There are still cheap tech stocks to be found in this market. Despite the market's strong run, there are still cheap stocks investors can buy right now. Let's look at three cheap growth stocks to consider. 1. Nvidia In the hardware space, Nvidia (NVDA +7.44%) is actually one of the cheapest artificial intelligence (AI) stocks around, trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 23 times based on analyst fiscal 2027 (ending January) estimates. For a company that just grew its revenue by 62% last quarter, that's downright cheap. Meanwhile, with no signs of AI infrastructure spending slowing down, Nvidia is well-positioned to continue to see strong growth. Expand NASDAQ : NVDA Nvidia Today's Change ( 7.44 %) $ 12.79 Current Price $ 184.67 Key Data Points Market Cap $4.2T Day's Range $ 174.62 - $ 185.17 52wk Range $ 86.62 - $ 212.19 Volume 6.5M Avg Vol 183M Gross Margin 70.05 % Dividend Yield 0.02 % While the company is facing increased competition from AI ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), its chips are still more versatile, readily available, and have years of foundational code written on its software CUDA platform, which is optimized for its chips. It is unlikely to keep the 90% market share it holds today, but Nvidia is going to continue to get more than its fair share of the AI infrastructure spending pie, making the stock a buy. 2. Salesforce The software-as-a-service (SaaS) space is now littered with bargains, with Salesforce (CRM 0.36%) among the most intriguing options. The stock now trades at just a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio multiple of 4 and a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio below 15 based on 2026 analyst estimates. Expand NYSE : CRM Salesforce Today's Change ( -0.36 %) $ -0.69 Current Price $ 189.28 Key Data Points Market Cap $178B Day's Range $ 187.15 - $ 194.60 52wk Range $ 187.15 - $ 333.82 Volume 479K Avg Vol 9M Gross Margin 70.07 % Dividend Yield 0.88 % While there is a fear that AI will help replace softwar...

Given the strength of the stock market (especially among technology stocks) since the start of 2023, finding bargains in the tech space has gotten harder. Tech stocks have led this latest market rally, as evidenced by the approximate 80% climb in the Nasdaq-100 during that time. Their strong performance has made many of these stocks expensive to buy now. And yet, not all tech stocks have joined in this rally ... at least not yet. There are at least three cheap tech stocks with real potential for growth that investors can look to buy now. I currently own all three of these stocks. Here's what attracted me to them. 1. UiPath After a strong performance in the stock up until the end of last year, UiPath (NYSE: PATH) finds itself in the bargain bin after it recently issued disappointing guidance and its CEO resigned. The artificial intelligence (AI) automation software company helps companies automate everyday business tasks such as data entry as well as understand and process documents such as invoices. Its platform also tracks automation performance metrics and performs quality assurance, while newer solutions like its Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) offering can extract, interpret, and process data from various types of documents whether digital or even handwritten. The company has done a nice job growing within its existing customer base, as evidenced by its dollar-based net retention of 118% last quarter. However, it has struggled to add new customers, despite forming a number of recent partnerships. While this has been attributed to competition from the likes of Microsoft and its new AI offering, Copilot, it is worth considering that with AI still relatively new, many organizations are still mapping out their AI strategies and how best to implement these plans. As such, software providers are more likely to be part of the second leg of AI growth rather than the initial beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the recent sell-off has put UiPath stock in the bargain bin tradi...

