Nvidia (NVDA +1.68%) is the hands-down leader in artificial intelligence (AI) processors, but rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +5.82%) has struck some high-profile deals lately that have piqued investor interest. With Nvidia predicting annual AI infrastructure spending of up to $4 trillion by 2030, investors may be wondering which company will grab the biggest piece of the pie over the coming years. While AMD's shares have nearly doubled over the past 12 months, compared to Nvidia's 54% gains, there are a couple of reasons why Nvidia remains the better long-term AI stock. AMD is accelerating, but its shares are expensive AMD just scored a major deal with Meta Platforms to supply up to 6 gigawatts of AI data center processing. It's a big win for AMD, not just because it's constantly playing second fiddle to Nvidia in data center deals, but also because the deal is worth more than $100 billion. Meta has the potential to take up to a 10% stake in AMD through the deal, and investors viewed all the details as good news, pushing AMD stock up when the deal was announced. AMD recently reported impressive 2025 results, with revenue rising 34% for the year to $34.6 billion and diluted earnings per share soaring $165% to $2.65 per share. Management said that the company is "entering 2026 with strong momentum across our business" and issued revenue guidance for the first quarter of $9.8 billion, a 32% increase, at the midpoint.

AMD shares have a trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 101. That's pricey by most comparisons, even in the high-flying tech sector, which has an average P/E ratio of 41. ...

The Philippines’ inflation rate rose for the third month in a row, putting the economy in a delicate position ahead of the expected surge in prices of goods in the wake of the war in Iran. Consumer prices increased 2.4% in February from a year ago, the Philippine Statistics Authority said on Thursday. That matched the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey and compares with the 2% recorded in January. Price pressures would narrow the space for further monetary easing at a time when economic momentum remains weak. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas , which aims to keep inflation within the 2%-4% range, has reduced its key rate by 225 basis points so far and signaled it could be nearing the end of the easing cycle that began in August 2024. Inflation is expected to accelerate anew in coming months as the Iran war deepens, risking a sustained disruption in global oil supply. The Philippines, which relies heavily on fuel and food imports, is widely seen by economists as one of the most vulnerable in the region to inflation and growth risks spurred by the conflict. Read More: Iran War Oil Shock Threatens to Unleash Wave of Global Inflation These concerns have already driven the Philippine peso lower, which could further broaden imported inflation and limit the central bank’s ability to reduce borrowing costs. The latest policy rate cut in February came after the nation’s economic growth slowed to 3% in October-December, the weakest pace in 14 years outside of the pandemic. BSP Governor Eli Remolona last month said monetary policy “cannot do much more” to support economic growth at this point.

Earnings Call Insights: Alto Ingredients (ALTO) Q4 2025 Management View Bryon McGregor, CEO, stated that the fourth quarter marked a pivotal milestone in the company’s strategic realignment, noting: "Earnings for the fourth quarter were $21 million, a $63 million improvement compared to the fourth quarter of 2024." He emphasized tactical decisions including staffing adjustments, cost savings, plant efficiency investments, and a focus on high-margin opportunities. The acquisition of Carbonic was highlighted as improving profitability and diversification: "Alto Carbonic also contributed positively to the profitability in our Western segment for both the fourth quarter and for all of 2025." McGregor explained that the company qualified for approximately 90 million gallons of annual production for 45Z credits at its Columbia and Pekin Dry Mill facilities, leading to $7.5 million in 45Z credit earnings for 2025. He added: "For 2026, with the removal of the indirect land use change or ILUC, from the GREET model, we expect to qualify for $0.20 per gallon at our Columbia and Pekin Dry Mill facilities and to generate approximately $15 million in net proceeds." The decision to halt active marketing of the Columbia facility was attributed to improved profitability, with continued evaluation of options for the Magic Valley facility, including a potential restart to capture 45Z credits and CO2 monetization. CFO Robert Olander noted: "Net sales were $232 million, $4 million lower than in the prior year. This reflects a reduction in volumes sold of 10.6 million gallons, primarily due to our decision to idle our Magic Valley facility at the end of 2024." Olander detailed a significant swing to positive gross profit, driven by higher crush margins, improved export sales, cost reductions, and a $1.4 million contribution from Alto Carbonic. Olander added that the company received its maximum insurance payment of $10 million related to damage at the Pekin dock, with proceeds to fund re...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: March 03, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Avanti Feeds Ltd (BOM:512573) reported a year-on-year growth of 39% in gross income for the shrimp processing and export division in Q3 FY26. The company achieved a significant increase in profit before tax for the shrimp processing division, rising from 18 crores in Q3 FY25 to 52 crores in Q3 FY26. The pet food segment showed promising growth, with sales increasing from INR 95.08 lakhs in Q2 FY26 to INR 136.2 lakhs in Q3 FY26. The company is expanding its market presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and has initiated e-commerce operations on platforms like Super Tail and Amazon. Avanti Feeds Ltd (BOM:512573) is optimistic about the impact of reduced tariffs in the EU and UK, expecting increased market access and demand for shrimp exports. Negative Points The gross income for the shrimp feed division decreased by 12.78% in Q3 FY26 compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to a decrease in the quantity of feed sold. The company faces challenges with increasing prices of major raw materials like fishmeal and soybean meal, impacting profitability. The shrimp processing and export division experienced a decrease in sales quantity by 1,095 metric tons in Q3 FY26, representing a 23% drop. There is uncertainty regarding the implementation timeline of trade agreements with the UK and EU, which could delay potential benefits. The company anticipates a decrease in profit before tax margins for the full fiscal year due to rising raw material costs, expecting it to be around 14.5% to 15%. Q & A Highlights Q: With the implementation of the UK's trade deal and the EU trade deal, do you see the market in the EU expanding for shrimps due to reduced tariffs? A: Yes, the market access into the EU and UK would improve, leading to higher demand from these markets due to reduced duties. (Responden...

