Qualcomm (QCOM 0.97%), one of the world's leading mobile chipmakers, turned a $1,000 investment into about $2,500 over the past decade. However, the same investment in a simple S&P 500 index fund would have grown to nearly $3,200 during the same period. Qualcomm couldn't outperform the S&P 500 because it was too dependent on the smartphone market, faced significant competition from MediaTek, and largely missed the secular shift toward data center AI chips. It's also heavily exposed to trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, while its sales of automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), edge networking, and PC chips simply aren't growing quickly enough to offset its slowing smartphone chip sales. It's still generating stable earnings growth and pays a reliable dividend, but it's struggling to command a higher valuation like Nvidia (NVDA 3.17%), Broadcom (AVGO 2.92%), and other higher-growth AI chipmakers. So could Qualcomm get its act together and turn a fresh $1,000 investment into more than $10,000 by the end of this decade? How fast is Qualcomm growing? From fiscal 2025 (which ended last September) to fiscal 2028, analysts expect Qualcomm's revenue to grow at a 2% CAGR. Its sales growth will remain tepid as it struggles to sell more mobile chips in the saturated smartphone market.

Ethereum Ethereum (ETH +0.23%), with a current market cap of $260 billion, is generally considered the largest utility coin in the world.

And if you are looking to trade crypto tokens or meme coins, you can do so on decentralized exchanges running on Ethereum. The currency of the realm, in each case, is Ether. As a result, Ethereum is the gateway to decentralized applications (dApps) and the world of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Nadya So/iStock Editorial via Getty Images All good things take time: that’s the message that Brian Niccol, the Starbucks ( SBUX ) CEO who is credited with turning around Chipotle ( CMG ), is trying to tell investors who have soured on the coffee giant’s stock. Now a little over a year into his tenure, it’s difficult to argue with the fact that Niccol has made his stamp on the company known and implemented many changes, culminating in his “Back To Starbucks” plan with a goal of restoring coffeehouse vibes, reinstating the daily Starbucks habit, simplifying operations and removing discounting. Starbucks’ fiscal Q1 (December quarter) results, reported in late January, is the first indication we have of Niccol’s plan providing green shoots. Shares of Starbucks have rallied modestly since then, though the stock remains down ~7% over the past year. Data by YCharts I last wrote a neutral opinion on Starbucks in January, which came after the heels of when Starbucks decided to partially divest of its China business segment (a strategic decision I continue to view in a positive light). My principal concern on Starbucks had been, and remains lagging US performance, and with the return to positive comps in Q1, I’m more positive on Starbucks’ prospects. Still, the specter of a rich valuation and operating risks ahead still color my opinion here: so while I’m directionally more positive on Starbucks post-earnings, I’m reiterating my neutral rating for now. I think Starbucks belongs on your watch list and bought on major dips, but I think there are a lot of open questions and issues that need to be resolved until I can comfortably buy this stock and sleep soundly at night with it in my portfolio. At current share prices, I see a balanced bull and bear case for Starbucks. On the positive side for the company: Starbucks’ global footprint is unmatched. For better or worse, Starbucks has become the go-to coffee in many markets, and despite recent sales and macro headwinds the company...

The Good Brigade/DigitalVision via Getty Images Although I often cover REIT stocks on this platform, today I'm exploring a different niche related to real estate and properties, the construction materials sector, and so it's a great opportunity to follow up on Martin Marietta ( MLM ), who is up nearly +22% since I recommended holding it back in my Dec. 2023 coverage. At the time, I was optimistic about this company's top-line growth potential, but also thought they seemed too overvalued to buy. This time around, I'll be reviewing not only results from their Feb. 11th earnings results but also reviewing this company across 8 rating categories. Thesis Summary This time around, I'm upgrading this stock to a buy, and the rating worksheet below shows what categories drove this score: MLM - rating worksheet (author) My updated view will show that despite some macro headwinds in residential construction, as well as technical price trends turning bearish, several fundamental strengths exist for Martin Marietta and the most notable are business growth, improving operating margins with a positive EBITDA guidance for FY26, investment-grade credit ratings, proven dividend growth through cycles, and a positive share price forecast. Macro & Sector Outlook Based on the macroeconomic and sector forecasts I considered, I am bearish on this stock. Consider first what line of business this firm is in, from its product portfolio , and that is a focus on construction materials including concrete, asphalt, and aggregates, for instance. Because of this, I think this firm will be heavily impacted by forces impacting the construction sector. Research published this month in a major financial site , citing the research firm Research And Markets, pointed to a weak 2025 so far in this niche: In developed markets such as the US and Western Europe, elevated interest rates and weak sentiment continue to weigh on residential building. US construction spending is estimated to have fallen by 0.4% in...

