The Coca-Cola Company ( NYSE: KO ) closed in the green for the seventh consecutive trading session, with the stock closing 0.80% higher at $79.14 on Friday. KO has added 7.46% over the course of the last six trading sessions compared to a fall of 2.58% in the benchmark S&P 500 Index during the same period. While in 2025, the stock posted a substantial growth of 12.46% compared to a fall of 0.69% in the S&P 500 Index. Coca-Cola shares showed relative strength during a broader U.S. market decline, outperforming major indexes, as the company is scheduled to report earnings in the second week of February. Earlier in January, Coca-Cola said it was exploring a potential initial public offering of its Indian bottling unit, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, targeting proceeds of about $1 billion and a valuation of nearly $10 billion. The proposed listing, which could rank among India’s largest consumer IPOs this year, is viewed as part of the company’s strategy to unlock value from its bottling operations. Looking at Seeking Alpha’s Quant rating , KO was rated as a Hold with a score of 3.29 out of 5. The company was rated A for profitability, while it got a C for growth and a D- for valuation. Seeking Alpha analysts also maintained a cautious outlook, assigning a Hold rating of 3.40 out of 5, while Wall Street analysts rated the stock a Buy, with 19 rating the stock Buy or higher and 5 rating it Hold. According to a report by Agar Capital , Coca-Cola remains a Buy with a $90 price target, supported by its resilient business model and defensive qualities amid market uncertainty, despite key risks including a strong dollar, pressure on low-income consumers, shifting beverage preferences, and an upcoming CEO transition.

Nvidia stock is having a massive day on the market. After big sell-offs in yesterday's session, Nvidia (NVDA +8.01%) stock is bounding higher Friday. The company's share price was up 8.2% as of 3:40 p.m. ET. Nvidia is rising today following the publication of Amazon's fourth-quarter report and the issuance of forward guidance yesterday. The artificial intelligence (AI) leader's share price also appears to be getting a boost from comments made by CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia stock rises thanks to Amazon's massive capex guidance Amazon published its Q4 results after the market closed yesterday and posted earnings results that fell short of the market's expectations. The company also announced guidance for $200 billion in capital expenditures this year as it continues to build out its AI infrastructure and pursue other growth initiatives. Expand NASDAQ : NVDA Nvidia Today's Change ( 8.01 %) $ 13.77 Current Price $ 185.65 Key Data Points Market Cap $4.2T Day's Range $ 174.62 - $ 187.00 52wk Range $ 86.62 - $ 212.19 Volume 8.8M Avg Vol 183M Gross Margin 70.05 % Dividend Yield 0.02 % While the earnings miss and massive guidance forecast spurred a sell-off for Amazon, it helped power substantial gains for Nvidia stock today. Nvidia is the leading provider of advanced processors that are at the heart of Amazon's AI data center infrastructure, and the tech giant's capex guidance point to a favorable demand outlook. Nvidia's CEO weighs in with tech outlook Speaking in response to big sell-offs for tech stocks that occurred earlier in the weak, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the sector valuation pullback as illogical. While it's not surprising that the CEO would have a bullish stance on valuations in the AI space, and for his company in particular, his comments have frequently been shown to have market moving power. Investors appear to be heeding Huang's reassurances and buying back into AI growth stocks today.
Key Takeaways The AI trade was hit with a double whammy this week when massive AI spending forecasts from Alphabet and Amazon amplified uncertainty about their return on investment and new tools from Anthropic sent software stocks spiraling.

Key Takeaways The AI trade was hit with a double whammy this week when massive AI spending forecasts from Alphabet and Amazon amplified uncertainty about their return on investment and new tools from Anthropic sent software stocks spiraling. Some experts say this week's trading reflects a healthy reset of expectations that many on Wall Street thought were getting too optimistic. AI was the rising tide lifting all boats. These days, it’s sinking as many as it’s lifting. Investor anxiety is building in tandem with Big Tech’s AI spending, creating an environment in which the slightest whiff of uncertainty can wreak havoc on stocks. The four hyperscalers that reported earnings in the past two weeks—Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN)—all laid out plans to continue aggressively investing in AI infrastructure. Alphabet and Meta say this year’s infrastructure spending will be about double last year’s. Amazon on Thursday forecast 2026 capital expenditures of $200 billion, a 50% year-over-year increase and about $50 billion more than Wall Street expected. Microsoft didn’t provide a dollar estimate, but its capital spending the rest of the year is expected to be consistent with last quarter, when it rose by more than 60%. “Just like last earning season, the hyperscalers are coming out with ever higher estimates of capital spending,” said Gina Martin Adams, Chief Market Strategist at HB Wealth Management. “And just like last earnings season, we're really questioning how much that is going to ultimately pay off for them.” Why This Is Important Concerns about an AI bubble pressured tech stocks throughout the second half of last year. Some experts say this week's tech sell-off has helped relieved some of that pressure and reset expectations that were becoming too optimistic. Wall Street’s concern about return on investment has been evident in markets for weeks. Meta stock skyrocketed after it reported ad revenue growth accelerated last quarter...

