Broadcom (AVGO +3.48%) stock surged 4.7% through 11:15 a.m. ET Monday after Bernstein analyst Stacy A. Rasgon published a bullish note on the artificial intelligence industry in general, and on Broadcom, and also Nvidia (NVDA +1.50%), in particular. The analyst says Bernstein owns both stocks itself, and rates both Broadcom and Nvidia "outperform." Bernstein loves Broadcom Since hitting highs late last year, artificial intelligence stocks have been in a bit of a funk. Broadcom itself topped $413 per share on Dec. 10, but is down 22% since, as investors worry that the AI hype might have gotten overblown. Rasgon, however, has no such worries. "AI demand currently shows no signs of slowing," says the analyst, and this is creating powerful profits for Broadcom. Last quarter, sales increased 16%, while profits rose 173%. Expand NASDAQ : AVGO Broadcom Today's Change ( 3.48 %) $ 10.79 Current Price $ 320.65 Key Data Points Market Cap $1.5T Day's Range $ 315.00 - $ 326.47 52wk Range $ 138.10 - $ 414.61 Volume 822K Avg Vol 26M Gross Margin 64.96 % Dividend Yield 0.78 % What it means for Broadcom Rasgon calls the valuation on Broadcom "absurdly attractive" -- at least, assuming the AI trend has legs. Looking ahead to 2027, the analyst forecasts per-share profit of $20 or more for the semiconductor giant. And admittedly, this is only a forward earnings estimate, but if he's right, then at $324 per share today, the stock is selling for only 16 times those forward earnings (or less). Now consider that Broadcom only earned $5.12 per share over the past year, and what does this mean? It means roughly 400% earnings growth over the next two years. 100% growth this year. Another 100% growth next year. Even valued on trailing earnings, Broadcom stock costs only 60 times earnings. If it can maintain 100% earnings growth for even just two years, though, then, yes, I'd have to agree that even 60x earnings sounds absurdly cheap.

What happened Shares of Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) were rising today after an analyst released a positive investor note about the company's stock. Broadcom's stock price may also be benefiting from investors' increasingly optimistic view of the semiconductor space. The tech stock was up by as much as 7.5% today and had gained 3.9% as of 3:19 p.m. ET. So what Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar reiterated his overweight rating on Broadcom stock today, with a $750 price target, and said that this year's semiconductor trends in cloud computing and hyperscale computing could be good for the company. The positive investor note comes just one day after Texas Instruments, which is also a key player in the semiconductor sector, posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. Texas Instruments' revenue jumped 19% and net income spiked 27%, year over year, thanks to strong chip demand from customers. Broadcom investors were likely keeping close tabs on those results, as they serve as an indicator of the overall health of the semiconductor market right now. Now what Broadcom reported its fourth-quarter results last month, and the company surpassed analysts' consensus estimates for both sales and earnings. Management said at the time that it expects that first-quarter sales (which will likely be reported in March) will increase 14% from the year-ago quarter. With the semiconductor market humming along right now and Broadcom in a solid position to benefit from the increasing demand for chips, investors may have more to look forward to from Broadcom's stock in the coming quarters. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom Ltd When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen.

Trading in two-year German bond futures was halted twice on Monday, leaving traders struggling to keep up with swings triggered by US President Donald Trump ’s decision to back down from strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure. It’s the first time that trading in so-called Schatz futures was interrupted since March 2023, when the European Central Bank hiked its key interest rate by 50 basis points. On Monday, the contracts swung from losses to gains following Trump’s comments . German bond futures are an integral source of liquidity for European traders, and pricing on the underlying bonds was impacted by the halts. The initial volatility interruption took place at 11:05 a.m. London time, before another at 11:17 a.m. The interruptions aim “to ensure market integrity and price continuity by preventing the matching of incoming orders that would lead to an erroneous trade price, and by stopping sudden price cascades,” said Irmgard Thiessen, a spokesperson for Deutsche Boerse AG , owner of the Eurex exchange which operates the futures. Brent plunged more than 14% immediately after Trump’s announcement, which came as fears were growing of an escalation in the conflict. While Iranian media was quick to deny Trump’s claims, German two-year bonds remained higher.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - MARCH 21: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) K-pop boy band BTS perform onstage during comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square on March 21, 2026 in Seoul, South Korea. The free concert is the band's first performance in nearly four years. (Photo by Kim Hong-Ji - Pool/Getty Images) Pool | Getty Images Entertainment | Getty Images Shares in Hybe, the parent company of South Korean boyband BTS, fell 15% on Monday as their much-anticipated comeback in Seoul on Saturday drew a smaller crowd than expected. Local authorities said just over 100,000 fans attended the band's first concert in more than three years, falling short of the 260,000 forecast, Reuters reported . The event came under criticism from some South Koreans for tight security measures enforced on a crowd that mostly failed to materialise. BTS is key to Hybe's revenues, with profit slumping during the band's extended hiatus for mandatory military service from 2022. Hybe owns the band's record label, Big Hit Music, which brought BTS to international fame after the release of their first album in 2013. Its share price hit reflected investor disappointment in the band's return, although the tour is streaming on Netflix in 190 countries, which may help offset some of the in-person attendance declines. The seven-piece group is widely credited as pioneers of the K-pop genre, but the industry has grown increasingly competitive in their absence. Bands like Blackpink, Seventeen and Stray Kids have all taken market share, and Netflix's "Kpop Demon Hunters" movie has proved particularly popular among younger audiences. Its share price decline comes counter to lofty analyst expectations for the stock, based on a "larger than expected" number of tour dates, according to Nomura , which raised its target price on the stock to 410,000 won, or around $276, from 354,000 won back in January. The group is set to perform 79 shows across 23 countries in its first leg of the tour, which started with Seoul on Saturday night. —...

Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images It finally happened: President Trump said the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive” discussions for the past 48 hours. Seeking Alpha He also said, based on those communications, the U.S. has decided to hold off on attacking any of Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure for at least the next 5 days. This announcement came at a very sensitive moment, given that markets are still trying to determine whether this is the start of a broader war or the first sign of a possible de-escalation. Stock futures shot up immediately , and oil prices quickly reversed themselves lower, which suggests the market is beginning to price in a more benign outcome. There is no reason to believe this represents the final resolution. The market has not yet opened, the situation is fluid, and all it takes is one little thing to turn around investor sentiment again. White House In my previous analyses of oil, I identified three potential trading scenarios. It appears the market is currently pricing in the first of them, the so-called " Quick Exit ", a relatively quick de-escalation phase that should allow the geopolitical premium built into crude oil to evaporate and give renewed life to risk assets. The war isn't over; it's just a pause. We are not back to normalcy, but at least from what I can see, the trend is headed in that direction. What’s interesting right now is not just the news. It is determining whether we are starting to experience the beginning of normalization or simply a temporary pause that will last a few days. That is where we need to begin our assessment of oil, equity, and future movements in the markets. Bloomberg Terminal Market Reaction The market reaction was immediate and sharp, a strong indication that investors were pricing in extreme geopolitical risk and that even a hint of diplomatic progress would prompt an extremely quick price adjustment. S&P 500 futures increased by 2.5 percent, while crude oil experie...

TLDR Nvidia posted $215.9 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026, up 65% year over year Nvidia’s Data Center segment alone generated $193.7 billion in revenue AMD reported $34.6 billion in full-year 2025 revenue with a record $16.6 billion from Data Centers Nvidia’s Data Center revenue is more than eleven times larger than AMD’s total data center sales Both companies face headwinds from export controls, with Nvidia excluding China data center revenue from its Q1 2027 outlook 💥 Find the Next KnockoutStock! Get live prices, charts, and KO Scores from KnockoutStocks.com , the data-driven platform ranking every stock by quality and breakout potential. Nvidia and AMD both make chips that power artificial intelligence. But right now, they are not in the same league when it comes to AI infrastructure. Here is what the numbers show. Nvidia’s Numbers Tell the Story Nvidia had a massive fiscal 2026. Revenue hit $215.9 billion, a 65% jump from the year before. Net income came in at roughly $120.1 billion. Gross margin was 71.1%. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA The Data Center segment drove almost all of it, pulling in $193.7 billion. That means about 90% of Nvidia’s revenue now comes from AI infrastructure. The company sells GPUs, networking hardware, and the software systems that customers use to build large AI clusters. That software ecosystem is a key part of Nvidia’s position. It makes it harder for customers to switch to a competitor, even if another chip offers comparable raw performance. Nvidia did flag one risk. The company said it is not counting on data center chip revenue from China in its fiscal first-quarter 2027 outlook, due to ongoing export control restrictions. AMD Is Growing, But the Gap Is Wide AMD posted $34.6 billion in total revenue for 2025. Net income was around $4.3 billion, with a 50% gross margin. Those are solid numbers for most companies. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., AMD The Data Center segment was AMD’s strongest area, reaching a record $16.6 billion, up 32...

Oleksii Liskonih Odds of a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran rose after President Donald Trump said that there is already an agreement. The chances of reaching a deal before 2027 rose to 48% on betting platform Kalshi. Trump said Monday that Iran wants a deal “badly” and that an agreement could come within five days or sooner. His remarks during a Fox Business interview built on his earlier decision to delay any U.S. strikes on Iranian power infrastructure for five days after what he called "very good and productive conversations," helping reinforce a relief move across markets tied to hopes that disruption in the Strait of Hormuz may ease faster than feared. Trump, speaking to reporters, said that Iran has agreed not to have a nuclear weapon. He announced a 15-point agreement with Iran, which includes a jointly controlled Strait of Hormuz. The hope of tensions easing led to a rally on Wall Street, while oil plunged.