Just_Super Stocks are experiencing a rotation out of momentum-driven AI trades as investors shift their focus from pure technology companies to businesses across the broader economy that are benefiting from AI integration, according to Jeff Richards, managing partner at Notable Capital. In an interview with CNBC, Richards pointed to companies like C.H. Robinson ( CHRW ), whose stock has risen 100% despite flat year-over-year revenue, as evidence that “the AI trade was the tech companies” last year, while this year investors are “betting on the companies that are benefiting from AI”—spanning industrials, retail, logistics, and manufacturing. The sell-off in software stocks reflects a fundamental disruption to the traditional venture capital model, according to Lo Toney, founding managing partner of Plexo Capital. “AI has flipped that because now intelligence shows up in cost of goods sold,” Toney explained, noting that enterprise software companies are being forced to transition from per-seat pricing to outcome-based or metered models as the cost of AI-powered features eats into margins. Richards highlighted a significant growth disparity between public and private markets, noting that Palantir ( PLTR ) is currently the only public software company growing at more than 50% annually. He pointed out that approximately $250B flowed into late-stage venture capital in 2024, capital that “didn’t go into small and mid-cap public stocks” but instead funded high-growth private companies like Databricks, Vercel, and Handshake that are generating billions in revenue. Both investors, who are stakeholders in Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), weighed in on the perceived race between Anthropic and OpenAI ( OPENAI ) to go public. Toney suggested the order of IPOs matters significantly, saying it’s about “who’s going to suck all the air out of the room,” and noted that Anthropic’s ( ANTHRO ) clear enterprise focus may give it an advantage over OpenAI ( OPENAI ) in terms of investor understanding...

Artificial intelligence remains the defining investment theme of this cycle, and few developments reinforce that view more clearly than the latest spending plans from Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Both companies recently updated investors on their capital expenditure outlooks, signaling an aggressive push to expand data center capacity and AI infrastructure. Combined, the two technology leaders are expected to invest close to $400 billion this year to support the next phase of data center expansion. Despite broadly strong earnings results, the market reaction has been mixed. Amazon shares pulled back following its report, even after only missing earnings estimates by a penny, as investors focused on the scale of planned spending. Skeptics have begun asking a familiar question: Are these companies committing too much capital to a still evolving technology? While the headline figures are undeniably large, they represent less than half of one year’s revenue for businesses of this scale. More importantly, the investments are being directed at the cloud computing business segments, which are demonstrating a reacceleration in growth. When capacity comes online, it is being absorbed quickly, often immediately, suggesting that these companies are investing into visibility rather than speculation. At a time when AI adoption is moving from experimentation toward operational deployment, Amazon and Alphabet look less like risk takers and more like infrastructure and applied technology for the modern economy. Can Amazon Stock Rally Again by Scaling AI Capabilities Amazon enters this investment cycle from a position of strength. Its cloud division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), continues to serve as a cash cow for the company and a central pillar of the global AI ecosystem. AWS recently delivered annual sales growth of 24%, a notable acceleration from the prior 20% pace. This reacceleration matters because it signals that enterprise demand is not cooling despite macro uncertai...

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Fortnite developer Epic Games says the account some people believed to be linked to Jeffrey Epstein is a “ruse.” In a reply on X, the developer writes, “an existing Fortnite account owner changed their username” to “littlestjeff1,” an alias spotted in several emailed receipts from YouTube in the Epstein files. The email suggests that “littlestjeff1” may have been connected to Epstein’s YouTube account, prompting online sleuths to search for the username on other platforms. Users later uncovered a “littlestjeff1” account on Fortnite, along with a 2019 email that mentions purchasing VBucks in Fortnite — though the sender and recipient are redacted. Online player databases showed that the “littlestjeff1” account has been active on Fortnite, fueling conspiracy theories that Epstein is still alive. Screenshot: The Verge via X But Epic Games has since debunked these claims, saying that a Fortnite player changed their name “following the revelation of littlestjeff1 as a name on YouTube.” The company adds that the Fortnite trackers, where people uncovered the alias, “only display your current name, not any prior changes to it,” and that it has “no record” of Epstein’s email addresses mentioned in the files. “Someone’s been having fun renaming their Fortnite account, but it’s recent and not connected to the email addresses in the archive,” Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says on X.

