Here are the biggest calls on Wall Street on Tuesday: Citigroup initiates Infleqtion at buy Citi said the quantum computer company is "unique." "We are initiating coverage of Infleqtion with a Buy/High Risk rating and $20 TP." Piper Sandler downgrades SAP to neutral from overweight Piper downgraded several software stocks, citing a tough macroeconomy. "Over the last few decades, software has undergone transitions (e.g., mainframe to PC, client- server, on-prem to cloud), but the SaaS [Service as a Software] to AI transition today is happening on a compressed timeline. We are adjusting PTs for certain names in our list to reflect lower multiples ahead of 1Q26 earnings. We are also downgrading three names to Neutral: SAP, MNDY, & ASAN."

The conventional indictment runs like this: blinded by ideology and captured by special interests, the US and Israel have blundered into a region they never understood, sowing instability they neither anticipated nor desired. It is a damning argument. It also happens to be, in one important respect, too generous. The more unsettling possibility, supported by two decades of observable behaviour, is...
The conventional indictment runs like this: blinded by ideology and captured by special interests, the US and Israel have blundered into a region they never understood, sowing instability they neither anticipated nor desired. It is a damning argument. It also happens to be, in one important respect, too generous. The more unsettling possibility, supported by two decades of observable behaviour, is that these policies produce not disorder as a side effect but something far more useful: a conflict...

tigerstrawberry/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Those of you who happen to regularly read my articles know that, although Big Tech is the core of my portfolios, I write about these stocks on a quarterly or half-yearly basis. It is part of my routine: when I check my holdings and their health, I come across Big Tech, too. I recently wrote on Amazon ( AMZN ) at the end of Q1. So, we could say that this is the Q2 article. But, in reality, what triggered me was the 2025 Shareholder Letter that CEO Andrew Jassy recently published. A few weeks ago, I said Amazon was a buy, and, sharing my sum-of-the-parts valuation, I set a target price of $255 . The stock is up almost 19% since the article, and is now close to $240. Although I could not forecast this speed, I thought the upside was rather clear. But just three weeks ago, I was using some numbers that, compared to what we know now, seem obsolete and almost prehistoric. What Has Changed There are three main patches of my previous SOTP valuation that will change: the chips segment, grocery, and Amazon Leo. But before we dive in, let's address the elephant in the room. Amazon's stock started moving down after the company announced $200B in 2026 capex. If some still needed some ambiguity to be eliminated, Jassy's letter was perfect for this job. I am not talking about the $100B OpenAI commitment, which requires Amazon to reinvest back into OpenAI around $50B. What matters more is that we have a monetization timeline, which explains how the 2026 investment cycle will be monetized between 2027 and 2028. It means that in a two-year window, there is a recovery. By the way, when Jassy was the head of AWS, he saw the 2014-2018 cycle and saw the same pattern we are seeing today, as he describes in the letter: front-loaded spending quickly gave way to outsized returns. So, I think Jassy is accountable and has the experience to give us numbers that are accurate. The difference is that the scale is completely different n...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Buy when others are fearful. This is something Warren Buffett has famously said. Of course, this was in reference to quality stocks that are being mis-priced by the market. In the case of the two dividend growth stocks I discuss today, I believe it may be the case. Both have been impacted by global trade uncertainty, high inflation, and a seemingly resilient, but weakening economy. While both are likely to underperform for the remainder of 2026, I think they can see strong returns once we see more economic clarity, likely in the next 12 months. While I'm not necessarily saying to buy these two stocks right now as they are likely to see more volatility, there are worth putting on your radar. In this article, I discuss these two, high growth dividend stocks, their fundamentals, and why they both could see massive upside potential in the not too distant future. Market Uncertainty Although we are seeing a lot of uncertainty right now, at the time of writing President Trump has suspended his previous deadline of attacking Iran for 2 weeks , hoping the two sides can come to an agreement. While stocks jumped as a result, I believe we will see more market volatility. A lot can change in the next 8 months, but it seems like the S&P ( SP500 ) could be headed for less than stellar returns. While some stocks will still perform well, the two companies I discuss are also likely to see muted returns. One, due to their sectors and two, because of inflation headwinds. But this could be viewed as a long-term buying opportunity. Especially, if you love growing dividends with upside potential like I do. Without further ado, let's get into these two stocks. #1 T-Mobile US ( TMUS ) In recent years, T-Mobile has established themselves as a force in the telecom space, significantly outperforming peers AT&T ( T ) and Verizon ( VZ ) in the past decade. They've even managed to outperform the S&P, up 417% compared to 218%. Seeking Alpha But...

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images After the failure to reach a deal in the first round of talks between Iran and the U.S. that took place in Islamabad over the weekend, the U.S. has announced that it will be restricting movement through the Strait of Hormuz . Here is an excerpt from the original announcement : ...the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen... I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits.. . The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade... Although it's been unconfirmed by Tehran, President Trump announced that the announcement of the blockade was working and that Iran “wants to make a deal.” It's unclear currently what that means in terms of timeline or if Tehran will budge on the dealbreakers that killed this weekend's negotiations. According to Washington, that point is nuclear enrichment. Oil whipsawed on the news, jumping up ~7% by market open and then selling off half of its gains after the President made his second announcement. Stocks gained across the board on the news. The China Pressure My key takeaway from this exchange is that there is likely another party engaged in this negotiation through the back door: the People's Republic of China. They are the primary recipient of Iranian oil, as well as much of the Hormuzian oil flowing from Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. I expect Iran to be deeply motivated b...
