Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In my opinion, Okta Inc. ( OKTA ) is heading toward becoming a potential foundational security standard for today's software/machines era. Currently, Okta is transitioning from human-centric access identity management toward management of digital agents and non-human identities. What makes Okta interesting to me is that it remains one of the few independent identity providers in a market controlled by end-to-end platform companies. While Microsoft remains a formidable floor for basic identity needs, I believe Okta's Universal Directory acts as the centralized identity system for user and device profiles. Despite the strong outlook, in my view, the current share price lacks the necessary margin of safety to protect any investor against increasing cybersecurity risks and intense pressure from platform rivals. Neutrality Moat in a Multi-Cloud World Okta's core strength is based on its vendor-agnostic aggregator model, which manages access across 20000+ organizations. Unlike Microsoft Entra ID, which is usually bundled with the Microsoft 365 suite , Okta allows enterprises to adopt their tech stack without ecosystem lock-in. I believe Okta's Integration Network (OIN) serves as a critical hub for security, featuring 7000 pre-built integrations. In my view, the scale of these integrations creates meaningful switching costs and ecosystem advantages and a barrier to entry for new competitors. As of January 31, 2026, more than 20,000 customers across nearly every industry used our solutions to secure and manage identities around the world. These customers consist of leading global organizations ranging from the largest enterprises to small- and medium-sized businesses, universities, nonprofits and government agencies. We partner with a broad range of application, IT infrastructure and security vendors through our Okta Integration Network. As of January 31, 2026, we had over 7,000 integrations with these cloud, mobile and w...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! After spending the best part of 30 years letting their own fans down, Everton chose Sunday afternoon to disappoint fans of almost every other Premier League team. David Moyes had one big chance to end a season that promised so much but ultimately fizzled out into nothingness on a high! Instead, while Leeds were holding up their end of the quid pro quo by letting West Ham steamroller them in east London, the scouse spoilsports couldn’t even manage a shot on target at Tottenham until the ninth minute of added time. Indeed, even if Tyrique George’s late drive hadn’t been saved by redemption’s Antonin Kinsky, it wouldn’t have counted for anything, because João Palhinha had already given Spurs a one-goal lead. And that was that . Spurs are safe and, after Hearts not winning the Scottish Premiership and Arsenal not bottling the title race, it was further evidence to suggest that many people with skin in the beautiful game are simply not allowed to have nice things.

Shares of Micron Technology climbed to a record intraday high on Tuesday after UBS issued a dramatically higher price target, with the bank contending that the rise of AI has fundamentally altered how the company deserves to be valued. UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri raised his price target to $1,625 from $535 — a Street-high figure that implies roughly 116% upside from Friday's close, according to CNBC. Early trading saw the shares jump over 10%, a move that marked Micron's 30th intraday record of the year. Should the stock reach that level, Micron's total market value would swell to an estimated $1.8 trillion — enough to place it seventh on the list of largest U.S. companies, trailing only Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Broadcom, while surpassing Tesla, Meta, and Berkshire Hathaway, according to Yahoo Finance. Central to the call is a shift in how Micron signs deals with customers. Arcuri noted that newer long-term agreements, typically lasting three to five years, now include fixed volume commitments and a partially fixed pricing structure — a departure from prior contracts that were based purely on volume, according to CNBC. According to Arcuri, the arrangements benefit Micron by evening out its earnings and revenue trajectory while giving investors clearer insight into how much demand customers have already committed to. For years, Wall Street priced Micron as a company at the mercy of volatile DRAM and NAND memory cycles, buying during troughs and selling during peaks. Arcuri argued that AI is breaking that pattern by providing the company with more predictable demand. "The market will start to put a more 'normal' multiple on the stock and MU will continue to re-rate higher," he said, according to CNBC. UBS kept its buy rating in place, a stance broadly shared across Wall Street — LSEG data cited by CNBC shows that 43 of the 46 analysts who cover Micron carry a buy or strong buy recommendation. The stock has gained 704% over the past year. The move...