Investing.com -- Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang defended the current level of AI infrastructure spending, calling it appropriate and sustainable amid investor concerns about tech companies' capital expenditures. Speaking to CNBC on Friday, Huang predicted that the build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure would continue for seven to eight years, driven by extremely high demand for AI technology. "AI has become useful and very capable," Huang said. "The adoption of it has become incredibly high." The Nvidia co-founder dismissed worries about the tech industry adding too much capacity, distinguishing the current situation from the first internet build-out. He noted that unlike earlier tech booms, there is no idle infrastructure today, and companies like Anthropic PBC and OpenAI are generating profitable revenue. His comments come as heavy capital spending by major tech companies including Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc.'s Google, Meta Platforms Inc., and Microsoft Corp. has raised investor concerns. The market value of these four businesses has declined by nearly $1 trillion in recent days following their earnings reports. Much of this spending is expected to benefit Nvidia, which manufactures data center processors essential for developing and running AI models. Huang argued that artificial intelligence is already delivering returns for companies that have adopted it, and suggested these customers would see even better results if they had more data center capacity.

When New Zealand’s political leaders gathered to speak at the Waitangi treaty grounds where Māori chiefs and the British Crown forged a nation 186 years ago there was a striking absence: the public. As a light rain fell on the green peninsula in the far north of New Zealand on Thursday, fewer than 100 people gathered to watch the leaders welcomed onto the grounds, and only a handful of people heckled ministers as they spoke. The muted tone on the eve of Waitangi day, which commemorates the signing of the nation’s founding document the Treaty of Waitangi, marked a dramatic shift from a year earlier. In 2025, protesters turned their backs on government ministers and twice removed a microphone from David Seymour, the Act party leader and architect of the divisive treaty principles bill that sought to radically alter the way the treaty was interpreted. A year earlier, the rightwing coalition government faced record crowds and heated protests over their policies that many fear are undermining the treaty and rolling back Māori rights. The absence of protest does not necessarily mark a shift of sentiment in favour of the coalition government, which faces an election in November. Rather, it signals fatigue within the Indigenous population, a breakdown in trust in the government, and a desire to refocus attention towards Māori communities, visitors to the grounds tell the Guardian. “People are tired,” says Edward Ellison, an esteemed leader from the southern tribe Ngāi Tahu. “We’ve been beavering away on submissions, select committees … and the pace, rate and persistent aggressiveness on the treaty – it hasn’t lowered the passion – but there is that exhaustion.” View image in fullscreen New Zealand prime minister Christopher Luxon (2nd left), foreign minister Winston Peters (c), deputy prime minister David Seymour (2nd right), and fellow parliamentarians attend a ceremony commemorating Waitangi Day in Waitangi on 5 February.

The abuse of women by figures such as Epstein, and of political power by the likes of Mandelson, must be confronted. As far as I am able, I will play my part Former prime minister ‘deeply regrets’ bringing Mandelson into his government In Jeffrey Epstein’s wider circle, women and girls were treated as less than human by powerful men acting far beyond the law. The sexual trafficking plotted by him and his fellow criminals is the most egregious example of a global network of wealthy and powerful men that thinks it can act with impunity. Nothing less than a century-defining rebalancing of power and accountability is equal to this moment and the trauma of the victims. This scandal is primarily about them and their pain. But as I digest the details of what has emerged, I also find it hard to find words to express my revulsion at what has been uncovered about Epstein and his impact on our politics. During the financial crisis, I wanted every moment of every day to be spent doing everything that could be done to save people’s homes, savings, pensions and jobs. That a member of the cabinet at the time was thinking more of himself and his rich friends is a betrayal of everything we stand for as a country. That the leaks of sensitive information were going to someone we now know was the ringmaster of a cabal of abusers and enablers sickens me.

