Here are the best AI stocks to buy for investors looking toward the future.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>Months after the launch of ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence boom is still going strong.</p></li><li><p>More and more companies are incorporating AI tools into their products and services.</p></li><li><p>This trend has created a significant opportunity for investors to profit as the new gold rush continues.</p></li></ul><p>To say that artificial intelligence is transforming the world would be a drastic understatement. The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continues</p><p><em>InvestorPlace</em> analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a>. In his words:</p><blockquote>“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”</blockquote><p>More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.</p><p>This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.</p><p>What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.</p><h2 id=\"id_3544801079\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31a67376d189f3d1a70b923c79677edb\" alt=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>While it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, <strong>Adobe</strong> has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.</p><p>The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.</p><p>As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_1561524626\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c09b9cca987ad6036cb42deb4c512c48\" alt=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>All Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.</p><p><strong>Alphabet </strong>got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.</p><p>In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the <em>MIT Technology Review</em> reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.</p><p>No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.</p><h2 id=\"id_304089400\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4f663eb75dd9ab11109dd605e74b777\" alt=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>For all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when <strong>Amazon</strong> introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.</p><p>Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.</p><p>Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire <strong>iRobot</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>IRBT</strong>), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup <strong>Hugging Face</strong>, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.</p><h2 id=\"id_1071008481\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADSK\">Autodesk </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caa0287ec782f19c5a593f1fe415564f\" alt=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Contrary to its name, <strong>Autodesk</strong> doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:</p><blockquote>“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”</blockquote><p>It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.</p><p>As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition.

It stands to reason that such a dynamic tech company would be focused on incorporating AI into its operations and Baidu is doing exactly that. But this Chinese tech innovator is taking it further and attempting to develop its own answer to ChatGPT. It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”</p><p>Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.</p><p>As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.</p><h2 id=\"id_1415294707\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BGRY\">Berkshire Grey </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdcfed9943c09a17e9dc8e53835b4d1a\" alt=\"Source: Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p><p>This little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.</p><p>Despite its name, <strong>Berkshire Grey</strong> isn’t owned by Warren Buffett.

The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continuesInvestorPlace analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for Apple . In his words:“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.AI Stocks to Buy: AdobeSource: r.classen / Shutterstock.comWhile it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, Adobe has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.AlphabetSource: salarko / Shutterstock.comAll Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.Alphabet got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the MIT Technology Review reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.Amazon Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.comFor all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when Amazon introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup Hugging Face, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.Autodesk Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.comContrary to its name, Autodesk doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As InvestorPlace contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition. Additionally, the company boasts strong financials and encouraging growth prospects. While ADSK stock has been fairly volatile over the past year, it is poised to ride the AI boom to new heights. AI Stocks to Buy: Baidu Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.comA leader in China’s tech market, Baidu has a reach that spans many sectors, including IT, electronics and electric vehicles. It stands to reason that such a dynamic tech company would be focused on incorporating AI into its operations and Baidu is doing exactly that. But this Chinese tech innovator is taking it further and attempting to develop its own answer to ChatGPT. It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.As InvestorPlace contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.Berkshire Grey Source: ShutterstockThis little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.Despite its name, Berkshire Grey isn’t owned by Warren Buffett. Based in Massachusetts, this AI innovator produces intelligent robotic automation solutions for industries such as e-commerce and retail. As noted, industry-leader Amazon is focused on optimizing AI to help reduce operating costs and maximize shipping efficiency. This means that companies in Berkshire Grey’s space will likely see a surge in demand for their robotic solutions as these trends take over and human workers are gradually phased out.BRGY stock has been fairly volatile lately, but it currently trades at less than $1.50 per share. That should be highly enticing for investors who can stomach some risk. Penny stocks can make potential buyers nervous, but there are some key reasons to be optimistic about Berkshire Grey. As InvestorPlace contributor Alex Sirois reports, it touts “impressive productivity increases, including a 70% reduction in overhead costs and 90% faster truck unload times for its customers.” Amazon and its peers are likely to take notice and when they do, BGRY could skyrocket out of the penny stock category.BYD Company Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve FinkelsenOne of the most exciting aspects of the AI revolution is the possibility that it will take us to a future with driverless cars.Electric vehicle producers are laser-focused on reaching this goal before their competitors do. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is getting most of the attention, investors would be better served to focus on other automakers. BYD Company (OTCMKTS:BYDDY) is quietly leading China’s EV race and it is doubling down on incorporating AI in its vehicles. It has partnered with industry-leading chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to bring the cutting edge DRIVE Orin platform to its new energy vehicles.More recently, the company took a major step forward when it partnered with AI and metaverse innovator MeetKai. On July 11, the latter announced the launch of BYD World, an “interactive virtual dealership experience dedicated to providing new opportunities for customers to interact with the BYD brand and its products in Americas.” This could be BYD’s ticket into the U.S. market after it has already sold more vehicles than Tesla in China. This type of innovation makes it an excellent bet among both EV and AI stocks to buy as it gears up to expand its global reach. It has been touted as having the potential to reach a trillion-dollar valuation.CrowdStrike Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.comWe can’t talk about markets being changed by AI without discussing cybersecurity. CrowdStrikehas been dominating that field for years, offering cybersecurity and data protection. Now AI is poised to help improve the tech solutions upon which many companies depend. Forbes reports that “76% of enterprises have prioritized AI and machine learning in their IT budgets.” Additionally, demand for cybersecurity services is growing faster than the human workforce. This means that the firms prioritizing AI will have a clear advantage. And CrowdStrike is at the forefront of this movement. It recently introduced Charlotte AI, a generative AI analyst created to help users navigate its CrowdStrike Falcon platform.This isn’t CrowdStrike’s first foray into AI, either. Far from it. In August 2022, the company rolled out AI-powered indicators of attack (IOAs), created by “cloud-native machine learning models.” On top of that, CRWD has continuously earned its place among both cybersecurity and AI stocks to buy.GitLab Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.comThe current AI-centric economic landscape puts companies like GitLab in a perfect position. For years, this innovative DevOps platform has helped tech developers and teams build software. It enables collaboration which has been of paramount importance in the age of remote work. Now, more and more companies are rushing to enter the AI race while entrepreneurs are scrambling to build the next great AI startup. Both these trends stand to create significant demand for a platform like GitLab. As Sirois notes:“The reason that investors are so focused on GitLab is clear. The company has rapidly added AI features to its platform (10 recently), and posted revenue that was $9 million above analyst expectations, at $127 million. GitLab’s CEO Sid Sijbrandij was resolute in his belief that AI will help GitLab to make software for organizations faster than it could prior.”AI Stocks to Buy: First Solar Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comDespite some volatility over the past six months, First Solar has repeatedly proven that it can’t be kept down. This clean energy leader has risen more than 35% year to date (YTD). While it may not instantly come to mind when you think of AI stocks, that doesn’t mean it should be counted out.Like all innovative manufacturers, First Solar has found ways to incorporate AI into its production to help improve its output and efficiency. In June 2021, the company invested $680 million in expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new facility in Ohio. It stated that the new facility would “produce a higher degree of automation, precision, and continuous improvement” by combining worker power with AI and IOT connectivity.First Solar also offers investors AI exposure through partnerships. It has teamed up with Microsoft to help the tech giant achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral. Microsoft has made it clear that this will be achieved by further harnessing the growing power of AI and data science. First Solar has been making ample use of Microsoft’s technologies for some time, demonstrating the importance of AI for the manufacturing and clean energy markets.Hyundai Motors Source: shutterstock.com/AntonovVitaliiThis South Korean automaker doesn’t get as much attention as other car names. But to overlook Hyundai would be to make a critical mistake.In June 2021, it completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, a company with years of progress demonstrating the power of robotic technology. One year later, it announced plans to launch the Boston Dynamics AI Institute, a project geared toward advancing AI and robotics. The company has already demonstrated progress on this front, sharing a video on its website of a robot helping potential buyers shop for cars.Hyundai’s AI advancements don’t stop there. It is also highly focused on autonomous driving. As part of this, it announced that its IONIQ 5 robo-taxi would be hitting the streets in 2023. One of its South Korea-based affiliates has partnered with leading chipmaker Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) to further its autonomous driving tech. If this progress continues, Hyundai is likely to pose a threat to the other automakers who want to win the driverless race.Innodata Source: carlos castilla/ShutterstockYou might not know the name Innodata, but if you’re seeking cheap AI stocks to buy before they explode, you absolutely should.This company has surged more than 200% over the past six months and it still trades at less than $11 per share. Innodata operates in the business process solution space, helping companies solve complex data and engineering challenges through AI. And while it isn’t a household name yet, the company’s growth speaks for itself. InvestorPlace contributor Ian Cooper notes that for all the explosive growth it has seen recently, INOD stock has plenty of room to run as the AI boom powers it higher. In his words:“[The company] was selected by a leading cloud infrastructure and platform services company to provide large-scale data collection for a new AI computer vision initiative. Innodata also just signed a significant application re-engineering agreement to enable a customer to more fully leverage Innodata-built artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.”Cooper also notes that Innodata could stand to benefit from the increasing trend of tech giants acquiring smaller AI firms. In either case, the company is a likely winner among lesser-known AI innovators.Luminar Technologies Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.comAutomakers are focused on winning the driverless race… and Luminar is helping several industry leaders get there.This innovative startup produces lidar technology designed to make autonomous driving safer for everyone. It does this by helping vehicles detect their surroundings by sending out distance-measuring laser beams. And while Elon Musk has criticized this type of technology, he may live to eat his words. Other experts have praised Luminar’s innovations and speculated that its tech could help other automakers finish ahead of Tesla.There’s good reason for this optimism. Luminar remains highly focused on growth through partnerships. In June 2023, it announced an agreement to bring its AI-based driving software to automated trucking company Plus. Before that, it collaborated with autonomous driving leader Pony.ai on a new sensing platform. Automakers clearly trust Luminar’s technology to help them make driverless cars safe.Microsoft Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.comAs one of the tech sector’s leading companies, it makes sense that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) would be helping lead the charge toward an AI-driven future. This Silicon Valley behemoth has plenty going for it, none the least of which is its multibillion-dollar investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. That alone would be enough to earn MSFT a place on a list of the top AI stocks to buy. But the company has plenty of other projects that make it worth betting on for investors seeking AI exposure. Its cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure includes many important features such as tools for users to create their own AI solutions.Like its Big Tech peers, Microsoft has the resources to continue scaling its operations. It offers users the opportunity to do almost any business-related task that involves AI, from developing conversational AI bots to complex machine learning models. As the company continues incorporating advanced AI tools into its vast array of products, MSFT stock will only continue growing. Shares are up 50% over the past six months and they aren’t about to slow down as the AI boom picks up steam.MicroStrategy Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.comWhen this company makes headlines, it’s often for crypto-related matters. After all, the business intelligence consultancy currently owns $4.6 billion in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and its co-founder Michael Saylor is a leading Bitcoin evangelist.But MicroStrategy has been on a truly impressive winning streak recently, rising more than 200% over the past two quarters. The recent crypto rally has certainly helped, but it isn’t the only reason.Known for producing enterprise analytics software, this company has also been busy incorporating AI-based tools into its tech. Its Data Whisperer program features a chatbot that helps users understand their data. It also uses AI models to bring new insights to customers by evaluating data to spot new trends and outlying factors. Meanwhile, the company has been exploring partnerships with industry leaders. As InvestorPlace contributor Tyrik Torres notes:“Recently, MicroStrategy announced a multi-year partnership with Microsoft to integrate MicroStrategy’s analytics into Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. This makes it one of those AI stocks with triple digit returns potentially in the future.”Mobileye Global Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.comLike Luminar, Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY) is helping power the autonomous driving revolution.The company produces advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which it claims have been deployed in more than 135 million vehicles. Pus, Mobileye produces both software and hardware systems, including chips and censors. This puts it in an excellent position to help automakers continue advancing toward a driverless future. In 2022, it began testing its tech in self-driving cars in both the U.S. and Germany in order to train its AI to handle a wider variety of road conditions.InvestorPlace contributor Tom Taulli sees MBLY as a potential winner among AI stocks to buy. He notes that while the company’s last earnings report did not thrill Wall Street, investors should regard it as an opportunity to pick up a valuable AI stock at a better valuation before it gains momentum. Taulli also adds that Mobileye comes with key advantages, such as a “patent portfolio, proprietary algorithms and rich data repositories.” All these factors could help MBLY keep rising as demand for autonomous driving solutions continues to grow.Nvidia Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.comSince 2022, it’s been impossible to discuss AI stocks without the conversation turning to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). To say that this chipmaker has been the breakout stock of the year would be an understatement. It reached a trillion-dollar market cap during the AI boom and it seems as though the Silicon Valley darling is there to stay. It has soared over 150% over the past six months and while this may not seem sustainable, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Many companies depend on Nvidia’s products to continue their AI efforts. This includes ChatGPT, which is said to be powered by Nvidia chips.It doesn’t take much to see that this puts Nvidia in a position of power as the AI revolution rages on. In fact, it may be the most likely winner of the new AI-driven economy. Between the AI and metaverse, more and more companies will come to rely on Nvidia’s products, sending demand sky high. Simply having ChatGPT as a client would make it a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.But as InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier notes, Nvidia’s potential far exceeds the chatbot. The economy is moving in a new direction, creating a wave that NVDA stock is perfectly tailored to ride.Palantir Technologies Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.comThe rise of machine learning is an excellent development for Big Data analytics. This means that firms in the space will be working overtime to implement AI into their day-to-day operations. Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is up more than 170% year to date as the firm that helps other companies embrace Big Data.The Financial Times recently described the rise of AI as the crisis that Palantir has been looking for. Palantir recently demonstrated its new AI platform’s military applications, and company insiders have claimed to be seeing “unprecedented demand” for it. Palantir also recently announced a partnership with autonomous drone technology producer AirMatrix, furthering its AI exposure even more.Rockwell Automation Source: JHVEPhoto / ShutterstockLango has described the AI boom as a “Mt. Everest-sized opportunity in AI robotics.” This means that established leaders in the space will have significant room to run as more companies prioritize automation. Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) is exactly such a company. It focuses primarily on creating industrial automation and control systems, but its products and services are vast, spanning as far as cybersecurity and network solutions.Rockwell hasn’t seen the type of gains that some companies on this list have this year. Investors should be careful to see the big picture, though. ROK stock has been gradually gaining momentum as the AI boom has taken off, demonstrating slow-but-steady growth. The company boasts robust financials and a truly global reach that will only expand more as demand for its products continues. As a trusted leader in the automation space, Rockwell will have a clear advantage in the coming year.SoundHound AI Source: Tada Images / ShutterstockThis stock likely isn’t on the radar of too many investors. But SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) is worthy of investor attention.The company has already proven that its audio and speech recognition technology has major applications for industries such as food service and automotive, as well as for contact centers. Its conversational AI tools can help businesses with tasks such as answering phones and taking messages and reservations. As workers opt away from these jobs, more and more small businesses will be seeking automated solutions. If you need help answering the phone, SoundHound might have exactly what you need.Despite still trading below $5, SOUN stock has made impressive progress this year, rising 175% YTD. Cooper has also flagged it as a likely acquisition target, and with demand growing for its tech, it’s easy to see why. Additionally, SoundHound also saw a significant boost recently after being added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices. This will help the company gain legitimacy in the eyes of the financial community and will likely spur further investment.Splunk Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comFor a leader in the workplace AI space, Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK) hasn’t risen by as much as some of its peers. However, that just means investors have an opportunity to pick up a valuable stock at a discount.This company also helps clients analyze and sort through their data. If Palantir is benefitting from the new data boom, Splunk could very well follow. It also features a generative AI tool used to enhance user experiences. This interface also allows the user to create Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries. All this is meant to make Splunk’s valuable features more accessible to users.On top of all that, the company recently reported fiscal Q1 2024 earnings and they did not disappoint. Splunk surpassed analyst estimates, reporting an 11% increase in revenue while annual recurring revenue rose by 16%. Even more impressive is its positive free cash flow, which saw a year-over-year (YOY) increase of 253%. When we consider all that, it’s not hard to see why Wall Street analysts remain highly bullish on SPLK stock.Stem Source: petrmalinak / ShutterstockAnother company that often gets overshadowed by its larger peers, Stem (NYSE:STEM) offers investors exposure to both the AI and clean energy markets.This perch at the intersection of these two growing sectors, combined with its low price point of less than $10, should make it an enticing play for investors who don’t mind a little risk. STEM stock has been on a winning streak this month, rising more than 26% and making it clear it doesn’t intend to slow down. Part of this is likely due to AI driven momentum. Stem’s Athena platform uses this new tech to maximize “energy asset performance and investments,” providing a valuable service. As I previously reported :“The rising costs of electricity are creating a highly favorable economic landscape for Stem. As more and more companies invest in clean energy solutions, programs like Athena will become necessary for management and efficiency purposes. Stem’s revenue has been rising steadily this year, but the company is poised to soar in the coming years as it plays a critical role in both the green and AI revolutions.”Symbotic Source: shutterstock.com/Allies InteractiveBased in Wilmington, Massachusetts, this warehouse automation innovator is also riding the robotics boom that Lango discussed. Symbotic (NASDAQ:SYM) has surged by an astonishing 275% YTD, proving just how powerful the demand for warehouse automation is. It produces both robots driven by AI and an automation platform for warehouses. It has partnered with retail powerhouses such as Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Albertsons (NYSE:ACI). Other companies are likely to follow as demand for robotic solutions in warehouse and shipping facilities increases. This technology can allow companies to decrease their operating costs and increase shipping efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment.“Symbotic is also poised to benefit from higher spending by consumers on physical products, a phenomenon that I expect to begin occurring in earnest during the current quarter,” notes InvestorPlace contributor Larry Ramer.That’s just one of the reasons that Ramer considers SYM stock to be one of the best ways to gain AI exposure.Teradyne Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comOne of the world’s largest robotic technology producers, Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) designs and manufactures automatic test equipment but it also produces collaborative robots, designed to work alongside humans. The company has taken significant steps to expand its AI operations, acquiring both Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots. These deals give it a sizable share of an already booming market that is likely to only increase as industry trends spur demand for the type of robotic solutions that Teradyne provides.Teradyne’s power lies in the fact that it both manufactures top-of-the-line equipment and creates robots designed to help automate away mundane tasks. Those are two areas in which demand isn’t fading, allowing it a clear pathway to growth. It has also partnered with companies in the automotive, defense and aerospace sectors, giving investors even more reason to bet on it. For these reasons, InvestorPlace contributor Faizan Farooque believes it has the potential to deliver “life-changing returns.”Wearable Devices Source: shutterstock.com/LDprodThis may seem like an unconventional choice for a list of the best AI stocks to buy. But pay attention.Wearable Devices is developing an AI-based “wearable neural interface” that could take it out of penny stock territory. Wearable Devices wants to put this device in the form of a wristband that can control technology with “subtle finger movements.”Earlier this year, the company received a $900,00 grant from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) to develop the neural interface, sending shares soaring. It has had an overall outstanding year, rising 215% YTD and still trading at less than $2 per share.If investors don’t mind some risk, WLDS could prove a highly profitable investment if it can get its flagship device to market. Its technology could prove to be the next big thing in AI, assuming it can keep developing it successfully.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196915676758136,"gmtCreate":1689110840955,"gmtModify":1689110845283,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Insightful info thanks!","listText":"Insightful info thanks!","text":"Insightful info thanks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/196915676758136","repostId":"2350178753","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195657437368560,"gmtCreate":1688805297457,"gmtModify":1688805302419,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a game charger n game leader of EV cars!

