Key Points Recent earnings reports from several leading technology names are forcing investors to rethink which AI companies are actually building viable AI businesses. As it turns out, the outfits that combine hardware and software and service into a complete system may have an edge. This name isn’t seen as a major AI prospect right now, but continued growth this year should decisively make the point. 10 stocks we like better than International Business Machines › Most investors looking to capitalize on the artificial intelligence (AI) craze start their search with a familiar name like Nvidia, Microsoft, or Alphabet. And understandably so. These companies are not only advancing AI technology but monetizing it more than most other outfits. There's a largely overlooked AI outfit, however, that's just now coming into its own and could readily outperform the industry's more popular picks. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » That name? International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM). You know it better as IBM. Yes, that IBM That's not a typo. Most people may not realize it, but IBM is very much in the artificial intelligence business. It's just in it in a way that doesn't look like what most people think of when they think of AI. Chief among these differences is that it doesn't offer a consumer-facing platform like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's Gemini. Most of its tools are built for business purposes, like automation or AI-powered customer service agents. The other big difference is how it offers these solutions. Unlike Nvidia, which largely focuses on processor chips, or Alphabet's Google, which simply provides cloud-based access to its AI platform, IBM sells and then services entire mainframe computers capable of handling AI work, giving its customers the flexibility that can only come with ownership of such equipment. It's the business mod...

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), a global software and cloud solutions provider, closed Tuesday’s session at $413.27, down 0.08%. The stock moved as investors weighed a Melius downgrade focused on AI spending risks against bullish analyst commentary and data highlighting resilient long-term AI earnings power. Trading volume reached 44.6 million shares, about 48% above its three-month average of 30.2 million shares. Microsoft IPO'd in 1986 and has grown 424,974% since going public. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) slipped 0.33% to 6,942, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) fell 0.59% to finish at 23,102. Within information technology, industry heavyweights Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) closed at $273.68 (-0.34%) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) ended at $318.58 (-1.77%), underscoring pressure across large-cap software and internet names. What this means for investors Analysts are starting to voice concern over Microsoft’s lofty capital spending plans. The higher AI capex introduces risk to cash flow and may give investors pause in buying the stock. This week, analysts at Melius downgraded Microsoft to a “hold” with a $430 price target, pointing to higher AI capex and cash flow risk. Stifel analyst Brad Reback also recently downgraded the stock and dropped his price target by nearly 30%. The analyst said it is "time for a break" after all the AI hype. Investors should still expect AI-driven earnings growth, however. The company’s Azure and other cloud services revenue increased 39% in the recently announced fiscal second quarter. That should give long-term investors confidence to hold onto shares of this tech giant. Should you buy stock in Microsoft right now?

Key Points For the 18th time in a row, the niche medical device maker set a new all-time high for quarterly revenue. It also handily topped the consensus analyst estimate for adjusted net profit. 10 stocks we like better than Iradimed Corporation › The stock of advanced medical devices maker Iradimed (NASDAQ: IRMD) was the very picture of health on Tuesday. The company released its latest earnings report, which revealed that -- for the 18th quarter in a row -- it set a new all-time high revenue figure. Also, both the top and bottom lines rose at double-digit rates. Investors rewarded this by trading the stock up by nearly 10% that day. Yet another peak In its fourth quarter of 2025, Iradimed earned $22.7 million in revenue, a 17% improvement over the same period of 2024. Net income not in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP) flew higher, rising 23% to just under $7 million ($0.54 per share). Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » With that bottom-line figure, Iradimed notched the latest in a series of beats on the consensus analyst estimate, which in this instance was $0.48 per share. The average pundit projection for revenue wasn't immediately available. The company, which specialized in intravenous infusion pump systems and monitoring systems designed to work with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures, benefited from the rollout of a new product. This is the 3870 intravenous infusion pump, which the company began shipping during the quarter. Iradimed also announced a dividend raise in its earnings release. The company's quarterly payout is to rise from $0.17 per share to $0.20, effective with the next distribution. This will take place on March 6 for investors of record as of Feb. 23. More growth in store? Iradimed also proffered guidance for the entirety of 2026. It's estimating that revenue will come i...

