AI infrastructure stocks split sharply: data centers (EQIX, DLR) and electrical contractors (PWR, FIX, EME) holding up in strong-up trend while nuclear power names (CEG, VST, TLN, OKLO, SMR) are in freefall with death crosses, and copper/materials (SCCO, FCX, COPX) capitulating on global demand fears. LITE surging +23.6% 7D is the standout. ECL RSI 18.1 — extreme capitulation.
Quick Snapshot

Reading
Overall
🟡 MIXED — Data centers holding, power infrastructure selling off hard. EQIX/DLR/VRT/PWR in strong-up trend while nuclear names (CEG/VST/TLN/OKLO/SMR) all hit with death crosses and -13% to -19% 30D losses. Copper names in freefall.
Leaders
LITE (+23.6% 7D, +4.1% 30D), VRT (+6.1% 30D), EQIX (+5.1% 30D), PWR (+0.5% 30D), FIX (-7.2% 30D but bouncing)
Connectivity components -17% to -18% 30D, death crosses
❌ DON'T BUY
SCCO, FCX
Copper demand signal worsening, -19% to -24% 30D
❌ DON'T BUY
OKLO, SMR
Small nuclear pre-revenue names with death crosses — no floor visible

Construction aggregates capitulating RSI 24–28; reassess infrastructure thesis
What Changed (vs 2026-03-13)
LITE emerged as standout — +23.6% 7D. Optical networking benefiting from data center interconnect demand surge. Not in prior scan analysis.
Nuclear names all crossed death — CEG, VST, TLN, OKLO, SMR all now on death cross with -13% to -19% 30D losses. AI power thesis hit a wall.
VRT held strong — Unlike nuclear/power names, Vertiv data center cooling is at SMA20 with RSI 56. Market differentiating between data center infrastructure vs power generation.
EQIX strong despite rate pressure — RSI 62.2 with +5.1% 30D while bonds selling off. Data center demand overriding rate concerns.
Copper supply chain collapse — SCCO -24.4% 30D, FCX -19.4% 30D. If this is a demand signal, AI infrastructure buildout may be slowing.
ECL new capitulation — RSI 18.1, extreme oversold. Industrial/water services not normally in AI infra scan but showing systemic industrial demand weakness.
PWR/FIX resilience — Electrical contractors holding up better than peers. Grid modernization + data center electrical work keeping order books full.

Open Questions
Is copper's -24% 30D a genuine AI capex slowdown signal or just tariff/trade uncertainty?
Will nuclear power names (CEG/VST/TLN) recover when AI hyperscaler capex guidance is reaffirmed?
Is LITE's +23.6% 7D move sustainable or a squeeze in a thin-volume name?
