Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a phenomenal investment over the past few years.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a phenomenal investment over the past few years. And even though some investors think the company's shares are overdue for a steep, sustained correction, the tech leader's march forward is likely to continue over the medium term. Recently, Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, gave even more reasons -- in the neighborhood of one trillion -- to be bullish on Nvidia's prospects. Here's why investors can still safely add this stock to their portfolios. Image source: Getty Images. First, let's start with Nvidia's most recent quarterly report, for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026, ending on Jan. 25. The company's revenue for the year was $215.9 billion, up 65% year over year. The company's data center segment continues to be the star of the show. Can it maintain its momentum? Apparently so. At a recent conference, Huang said Nvidia expects about $1 trillion in purchase orders for its Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips through 2027. Continue reading

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images 2026 has been the year of rather indiscriminate selling in the stock market. Investors have latched onto negative macro headlines, ranging from skyrocketing oil prices and the escalating war in Iran, to a weak consumer economy and the possibility for AI disruption. While we can hardly say that the economy and corporate earnings are on strong footing, we also think the selloff in many stocks has gone too far: and created tremendous buying opportunities in several names. Best Buy ( BBY ), the largest pure-play electronics retailer in the U.S., has been dealing with weak comp sales all across last year; that said, the company has maintained market share as the industry declined. The stock, however, is in bear market territory after plunging ~25% from peaks above $84 notched last October, and since January alone the stock has given up a further ~10%. Data by YCharts I last wrote a neutral article on Best Buy in November, when the stock was still trading at $80 per share. Since then, the massive erosion in Best Buy's share price, plus the company's recent dividend increase, have substantially increased Best Buy's appeal for me as an income strategy. While I think that we should certainly keep an eye on weakening recent sales trends, I'm not hesitating to use this juncture as a buy-the-dip opportunity. I'm raising my rating on Best Buy to buy. Even on flat sales, Best Buy can support its raised dividend Let's first kick off the discussion with the most attractive piece of Best Buy's narrative today: its dividend yield. Alongside its Q4 earnings print, Best Buy announced a 1% increase in its dividend to $0.96 per share. On an annualized basis, this is $3.84, which at Best Buy's current share prices near $64 translates to a dividend yield of 6.0%. Best Buy dividend (Best Buy Q4 earnings release) Best Buy has always been an attractive income play; now, with yields pushing 6% (a huge premium over falling Treasury yields), this stoc...

Created in Italy and made with elderflower liqueur, the cocktail is sweeter than Aperol spritz and lower in alcohol Pub gardens and bar terraces have been awash with a sea of orange in recent years as Italy’s love of Aperol spritz spread to the UK. But this year the cocktail’s cousin, a Hugo spritz, will be the drink of the summer, according to supermarkets and bars. It is already being served across the country, including at Sea Containers on the banks of the Thames and Mayfair’s swanky Claridge’s hotel in London, 20 Stories bar in Manchester and the Bridge Tavern in Newcastle. Wetherspoons has the cocktail on its menu nationwide. 40ml St‑Germain elderflower liqueur. 60ml prosecco. 60ml sparkling water. 8-10 mint leaves. Lime wedge for garnish. Mint sprig for garnish.