Iuliia Zavalishina/iStock via Getty Images Consumption is a critical component of GDP, making up nearly 70%. While GDP growth is increasingly becoming driven by AI investments, and that narrative is still playing out, GDP itself still hangs largely on the consumer's back—or rather on their wallets. So it's alarming to see news of retail sales “ flatlining in December. ” That's a direct gauge of consumer health, and while backward-looking, it gives us a clearer picture of where we may be now. Retail sales were shaky all year, with this last data release coming under consensus and essentially flat but above the worst months in 2025, which saw near-1% declines. Department of Commerce via Bloomberg Spending Habits Are Changing This reminded me of this chart I saw a few weeks ago from Placer Labs, which tracks foot traffic into retail stores. They noted that discount and dollar stores like Dollar General ( DG ) and Dollar Tree ( DLTR ), among others, had fallen. It would seem that consumer spending was flat because they were trading down on the price chain to afford similar quantities. Placer Labs They noted similar trends among off-price retailers—above the dollar stores in the price-to-quantity ratio but below superstores—and thrift stores as well, with their traffic also spiking during the peak of this holiday shopping season compared to last year. Placer Labs The consumer becoming more money-conscious is not a good sign of their robustness. I was quick to dismiss the retail sales data being flat as noisy, especially considering that 2024 was an unusual year in wage growth, so comparisons are tough. But take in the data that off-price, thrift, and dollar stores are taking market share of consumers while the YoY rate is flat, and it looks like contraction to me. Spending Growth Is Going to Housing and Cars We can look at what consumers are spending on to help understand where the money is going.

Czech ice dancers Kateřina Mrázková and Daniel Mrázek made their Olympic debut on Monday, an unfathomable feat that takes a lifetime of dedication and practice. But the sibling duo used AI music in their rhythm dance program, which doesn’t break any official rules, but serves as a depressing symbol of how absolutely cooked we are. As Mrázek spun his sister in a crazy cartwheel lift sort of move that made them look superhuman, one of the NBC commentators mentioned in passing, “This is AI generated, this first part,” referring to the music. Somehow, that admission is even more baffling than the gravity-defying tricks that the siblings showed off on the pressure of Olympic ice. The Olympic ice dance competition is split into two events: the rhythm dance, where pairs must perform a routine that meets a specific theme, and the free dance. This season’s theme is “The Music, Dance Styles, and Feeling of the 1990s.” British ice dancing duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson paid tribute to the Spice Girls, while United States favorites Madison Chock and Evan Bates skated to a Lenny Kravitz medley. But, for whatever reason — licensing issues? — Mrázková and Mrázek danced to a routine with music that’s half AC/DC and half AI. It’s weird. What’s even weirder is that this isn’t the duo’s first use of AI, nor is it the first time that this choice backfired. Per the International Skating Union, the governing body that oversees competitive ice skating, the duo’s music choice for the rhythm dance this season has been “One Two by AI (of 90s style Bon Jovi)” and “Thunderstruck by AC/DC.” The official Olympics website confirms that the duo is using the AI-generated song for the rhythm dance portion. The Czech siblings have faced backlash before for using AI-generated music. Earlier in the season, they played a ’90s-inspired song for their routine that began with a wailing declaration: “Every night we smash a Mercedes Benz!” If that sounds familiar, it’s because that lyric comes directly from...

Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF) has reached breakthroughs in its Sodium-ion, as well as solid-state battery pursuits. 10,000 Charging Cycles The automaker shared in an investor note that its sodium-ion batteries would be capable of 10,000 cycles, CnEVPost reported on Sunday. The company also shared that its sodium-ion battery research platform had reached its third generation, the report suggests. Typically, current batteries are capable of anywhere between 1,500 and 3,000 cycles. An enhanced cycle range for the EV battery could significantly increase its lifespan, helping the battery last for years. Don't Miss: Missed Nvidia and Tesla?

Beijing came under sharp criticism on Tuesday at a highly contentious US Congressional hearing on the influence of foreign funds in US politics – but so did US President Donald Trump The hearing by the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which shapes tax and tariff legislation, comes amid deep partisanship and Trump’s declining popularity ahead of a November midterm election “Tax-exempt organisations funded by foreign donors are exploiting very lucrative US tax benefits to incite violence and unrest in our communities and destabilise our political process,” said Jason Smith, chairman of the committee, a Republican from Missouri. “Many of these tax-exempt groups also have documented ties to hostile foreign governments, like the Communist Party.” Advertisement Republicans called out, among others, the “Singham Network”, an informal complex of non-profit organisations, media outlets and think tanks funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American millionaire and former software entrepreneur based in Shanghai Specifically, they accused it of donating US$20 million to the People’s Forum, a New York-based civic group, to support protests and support left-wing causes and push pro-Beijing narratives and anti-US propaganda. The Forum did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ‘We have a deal’: Trump claims breakthrough after ‘12 out of 10’ talks with Xi Jinping ‘We have a deal’: Trump claims breakthrough after ‘12 out of 10’ talks with Xi Jinping Democrats countered that removing malign foreign influence was desirable, but Tuesday’s hearing was more about targeting progressive groups selectively, rather than dealing with more obvious targets.