Gordon Brown has said he deeply regrets bringing Peter Mandelson into his government, and that revelations about Jeffrey Epstein’s influence on UK politics had caused him revulsion. Writing in the Guardian, Brown said the news that Mandelson was passing information to Epstein while he was business secretary was “a betrayal of everything we stand for as a country”. Brown said he was at fault for making Mandelson a peer and bringing him back into government in 2008, after Mandelson had quit as an MP to become EU trade commissioner. “I have to take personal responsibility for appointing Mandelson to his ministerial role in 2008. I greatly regret this appointment,” he wrote, saying that at the time he was told that Mandelson’s record in Brussels had been “unblemished” and he did not know about any Epstein links. “I did so in spite of him being anything but a friend to me, because I thought that his unquestioned knowledge of Europe and beyond could help us as we dealt with the global financial crisis,” Brown wrote. “I now know that I was wrong. He seems to have used market-sensitive inside information to betray the principles in which he said he believed, and he betrayed the people who believed in them – and him.” Mandelson was sacked as Keir Starmer’s ambassador to the US in September after new details emerged of his friendship with Epstein, ties that lasted beyond the late child sex offender’s jailing in 2008. But the release this week of masses of new documents about Epstein and his contacts showed the closeness of their ties. They also suggested Mandelson had received money from Epstein, and had leaked market-sensitive information to the financier, which is now the subject of a criminal investigation. Labour MPs have expressed alarm that Starmer’s decision to publish thousands of documents about Mandelson could lead to months of damaging headlines. In a statement on Friday afternoon, the Met said officers were searching two homes connected to Mandelson, in north Lond...

The late, great Tom Petty wrote the song that, ultimately, defined Louis Rees-Zammit’s American football adventure. “Runnin’ down a dream, that never would come to me …” Twelve months ago Rees-Zammit was in New Orleans watching the Superbowl and still hoping to carve out a multimillion dollar NFL career. Now here he is, back in a Welsh rugby shirt and eager to make up for lost time. Sliding doors and all that. This weekend in America all roads lead to this year’s Superbowl in California: the Seattle Seahawks v the New England Patriots . But as Wales’s 25-year-old prodigal son prepares for the contrasting vibes and smells of a sodden Twickenham in February, he insists he still has no regrets about the gridiron flirtation that removed him from Six Nations circulation for two years. That might sound fanciful given the lightning-quick Rees-Zammit never started a regular-season NFL game. Having abruptly left rugby in January 2024, he had a few pre-season run-outs for the Kansas City Chiefs before being released to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rees-Zammit made their 90-strong training squad only for a back injury and a coaching reshuffle to limit his opportunities. In August last year, he returned to rugby. When he calls the past two years “a whirlwind” he is underplaying it. At least his mother, Maxine, is pleased to have her boy home. “My mum didn’t really like American football too much – she was very happy to see me come back,” Rees-Zammit says. In his view, though, the experience made him a more versatile athlete and a better man. “I learned a lot about myself. It was a completely different culture, a completely different game. I think it’s matured me a lot.” He is also 6kg heavier, slightly quicker and, he believes, more explosive through contact: “I think my agility is a lot better. Now I feel like when I see half a gap I can properly go into it and use my footwork to get through. Previously I was very reliant on my pace. I feel like I’ve got more variety to my game. ...

Global defense spending is accelerating and driving defense stocks dramatically higher. Defense stocks soared in January. The S&P Aerospace and Defense Select index is up about 11% so far in 2026, driven higher by elevated geopolitical uncertainty, increased defense spending, and expectations of even greater government expenditures on military technologies in the near term. The State Street SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR +4.62%), which tracks that index, is up about 10.5% year to date vs. the S&P 500 index, which has risen only about 1%.

Global defense spending is rising rapidly From the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has demanded that NATO members step up their defense spending. The alliance's former goal was for each member nation to spend 2% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. But under pressure from the White House, in June of 2025, that goal was boosted to 5% by 2035. That 5% will consist of 3.5% on pure defense and the rest on defense-related infrastructure. That's quite an increase, considering some of the largest economies in the world are NATO members, including Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. Germany, with a GDP of more than $5 trillion, has announced plans to double defense spending within five years, hitting the 5% goal before 2030. We're now seeing the effects of those comm...

