Alphabet has room to run due to Google being well positioned to emerge as a frontrunner in the artificial intelligence race, according to Wells Fargo. The bank raised its price target on Alphabet to $397 from $387, implying 41% upside from Thursday's close. It maintained an overweight rating on the tech giant. "GOOGL has all the pieces necessary to be an AI winner, with an industry-leading capacity position to support internal efforts (Search, Gemini) and monetize externally through GCP, broad distribution network, and vast consumer data," analyst Ken Gawrelski said Thursday in a note to clients. "We're more comfortable with Google's competitive position in search, given progress with AI mode and Gemini adoption, and overall see AI as TAM expanding." GOOGL YTD mountain GOOGL year to date Google has made several moves to become a bigger player in the AI industry, competing with other Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Meta and Amazon.com . Last fall, Google struck a deal with Anthropic to grant the AI company access to up to one million of its custom-designed Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs. The agreement is expected to bring more than a gigawatt of AI compute capacity online this year. The company also completed earlier this month its $32 billion acquisition of cloud security firm Wiz. The deal aims to bolster the security of Google Cloud Platform, including its multicloud and AI features. "Google [is] leveraging its compute capacity advantage to develop new profit pools," Gawrelski wrote, adding that he expects GCP and operational intelligence revenue to increase 4% and 6%, respectively, in 2026. Wells Fargo also expects revenues from those businesses to jump 7% and 14%, respectively, in 2027. The analyst added that Google's Broadcom TPU sales to Anthropic are expected to result in $2.5 billion and $7.5 billion "incremental, high-margin (85%) Google Cloud revenue" in 2026 and 2027, respectively, given the firm's IP licensing fee of $2,500 per TPU.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Since its launch in late 2021 Global X High Interest Savings ETF ( CASH:CA ) has grown into one of Canada's favorite spots to park their cash. It currently has $6.8B in assets, growing from $4.8B two years ago. Its popularity was aided by rising interest rates and yield curve inversion (lower short-term interest rates higher than longer-term rates). Now that Canada has reduced policy interest rates and the yield curve has normalized, I'll compare CASH:CA to other low-risk, fixed income options. What CASH Holds Unlike money market funds such as ZMMK:CA which hold short-term treasury bills and commercial paper, CASH:CA holds its assets in high-interest deposit accounts at Canadian chartered banks. Currently, assets are held at the National Bank of Canada ( NA:CA ), Scotiabank ( BNS:CA ) and CIBC ( CM:CA ). According to CASH's prospectus , it may also invest in "high-quality, short-term (one year or less) debt securities, including treasury bills and promissory notes issued or guaranteed by Canadian governments or their agencies, and banker's acceptances" but its most recent holdings show it does not currently hold any of these investments. CASH Holdings (Global X Website) Fees CASH has a Management Expense Ratio (MER) of 0.11%. This compares favorably to other high-interest savings ETFs such as Purpose High Interest Savings ( PSA:CA ) and CI High Interest Savings ( CSAV:CA ) which have MERs of 0.17% and 0.15%, respectively. It's also comparable to money market funds such as ZMMK:CA, which has an MER of 0.13%. Liquidity Liquidity is not an issue for CASH. Average daily trading volume over the last 12 months is 1,576,231, with large volumes on the bid and ask and a bid/ask spread of $0.01. Risk Unlike when you open a high-interest savings account yourself or invest in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GIC) your investment in CASH is not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CIDC) or any other governm...

London Palladium The musical-theatre megastars fall in and out of love, in opposing timelines, in a stirring production of Jason Robert Brown’s musical After her electrifying Evita , Rachel Zegler is back at the Palladium – although not on its balcony – joining Ben Platt for a 25th-anniversary concert of Jason Robert Brown’s two-hander. A few nights earlier, Lily Allen was on this stage performing her blistering broadside West End Girl, about love turned sour. The Last Five Years has an equitable approach to its own curdled marriage as a couple give their perspectives through alternating solos. Its masterstroke is to have one of them chart the story in reverse, beginning wearily post-breakup, while the other goes chronologically from first infatuation. Halfway through they duet at their wedding. Brown directs and conducts from the piano on a set by Bretta Gerecke that separates out the band on to various levels, with central staircases, evoking the apartments and urban spaces where the story unfolds. Novelist Jamie (Platt) and actor Cathy (Zegler) enter from opposite sides and meet in the middle for an embrace, foreshadowing the show’s midway union. Platt retreats, to a plangent string accompaniment, and Zegler sings her stark opener, Still Hurting, staring at the way he went. Absences are accentuated throughout the semi-staged production and Zegler painfully captures the frustration of a partner whose unfinished business goes unheard by a departed ex. Continue reading...

franz12/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Nearly 50 years ago, Apple Inc. ( AAPL ) was founded. Ironically, making a personal computer and believing that it would be highly profitable actually seemed like an April Fool’s joke. 5 decades later, we are facing not only one of the largest companies in the world (which has often reached first place in market cap), but we are also facing probably the company that takes the lead if we make a ranking of companies that have most revolutionized the planet. And precisely this solidity ends up generating some very interesting debates about the Apple case. Will the next few years be a time of slow growth? Is the main thing for Apple now dividends and buybacks, or are there still revolutions to come? Is the valuation too “premium”? There are many questions that can be explored with good points to defend different points of view. Apple’s History For the 50th anniversary, it's only fitting to offer a brief retrospective highlighting some points of Apple's history. But I will do this using the famous chart by Aswath Damodaran, which shows the corporate lifecycle. Aswath Damodaran Lightbulb Moment and The Product Test The two main stages are easy to define. The “garage” moment of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, with the idea of making a personal computer. And after the development of this idea came the product test, which would be the first “Apple” computers. The first model sold a few units (~ 200 produced), and the second already sold many more. But where the personal computer really began was with the Macintosh, which took a few years to reach the mark of 1 million sales and only reached it when Jobs had already left Apple. But the product was already more than tested, and Apple was already a large company. Amazon; Macworld: The Macintosh Magazine The Bar Mitzvah During Jobs’ time away, the company fluctuated a bit; some say it had a turnaround, and looking now, the numbers really didn't look that good. For instance, as much as reve...
