed.

It sounds futuristic.

Howard Marks has built his 50‑year reputation on buying what everyone else is overlooking and waiting patiently for the narrative to swing his way. So when Oaktree Capital’s first‑quarter 2025 filing revealed a brand‑new 18.8 million‑share position in Nokia (2 % of the equity book, at roughly $5 a share) many investors did a double‑take ,telecom hardware is hardly Oaktree’s home turf.

G O’Fiachra The Burst

Unlike upstream drillers who live by the barrel, Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan quietly rake in stable cash flows by simply moving, storing, and processing hydrocarbons.

G O’Fiachra The Spotlight

Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) probably isn’t the first ticker that comes to mind when investors think “income stock.” But maybe it should be. The global auto giant, which straddles Italy, France, and the U.S. is delivering one of the highest dividend yields on the market today. It’s not just about the headline number, though. There’s a lot going on beneath the surface that most investors overlook—and some of it’s surprising.