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. It seems clear at this point to say that Donald Trump does not want to spend a single dime on EV charging. He tried to freeze $5 billion in funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was approved as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And when a federal judge ordered the government to unfreeze the funds, his administration came up with a new tactic to stall the plan. EV chargers must now be built in the US, with components that also originate in the US, in order to receive federal funding, the US Department of Transportation said today. Under the proposal, EV chargers would need to boost their US-made parts from 55 percent to 100 percent in order to be eligible for NEVI funding. But industry and environmental groups say the new requirements would essentially stop EV charging build-out in its tracks. “This proposal does not meet industry where it is today and may discourage further investment in the production of U.S.-made EV chargers,” Albert Gore, executive director of the Zero Emissions Transportation Association, said in a statement. “Ultimately, this will hinder the job growth that Buy America is intended to create.” The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China. Thanks to heavy government subsidies and years of investment, Chinese companies have largely supplied most of the EV charging stations that are installed in the US, Europe, and elsewhere. The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China. And while US manufacturers are getting up to speed thanks to NEVI, there isn’t a single EV charging station online today that can say 100 percent of its materials a...

One man and a much-anticipated trim. But it started to feel, for Manchester United, Ilett's long wait for the club to win five games in a row had become an unwanted irritation. There was a time when it seemed as though United were prepared to play along with the gag. They did, after all, include a barbers' room in their £50m training ground upgrade at Carrington. What better way to have a bit of fun? Now though, in public and private, they are having nothing to do with it. Skipper Bruno Fernandes and manager Michael Carrick were dismissive when asked about it after victory number four, against Tottenham - although Carrick's admission he had been told of the saga by his kids hints at the wider attraction. Ilett's daily social media updates and the before and now pictures scattered across the digital sphere were initially quite amusing but serve as a reminder of how bad the team's form has been. Ilett plans to donate his hair to the Little Princess Trust and set up a JustGiving page for the children's cancer charity, for those who wanted to offer financial support. His initial fundraising target of £500 for the the Little Princess Trust has been exceeded significantly and by Tuesday afternoon stood at £6,132. As attention-grabbing initiatives go, his pledge didn't seem especially outrageous when he made it. United had completed five-in-a-row eight months earlier, the 11th time it had happened - including the end of the 2015-16 season and start of 2016-17 - in just under 11 years following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

To put that into context, United's fellow...

Key Points Since 2001, this oil and gas company has raised its dividend every year by 21% on average. It looks well-positioned to maintain that pace in 2026 even if an expected energy supply glut hits markets. 10 stocks we like better than Canadian Natural Resources › There's a saying on Wall Street: "Dividends don't lie." Just about every financial metric can be fudged or spun by management, but the dividends either arrive in a brokerage account, or they don't. Since 2000, the S&P 500 companies have grown their payouts by 376%, or an average of 4.76% each year. That's kept ahead of the 92% inflation seen in that time frame. Still, after over 25 years, it's nothing to write home about. Thankfully, some companies have offered income growth that's orders of magnitude greater. Coming in near the top of the list is Calgary-based oil and gas firm Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE: CNQ). 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.

By 2011, its dividend had grown by 620% since 2001's payouts, and by 2021, its dividend had mushroomed 553% from 2011's levels. Today, its quarterly payouts are up exactly 100% from those of five years ago. Since 2001, not only has the company raised its dividend every year, but it's done so by an average of 21% each year. All told, its dividend has grown 9,300% since 2001. Of the hundreds of income stocks I've analyzed over the years, I've never seen a company like this. Can the streak continue? Canadian Natural Resources generated an operating cash flow of $14.8 billion last year, which easily covers the $3.6 billion needed to pay its current dividend. In fact, the company could grow its payouts by another 21% in...