In this article NVDA Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 8:34 08:34 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: AI is going to fundamentally change how we compute everything Halftime Report The tech industry's surging capital expenditures for AI infrastructure is justified, appropriate and sustainable, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Friday on CNBC's "Halftime Report." " The reason for that is because all of these companies' cash flows are going to start rising," Huang said. Nvidia shares were up 7% during trading on Friday. Huang's comments come after key Nvidia customers Meta , Amazon , Google and Microsoft reported their latest earnings over the past two weeks. These companies told their investors that they plan to dramatically increase spending on AI infrastructure. In total, these hyperscalers could spend $660 billion on capital expenditures this year, with much of that spending going toward buying Nvidia's chips. Wall Street had a mixed response to the surging spending, sending Meta and Alphabet's stocks up, but punishing Amazon and Microsoft . Huang said that the "largest infrastructure buildout in human history" is being driven by "sky high" demand for computing power, which AI companies and hyperscalers can use to make more money. He cited specific examples of what Nvidia customers are doing with AI. Meta is using AI to move from a recommendation system that ran on CPUs to a system that uses generative AI and agents, Huang said. He added that Amazon Web Services' usage of Nvidia chips and AI will affect how the retail giant recommends products, and Microsoft will use Nvidia-powered AI to improve its enterprise software, Huang said. He also praised OpenAI and Anthropic , the two leading artificial intelligence labs, which both use Nvidia chips through cloud providers. Nvidia invested $10 billion in Anthropic last year, and Huang said earlier this week that the chipmaker will invest heavily into OpenAI's next fundraising round. "Anthropic is making grea...

US stocks jumped on Friday, set to rebound from a weeklong tech bruising as Wall Street reassessed worries about the impact of AI disruption and the risks of hefty Big Tech spending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) led the way higher, surging by about 2.2%, or more than 1,000 points, to within striking distance of the 50,000 milestone. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) added about 2%, as the indexes bounced back from Thursday's sharp closing losses and a week's worth of selling pressure. Wall Street is ending the week with a bounce back, as Big Tech CEOs and analysts brush aside concerns about the impact of new AI tools on legacy tech. The S&P 500 again turned positive for 2026, but the benchmark and the Nasdaq remain on track for weekly losses. Some of tech's biggest names led the charge. Nvidia (NVDA) surged over 7%, while Broadcom (AVGO) and Tesla (TSLA) posted sizable gains. Some tech gloom persisted as Amazon's (AMZN) shares tumbled 7%. In its earnings, the major cloud provider outlined plans for a massive 2026 jump in spending to at least $200 billion, even as its forecast for operating income fell short. The tentative risk-on tone extended beyond stocks, as bitcoin (BTC-USD) climbed steadily back to above $68,000, having touched a 16-month low overnight. But the biggest cryptocurrency is still on track for its worst weekly performance since 2022 after wiping out all of its post-Trump election gains this week. Strategy (MSTR), one of the companies most affected by the crypto slump, revealed a loss for the quarter. The results initially weighed on its stock, but shares were up over 13% on Friday as bitcoin revived and Strategy's CEO played down concerns about debt-servicing risks. Elsewhere, Stellantis (STLA) warned it will take a charge of over 22 billion euros ($26 billion) in a plan to scale back its EV push. Shares in the Jeep maker tanked over 20% on Wall Street and in Milan (STLAM.MI). Looking ahead, the release of ...

