Thanks to their extremely low management fees, Vanguard's exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are consistently on the radars of investors keen on maximizing the returns on their investments -- and not losing money to fund managers. But which Vanguard ETFs represent compelling options for investors looking to invest $1,000 and keep their positions indefinitely? Fortunately, the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VOOG), Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEMKT: VIG), and Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: MGK) all represent great opportunities that will appeal to a variety of interests.

Sign Up For Free » A market-beating ETF that provides growth investors with AI exposure... and more Even if you follow the market superficially, you know that artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have been all the rage. It's unsurprising, therefore, that the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF has outpaced the S&P 500's 13.9% gain over the past year, climbing 17.2%. The ETF is composed of growth stocks in the S&P 500, and the top seven holdings are all "Magnificent Seven" stocks -- all of which provide AI exposure in their own ways. Semiconductor stalwart Nvidia represents the largest position with an 11.1% weighting, while Apple and Microsoft round out the top three positions with weightings of 6.2% and 6%, respectively. With 209 holdings, there are also many stocks not focused on AI, so if AI enthusiasm tapers off, there are plenty of other stocks that can pick up the reins and drive the ETF higher. Financials stocks, for example, figure prominently in the fund with a 12.4% weighting. Visa, MasterCard, and JPMorgan Chase are among the top 13 positions. The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF has a 0.07% expense ratio and it makes distributions on a quarterly basis.

Robinhood has a ton of potential for its business to get much bigger in the future, and investors are valuing it as a top growth stock. Robinhood Markets (HOOD 1.75%) has been a scorching-hot stock to own in recent years. Since 2022, the stock has risen by more than 500%, dwarfing the S&P 500 index and its returns of just 46% over the same time frame. The company has become a top option for retail investors to add to their portfolios, and with tremendous growth prospects, it's little wonder why. However, with Robinhood's inflated valuation, some investors have been cashing out recently and thinking twice about the stock due to its high price. And in just the past three months, the stock has fallen by around 23%. It's now down 30% from its 52-week high of $153.86. Should you buy the dip? Robinhood has been growing at an impressive pace What's special about Robinhood's business is the growth it has been achieving, which can make paying a high premium for the stock justifiable. In its most recent quarter (which ended on Sept. 30, 2025), the company doubled its sales, as its growth rate has been accelerating. Not only has the company been achieving strong revenue growth, but its profits more than tripled in the most recent period, rising from $150 million to $556 million year over year. With strong growth and improving margins, the business is on an encouraging path forward, particularly as it expands its prediction markets business and looks to draw in even more customers in the future. The big question is simply whether it's too highly valued right now.

puhimec/iStock via Getty Images Amphenol Corporation ( APH ) had been defying those, myself included, who said that the stock was simply too expensive. In September, I argued that "AI upside was already priced in" for Amphenol. And in October, I reiterated my caution, noting that while Q3 earnings were tremendous, shares were overvalued . Regardless, APH stock continued rocketing higher up into this latest earnings report . Investors were willing to assign ever-higher multiples to the stock thanks to the seemingly unlimited demand for the company's electronics gear as it comes to producing data centers and AI-related infrastructure. However, it appears, valuation many finally be reasserting itself. As a Seeking Alpha news headline put it: Amphenol crashes despite strong Q4 results, guidance. And that's a fair summary. Despite a solid earnings beat and decent enough guidance, shares are trading down approximately 10% on Wednesday: Data by YCharts Let's walk through the earnings release and why the market may have reacted as it has. Q4 Earnings: Another Excellent Report Amphenol reported solid beats on both the top and bottom lines. Its Q4 GAAP earnings came in at 93 cents, skyrocketing from the 59 cents reported in the same period of the prior year. Meanwhile, adjusted earnings of 97 cents per share were up a stunning 76% year-over-year. It's worth noting that those adjusted earnings per share of 97 cents topped expectations by a fairly modest three-cent margin. Throughout 2025, Amphenol had been announcing EPS figures that came in way above consensus. Q4, while still a solid beat, didn't blow out the consensus numbers, and that is perhaps indicative as to why the market reaction has been so negative. It's hard to knock anything in terms of the company's execution, though. Margins remain robust while at the same time Amphenol is growing the top line at extraordinary speed. Management also deserves a ton of credit for being able to complete the Trexon acquisition in N...

