onurdongel/iStock via Getty Images Last week I was at the MoneyShow in Las Vegas, where I had the pleasure of presenting and joining a panel on artificial intelligence ( AI ) and data centers. It’s always energizing to see familiar faces and meet with investors, but what really struck me was the sheer unanimity of the conversation surrounding AI. Every speaker, every panel, every hallway huddle pointed to the idea that the technology is no longer a speculative play. Instead, the consensus was that AI represents the next great capital expenditure supercycle. It’s going to reshape every industry it touches, and the companies supplying the picks and shovels—chips, cybersecurity, defense tech—are at the center of it. The Pentagon’s Friday-Night Ultimatum By now you’ve likely seen the news that the Department of War ( DOW ) issued a Friday-evening ultimatum to Anthropic, maker of the Claude AI chatbot, demanding unrestricted military access to its technology. When Anthropic pushed back —citing its policies against mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons—the Pentagon took its first steps to label the company a “supply chain risk,” a designation typically reserved for adversarial foreign entities like Huawei. On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered all government agencies to “IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology,” he wrote on social media. It’s gripping drama, and as investors, I understand the instinct might be to worry. But I’d urge you to look past the noise and ask yourself: What does it tell us that the government is willing to invoke wartime production powers to gain access to a chatbot company? The answer, of course, is that demand for AI in defense and national security has reached a level I don’t think most investors have fully priced in. AI-First Warfighting Force While the media was focused on the Pentagon-Anthropic standoff, a series of less dramatic, but far more consequential, developments were quietly unfolding. In January, S...

Key Points Nvidia continues to blow expectations away. Microsoft stock has rarely been this cheap on an earnings basis in recent years. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Wall Street analysts publish their one-year price targets for the companies that they cover, and retail investors can use that information to source ideas for stocks that have unusually high upside potential. Normally, the larger a company becomes, the harder it is for that company to grow at a rapid percentage rate, so finding stocks in the trillion-dollar-plus market cap range with big upside isn't common. However, according to the consensus among analysts, two megacaps do have huge upside in the near term: Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). According to Yahoo! Finance, Nvidia and Microsoft have average one-year price targets of $256 and $596, respectively. From their closing prices on Monday, those targets indicate about a 40% upside for the chipmaker and a 50% upside for the diversified tech giant. With the long-term annualized average return of the market hovering around 10%, that suggests that these two stocks are no-brainer buys. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Nvidia continues to post incredible results Nvidia is the horse that just keeps on running. Although many investors are growing fatigued by the constant barrage of news about high levels of AI spending, Nvidia shareholders aren't. The graphics processor unit leader reaps a large share of the benefits from all the money being spent by AI hyperscalers, and is growing rapidly as a result. In its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 25, its revenue rose an impressive 72% year over year. That's a growth rate that software companies with under a $1 billion in quarterly revenue would be thrilled with, yet Nvidia is doing it a...

以色列国防军发言人德夫林在3日的新闻发布会上表示，自对伊朗的军事行动开始以来，以色列国防军空军已向伊朗投掷了4000多枚炸弹，超过了2025年6月以伊两国之间为期12天的军事冲突期间使用的炸弹数量。以色列国防军3日称，自当前冲突开始以来，以色列已摧毁了300个伊朗导弹发射装置。 以军称，作为进攻行动的一部分，空军将继续对伊朗的弹道导弹阵列和防空系统发动持续不断的打击。以军表示，以色列国防军空军战斗机和无人机一直在对伊朗的导弹发射器和弹道导弹库进行“有系统的、全天候的搜寻”，以降低伊朗对以色列的袭击频率。（央视） 风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何意见、观点或结论是否符合其特定状况。据此投资，责任自负。

太子集團在台洗錢案 北檢起訴陳志等62人、13間公司 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】太子集團在台洗錢案，台北地檢署正式起訴包括集團創辦人陳志在內共62人以及13間公司。 台北地檢署按照洗錢防制法、組織犯罪防治條例等罪起訴，正在台灣被羈押的9名被告被移送到台北地方法院。有關方面是在去年底開始偵辦太子集團在台洗錢案，至今扣查集團名下價值超過55億元新台幣、不動產和汽車等，其中24輛名車已被拍賣，總額超過4億元新台幣。 陳志早前在柬埔寨落網，已被遣送大陸。

Bohdan Bevz/iStock via Getty Images Here we have another prime example of a company at the core of the AI data center buildout that is down double-digits after beating earnings and guiding above the Street's consensus. I'm talking about Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd ( CRDO ), which I previously rated as a Buy given its strong near-term growth. Fiscal Q3 revenue came in at $407 million, up 200% year over year and far above both the original $335–$345 million guide and even the company’s revised $404–$408 million range. That said, the bear case (from a fundamentals perspective, not the broader rotation out of tech) hasn’t faded away. Overall, I'm still concerned with the industry’s migration toward optical interconnects, which may pressure the top line of the company as soon as next year. The ZeroFlap Optics ramp moved up to Q1 FY27, and the company already has four customers signed. Is this going to be enough to compensate for the industry shift away from copper interconnects? The Street thinks the answer to that question is no. That said, it wouldn't be the first time the Street is wrong with its revenue models. A prime example is the chart below, which represents the Street's revenue expectations for Credo in the last year. KoyFin Notice how many times the Street had to move its estimates upward after the company guided strong top-line figures. However, I said it before , and I say it again. Blowing out earnings results and guiding above expectations is not enough today. In fact, I argue that there is very little that tech companies can do today to impress investors (on the upside, of course). I am still bullish on Credo, considering a timeframe of approximately 9-12 months. That said, in the near term, things could get ugly before they get better. I discuss below why. Why a Blowout Quarter (and Guidance) Isn’t Enough These Days Credo reported $407M in Q3 revenue, up 200% YoY and 52% sequentially. To put that figure into context, I considered plotting the reve...

