10 Stocks Lead Friday’s Charge

1. New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NFE)

New Fortress extended its winning streak for a third day on Friday, adding 7.92 percent to finish at $11.17 each, in line with the broader market and news that it was planning to develop a 1,000-acre data center in Ireland.

The new data center was on top of the planned 630-acre power plant and a 120-megawatt battery energy storage system as part of the Shannon Technology and Energy Park project.

Apart from Ireland, NFE was also looking to kick off the construction of a $1.1-billion liquefied natural gas plant at the Mexican port of Altamira in the middle of the year. The project was in partnership with state utility CFE.

So far, NFE said it had spent $625 million on the project, mainly on the procurement of the liquefaction modules. Construction of the modules is now more than 50 percent complete.

NFE said Texas-based contractor Kiewit is building the modules and will ship them to Altamira next year.

While we acknowledge the potential of NFE as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
