DoorDash Director Andy Fang sold 15,000 shares worth $3.2 million on August 6, 2026, reducing his direct holdings by 25%. The sale was executed under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in March 2026, suggesting a non-discretionary transaction for personal reasons rather than a loss of confidence in the company. Fang retained 75% of his holdings, and analysts forecast 30% revenue growth for the year.

Axe note: Director Andy Fang’s recent sale of DoorDash shares looks procedural, not a red flag.

The author argues against investing in NuScale Power despite its promising small modular reactor technology, citing its speculative nature and lack of near-term revenue generation. Instead, he recommends Brookfield Renewable, which offers established operations, meaningful current profits, visible growth through 2031, and indirect nuclear exposure via its 51% stake in Westinghouse Electric.

Axe note: NuScale’s tech is promising but too speculative; Brookfield Renewable offers steady profits and nuclear exposure with less risk.

Axe note: Nebius’ move to partner on data centers while focusing on AI cloud tech could boost growth but demands flawless execution.