It was a new-look England as Wiegman is managing the return of several key players from injury, while rewarding those in form. Manchester City's Laura Blindkilde Brown was handed a rare start, while London City Lionesses defender Poppy Pattinson made her debut in the second half. The back four in the starting XI had fewer than 100 caps combined - with captain Leah Williamson earning 65 of them - as Maya Le Tissier was at right-back over Lucy Bronze, while Taylor Hinds started her third game in four matches at left-back. In-form Jess Park was playing out wide, as she has done for Manchester United so impressively this season, rather than in midfield where Wiegman has often used her. It was uncharacteristically experimental from Wiegman considering this was their first competitive fixture since Euro 2025 and it took time to take shape. England had 40 touches in the opposition box and 85% of the possession in the first half, but failed to score from their 15 efforts on goal. The tempo had dropped, Ukraine were defending well and England's hopes of flying out of the blocks had not materialised. "They didn't quite figure it out in the first half. They were a little bit stunned about what to do," ex-England midfielder Fran Kirby told BBC Radio 5 Live Extra. "Ukraine defended really well. They were really tight between the lines and they made it very difficult for England. "They needed to have a little bit more composure in the box instead of crossing it for the sake of crossing it. "The second half showed that they learned from the first half in terms of what wasn't working." With a side stacked full of quality, the two-time European champions responded in the second half. Arsenal striker Alessia Russo netted two goals in four minutes to put England in control, before a double from Georgia Stanway took them out of Ukraine's reach. Wiegman's "clear win" was confirmed when Park also scored twice later on. "I think it took us the first half to break them down. We were still ...

格隆汇3月4日｜德国总理默茨：欧盟不会接受条件差于以往的美国贸易协议。

QUALCOMM (QCOM) built its reputation over the years supplying the chips and connectivity that power modern devices. As artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G reshaped the tech landscape, Qualcomm stood at the center of that shift, benefiting from demand for faster, smarter, and more efficient computing. Yet 2026 has been far less forgiving. Semiconductor stocks have gone through a broad correction, and QCOM has not been spared. The stock is down 19.2% this year, wiping out much of last year’s progress and drifting back toward levels seen several years ago. Weak Q2 guidance in early February, linked to memory shortages and slower smartphone production, added fresh doubts. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and a wider tech sell-off have pressured valuations and crushed the stock’s earlier uptrend. With sentiment fragile and the chart showing clear strain, is this a buy-the-dip opportunity for investors, or a warning sign to remain patient? About QUALCOMM Stock San Diego, California-based QUALCOMM is a fabless semiconductor company with a market cap of $150.5 billion. It shines through its Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT), Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL), and Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segments, blending chip innovation with technology licensing and strategic investments. Known for its Snapdragon processors and 5G modems, Qualcomm powers smartphones, smart homes, and connected vehicles. With four decades of expertise, it is expanding intelligent computing through AI, energy-efficient performance, advanced wireless solutions, and its Dragonwing platforms for enterprise and industrial markets. QCOM has had a rough stretch. The stock trades nearly 37.8% below its 52-week high of $205.95, reached last October. Over the past year, shares have slipped about 10%. The pressure has intensified more recently, with the stock down 21% in the last three months. In the first week of January, QCOM was trading above $180. Today, it sits just slightly below $140, essen...

Key Points Alibaba’s high-growth days are over, but its e-commerce and cloud businesses are still expanding. Intuitive Machines could evolve into a “one-stop shop” for space logistics services. 10 stocks we like better than Intuitive Machines › It might seem like a risky time to buy more stocks. The S&P 500 looks historically expensive at nearly 30 times earnings, and the intensifying geopolitical conflicts could drive investors from stocks toward more conservative investments. Yet if you can look past those near-term headwinds and plan to hold your stocks for at least a few more years, there are still plenty of bargains that deserve your attention. I believe two of those stocks -- Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) -- could easily turn a modest $1,000 investment into a lot more money. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Alibaba Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce and cloud infrastructure company, still trades more than 50% below its all-time high from October 2020. Three significant challenges caused that decline. First, China's antitrust regulators fined Alibaba a record amount in 2021. They barred its Chinese marketplaces (Taobao and Tmall) from locking merchants into exclusive deals, using aggressive loss-leading promotions, and expanding through unapproved investments. Those restrictions eroded its defenses against its competitors. Second, the pandemic curbed consumer spending and drove its enterprise customers to rein in their cloud spending. Lastly, the trade conflicts between the U.S. and China drove many U.S. investors away from Chinese equities. Yet Alibaba isn't down for the count. It's expanding its overseas marketplaces (including Lazada in Southeast Asia, Trendyol in Turkey, Daraz in South Asia, and AliExpress for cross-border purchases), as well a...