Earnings Call Insights: Graham Corporation (GHM) Q3 2026 Management View CEO Matthew Malone reported "another strong quarter," highlighting a 21% increase in revenue to $56.7 million, supported by key project milestones in defense and contributions from new and existing programs. Malone emphasized the scalability and productivity of Graham's operating model as volumes grow. Malone announced the completed acquisition of Xdot Bearing Technologies, stating it "strengthens our competitive position in an area where performance, reliability and efficiency are becoming increasingly critical across aerospace, defense, energy transition and industrial applications." The acquisition of FlackTek was completed for $35 million, with a potential $25 million earn-out. Malone stated, "FlackTek leverage adds advanced materials and processing as a third core technology platform for Graham," and noted its role in creating a more balanced revenue mix and enhancing recurring revenue streams. Malone described FlackTek's MEGA product as "the world's only production scale bladeless dual asymmetric centrifugal mixer capable of processing multi-hundred kilogram batches and in a 55-gallon drum format." Malone detailed organic investments, including the completion of the Navy manufacturing facility in Batavia and expansion in Arvada, Colorado, as well as a new cryogenic test facility in Jupiter, Florida, all aimed at improving throughput, quality, and scalability for defense, energy, and space programs. CFO Christopher Thome stated, "Revenue was $56.7 million, an increase of 21% compared to the prior year, reflecting continued strong execution across our diversified end markets."

The United States accused Beijing on Friday of conducting a secret nuclear test in 2020 as it called for a new, broader arms control treaty that would bring in China as well as Russia. The accusations at a global disarmament conference highlighted serious tension between Washington and Beijing at a pivotal moment in nuclear arms control, a day after the treaty limiting US and Russian missile and warhead deployments expired. “I can reveal that the US government is aware that China has conducted nuclear explosive tests, including preparing for tests with designated yields in the hundreds of tonnes,” US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas DiNanno told a Disarmament Conference in Geneva. Advertisement The Chinese military “sought to conceal testing by obfuscating the nuclear explosions because it recognised these tests violate test ban commitments. China has used ‘decoupling’, a method to decrease the effectiveness of seismic monitoring, to hide their activities from the world,” he said. DiNanno said China had conducted one such “yield-producing test” on June 22, 2020. 02:37 Trump orders US military to resume nuclear weapons tests for first time in 33 years Trump orders US military to resume nuclear weapons tests for first time in 33 years US President Donald Trump in October ordered the US military to immediately resume its process for testing nuclear weapons, saying other countries were doing so but without offering any details or identifying them.

porcorex/iStock via Getty Images Introduction & Thesis TradingView The price of Bitcoin has fallen from its all-time high (ATH) by 44% and continues in free fall since October 7, 2025, when it hit $126,000. Today it is a $70,000 price tag and continues to slide downwards. It was on January 20 when Bitcoin broke its average of 50 sessions, which has caused an acceleration of its fall to current levels. This downward rupture is important to understand price dynamics, as it has historically acted as a psychological point in the creation of bear markets. In addition to this, and as can be seen in the previous image, my Bitcoin trend indicator, composed of the LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) of the price, indicates the existence of a downward trend in the price (red line). Fund Website Fund Website Today we will analyze Bitcoin, using the listed vehicle Bitwise Bitcoin ETF ( BITB ). As the reader familiar with digital assets will know, this ETF aims to track the spot price of Bitcoin, so performing an analysis of the underlying asset (Bitcoin) is entirely relevant at this point. As the reader can see in the image above, it is an ETF that has only one holding (Bitcoin), with more than 35,000 coins in its portfolio and a 100% ETF exposure to this asset. In addition to this, it can be seen how, at the cost level, the fund has an associated sponsor fee that discounts from the NAV on an annual basis. Bitbo At the level of ETF currency flows, it can be seen that in recent days there have been accumulated outflows of USD 210 million and inflows of USD 84 million. This behavior extrapolated to the rest of the ETFs has constituted a selling force throughout the beginning of 2026. For the time being and with respect to the investment thesis, I recommend holding the vehicle in your portfolio if you have it and going to DCA (dollar cost average) to average purchases in drops as it is at a lower average price. I have no doubt about Bitcoin as an asset, but I would never sell it u...
