This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, Financials) has launched new subscription options for its YouTube TV service, offering more flexibility for consumers seeking lower-cost, content-specific plans. The first year of the new SportsPlan is $54.99 a month. After that, it costs $64.99 a month. It gives you access to major sports networks including ESPN, Fox Sports 1, NBC Sports Network, and the new ESPN Unlimited. For an additional $7 a month, subscribers can buy a news bundle. The first three months of YouTube's Entertainment Plan, which has channels like Comedy Central, Paramount Network, Food Network, and HGTV, cost $44.99. The price goes climb to $54.99 after that. The price of a News + Entertainment + Family plan starts at $59.99 and goes up to $69.99 after three months. The normal YouTube TV plan, which features more than 100 channels, will now cost $82.99 a month. You can still buy other features like NFL Sunday Ticket and HBO Max separately. Analysts argue that Alphabet's tiered pricing is a way for the company to keep users who are sensitive to price while still making money even while content expenses are going up and streaming competitors are getting stronger.

(00:14) US plans big tech chip tariff carve-outs linked to TSMC investment, FT reports. (01:08) Instacart inks national flower delivery deal with 1-800-Flowers in time for Valentine's Day. (02:19) This is an abridged transcript. BP is down 5% in premarket action even as the company delivered a beat on top line estimates. Revenue of $47.38B (+3.6% Y/Y) beats by $5.05B. Q4 Non-GAAP EPADS of $0.60 in-line. 2026 guidance: bp expects reported upstream production to be slightly lower and underlying upstream production to be broadly flat compared with 2025. Bp also announced that the “board has decided to suspend the share buyback and fully allocate excess cash to accelerate strengthening of our balance sheet. This creates a strong platform to invest with discipline into our distinctive deep hopper of oil & gas opportunities.” The Trump administration reportedly intends to spare some companies from forthcoming tariffs on chips . This includes Amazon ( AMZN ), Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), and Microsoft ( MSFT ) as they race to build the data centers powering the AI boom. People familiar with the matter told the Financial Times, the commerce department is planning to provide U.S. hyperscalers with tariff carve-outs, which would be tied to investment commitments made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ( TSM ). Trump has used the threat of tariffs to push for more U.S. manufacturing. But the report said, the administration has stopped short of applying broad tariffs on semiconductors from Taiwan, which would rock Big Tech’s AI supply chain. The new scheme would allow TSMC ( TSM ) to allocate exemptions for its U.S. customers from this next set of tariffs. The complex plan is intended to push TSMC to shift more production to the U.S. TSMC has pledged to invest $165B in building capacity in the U.S. An adminis...

Kevin Carter | Getty Images Coca-Cola is expected to report its fourth-quarter earnings before the bell on Tuesday. Here's what Wall Street analysts surveyed by LSEG are expecting the company to report: Earnings per share: 56 cents expected Revenue: $12.03 billion expected Like rival PepsiCo , Coke has seen demand for its drinks soften in recent quarters as low-income shoppers look to save on their grocery bills. But the beverage giant's pricier brands, like Fairlife and Smartwater, have been bright spots for the company, showing that high-income consumers are still willing to pay more for premium drinks. This will mark CEO James Quincey's last earnings report as chief executive. In December, the company announced that COO Henrique Braun will succeed him as CEO, effective March 31. Quincey will remain on Coke's board as executive chair. Shares of Coca-Cola have risen roughly 22% over the last year, raising its market value up to about $335 billion.

Key Points Bitcoin has become a globally recognized asset, which means that it competes with huge pools of capital in different markets. Companies in AI, domestic residential real estate, and U.S. Treasuries represent more than $100 trillion in value. Bitcoin supporters must focus on the long term, as adoption won’t be a straight line. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been taking it on the chin. The world's first and most valuable cryptocurrency is trading 44% below its peak (as of Feb. 9). And it's down 21% in 2026. Investors might be thinking about some key threats. Competition within the digital asset market gets attention. Interesting things are happening with Ethereum, stablecoins, and XRP. This might take the spotlight off the dominant cryptocurrency. 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 » However, investors should have their eyes on the bigger picture, focusing beyond the digital asset industry. Here are Bitcoin's three biggest trillion-dollar competitive risks. It's a global battle to attract more capital Bitcoin has a sizable $1.4 trillion market cap. It has recognition and interest not only from more individuals, but also from governments, banks, and large pools of capital. It plays on a global level. Consequently, Bitcoin's competition, particularly as it tries to become a more prominent store of value and reach broader adoption as an important asset to own, is different asset classes that represent enormous amounts of capital. In today's interest rate environment, there are three competitive risks not to ignore. Capital is flooding enterprises that are developing products and services with artificial intelligence (AI) use cases. Just look at the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Combined, they have a market cap of $21 trillion. Even if there is just a small chance that we see artificial general inte...