Checks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2343867006","media":"Reuters","summary":"Amazon is excluding its new competitor Temu from its price searching algorithm that checks if produc","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Amazon is excluding its new competitor Temu from its price searching algorithm that checks if products sold on its platform are competitive with rivals, saying the site doesn't meet its standards.</p><p>According to Amazon, Temu, an e-commerce marketplace that launched in September, does not meet its strict qualification requirements for Amazon's fair pricing policy. That means some low-priced general merchandise on Temu, owned by PDD Holdings, could beat out prices offered by Amazon's marketplace sellers.</p><p>The pricing algorithm, which uses automated and manual tracking methods, checks products found on and off Amazon to ensure merchants on its marketplace are not charging significantly more than Amazon rivals are.</p><p>Amazon is wary of engaging in a price war with competitors it does not consider reputable. The company said its qualification standards ensure that it does not compare or match prices against what is sees as merchandise from questionable marketplaces – including products that might be counterfeit.</p><p>Much of the merchandise sold on Temu is from vendors and suppliers based in China. In advertisements and on social media platforms, Temu has touted low prices for home goods, electronics and apparel shipped from China, including $5 dresses and $2 makeup brush sets, with the hopes of competing with Amazon.</p><p>Neither Temu nor its U.S.-based lawyer at Mandell Menkes returned multiple messages seeking comment. On its website, the company states that it has "a strict policy against the listing or sale of products that violates a third-party’s trademark, copyright or patent rights."</p><p>Temu is "not actively involved in the listing and sale of sellers’ items," and vendors are responsible for getting the necessary licenses for their stores, the statement says.</p><p>Amazon's decision to ignore Temu's prices - rather than compete with them - highlights the dilemma Amazon faces in keeping prices competitive while ensuring that products on its platform are safe and authentic.</p><p>To be sure, Amazon has battled its own counterfeit problem in past years. The retailer says it has ramped up its reporting of fakes to law enforcement along with other initiatives to track and combat counterfeits.</p><p>Temu's general merchandise value, or total value of goods sold, has increased from $141.5 million in January to $634.8 million in May, according to YipitData.</p><p>Amazon merchants without competitively priced merchandise face having Amazon remove their Buy Box - a button that enables shoppers to easily purchase products - until the Amazon merchant matches the prices of their competitors.</p><p>Amazon punishes repeat offenders whose products are perceived to be overpriced by suspending or removing them from its marketplace.</p><p>"If we see pricing practices on a store offer that harms customer trust, Amazon can remove the Featured Offer, remove the offer, suspend the ship option, or in serious or repeated cases suspend or terminate selling privileges," according to Amazon's Marketplace Fair Pricing Policy section on its website.</p><p>Amazon says it works hard "every day to provide customers with low prices." However, if the company were to compare prices to Temu, it could result in swathes of sellers being penalized or forced to drop their prices to unprofitable levels.</p><p>Feixiang Wang, the chief executive of China-based MaiBo Technology Company, told Reuters in an interview that he found alleged copies of his company's $25.99 FitBeast-stamped exercise equipment on Temu for less than $5.

Even as Powell insisted Wednesday that rate cuts are not his “base case,” bond traders stuck to bets that the central bank will reverse course this year.Swap rateslinked to policy meeting dates now show cuts totaling about one percentage point by year-end.Ever-changing views of the economy and Fed have underpinned an almost unprecedented stretch of turbulence in government bonds. For an 11th session through Thursday, two-year Treasury yields moved more than 10 basis points, a run of wild swings not seen since 1981. Among these sessions, seven were up and four down, exerting pain for bulls and bears alike.Amid all the confusion and volatility, the Nasdaq 100 has stood out as one of the best-performing assets this year, thanks to the dominance of cash-rich tech megacaps. While the index is up almost 17%, getting there has been stomach-churning. Bad timing can be punishing: missing the best five days would have left investors with a gain of only 1%.To Que Nguyen, chief investment officer of equity strategies at Research Affiliates, investors had better prepare for a bumpy road ahead.“Most of the time when you have a debt or liquidity problem, it doesn’t go away in two weeks,” she said. “The markets are stable when things are over. So, the fact that we’re still in this massive amount of volatility tells me that things aren’t really over.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941411830,"gmtCreate":1680527541121,"gmtModify":1680527546168,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for this info!","listText":"Thanks for this info!","text":"Thanks for this info!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":25,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941411830","repostId":"2324304105","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2324304105","pubTimestamp":1680536101,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2324304105?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-03 23:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid at All Costs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2324304105","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.Beyond Meat (BYND): The company never reached profi","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.</p></li><li><p><strong>Beyond Meat</strong> (<strong>BYND</strong>): The company never reached profitability and now sales are slumping.</p></li><li><p><strong>Affirm </strong>(<strong>AFRM</strong>): The buy now, pay later firm is facing large losses and new competition from Apple.</p></li><li><p><strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (<strong>RIOT</strong>): With the cryptocurrency ecosystem collapsing, it will be tough sledding for the miner.</p></li></ul><p>Investors are always looking for a good bargain.

That’s a recipe for disaster.</p><h2>Affirm (AFRM)</h2><p><strong>Affirm</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong>AFRM</strong>) is a fintech company seeking to disrupt the payments industry. Its mission is to bring “buy now, pay later” technology to consumers. Buy now, pay later is intended to give consumers the ability to make purchases over a series of payments while avoiding the interest that would be incurred with a traditional credit card that wasn’t paid off promptly.</p><p>In practice, Affirm has struggled to make the model work. It charges vendors for offering the buy now, pay later service since it should help drive sales growth at said retailers. But, it appears Affirm isn’t charging vendors enough to underwrite the service.</p><p>The company lost $360 million in the most recently reported quarter alone. Its operating loss was 84% higher than in the comparable quarter in 2021. This is a classic example of a company increasing losses as the business expanded, which is never a good sign. And with soaring interest rates and a weakening economy, Affirm could see rising credit losses going forward.</p><p>Affirm was already in trouble given its large operating losses and mounting macroeconomic concerns. But <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong>AAPL</strong>) may have just put the final nail in Affirm’s coffin. In late March, Apple announced it is rolling out its own buy now, pay later service. Given Apple’s existing payments technology and tremendous brand, this is likely to siphon off a significant chunk of Affirm’s existing customer base.</p><p>Put Affirm on your list of stocks to avoid.</p><h2>Riot Platforms (RIOT)</h2><p><strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>RIOT</u></strong>) is a company primarily focused on the mining of cryptocurrency such as <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (<strong><u>BTC-USD</u></strong>). Investors became enamored with these types of companies several years ago when cryptocurrency prices were soaring.</p><p>However, that has all changed. Several major cryptocurrencies collapsed. This, in turn, caused various investment firms related to crypto to shut down. Now the problems have spread to the banking sector, with banks that focused on cryptocurrency, such as <strong>Silvergate Bank</strong>, becoming insolvent. Additionally, regulators are cracking down on major remaining cryptocurrency exchanges.</p><p>All this to say that cryptocurrency has entered a deep freeze. That’s bad for the likes of Riot Platforms. Indeed, its cryptocurrency mining revenue slid 15% from $184.4 million in 2021 to $156.9 million in 2022. The company lost $509.6 million in 2022 thanks primarily to impairments related to overpriced acquisitions, falling values of mining equipment, and a decrease in the value of cryptocurrency held on the firm’s balance sheet.</p><p>Despite the company’s massive problems, RIOT stock has rallied sharply in recent weeks. This makes little sense. A market cap of $1.7 billion is far too rich for an unprofitable firm with modest revenue in a struggling industry.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid at All Costs</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid at All Costs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-03 23:35 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.Beyond Meat (BYND): The company never reached profitability and now sales are slumping.Affirm (AFRM): The buy now, pay later firm is facing large ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BYND":"Beyond Meat, Inc.","AFRM":"Affirm Holdings, Inc.","RIOT":"Riot Platforms"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2324304105","content_text":"These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.Beyond Meat (BYND): The company never reached profitability and now sales are slumping.Affirm (AFRM): The buy now, pay later firm is facing large losses and new competition from Apple.Riot Platforms (RIOT): With the cryptocurrency ecosystem collapsing, it will be tough sledding for the miner.Investors are always looking for a good bargain.

But there are a few companies putting up impressive returns over the past few months. Two of them are <b>Nvidia</b> and <b>The Trade Desk</b>.</p><p>These two companies are easily outpacing the broader market's returns year to date, and, just as importantly, both companies have strong businesses that could continue to do well in the years to come. Here's why the semiconductor giant and digital ad company should be on your buy list.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2efb5ed3d5c4194c4df63bd122c3dbd0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"452\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p><h2>Nvidia -- up 65% year to date</h2><p>Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) have long been a staple for high-end graphics in the gaming sector, and over the past years they've been used more and more for data centers and artificial intelligence.</p><p>And it's in those two markets that Nvidia has significant opportunities. Large tech companies utilize Nvidia's GPUs for many of their cloud computing needs, and this has helped Nvidia's data center business to grow steadily. Data center sales accounted for 67% of the company's total revenue in the fourth quarter, and sales increased 11% in quarter to $3.6 billion -- and are up 90% from just two years ago.</p><p>That growth is impressive enough on its own, but Nvidia is also tapping into another huge trend: artificial intelligence. Most recently, <b>Microsoft</b> is using thousands of Nvidia processors to help train ChatGPT, the popular large language model that Microsoft is implementing into its software and services (including Word, Bing search, and Azure cloud computing).</p><p>The good news for Nvidia is that that no matter who takes the lead in the AI arms race, Nvidia will likely benefit as a key source of high-powered semiconductors for this space. Nvidia believes that its AI chips' total addressable market size is a staggering $300 billion. And with AI already a major focus for tech companies, Nvidia is already positioned to benefit as AI chip demand grows.</p><h2>The Trade Desk -- up 23% year to date</h2><p>The Trade Desk is an online platform for buying digital advertising that get placed on internet-connected devices, such as phones and smart TVs, and the company has seen substantial growth in the digital ad market over the past year.</p><p>In the third quarter, the company's sales increased by 24% to $491 million, which is impressive given that many companies experienced falling ad revenue over the past several quarters. Part of the company's success has come from its ability to navigate changes in the digital ad market, including the shift away from online trackers (called cookies).</p><p>As the industry has moved away from cookies, The Trade Desk helped develop an innovative online identifier called Unified ID 2.0 (UID2) that helps protect user privacy while still allowing companies to serve targeted online ads. UID2 has already been adopted by a large and growing number of companies such as <i>The Washington Post</i>, <b>fuboTV</b>, and <b>Amazon</b> Web Services, proving its success.</p><p>While some investors may be wary of the digital ad market right now, they should keep in mind that this market is expected to expand quickly over the next few years, reaching an estimated global size of about $696 billion in 2024, up from $567 billion in 2022, according to research from Insider Intelligence.</p><h2>Keep this in mind</h2><p>It's worth mentioning that Nvidia and The Trade Desk's recent share price gains made the stocks expensive relative to the broader market.