Ray Dalio 的观点,文中指出虽然AI正在渗透各行各业,但巨大的基础建设投入未必能转化成企业的实际利润。作者利用互联网泡沫的历史教训警示投资者,技术革命的成功并不等同于具体公司的生存,许多企业可能在盈利前就因资金链断裂而倒闭。此外,文中通过阿里巴巴通义千问团队的人事变动,揭示了即便在不同体制下,开源理想与商业现实的冲突依然激烈。最终,文章强调了在AI吞噬世界的同时,如何实现可持续的现金流才是企业面临的最大挑战。 市场谈 AI,容易看到技术有多猛,不容易看到赚钱有多难。 2026 年 3 月 4 日,桥水基金创始人 Ray Dalio 在 All-In 播客里说: “AI 正在吞掉一切。” 从软件到制造,从金融到医疗,AI 正在改变各个行业的工作方式。资本也在快速跟进:数据中心、GPU 芯片、大模型训练,投资规模持续扩大。 但 Ray Dalio 同时警告:这场繁荣可能会反噬自己。 技术会继续往发展,公司未必活得下来。 第一节|AI在扩散,资本在涌入 Ray Dalio 在访谈里明确表示:AI 正在吞噬一切。 他的意思是:AI 正在进入各个行业,几乎没有哪个领域能够避免。 这和过去的技术革命不太一样。互联网最早改变的是信息传播,后来才慢慢进入电商、广告、金融。AI 不同,只要有数据、有流程,就能用 AI 来做。软件、金融、制造、医疗,很多工作已经有 AI 参与了。 过去需要大量人力的工作,比如写代码、分析数据、生成内容、处理客户服务,现在可以通过模型自动完成。 资本市场反应很快。过去两年,大量资金流向 AI 相关领域。 但 Ray Dalio 接着说了另一句话: “如果这些巨额投入无法转化为足够利润,这场繁荣可能无法持续。” 第二节|押注技术,不等于押注公司 为什么巨额投入可能无法转化为利润? Ray Dalio 在访谈里提到一个常见误区: “投资者以为自己在投资技术革命,但实际上买的是具体公司的股票。这两件事结果可能完全不同。” 他举了 2000 年互联网浪潮的例子。当时互联网被认为会改变世界,后来证明确实如此。电子商务、搜索引擎、社交媒体、在线服务,都在之后二十多年里迅速发展。 但当时的公司呢?大量互联网公司出现,又在泡沫破裂后消失。很多企业在技术真正成熟之前,就因为资金、商业模式或竞争问题被淘汰了。 技术留下来了,公司换了一批。 AI 可能也会经历类似过程...

A Chinese woman who suffered a heart attack almost missed out on life-saving treatment because of her gel nails. The case has shocked mainland social media and become a wake-up call about the risk of manicures. The 28-year-old woman in central China’s Hunan province, who uses the pseudonym Lili, had a sudden heart attack on February 5. Lili’s fake nails, above, presented a dangerous impediment to her emergency treatment. Photo: Handout Emergency medical staff at the People’s Hospital of Hunan Province immediately came to her rescue. Advertisement However, when they tried to fit a fingertip pulse oximeter, a device used to monitor oxygen saturation, they found that the device could not detect the correct data due to her thick and long press-on nails. The gel nails blocked the infrared light rays the device transmitted, which were supposed to measure haemoglobin’s light absorption through the finger.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the best blue chip stocks to buy for the long term. On March 2, Amazon Leo, Amazon.com Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) low Earth orbit satellite broadband network, signed an agreement with Vodafone and its African subsidiary Vodacom to connect 4G and 5G mobile masts in remote areas across Europe and Africa. The announcement was made at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The deal allows Vodafone to deploy mobile base stations in hard-to-reach areas without laying costly fiber or fixed wireless links back to its core network. Instead, it will use Amazon Leo’s satellite backhaul to deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload. Beyond expanding reach, Vodafone will also use Amazon Leo to boost network resilience. This way, the telecom giant will be able to keep emergency and critical services online in the event that fiber links connecting mobile masts are severed. The rollout starts in Germany before expanding to other European markets. Afterwards, Amazon Leo will be deployed progressively across Africa through Vodacom. Both companies expect the first connected mobile sites to go live in 2026. Separately, on March 1, Wolfe Research maintained an Outperform rating on Amazon with a $250 price target. The firm argued that Wall Street is significantly underestimating the commercial value of Amazon’s partnership with Anthropic. Wolfe projects the partnership will contribute $25 billion in Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue by 2027, up from roughly $3.9 billion in 2025. Copyright: buchachon / 123RF Stock Photo Amazon.com Inc.

