Nvidia (NVDA 2.94%) has been the most successful tech stock, with its artificial intelligence (AI) chips helping it become the world's most valuable publicly traded company. The chipmaker's market cap is above $4 trillion, and an excellent fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 (that ended Jan. 25, 2026) performance shows the growth narrative is still intact and strengthening. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that AI demand is "growing exponentially." Guidance was also quite substantial, with the company projecting $78 billion in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared to $68.1 billion in the previous quarter. While Nvidia's earnings show AI demand is still heating up, its $4 trillion market cap means the stock needs far more capital to generate any meaningful movement. Meanwhile, Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO 4.20%) has a much smaller market cap and is well-positioned to ride the AI wave. Silicon Motion Technology offers memory storage solutions for AI chips Silicon Motion Technology's SSD controllers are memory storage solutions for AI chips. Per the company's recent financial results and guidance, demand for these SSD controllers is heating up. Q4 2025 revenue increased 46% year over year, with SSD controllers contributing significantly to the company's growth. Silicon Motion Technology also forecast a "stronger-than-seasonal start, with sustained and steady growth throughout the year."

Chili's is the main brand inside Brinker International (EAT 3.99%), and management has turned it into one of casual dining's strongest operators. More than 90% of Chili's restaurants in the U.S. are company-owned, which means management controls everything from menu changes to kitchen upgrades. Before the turnaround, the average Chili's generated around $370,000 in restaurant-level profit. At the end of fiscal 2025, that figure stood at $790,000. Despite the underlying progress, the stock still trades at a below-market multiple. 3 For Me Chili's was repositioned at exactly the right time. In recent years, quick-service and fast-casual chains pushed prices so high that consumers started looking elsewhere for value. Chili's already had its 3 For Me menu in place, starting at $10.99 for a full-service meal at a discount to most fast-food joints. The result was traffic-led growth, with same-store visits (comps) up 16.3% in 2025. That strength carried into the new fiscal year. Brinker reported second-quarter 2026 results on Jan. 28, with comps growing 8.6% and traffic up 2.7%. That's on top of 31% comps growth in the year-ago quarter. When a sit-down meal at Chili's costs about the same as a Chipotle bowl, consumers are choosing table service. That's how Brinker fills the seats. The pricing strategy is disciplined, too. The $10.99 promotion accounts for under 8% of total sales. Twice the profit, same discount The risk is straightforward. Chili's is now lapping comps growth of 31.6% from the year-ago quarter. The rate of increase is moderating, and that's what investors are worried about in the near term. Management guided for comps growth in each quarter of fiscal 2026 and has delivered through the second, but this quarter is the toughest comparison yet.

When investors look at Alphabet (GOOG 0.87%)(GOOGL 0.75%), they see a dominant brand with strong top-line momentum. The search giant's business is growing fast, with total company revenue rising 18% year over year to $113.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. But underneath the surface, the company is undergoing a capital-intensive transition to support artificial intelligence (AI). With Alphabet's revenue rising rapidly while it spends aggressively, where could the stock be five years from now? The answer might surprise you. Despite Alphabet's already massive size (the company has a market capitalization of more than $3.6 trillion as of this writing), I think its stock price is likely to trade at a far higher level in five years. A soaring cloud computing business A key driver of Alphabet's recent success is its increasingly diversified business. Specifically, the company's Google Cloud segment (cloud computing) saw revenue jump 48% year over year to $17.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. And this isn't just top-line growth. It is highly profitable. Impressively, the segment's operating income soared from roughly $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $5.3 billion in the most recent quarter. But Alphabet's core business is also still firing on all cylinders. The company's "Google Search & other" segment saw revenue increase 17% year over year to $63.1 billion in the fourth quarter. In addition, YouTube ads revenue rose 9% year over year. This broad-based growth translated into significant profitability. Alphabet's fourth-quarter net income increased 30% year over year to $34.5 billion. The capital expenditure trade-off Profitability is key for Alphabet right now, as it will need a lot of cash. As the company continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, its highly profitable, rapidly expanding cloud division and cash-rich search business help fund its extreme appetite for more computing. Alphabet management said its 2026 capital expenditures are...

Key Points PayPal’s growth has stalled out over the past few years. American Express will continue to lock more customers into its “closed-loop” system. 10 stocks we like better than PayPal › PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), one of the world's largest digital payment companies, was once a promising growth stock. Yet over the past five years, its stock has declined nearly 80% as intense competition, the loss of eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) as a top customer, and a challenging macro environment throttled its growth in active accounts and revenues. From 2021 to 2025, PayPal's year-end active accounts only grew from 426 million to 439 million. That was well below its original goal (which it later abandoned) of hitting 750 million active accounts by 2025. As its account growth stalls out, it's trying to drive more transactions through its branded checkout platform, Venmo peer-to-peer payments app, debit cards, and buy now, pay later (BNPL) services to offset that pressure. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » At the same time, it's downsizing its higher-volume, lower-value platforms (including its backend platform Braintree) to stabilize its margins and transaction take rates. It's also cutting costs and aggressively repurchasing its shares to boost its EPS as its top-line growth cools. But for 2026, it still expects EPS to decline by mid-single digits as its branded checkout platform struggles to stand out in a sea of similar services. So while PayPal's stock might seem cheap at nine times this year's earnings, it might deserve that discount valuation. Therefore, it might be smarter to invest in another financial giant with a wider moat: American Express (NYSE: AXP). Why is American Express a better buy? American Express is often compared to Visa (NYSE: V) and Mastercard (NYSE: MA), but it operates a differen...

These are "businesses we understand well, have a high regard for their leaders, and expect will compound over decades."
