China and the US begin implementing the Kuala Lumpur economic and trade consultation consensus.
Since taking office, every word and action of Donald Trump has significantly impacted the U.S. stock market.
Especially his four major deals this year, which have directly caused upheaval in the U.S. stock market:
First, a $400 million investment into rare earth miner $MP Materials (MP.US)$ , followed by a $10 billion capital injection into the struggling semiconductor giant $Intel (INTC.US)$ . Then, an equity stake in American lithium company $Lithium Americas (LAC.US)$ . Most recently, the White House confirmed plans to acquire $Trilogy Metals (TMQ.US)$ A plan involving 10% of the company's shares.
Previously, Trump had indicated that he would continue to promote and expand direct investment in private enterprises.For investors, understanding and following the logic behind government investment decisions is not only a way to seize opportunities but also a necessary strategy for risk mitigation.
Market consensus generally holds that the following four sectors—resources, power and energy, space exploration, and semiconductors—are expected to benefit from the Trump 2.0 era.
In fact, recent TACO transactions indicate that most of these companies have not declined; instead, they have shown strong upward momentum, such as rare earths, $MP Materials (MP.US)$ which has surged over 36% since October 10th, $Bloom Energy (BE.US)$ with an increase of over 30%. $Oklo Inc (OKLO.US)$ Having risen cumulatively by over 26%, $AST SpaceMobile (ASTS.US)$ and nearly a 9% increase. Fellow investors have also compiled a list of related concept stocks for reference by investors.

By this point, many investors may already be curious: Why are these four industries poised to become focal points? And which specific companies within them are worth paying attention to? Don’t worry—fellow investors will now provide an in-depth analysis packed with valuable insights!

Energy Cornerstone: Nuclear Power, Batteries, Grids, and Energy Storage
In mid-September,The U.S. Department of Energy announced the launch of the 'Speed to Power' initiative,aiming to mobilize its technical expertise and billions of dollars in funding support to address this significant rise in energy demand, the first in two decades.
The core of the 'Power Acceleration' plan lies in information gathering and resource mobilization. The Trump administration aims to leverage various tools at its disposal to address the growing electricity demand driven by AI, data centers, and electric vehicles.
Even more importantly,The latest development from the U.S. militaryis the announcement of a plan to deploy small modular reactors at Army bases across the United States where power supply is under strain and struggling to meet rising energy demands.deploy small modular reactors,,marking one of its most significant advancements in modern nuclear energy to date.
Goldman Sachs has also previously warned that aging power grids have become a "vulnerable link" in the energy security of Western countries, as demand for AI surges and geopolitical tensions intensify. The bank further believes thatthe power grid has become a "critical link" for both AI and national defense, with the three being interdependent. Investing in this weak link of the energy supply chain has become increasingly urgent.
Previously,The Second Half of the AI Race — Electricity! Four Key Investment Themes in U.S. Stocks You Must KnowIt has repeatedly been pointed out that the second half of the AI race will be a competition for electricity, and attention should be paid to companies related to nuclear power, batteries, power grids, and energy storage.
Firstly, First, looking at the nuclear power industry,at the beginning of this year"Tech Giants Compete for Deployment! Nuclear Power Stocks Expected to Break Through by 2025, Potentially Becoming the Next Battlefield for AI?"曾提示過,AI data centers are set to become the next generation 'electric tigers,' with the proportion of power consumption by data centers expected to further increase, positioning nuclear power as the next battlefield for AI.

According to a research report by Guosheng Securities, the SMR nuclear power industry chain encompasses all stages from upstream uranium mining, midstream research and construction, to downstream operation and waste management.
The upstream supply chain primarily involves the essential raw materials, key equipment, and nuclear fuel required for nuclear energy development, which mainly includes uranium mining and uranium enrichment.Specifically, uranium mining includes $Cameco (CCJ.US)$ 、 $Uranium Energy (UEC.US)$ 、 $Energy Fuels (UUUU.US)$ 、 $Denison Mines (DNN.US)$ 、 $NexGen Energy (NXE.US)$ ; nuclear fuel processing $Centrus Energy (LEU.US)$ 。
The midstream sector includes design, research and development, and construction.Among them,$NuScale Power (SMR.US)$ is the first publicly listed SMR nuclear power company, with its core product being the SMR power module.