Micron Technology has been one of the top performers on the stock market in 2026, with its shares rising an impressive 62% this year, as of this writing. The memory specialist's share price rally is driven by a terrific increase in revenue and earnings, and the good news is that it can sustain its growth. Even with its strong showing, Lumentum (LITE 8.65%) and Western Digital (WDC 7.51%) have outperformed Micron this year. While Lumentum is up 90% in 2026, Western Digital has posted an 77% gain. Importantly, both these tech stocks are likely to soar higher as each should benefit from lucrative artificial intelligence (AI)-fueled growth trends. Let's take a closer look at the catalysts that could send them soaring. Lumentum caters to a fast-growing AI niche AI data centers need fast connectivity to move massive datasets quickly. This ensures that AI workloads -- such as training large language models or inference applications -- aren't hindered by slow data transmission. Lumentum's optical and photonic products help solve this potential bottleneck. The company sells switches, optical products, and lasers focused on enhancing the bandwidth of networks and enabling high-speed data transfers. Not surprisingly, its products are in great demand from hyperscalers.

On 18 March 2026, Samsung Electronics announced a memorandum of understanding with AMD to expand their collaboration on next-generation AI memory and computing, centering on primary HBM4 supply for the Instinct MI455X GPU, advanced DDR5 for 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs, and exploring future foundry manufacturing. This deepened tie-up suggests AMD is working to secure critical high-bandwidth memory and potential manufacturing capacity, a key consideration for scaling its AI accelerator and data center roadmap against intense industry competition. We’ll now examine how this expanded Samsung HBM4 and potential foundry partnership could influence AMD’s existing investment narrative and risk-reward balance. Capitalize on the AI infrastructure supercycle with our selection of the converting record-breaking demand into massive cash flow. Advertisement Advanced Micro Devices Investment Narrative Recap To own AMD, you have to believe its data center and AI roadmap can translate into durable growth while justifying a premium valuation. The Samsung MOU looks incrementally helpful for near term AI accelerator supply and system scaling, but it does not remove the biggest risk right now: intense competition and high expectations around MI350 and the broader Instinct and EPYC ramp, where execution and supply chain reliability still have to be proven in volume. Among recent moves, AMD’s Helios rack scale AI platform collaboration with Celestica ties in closely with the Samsung HBM4 agreement, because both target full stack AI systems rather than just chips. If Helios adoption and large cluster builds progress as analysts expect, secure HBM4 and DDR5 supply could support that catalyst; if Helios ramps more slowly, even strong component partnerships may not translate into the revenue trajectory implied in current forecasts. Yet at the same time, investors should be aware that growing reliance on external manufacturing partners could leave AMD more exposed if ... Advanced Micro Devices'...

Khosrork/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction CBRE Group ( CBRE ) closed out 2025 with good performance across most segments, expanding margins and continued momentum in its higher-margin business segments. The company is clearly benefiting from a more diversified business mix and operational discipline, even as parts of the commercial real estate cycle remain under pressure. However, despite these strengths, I think the market may be getting ahead of itself in pricing in a quick recovery through 2026. Transaction activity still looks uneven, office fundamentals are lagging, and macro conditions remain uncertain. While I think AI fears around the CRE space are overblown, I do think at this valuation the stock looks fairly priced. In this article, I’ll break down the recent quarter and recap the year, evaluate the company’s outlook and the risks I see, and explain why I’m issuing a ‘hold’ rating at this time. A look at CBRE’s Q4 results CBRE Group reported a mixed quarter for Q4’25 with revenues of $11.63 billion, up 12% year over year. On EPS, the company’s earnings per share were $2.73, up 18% year over year thanks to better investment sales and leasing volumes, high margin businesses that were relatively strong despite overall macro conditions. When looking at the results by segment, Advisory Services led the way with leasing revenue of $2.9 billion, up 14% globally, driven by 29% growth in Continental Europe, 16% in the U.K., and 12% in the US. In the US, data centers more than doubled, and industrial leasing rose 20% amid accelerating big-box logistics demand and proactive tenant activity ahead of expirations. U.S. Capital Markets sales revenue jumped 27%, led by office and multifamily, and mortgage origination fees grew over 20%. In the Building Operations and Experience segment, CBRE benefited from 18% growth in local facilities management. Pockets of strength in geographies like the Americas and Western Europe were notable alongside enterprise gains...

Billionaire Bill Ackman is the founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, one of the 20 most profitable hedge funds in history as measured by net gains, according to LCH Investments. That makes him an excellent source of inspiration. As of December, Pershing Square had 25% of its portfolio invested in two artificial intelligence (AI) stocks: 14% in Amazon (AMZN 1.66%) and 11% in Meta Platforms (META 2.11%). That screams high conviction. Here's what investors should know.

Ackman thinks those innovations, coupled with strong growth in advertising revenue, could drive "significant margin expansion." Indeed, excluding one-time charges, Amazon's operating margin rose 1.5 percentage points in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, AWS has added dozens of AI products and services, including custom chips (a business where sales are increasing at a triple-digit pace), developer tools, and AI agents for coding, observability, and security. Ackman thinks those innovations not only extend but also potentially accelerate AWS sales growth. Indeed, cloud revenue increased 24% in the fourth quarter, the fastest growth in 13 quarters. Amazon shares are currently 16% below their high, partly because investors are concerned about how much money the company is investing in artificial intelligence. But Morgan Stanley analysts believe that spending is justi...
