Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) is one of the AI Stocks Analysts Are Watching. On January 21, Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland upgraded the stock from Neutral to “Positive” and maintained a price target of $150. The firm sees the recent pullback as a buying opportunity driven by robust growth drivers, particularly AI silicon initiatives and server CPU expansion. Susquehanna’s upgrade on ARM comes despite recent market concerns about higher memory prices impacting the Mobile and PC markets. Previously, these concerns had led to several competitor downgrades, pressuring ARM’s share price. The firm views this sell-off as an opportunity, citing two company-changing initiatives as key catalysts behind the upgrade. These include the development of an AI XPI ASIC in partnership with SoftBank and Broadcom for OpenAI, as well as a custom sever CPU, which is likely for Meta, marking its first full-silicon offering and meaningful expansion of its data center addressable market. Other positives working in favor of the company include the migration from v8 to v9 products, early volume ramp of high-royalty CSS-based Aps, continued server CPU share gains at hyperscalers, and higher royalty rates driven by doubling of core counts and adoption of DC CSS designs. Susquehanna acknowledges that a royalty reset is coming for 2026 models due to memory-driven headwinds in Mobile and PC markets, it believes these challenges are "well known” and that the subdued sentiment doesn’t seem to align with upcoming catalysts. As such, we argue that depressed investor/sell-side sentiment and the stock’s recent ~40% correction stand in stark juxtaposition with these important coming initiatives that we believe could accelerate growth and royalties well beyond Arm’s model’s ~10% royalty contribution today. These catalysts should spur shares well and underpin our upgrade from Neutral to Positive, while we reiterate our $150 price target (27.5x EV/sales). Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) is a semicond...

Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) has begun building a state-of-the-art wafer fabrication plant in Singapore, with plans to invest about $24 billion (SG$31 billion) over the next ten years amid strong AI-driven demand for its memory chips. Expanding the NAND Center Of Excellence The new plant, situated within Micron's existing memory chip manufacturing campus in Singapore, will add approximately 700,000 square feet of cleanroom space. Wafer production is slated to begin in the latter half of 2028. The project is expected to generate approximately 1,600 new jobs, in addition to the 1,400 roles announced earlier for the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) advanced packaging facility, bringing Micron's total planned job creation in Singapore to around 3,000. Capacity Expansion Amid Memory Chip Shortage The new facility’s construction comes at a time when Micron is ramping up its efforts to address the global memory chip shortage exacerbated by a surge in AI data center spending, which has significantly increased the demand for memory chips, especially high-bandwidth memory used in AI servers. This trend has led to a shift in the memory supply heavily towards AI workloads, leaving fewer chips available for consumer electronics such as smartphones, PCs, and laptops. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra emphasized the company’s long-term investment in new capacity to meet the growing demand for memory chips, a process that requires a significant lead time for construction. In December, the company reported strong Q1 results, with a revenue of $8.27 billion, surpassing the $8.23 billion consensus estimate. The company also provided an upbeat outlook for Q2, expecting a revenue of $8.2 billion, compared to the $7.58 billion consensus estimate. Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Micron in the 98th percentile for quality and the 99th percentile for momentum, reflecting its strong performance.

If stock prices are any indication, investors are bracing for a rough earnings season for luxury-goods makers. A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. basket of luxury stocks has slumped 8.1% this year on flaring geopolitical tensions and questions over Chinese consumer demand, trimming much of its gains from the past two quarters. It’s an unwelcome turn, given that analysts have projected a return to growth in 2026 following two years of stagnation. “Investors are fretting that the anticipated earnings recovery is being pushed a little further out into the future,” said Sam Glover , a fund manager at EFG Asset Management. “We have seen some unwind of the more speculative buying that we saw in certain luxury names through the fourth quarter last year.” French luxury giant LVMH’s fourth-quarter results, due Tuesday, are the next test of how the industry is faring. France’s other big luxury companies, Kering SA and Hermes International , report Feb. 10 and Feb. 12, respectively. Despite the year-to-date declines, all of the stocks remain above their 2025 lows, with Kering a notable outperformer, gaining 75%. Optimism picked up after US President Donald Trump in April backed off his most harsh tariff proposals. The Goldman luxury index surged 26% from its April low through mid November, when stock prices stagnated for a month or more. Then a fresh bout of trade tension this month sent share prices slumping again. Earnings for LVMH, Hermes, Moncler SpA and Kering are expected to decline 6.1% on average in the fourth quarter, significantly underperforming the MSCI Europe where the estimated growth is 1.3% over the same period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. The key for this reporting season will be whether companies are confident they can deliver a profit rebound in 2026. For investors, there’s a lot riding on whether the sector can recover. For years, luxury stocks were seen as Europe’s answer to Big Tech : Big, fast-growing companies with resilient business m...