But there are a few companies putting up impressive returns over the past few months. Two of them are Nvidia and The Trade Desk.These two companies are easily outpacing the broader market's returns year to date, and, just as importantly, both companies have strong businesses that could continue to do well in the years to come. Here's why the semiconductor giant and digital ad company should be on your buy list.Image source: GETTY IMAGES.Nvidia -- up 65% year to dateNvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) have long been a staple for high-end graphics in the gaming sector, and over the past years they've been used more and more for data centers and artificial intelligence.And it's in those two markets that Nvidia has significant opportunities. Large tech companies utilize Nvidia's GPUs for many of their cloud computing needs, and this has helped Nvidia's data center business to grow steadily. Data center sales accounted for 67% of the company's total revenue in the fourth quarter, and sales increased 11% in quarter to $3.6 billion -- and are up 90% from just two years ago.That growth is impressive enough on its own, but Nvidia is also tapping into another huge trend: artificial intelligence. Most recently, Microsoft is using thousands of Nvidia processors to help train ChatGPT, the popular large language model that Microsoft is implementing into its software and services (including Word, Bing search, and Azure cloud computing).The good news for Nvidia is that that no matter who takes the lead in the AI arms race, Nvidia will likely benefit as a key source of high-powered semiconductors for this space. Nvidia believes that its AI chips' total addressable market size is a staggering $300 billion. And with AI already a major focus for tech companies, Nvidia is already positioned to benefit as AI chip demand grows.The Trade Desk -- up 23% year to dateThe Trade Desk is an online platform for buying digital advertising that get placed on internet-connected devices, such as phones and smart TVs, and the company has seen substantial growth in the digital ad market over the past year.In the third quarter, the company's sales increased by 24% to $491 million, which is impressive given that many companies experienced falling ad revenue over the past several quarters. Part of the company's success has come from its ability to navigate changes in the digital ad market, including the shift away from online trackers (called cookies).As the industry has moved away from cookies, The Trade Desk helped develop an innovative online identifier called Unified ID 2.0 (UID2) that helps protect user privacy while still allowing companies to serve targeted online ads. UID2 has already been adopted by a large and growing number of companies such as The Washington Post, fuboTV, and Amazon Web Services, proving its success.While some investors may be wary of the digital ad market right now, they should keep in mind that this market is expected to expand quickly over the next few years, reaching an estimated global size of about $696 billion in 2024, up from $567 billion in 2022, according to research from Insider Intelligence.Keep this in mindIt's worth mentioning that Nvidia and The Trade Desk's recent share price gains made the stocks expensive relative to the broader market. Nvidia's shares currently trade at 55 times the company's forward earnings, and The Trade Desk has a forward P/E ratio of 48, both of which are well above the S&P 500's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.That doesn't mean these stocks aren't buys, it just means that investors should know that buying them right now means paying a premium for these companies. But owning these stocks over the next five years or more could prove to be a wise bet, as Nvidia and The Trade Desk continue to tap into the vast AI and digital advertising markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949599772,"gmtCreate":1678723406596,"gmtModify":1678723411562,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","listText":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","text":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":23,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949599772","repostId":"1105902626","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944114903,"gmtCreate":1681742358602,"gmtModify":1681742362802,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple is so powerful in securing its market shares!","listText":"Apple is so powerful in securing its market shares!","text":"Apple is so powerful in securing its market shares!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":21,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9944114903","repostId":"1116564575","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1116564575","pubTimestamp":1681740021,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1116564575?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-17 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: You Shall Not Bet Against The iPhone","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116564575","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryBased on the sustained success of Apple's iPhone business, I find the Q2 2023 earnings estima","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul><li><p>Based on the sustained success of Apple's iPhone business, I find the Q2 2023 earnings estimates to be reasonable, despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop.</p></li><li><p>Investors should consider that the iPhone accounts for about 52% of Apple's total sales, and an even larger share of profits.with continued strong purchase intention going forward.</p></li><li><p>Surveys from Piper Sandler and UBS highlight exceptional iPhone loyalty and strong purchase intention going forward.</p></li><li><p>A weak demand for the Mac is thus less concerning, with the segment accounting for only about 10% of Apple's total sales.</p></li><li><p>As a function of valuation - with AAPL stock's estimated 2023 P/E priced close to 30x - I am cautious to assign a 'Buy' recommendation.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/003e4cbcebb24c0dfc5705f4fee1adb0\" alt=\"yalcinsonat1/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\" title=\"yalcinsonat1/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\"/><span>yalcinsonat1/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I have previously argued that--anchored on fundamentals--Apple stock' (NASDAQ:AAPL) fair implied target prices should be somewhere around $165. Now, with Apple stock trading very close to this level and the FY 2023 Q2 earnings expected for May 4th, I feel it is a good time to revisit the investment thesis for Apple.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For reference, Apple stock has appreciated 32% YTD, as compared to a gain of only 8% for the S&P 500 (SP500). Needless to say, this is quite an amazing outperformance for a >$2.6 trillion dollar mega-cap business.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/234781ca3b6d7d8a9f5d9994002da0f2\" alt=\"AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023\" title=\"AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"235\"/><span>AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I view Apple's Q2 2023 earnings estimates as reasonable, given continued strength in the company's iPhone business. But, as a function of valuation--with AAPL stock's estimated 2023 P/E priced close x30--I am cautious to assign a 'Buy' recommendation. Apple remains a 'Hold' for me with a $164.85/share target price.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple's Q2 2023 Preview</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Based on data collected by Seeking Alpha, as of April 16th, a total of 33 analysts have provided their projections for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 results. These projections indicate that Apple's total sales for the quarter are expected to fall within the range of $89.8 billion to $98.9 billion, with an average estimate of $92.8. Based on the average analyst consensus estimate, it is suggested that Apple's Q2 2023 sales may contract by approximately 4.5% YoY as compared to the same quarter in FY 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76ec2771327ab134275cfede0651fff0\" alt=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates\" title=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\"/><span>Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Furthermore, analysts have provided earnings per share estimates ranging from $1.35 to $1.56, with an average of $1.43. While the range of EPS estimates is quite wide, assuming the average of $1.43, analysts anticipate that Apple's Q2 FY 2023 earnings will contract by about 6.8% versus the Q2 FY 2022 period.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/42d7bf2fb0c1023b36e4615c3fc965ba\" alt=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates\" title=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\"/><span>Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Reflecting on analysts' estimates for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 quarter, it is worth noting that, both revenue and EPS estimates have started to trend downwards since early 2023, indicating a divergence of how analysts and markets view Apple's business fundamentals (AAPL stock up >30% YTD).</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A Review of Apple's Business Fundamentals</h2><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Mac demand is crashing</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple Inc.'s personal computer shipments dropped by 40.5% in the first quarter, marking the worst decline since the end of 2000, due to sluggish demand and an industrywide glut, particularly in the consumer market. This decline is part of a broader trend in the PC market, with all PC makers experiencing a slump of 29% in shipments as the demand surge driven by pandemic-era remote work subsided. Apple, which had been relatively resilient during the pandemic, is preparing to launch new models later this year in hopes of spurring demand, while analysts predict a potential rebound for PC makers in 2024 due to aging hardware replacement and an improving global economy.</p><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">The iPhone Is Still King</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Investors should consider that the iPhone accounts for about 52% of Apple's total sales, and an even larger share of profits. And a weak demand for the Mac is thus less concerning, accounting for only about 10% of Apple's total sales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01ceb98c4ba14ae97ccd79007cd2862c\" alt=\"Apple revenue exposure\" title=\"Apple revenue exposure\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"375\"/><span>Apple revenue exposure</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Apple FY 2022 reporting, Author's graph</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The good news is that the demand for iPhones remains healthy, despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Notably, analysts from UBS (UBS Evidence Lab proprietary research) conducted a comprehensive survey of approximately 4,000 iPhone users in four different regions across the world to gain insights into the installed base and adoption of various Apple services.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The survey revealed that as of March 2023 the iPhone retention rate in the United States has increased to 83%, as compared to 81% in 2022 (a notable increase of 200 basis points), and as compared to about 76% pre-COVID. In China, the iPhone retention rate has also rise, to 44%, versus approximately 29% two years ago.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, the survey highlights that approximately 45% of all iPhone users own devices below the iPhone 12 generation, and about 20% own devices below the iPhone 11 generation, suggesting the likelihood of a strong upgrade cycle within the next 12-24 months.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">UBS now forecasts that the global installed base for the iPhone will grow to about 1,4 billion units by 2025, and 1,5 billion units by 2027.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e75575a411522500ccd4424fcb699c23\" alt=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" title=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/><span>UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UBS Evidence Lab</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also Piper Sandler conducted a survey (teens) that confirmed that confirmed UBS' findings that iPhone ownership is at near all time levels, with continued strong purchase intention going forward. Piper Sandler's equity research team surveyed a total of 5,690 teenagers across 47 states in the U.S, with an average household income slightly below $67,691 (less than national average of close to $70,000) and an average age of 16.2 years. According to Piper research, an impressive 87% of U.S. teenagers own an iPhone, and over 25% of these teenagers show intention to upgrade their current iPhone to a iPhone 14 during the Spring/Summer period.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01324121f34fb591424a4bc492eb8dbe\" alt=\"Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone\" title=\"Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"330\"/><span>Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Piper Sandler Spring Survey</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Services Ecosystem Continues To Grow</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The revenue share of Apple's services ecosystem now accounts for approximately 20% of the company's total topline. Again referencing UBS' iPhone survey, the adoption of Apple Services shows incremental improvement. Apple's major offerings such as Apple Music and iCloud continue to exhibit the highest attachment and growth rates, while the respective rates for Arcade, News+, TV+, and Fitness appear to plateaued at levels lower levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19b750eed34af76e40f29e27d900f96e\" alt=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" title=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"470\"/><span>UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UBS Evidence Lab</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Broadly speaking, as long as the iPhone is doing well, Apple's services ecosystem is also likely to do well, given the integrated nature of hardware plus services. The UBS survey appears to confirm the thesis: approximately 60% of respondents highlighted that they would see it as very inconvenient to leave Apple's services ecosystem, even if they would like to switch to another smartphone.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple Pushes To Diversify Manufacturing Footprint</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While the global demand for iPhones and other Apple hardware products is likely to remain robust for the foreseeable future, analysts should not forget to consider the supply chain necessary to serve this demand. With that frame of context, Apple is reportedly intensifying its efforts to diversify its manufacturing footprint in Asia. This move is said to be driven by concerns over potential risks arising from escalating geopolitical tensions, and coincides with reports that Apple is pressuring its suppliers to accelerate diversification beyond China. With that frame of reference, Apple's largest supplier, Foxconn, is reported to be expanding production in India, including a substantial $700 million investment in a new plant. According to JPM's Global Technology team, the current estimate is that by 2025, approximately 25% of Apple products will be manufactured outside of China, a significant increase from the current level of less than 5%. Vietnam and India are reportedly emerging as preferred countries of choice for Apple's manufacturing diversification strategy.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Conclusion</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In summary, Apple's business fundamentals are experiencing mixed trends. While demand for Mac computers has declined significantly, the iPhone continues to be the primary revenue driver for the company, with a healthy demand and high retention rates in the United States and China. The Services ecosystem, which accounts for a significant portion of Apple's revenue, is also showing incremental growth, with Apple Music and iCloud leading the way.

Now, with Apple stock trading very close to this level and the FY 2023 Q2 earnings expected for May 4th, I feel it is a good time to revisit the investment thesis for Apple.For reference, Apple stock has appreciated 32% YTD, as compared to a gain of only 8% for the S&P 500 (SP500). Needless to say, this is quite an amazing outperformance for a >$2.6 trillion dollar mega-cap business.AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023Seeking AlphaI view Apple's Q2 2023 earnings estimates as reasonable, given continued strength in the company's iPhone business. But, as a function of valuation--with AAPL stock's estimated 2023 P/E priced close x30--I am cautious to assign a 'Buy' recommendation. Apple remains a 'Hold' for me with a $164.85/share target price.Apple's Q2 2023 PreviewBased on data collected by Seeking Alpha, as of April 16th, a total of 33 analysts have provided their projections for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 results. These projections indicate that Apple's total sales for the quarter are expected to fall within the range of $89.8 billion to $98.9 billion, with an average estimate of $92.8. Based on the average analyst consensus estimate, it is suggested that Apple's Q2 2023 sales may contract by approximately 4.5% YoY as compared to the same quarter in FY 2022.Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimatesSeeking AlphaFurthermore, analysts have provided earnings per share estimates ranging from $1.35 to $1.56, with an average of $1.43. While the range of EPS estimates is quite wide, assuming the average of $1.43, analysts anticipate that Apple's Q2 FY 2023 earnings will contract by about 6.8% versus the Q2 FY 2022 period.Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimatesSeeking AlphaReflecting on analysts' estimates for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 quarter, it is worth noting that, both revenue and EPS estimates have started to trend downwards since early 2023, indicating a divergence of how analysts and markets view Apple's business fundamentals (AAPL stock up >30% YTD).A Review of Apple's Business FundamentalsMac demand is crashingApple Inc.'s personal computer shipments dropped by 40.5% in the first quarter, marking the worst decline since the end of 2000, due to sluggish demand and an industrywide glut, particularly in the consumer market. This decline is part of a broader trend in the PC market, with all PC makers experiencing a slump of 29% in shipments as the demand surge driven by pandemic-era remote work subsided. Apple, which had been relatively resilient during the pandemic, is preparing to launch new models later this year in hopes of spurring demand, while analysts predict a potential rebound for PC makers in 2024 due to aging hardware replacement and an improving global economy.The iPhone Is Still KingInvestors should consider that the iPhone accounts for about 52% of Apple's total sales, and an even larger share of profits. And a weak demand for the Mac is thus less concerning, accounting for only about 10% of Apple's total sales.Apple revenue exposureApple FY 2022 reporting, Author's graphThe good news is that the demand for iPhones remains healthy, despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.Notably, analysts from UBS (UBS Evidence Lab proprietary research) conducted a comprehensive survey of approximately 4,000 iPhone users in four different regions across the world to gain insights into the installed base and adoption of various Apple services.The survey revealed that as of March 2023 the iPhone retention rate in the United States has increased to 83%, as compared to 81% in 2022 (a notable increase of 200 basis points), and as compared to about 76% pre-COVID. In China, the iPhone retention rate has also rise, to 44%, versus approximately 29% two years ago.Moreover, the survey highlights that approximately 45% of all iPhone users own devices below the iPhone 12 generation, and about 20% own devices below the iPhone 11 generation, suggesting the likelihood of a strong upgrade cycle within the next 12-24 months.UBS now forecasts that the global installed base for the iPhone will grow to about 1,4 billion units by 2025, and 1,5 billion units by 2027.UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the IphoneUBS Evidence LabAlso Piper Sandler conducted a survey (teens) that confirmed that confirmed UBS' findings that iPhone ownership is at near all time levels, with continued strong purchase intention going forward. Piper Sandler's equity research team surveyed a total of 5,690 teenagers across 47 states in the U.S, with an average household income slightly below $67,691 (less than national average of close to $70,000) and an average age of 16.2 years. According to Piper research, an impressive 87% of U.S. teenagers own an iPhone, and over 25% of these teenagers show intention to upgrade their current iPhone to a iPhone 14 during the Spring/Summer period.Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhonePiper Sandler Spring SurveyThe Services Ecosystem Continues To GrowThe revenue share of Apple's services ecosystem now accounts for approximately 20% of the company's total topline. Again referencing UBS' iPhone survey, the adoption of Apple Services shows incremental improvement. Apple's major offerings such as Apple Music and iCloud continue to exhibit the highest attachment and growth rates, while the respective rates for Arcade, News+, TV+, and Fitness appear to plateaued at levels lower levels.UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the IphoneUBS Evidence LabBroadly speaking, as long as the iPhone is doing well, Apple's services ecosystem is also likely to do well, given the integrated nature of hardware plus services. The UBS survey appears to confirm the thesis: approximately 60% of respondents highlighted that they would see it as very inconvenient to leave Apple's services ecosystem, even if they would like to switch to another smartphone.Apple Pushes To Diversify Manufacturing FootprintWhile the global demand for iPhones and other Apple hardware products is likely to remain robust for the foreseeable future, analysts should not forget to consider the supply chain necessary to serve this demand. With that frame of context, Apple is reportedly intensifying its efforts to diversify its manufacturing footprint in Asia. This move is said to be driven by concerns over potential risks arising from escalating geopolitical tensions, and coincides with reports that Apple is pressuring its suppliers to accelerate diversification beyond China. With that frame of reference, Apple's largest supplier, Foxconn, is reported to be expanding production in India, including a substantial $700 million investment in a new plant. According to JPM's Global Technology team, the current estimate is that by 2025, approximately 25% of Apple products will be manufactured outside of China, a significant increase from the current level of less than 5%. Vietnam and India are reportedly emerging as preferred countries of choice for Apple's manufacturing diversification strategy.ConclusionIn summary, Apple's business fundamentals are experiencing mixed trends. While demand for Mac computers has declined significantly, the iPhone continues to be the primary revenue driver for the company, with a healthy demand and high retention rates in the United States and China. The Services ecosystem, which accounts for a significant portion of Apple's revenue, is also showing incremental growth, with Apple Music and iCloud leading the way. Additionally, customer loyalty to Apple's ecosystem remains strong.Based on the sustained success of Apple's iPhone business, I find the Q2 2023 earnings estimates to be reasonable, despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop for consumer goods. However, considering the current valuation of AAPL stock with an estimated P/E ratio of around 30x for 2023, I exercise caution in recommending a 'Buy' rating.This article is written by Cavenagh Research for reference only.

