Brett_Hondow/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Eaton ( ETN ) is increasingly emerging as a critical beneficiary of the artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, according to BNP Paribas senior equity research analyst Andrew Buscaglia. Following investor meetings across Europe, the firm said in a March 24 research note that it has higher conviction in Eaton ( ETN ) as a 2026 top pick, citing what it views as a continued underappreciation of the company’s role in enabling AI-driven power demand. Buscaglia emphasized that power availability remains a key bottleneck in the expansion of AI data centers. Eaton’s ( ETN ) portfolio of electrical components and systems positions it as a central supplier in addressing that constraint, providing infrastructure necessary to support accelerating compute demand. Data Center Exposure Provides Visibility BNP Paribas highlighted Eaton’s ( ETN ) growing exposure to data centers as a key driver of forward visibility. Approximately one-third of the company’s Electrical Americas backlog, estimated at roughly $15 billion for 2025, is tied to data center demand. The firm noted that customer engagement is increasing, with improved insight into long-term buildout plans. The transition toward 800-volt systems is also expected to be favorable for Eaton ( ETN ), as management believes it will increase content per installation while maintaining strong pricing dynamics. Margin Expansion Expected As Headwinds Ease While Eaton’s ( ETN ) Electrical Americas segment has faced margin pressure from capacity expansion, BNP Paribas expects those headwinds to subside. The firm forecasts segment margins exceeding 31.5% by the end of 2026, with a path to more than 32% over the longer term. This outlook addresses investor concerns regarding margin sustainability and supports the broader thesis of improving profitability as recent investments begin to normalize.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Khaveen Jey, CFA, FMVA, Portfolio Manager @ Khaveen Investments & Nicholas Tan, Investment Research Analyst @ Khaveen Investments In our previous analysis of Lam Research ( LRCX ), we determined that the company had a strong market positioning in the etch market, due to its early mover advantage, which had contributed towards long-standing customer relationships. We further expected the company to sustain a strong presence in the etch market, supported by its developments in its core etch products, such as Akara , in early 2025. Since our last coverage, its stock price has surpassed our previous price target of $127.53 (22/10/2025) and is currently trading at $244.25 (24/02/2026), which is almost double our previous target price. We also found that its H1 2025 revenue growth (24.87%) was much higher than our 2025F projections (8.45%). In this analysis, we thus analyze why revenue grew much higher than our forecasts, and whether the company could sustain its revenue growth. We first evaluate the reasons that our projections were not in line. We then analyze whether China could sustain its revenue growth, as the region accounts for the largest portion of its revenues and has the 2 nd highest geographic growth. We then evaluate whether the transition to Gate-All-Around ( GAA ) could provide market growth opportunities, as management indicated that the transition to GAA “equates to roughly $1 billion in incremental Lam SAM for every 100,000 wafer starts per month of capacity”. Higher-Than-Expected Growth We first analyze the reasons that our previous projections were not in line. We thus compile their revenue breakdown by end market and our previous projections to evaluate this further.

Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) recently introduced a bill to limit the Defense Department's ability to use AI for mass surveillance of Americans.

Saksit Sangtong The rise of artificial intelligence has created the most significant catalyst the cybersecurity industry has experienced in two decades, according to Wedbush. The financial firm finds industry stalwarts such as CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), Palo Alto Networks ( PANW ), Zscaler ( ZS ), Check Point ( CHKP ), and Rubrik ( RBRK ) stand out as the most likely winners of the AI windfall over the coming years. "We note that today we estimate cyber security represents roughly 5% of IT budgets and will likely be doubling over the next few years to 10% as protecting the tidal wave of agents, AI use cases, and broader technology push poses massive risks to many organizations we spoke with on the floor," said Wedbush analysts following their discussions at the RSA Conference this week in San Francisco. "In essence, AI makes cyber security even a higher priority but, importantly, will attach this technology to many strategic AI deployments, which will translate into hundreds of billions of dollars incrementally coming into the industry over the coming years." AI startups OpenAI ( OPENAI ) and Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) have released their own cybersecurity agents recently, such as Codex Security and Claude Code Security , respectively. However, Wedbush does not believe these types of developments will diminish the need for cybersecurity vendors. "The increased use of AI has dramatically lowered the cost, skill, and time required to execute sophisticated attacks while massively elevating their scale/precision," Wedbush added. "AI agents and autonomous workflows dramatically increase the attack surface further, with more APIs, more machine identities, more lateral movement risk, and more cloud-native workloads creating entirely new vectors that legacy point solutions were never designed to address. Critically, AI does not reduce the need for endpoint, identity, cloud, and SOC automation; it multiplies it as more enterprises deploy LLM-powered agents….cyber becomes the enforcemen...

Supreme Court Limits ISPs' Liability For Online Piracy The Supreme Court on Tuesday sharply curtailed when internet service providers can be held liable for copyright infringement committed by their subscribers , handing a major victory to broadband companies and dealing a setback to Sony Music Entertainment and other major labels seeking to combat online piracy. In a 7-2 decision (with Justices Sotomayor and Jackson concurring only in the judgment), the justices ruled that Cox Communications Inc. cannot be held liable for the actions of customers who illegally downloaded and shared songs using its network , even after the company received more than 163,000 infringement notices from copyright holders. The ruling reverses a $1 billion jury verdict against the Atlanta-based cable and internet giant and clarifies long-standing uncertainties about secondary liability under U.S. copyright law. The case stemmed from a 2018 lawsuit in which the labels accused Cox of willful contributory and vicarious infringement for failing to terminate repeat offenders. A federal jury in Virginia sided with the labels on both theories and awarded $1 billion in statutory damages. The Fourth Circuit upheld the contributory-liability finding but tossed the vicarious-liability verdict, leading to the Supreme Court appeal on the contributory issue alone. Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas said a service provider is liable for a user’s infringement only if it intended its service to be used for that purpose. “The provider of a service is contributorily liable for a user’s infringement only if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement, which can be shown only if the party induced the infringement or the provided service is tailored to that infringement,” he wrote. Such intent exists only when the provider actively induces infringement - such as by marketing a product as a tool for piracy - or offers a service that is “not capable of ‘substantial’ or ‘commerci...
