AirAsia's $12.3B Power Move Could Reshape Global Budget Travel

AirAsia parent Capital A has just inked a potential $12.3 billion memorandum of understanding with Airbus (EADSY) for 50 A321XLR jetswith options for 20 more. The deal, unveiled as Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim wrapped up his diplomatic tour of France and Italy, is more than just a fleet refresh. It's a long-range play on global low-cost dominance. These jets, which could begin arriving by 2028, are designed to fly farther than any narrowbody aircraft, making once-uneconomical routes across Asia and beyond suddenly viable. This order allows us to have a narrowbody fleet that can cover the world, said CEO Tony Fernandes. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with EADSY. Fernandes hinted that the A321XLR's economics could unlock expansion into India, China, and other parts of Asia-Pacificmarkets where widebodies are often too costly. But the ambitions don't stop there. AirAsia plans to launch a Gulf hub this year and is setting its sights on select European routes. The airline is also in discussions with Airbus to potentially exit its earlier A330 widebody order, signaling a full pivot toward a more nimble, fuel-efficient fleet. At the same time, Capital A is evaluating a secondary listing in Hong Kong as part of its broader strategic roadmap. Anwar's Europe visit wasn't just ceremonialit was deal-making diplomacy in motion. Alongside the commercial jet talks, Malaysia announced defense equipment purchases from Italy and France, reinforcing its security posture while boosting trade ties. In 2024, MalaysiaFrance trade hit $3.63 billion, with momentum continuing into 2025. For investors, this Airbus agreement could mark the start of a new chapter for Capital A's regional dominanceand possibly its global ambitions. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Hércules scores winner in 70th minute, Fluminense beats Al Hilal 2-1 to reach Club World Cup semis

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Hércules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in a Club World Cup quarterfinal match on Friday. Physical play resulted in a pair of yellow cards against both sides as they vied for scoring chances in the first half in front of a crowd of 43,091 at Camping World Stadium. Fluminense struck first after a poor clearance from Al Hilal allowed Brazillian midfielder Martinelli to find the back of the net. The second half opened with an emphatic response from Al Hilal, which had not lost a match in the tournament. Marcos Leonardo, who scored the winner in a 4-3 surprise victory over Manchester City, scored in the 51st minute to tie the game at 1. Hércules, a halftime substitution, scored the tiebreaker and secured a semifinal round berth for Fluminense. Al Hilal was awarded a penalty kick in the first half, but referee Danny Makkelie overturned the decision after consulting VAR. Fluminense moves on to the semifinal against the winner of the Chelsea-Palmerias match later Friday at Philadelphia. The semifinal match will be held Tuesday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. 'Once again, we had another great match. It's not for any team to overcome Manchester City, so we knew the challenge. For the better part of the match we were in control. Playing against such a strong opponent you will suffer, and you must learn to do that.' — Fluminense coach Renato Gaúcho. '(The players) put their heart on the pitch. We played five games in 16 days. They gave it their all. We went beyond the best expectations and we did it with our own.' — Al Hilal coach Simone Inzaghi.

Nvidia (NVDA) Nears $4 Trillion as Huang Looks Beyond Chips -- Toward Robots

Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) isn't just the chip king anymore; it's turning its gaze toward something even bigger humanoid robots. As the company brushed up against a $3.89 trillion market cap this week, CEO Jensen Huang took the stage in Paris and said it plainly; robotics, he believes, could become the largest industry in the world. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. That might sound ambitious; then again, so did AI a few years ago and Nvidia now dominates that space too. At the VivaTech conference, Huang introduced AEON: a full-stack humanoid robot developed with Sweden's Hexagon (HXGBY, Financials). It's not a mock-up or sci-fi concept; it's built, operational, and aiming straight for real-world deployment. Forecasts are starting to catch up. Nvidia's robotics and automotive division brought in $1.7 billion in fiscal 2024; analysts now expect that number to hit $7.55 billion by the early 2030s. If AEON gains commercial ground and it might those projections could prove too modest. Earlier this year, things looked shakier. U.S. chip export curbs to China sparked some turbulence; Nvidia stock dipped, and traders got nervous. But the pause didn't last; the stock is now up 19% for the year and once again holds the crown as the world's most valuable public company. The bigger story? That crown might soon be gilded in robotics, not just silicon. There's also seasonality working in Nvidia's favor. Historically, Q3 tends to be quiet a 4% average gain. But Q4 is where things pop; Nvidia has averaged a 23% rally in the final quarter, according to Dow Jones data. That pattern, paired with the robotics momentum, could set the stage for a breakout into even higher valuation territory. Nvidia is already in a class of its own a company that not only scaled the AI summit, but may now have the tools to build entirely new mountains. Other tech giants are maturing; Nvidia still has untouched runways. Robotics may be the next trillion-dollar catalyst and Huang knows it. As of this week, Nvidia is just $50 billion shy of Microsoft's (MSFT, Financials) all-time market cap peak. That number could fall by next week; or even tomorrow.
