The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is known for housing some of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the market. But not every stock in the index is a winner - some are struggling with slowing growth, increasing competition, or unsustainable valuations. With rapid innovation comes rapid change, and StockStory is here to help you identify which Nasdaq 100 stocks are still worth your money. Keeping that in mind, here is one Nasdaq 100 stock that has huge potential and two that may face some trouble. Two Stocks to Sell: Intel (INTC) Market Cap: $212.2 billion Inventor of the x86 processor that powered decades of technological innovation in PCs, data centers, and numerous other markets, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is a leading manufacturer of computer processors and graphics chips.

Strategy (MSTR) Market Cap: $51.66 billion Once a traditional business intelligence software provider, Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) develops AI-powered enterprise analytics software while also functioning as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

MicroStrategy’s core analytics software has been eclipsed by its all-in Bitcoin strategy, leaving product innovation and enterprise deals starved for attention The company’s debt-financed Bitcoin buying ties shareholder fortunes to crypto swings and interest rates, amplifying downside risk and uncertainty On the bright side, its vast Bitcoin treasury gives Executive Chairman Mic...

The Indian government has reportedly reached an agreement with the EU to lower tariffs on cars imported into India from the bloc from 110% to 40%. Tariffs Could Go Lower The two governments are expected to announce the deal this week, with the tariffs on imported cars further going down to 10% over time, Reuters reported on Sunday. The agreement would see an immediate reduction in tariffs by the Indian government on cars with an import price of around 15,000 Euros (approximately $17,700), anonymous sources cited in the report said, adding that it could offer reduced tariffs for as many as 200,000 vehicles. However, the conditions are subject to change as talks are still ongoing between the two parties.

RAD Intel Could Be the Next AI Powerhouse — Just $0.85 a Share How This Could Affect Tesla, Stellantis India is the third-largest car market in the world and reduced tariffs could benefit the likes of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:STLA). While the agreement reportedly excludes any reduced tariffs on EVs for the first five years of the deal, it could ultimately prove to be a boost for the Elon Musk-led EV giant, which has so far struggled to make an impact in the Indian market. Tesla could, in the future, supply vehicles to the Indian market from its Gigafactory in Berlin to enjoy lower tariffs. Vehicles sold in the Indian market by the automaker are currently imported from Tesla's facility in Shanghai. Tesla's Chinese rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF), on the other hand, had recorded a surge in the Indian market last year. BYD has been steadily bolstering its presence in the country as tensions between New Delhi and Beijing ease. However, the deal could prove to be a major boost for Stellantis, which has brands like Jeep as well as French automaker Citroen in the market, both of which have struggled to ex...

Key Points The cryptocurrency industry experienced broad declines over the past year, with the speculative end of the market bearing most of the losses. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are two of the industry's most popular meme tokens, and each plummeted by more than 60% during 2025. I predict the lack of organic demand for Dogecoin and Shiba Inu will fuel further losses in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin › The total value of all cryptocurrencies in circulation currently stands at $3.1 trillion, which is down 29% from its peak of $4.4 trillion in late 2024. No major coins or tokens have escaped losses, not even Bitcoin, which is down 28% from its peak. However, the more speculative end of the market is definitely feeling the most pain. Meme tokens Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) fell by 61% and 66%, respectively, during 2025, but they are down even more sharply from their record highs set way back in 2021. 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 » Both cryptocurrencies are facing structural issues, which is why I predict they will suffer further declines of at least 50% during 2026. Read on. Dogecoin's never-ending supply has consequences Dogecoin was created in 2013 by two friends who used the Doge meme as inspiration, and in their own words, the entire exercise was a joke. Their goal was to lighten the mood in the cryptocurrency industry, which had become increasingly populated by investors who felt Bitcoin was poised to take over the global financial system. But things got serious in 2021, when Dogecoin amassed a market capitalization of over $90 billion, making it more valuable than most companies in the S&P 500. Unfortunately, the token's incredible ascent wasn't driven by a tangible use case, but rather by speculative investors who were betting the next person would come along and pay a higher price than they...

