U.S. stock markets continue their northbound journey in 2026 after the astonishing bull run of the last three years. Likewise, Wall Street’s popular adage “Sell in May and Go Away” is not matching this year. With just two days of trading left, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — are all in positive territory in May. Similarly, mid-cap-centric S&P 400 and small-cap benchmarks — the Russell 2000 and the S&P 600 — are also in green. May’s performance was primarily attributable to the solid performance of the technology sector, specifically the rejuvenated artificial intelligence (AI) trade. Month to date, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has advanced 7.2%. The Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK), one of the 11 broad sectors of the S&P 500 Index, has surged 15.6%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) jumped 20.9%. At this stage, we recommend five AI bigwigs that have provided lucrative returns year to date. Despite this, their current top Zacks Rank indicates attractive price upside potential in the short term. The stocks are: Ciena Corp. CIEN, Lumentum Holdings Inc. LITE, Teradyne Inc. TER, Microchip Technology Inc. MCHP and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN. Each of our picks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) rose about 1% after Morgan Stanley said the software giant may still be in the early stages of monetizing its massive artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, even as Azure revenue growth continues to accelerate. Morgan Stanley estimated Microsoft's AI-related data center footprint could expand from roughly five gigawatts in fiscal 2024 to nearly 20 gigawatts by fiscal 2028. The firm said Microsoft appears to be adding AI capacity ahead of current demand, positioning the company for stronger long-term cloud and AI revenue growth. Microsoft also said its AI business surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate, up 123% year over year. Chief Executive Satya Nadella said demand for AI infrastructure and enterprise AI applications continues to outpace available capacity. For the fiscal fourth quarter, Microsoft expects total revenue between $86.7 billion and $87.8 billion. The company guided for Azure revenue growth of 39% to 40% in constant currency, while capital expenditures are projected to exceed $40 billion as Microsoft accelerates AI infrastructure investments. Valuation remains a major discussion point for investors. Microsoft trades at roughly 33 times forward earnings, above its long-term average, as Wall Street continues to price in sustained AI-driven growth across cloud, productivity software, and enterprise applications.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images News New York lawmakers approved a new tax targeting high-value second homes in New York City, handing Mayor Zohran Mamdani a political victory as he searches for new revenue to support an expansive affordability platform and close budget gaps. The so-called pied-à-terre tax, included in the state budget approved Wednesday, targets secondary residences in New York City valued at $5 million or more and is projected by state officials to generate as much as $500 million a year after taking effect on July 1. The term “pied-à-terre” comes from French and literally translates to “foot on the ground,” a reference to a part-time residence maintained by someone whose primary home is elsewhere. The New York tax is expected to affect roughly 10,000 properties, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office. Owners of luxury condominiums and investment properties could face sizable annual tax increases, with liabilities potentially reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars for the most expensive homes. Hochul, who had previously resisted broader tax increases on corporations and high-income residents, backed the measure as part of negotiations with Mamdani, the city’s newly elected democratic socialist mayor. Her administration framed the policy as a way to collect more revenue from wealthy individuals who maintain expensive residences in Manhattan but live elsewhere full time. Mamdani has promoted the tax as part of a broader effort to make the city more affordable, though the expected revenue represents only a fraction of the city’s financial challenges. Earlier this month, he said the city was confronting a projected $5.4 billion deficit but argued that spending cuts, additional state support and new tax revenue would help stabilize finances. The mayor campaigned on proposals that included fare-free buses and municipally operated grocery stores, programs that would require substantially more funding than the new tax is expected to provide. The measure al...

Johnson & Johnson’s JNJ stock has risen 11.8% so far this year. One of the biggest drivers of the increase was J&J’s robust first-quarter 2026 results, as it beat estimates for both earnings and sales. The company also marginally raised its sales and earnings guidance for the year. Investors seem to be increasingly confident that the drug giant can navigate its Stelara patent cliff while still delivering steady earnings growth, supported by strong growth of oncology drugs and newer medicines, resilient MedTech demand and improving long-term growth prospects. Let’s understand the company’s strengths and weaknesses to better analyze how to play J&J stock amid the price increase. JNJ’s Innovative Medicine Showing Consistent Growth J&J’s Innovative Medicine unit is showing a growth trend. The segment’s sales rose 5.6% on an organic basis in the first quarter of 2026 despite Stelara’s loss of exclusivity (LOE). Growth was driven by J&J’s key drugs like Darzalex, Erleada and Tremfya. New drugs like Carvykti, Tecvayli, Talvey, Rybrevant and Spravato also contributed significantly to growth. The segment has recorded four consecutive quarters of sales of more than $15 billion despite the LOE of Stelara. In 2026, J&J expects accelerated growth in the Innovative Medicine segment despite Stelara LOE. The growth is expected to be driven by its key products such as Darzalex, Tremfya, Spravato, Carvykti and Erleada, as well as increased contribution from new launches like Icotyde, Rybrevant and Inlexzo. J&J’s Recent Significant Pipeline Progress In 2025, J&J invested more than $32 billion in R&D and M&A, including the acquisitions of Intra-Cellular Therapies and Halda Therapeutics. J&J also rapidly advanced its pipeline in the past year, attaining significant clinical and regulatory milestones that will help drive growth through the back half of the decade. In the past year, it has gained approval for new products like Inlexzoh/TAR-200, a first-of-its-kind drug-releasing system, f...