Jan 28 (Reuters) - Microsoft delivered a marginal beat on quarterly revenue expectations for its crucial cloud-computing business on Wednesday, amplifying investor doubts ​about the payoff from its hefty artificial intelligence spending and highlighting ‌growing competition in the industry. The company's shares plunged more than 7% in extended trading. The company said ‌revenue at its Azure cloud division grew 39% in the October-December period, its fiscal second quarter. That compares with a consensus estimate of 38.8%, according to Visible Alpha. Total revenue rose 17% to $81.3 billion in the second quarter, while analysts expected $80.27 billion, ⁠based on estimates compiled ‌by LSEG. The Windows maker has long enjoyed a first-mover advantage in Big Tech's AI race thanks to its early bet ‍on OpenAI, whose technology powers most of its offerings, including M365 Copilot. But a strong reception for Google's latest Gemini model and the launch of autonomous agents, such as Anthropic's ​Claude Cowork, have posed risks both to Microsoft's AI business and the ‌software offerings that have long been central to the company. That has weighed on Microsoft's stock as investor doubts persist over whether Big Tech will deliver enough returns to make up for the AI spending. Collectively, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon are expected to spend more than $500 billion on AI this year. Some ⁠analysts have said that mounting losses at OpenAI, ​in which Microsoft has a 27% stake, ​could drive up expenses as the company books its share of those losses. Late October's major OpenAI restructuring gave Microsoft that stake. And ‍while the overhaul ⁠included a commitment from OpenAI to buy $250 billion of Azure services, it also freed the ChatGPT creator to pursue cloud deals with other ⁠companies that could lower its reliance on Microsoft. OpenAI has agreed to a $38 billion cloud deal with ‌Amazon Web Services since then. (Reporting by Deborah Sophia and Aditya ‌Soni in Bengaluru; Editi...

Intel's Stock Soars as Client Rumors Swirl: Could Nvidia and Apple Deals Be on the Way? Yahoo Finance

Key Takeaways Intel shares soared Wednesday, amid a broader rally for chip and AI-exposed stocks. Nvidia and Apple are planning to shift some 2028 chip production to Intel, DigiTimes reported Wednesday, adding to fuel to earlier rumors they could become clients. Could Intel be closer to winning new chipmaking contracts from Nvidia and Apple? On a day when chip stocks were rising broadly, helped by strong orders and a rosy outlook from semiconductor-equipment maker ASML (ASML), Intel (INTC) shares were among the biggest gainers. The stock jumped 11% Wednesday as a report suggested the struggling chipmaker could be set to win some new clients for its manufacturing business. Nvidia (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL) are planning to shift some 2028 chip production to Intel, while still maintaining their relationships with current supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM), according to a report from Taiwan-based DigiTimes. Intel declined to remark on the report. TSMC, Apple, and Nvidia did not respond to Investopedia's requests for comment in time for publication. Why This Is Significant Chipmaking deals with Nvidia and Apple would represent a major step forward for Intel, which has struggled to win new customers for its manufacturing business, and could boost confidence in its stock. During Intel's earnings call last week, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the company has been engaging a few prospective customers that are in the process of evaluating its manufacturing processes, according to a transcript provided by AlphaSense. It's unclear whether they included Apple and Nvidia. The report from DigiTimes, which has added fuel to earlier rumors that Nvidia and Apple are considering new contracts with Intel, nodded to U.S. manufacturing mandates and tariff pressures as forces in Intel's favor. Some Wall Street analysts have also previously suggested a deal with Intel could be seen as a way to win some political goodwill, after President Donald Trump brokered a deal last year that saw...

Available for over a year What does Donald Trump actually mean when he says his administration plans to “de-escalate a little” in Minneapolis? On Tuesday Democratic Rep Ihan Omar was attacked at a local event in the city and protests are continuing following Saturday’s shooting of US citizen Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents. Video evidence contradicts claims by Trump administration officials immediately after Pretti’s killing that he was a “domestic terrorist”, planning a “massacre” and “brandishing” a weapon. In this episode, Sarah, Anthony and Marianna discuss the president’s controversial response to the attack on Democrat Ihan Omar, and whether Trump can actually de-escalate tensions when thousands of ICE agents remain in Minnesota.

SpaceX has made a new set of demands on state governments that would ensure Starlink receives federal grant money even when residents don't purchase Starlink broadband service. SpaceX said it will provide "all necessary equipment" to receive broadband "at no cost to subscribers requesting service," which will apparently eliminate the up-front hardware fee for Starlink equipment. But SpaceX isn't promising lower-than-usual monthly prices to consumers in those subsidized areas. SpaceX pledged to make broadband available for $80 or less a month, plus taxes and fees, to people with low incomes in the subsidized areas. For comparison, the normal Starlink residential prices advertised on its website range from $50 to $120 a month. SpaceX's demands would also guarantee that it gets paid by the government even if it doesn't reserve "large portions" of Starlink network capacity for homes in the areas that are supposed to receive government-subsidized Internet service. Moreover, SpaceX would not be responsible for ensuring that Starlink equipment is installed correctly at each customer location. Read full article Comments