Key Points Stock buybacks are relatively rare for Berkshire Hathaway, making the repurchases underway right now all the more telling. Something else Berkshire still isn’t doing is also an important hint for investors. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › There's good news for Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) shareholders who've been growing increasingly frustrated with the company's ever-growing pile of cash. It's finally doing something with it! It's not the something most shareholders were likely expecting. But something is better than nothing. That is, for the first time since May 2024, Berkshire is repurchasing its own stock, making any shares remaining in investors' hands worth at least a little more. It's not a massive buyback, for the record ... at least not yet. All told, the company disclosed the recent repurchase of a little over $200 million worth of its own equity. For perspective, Berkshire's current cash hoard is a little over $370 billion, while the entire organization's market cap right now is just over $1 trillion. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » This initial repurchase isn't the end of the buybacks, though. And new CEO Greg Abel has indicated that future repurchases won't be announced until after they're made, to be disclosed in the company's regular quarterly filings. The message(s) Berkshire is sending investors Even without committing to any specific amount of stock buybacks in the foreseeable future, Abel's decision to make a rarely seen stock repurchase is telling in and of itself. Chief among the takeaways is that it signals Berkshire shares were (and still are) priced below their intrinsic value. To be clear, there's no official or published intrinsic valuation for Berkshire Hathaway's stock, which also reflects the value of dozens ...

Advertisement CPI FIM (BDL:ORCL), a Luxembourg-registered owner of income generating real estate in Poland and the Czech Republic, continues to trade on both the Luxembourg and Warsaw exchanges with a recent closing price of €0.88. The recent 3.53% 1 day share price return and 1.15% 30 day share price return sit against a 12% year to date share price decline. In contrast, the 3 year total shareholder return of 104.65% and 5 year total shareholder return of 193.33% point to a much stronger longer term outcome, suggesting recent momentum has softened compared with earlier years. If CPI FIM has you thinking about where else value and income potential might sit in listed property and infrastructure, it could be worth scanning With shares at €0.88, a value score of 2 and a mixed track record between recent returns and longer term gains, the key question is whether CPI FIM is quietly undervalued or if the market already prices in its future growth. Price-to-Earnings of 12.9x: Is it justified? CPI FIM trades on a P/E of 12.9x, which sits slightly below both the European real estate industry average of 13.1x and a broader peer group average of 17.9x. That positioning suggests the current €0.88 share price reflects a lower earnings multiple than many comparable names. The P/E ratio compares the share price to earnings per share. In other words, it indicates how many years of current earnings the market is paying for today. For a property owner with recurring rental income and income-generating assets, this is a commonly watched yardstick because it links directly to the earnings generated from the portfolio. Here, the story is a mix of strengths and questions. Earnings quality is described as high, recent profit growth has been very large, and net profit margins of 50.3% sit comfortably above last year. Against that, return on equity of 4.1% is flagged as low, and debt is not well covered by operating cash flow, which can justify some caution in how much investors are willin...

Investing.com -- A shake-up inside Microsoft is raising fresh concerns about the company’s AI execution and long-term positioning, according to a new report from Melius Research. Analyst Ben Reitzes wrote in a note Monday that “Copilot reorganization last week doesn’t seem like it was into strength,” arguing it reflects deeper operational and strategic strain. The move shifts Mustafa Suleyman away from Copilot and into “superintelligence” and frontier model development, while Jacob Andreou now leads the unified Copilot team reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella. Reitzes says the changes follow years of “a confusing, fragmented product experience.” Melius Research also highlights escalating tension between Microsoft and OpenAI, writing that the company is “considering suing OpenAI, the most important partner it has ever had.” Reitzes notes that OpenAI “accounts for 45% of the Azure backlog,” yet “the IP sharing with OpenAI doesn’t seem to be making Copilot a winner,” forcing Microsoft to spend more than expected on R&D and to consume more Azure capacity internally. The note questions the bull case that customers will pay more for Copilot, arguing “we don’t think paying extra for AI is ‘a thing’ after years of compounding SaaS price increases.” Reitzes adds that AI “waits for no one” and contends Microsoft’s “upside in Azure is capped as it scrambles to fix Copilot and its own models.” Looking ahead, the firm warns that seat pressure from layoffs and a potential “double-digit” PC market plunge could weigh on major segments. Reitzes believes these risks are “largely ignored” and cut the MSFT price target to $400, adding that Microsoft “could be a source of cash” as investors rotate into emerging AI leaders.