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks pull back on recent macro news, investors are willing to keep bidding up TSLA.</p><p>With all this in mind, you may be wondering what lies ahead for the company from here. In the near term, due to several different factors, shares of this EV play could stay on an upward trajectory.</p><p>However, while TSLA may keep performing well in 2023, investment returns over a longer timeframe (like, say, two years) could end up being far less impressive than many fans of the stock currently expect.</p><p>Let’s dive into my Tesla price prediction for 2025.</p><h2>TSLA Stock Should Stay Elevated (For Now)</h2><p>I’ve expressed skepticism in recent coverage, but I’ll admit that there’s plenty in play that could potentially keep this top EV stock at elevated prices.</p><p>For instance, with Tesla’s much-awaited “Investor Day” just a few weeks away (March 1), more investors could continue to jump into TSLA stock, expecting that the event will include an unveiling of plans for its third-generation vehicle platform. This next vehicle platform could enable Tesla to further reduce manufacturing costs.</p><p>Besides boosting its chances of winning an emerging “EV price war,” production cost reductions may also enable Tesla to introduce lower-priced vehicle models for the mass market. And alongside that, two other things may help TSLA stock sustain (and possibly grow) its current valuation.</p><p>First, upcoming delivery numbers could indicate that Tesla’s recent vehicle price cuts are creating significant demand, which would suggest the company has a shot of hitting CEO Elon Musk’s deliveries stretch goal of 2 million vehicles this year. Second, if the next few quarterly reports indicate that price cuts are not having a big impact on margins — or that increased demand outweighs the impact — that could also bolster investor confidence.</p><h2>Challenges Ahead in 2024 and 2025</h2><p>So, TSLA stock may stay in the fast lane during 2023. However, next year may also be a different story as well as the year after that. Why? Although Tesla is perhaps successfully keeping the competition at bay today, that may not be the case in the years ahead.</p><p>With the aforementioned “EV price war” only in its early stages, it’s unclear how far automakers will go in order to capture a larger piece of the market. Traditional automakers are also tweaking their dealership-based sales models, which could also minimize the edge Tesla gains from its direct-to-consumer model.</p><p>As old school competitors play catch up over the next two years, Tesla could see a serious impact on its future growth, not to mention margins. The company could keep growing at a double-digit clip, but it’s possible said growth decelerates greatly in 2024 and 2025. In turn, this stands to have a big effect on TSLA stock’s future performance.</p><p>Right now, with rising confidence that Tesla will be able to get back to 50% annualized growth, shares have propelled back up to a very high valuation (50 times trailing earnings). If growth decelerates, this valuation will likely contract in a huge way.</p><h2>My Price Prediction for Tesla in 2025</h2><p>Don’t get me wrong. After years of trading at a tech stock valuation, I don’t think TSLA stock is headed toward a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in line with traditional automakers (less than 10 times earnings).</p><p>However, it’s not far-fetched to believe that, as growth slows, Tesla’s valuation will contract to 20 or 30 times earnings. Per current forecasts, Tesla is expected to earn $6.68 per share by 2025. Apply a 30 times multiple and that yields a price of around $200 per share.</p><p>Sure, factors like the rollout of new vehicle models could outweigh negatives to growth like competition. Yet, looking at the Cybertruck delays as precedent, lower-priced models may be many years away from launch. Hitting consensus may be the best case scenario here.</p><p>With that in mind, I predict that TSLA stock in 2025 will (at best) trade at prices at or near current levels.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks pull back on recent macro news, investors are willing to keep bidding up TSLA.With all this in mind, you may be wondering what lies ahead for the company from here. In the near term, due to several different factors, shares of this EV play could stay on an upward trajectory.However, while TSLA may keep performing well in 2023, investment returns over a longer timeframe (like, say, two years) could end up being far less impressive than many fans of the stock currently expect.Let’s dive into my Tesla price prediction for 2025.TSLA Stock Should Stay Elevated (For Now)I’ve expressed skepticism in recent coverage, but I’ll admit that there’s plenty in play that could potentially keep this top EV stock at elevated prices.For instance, with Tesla’s much-awaited “Investor Day” just a few weeks away (March 1), more investors could continue to jump into TSLA stock, expecting that the event will include an unveiling of plans for its third-generation vehicle platform. This next vehicle platform could enable Tesla to further reduce manufacturing costs.Besides boosting its chances of winning an emerging “EV price war,” production cost reductions may also enable Tesla to introduce lower-priced vehicle models for the mass market. And alongside that, two other things may help TSLA stock sustain (and possibly grow) its current valuation.First, upcoming delivery numbers could indicate that Tesla’s recent vehicle price cuts are creating significant demand, which would suggest the company has a shot of hitting CEO Elon Musk’s deliveries stretch goal of 2 million vehicles this year. Second, if the next few quarterly reports indicate that price cuts are not having a big impact on margins — or that increased demand outweighs the impact — that could also bolster investor confidence.Challenges Ahead in 2024 and 2025So, TSLA stock may stay in the fast lane during 2023. However, next year may also be a different story as well as the year after that. Why? Although Tesla is perhaps successfully keeping the competition at bay today, that may not be the case in the years ahead.With the aforementioned “EV price war” only in its early stages, it’s unclear how far automakers will go in order to capture a larger piece of the market. Traditional automakers are also tweaking their dealership-based sales models, which could also minimize the edge Tesla gains from its direct-to-consumer model.As old school competitors play catch up over the next two years, Tesla could see a serious impact on its future growth, not to mention margins. The company could keep growing at a double-digit clip, but it’s possible said growth decelerates greatly in 2024 and 2025. In turn, this stands to have a big effect on TSLA stock’s future performance.Right now, with rising confidence that Tesla will be able to get back to 50% annualized growth, shares have propelled back up to a very high valuation (50 times trailing earnings). If growth decelerates, this valuation will likely contract in a huge way.My Price Prediction for Tesla in 2025Don’t get me wrong. After years of trading at a tech stock valuation, I don’t think TSLA stock is headed toward a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in line with traditional automakers (less than 10 times earnings).However, it’s not far-fetched to believe that, as growth slows, Tesla’s valuation will contract to 20 or 30 times earnings. Per current forecasts, Tesla is expected to earn $6.68 per share by 2025. Apply a 30 times multiple and that yields a price of around $200 per share.Sure, factors like the rollout of new vehicle models could outweigh negatives to growth like competition. Yet, looking at the Cybertruck delays as precedent, lower-priced models may be many years away from launch. Hitting consensus may be the best case scenario here.With that in mind, I predict that TSLA stock in 2025 will (at best) trade at prices at or near current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954861987,"gmtCreate":1676248959049,"gmtModify":1676248962307,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","listText":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","text":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":16,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954861987","repostId":"2310672034","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2310672034","pubTimestamp":1676258937,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2310672034?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-13 11:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ChatGPT Sparked an AI Craze. How to Cut Through the Hype","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2310672034","media":"marketwatch","summary":"It has been more than 70 years since the English computer scientist Alan Turing wrote a landmark pap","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It has been more than 70 years since the English computer scientist Alan Turing wrote a landmark paper laying out the Turing Test for assessing whether machines can think.</p><p>It turns out that a better question is whether they can sell advertising.</p><p>Over the past two months, Wall Street has become preoccupied with ChatGPT, the now very popular chatbot from start-up OpenAI. ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 as a free service, and the world has been dazzled by its ability to answer questions and create original materials, generating everything from letters and resumes to computer code and Shakespearean-style sonnets. ChatGPT reached more than 100 million users in January, hitting that milestone even faster than TikTok.</p><p>The viral success has spurred questions across Wall Street about how tech titans would respond. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>, which made an initial investment in OpenAI in 2019, recently agreed to boost its stake by $10 billion, spurring speculation about how the software giant would fold so-called generative artificial intelligence into its products.</p><p>We got the answer this past week. On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled a new version of its Bing search engine, infused with natural-language capability from OpenAI. The implications were market-shaking, mostly for Google parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a>, which could see its dominance in internet search challenged for the first time in decades.</p><p>“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all—search,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this past week.</p><p>A day before Microsoft’s announcement, Google unveiled its own AI-based chatbot, called Bard. The company also intends to add generative AI functionality to its own core search engine. This past Wednesday, Alphabet hosted a low-key search-related event in Paris to show off AI-related updates to maps, image search, and language translation. But the market came away uninspired.</p><p>Some observers noted a small error in one of the Bard search examples, which had said that the first photograph of an exoplanet was taken by the Webb space telescope. That isn’t accurate. Also noted by many: While Microsoft CEO Nadella led the Bing launch, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t participate in Google’s Paris event. It was, one fund manager said, a Bard bust.</p><p>Analysts and investors spent the rest of the week debating a once impossible idea: that a newly energized Bing, which rolled out in 2009, could shift the balance of power in the internet search market.</p><p>Google currently controls 93% of the search market, versus just 3% for Bing, according to Statcounter. Google, as a result, has near-total domination of search-related advertising. The company is currently fighting a pair of Justice Department lawsuits charging that the company’s search and advertising businesses violate federal antitrust law. The first suit, filed in 2020, focuses specifically on search. It goes to trial later this year. Just a few weeks ago, the government filed a second case, this time related to the online advertising market. Investors appear to be less worried about the litigation, though, than they are about the potential that Google might lose some of its search prowess to an AI-powered version of Bing.</p><h2>AI’s Long History</h2><p>The idea of creating a search engine that works with natural language has been around for decades; it was the goal of search engine Ask Jeeves, founded in 1996, which morphed into Ask.com and is now part of internet holding company IAC(IAC).</p><p>“Ask Jeeves is a provider of natural-language question-answering services on the internet for consumers and companies, establishing a new way to interact with the World Wide Web,” the company said in the prospectus for its 1999 initial public offering.</p><p>Ask Jeeves couldn’t quite deliver, undermined by the early days of internet infrastructure. The company never threatened Google. But computing has changed dramatically over the past 25 years—Microsoft, Google, and others benefit from far more powerful processors and algorithms, new techniques in AI and machine learning, and the vast reach and capabilities of cloud computing.</p><h2>The New AI Portfolio</h2><h3>The arrival of ChatGPT has investors looking for ways to invest in AI.

Most of that goes to Alphabet, which reported $163 billion in search advertising last year, roughly 60% of the company’s overall revenue. Microsoft doesn’t break out Bing’s ad revenue, but if you assume it monetizes search at a comparable rate to Google, you’d get single-digit billions.</p><p>On the Microsoft call, Philippe Ockenden, the CFO for its Windows, Devices, and Search business, pointed out that “for every one point of share gain in the search advertising market, it’s a $2 billion revenue opportunity for our advertising business.”</p><p>And that’s what makes Alphabet investors nervous. The stock fell 12% in the days following Microsoft’s announcement, shedding about $160 billion in market value. Alphabet trades at roughly four times next year’s expected sales, so the market’s math suggests $40 billion of high-margin revenue flipping to Bing from Google.</p><p>In short, Wall Street watched the Bing demonstration, listened to the Google event, and concluded that Google finally has a real rival in search.</p><p>Unlike the typical pattern in tech disruption, this isn’t a threat from a feisty start-up. Google is coming under attack from an emboldened version of the world’s largest software company.</p><p>And there is a related problem: While Google is busy fending off Bing, the addition of new AI capabilities could boost the company’s search-related costs while eating into the number of queries that can support ads. “The bigger issue and fear here for Alphabet investors is the potential for rising [capital expenditures] and compute intensity associated with this new vector of search capability,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson wrote in a research note.</p><p>Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimates that natural-language queries could be five times more expensive for Google to complete than under its current search model. For every 10% of Google’s search queries that switch to language models, Nowak concludes that the company’s operating expenses increase by $1.2 billion. If 50% of queries end up using natural language, Alphabet’s costs would increase by $6 billion, Nowak calculates, slashing pretax earnings by 6%.</p><h2><b>The Speculative Bets</b></h2><p>Until this past week, most of the AI action was taking place outside the realm of Big Tech, with investors scrambling to find more direct ways to play the theme. The frenzy has driven up prices of small-cap stocks in a way that feels similar to other recent Wall Street manias, from cryptocurrencies and 3-D printing to fake meat and cannabis.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AI\">C3.ai</a>, a provider of AI software tools for enterprise applications, has surged 101% this year, aided by the company’s plans to offer a search interface for its software that includes technology from both OpenAI and Google.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BZFD\">BuzzFeed</a> shares have rallied 145% this year on news that it plans to use ChatGPT to create content for its website.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOUN\">SoundHound AI</a>, which this past week announced a voice-activated generative AI application for automotive and other end markets, has more than tripled since the ChatGPT launch. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BBAI\">BigBear.ai Holdings</a>, which makes AI-based analytical tools for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, has more than quintupled over the same span. Both SoundHound and BigBear have taken advantage of the new interest in their shares by selling more stock.</p><p>Investors should be wary. Work on AI software has been happening for decades. The technology is complex and resource-intensive. In Alphabet’s case, the launch of Bard is part of a yearslong effort. The company bought the London-based AI software company DeepMind in 2014, for a reported $500 million-plus. Google has been including AI and machine learning in many software products for more than two decades. AI shows up in Google Translate, in the company’s core search service, in Google Lens visual search, in Google Maps, and in Gmail, among other places.</p><p>“AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,” Alphabet’s Pichai wrote in his blog post announcing Bard. “It’s critical that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way,” he added.</p><p>That’s a pretty obvious dig at ChatGPT, which has come under attack for not always delivering accurate information—and for creating opportunities for students of all ages to bypass the time-honored tradition of writing papers and taking tests.</p><h2>The AI Portfolio</h2><p>For investors, there are other AI plays to consider that don’t involve the risk of speculative small-caps. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a> cites AI as one of the company’s two main priorities, along with hybrid cloud software. Remember when the IBM Watson mainframe took on human contestants in <i>Jeopardy</i>? That was in 2010. Big Blue has no intention to start a search engine or create consumer-facing chat apps, but the company is pushing to make artificial intelligence and machine learning ubiquitous elements of enterprise computing.</p><p>Sriram Raghavan, an IBM vice president who runs AI research across the company’s research labs, says the company has been developing “foundation models,” an approach that applies AI across industry-specific applications. In effect, IBM is applying the same kind of technology used to create large-language models found in chatbots to other realms, like writing code, analyzing geospatial data, molecular discovery, and business automation.</p><p>The complexity of AI will also boost demand for cloud-computing hardware, and the chips that power them. David Readerman, who runs a Bay Area hedge fund called Endurance Capital Partners, thinks Nvidia ( NVDA ) is the best AI play—his guess is that 75% of AI workloads will be on servers using Nvidia’s graphics processors.</p><p>The AI trend should also benefit Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ). In a keynote address at the CES trade show in January, AMD CEO Lisa Su stood in front of a large screen that declared “AI is the defining megatrend in technology.”</p><p>“AI has been around for quite some time,” Su said in an interview with <i>Barron’s</i> last month, “but we’re at an inflection point, touching all of our technologies, from chips for consumer devices up to the largest chips we build for data centers. You need AI capability in every one of those devices.”</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>, which dominates the market for creativity tools like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, sees the trend toward generative AI—which includes images as well as text—expanding its market as more people become creators. “We’re in a golden age of content creation, and generative AI will only accelerate that,” Adobe CFO Dan Durn recently told <i>Barron’s</i>.</p><p>Meanwhile, Facebook parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> has promised to roll out generative AI tools of its own later this year.</p><p>“AI is the foundation of our discovery engine and our ads business, and we also think it’s going to enable many new products and additional transformations within our apps,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. “Generative AI is an extremely exciting new area…and one of my goals for Meta is to build on our research to become a leader in generative AI in addition to our leading work in recommendation AI.”</p><p>But that all looks small in comparison to the suddenly competitive market for internet search.</p><p>“Bing is better than Google search,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria wrote in a research note this past week—words few on Wall Street likely ever expected to hear.</p><p>Luria reiterated his Buy rating on Microsoft stock while boosting his target price to $325, from $280, suggesting upside of 25% from Microsoft’s recent close. “We believe consumers will be impressed,” he wrote after Bing’s recent demonstrations. “[T]he added capabilities made possible by the OpenAI integration make these tools considerably more useful, and we’re impressed by the sleek integration.” He sees a potential for “permanent share shift” in search.</p><p>Longtime internet analyst Mark Mahaney, now at Evecore ISI, maintains his Outperform rating on Alphabet shares, but nonetheless concedes that the search market has entered a new phase. “At the margin, there is no question that Microsoft’s aggressive move into Generative AI and its cadence of product development has presented a real risk to Google’s market position,” he recently wrote.</p><p>The AI frenzy comes at a notable time for tech companies, which saw their stocks tumble in 2022. Growth has slowed, the market for IPOs has all but disappeared, and regulatory scrutiny is mounting.

ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 as a free service, and the world has been dazzled by its ability to answer questions and create original materials, generating everything from letters and resumes to computer code and Shakespearean-style sonnets. ChatGPT reached more than 100 million users in January, hitting that milestone even faster than TikTok.The viral success has spurred questions across Wall Street about how tech titans would respond. Microsoft, which made an initial investment in OpenAI in 2019, recently agreed to boost its stake by $10 billion, spurring speculation about how the software giant would fold so-called generative artificial intelligence into its products.We got the answer this past week. On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled a new version of its Bing search engine, infused with natural-language capability from OpenAI. The implications were market-shaking, mostly for Google parent Alphabet, which could see its dominance in internet search challenged for the first time in decades.“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all—search,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this past week.A day before Microsoft’s announcement, Google unveiled its own AI-based chatbot, called Bard. The company also intends to add generative AI functionality to its own core search engine. This past Wednesday, Alphabet hosted a low-key search-related event in Paris to show off AI-related updates to maps, image search, and language translation. But the market came away uninspired.Some observers noted a small error in one of the Bard search examples, which had said that the first photograph of an exoplanet was taken by the Webb space telescope. That isn’t accurate. Also noted by many: While Microsoft CEO Nadella led the Bing launch, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t participate in Google’s Paris event. It was, one fund manager said, a Bard bust.Analysts and investors spent the rest of the week debating a once impossible idea: that a newly energized Bing, which rolled out in 2009, could shift the balance of power in the internet search market.Google currently controls 93% of the search market, versus just 3% for Bing, according to Statcounter. Google, as a result, has near-total domination of search-related advertising. The company is currently fighting a pair of Justice Department lawsuits charging that the company’s search and advertising businesses violate federal antitrust law. The first suit, filed in 2020, focuses specifically on search. It goes to trial later this year. Just a few weeks ago, the government filed a second case, this time related to the online advertising market. Investors appear to be less worried about the litigation, though, than they are about the potential that Google might lose some of its search prowess to an AI-powered version of Bing.AI’s Long HistoryThe idea of creating a search engine that works with natural language has been around for decades; it was the goal of search engine Ask Jeeves, founded in 1996, which morphed into Ask.com and is now part of internet holding company IAC(IAC).“Ask Jeeves is a provider of natural-language question-answering services on the internet for consumers and companies, establishing a new way to interact with the World Wide Web,” the company said in the prospectus for its 1999 initial public offering.Ask Jeeves couldn’t quite deliver, undermined by the early days of internet infrastructure. The company never threatened Google. But computing has changed dramatically over the past 25 years—Microsoft, Google, and others benefit from far more powerful processors and algorithms, new techniques in AI and machine learning, and the vast reach and capabilities of cloud computing.The New AI PortfolioThe arrival of ChatGPT has investors looking for ways to invest in AI. Here are some of the key players.Company / TickerMarket ValueYTD ChangeCommentON THE FRONT LINESMicrosoft / MSFT$1.96 trillion9.9%Bing deal with OpenAI shook up the search market.Alphabet / GOOGL$1.227.7Is adding AI to Search, but faces new threat in Bing.THE ARMS DEALERSNvidia / NVDA$549 billion52.9%Its graphics processors are used in many AI applications.Adobe / ADBE17211.7Creative-software giant sees boost from generative AI.Advanced Micro Devices / AMD13428.5Launched new AI-focused chip at CES.IBM / IBM121-5.1Remember Watson? IBM is still innovating in AI apps.THE SPECULATIVE BETSC3.ai / AI$2.5 billion101%Enterprise AI firm launched ChatGPT-based search app.SoundHound AI / SOUN962 million126Its AI-based voice software is used in cars and restaurants.BigBear.ai Holdings / BBAI682682Makes AI-based analytics, mostly for DoD and spy agencies.BuzzFeed / BZFD235145News site announced plans to post content created by ChatGPT.Source: BloombergThe most important innovation is the development of generative AI built on large language models, algorithms that can summarize, translate, predict, and generate text and other content based on massive sets of data.The technology has given Microsoft—at long last—an opportunity to become relevant in the search market.On a conference call with analysts following the Bing press event, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood estimated that search advertising accounts for 40% of the $500 billion digital ad market, or about $200 billion. Most of that goes to Alphabet, which reported $163 billion in search advertising last year, roughly 60% of the company’s overall revenue. Microsoft doesn’t break out Bing’s ad revenue, but if you assume it monetizes search at a comparable rate to Google, you’d get single-digit billions.On the Microsoft call, Philippe Ockenden, the CFO for its Windows, Devices, and Search business, pointed out that “for every one point of share gain in the search advertising market, it’s a $2 billion revenue opportunity for our advertising business.”And that’s what makes Alphabet investors nervous. The stock fell 12% in the days following Microsoft’s announcement, shedding about $160 billion in market value. Alphabet trades at roughly four times next year’s expected sales, so the market’s math suggests $40 billion of high-margin revenue flipping to Bing from Google.In short, Wall Street watched the Bing demonstration, listened to the Google event, and concluded that Google finally has a real rival in search.Unlike the typical pattern in tech disruption, this isn’t a threat from a feisty start-up. Google is coming under attack from an emboldened version of the world’s largest software company.And there is a related problem: While Google is busy fending off Bing, the addition of new AI capabilities could boost the company’s search-related costs while eating into the number of queries that can support ads. “The bigger issue and fear here for Alphabet investors is the potential for rising [capital expenditures] and compute intensity associated with this new vector of search capability,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson wrote in a research note.Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimates that natural-language queries could be five times more expensive for Google to complete than under its current search model. For every 10% of Google’s search queries that switch to language models, Nowak concludes that the company’s operating expenses increase by $1.2 billion. If 50% of queries end up using natural language, Alphabet’s costs would increase by $6 billion, Nowak calculates, slashing pretax earnings by 6%.The Speculative BetsUntil this past week, most of the AI action was taking place outside the realm of Big Tech, with investors scrambling to find more direct ways to play the theme. The frenzy has driven up prices of small-cap stocks in a way that feels similar to other recent Wall Street manias, from cryptocurrencies and 3-D printing to fake meat and cannabis.C3.ai, a provider of AI software tools for enterprise applications, has surged 101% this year, aided by the company’s plans to offer a search interface for its software that includes technology from both OpenAI and Google.BuzzFeed shares have rallied 145% this year on news that it plans to use ChatGPT to create content for its website.SoundHound AI, which this past week announced a voice-activated generative AI application for automotive and other end markets, has more than tripled since the ChatGPT launch. BigBear.ai Holdings, which makes AI-based analytical tools for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, has more than quintupled over the same span. Both SoundHound and BigBear have taken advantage of the new interest in their shares by selling more stock.Investors should be wary. Work on AI software has been happening for decades. The technology is complex and resource-intensive. In Alphabet’s case, the launch of Bard is part of a yearslong effort. The company bought the London-based AI software company DeepMind in 2014, for a reported $500 million-plus. Google has been including AI and machine learning in many software products for more than two decades. AI shows up in Google Translate, in the company’s core search service, in Google Lens visual search, in Google Maps, and in Gmail, among other places.“AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,” Alphabet’s Pichai wrote in his blog post announcing Bard. “It’s critical that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way,” he added.That’s a pretty obvious dig at ChatGPT, which has come under attack for not always delivering accurate information—and for creating opportunities for students of all ages to bypass the time-honored tradition of writing papers and taking tests.The AI PortfolioFor investors, there are other AI plays to consider that don’t involve the risk of speculative small-caps. IBM cites AI as one of the company’s two main priorities, along with hybrid cloud software. Remember when the IBM Watson mainframe took on human contestants in Jeopardy? That was in 2010. Big Blue has no intention to start a search engine or create consumer-facing chat apps, but the company is pushing to make artificial intelligence and machine learning ubiquitous elements of enterprise computing.Sriram Raghavan, an IBM vice president who runs AI research across the company’s research labs, says the company has been developing “foundation models,” an approach that applies AI across industry-specific applications. In effect, IBM is applying the same kind of technology used to create large-language models found in chatbots to other realms, like writing code, analyzing geospatial data, molecular discovery, and business automation.The complexity of AI will also boost demand for cloud-computing hardware, and the chips that power them. David Readerman, who runs a Bay Area hedge fund called Endurance Capital Partners, thinks Nvidia ( NVDA ) is the best AI play—his guess is that 75% of AI workloads will be on servers using Nvidia’s graphics processors.The AI trend should also benefit Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ). In a keynote address at the CES trade show in January, AMD CEO Lisa Su stood in front of a large screen that declared “AI is the defining megatrend in technology.”“AI has been around for quite some time,” Su said in an interview with Barron’s last month, “but we’re at an inflection point, touching all of our technologies, from chips for consumer devices up to the largest chips we build for data centers. You need AI capability in every one of those devices.”Adobe, which dominates the market for creativity tools like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, sees the trend toward generative AI—which includes images as well as text—expanding its market as more people become creators. “We’re in a golden age of content creation, and generative AI will only accelerate that,” Adobe CFO Dan Durn recently told Barron’s.Meanwhile, Facebook parent Meta Platforms has promised to roll out generative AI tools of its own later this year.“AI is the foundation of our discovery engine and our ads business, and we also think it’s going to enable many new products and additional transformations within our apps,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. “Generative AI is an extremely exciting new area…and one of my goals for Meta is to build on our research to become a leader in generative AI in addition to our leading work in recommendation AI.”But that all looks small in comparison to the suddenly competitive market for internet search.“Bing is better than Google search,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria wrote in a research note this past week—words few on Wall Street likely ever expected to hear.Luria reiterated his Buy rating on Microsoft stock while boosting his target price to $325, from $280, suggesting upside of 25% from Microsoft’s recent close. “We believe consumers will be impressed,” he wrote after Bing’s recent demonstrations. “[T]he added capabilities made possible by the OpenAI integration make these tools considerably more useful, and we’re impressed by the sleek integration.” He sees a potential for “permanent share shift” in search.Longtime internet analyst Mark Mahaney, now at Evecore ISI, maintains his Outperform rating on Alphabet shares, but nonetheless concedes that the search market has entered a new phase. “At the margin, there is no question that Microsoft’s aggressive move into Generative AI and its cadence of product development has presented a real risk to Google’s market position,” he recently wrote.The AI frenzy comes at a notable time for tech companies, which saw their stocks tumble in 2022. Growth has slowed, the market for IPOs has all but disappeared, and regulatory scrutiny is mounting. The tech sector could use a shot in the arm—AI may be about to deliver it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927389688,"gmtCreate":1672398538444,"gmtModify":1676538685108,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"THanks for sharing ","listText":"THanks for sharing ","text":"THanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9927389688","repostId":"2295113789","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2295113789","pubTimestamp":1672394307,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2295113789?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-12-30 17:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2295113789","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Amazon and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing are available at attractive valuations.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Federal Reserve gave the stock market a shock recently as the central bank raised interest rates once again, taking its benchmark rate to its highest level in 15 years. The Fed also suggested that it would keep raising rates in 2023 to bring down inflation.</p><p>The Fed's hawkish stance sent equities tumbling, as it was expected that the central bank would dial down rate increases in 2023 thanks to signs of cooling inflation. A high-interest-rate environment has been the stock market's undoing in 2022. The Fed would need more proof that inflation is cooling in a sustained manner.</p><p>It could get that evidence in 2023, as inflation is expected to drop to 3.2% by the end of 2023, which would be a substantial decline from 7.1% in November 2022. So it won't be surprising to see the Fed adopt a dovish stance as 2023 progresses. That's why now may be a good time to buy some beaten-down stocks from Warren Buffett's portfolio.</p><p>The <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> CEO has been active in the stock market this year despite the gloom, suggesting that he's busy putting his money to work by buying solid companies for the long run. Here are two stocks from Berkshire's portfolio that investors may want to buy while they're still down, as they could turn out to be big winners in the long run.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h2><p>E-commerce and technology giant <b>Amazon</b> has lost half of its value on the stock market this year. The company's growth has lagged thanks to a slowdown in e-commerce sales on account of surging inflation.</p><p>But with inflation expected to cool down substantially in 2023, the e-commerce business can be expected to step on the gas once again. This explains why Amazon's earnings are estimated to jump substantially next year following a sharp drop in 2022. More specifically, Amazon is expected to finish 2022 with a loss of $0.09 per share, compared with a profit of $3.24 per share in 2021, but the forecast for 2023 and 2024 shows major improvements are in the cards.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7ef8b659184ae00c4a96f8c33905911b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AMZN EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts</p><p>It is estimated that global e-commerce spending could rise to $6.5 trillion in 2023 from $5.7 trillion in 2022. That would be a nice improvement over this year's estimated decline of nearly 10%. On the other hand, Amazon's entry into a lucrative market such as advertising should be another key catalyst for the company in 2023.</p><p>Amazon's advertising revenue jumped 25% year over year in the third quarter of 2022 to $9.5 billion. Although that was less than 10% of the company's total revenue of $127 billion, it could move the needle in a bigger way for the company. Amazon's 2022 ad revenue is expected to land at $38 billion. By 2026, this figure is expected to jump to $64 billion. Throw in other growth drivers such as cloud computing, an area where Amazon dominates, and it is easy to see why the company is expected to clock 26% annual earnings growth for the next five years.</p><p>So this Warren Buffett stock could run higher in 2023 and beyond, which is why investors may want to buy it right now, as it's trading at just 1.7 times sales, which represents a discount to the <b>S&P 500</b>'s price-to-sales ratio of 2.3.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</a></h2><p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b> -- better known as TSMC -- is one of the latest additions to Buffett's portfolio. The Oracle of Omaha revealed a $4.1 billion stake in TSMC recently, and it's not surprising to see why the foundry giant has made its way into Berkshire's portfolio.</p><p>TSMC's 43% slide in 2022 means it's available at an attractive valuation. TSMC is trading at less than 14 times trailing earnings. That's lower than the S&P 500's earnings multiple of 18. Buying this semiconductor stock at this valuation looks like a no-brainer, given the terrific growth opportunity it's sitting on.</p><p>With TSMC's earnings estimated to increase at an annual pace of over 21% over the next five years, investors can consider buying it hand over fist considering the cheap valuation. After all, TSMC is the world's biggest semiconductor foundry and controls 56% share of this space, according to Counterpoint Research.</p><p>This impressive market share puts the company in a solid position to take advantage of the secular growth in semiconductors. Global semiconductor sales are estimated to exceed $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, up from $600 billion in 2021. Of course, analysts expect the industry to hit a speed bump in 2023, with industry revenue expected to decline 3.6%, but TSMC can sustain its impressive growth despite that.</p><p>TSMC's revenue has jumped nearly 45% in the first 11 months of 2022 compared with the prior-year period.

The Fed also suggested that it would keep raising rates in 2023 to bring down inflation.The Fed's hawkish stance sent equities tumbling, as it was expected that the central bank would dial down rate increases in 2023 thanks to signs of cooling inflation. A high-interest-rate environment has been the stock market's undoing in 2022. The Fed would need more proof that inflation is cooling in a sustained manner.It could get that evidence in 2023, as inflation is expected to drop to 3.2% by the end of 2023, which would be a substantial decline from 7.1% in November 2022. So it won't be surprising to see the Fed adopt a dovish stance as 2023 progresses. That's why now may be a good time to buy some beaten-down stocks from Warren Buffett's portfolio.The Berkshire Hathaway CEO has been active in the stock market this year despite the gloom, suggesting that he's busy putting his money to work by buying solid companies for the long run. Here are two stocks from Berkshire's portfolio that investors may want to buy while they're still down, as they could turn out to be big winners in the long run.1. AmazonE-commerce and technology giant Amazon has lost half of its value on the stock market this year. The company's growth has lagged thanks to a slowdown in e-commerce sales on account of surging inflation.But with inflation expected to cool down substantially in 2023, the e-commerce business can be expected to step on the gas once again. This explains why Amazon's earnings are estimated to jump substantially next year following a sharp drop in 2022. More specifically, Amazon is expected to finish 2022 with a loss of $0.09 per share, compared with a profit of $3.24 per share in 2021, but the forecast for 2023 and 2024 shows major improvements are in the cards.AMZN EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YChartsIt is estimated that global e-commerce spending could rise to $6.5 trillion in 2023 from $5.7 trillion in 2022. That would be a nice improvement over this year's estimated decline of nearly 10%. On the other hand, Amazon's entry into a lucrative market such as advertising should be another key catalyst for the company in 2023.Amazon's advertising revenue jumped 25% year over year in the third quarter of 2022 to $9.5 billion. Although that was less than 10% of the company's total revenue of $127 billion, it could move the needle in a bigger way for the company. Amazon's 2022 ad revenue is expected to land at $38 billion. By 2026, this figure is expected to jump to $64 billion. Throw in other growth drivers such as cloud computing, an area where Amazon dominates, and it is easy to see why the company is expected to clock 26% annual earnings growth for the next five years.So this Warren Buffett stock could run higher in 2023 and beyond, which is why investors may want to buy it right now, as it's trading at just 1.7 times sales, which represents a discount to the S&P 500's price-to-sales ratio of 2.3.2. Taiwan Semiconductor ManufacturingTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing -- better known as TSMC -- is one of the latest additions to Buffett's portfolio. The Oracle of Omaha revealed a $4.1 billion stake in TSMC recently, and it's not surprising to see why the foundry giant has made its way into Berkshire's portfolio.TSMC's 43% slide in 2022 means it's available at an attractive valuation. TSMC is trading at less than 14 times trailing earnings. That's lower than the S&P 500's earnings multiple of 18. Buying this semiconductor stock at this valuation looks like a no-brainer, given the terrific growth opportunity it's sitting on.With TSMC's earnings estimated to increase at an annual pace of over 21% over the next five years, investors can consider buying it hand over fist considering the cheap valuation. After all, TSMC is the world's biggest semiconductor foundry and controls 56% share of this space, according to Counterpoint Research.This impressive market share puts the company in a solid position to take advantage of the secular growth in semiconductors. Global semiconductor sales are estimated to exceed $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, up from $600 billion in 2021. Of course, analysts expect the industry to hit a speed bump in 2023, with industry revenue expected to decline 3.6%, but TSMC can sustain its impressive growth despite that.TSMC's revenue has jumped nearly 45% in the first 11 months of 2022 compared with the prior-year period. That's well above the 4% growth that the global semiconductor market is expected to reach in 2022. TSMC's diversified end markets and its dominance of the foundry market have allowed it to enjoy terrific growth in 2022, and the company's investments in advanced technologies should help it sustain the same in the future thanks to its secular growth opportunity.All this makes TSMC another top Buffett stock that investors may want to buy right now, as it may not be available for cheap once inflation cools down enough and the stock market possibly goes on a bull run in 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195657437368560,"gmtCreate":1688805297457,"gmtModify":1688805302419,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a game charger n game leader of EV cars!

So it’s already agreed to pay out 18.5% of the $4.95 billion to just one state and one medium-sized city.

But Disney is clearly a high-risk bargain stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":24,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9942658446,"gmtCreate":1681218960185,"gmtModify":1681218963823,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","listText":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","text":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9942658446","repostId":"2326772196","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2326772196","pubTimestamp":1681211478,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2326772196?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-11 19:11","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"3 Cash Cows to Buy for Passive Income in Retirement","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2326772196","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These three passive income generating stocks are great for those nearing retirement.Realty Income (O","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>These three passive income generating stocks are great for those nearing retirement.</p></li><li><p><strong>Realty Income</strong> (<strong>O</strong>): This corporation stands out as one of the most reliable providers of dividends in the financial markets.</p></li><li><p><strong>McDonald’s</strong> (<strong>MCD</strong>): The fast-food chain is likely to thrive during an economic downturn– whenever it may happen.</p></li><li><p><strong>Coca-Cola</strong> (<strong>KO</strong>): Third quarter earnings report of this beverage company reaffirmed that it is resistant to economic downturns.</p></li></ul><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f4cc525f1a2f0c1af11759ba0fde1f9\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/></p><p></p><p>Source: iQoncept/shutterstock.com</p><p>We all dream of retiring with a steady income and financial security.

Each of his tweets and messages is seen by millions of the social network's users and covered by the media.</p><p>The personality of the billionaire, and his promises to change the modes of transport of today and the future, have enabled Tesla (<b>TSLA</b>) - the manufacturer of electric vehicles of which he is the CEO and co-founder, to experience an unprecedented stock market rise for an automotive group.</p><p>Tesla's market valuation is currently at $622 billion. It is more than $400 billion than Toyota Motor (<b>TOYOF</b>), the worlds' largest carmaker in terms of sales last year. The Japanese group currently has a market value of $188 billion. Musk inspires investors with enormous confidence, which justifies this valuation of Tesla, which is not viewed the same way as its rivals. The automaker is seen more as a tech group than a car manufacturer.</p><p>Basically, the billionaire does not need anyone else to establish the power and notoriety of Tesla. He embodies the brand, and as long as he is in charge, investors should continue to push the company's stock to the top.</p><h2>Buffett Is a Shareholder of a Chinese Rival of Musk</h2><p>While he has the confidence of many investors, there is one who is missing. This is the legendary investor Warren Buffett, whose philosophy is to understand a company's business before investing in it.</p><p>But the Oracle of Omaha, as Buffett is nicknamed, invested in BYD, Tesla's big Chinese competitor. BYD sold more clean vehicles than Musk's company last year. But Tesla remains the world leader when only electric vehicles are taken into account, because BYD also sells hybrid vehicles -- gasoline + electric motorization.</p><p>Buffett, via his holding Berkshire Hathaway (<b>BRK.A</b>), invested in BYD in 2008, by acquiring 225 million shares, equivalent to about $232 million. Since then, the investment has grown substantially, with BYD's stock price rising significantly over the years.</p><p>For several months, however, the billionaire has started to reduce his stake in BYD. Berkshire has sold nearly 95 million of its original 225 million shares of the company, after selling another 4.235 million shares, worth nearly $140 million last month, the firm announced in a regulatory filing early this month.</p><p>The holding remains one of the company's biggest shareholders with 130.3 million shares, representing about a 12% stake in the Chinese group.</p><p>It was in this context that a Twitter user asked which company Buffett should invest in, given that Berkshire Hathaway ended 2022 with a big war chest. Indeed, the holding's cash mountain amounted to $128.65 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, up from nearly $109 billion in the third quarter.</p><p>"Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway now has over $128 billion dollars in cash, what stocks should they buy?" the Twitter user asked.</p><p>Musk immediately replied that the holding company should invest in Tesla.</p><p>"Starts with a T …" the billionaire said.</p><h2>Lunch with Charlie Munger</h2><p>He then explained that if Berkshire Hathaway had seized the opportunity to invest in Tesla in 2008, the company would have made a huge profit today, because Tesla was then valued at $200 million. Its market value is now more than $600 billion. Tesla's market value had even reached $1 trillion in October 2021 and also last March.</p><p>"Munger could’ve invested in Tesla at ~$200M valuation when I had lunch with him in late 2008," Musk added.</p><p>Charlie Munger is Buffett's right-hand man and vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. This is not the first time that Musk has mentioned what he considers a missed opportunity for Berkshire Hathaway. Last year, he said that Munger told him that Tesla would fail, going back to 2009.</p><p>"I was at a lunch with Munger in 2009 where he told the whole table all the ways Tesla would fail," the tech mogul posted on Feb.16, 2022.