Everspin Tech NASDAQ: MRAM reported fourth-quarter 2025 results that management said came in toward the high end of its outlook, driven by strength in data center, energy management, and industrial automation end markets. The company also outlined product milestones in its xSPI STT-MRAM portfolio and reiterated a longer-term strategy of reaching $100 million in annual revenue over the next three to five years. Get Everspin Tech alerts: Sign Up Fourth-quarter results and drivers President and CEO Sanjeev Aggarwal said Everspin delivered fourth-quarter revenue of $14.8 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.11 per diluted share. CFO Bill Cooper added revenue was up 12% year over year and within the company’s guidance range of $14 million to $15 million. Aggarwal attributed the quarter’s performance to multiple application areas: Data center: Growth was driven by ongoing work with IBM on its FCM4 module, the recently introduced FCM5, and a RAID reference design at top-five hyperscale operators, according to Aggarwal. Growth was driven by ongoing work with IBM on its FCM4 module, the recently introduced FCM5, and a RAID reference design at top-five hyperscale operators, according to Aggarwal. Energy management and industrial automation: The CEO said demand “returned to normal levels” after a period of inventory consumption that weighed on prior-year demand. Cooper said MRAM product sales, including Toggle and STT-MRAM, were $13.5 million, up 22% from the year-ago quarter. Licensing, royalty, patent, and other revenue declined to $1.3 million from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the completion of projects that were active in the prior year. Margins, expenses, and balance sheet On profitability, Cooper said GAAP gross margin was 50.8%, slightly down from 51.3% in the year-ago period, primarily due to lower licensing and other revenue.

Shiba Inu (SHIB +4.39%) hasn't always been a popular animal with investors. Like other meme coins, it has been dogged by a reputation as a less-than-serious investment with less utility than other digital monies. On Wednesday, though, it was pulled up by a general rally in all manner of cryptocurrencies. This was due in no small part to a new push from the White House. Trump card played Wednesday saw President Trump make one of his frequent proclamations, and this one directly affects cryptocurrencies. The White House announced that Trump called on both hyperscalers and artificial intelligence (AI) companies to secure all the energy necessary, via new generating capacity, for the build-out and operation of data centers. He added that they should be "paying the full cost of their energy and infrastructure, no matter what." Further, as part of the pledge, those companies should promise to refrain from effectively passing the costs to consumers through rate hikes. On top of that, such businesses are expected to find ways to lower consumer electricity costs over the long term through various means. Expand CRYPTO : SHIB Shiba Inu Today's Change ( 4.39 %) $ 0.00 Current Price $ 0.00 Key Data Points Market Cap $3.4B Day's Range $ 0.00 - $ 0.00 52wk Range $ 0.00 - $ 0.00 Volume 192M A powerful ally The Pledge has already been signed by no fewer than seven major tech companies, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT. It benefits cryptocurrencies because it creates a roadblock to anti-crypto mining legislation, which often seeks to address the impact of data center build-outs on ordinary citizens (particularly those struggling to cope with rising costs). This initiative bolsters the Trump team's reputation as a crypto-friendly administration, so we can expect more top-down efforts to support digital coinage. These should benefit meme coins as well as their more "serious" peers.

Mongkol Onnuan/iStock via Getty Images I'm always quite sentimental when I cover EPR Properties ( EPR ). It was the first business I wrote about here at Seeking Alpha. I've covered it several times since then, and in general, I've been very bullish on this unique REIT, but I'm very happy with my initial coverage. Since then (May 2024), EPR's stock price increased by over 37% and delivered nearly 56% total return thanks to EPR's very attractive (in my taste) dividends. Seeking Alpha The last time I covered it was in the beginning of December 2025. Since then, EPR's stock price has increased by 14.3%, delivering a total return of 16.2%. Seeking Alpha I see that EPR has just shared its results for Q4 2025. At the same time, I understand that the market is concerned with dynamic AI development and increasing adoption. Given EPR's substantial exposure to the theater segment, I've seen that some investors are concerned if that could be a threat to EPR. I will explore this later, but I would like to discuss EPR's latest results in the first place. EPR Remains My Key Holding In The REIT Portfolio EPR in a nutshell I consider EPR a very unique REIT in the market as it focuses on experiential properties. Its portfolio was historically oriented around theaters (and they still represent a substantial share of adj. EBITDA - 36% ), but I see that EPR also invests in eat & play venues, fitness centers, ski resorts, waterparks, etc. With a $100B total addressable market, EPR has a lot of opportunities to choose from, and that's why EPR has managed to keep its theater portfolio at a high quality. EPR Properties - Investor Presentation What's important in EPR's business model? The structure of its leases. I'd like to highlight that EPR is a triple net lease REIT. I consider a triple net lease to be a highly favorable type of lease that involves the tenant in covering a substantial part of costs regarding the property (operations, maintenance, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.). EPR Pro...
