These nontech stocks can ride the AI build-out for years
THE SO WHAT
The AI build-out is turning into a multi-year tailwind for “HALO” names — hard assets, low obsolescence — from power and real estate to industrials.

Deep & Emerging TechFord on track to complete $2B factory overhaul for Fathom EV truck
A $2B factory overhaul with prototypes not expected until Q1 2027 shows how long and capital-intensive EV platform shifts remain, even for incumbents. If you’re in the supply chain, align your own automation and capacity bets to these multi-year ramps—not quarterly headlines.
Deep & Emerging TechMicrosoft's nemesis returns: Nightmare Eclipse is back with a new zero day which could be bad news for Windows users
A tenth Windows zero day from the same researcher, dropped right after Patch Tuesday, underlines how brittle endpoint security is against motivated actors. If you run large Windows fleets, assume a rolling zero-day environment and tighten your patch SLAs, isolation, and least-privilege policies accordingly.
Deep & Emerging TechBloom Security’s Extension Resurrection research exposes a blind spot in developer security
Bloom Security’s work on resurrected VS Code extensions highlights a neglected attack surface: the IDE itself as a supply-chain vector. If your developers rely on rich extension ecosystems, treat extension policies and provenance checks as part of your core AppSec program, not a nice-to-have.
Deep & Emerging TechScientists are developing a ‘magnetoelastic’ tent that makes its own electricity like a wind turbine — but don’t expect to be able to take one to Glastonbury next year
Self-powering, magnetoelastic tents are another pointer toward distributed microgeneration baked into everyday objects. For outdoor, defense, and remote-ops players, assume your gear roadmap will increasingly include embedded generation and storage rather than relying solely on external batteries and generators.