00:04 Speaker A Sizzling runs for memory chip stocks like Micron and SanDisk have set ablaze a new ETF designed to profit more broadly from the favorable industry dynamics, the Roundhill Memory ETF. The first ever pure play memory chip ETF officially debuted and began trading on April 2nd. Top holdings of the ETF are a who's who of momentum stocks for 2026: SK Hynix, Micron, Samsung Electronics and of course, SanDisk. The ETF has only known up and to the right on the charts. It's up about 85% since its debut, topping a record $10 billion in assets over 30 trading days, points out the Kobe Yesa Letter. The fund is now the fastest growing ETF in history. Tom Brooke and Inez are here. Um, and Inez, I want to come over to you because we've seen a lot of different bubbles in our time here, Yahoo Finance, cannabis, you name it, but there are reasons behind the memory stock rally and chi- and mostly because of the supply ja- supply demand dynamics. I mean, we are requiring more chips and these companies can't make them. But at what point does this momentum just stop because we know the story already. 00:54 Inez Right. And the street is saying that you are going to see these memory supply crunches into 2027, uh, and perhaps beyond that because of AI inference, gigantic AI. Um, I think that what's been interesting is some commentary that was said by Jonathan Ross who was the founder of Grok who that was uh acquired by Nvidia. And he said in a conference earlier this month that when you have something like memory that is becomes so expensive, eventually engineers uh, work around that. So if something becomes too expensive, too scarce, then you have a solution that that that is that comes a- after that. And so what he was basically saying is, don't make it so scarce or expensive that you're going to have the industry uh work around this uh memory issue. He was saying build more memory fabs basically. But I thought that that was some interesting commentary from somebody very mu...

Uh, and I think I hope we have a picture of this thing. Uh, which was very blue in the mock of what they released. It's very smooth and it feels like very un Ferrari and I don't think people are a huge fans of this thing. 00:23 Speaker B No, I mean, if you look at the reaction online, I mean, journalists have been kind of like trying to be fair about this. I wrote about design departure, a surprising, 00:31 Speaker C Yeah, 00:32 Speaker B surprising sort of 00:34 Speaker C diplomatic. 00:35 Speaker B look for this car that's so unlike any Ferrari I've ever seen, right? The reaction online has been quite negative in terms of just shock and and just awe like what is going on here. But I think if we talk about the car, it's meant who's it targeting? It's not targeting the current Ferrari owner. and I think that's the big thing that they want to talk about is we're approaching a new owner, we're approaching, maybe it's uh people in Asia, China, it's younger people with more tech forward people. That's what they're looking for, but I mean it's such a weird looking car. 00:54 Speaker A All right, so we kind of now know what the reaction is to the car, 640 grand. Um again, it feel so Jony 01:00 Speaker A Ive's firm was involved in the design exterior and interior. It feels in a lot of ways. I saw people making this comment like this is what the Apple car would have been if Apple had gone on ahead with it. But I guess you got to see the car and talk to the company in a vacuum before there'd been a public reaction to it. 01:11 Speaker C So you saw it in person? 01:12 Speaker B No, no, not 01:13 Speaker A But like, but like you saw a picture.

May 26 (Reuters) - Shares of Micron Technology climbed about 14.2% in early trading on Tuesday after brokerage UBS sharply raised its target price for the stock citing stronger AI demand and long-term supply deals, taking the chipmaker closer to $1 trillion in market value. The revised target - the highest among the 46 brokerages covering the stock - implies a potential valuation of close to $1.8 trillion for the company by the next twelve months, compared with a market capitalizationof $846.93 billion as of close on Friday. • UBS raised the price target more than threefold to $1,625 from the earlier $535, compared with the stock's Friday close of $751. • The brokerage said the emergence of long-term agreements across the industry, locking in volumes and partially fixing prices could stabilize Micron's historically volatile earnings profile. • These deals are expected to cover a growing portion of DRAM supply, providing greater demand visibility and reducing pricing swings, according to the brokerage. • There was "no reason" Micron should trade much differently from Nvidia on a price-to-earnings basis as long-term agreements and AI-driven demand reshape the company's earnings and visibility,UBS said. • The brokerage added that hyperscalers are increasingly willing to trade pricing flexibility for long-term supply assurance, a shift that underpins the contracts and helps stabilize the sector. • As a result, UBS expects Micron to command a higher valuation multiple, moving closer to other semiconductor peers as investors gain confidence in its longer-term earnings durability. • Micron was trading at 8.42 times expected earnings over the next 12 months, compared with 21.1 for the benchmark S&P 500 index and 24.66 for the Nasdaq 100.
