Shares of Advanced Micro DevicesAMD slumped 17% on the bourses yesterday despite surpassing analysts’ top- and bottom-line expectations. This pullback was most likely triggered by the chipmaker’s first-quarter sales forecast, which fell short of some analysts’ expectations. For investors, this share price slump may offer an opportune moment to invest in AMD shares, considering the company’s solid long-term growth potential, particularly in connection with the artificial intelligence (AI)-led technology boom. Against the backdrop of hyperscalers expanding infrastructure to meet rising demand for cloud services and AI, alongside enterprises modernizing their data centers, AMD is engaged in active discussions with customers on at-scale, multiyear deployments starting later this year with its Helios and MI450 platforms. This follows AMD’s multi-generation partnership with OpenAI to deploy 6 gigawatts of Instinct GPUs. However, direct investment in AMD stock carries company-specific risks, including unforeseen challenges such as sudden shifts in global semiconductor export policies or major supply-chain disruptions related to its fabrication and design processes. These operational hurdles could trigger sudden and sharp declines in AMD’s share price. Therefore, for investors looking to capitalize on this recent dip without being fully exposed to the unique single-stock volatility and company-specific challenges that could severely impact AMD’s share price at any point of time, a more prudent strategy could be to invest in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with significant exposure to this chipmaker. This approach allows investors to capture the potential upside of AMD and other industry leaders while mitigating company-specific risks arising from sector-specific challenges or geopolitical factors. But before diving straight into these ETFs, let us check AMD’s overall performance in the fourth quarter, in terms of other metrics. A Brief Analysis of AMD’s Q4 Results AMD’s fourth...

The deep learning revolution has a curious blind spot: the spreadsheet. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have mastered the nuances of human prose and image generators have conquered the digital canvas, the structured, relational data that underpins the global economy — the rows and columns of ERP systems, CRMs, and financial ledgers — has so far been treated as just another file format similar to text or PDFs. That's left enterprises to forecast business outcomes using the typical bespoke, labor-intensive data science process of manual feature engineering and classic machine learning algorithms that predate modern deep learning. But now Fundamental , a San Francisco-based AI firm co-founded by DeepMind alumni, is launching today with $255 million in total funding to bridge this gap . Emerging from stealth, the company is debuting NEXUS, a Large Tabular Model (LTM) designed to treat business data not as a simple sequence of words, but as a complex web of non-linear relationships. The tech: moving beyond sequential logic Most current AI models are built on sequential logic — predicting the next word in a sentence or the next pixel in a frame. However, enterprise data is inherently non-sequential. A customer’s churn risk isn't just a timeline; it's a multi-dimensional intersection of transaction frequency, support ticket sentiment, and regional economic shifts. Existing LLMs struggle with this because they are poorly suited to the size and dimensionality constraints of enterprise-scale tables. "The most valuable data in the world lives in tables and until now there has been no good foundation model built specifically to understand it," said Jeremy Fraenkel, CEO and Co-founder of Fundamental. In a recent interview with VentureBeat, Fraenkel emphasized that while the AI world is obsessed with text, audio, and video, tables remain the largest modality for enterprises. "LLMs really cannot handle this type of data very well," he explained, "and enterprises currently rely ...

oliver de la haye/iStock via Getty Images NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE ) is one of the largest electric utility companies on the market. The company has substantially outperformed the market since our ratings upgrade , as the market has been a fan of its steady-state utility performance. Despite that, as we'll see in this article, the company is now overvalued, making it a poor investment. NextEra Energy Results NextEra Energy managed to achieve $3.71 in EPS up 8% YoY enabling it to go near the top-end of its benchmark. NextEra Energy Investor Presentation At the same time, the company also got approval for FPLs rate agreement, enabling the company to substantially increase potential cash flow. Energy Resources has continued to do a fantastic job with low-carbon energy and the company has continued to execute on what is an ambitious capital plan in high demand datacenter makets. NextEra Energy Investor Presentation The FPL rate agreement enables the company to invest massively, almost $100 billion over the next 6-years. An almost 11% return is allowed in this plan. However, it's worth noting that the company is investing heavily in large-load power through datacenters with 20+ GW of power interest and ~9 GW of advanced discussions. Should the datacenter boom not come to fruition, that could force the company to recoup its investment elsewhere. NextEra Energy Financial Results The company's financial results were supported by strength in the FPL division and energy production. NextEra Energy Investor Presentation The company had more than $5 billion in full-year income with EPS at more than $2.4 / share for the year. The charts above are obviously not scaled well, but that high-single digit growth is impressive in a market where expenses are continuously rising for fixed inputs. NextEra Energy Investor Presentation In the Florida economy, we have some concerns that the growth rate is starting to slow down after a massive spike during COVID-19. Customer growth and mix gr...

