SoundHound AI (SOUN 2.15%) is a popular artificial intelligence (AI) investment pick because it's one of the rare pure-play AI companies investors have access to right now. However, the stock has been crushed over the past year and now sits around 65% down from its all-time high established in late 2024. That sets the stage for an incredible comeback and could make it a top AI play for 2026. But is that feasible? SoundHound AI has the growth to prove it's for real SoundHound AI combines generative AI and audio recognition. There is a massive market for this technology, and it leads to nearly endless possibilities, as long as the consumer is willing to accept interacting with an AI agent rather than a human, even if it's not a face-to-face interaction. So far, SoundHound AI seems to be doing pretty well, with its fourth-quarter revenue growth coming in at 59%. It also signed several big clients in the healthcare, insurance, and financial industries. If SoundHound AI can dominate these sectors and get its product to replace all of the various customer service agents that work in these areas, it could be a huge cost savings for its clients and result in a huge growth opportunity for SoundHound AI.

asbe/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The S&P 500 is currently historically concentrated in the largest companies. In the last ten years, that trend has been a huge tailwind for passive ETF investors, as more of their capital was unwittingly allocated to mega-cap stocks experiencing huge growth. However, with the S&P so heavily concentrated in the top few stocks by market cap, the pendulum may be ready to swing back in the other direction, favoring custom portfolio construction once again. Seeking Alpha’s “Strong Buy” picks provide investors on the platform a tool to identify high-quality stocks. However, in investing, picking the best stocks is only half the battle. In this article, I aim to leverage Seeking Alpha’s quantitative ratings to create a portfolio consisting of great stock picks that is also quantitatively optimized. I use techniques of Markowitz mean-variance optimization, Monte Carlo simulation, and Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage to create an optimal portfolio of “Strong Buy” picks as of March 1st, 2026. Stocks as Behavioral Entities The key insight of modern portfolio theory, as I see it, is that in addition to a stock’s underlying fundamentals, it also has behavioral characteristics. That means that a portfolio can be more than the sum of its parts if it consists of stocks that have complementary behaviors. Similar to how an organization with a myriad of different personality types might function better than one in which every person is a similar type of personality, a portfolio that consists of stocks that have different “personalities” is likely to perform better on a risk-adjusted basis. As Harry Markowitz famously said, “Diversification is the only free lunch in investing.” Most investors assume that buying an S&P 500 index fund is the best way to achieve diversification. But in 2026, that assumption may be losing its validity. Currently, the top 10 names in the S&P 500 dominate the index, with 41% of the combined market capitalization (a record high)...

A "Now Hiring" sign is seen at an AutoZone on Feb. 11, 2026 in Hollywood, Florida. Joe Raedle | Getty Images The 2025 labor market has been generously described as "unstable," with virtually no jobs growth and a slew of headwinds expected to conspire against it. In 2026, though, the buzzword seems to be "stable," even though conditions seem to be largely the same. The picture continues to be of a low-hire, low-fire climate , where companies are both reticent to lay off employees as demand continues to be strong, but also are leery of adding staff amid uncertainty over tariffs, inflation and geopolitics. However, characterizations coming from Federal Reserve officials and market economists have grown at least a bit more optimistic — stressing the stability, if not the robustness, of the labor market. The difference between this year and last? Expectations. A prevailing belief is that with the clampdown on immigration and other factors holding back labor pool growth, a subdued hiring rate is fine — at least for now — and the current pace of job growth is adequate and even expected. "We've actually been getting signs of the U.S. labor market showing some stability," Claudia Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors, said in a recent CNBC interview. Sahm, author of the oft-cited "Sahm Rule" that uses changes in the unemployment rate to forecast recessions, added that there's a need to "be very watchful" as "the fact that the hiring rate is so low does make us vulnerable." "We've actually got some good news as we came into the year in the labor market. But we do need to see the hiring rate pick up," she added. "That has been kind of a mystery, how low hiring is given the fact that the U.S. economy is expanding." watch now VIDEO 3:46 03:46 AI will leverage human capital, not displace it: MetLife’s Drew Matus Money Movers More clues on where the employment picture is headed will come Friday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its monthly nonfarm payrolls repor...

The US has asked Ukraine for help fending off Iranian drone attacks in the Middle East, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday, adding that he had ordered expert support to be given. During Russia’s four-year invasion, Kyiv has developed a range of cheap and effective drone interceptors – aerial craft designed to hit incoming attack drones mid-air – that it says are world-leading. Zelensky on Tuesday offered US allies in the Middle East a swap of some of their air defence missiles in exchange for those interceptors, which he said would better protect them from Iranian drone attacks. Advertisement “We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against ‘shaheds’ in the Middle East region,” Zelensky confirmed on social media on Thursday, referring to the Iranian-designed drones also used by Russia. Ukraine has been facing a near-daily pummelling with such drones, launched from Russia and targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure, including its energy sites. 02:14 Iran conflict spreads to neighbouring countries Iran conflict spreads to neighbouring countries “I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security,” he added.

A weakening employment picture prompted the Federal Open-Market Committee to move policy closer to neutral. However, division among members have grown, with concerns over downside risks to the labor market at odds with views that the economy could still experience upside inflation surprises. While recent reports show inflation plateauing, goods prices appear the most likely source of higher-than-expected inflation, given ongoing tariff pressures and a pending Supreme Court ruling on their legality. Following stronger-than-expected 4.3% GDP growth in third quarter, the economy is projected to see a modest slowdown in fourth quarter. However, this is largely due to the temporary drag from the U.S. government shutdown, with growth normalizing in first quarter 2026. Beyond weighing on activity, the shutdown has complicated the interpretation of economic data as a result of missing inputs and delayed releases. Nevertheless, as the effects dissipate, tax policy remains a potenti...