5月22日,英国Sky News报道,京东正在评估以约20亿英镑(约合人民币182.8亿元)收购英国线上零售平台The Very Group。消息一出,瞬间引爆市场,这是京东第三次将目光聚焦于英国零售资产。 然而短短五天后,剧情迎来急转。5月27日,有接近京东的人士向媒体透露称:“公司没有竞购The Very Group的计划”。从外媒热炒到内部否认,这桩收购传闻可谓“瞬息万变”。 但是,毕竟目前京东官方并未下场给出正式说明,结合该公司此前在欧洲的多次布局,我们有必要来捋一捋京东的欧洲棋局,到底在下什么注? 01、京东的欧洲战略:十年磨一剑,从试水到“本地再造” 京东的“ 出海 ”,不是一时兴起,而是一场跨越十余年的漫长跋涉。 早在2014年,京东就和当时国内的实力派企业一样,开始谋划“走出去”,占领海外的各大重要市场。除却在东南亚市场尝试以合资模式落地印尼、泰国等海外电商平台,京东2015年在欧洲上线Joybuy,开展B2C运营模式。2019年,京东宣布将海外业务作为未来三到五年的战略重点;在2020年的内部信中,刘强东更是一度宣布“在海外再造一个京东”,国际化将是京东2020年的“必赢之战”。 然而不尽人意的是, “必胜之战”很快变成了“持久战”。 扎根欧洲的Joybuy主打中国商品直发,但物流慢、体验差,2021年底便已关停,转型为跨境B2B交易和服务平台,并改名为“京东全球贸”。与此同时,京东在东南亚的多个本地电商平台面对Shopee、Lazada、Tokopedia、Bukalapak等玩家强势竞争,因流量获取难题未解,加之频繁的人事更迭、本土化不足等原因,最终于2023年悉数关闭。 即便“走出去”业务屡遭挫折,但是京东并没有放弃海外业务的布局,尤其是欧洲地区。2022年,京东重整旗鼓,在荷兰推出全渠道零售品牌Ochama,以“食品+3C+母婴”验证“本地采、本地卖”模型,虽该品牌的线下门店在不久后相继关闭,京东依然将其转型成为纯线上平台,以自动化仓库向包括英国在内的25个欧洲国家配送食品与非食品商品,并依托广泛的自提点网络运营。 京东在海外的频频受挫,其实也一定程度给于自身不断试错的机会,且潜移默化间形成了一条清晰的“出海”逻辑线:传统的中外跨境电商模式难走通,必须在海外当地做本地化。 带着这样的认知,京东不再走“中国直发”的轻资产模式,而是拾起了自己最...

Tariffs have been a hot-button topic for both businesses and consumers over the last year.

Tariffs have been a hot-button topic for both businesses and consumers over the last year. Now that tariff refunds are starting to roll out for importers, some investors are concerned that the U.S. could end up paying more for the refunds than it collects in tariff revenue -- potentially complicating economic growth. Regardless of how the tariff situation unfolds, confusion and uncertainty aren't generally great for investor optimism. Here's what history says about what might be coming next. Is a recession coming in 2026? Nobody can say exactly what the market or economy will do in the coming months, especially when new government policies could change that trajectory on a dime. That said, even if the U.S. does enter a recession in the coming year or so, history has promising news for investors. Over the past century, the stock market has faced severe recessions, bear markets, crashes, and corrections, yet it's thrived despite them all. The past two decades have been particularly volatile for the market, with major indexes experiencing multiple record-breaking downturns. Despite all the turbulence, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.02%) has delivered total returns of more than 760% over the past 20 years. Historically, most downturns have also been shorter than many investors expect. In fact, the average S&P 500 bear market since 1929 has lasted only around nine months, research from Bespoke Investment Group found. While there will always be outliers, generally speaking, bull markets have historically lasted far longer than bear markets. What investors can do right now If history shows us anything, it's that staying invested through all the market's rough patches is key. The market can be incredibly unpredictable, and trying to time your sell-off perfectly can be risky -- especially with factors like tariffs, inflation, and wars complicating the market's future. No matter what's on the horizon, investing in strong stocks and holding them for at least a few years is one of the b...

