Crypto, AI dreams, and memes: The best stock trades of 2025

Being long crypto-sensitive companies and the nuke-powered AI and data-center trade has worked well.

Goldman Sachs’ curated baskets of thematically aligned stocks offer an interesting way of keeping tabs on the market. So far this year, they’re giving a pretty clear reading on parts of the market that are truly romping: stocks adjacent to crypto, data centers, and the power needed to run them.

As far as individual companies included in these baskets, MicroStrategy — the all-in bet on bitcoin that’s up more than 30% this year — is the most heavily weighted stock in the Bitcoin Sensitive equities basket.

Canadian uranium miner Cameco and modular nuclear-power company Nuscale are some of the bigger names in the Uranium basket. Utility Vistra is the top weighting in Power Up America basket. And the AI Data Center theme is one of biggest gainers on Wednesday following the announcement of a joint venture between Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank to invest some $500 billion in AI-related infrastructure.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