Each of his tweets and messages is seen by millions of the social network's users and covered by the media.The personality of the billionaire, and his promises to change the modes of transport of today and the future, have enabled Tesla (TSLA) - the manufacturer of electric vehicles of which he is the CEO and co-founder, to experience an unprecedented stock market rise for an automotive group.Tesla's market valuation is currently at $622 billion. It is more than $400 billion than Toyota Motor (TOYOF), the worlds' largest carmaker in terms of sales last year. The Japanese group currently has a market value of $188 billion. Musk inspires investors with enormous confidence, which justifies this valuation of Tesla, which is not viewed the same way as its rivals. The automaker is seen more as a tech group than a car manufacturer.Basically, the billionaire does not need anyone else to establish the power and notoriety of Tesla. He embodies the brand, and as long as he is in charge, investors should continue to push the company's stock to the top.Buffett Is a Shareholder of a Chinese Rival of MuskWhile he has the confidence of many investors, there is one who is missing. This is the legendary investor Warren Buffett, whose philosophy is to understand a company's business before investing in it.But the Oracle of Omaha, as Buffett is nicknamed, invested in BYD, Tesla's big Chinese competitor. BYD sold more clean vehicles than Musk's company last year. But Tesla remains the world leader when only electric vehicles are taken into account, because BYD also sells hybrid vehicles -- gasoline + electric motorization.Buffett, via his holding Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), invested in BYD in 2008, by acquiring 225 million shares, equivalent to about $232 million. Since then, the investment has grown substantially, with BYD's stock price rising significantly over the years.For several months, however, the billionaire has started to reduce his stake in BYD. Berkshire has sold nearly 95 million of its original 225 million shares of the company, after selling another 4.235 million shares, worth nearly $140 million last month, the firm announced in a regulatory filing early this month.The holding remains one of the company's biggest shareholders with 130.3 million shares, representing about a 12% stake in the Chinese group.It was in this context that a Twitter user asked which company Buffett should invest in, given that Berkshire Hathaway ended 2022 with a big war chest. Indeed, the holding's cash mountain amounted to $128.65 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, up from nearly $109 billion in the third quarter.\"Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway now has over $128 billion dollars in cash, what stocks should they buy?\" the Twitter user asked.Musk immediately replied that the holding company should invest in Tesla.\"Starts with a T …\" the billionaire said.Lunch with Charlie MungerHe then explained that if Berkshire Hathaway had seized the opportunity to invest in Tesla in 2008, the company would have made a huge profit today, because Tesla was then valued at $200 million. Its market value is now more than $600 billion. Tesla's market value had even reached $1 trillion in October 2021 and also last March.\"Munger could’ve invested in Tesla at ~$200M valuation when I had lunch with him in late 2008,\" Musk added.Charlie Munger is Buffett's right-hand man and vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. This is not the first time that Musk has mentioned what he considers a missed opportunity for Berkshire Hathaway. Last year, he said that Munger told him that Tesla would fail, going back to 2009.\"I was at a lunch with Munger in 2009 where he told the whole table all the ways Tesla would fail,\" the tech mogul posted on Feb.16, 2022. \"Made me quite sad, but I told him I agreed with all those reasons & that we would probably die, but it was worth trying anyway.\"Musk does not seem to have held a grudge against Munger and Berkshire Hathaway. An investment by the holding company in Tesla would be a huge victory for Musk, because it would send a strong and reassuring message about Tesla both to the traditional financial establishment and to retail investors, who admire Buffett's strokes of financial genius.But Munger recently reiterated that BYD is way ahead of Tesla.When asked recently whether he prefers BYD over Tesla, Munger's response was emphatic. He pointed out that last year, while Musk's company lowered its vehicle prices in China, BYD was actually able to charge more.\"That's easy, Tesla last year reduced its prices in China twice while BYD increased its prices. BYD is so ahead of Tesla in China it's almost ridiculous. If you count all the manufacturing space BYD has in China to make cars, it would amount to a big percentage of all the land in Manhattan Island,\" Munger said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4139784304050082","authorId":"4139784304050082","name":"DANF","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"Depends on which paint industry you are in.

And you'd have a finger or two left over.</p><p><b>Apple</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Alphabet</b> are all clearly above the threshold, and <b>Amazon</b> isn't too far away from the $1 trillion mark. But there are other stocks that could join the exclusive club in the not-too-distant future. I predict the following three stocks will also be worth over $1 trillion by 2030.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>In my view, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (BRK.A) (BRK.B) is the obvious top choice to be the next stock with a $1 trillion market cap. Berkshire currently ranks behind Amazon as the stock that's closest to the magic number, with its market cap of around $674 billion.</p><p>How can Berkshire Hathaway add another 50% to its current valuation over the next seven years? One possibility is to put its enormous cash stockpile to work. The company continues to buy back its shares quite a bit, which boosts the value of the remaining shares. Warren Buffett and his team have also invested in other publicly traded companies, including adding to Berkshire's stake in four companies in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Berkshire also benefits from overall economic growth. Revenue and profits for the company's insurance, railroad, and energy businesses should increase nicely if the economy performs well in the coming years. Berkshire's equity holdings, notably including Apple, could help propel its own stock higher, too.</p><p>Perhaps the biggest potential obstacle to Berkshire's market cap reaching $1 trillion is Buffett's health. Many investors are drawn to the stock in large part because of the legendary investor's mystique. Buffett will be 93 in August. Should his health fail, Berkshire stock could fall. For now, though, he appears to be in good health and remains actively involved with the company.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a></h2><p><b>Nvidia</b> (NVDA) stands out as another stock that could realistically hit the $1 trillion market by 2030. The company admittedly has a long way to go to reach the level, with its market cap currently around $573 billion. However, I think Nvidia has what it takes.</p><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are sizzling-hot right now -- Nvidia is no exception. While the sizzle could fizzle temporarily, the long-term prospects for Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) in powering AI applications look very bright. As a case in point, the company recently announced the launch of an AI-as-a-service product that will be available through all the major cloud-hosting providers. This new offering will enable any enterprise to use AI.</p><p>While AI is Nvidia's biggest opportunity, it's not the only one. The company made its name in the gaming market. Although gaming faces headwinds right now, they should only be temporary. Other significant growth drivers for Nvidia include its Omniverse virtual collaboration and simulation platform and its self-driving car technology.</p><p>It's possible that Nvidia's valuation could get in the way of its march to $1 trillion. The stock already has a lot of growth baked into the price, with shares trading at more than 48 times expected earnings. Nvidia could also encounter increased competition over the next few years. Still, I'll be more surprised if the stock doesn't have a $1 trillion market cap by 2030 than if it does.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p><b>Visa</b> (V) might seem like something of a longshot to reach a market cap of $1 trillion. The financial services giant isn't even halfway there right now, with its market cap below $454 billion. But don't dismiss Visa's chances.</p><p>Stock prices and market caps tend to follow earnings. All Visa has to do to join the $1 trillion club is what it's been doing. The company's earnings have increased by more than 120% over the past seven years. If Visa keeps up this trend, it should easily attain a market cap of at least $1 trillion by 2030.</p><p>I don't think Visa will have major problems with earnings growth. The company operates one of the world's two largest payment rails. The shift away from cash to digital payments appears to be an unstoppable trend. Some have speculated that blockchain could disrupt Visa's business model. But the company has fully embraced blockchain and could actually be helped more than hurt by the technology.</p><p>Could anything prevent Visa from getting to the $1 trillion level? One thing that comes to mind is that the company has a new CEO as of Feb. 1, 2023. Successful businesses can sometimes stumble after transitions at the top. However, I expect Visa won't skip a beat with a new person at the helm.</p><h2>Other potential candidates</h2><p>There are other potential candidates that could also attain market caps of $1 trillion or more by 2030. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XOM\">ExxonMobil</a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UNH\">UnitedHealth Group</a> especially stand out.

But I think Berkshire, Nvidia, and Visa appear to be the best bets to reach the mark within the next seven years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944112816,"gmtCreate":1681741806235,"gmtModify":1681741812033,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Economy are heading bear again?","listText":"Economy are heading bear again?","text":"Economy are heading bear again?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9944112816","repostId":"2327436598","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2327436598","pubTimestamp":1681719019,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2327436598?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-17 16:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Five Things to Watch in What Will Be an Ugly Earnings Season","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2327436598","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Impact of banking stress will be key as companies reportInvestors will monitor margins, spending and","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>Impact of banking stress will be key as companies report</p></li><li><p>Investors will monitor margins, spending and costs this season</p></li></ul><p>As companies prepare to report the biggest drop in earnings since the pandemic began three years ago, bulls are already looking past the decline, betting growth will resume and lift stocks to new highs.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Analysts expect first-quarter earnings to be “ugly,” with profits for S&P 500 companies falling 8%, but they also see it as the low point, Bloomberg Intelligence strategists Gina Martin Adams and Wendy Soong said.

I detected a bearish undertone.</p><p>The phrase is used by mountaineers to describe heights where humans can’t live for long. Survival is said to depend on speed or supplemental oxygen. I recommend just picking hobbies that don’t have death zones. In fact, I’m cautious on most zones: flood, no-fly, hot, impact, euro. I’ll spend time in my comfort zone, but I prefer my happy place.</p><p>To learn more about this high-alpine alert for investors, I reached out to its author, Mike Wilson, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley. He mentioned <i>Into Thin Air</i>, a 1997 book about an ill-fated Everest expedition. Just as oxygen-starved climbers became confused by what they saw, so have liquidity-soaked investors today, he says. The best evidence for that, according to Wilson, is an exceptionally low “equity risk premium.”</p><p>The ERP is a mathy representation of something that investors intuitively know: Risky stocks ought to return more than safe bonds. Just how much more is difficult to say with certainty, but by expressing it as a formula, economists can at least argue that the others are doing it wrong. Morgan Stanley puts the S&P 500’s ERP at about 1.6 percentage points, versus more than double that for much of the past decade.</p><p>Share prices are up this year. Earnings estimates are down. And Treasuries have gained appeal, thanks to plumped-up yields. Statistically, stocks have passed straight through the high-risk zone into the death zone, Wilson reckons, using his mountain metaphor. The S&P 500 will end the year at 3900, but only after tumbling to a range of 3000 to 3300 during the first half, he predicts. The index was recently spotted around 4000.</p><p>We’ve had lower and even negative ERPs, including during the 1990s and early 2000s, when interest rates trended lower amid disinflation. “I think it’s very challenging to feel comfortable saying that in five years, 10-year yields are going to be significantly lower,” says Wilson. “They might be higher. It’s unlikely we’re going back to negative real rates and financial repression and all the things that we did for the past 20 or 30 years.”</p><p>Cost growth for U.S. companies has lately outpaced sales growth. The 2023 consensus for earnings underlying the S&P 500 peaked at $250 last May, and has fallen to $222. That’s still 10% to 20% too high, based on a “top down” estimate that uses macro factors like consumer confidence and housing starts, which is faster to respond to major turning points than a “bottom up” consensus of individual company estimates, says Wilson.</p><p>Don’t make a panicked call to your stockbroker or to Nepalese air rescue. “We’re not here to try and catch the very low,” says Wilson. “What we’re trying to do is protect people from adding risk at the wrong time, and that’s what people have been doing.” Stock investors should favor defensive sectors like healthcare and consumer staples and efficient operators in industries like retail. Morgan Stanley even has a small Fresh Money Buy List. Names include Coca-Cola (ticker: KO), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and Verizon Communications(VZ).</p><p>What about dividends? Intel (INTC) slashed its payout by two-thirds this past week, which would seem to bode poorly for income stocks. But UBS—which, like Morgan Stanley, expects U.S. earnings to fall this year—predicts slight growth in dividends. “If you just plot the chart of dividend growth and earnings growth, dividend growth is much less volatile,” says UBS stock strategist Alastair Pinder.

I detected a bearish undertone.The phrase is used by mountaineers to describe heights where humans can’t live for long. Survival is said to depend on speed or supplemental oxygen. I recommend just picking hobbies that don’t have death zones. In fact, I’m cautious on most zones: flood, no-fly, hot, impact, euro. I’ll spend time in my comfort zone, but I prefer my happy place.To learn more about this high-alpine alert for investors, I reached out to its author, Mike Wilson, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley. He mentioned Into Thin Air, a 1997 book about an ill-fated Everest expedition. Just as oxygen-starved climbers became confused by what they saw, so have liquidity-soaked investors today, he says. The best evidence for that, according to Wilson, is an exceptionally low “equity risk premium.”The ERP is a mathy representation of something that investors intuitively know: Risky stocks ought to return more than safe bonds. Just how much more is difficult to say with certainty, but by expressing it as a formula, economists can at least argue that the others are doing it wrong. Morgan Stanley puts the S&P 500’s ERP at about 1.6 percentage points, versus more than double that for much of the past decade.Share prices are up this year. Earnings estimates are down. And Treasuries have gained appeal, thanks to plumped-up yields. Statistically, stocks have passed straight through the high-risk zone into the death zone, Wilson reckons, using his mountain metaphor. The S&P 500 will end the year at 3900, but only after tumbling to a range of 3000 to 3300 during the first half, he predicts. The index was recently spotted around 4000.We’ve had lower and even negative ERPs, including during the 1990s and early 2000s, when interest rates trended lower amid disinflation. “I think it’s very challenging to feel comfortable saying that in five years, 10-year yields are going to be significantly lower,” says Wilson. “They might be higher. It’s unlikely we’re going back to negative real rates and financial repression and all the things that we did for the past 20 or 30 years.”Cost growth for U.S. companies has lately outpaced sales growth. The 2023 consensus for earnings underlying the S&P 500 peaked at $250 last May, and has fallen to $222. That’s still 10% to 20% too high, based on a “top down” estimate that uses macro factors like consumer confidence and housing starts, which is faster to respond to major turning points than a “bottom up” consensus of individual company estimates, says Wilson.Don’t make a panicked call to your stockbroker or to Nepalese air rescue. “We’re not here to try and catch the very low,” says Wilson. “What we’re trying to do is protect people from adding risk at the wrong time, and that’s what people have been doing.” Stock investors should favor defensive sectors like healthcare and consumer staples and efficient operators in industries like retail. Morgan Stanley even has a small Fresh Money Buy List. Names include Coca-Cola (ticker: KO), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and Verizon Communications(VZ).What about dividends? Intel (INTC) slashed its payout by two-thirds this past week, which would seem to bode poorly for income stocks. But UBS—which, like Morgan Stanley, expects U.S. earnings to fall this year—predicts slight growth in dividends. “If you just plot the chart of dividend growth and earnings growth, dividend growth is much less volatile,” says UBS stock strategist Alastair Pinder. He has found that dividend stocks have tended to outperform by several percentage points during recessions, and that they trade at a 15% to 20% discount to the market now. He also says that payouts look low as a percentage of earnings, and could climb, given a new tax on stock buybacks.Look for moderate yields with plenty of potential for payment growth, and mix in quality signals like healthy returns on equity, resilient margins, and manageable debt, says Pinder. A recent UBS screen for such companies included Broadcom (AVGO), yielding 3.2%; Amgen (AMGN), 3.6%; Procter & Gamble (PG), 2.6%; and Extra Space Storage(EXR), 4.1%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":200379823439960,"gmtCreate":1689951430294,"gmtModify":1689951433602,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow a big gathering of Ai related stuffs!","listText":"Wow a big gathering of Ai related stuffs!","text":"Wow a big gathering of Ai related stuffs!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/200379823439960","repostId":"2352047811","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2352047811","pubTimestamp":1689952648,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2352047811?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-07-21 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"25 Millionaire-Maker AI Stocks to Buy Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2352047811","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Wondering how to profit from the tech sector's newest boom?

The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continues</p><p><em>InvestorPlace</em> analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a>. In his words:</p><blockquote>“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”</blockquote><p>More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.</p><p>This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.</p><p>What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.</p><h2 id=\"id_3544801079\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31a67376d189f3d1a70b923c79677edb\" alt=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>While it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, <strong>Adobe</strong> has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.</p><p>The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.</p><p>As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_1561524626\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c09b9cca987ad6036cb42deb4c512c48\" alt=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>All Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.</p><p><strong>Alphabet </strong>got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.</p><p>In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the <em>MIT Technology Review</em> reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.</p><p>No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.</p><h2 id=\"id_304089400\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4f663eb75dd9ab11109dd605e74b777\" alt=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>For all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when <strong>Amazon</strong> introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.</p><p>Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.</p><p>Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire <strong>iRobot</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>IRBT</strong>), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup <strong>Hugging Face</strong>, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.</p><h2 id=\"id_1071008481\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADSK\">Autodesk </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caa0287ec782f19c5a593f1fe415564f\" alt=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Contrary to its name, <strong>Autodesk</strong> doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:</p><blockquote>“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”</blockquote><p>It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.</p><p>As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition. Additionally, the company boasts strong financials and encouraging growth prospects. While ADSK stock has been fairly volatile over the past year, it is poised to ride the AI boom to new heights. </p><h2 id=\"id_294691448\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a67c9339674e4c29ab63601571a5c71\" alt=\"Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>A leader in China’s tech market, Baidu has a reach that spans many sectors, including IT, electronics and electric vehicles. It stands to reason that such a dynamic tech company would be focused on incorporating AI into its operations and Baidu is doing exactly that. But this Chinese tech innovator is taking it further and attempting to develop its own answer to ChatGPT. It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”</p><p>Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.</p><p>As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.</p><h2 id=\"id_1415294707\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BGRY\">Berkshire Grey </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdcfed9943c09a17e9dc8e53835b4d1a\" alt=\"Source: Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p><p>This little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.</p><p>Despite its name, <strong>Berkshire Grey</strong> isn’t owned by Warren Buffett. Based in Massachusetts, this AI innovator produces intelligent robotic automation solutions for industries such as e-commerce and retail. As noted, industry-leader Amazon is focused on optimizing AI to help reduce operating costs and maximize shipping efficiency. This means that companies in Berkshire Grey’s space will likely see a surge in demand for their robotic solutions as these trends take over and human workers are gradually phased out.</p><p>BRGY stock has been fairly volatile lately, but it currently trades at less than $1.50 per share. That should be highly enticing for investors who can stomach some risk. Penny stocks can make potential buyers nervous, but there are some key reasons to be optimistic about Berkshire Grey. As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Alex Sirois reports, it touts “impressive productivity increases, including a 70% reduction in overhead costs and 90% faster truck unload times for its customers.” Amazon and its peers are likely to take notice and when they do, BGRY could skyrocket out of the penny stock category.</p><h2 id=\"id_367272608\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BYDDY\">BYD Company </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/602e896695447d1928d9e1006c1f17f7\" alt=\"Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve Finkelsen\" title=\"Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve Finkelsen\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve Finkelsen</span></p><p>One of the most exciting aspects of the AI revolution is the possibility that it will take us to a future with driverless cars.</p><p>Electric vehicle producers are laser-focused on reaching this goal before their competitors do. While <strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>TSLA</u></strong>) is getting most of the attention, investors would be better served to focus on other automakers. <strong>BYD Company</strong> (OTCMKTS:<strong><u>BYDDY</u></strong>) is quietly leading China’s EV race and it is doubling down on incorporating AI in its vehicles. It has partnered with industry-leading chipmaker <strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>NVDA</u></strong>) to bring the cutting edge DRIVE Orin platform to its new energy vehicles.</p><p>More recently, the company took a major step forward when it partnered with AI and metaverse innovator <strong>MeetKai</strong>. On July 11, the latter announced the launch of BYD World, an “interactive virtual dealership experience dedicated to providing new opportunities for customers to interact with the BYD brand and its products in Americas.” This could be BYD’s ticket into the U.S. market after it has already sold more vehicles than Tesla in China. This type of innovation makes it an excellent bet among both EV and AI stocks to buy as it gears up to expand its global reach. It has been touted as having the potential to reach a trillion-dollar valuation.</p><h2 id=\"id_1051170557\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">CrowdStrike </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/17cb3250e382150fd2a23ee9475defa7\" alt=\"Source: T.