By Milana Vinn and Krystal Hu Feb 6 (Reuters) - Private equity firm Vista Equity Partners is leading a new funding round of over $350 million in artificial intelligence chip startup SambaNova Systems, marking a rare departure from its traditional focus on enterprise software, according to people familiar with the matter. Vista, through a partnership with early-stage venture capital firm Cambium Capital, is investing in the Series E round for the chipmaker, three sources told Reuters. Other investors in the oversubscribed round include existing backer Intel Corp, which currently plans to invest about $100 million, with potential commitments of up to $150 million, two of the sources said. The AI computing startup is seeking the funding to compete with market leader Nvidia Corp and meet growing demand for inference chips used in AI applications. Reuters could not determine the valuation of the round, and sources cautioned that fundraising is ongoing and final terms could change. Vista, SambaNova and Intel declined to comment. Cambium did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. For Vista, with over $100 billion in assets, and a firm that "invests exclusively in enterprise software companies" according to its website, funding the AI chip startup marks a rare move outside its investment focus. The firm, known for large software acquisitions, has acquired cloud computing company Citrix Systems in 2022 and software company Nexthink in 2025. The deal comes as software stocks have come under pressure in recent months as AI has gone from a tailwind for many of these companies to a potential source of disruption. A selloff in global software shares this week wiped out nearly $1 trillion in value as investors reassess valuations. At the same time, interest in AI hardware has surged following a flurry of dealmaking around Nvidia challengers, as AI companies seek chips that can run inference quickly and efficiently. AI chipmaker Cerebras Systems said this...

Jacobs Stock Photography Ltd/DigitalVision via Getty Images Big Tech is getting hammered during their earnings season. Software and tech stocks are getting hit in general—and I'm buying into the software meltdown for the record—but specifically for our hyperscalers, it's been a solid retreat. Data by YCharts The similarity between their earnings calls? AI CapEx is increasing. It's not just increasing. It was already elevated over the last two years. An increase from the last increase is a parabolic move in spending. Capital-light cloud businesses are becoming capital-heavy firms that build " token factories ." Amazon ( AMZN ) is raising their 2026 CapEx to 50% higher than it was previously and getting pummeled for it by markets. Alphabet's ( GOOGL ) transition is particularly stark. They are already processing >1.3 Qa tokens per month, but they want even more capacity, and that requires heavy capital investment. Chartr | Sherwood Bulls Lose Confidence In CapEx I'm a buyer at these levels and have been openly claiming that I'm feeling like the "lone bull in the china shop" when I talk about why I'm still holding a big basket of large- and mid-cap tech firms. Fundamentally, I don't believe that AI is killing software (maybe some of them, but not the sector as a whole), and I don't believe that this spending will be in vain. As the adage goes, "you gotta' spend money to make money." The move from spending to making money won't be instant, which is why I am bullish on companies that print cash. Even if free cash flow ratios are falling (because that cash is being spent on data center construction), they are still incredibly high in the grand scheme of stocks. Even my colleague Julia Ostian, who often writes just as—if not more—bullishly than me, is downgrading Amazon (from a strong buy to a buy, but still). To be fair, Amazon does have the worst-looking free cash flow in the Mag 7 (minus Tesla). Data by YCharts Where she and I agree, and what is relevant to my point in ...

Greggory DiSalvo/iStock via Getty Images Historically speaking, I have been very skeptical about investment opportunities that have very high dividends. This is especially true when it comes to funds/ETFs that boast hefty payouts exceeding 8%. Many of these opportunities are disappointing because they chronically underperform the market. Many investors also see that, in the case of some companies, the payouts are so large that they erode fundamental value. But every so often, I will come across an opportunity that looks appealing in the space. And a good example of this can be seen by looking at Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF ( PFFA ). In my article about it, published in October of last year, I called it a " preferred strategy" for investors as the U.S. economy seems to be heading toward a recession. In addition to being diverse, it focuses on a class of assets that are safer than traditional common stock. It had a good history of outperforming the index that it was set up to be measured against. And up until around the middle of 2025, it was capturing returns that trailed the market only marginally. Considering the risk profile of the market at that time, I believed that it made for a good risk-adjusted "Buy" candidate. Since then, it has underperformed the market, but only slightly. The S&P 500 is up 5.2%, while PFFA is up 4.3%. And while it is entirely possible that this return disparity could continue, I think that in light of where the economy is, it still makes sense to "B uy" in too for those that are seeking attractive payouts and low risk. A Good Reason To Bank On PFFA As I have been detailing in articles since August of last year, the U.S. economy seems to be heading toward a recession. Almost every metric that I look at has been indicating as much. This includes consumer confidence numbers, delinquency rates on debt, unemployment figures, job creation data, and more. I don't know when the recession will come, but absent a major change by the poli...

What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded from a week of heavy selling. This rally was fueled by a recovery in technology stocks and a significant bounce in Bitcoin, which stabilized after losing over half its value from its October peak. Investor sentiment was also lifted by a surprising improvement in U.S. consumer sentiment and the realization that massive AI-related capital expenditure, such as Amazon's planned $200 billion, directly benefits chipmakers like Nvidia and Broadcom. These "pick-and-shovel" winners jumped as much as 7%, helping the S&P 500 edge back into positive territory for 2026. The highlight of the day was the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which surged and crossed the historic 50,000 threshold for the first time. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Zooming In On Cogent (CCOI) Cogent’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 33 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 16 days ago when the stock gained 3.3% on the news that President Trump cooled fears of a transatlantic trade war by calling off scheduled tariffs on European allies. The rally followed a productive meeting in Davos with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, where a "framework of a future deal" regarding Greenland and the Arctic region was established. By explicitly ruling out the use of military force and suspending the 10% tariffs previously set for February 1st, the administration provided the "sigh of relief" the market desperately needed after Tuesday's sharp sell-off. Technology and semiconductor leaders like Nvidia and AMD spearheaded the recovery as investors quickly pivoted back into gro...
