In this article DDOG MU LRCX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Lam Research Logo Shown On Smartphone With Stock Market Chart Cheng Xin | Getty Images The latest earnings season has eased concerns about a potential artificial intelligence bubble. Increased spending by hyperscalers and other companies has reinforced confidence in the demand for AI infrastructure and software solutions. Investors keen on capitalizing on the AI boom can track recommendations from top Wall Street analysts, who give key insights into a company's ability to capture AI-driven demand despite macro uncertainties and rising competition. Here are three stocks favored by some of Wall Street's top pros, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance. Datadog AI-powered observability and security platform Datadog ( DDOG ) is this week's first pick. In early May, the company impressed investors with its market-beating first-quarter results and robust outlook. Following an investor webinar with Vikram Thaker, the senior director of North American business at global consulting firm Cognizant, Bank of America analyst Koji Ikeda reiterated a buy rating on Datadog stock and raised his price target to $260 from $225. The analyst said that following the webinar, he is more positive on the demand backdrop for "best-of-breed infrastructure software vendors" such as Datadog and JFrog . He believes that these two companies have the ability to surpass Bank of America and the Street's estimates. Ikeda added that the demand for high-quality observability and security platforms like Datadog will increase as enterprises transition to the cloud and AI, making everything more complex. Consequently, he expects the momentum in Datadog's performance to continue. The five-star analyst highlighted that Datadog delivered first-quarter results that were way above estimates. Also, the second-quarter revenue growth outlook of more than 30% reinforced Ikeda's confidence in ...
No 3 seed goes down 7-5, 6-1 to Ukrainian 15th seed Pole becomes latest big-name Roland Garros casualty For such a large proportion of Iga Swiatek’s career, Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros has been her fortress. No matter the résumé of the opponent in front of her, the significance of the occasion or even how badly she might have been feeling on court, she always found a way through. By t...
No 3 seed goes down 7-5, 6-1 to Ukrainian 15th seed Pole becomes latest big-name Roland Garros casualty For such a large proportion of Iga Swiatek’s career, Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros has been her fortress. No matter the résumé of the opponent in front of her, the significance of the occasion or even how badly she might have been feeling on court, she always found a way through. By the time she won her fourth French Open title in five years – her third in succession – the Pole seemed invincible on this court. It has been only two years since the six-time grand slam champion last tasted success in Paris, yet on a mercifully cool Sunday afternoon, it felt as if that version of Swiatek was from an alternate universe as she put together the most difficult performance of her career in Paris. She suffered a miserable 7-5, 6-1 defeat on her 25th birthday to the 15th seed, Marta Kostyuk, ending her run in the fourth round. Continue reading...

sturti/E+ via Getty Images Investment Thesis Industry sources have argued Quanta Services, Inc. ( PWR ), has a competitive edge in the construction industry because of its labor practices. In this article, we review these claims and follow up with a quantitative analysis that supports the argument. That is good news for Quanta, but its high valuation leads me to rate it a Hold. About Quanta Services The company describes itself as “a leading provider of comprehensive infrastructure solutions for the electric and gas utility, power generation, large load center, manufacturing, communications, pipeline, and energy industries in the United States, Canada, Australia, and select other international markets.” In its 10-K for 2025 , it goes on to say, “We provide design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade and repair and maintenance services for infrastructure within each of these industries, including electric power transmission and distribution networks; substation facilities; wind, solar and gas power generation and transmission and battery storage facilities; low voltage electrical, mechanical, plumbing and process infrastructure for large load centers, such as data center, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical and industrial facilities; communications and cable multi-system operator networks; gas utility systems; pipeline transmission systems and facilities; and downstream industrial facilities.” Management adds that its operations are labor intensive and it relies on craft-skilled labor personnel and experienced operators. With that labor intensity comes the potential for gaining a competitive advantage, or moat. The Labor Situation For the past decade and a half, baby boomers have been reaching the age of 65 and retiring. That’s especially the case among those who work at physical jobs, including linemen and others who work for companies like Quanta and its competitors. In its 10-K, Quanta’s management discussed this situation, saying, “Our ...

More Mystery Drone Incidents In EU Skies As Putin Mocks: "The Russians Are Coming!" Flights at Germany's Munich Airport were once again temporarily suspended on Saturday after a drone sighting was reported , eliciting a response from a large number of police and security services personnel. Euronews reviews in the wake of the incident, which ended with the key European hub resuming regular operations after no UAV was found or identified, "Munich Airport closed twice within 24 hours in October following suspected drone sightings." This is the latest in a months-long spate of similar air traffic disruptions due to mysterious reported drone incursions , with European officials frequently voicing suspicions of a Russian sabotage and disruption campaign of EU airspace. Getty Images/Bloomberg But the biggest incident this week happened in Romania, where local officials described that during the Russian military's assault on Ukraine Thursday night, a Russian drone slammed into the residential building in the southeastern city of Galati - resulting in an explosion and a fire that injured two people . The Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministry condemned the "grave and irresponsible escalation from Russia" while further declaring it has issued formal request for more anti-drone defense measures from NATO. "Romania has informed allies and NATO's secretary-general about the circumstances and requested measures to accelerate the transfer of anti-drone capabilities to Romania ," the ministry said. While Romania and other countries which border Ukraine have witnessed 'errant' drones and missiles come across the border before, this was the first time Romania in particular has suffered casualties as a result of a projectile hitting a densely populated city or area. President Putin himself has weighed in, demanding that forensic proof that this was indeed a Russian drone - and not a Ukrainian one - be handed over to the Kremlin for an investigation. He also used the opportunity in Friday ...