Schneider / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>We can’t talk about markets being changed by AI without discussing cybersecurity. <strong>CrowdStrike</strong>has been dominating that field for years, offering cybersecurity and data protection. Now AI is poised to help improve the tech solutions upon which many companies depend. <em>Forbes</em> reports that “76% of enterprises have prioritized AI and machine learning in their IT budgets.” Additionally, demand for cybersecurity services is growing faster than the human workforce. This means that the firms prioritizing AI will have a clear advantage. And CrowdStrike is at the forefront of this movement. It recently introduced Charlotte AI, a generative AI analyst created to help users navigate its CrowdStrike Falcon platform.</p><p>This isn’t CrowdStrike’s first foray into AI, either. Far from it. In August 2022, the company rolled out AI-powered indicators of attack (IOAs), created by “cloud-native machine learning models.” On top of that, CRWD has continuously earned its place among both cybersecurity and AI stocks to buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_3895236997\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTLB\">GitLab </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6f3f4ee7cd02aaf3e11c60c186277cd\" alt=\"Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>The current AI-centric economic landscape puts companies like <strong>GitLab</strong> in a perfect position. For years, this innovative DevOps platform has helped tech developers and teams build software. It enables collaboration which has been of paramount importance in the age of remote work. Now, more and more companies are rushing to enter the AI race while entrepreneurs are scrambling to build the next great AI startup. Both these trends stand to create significant demand for a platform like GitLab. As Sirois notes:</p><blockquote>“The reason that investors are so focused on GitLab is clear. The company has rapidly added AI features to its platform (10 recently), and posted revenue that was $9 million above analyst expectations, at $127 million. GitLab’s CEO Sid Sijbrandij was resolute in his belief that AI will help GitLab to make software for organizations faster than it could prior.”</blockquote><h2 id=\"id_2763027683\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FSLR\">First Solar </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6746e10713ab13b334e103a296ab6bb7\" alt=\"Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Despite some volatility over the past six months, <strong>First Solar</strong> has repeatedly proven that it can’t be kept down. This clean energy leader has risen more than 35% year to date (YTD). While it may not instantly come to mind when you think of AI stocks, that doesn’t mean it should be counted out.</p><p>Like all innovative manufacturers, First Solar has found ways to incorporate AI into its production to help improve its output and efficiency. In June 2021, the company invested $680 million in expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new facility in Ohio. It stated that the new facility would “produce a higher degree of automation, precision, and continuous improvement” by combining worker power with AI and IOT connectivity.</p><p>First Solar also offers investors AI exposure through partnerships. It has teamed up with <strong>Microsoft</strong> to help the tech giant achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral.

But to overlook <strong>Hyundai</strong> would be to make a critical mistake.</p><p>In June 2021, it completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, a company with years of progress demonstrating the power of robotic technology. One year later, it announced plans to launch the Boston Dynamics AI Institute, a project geared toward advancing AI and robotics. The company has already demonstrated progress on this front, sharing a video on its website of a robot helping potential buyers shop for cars.</p><p>Hyundai’s AI advancements don’t stop there. It is also highly focused on autonomous driving. As part of this, it announced that its IONIQ 5 robo-taxi would be hitting the streets in 2023. One of its South Korea-based affiliates has partnered with leading chipmaker <strong>Qualcomm</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>QCOM</u></strong>) to further its autonomous driving tech. If this progress continues, Hyundai is likely to pose a threat to the other automakers who want to win the driverless race.</p><h2 id=\"id_3275815457\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INOD\">Innodata </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f9904b7206d26beb34e8ecb29e43173\" alt=\"Source: carlos castilla/Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: carlos castilla/Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: carlos castilla/Shutterstock</span></p><p>You might not know the name <strong>Innodata</strong>, but if you’re seeking cheap AI stocks to buy before they explode, you absolutely should.</p><p>This company has surged more than 200% over the past six months and it still trades at less than $11 per share. Innodata operates in the business process solution space, helping companies solve complex data and engineering challenges through AI. And while it isn’t a household name yet, the company’s growth speaks for itself. InvestorPlace contributor Ian Cooper notes that for all the explosive growth it has seen recently, INOD stock has plenty of room to run as the AI boom powers it higher. In his words:</p><blockquote>“[The company] was selected by a leading cloud infrastructure and platform services company to provide large-scale data collection for a new AI computer vision initiative. Innodata also just signed a significant application re-engineering agreement to enable a customer to more fully leverage Innodata-built artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.”</blockquote><p>Cooper also notes that Innodata could stand to benefit from the increasing trend of tech giants acquiring smaller AI firms. In either case, the company is a likely winner among lesser-known AI innovators.</p><h2 id=\"id_2523484743\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LAZR\">Luminar Technologies </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b47db7f691a3ff6f6f6b848042247bd\" alt=\"Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Automakers are focused on winning the driverless race… and <strong>Luminar</strong> is helping several industry leaders get there.</p><p>This innovative startup produces lidar technology designed to make autonomous driving safer for everyone. It does this by helping vehicles detect their surroundings by sending out distance-measuring laser beams. And while Elon Musk has criticized this type of technology, he may live to eat his words. Other experts have praised Luminar’s innovations and speculated that its tech could help other automakers finish ahead of Tesla.</p><p>There’s good reason for this optimism. Luminar remains highly focused on growth through partnerships. In June 2023, it announced an agreement to bring its AI-based driving software to automated trucking company <strong>Plus</strong>. Before that, it collaborated with autonomous driving leader <strong>Pony.ai</strong> on a new sensing platform. Automakers clearly trust Luminar’s technology to help them make driverless cars safe.</p><h2 id=\"id_1030326480\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23700901ba8a46843e963fe38ea62db6\" alt=\"Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p></p><p>As one of the tech sector’s leading companies, it makes sense that <strong>Microsoft</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>MSFT</u></strong>) would be helping lead the charge toward an AI-driven future. This Silicon Valley behemoth has plenty going for it, none the least of which is its multibillion-dollar investment in ChatGPT maker <strong>OpenAI</strong>. That alone would be enough to earn MSFT a place on a list of the top AI stocks to buy. But the company has plenty of other projects that make it worth betting on for investors seeking AI exposure. Its cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure includes many important features such as tools for users to create their own AI solutions.</p><p>Like its Big Tech peers, Microsoft has the resources to continue scaling its operations. It offers users the opportunity to do almost any business-related task that involves AI, from developing conversational AI bots to complex machine learning models. As the company continues incorporating advanced AI tools into its vast array of products, MSFT stock will only continue growing. Shares are up 50% over the past six months and they aren’t about to slow down as the AI boom picks up steam.</p><h2 id=\"id_645953666\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTR\">MicroStrategy </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdfcb11b6632d3484829a4342fd194c4\" alt=\"Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p></p><p>When this company makes headlines, it’s often for crypto-related matters. After all, the business intelligence consultancy currently owns $4.6 billion in <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (<strong>BTC-USD</strong>) and its co-founder Michael Saylor is a leading Bitcoin evangelist.</p><p>But <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> has been on a truly impressive winning streak recently, rising more than 200% over the past two quarters. The recent crypto rally has certainly helped, but it isn’t the only reason.</p><p>Known for producing enterprise analytics software, this company has also been busy incorporating AI-based tools into its tech. Its Data Whisperer program features a chatbot that helps users understand their data. It also uses AI models to bring new insights to customers by evaluating data to spot new trends and outlying factors. Meanwhile, the company has been exploring partnerships with industry leaders. As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Tyrik Torres notes:</p><blockquote>“Recently, MicroStrategy announced a multi-year partnership with <strong>Microsoft</strong> to integrate MicroStrategy’s analytics into Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. This makes it one of those AI stocks with triple digit returns potentially in the future.”</blockquote><h2 id=\"id_1085506469\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MBLY\">Mobileye Global </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a645990879465f2fbc646f94f80af99\" alt=\"Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Like Luminar, <strong>Mobileye</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>MBLY</strong>) is helping power the autonomous driving revolution.</p><p>The company produces advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which it claims have been deployed in more than 135 million vehicles. Pus, Mobileye produces both software and hardware systems, including chips and censors. This puts it in an excellent position to help automakers continue advancing toward a driverless future. In 2022, it began testing its tech in self-driving cars in both the U.S. and Germany in order to train its AI to handle a wider variety of road conditions.</p><p><em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Tom Taulli sees MBLY as a potential winner among AI stocks to buy. He notes that while the company’s last earnings report did not thrill Wall Street, investors should regard it as an opportunity to pick up a valuable AI stock at a better valuation before it gains momentum. Taulli also adds that Mobileye comes with key advantages, such as a “patent portfolio, proprietary algorithms and rich data repositories.” All these factors could help MBLY keep rising as demand for autonomous driving solutions continues to grow.</p><h2 id=\"id_1337850962\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/131809121409895782dc85119faac691\" alt=\"Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Since 2022, it’s been impossible to discuss AI stocks without the conversation turning to <strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>NVDA</u></strong>). To say that this chipmaker has been the breakout stock of the year would be an understatement. It reached a trillion-dollar market cap during the AI boom and it seems as though the Silicon Valley darling is there to stay. It has soared over 150% over the past six months and while this may not seem sustainable, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Many companies depend on Nvidia’s products to continue their AI efforts. This includes ChatGPT, which is said to be powered by Nvidia chips.</p><p>It doesn’t take much to see that this puts Nvidia in a position of power as the AI revolution rages on. In fact, it may be the most likely winner of the new AI-driven economy. Between the AI and metaverse, more and more companies will come to rely on Nvidia’s products, sending demand sky high. Simply having ChatGPT as a client would make it a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.</p><p>But as <em>InvestorPlace’s</em> Louis Navellier notes, Nvidia’s potential far exceeds the chatbot. The economy is moving in a new direction, creating a wave that NVDA stock is perfectly tailored to ride.</p><h2 id=\"id_4081461751\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce8f4feee72330d40a026c39243c120d\" alt=\"Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>The rise of machine learning is an excellent development for Big Data analytics. This means that firms in the space will be working overtime to implement AI into their day-to-day operations. <strong>Palantir Technologies</strong> (NYSE:<strong>PLTR</strong>) is up more than 170% year to date as the firm that helps other companies embrace Big Data.</p><p>The <em>Financial Times</em> recently described the rise of AI as the crisis that Palantir has been looking for. Palantir recently demonstrated its new AI platform’s military applications, and company insiders have claimed to be seeing “unprecedented demand” for it. Palantir also recently announced a partnership with autonomous drone technology producer <strong>AirMatrix</strong>, furthering its AI exposure even more.</p><h2 id=\"id_1988153748\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROK\">Rockwell Automation </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aba7abdddda4d869e506ff5e7e57b2f0\" alt=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock</span></p><p>Lango has described the AI boom as a “Mt. Everest-sized opportunity in AI robotics.” This means that established leaders in the space will have significant room to run as more companies prioritize automation. <strong>Rockwell Automation</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>ROK</u></strong>) is exactly such a company. It focuses primarily on creating industrial automation and control systems, but its products and services are vast, spanning as far as cybersecurity and network solutions.</p><p>Rockwell hasn’t seen the type of gains that some companies on this list have this year. Investors should be careful to see the big picture, though. ROK stock has been gradually gaining momentum as the AI boom has taken off, demonstrating slow-but-steady growth. The company boasts robust financials and a truly global reach that will only expand more as demand for its products continues. As a trusted leader in the automation space, Rockwell will have a clear advantage in the coming year.</p><h2 id=\"id_1965477857\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOUN\">SoundHound AI </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/88fd4715cb3ac88de3cd346c03ed32f9\" alt=\"Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock</span></p><p>This stock likely isn’t on the radar of too many investors. But <strong>SoundHound AI</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>SOUN</u></strong>) is worthy of investor attention.</p><p>The company has already proven that its audio and speech recognition technology has major applications for industries such as food service and automotive, as well as for contact centers. Its conversational AI tools can help businesses with tasks such as answering phones and taking messages and reservations. As workers opt away from these jobs, more and more small businesses will be seeking automated solutions. If you need help answering the phone, SoundHound might have exactly what you need.</p><p>Despite still trading below $5, SOUN stock has made impressive progress this year, rising 175% YTD. Cooper has also flagged it as a likely acquisition target, and with demand growing for its tech, it’s easy to see why. Additionally, SoundHound also saw a significant boost recently after being added to the <strong>Russell 2000</strong> and Russell 3000 indices. This will help the company gain legitimacy in the eyes of the financial community and will likely spur further investment.</p><h2 id=\"id_3365848981\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPLK\">Splunk </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a78a845c7e10425d1f2ec22e780781d5\" alt=\"Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>For a leader in the workplace AI space, <strong>Splunk</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>SPLK</strong>) hasn’t risen by as much as some of its peers. However, that just means investors have an opportunity to pick up a valuable stock at a discount.</p><p>This company also helps clients analyze and sort through their data. If Palantir is benefitting from the new data boom, Splunk could very well follow. It also features a generative AI tool used to enhance user experiences. This interface also allows the user to create Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries. All this is meant to make Splunk’s valuable features more accessible to users.</p><p>On top of all that, the company recently reported fiscal Q1 2024 earnings and they did not disappoint. Splunk surpassed analyst estimates, reporting an 11% increase in revenue while annual recurring revenue rose by 16%. Even more impressive is its positive free cash flow, which saw a year-over-year (YOY) increase of 253%. When we consider all that, it’s not hard to see why Wall Street analysts remain highly bullish on SPLK stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_278414682\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STEM\">Stem </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce05c26bc1f4001bac698ed92b15f5e5\" alt=\"Source: petrmalinak / Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: petrmalinak / Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: petrmalinak / Shutterstock</span></p><p></p><p>Another company that often gets overshadowed by its larger peers, <strong>Stem</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>STEM</u></strong>) offers investors exposure to both the AI and clean energy markets.</p><p>This perch at the intersection of these two growing sectors, combined with its low price point of less than $10, should make it an enticing play for investors who don’t mind a little risk. STEM stock has been on a winning streak this month, rising more than 26% and making it clear it doesn’t intend to slow down. Part of this is likely due to AI driven momentum. Stem’s Athena platform uses this new tech to maximize “energy asset performance and investments,” providing a valuable service. As I previously reported :</p><blockquote>“The rising costs of electricity are creating a highly favorable economic landscape for Stem. As more and more companies invest in clean energy solutions, programs like Athena will become necessary for management and efficiency purposes. Stem’s revenue has been rising steadily this year, but the company is poised to soar in the coming years as it plays a critical role in both the green and AI revolutions.”</blockquote><h2 id=\"id_1936777046\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYM\">Symbotic </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0bfbe759b2e0dce9840f80571dbd1e4e\" alt=\"Source: shutterstock.com/Allies Interactive\" title=\"Source: shutterstock.com/Allies Interactive\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: shutterstock.com/Allies Interactive</span></p><p>Based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, this warehouse automation innovator is also riding the robotics boom that Lango discussed. <strong>Symbotic</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>SYM</strong>) has surged by an astonishing 275% YTD, proving just how powerful the demand for warehouse automation is.