A data breach at government technology giant Conduent appears to affect far more people than first disclosed, with the number of victims potentially stretching to dozens of millions of people across the United States. The January 2025 ransomware attack, which knocked out Conduent’s operations for several days, is now known to affect at least 15.4 million people in Texas alone, accounting for about half of the state’s population. Conduent said in October that 4 million people across the state were affected. Another 10.5 million people are affected across Oregon, per the state’s attorney general. Conduent has also notified hundreds of thousands of people across Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and other states, according to data breach notifications seen by TechCrunch. The stolen data includes individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, medical data and health insurance information. One of the largest government contractors today, Conduent handles and processes large amounts of personal and sensitive information on behalf of large corporations, government departments, and several U.S. states. The company says its technology and operational support services reach more than 100 million people in the United States across various government healthcare programs. When contacted with several questions about the data breach, Conduent spokesperson Sean Collins provided a boilerplate statement that did not address the questions, nor did they answer if Conduent knows how many individuals are affected by the cyberattack. The spokesperson would not say if the breach affects more than 100 million people. Collins said that the company has been working to “conduct a detailed analysis of the affected files to identify the personal information” taken in the breach, but would not say how many data breach notifications the company has sent out to date. Little else is known about the breach, and the company has disclosed few details. Conduent disclosed the cyberattack in April, mo...

William_Potter/iStock via Getty Images Shares of Ares Management ( ARES ) have been a poor performer over the past year, losing about 30% of their value. Shares pushed towards a 52-week low this week, given a confluence of pressures. Private credit has, of course, been an increasing concern for investors following several high-profile defaults last year. More recently, concerns about AI disruptions have exerted significant exposure on software stocks, and this is a sector that Ares has a long history of lending to and investing in. On Thursday, it reported Q4 earnings that did not appear to help address some of these concerns, sending shares 5% lower in early trading. With new financials and shares so beaten up, now is a good time to see if the dip is worth buying. Seeking Alpha Management fee growth offset by costs and a PE loss In the company’s fourth quarter , Ares Management earned $1.45 per share, which missed expectations by $0.24. Fee-related earnings (”FRE”) were $528 million. Ares generated $991 million of management fees, which was up 27%. Its $171 million of performance fees were up a much more modest 6%, reflecting the more challenging investment environment and a private equity loss, though they still grew. While its FRE margin was up 160bps from last year to 42.5%, this was a bit narrower than expected. In particular, the 42% jump in G&A spending to $189 million was surprisingly high, contributing to the earnings miss. It is important to emphasize that ARES investors are buying shares in the asset management company, which earns fees on investments, and not on investments themselves. Of course, over the long term, stronger investment performance likely leads to more inflows and more fee revenue, but Ares’s revenue will have less sensitivity in the short term to investment outcomes in private credit than the returns of its funds. This is especially true because only about 11% of its revenue is tied to performance fees, which are the most volatile. The v...

GamePH/iStock via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from the Invesco International Value Fund Q4 2025 Commentary. Performance highlights The fund's stock selection in financials, consumer staples and information technology added the most to relative performance during the quarter. Geographically, stock selection in Spain and overweights in Spain and Austria were the largest contributors to relative return. Stock selection in consumer discretionary, utilities and industrials were the largest detractors from relative return. Geographically, holdings in Germany and China were the largest detractors from relative return. Contributors to performance Below are the top individual contributors to absolute return for the quarter: Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ) is a leading electronics manufacturer known for consumer electronics, semiconductors and display panels, among others. It supplies both end-user products as well as advanced components to other manufacturers. The share price benefited from increased demand for AI chips and high-bandwidth memory. Standard Chartered ( SCBFY ) , a banking group operating in over 50 markets globally, has in our view a strong core business in Asia and growth potential through emerging markets and affluent client segments. The company had strong share price performance due to continued earnings recovery and high shareholder returns in the form of dividends and share buybacks. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria ( BBVA ) is a Spanish bank providing retail and asset management services to emerging and developed markets around the world. Its highly profitable Mexican business is in our view a clear leader in the Mexican banking sector. Robust lending and strong profit margins during the quarter supported the share price. Detractors from performance Below are individual detractors from absolute return for the quarter: Alibaba ( BABA ) is widely considered "the Amazon of China" and, in our view, has been undervalued for some time now, l...
