Shares of Microsoft (MSFT 0.64%) have been slammed so far in 2026. As of this writing, the stock is down about 19% year to date -- a decline far worse than the S&P 500's 3% pullback.

Shares of Microsoft (MSFT 0.64%) have been slammed so far in 2026. As of this writing, the stock is down about 19% year to date -- a decline far worse than the S&P 500's 3% pullback. This sell-off comes even as the company continues to post impressive top- and bottom-line growth. So why did shares fall? The answer likely comes down to the staggering cost of the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race and the risks this race introduces. Even though Microsoft's top line is compounding at an enviable rate, the massive investments required to support this growth are elevating the company's cost structure. Accelerating AI demand Microsoft's second-quarter results for fiscal 2026 showed a business firing on all cylinders. Total revenue in the period came in at $81.3 billion. And the company's profitability was particularly impressive. Microsoft's non-GAAP (adjusted) net income jumped 23% year over year to $30.9 billion. Highlighting the software giant's underlying momentum, its Microsoft Cloud segment was a key driver for the business. "Microsoft Cloud surpassed $50 billion in revenue for the first time, up 26% year-over-year, reflecting the strength of our platform and accelerating demand," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explained in the company's second-quarter earnings call. The company is seeing rapid adoption of its AI-powered software tools, too. Microsoft 365 Copilot -- the company's generative AI -- saw paid seats hit 15 million during the quarter. This was up more than 160% year over year. In addition, paid subscribers for GitHub Copilot reached 4.7 million, climbing 75% year over year. And Microsoft's overall business momentum should continue. Management guided for third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $80.65 billion to $81.75 billion. The midpoint of this range implies a strong year-over-year growth rate of about 16%. The high cost of AI But looking under the hood, things become more concerning. The AI build-out is incredibly expensive. While the company is generati...

Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Intro We last wrote on Hello Group Inc. ( MOMO ) in December of last year when we stood pat on our 'Hold' rating in the Beijing-based operator. To recap, MOMO operates in the mobile-based social and entertainment space through various segments, where its traditional MOMO app remains the largest by revenue stream for the company. As noted in December, management's pitch is to convince investors that this company's future is oriented around the softening (and eventual leveling out) of the company's MOMO app, coupled with searing growth in international markets. We pointed out at the time that management is banking on the success (outside the mainland Chinese market) of the likes of the company's Soulchill, Amar, and Yaahlan offerings to ultimately convince investors that this company's turnaround is for real. However, poor growth numbers in the company's Q3 earnings release last December essentially rubberstamped our 'Hold' rating at the time. Remember, although management continues to promote the cash-cow nature of the MOMO domestic app (even in a declining market), declining growth means fewer resources being available to mirror something like the success 'Soulchill' has achieved in recent times, all things remaining equal. Suffice it to say, the 10% drop in domestic revenue in Q3 (irrespective of overseas growth), coupled with margin pressure, led us to believe that lower lows were in store for the stock. With shares trading at approximately $6.69 in our December post Q3 commentary, shares kept making lower lows until March of this year, dropping below $6 a share in the process. Improved Profitability In Q4 In saying the above, the company's impressive Q4 and full-year release (3/18/2025) has the capacity to finally put a floor in this stock, in our view. We state this because operating margins performed significantly better in Q4 (11.92%) compared to the same period of 12 months prior. Furthermore, the fact that new tax...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Intel (INTC, Financials) is trading at the highest forward valuation among major semiconductor companies, highlighting how far investor expectations have stretched in the AI-driven rally. The business leads chip stocks with a future price-to-earnings ratio of 91, ahead of Silicon Laboratories and Ambarella. Most firms in the larger category get D or F value rankings. That indicates that future expectations influence semiconductor trade more than present fundamentals. Investors believe artificial intelligence demand will grow, raising profitability to justify these high multiples. That narrative currently centers on Micron Technology (MU, Financials). The memory chipmaker's earnings are likely to reveal if AI-related demand is driving sales and profitability expansion. If Micron has another solid quarter, sector values may be justified. If results or projections fail, it may raise doubts about how much AI confidence is priced in. Next up for the group is Micron's earnings release and, more significantly, its AI infrastructure demand projection.

