Kenya's Nairobi Securities Exchange is creating East Africa's first AI stocks-focused exchange-traded fund, which it plans to offer to investors before year-end, its CEO said. The Nairobi market attracts a sizeable proportion of foreign equity investors given its profitable banking sector and telecoms operator Safaricom, but it does not currently offer exposure to AI stocks. "We want essentially to be able to bring a product to our market where the underlying basket is a reflection of companies that have a direct exposure to AI," Frank Mwiti told Reuters.

On the latest episode of the AI Investor Podcast, 24/7 Wall St. Analyst Austin Smith opens with a puzzle: two companies are being treated in opposite ways for the same underlying behavior. Microsoft is up roughly 16% after Azure growth accelerated from 38% to 43%, with guidance pointing to 45–46%, vindicating a capex program the market had criticized. Meta, meanwhile, is down about 10% at roughly 20x earnings despite 28% top-line growth — and is being punished for the same infrastructure spending, even after Zuckerberg argued that Meta rents out compute at a markup over its cost. Co-host Eric Bleeker's answer is that both moves are likely overreactions, and that the real variable is what each company said versus what Wall Street wanted to hear. Microsoft delivered on message: Azure at a $124 billion run rate, 90% of cloud demand coming from outside the frontier labs, and no capex increase. He frames Microsoft's position as a prisoner's dilemma, since compute routed to Azure is compute unavailable for its own AI products, and argues Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella relented under pressure from prior quarters. He compares the market's discomfort with capex growth to Apple's mid-decade smartphone choppiness versus Google's steadier trajectory. Meta hit every wrong note: an EPS miss on one-time costs, decelerating guidance, Zuckerberg walking back the cloud-capacity revenue opportunity, and incremental compute directed toward Meta Superintelligence rather than the core ad business. Eric estimates the justified moves were only a few percent in either direction, with the rest attributable to PR and positioning. He credits Microsoft's software exposure as valuable diversification, but concludes the share-price gap doesn't reflect any real difference in business trajectory.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday evening that SpaceX expects to generate $1 trillion in sales by 2030, up from prior projections of 2031. Second quarter sales were $7.8 billion. Currently, Wall Street projects $320 billion in revenue for 2030 for Elon Musk's rocket and AI company.
Southern Copper Corporation previously declared a US$1.10 per-share cash dividend for the second quarter of 2026, payable on August 27 to shareholders of record as of August 11, while also reporting year-on-year declines in mined volumes for copper, molybdenum, zinc and silver.