Early in his career, Will Lawrence worked on the product team at Facebook focused on anti-money laundering. The former PayPal president David Marcus had been brought in to help kickstart the payments initiatives company-wide, including through WhatsApp launches in India and Brazil. But Lawrence quickly learned that the main roadblock was the decidedly unsexy compliance work of making sure the product was adhering to local “know your customer” provisions and fraud prevention. After working on the compliance team at the stablecoin infrastructure company Paxos, Lawrence decided to ride the generative AI wave and enter one of the first Y Combinator batches after the launch of ChatGPT. His thesis was that anti-money laundering and know-your-customer compliance operations would be one of the breakout use cases for applying AI to financial services. Lawrence’s bet turned out to be prescient. Less than three years later, his startup Bretton AI (previously called Greenlite) is announcing its $75 million Series B funding round led by Sapphire Ventures, with participation from his seed and Series A backer Greylock, along with Thomson Reuters Ventures and Canvas Ventures. Lawrence says that the world of financial monitoring has two layers. The first is risk detection, which can be solved with more rudimentary machine learning. In other words, if a user starts sending $50 million a day, a system should easily pick up that it requires further investigation. The second layer, risk remediation, is trickier. That’s where the complex investigation takes place to figure out the background of the parties involved in suspicious transactions and whether they violate a company’s internal risk policies—and where Bretton is focused. As AI increasingly commoditizes software (and potentially makes untold numbers of SaaS startups and public companies obsolete), Sapphire managing director Rajeev Dham said that the sensitivity of a product like Bretton, which needs to sell into the trust infrast...

Colin Anderson Productions pty ltd/DigitalVision via Getty Images I previously covered RTX Corporation ( RTX ) in November 2025, discussing how the robust FQ3'25 earnings performance, the raised FY2025 guidance, and the growing multi-year backlog across the defense/commercial end markets had signaled the company's accelerated growth opportunities beyond pre-pandemic levels while triggering my reiterated Buy rating then. In this article, I shall discuss why I am reiterating my Buy rating for the RTX stock after a moderate retracement from current inflated levels, given the steep upward momentum since the April 2025 bottom, the consequently premium P/E valuations, and the moderating forward dividend yields. My optimism is attributed to the company's expanding multi-year backlog across the well-diversified commercial/defense capabilities and the richer profit margins, all of which signal its robust profitable growth prospects over the next few years. RTX Benefits From Higher Aerospace Spending Trends RTX 1Y Stock Price ( TradingView) Since my last Buy rating, RTX has indeed outperformed with a +14.6% stock price gain against the wider market at +3.3%, with it lending credence to its indispensable status during a robust commercial traveling and volatile geopolitical environment. The same has also been exemplified by the outsized multi-year backlog of $268B in FY2025 ( +22.9% YoY ) from the commercial sector at $161B (+28.8% YoY) and the defense sector at $107B (+15% YoY), as similarly observed in the new awards of $138B ( +23.2% YoY ). Despite the growing manufacturing capacity at " over 20% on a number of the critical programs," it is apparent that demand remains gated by supply, as observed in RTX's book-to-bill of 1.56x in FY2025 compared to 1.39x in FY2024, with it perhaps explaining why the management has hinted at their plans to "significantly increase output again this year, and we're also going to increase our CapEx to enable that ramp." These reasons may also b...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. AI linked stocks mostly caught a bid Monday, with investors leaning back into the trade after a Super Bowl that felt more like a tech showcase than a football game. Sunday night's broadcast was packed with ads from big AI names, and that visibility seemed to carry into markets. By midday, software and chip stocks tied to artificial intelligence were broadly higher, suggesting some risk appetite had crept back in after a choppy few weeks for tech. Salesforce and ServiceNow, both re added to Wedbush's AI 30 list, traded modestly higher, while Palantir stood out with a roughly 6% jump. Chipmakers also participated, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) up about 3%, Taiwan Semiconductor higher by around 2%, and Broadcom pushing close to 3%. The strength wasn't limited to chips. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) surged nearly 9%, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) gained more than 2%, and infrastructure linked names like CoreWeave and Nebius posted solid advances. Even behind the scenes players such as Corning and Amphenol moved sharply higher as investors revisited AI demand across the stack.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD, Financials) has appointed Ariel Kelman as its new senior vice president and chief marketing officer, the company announced Monday. Kelman joins AMD after serving as CMO at Salesforce, Inc., where he led global marketing efforts for the past three years. Kelman worked for Oracle Corporation in the same job before joining Salesforce. This gave him a lot of knowledge in enterprise software, cloud platforms, and digital transformation initiatives, all of which are becoming more important to AMD's data center and AI product plans. AMD is still competing with Nvidia and Intel in the high-performance computing arena, especially in AI accelerators, cloud infrastructure, and custom hardware. As chipmakers try to stand out in a competitive and technically difficult sector, marketing has become a very important job. Kelman's experience might help AMD improve its messaging in the corporate and hyperscaler markets, as well as assist the launch of new products like EPYC server chips, Ryzen CPUs, and AI accelerators like Instinct MI300.