These companies are building strong consumer brands and can grow for years. The stock market has seen two major declines in the last five years. Through that volatility and economic uncertainty, the S&P 500 has returned 80%. This reinforces why buying strong businesses and giving them time to grow is the most reliable way to build wealth over the long term. The best (no-brainer) stocks to buy are those that benefit from a clear advantage and offer plenty of expansion opportunities. With that in mind, here are two growth stocks that are compelling buys right now. 1. Chewy Chewy (CHWY 0.79%) is a leading online retailer exclusively focused on pet supplies, and it continues to grow. The company has built a strong brand by offering thousands of products across food, pet supplies, and veterinary care. The stock has fallen about 13% over the past year, creating a timely buying opportunity amid the massive tailwind fueling Chewy's growth. Pets are family, and this is fueling a large and growing industry. Pet owners spent $90 billion on their furry family members in 2018, and this was projected to reach $157 billion in 2025. Expand NYSE : CHWY Chewy Today's Change ( -0.79 %) $ -0.25 Current Price $ 31.44 Key Data Points Market Cap $13B Day's Range $ 31.18 - $ 31.82 52wk Range $ 29.82 - $ 48.62 Volume 181K Avg Vol 7.6M Gross Margin 28.58 % Chewy's brand strength is evidenced by its revenue growing much faster than the industry. Its annual revenue has increased from $2.1 billion in 2018 to surpass $12 billion on a trailing-12-month basis. What's even more attractive is that this revenue is being driven by repeat purchases from 21 million active customers. About 84% of Chewy's sales come from its Autoship program, which lets customers schedule regular deliveries of pet food and other products. This recurring revenue is highly beneficial to investors for two reasons: The convenience of Chewy's Autoship instills customer loyalty. Investors typically award higher valuations for b...

Key Points Mirum Pharmaceuticals is at an inflection point. The company's sales are growing fast, led by the success of Livmarli. Mirum has multiple potential catalysts on the way in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Mirum Pharmaceuticals › Mirum Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: MIRM) share price has more than doubled over the last 12 months. Is this biotech stock about to soar again in 2026? I think so – for two key reasons. At an inflection point In several important ways, Mirum is at an inflection point. It achieved positive cash flow from operations in 2025. That's a significant milestone for any small biotech company. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Mirum won two approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last year. In February, the agency gave Ctexli a thumbs-up for the treatment of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), a rare genetic disorder of bile acid synthesis. The FDA also approved a tablet formulation of Livmarli in April for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) and Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC), both rare liver diseases. On Jan. 26, 2026, Mirum completed the acquisition of Bluejay Therapeutics. This transaction adds brelovitug to Mirum's pipeline. Brelovitug is a promising therapy targeting chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV), a rare liver disease with no approved treatment in the U.S. Net product sales for Livmarli jumped 69% year over year in 2025 to $359 million. Sales for bile acid replacement therapies Cholbam and Ctexli increased 31% year over year to $161 million. Mirum also expects solid momentum this year, with overall revenue guidance of $630 million to $650 million. Multiple potential catalysts ahead 2026 should also be loaded with catalysts for Mirum. The most important one, in my view, is the company's anticipated announcement in the second quarter of results fr...