NUC-7738 Demonstrates Clinical Activity and Favorable Safety in Patients with PD-1 Inhibitor-Resistant Melanoma Final Data from Phase 2 Expansion Study of NUC-7738 Expected in 2026 Advancing Additional Indications and Combination Strategies Cash Runway Expected to Extend into 2029 EDINBURGH, United Kingdom, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuCana plc (NASDAQ: NCNA) (“NuCana” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and provided an update on its clinical development program with its two lead anti-cancer medicines. “We are excited to enter 2026 with significant momentum as we continue to advance the development of our ProTide pipeline with the aim to deliver significantly improved treatment outcomes for patients with cancer,” said Hugh S. Griffith, NuCana’s Chief Executive Officer. “In late 2025, we presented compelling data from our Phase 2 NuTide:701 study at the annual European Society for Medical Oncology Immuno-Oncology Congress, evaluating NUC-7738 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with PD-1 inhibitor-resistant metastatic melanoma. These data demonstrated a favorable safety profile and evidence of clinical activity, including two partial responses, one of which was confirmed, and multiple cases of stable disease, including one patient whose disease converted to a complete metabolic response with no detectable active disease.” Mr. Griffith continued, “We expect to complete enrollment in the Phase 2 NuTide:701 expansion study in the first half of 2026, with final data expected later this year. We also plan to obtain regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding a potential registrational pathway for NUC-7738 in melanoma. In parallel, we are evaluating additional indications and combination strategies to further explore the therapeutic potential of NUC-7738.” Mr. Griffith concluded, “Earlier this year we appointed Theresa Bruce as our Chief Operating Officer....

Leading artificial intelligence firms need to convince an increasingly skeptical public that AI can be a force for good. But first… Three things to know: • Musk’s xAI is hiring credit experts, bankers to teach Grok finance • OpenAI to acquire startup Astral , expanding push into coding • Fluidstack drops out of marquee €10 billion AI project in France Finding a new AI messenger Over the years, AI leaders have suggested that advances in artificial intelligence may eventually help students learn better, accelerate scientific progress and potentially cure cancer, among other feats. Increasingly, however, that messaging appears to be falling on deaf ears. “AI is not very popular in the US right now,” OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman told a room full of politicians, executives and financiers at a recent conference in Washington DC. “Data centers are getting blamed for electricity price hikes . Almost every company that does layoffs is blaming AI, whether or not it really is about AI.” Though more people are using AI than ever, many are also expressing negative sentiment about it in surveys, particularly in the US. A recent NBC News poll found 57% of Americans believe the risks of AI outweigh its benefits. That’s in line with a Gallup poll from mid-2025 showing half of those in the US were more concerned than excited about AI, up from 31% in 2021. (In China, trust in AI appears to be significantly higher.) Silicon Valley has faced backlash before, including concerns about the mental health risks from overusing smartphones and social media. Yet, the deteriorating public opinion about AI has been particularly stark. There has been growing community pushback to large data centers that strain power grids and water supplies ; a litany of lawsuits alleging people experience chatbot-induced delusions and psychosis; and various viral dystopian blog posts and proclamations about mass white-collar layoffs fueled by AI. “The industry is having a really hard time seeing this...

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Reynolds Consumer Products Inc (Symbol: REYN) presently has an excellent rank, in the top 25% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making Reynolds Consumer Products Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Thursday, shares of REYN entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $20.695 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Reynolds Consumer Products Inc, the RSI reading has hit 29.8 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 42.3. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, REYN's recent annualized dividend of 0.92/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 4.39% based upon the recent $20.955 share price. A bullish investor could look at REYN's 29.8 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on REYN is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue. Click here to find out what 9 ...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alphabet (GOOGL, Financials) is stepping deeper into government AI work, taking advantage of a recent setback involving rival Anthropic and the U.S. Department of Defense. According to sources, Google swiftly strengthened its position when Anthropic and the Pentagon disagreed on military AI deployment. At that time, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian pitched a wider range of AI technologies to senior Pentagon officials. The efforts seem to be paying off. The Pentagon considered Anthropic a supply chain risk and pursued other alliances, including OpenAI. Google also extended its Gemini for Government initiative, which lets military personnel design AI-powered solutions for non-classified activities. The firm reported over one million users of its AI systems across different U.S. military services. This magnitude shows Google is not simply experimenting, but becoming a major role in government AI infrastructure. The move also shows how competitive AI is, especially for huge, long-term national security contracts. Government adoption may give Google with a strategic cash source beyond advertising. Google's ability to turn these new partnerships into long-term defense contracts and scale its AI products in government organizations will be the next spark.

Three years after saying it had stopped buying location data of Americans without a warrant, the FBI acknowledged it has restarted the purchases. During questioning at a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel said the location data purchases have produced valuable information, and he did not commit to stopping the practice. In March 2023, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed that the agency had previously bought location data of US citizens without obtaining a warrant. "To my knowledge, we do not currently purchase commercial database information that includes location data derived from Internet advertising,” Wray, who led the agency during Trump's first term and during the Biden era, said at the time. “I understand that we previously—as in the past—purchased some such information for a specific national security pilot project. But that’s not been active for some time.” At yesterday's hearing , Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) recounted Wray's 2023 statement and asked Patel, "Is that the case still and, if so, can you commit this morning to not buying Americans' location data?" Read full article Comments