The "BRICS Naval Drill" That Wasn't Authored by Andrew Korybko, South Africa allowed this false perception to spread as a symbolic act of defiance against Trump given his hatred of BRICS, whose members and partners were invited to this drill, and to signal to the domestic audience that their country has friends across the world amidst its tensions with the US. Most folks have probably heard about the “BRICS naval drill” that recently took place in South African waters, which prompted a complaint from the US due to Iran’s participation. The South African Defense Minister had earlier defended the drill, to which all BRICS Plus countries were invited , as planned before the US’ seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker and aimed at ensuring safety on the high seas. All the while, the world was left with the impression that this was indeed a “BRICS naval drill”, which wasn’t true. India chose not to participate and released a statement reading that “We clarify that the exercise in question was entirely a South African initiative in which some BRICS members took part. It was not a regular or institutionalised BRICS activity, nor did all BRICS members take part in it. India has not participated in previous such activities. The regular exercise that India is a part of in this context is the IBSAMAR maritime exercise that brings together the navies of India, Brazil and South Africa.” Amidst the fake news about BRICS that’s been spread by Alt-Media , all of which centers on the false notion that it’s an allied bloc that assembled against the West, it’s understandable why many believed that this was a “BRICS naval drill”. India’s clarification that it wasn’t dispelled the perception that it’s distancing itself from the group, which is another falsehood peddled by Alt-Media, and reaffirmed that BRICS isn’t a security organization unlike what some of its enthusiasts hope that it one day becomes. As for why India didn’t join the drill in which many of its BRICS Plus partners participa...

tupungato Local authorities have reportedly approved Microsoft’s ( MSFT ) proposal to construct 15 additional data centers in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, close to an existing facility the company is already expanding. The new work in Mount Pleasant is divided into two lots just northwest of Microsoft’s current site. For the larger of the two lots, Microsoft bought the land from the village and from private owners in 2023 and 2024. The two sets of plans call for almost 9 million square feet of building area, with three proposed substations, CNBC reported, citing documents on file with the village. Mount Pleasant’s village board on Monday unanimously approved the two sets of plans, and the taxable value of the developments as Microsoft proposed exceeds $13 billion, the report said. The expanded data center capacity will enable Microsoft ( MSFT ) to realize revenue it has already booked from OpenAI ( OPENAI ) and other customers. Meanwhile, Amazon ( AMZN ), Google ( GOOG ), and Oracle ( ORCL ) are competing with Microsoft to rapidly build data centers packed with Nvidia chips to train and operate generative AI models.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology announced on Tuesday a $24 billion investment plan to build a new memory chip making facility in Singapore, as it races to boost output in the face of an acute global shortage. The news, reported earlier by Reuters, comes amid an industry scramble to build AI infrastructure that has left sectors from consumer electronics to AI service providers battling a severe scarcity of all types of memory chips. Micron said the new investment to build an advanced wafer fabrication facility over the next decade will help it meet growing market demand for NAND memory chips, fueled by the rise of AI and data-centric applications. Wafer output is set to begin in the second half of 2028 in a cleanroom space sprawling over 700,000 square feet (65,000 sqm), it added in a statement. Micron makes 98% of its flash memory chips in Singapore where it is also building a $7 billion advanced packaging plant for high bandwidth memory (HBM), used in artificial intelligence chips, due to start production in 2027. The HBM chip packaging facility in Singapore is on track to contribute to supply in 2027, it added on Tuesday. Analysts said the memory supply shortfall could run through late 2027, although the chipmaker and its main rivals, South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix, plan new production lines and are advancing dates to start production. Last week, Micron said it was in talks to buy a fabrication site from Powerchip in Taiwan for $1.8 billion, that stands to boost its DRAM wafer output. This month, SK Hynix told Reuters it plans to hasten the opening of a new factory by three months and begin operating another new plant in February.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. -backed Moonshot AI released an upgrade of its flagship model, heating up a domestic arms race ahead of an expected rollout by Chinese sensation DeepSeek. The latest iteration of Moonshot’s Kimi can process text, images, and videos simultaneously from a single prompt, the company said in a statement on Tuesday, aligning with a trend toward so-called omni models pioneered by industry leaders like OpenAI and Alphabet Inc. ’s Google. The model, known as K2.5, joins a flurry of upgrades rolled out over the past month, reflecting a rush by China’s biggest AI players to get in ahead of the next unveiling by DeepSeek, which has teased a major release in recent weeks. Its research lab has published papers by prominent staff including co-founder Liang Wenfeng as well as code on GitHub . Seeking to capitalize on reignited investor appetite for the country’s top-tier model makers, Moonshot last month raised $500 million from investors including Alibaba and IDG Capital at a post-money valuation of $4.3 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. To satisfy pent-up investor demand, the company has kicked off new rounds of financing seeking a valuation of as much as $5 billion, one of the people said. That comes after recent initial public offerings by Chinese AI rivals Zhipu and MiniMax Group Inc. collectively raised more than $1 billion in Hong Kong. The three firms are among a handful of front-runners in a hotly contested battle among Chinese large language model makers, which at one point was dubbed the “War of One Hundred Models.” Following the breakout success of DeepSeek’s R1 model at the start of 2025, many smaller players have struggled to catch up with the requisite tech upgrades and funding. Zhipu in January rolled out an image generation model, GLM-Image, that it says is the country’s first to be fully trained on domestic chips. Alibaba on Tuesday launched a reasoning version of its top proprietary model, Qwen3-Max. K2.5 outperfor...