Key Points Kevin Warsh begins his tenure as chair of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors with questions about the broader economy and potential agency reforms. While Warsh has argued for interest rate cuts based on AI productivity gains, AI has arguably been pushing yields higher lately. The Iran war has certainly contributed to higher yields, but it's not the only factor, according to one macroeconomic strategist. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › In a Wall Street Journal op-ed last November scrutinizing the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh said artificial intelligence (AI) would be a "significant disinflationary force." Many experts took this to mean that Warsh was suggesting the benefits of AI could pave a path for the Fed to further cut interest rates. A lot has happened since then -- including Warsh's installation as the Fed's new chairman. But right now, AI is having the opposite effect and is likely contributing to elevated inflation. 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 » In fact, it could be the very thing that forces the Fed to raise interest rates later this year. Significant AI capex may be driving yields higher Many have assumed that the Iran war has led to the recent significant rise in bond yields. There's no doubt that it could be a significant contributor. Conflict in the Middle East has driven oil and gas prices higher. While energy is stripped out of core inflation, it tends to have a trickle-down effect on all aspects of the economy. Although many strategists and investors are banking on a clearer agreement between the U.S. and Iran, it still seems too soon to suggest that such an agreement, if made, will definitely hold up. Furthermore, oil and gas prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels. But even if the agreement does hold, some expe...

"It Wasn't Copied": Ferrari CEO Defends First EV After Design Backlash Ferrari shares trading in Milan have not recovered since plunging the most in nearly eight months after the company unveiled its first EV sports car earlier this week, breaking with eight decades of petrol-powered tradition. The debut drew immense criticism, with one Wall Street analyst calling the new EV a " mix between a Honda Accord EV and Tesla ." By Thursday, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna was on damage-control duty at an event in Modena, where he defended the design of the battery-powered, four-door, five-seat Luce, which costs a staggering €550,000 ($638,660), according to Bloomberg . "The Ferrari Luce has nothing to do with electric cars you have seen from other players," Vigna said earlier today. "You have to see it and drive it to understand that it wasn't copied — not the interiors, not the exterior, not the performance." Pope Leo was shown Ferrari’s first fully $640,000 electric car in Rome on Tuesday. The pope sat inside the Ferrari Luce and was presented with the vehicle’s steering wheel by Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna. pic.twitter.com/mIxAniwULm — CBS News (@CBSNews) May 27, 2026 Vigna said, "Look at the people writing to us, the people placing orders. Some are existing clients and others are new." "Maybe some people understood that Ferrari was going only electric. We will continue to make all types of powertrains," he added. Vigna noted, "The final answer comes from clients." Customers have already shunned Ferrari hybrid models, as a recent report by Goldman analyst Christian Frenes noted that these hybrid sports cars are depreciating far faster than their petrol-powered counterparts, suggesting buyers still prefer V-8 and V-12 combustion engines. Earlier this week, AIR Capital analyst Pierre-Olivier Essig said the Luce looks like a " mix between a Honda Accord EV and a Tesla ." Frenes noted today that Luce's negative reaction was "overblown" ... He explained: We view the strong marke...

In Q2, insiders are showing confidence in several key stocks across the entertainment, payments, and apparel industries.

However, the stock has experienced some weakness lately, down about 5% in 2026. The stock is also down almost 15% from its all-time high reached in early March. This recent decline may be why insiders are stepping in. In Q2 2026, MarketBeat has tracked approximately $4.5 million worth of buying at TKO among three separate insiders. This is notable, considering that the stock had seen no insider buys since Q2 2025. To be fair, insider selling in Q2 isn’t much lower at around $3.66 million. However, these sales came under predetermined 10b5-1 plans, limiting their bearishness. Overall, TKO’s recent insider moves are a positive indicator going forward. These insider purchases also mesh with TKO’s buyback rhetoric. The company recently added $1 billion in buyback capacity and believes that there is a “dislocation in our stock price relative to its intrinsic value."

Serena Williams is in discussions about a potential return to competitive tennis at Queen's Club next month. Four years after the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion waved goodbye to the sport in New York, Williams is considering playing doubles at the WTA 500 event in London in two weeks' time. Nothing has yet been finalised, but the 44-year-old has been free to return to the sport since 22 February, having completed six months back in the drug testing pool. The American great would need a wildcard, but there are two available for the grass court event which begins on Monday, 8 June. Wimbledon - where Williams has won seven singles and seven doubles titles - begins three weeks later. The Served podcast, hosted by former men's world number one Andy Roddick, claimed Williams would play with 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko at Queen's. BBC Sport has not yet been able to confirm this. Williams is one of the greatest players of all time. Her 23 Grand Slam singles titles are the most by a woman in the Open era and second-highest of all-time behind Margaret Court. She also won 14 major women's doubles titles with sister Venus - who is still playing on the WTA Tour - and the pair won three Olympic golds in the discipline.
