Fritz Jorgensen/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Although I am a shareholder of Meta Platforms, Inc. ( META ) and bullish about Meta Platforms over the long run, I rated the stock as a “Hold” in my last article , which was published at the beginning of February 2026. In the conclusion, I explained why I was a bit cautious in the short-to-mid-term: Meta Platforms remains a great business and has the potential to continue growing at a high pace in the years to come. Nevertheless, the company remains very dependent on advertising, and we should not rule out lower growth rates for several quarters, as companies might reduce the amount spent on advertising (for example, during a recession). Meta Platforms is trying to diversify its business, but it will take a long time before subscriptions or other forms of revenue will contribute a meaningful part to the top line. In my opinion, Meta Platforms is a long-term “Hold.” Since my last article was published, the stock declined almost 9% and clearly underperformed the broader market (the S&P 500 increased about 4.5%). Meta is clearly in a corrective pattern right now, which is not surprising following the run from below $90 in late 2022 to almost $800 in the summer of 2025. In the following article, I will argue why Meta Platforms is a solid investment at this point. I will show why Meta Platforms is at least fairly valued again, but I will also show how Meta’s efforts to diversify its business away from advertising are progressing so far. Quarterly Results On April 29, 2026, Meta Platforms reported first quarter results for fiscal 2026 and the company did beat analysts’ expectations for earnings per share as well as revenue once again (it was the 13 th double beat in a row). Revenue increased from $42,314 million in Q1/25 to $56,311 million in Q1/26 – resulting in 33.1% year-over-year growth. Income from operations increased 30.3% from $17,555 million in the same quarter last year to $22,872 million in this quarter. Finally...

cookelma Semiconductor stocks surged to fresh highs as booming AI-driven chip demand fueled what TS Lombard described as a "semiconductor hypercycle" in its May Strategy Chartbook. The firm’s “Chart of the Month” highlighted a sharp acceleration in both global semiconductor sales and Taiwan export orders, underscoring the scale of the ongoing hardware rally. TS Lombard said semiconductor stocks had significantly outperformed software companies as advances in artificial intelligence increasingly challenged the traditional software-as-a-service, or SaaS, model. According to the report, global semiconductor sales growth climbed to nearly 80% year-over-year, while Taiwan export orders surged more than 66%, reflecting continued strength in AI infrastructure spending and hardware demand. The note also pointed to rising AI adoption rates across businesses as a major driver of the trend. A chart tracking paid subscriptions to AI models, platforms, and tools showed adoption steadily increasing among both large enterprises and smaller firms. TS Lombard said the divergence between hardware and software stocks had widened as investors increasingly favored chipmakers and semiconductor equipment firms over software companies exposed to disruption from generative AI tools. The report added that the macro backdrop continued to support semiconductor demand despite broader geopolitical and energy-market volatility tied to the Iran conflict. Taiwan and South Korea, while exposed to higher energy costs as oil importers, were being supported by surging chip exports and AI-related demand. The growing dominance of AI infrastructure spending has become one of the defining market themes of 2026, with investors continuing to rotate into semiconductor-linked stocks as global chip demand accelerated.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is still growing, but the bigger story is whether Robotaxi, FSD, energy, and AI can turn into real, high-margin revenue streams.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has played a central role in driving the stock market rally over the past few years. That's not surprising, as the massive investments in data center infrastructure and the deployment of AI software by enterprises have been driving up revenue and earnings growth for companies across several industries. The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF , an AI-focused exchange-traded fund that invests in companies benefiting from deploying AI in their products and services and selling related hardware, has soared by 145% over the past three years. That's well above the 85% appreciation in the S&P 500 index over the same period. AI stocks can continue to outperform the broader market, as companies in this sector continue to report stunning growth quarter after quarter. In fact, there are a few AI stocks that have the potential to even double this year. Let's look at two such names. Continue reading

Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision via Getty Images It has already been five and a half months since my previous coverage of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation ( VAC ). It has delivered 43% returns, which justifies my buy or bullish rating before. And now, I believe that it already had a good run, although resilient travel demand may still support further upside. Valuation now suggests caution, while dividends say it's for keeps. Technicals adhere to it due to recent selling pressures. VAC Q1 2021: Strength Sustained But Mounting Cost Pressures Have Increased Travel demand has been resilient in the past year despite concerns about the revenge travel end. Yet, the hype has continued due to various factors supporting travel spending. However, the mounting impact of stubborn inflation is already manifesting in the operations of hotels and resorts. Even an established timeshare name like Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation is experiencing this. We can see this in its most recent performance. In Q1 2026, its operating revenue amounted to $1.26B, up by 4.8% YoY from $1.20B. This was a notable improvement from my previous coverage considering the 3.2% YoY decrease. If you look at its revenue per segment, sale of vacation ownership products decreased YoY. This should not be surprising considering the lower contract sales. The number of tours also decreased. I think we can point this to stubborn inflation during the quarter and the impact of the geopolitical tension in the Middle East. It has no properties there, but it has exposure because of its sales offices in big cities like Dubai to invite customers and travelers from the region. The tension may have disrupted the operations in the region. Another factor is that tours became more expensive due to higher fuel prices. On a lighter note, its VPG or volume per guest recovered. This means that it made more sales in every visit or tour. This showed the productivity of VAC. Because of lower tour counts, it had to make th...