The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continuesInvestorPlace analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for Apple . In his words:“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.AI Stocks to Buy: AdobeSource: r.classen / Shutterstock.comWhile it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, Adobe has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.AlphabetSource: salarko / Shutterstock.comAll Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.Alphabet got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the MIT Technology Review reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.Amazon Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.comFor all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when Amazon introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup Hugging Face, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.Autodesk Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.comContrary to its name, Autodesk doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As InvestorPlace contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition. Additionally, the company boasts strong financials and encouraging growth prospects. While ADSK stock has been fairly volatile over the past year, it is poised to ride the AI boom to new heights. AI Stocks to Buy: Baidu Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.comA leader in China’s tech market, Baidu has a reach that spans many sectors, including IT, electronics and electric vehicles. It stands to reason that such a dynamic tech company would be focused on incorporating AI into its operations and Baidu is doing exactly that. But this Chinese tech innovator is taking it further and attempting to develop its own answer to ChatGPT. It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.As InvestorPlace contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.Berkshire Grey Source: ShutterstockThis little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.Despite its name, Berkshire Grey isn’t owned by Warren Buffett. Based in Massachusetts, this AI innovator produces intelligent robotic automation solutions for industries such as e-commerce and retail. As noted, industry-leader Amazon is focused on optimizing AI to help reduce operating costs and maximize shipping efficiency. This means that companies in Berkshire Grey’s space will likely see a surge in demand for their robotic solutions as these trends take over and human workers are gradually phased out.BRGY stock has been fairly volatile lately, but it currently trades at less than $1.50 per share. That should be highly enticing for investors who can stomach some risk. Penny stocks can make potential buyers nervous, but there are some key reasons to be optimistic about Berkshire Grey. As InvestorPlace contributor Alex Sirois reports, it touts “impressive productivity increases, including a 70% reduction in overhead costs and 90% faster truck unload times for its customers.” Amazon and its peers are likely to take notice and when they do, BGRY could skyrocket out of the penny stock category.BYD Company Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve FinkelsenOne of the most exciting aspects of the AI revolution is the possibility that it will take us to a future with driverless cars.Electric vehicle producers are laser-focused on reaching this goal before their competitors do. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is getting most of the attention, investors would be better served to focus on other automakers. BYD Company (OTCMKTS:BYDDY) is quietly leading China’s EV race and it is doubling down on incorporating AI in its vehicles. It has partnered with industry-leading chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to bring the cutting edge DRIVE Orin platform to its new energy vehicles.More recently, the company took a major step forward when it partnered with AI and metaverse innovator MeetKai. On July 11, the latter announced the launch of BYD World, an “interactive virtual dealership experience dedicated to providing new opportunities for customers to interact with the BYD brand and its products in Americas.” This could be BYD’s ticket into the U.S. market after it has already sold more vehicles than Tesla in China. This type of innovation makes it an excellent bet among both EV and AI stocks to buy as it gears up to expand its global reach. It has been touted as having the potential to reach a trillion-dollar valuation.CrowdStrike Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.comWe can’t talk about markets being changed by AI without discussing cybersecurity. CrowdStrikehas been dominating that field for years, offering cybersecurity and data protection. Now AI is poised to help improve the tech solutions upon which many companies depend. Forbes reports that “76% of enterprises have prioritized AI and machine learning in their IT budgets.” Additionally, demand for cybersecurity services is growing faster than the human workforce. This means that the firms prioritizing AI will have a clear advantage. And CrowdStrike is at the forefront of this movement. It recently introduced Charlotte AI, a generative AI analyst created to help users navigate its CrowdStrike Falcon platform.This isn’t CrowdStrike’s first foray into AI, either. Far from it. In August 2022, the company rolled out AI-powered indicators of attack (IOAs), created by “cloud-native machine learning models.” On top of that, CRWD has continuously earned its place among both cybersecurity and AI stocks to buy.GitLab Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.comThe current AI-centric economic landscape puts companies like GitLab in a perfect position. For years, this innovative DevOps platform has helped tech developers and teams build software. It enables collaboration which has been of paramount importance in the age of remote work. Now, more and more companies are rushing to enter the AI race while entrepreneurs are scrambling to build the next great AI startup. Both these trends stand to create significant demand for a platform like GitLab. As Sirois notes:“The reason that investors are so focused on GitLab is clear. The company has rapidly added AI features to its platform (10 recently), and posted revenue that was $9 million above analyst expectations, at $127 million. GitLab’s CEO Sid Sijbrandij was resolute in his belief that AI will help GitLab to make software for organizations faster than it could prior.”AI Stocks to Buy: First Solar Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comDespite some volatility over the past six months, First Solar has repeatedly proven that it can’t be kept down. This clean energy leader has risen more than 35% year to date (YTD). While it may not instantly come to mind when you think of AI stocks, that doesn’t mean it should be counted out.Like all innovative manufacturers, First Solar has found ways to incorporate AI into its production to help improve its output and efficiency. In June 2021, the company invested $680 million in expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new facility in Ohio. It stated that the new facility would “produce a higher degree of automation, precision, and continuous improvement” by combining worker power with AI and IOT connectivity.First Solar also offers investors AI exposure through partnerships. It has teamed up with Microsoft to help the tech giant achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral. Microsoft has made it clear that this will be achieved by further harnessing the growing power of AI and data science. First Solar has been making ample use of Microsoft’s technologies for some time, demonstrating the importance of AI for the manufacturing and clean energy markets.Hyundai Motors Source: shutterstock.com/AntonovVitaliiThis South Korean automaker doesn’t get as much attention as other car names. But to overlook Hyundai would be to make a critical mistake.In June 2021, it completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, a company with years of progress demonstrating the power of robotic technology. One year later, it announced plans to launch the Boston Dynamics AI Institute, a project geared toward advancing AI and robotics. The company has already demonstrated progress on this front, sharing a video on its website of a robot helping potential buyers shop for cars.Hyundai’s AI advancements don’t stop there. It is also highly focused on autonomous driving. As part of this, it announced that its IONIQ 5 robo-taxi would be hitting the streets in 2023. One of its South Korea-based affiliates has partnered with leading chipmaker Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) to further its autonomous driving tech. If this progress continues, Hyundai is likely to pose a threat to the other automakers who want to win the driverless race.Innodata Source: carlos castilla/ShutterstockYou might not know the name Innodata, but if you’re seeking cheap AI stocks to buy before they explode, you absolutely should.This company has surged more than 200% over the past six months and it still trades at less than $11 per share. Innodata operates in the business process solution space, helping companies solve complex data and engineering challenges through AI. And while it isn’t a household name yet, the company’s growth speaks for itself. InvestorPlace contributor Ian Cooper notes that for all the explosive growth it has seen recently, INOD stock has plenty of room to run as the AI boom powers it higher. In his words:“[The company] was selected by a leading cloud infrastructure and platform services company to provide large-scale data collection for a new AI computer vision initiative. Innodata also just signed a significant application re-engineering agreement to enable a customer to more fully leverage Innodata-built artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.”Cooper also notes that Innodata could stand to benefit from the increasing trend of tech giants acquiring smaller AI firms. In either case, the company is a likely winner among lesser-known AI innovators.Luminar Technologies Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.comAutomakers are focused on winning the driverless race… and Luminar is helping several industry leaders get there.This innovative startup produces lidar technology designed to make autonomous driving safer for everyone. It does this by helping vehicles detect their surroundings by sending out distance-measuring laser beams. And while Elon Musk has criticized this type of technology, he may live to eat his words. Other experts have praised Luminar’s innovations and speculated that its tech could help other automakers finish ahead of Tesla.There’s good reason for this optimism. Luminar remains highly focused on growth through partnerships. In June 2023, it announced an agreement to bring its AI-based driving software to automated trucking company Plus. Before that, it collaborated with autonomous driving leader Pony.ai on a new sensing platform. Automakers clearly trust Luminar’s technology to help them make driverless cars safe.Microsoft Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.comAs one of the tech sector’s leading companies, it makes sense that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) would be helping lead the charge toward an AI-driven future. This Silicon Valley behemoth has plenty going for it, none the least of which is its multibillion-dollar investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. That alone would be enough to earn MSFT a place on a list of the top AI stocks to buy. But the company has plenty of other projects that make it worth betting on for investors seeking AI exposure. Its cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure includes many important features such as tools for users to create their own AI solutions.Like its Big Tech peers, Microsoft has the resources to continue scaling its operations. It offers users the opportunity to do almost any business-related task that involves AI, from developing conversational AI bots to complex machine learning models. As the company continues incorporating advanced AI tools into its vast array of products, MSFT stock will only continue growing. Shares are up 50% over the past six months and they aren’t about to slow down as the AI boom picks up steam.MicroStrategy Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.comWhen this company makes headlines, it’s often for crypto-related matters. After all, the business intelligence consultancy currently owns $4.6 billion in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and its co-founder Michael Saylor is a leading Bitcoin evangelist.But MicroStrategy has been on a truly impressive winning streak recently, rising more than 200% over the past two quarters. The recent crypto rally has certainly helped, but it isn’t the only reason.Known for producing enterprise analytics software, this company has also been busy incorporating AI-based tools into its tech. Its Data Whisperer program features a chatbot that helps users understand their data. It also uses AI models to bring new insights to customers by evaluating data to spot new trends and outlying factors. Meanwhile, the company has been exploring partnerships with industry leaders. As InvestorPlace contributor Tyrik Torres notes:“Recently, MicroStrategy announced a multi-year partnership with Microsoft to integrate MicroStrategy’s analytics into Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. This makes it one of those AI stocks with triple digit returns potentially in the future.”Mobileye Global Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.comLike Luminar, Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY) is helping power the autonomous driving revolution.The company produces advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which it claims have been deployed in more than 135 million vehicles. Pus, Mobileye produces both software and hardware systems, including chips and censors. This puts it in an excellent position to help automakers continue advancing toward a driverless future. In 2022, it began testing its tech in self-driving cars in both the U.S. and Germany in order to train its AI to handle a wider variety of road conditions.InvestorPlace contributor Tom Taulli sees MBLY as a potential winner among AI stocks to buy. He notes that while the company’s last earnings report did not thrill Wall Street, investors should regard it as an opportunity to pick up a valuable AI stock at a better valuation before it gains momentum. Taulli also adds that Mobileye comes with key advantages, such as a “patent portfolio, proprietary algorithms and rich data repositories.” All these factors could help MBLY keep rising as demand for autonomous driving solutions continues to grow.Nvidia Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.comSince 2022, it’s been impossible to discuss AI stocks without the conversation turning to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). To say that this chipmaker has been the breakout stock of the year would be an understatement. It reached a trillion-dollar market cap during the AI boom and it seems as though the Silicon Valley darling is there to stay. It has soared over 150% over the past six months and while this may not seem sustainable, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Many companies depend on Nvidia’s products to continue their AI efforts. This includes ChatGPT, which is said to be powered by Nvidia chips.It doesn’t take much to see that this puts Nvidia in a position of power as the AI revolution rages on. In fact, it may be the most likely winner of the new AI-driven economy. Between the AI and metaverse, more and more companies will come to rely on Nvidia’s products, sending demand sky high. Simply having ChatGPT as a client would make it a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.But as InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier notes, Nvidia’s potential far exceeds the chatbot. The economy is moving in a new direction, creating a wave that NVDA stock is perfectly tailored to ride.Palantir Technologies Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.comThe rise of machine learning is an excellent development for Big Data analytics. This means that firms in the space will be working overtime to implement AI into their day-to-day operations. Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is up more than 170% year to date as the firm that helps other companies embrace Big Data.The Financial Times recently described the rise of AI as the crisis that Palantir has been looking for. Palantir recently demonstrated its new AI platform’s military applications, and company insiders have claimed to be seeing “unprecedented demand” for it. Palantir also recently announced a partnership with autonomous drone technology producer AirMatrix, furthering its AI exposure even more.Rockwell Automation Source: JHVEPhoto / ShutterstockLango has described the AI boom as a “Mt. Everest-sized opportunity in AI robotics.” This means that established leaders in the space will have significant room to run as more companies prioritize automation. Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) is exactly such a company. It focuses primarily on creating industrial automation and control systems, but its products and services are vast, spanning as far as cybersecurity and network solutions.Rockwell hasn’t seen the type of gains that some companies on this list have this year. Investors should be careful to see the big picture, though. ROK stock has been gradually gaining momentum as the AI boom has taken off, demonstrating slow-but-steady growth. The company boasts robust financials and a truly global reach that will only expand more as demand for its products continues. As a trusted leader in the automation space, Rockwell will have a clear advantage in the coming year.SoundHound AI Source: Tada Images / ShutterstockThis stock likely isn’t on the radar of too many investors. But SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) is worthy of investor attention.The company has already proven that its audio and speech recognition technology has major applications for industries such as food service and automotive, as well as for contact centers. Its conversational AI tools can help businesses with tasks such as answering phones and taking messages and reservations. As workers opt away from these jobs, more and more small businesses will be seeking automated solutions. If you need help answering the phone, SoundHound might have exactly what you need.Despite still trading below $5, SOUN stock has made impressive progress this year, rising 175% YTD. Cooper has also flagged it as a likely acquisition target, and with demand growing for its tech, it’s easy to see why. Additionally, SoundHound also saw a significant boost recently after being added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices. This will help the company gain legitimacy in the eyes of the financial community and will likely spur further investment.Splunk Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comFor a leader in the workplace AI space, Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK) hasn’t risen by as much as some of its peers. However, that just means investors have an opportunity to pick up a valuable stock at a discount.This company also helps clients analyze and sort through their data. If Palantir is benefitting from the new data boom, Splunk could very well follow. It also features a generative AI tool used to enhance user experiences. This interface also allows the user to create Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries. All this is meant to make Splunk’s valuable features more accessible to users.On top of all that, the company recently reported fiscal Q1 2024 earnings and they did not disappoint. Splunk surpassed analyst estimates, reporting an 11% increase in revenue while annual recurring revenue rose by 16%. Even more impressive is its positive free cash flow, which saw a year-over-year (YOY) increase of 253%. When we consider all that, it’s not hard to see why Wall Street analysts remain highly bullish on SPLK stock.Stem Source: petrmalinak / ShutterstockAnother company that often gets overshadowed by its larger peers, Stem (NYSE:STEM) offers investors exposure to both the AI and clean energy markets.This perch at the intersection of these two growing sectors, combined with its low price point of less than $10, should make it an enticing play for investors who don’t mind a little risk. STEM stock has been on a winning streak this month, rising more than 26% and making it clear it doesn’t intend to slow down. Part of this is likely due to AI driven momentum. Stem’s Athena platform uses this new tech to maximize “energy asset performance and investments,” providing a valuable service. As I previously reported :“The rising costs of electricity are creating a highly favorable economic landscape for Stem. As more and more companies invest in clean energy solutions, programs like Athena will become necessary for management and efficiency purposes. Stem’s revenue has been rising steadily this year, but the company is poised to soar in the coming years as it plays a critical role in both the green and AI revolutions.”Symbotic Source: shutterstock.com/Allies InteractiveBased in Wilmington, Massachusetts, this warehouse automation innovator is also riding the robotics boom that Lango discussed. Symbotic (NASDAQ:SYM) has surged by an astonishing 275% YTD, proving just how powerful the demand for warehouse automation is. It produces both robots driven by AI and an automation platform for warehouses. It has partnered with retail powerhouses such as Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Albertsons (NYSE:ACI). Other companies are likely to follow as demand for robotic solutions in warehouse and shipping facilities increases. This technology can allow companies to decrease their operating costs and increase shipping efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment.“Symbotic is also poised to benefit from higher spending by consumers on physical products, a phenomenon that I expect to begin occurring in earnest during the current quarter,” notes InvestorPlace contributor Larry Ramer.That’s just one of the reasons that Ramer considers SYM stock to be one of the best ways to gain AI exposure.Teradyne Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comOne of the world’s largest robotic technology producers, Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) designs and manufactures automatic test equipment but it also produces collaborative robots, designed to work alongside humans. The company has taken significant steps to expand its AI operations, acquiring both Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots. These deals give it a sizable share of an already booming market that is likely to only increase as industry trends spur demand for the type of robotic solutions that Teradyne provides.Teradyne’s power lies in the fact that it both manufactures top-of-the-line equipment and creates robots designed to help automate away mundane tasks. Those are two areas in which demand isn’t fading, allowing it a clear pathway to growth. It has also partnered with companies in the automotive, defense and aerospace sectors, giving investors even more reason to bet on it. For these reasons, InvestorPlace contributor Faizan Farooque believes it has the potential to deliver “life-changing returns.”Wearable Devices Source: shutterstock.com/LDprodThis may seem like an unconventional choice for a list of the best AI stocks to buy. But pay attention.Wearable Devices is developing an AI-based “wearable neural interface” that could take it out of penny stock territory. Wearable Devices wants to put this device in the form of a wristband that can control technology with “subtle finger movements.”Earlier this year, the company received a $900,00 grant from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) to develop the neural interface, sending shares soaring. It has had an overall outstanding year, rising 215% YTD and still trading at less than $2 per share.If investors don’t mind some risk, WLDS could prove a highly profitable investment if it can get its flagship device to market. Its technology could prove to be the next big thing in AI, assuming it can keep developing it successfully.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944117372,"gmtCreate":1681742672896,"gmtModify":1681742676828,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great suff!

However, not all companies have the financial fortitude to maintain their dividends during tough times. That's why investors need to ensure the companies paying them dividends can sustain those payouts over the long haul.</p><p>One way to measure a dividend's risk is to examine the underlying company's bond rating. Companies with higher bond ratings have a lower risk of reducing their dividends during an economic downturn. <strong>Johnson & Johnson</strong> and <strong>Microsoft</strong> currently have the best credit in the world, meaning Investors can bank on their dividend payments.</p><h2>A very healthy dividend</h2><p>Johnson & Johnson has one of the healthiest financial profiles in the world. The healthcare giant ended last year with $24 billion of cash and marketable securities against $40 billion of debt. That put its net debt at around $16 billion. It's an easily affordable level for a company that produced $17 billion of free cash flow last year. That fortress-like balance sheet is why Johnson & Johnson has AAA-rated credit, higher than that of the U.S. government. </p><p>Johnson & Johnson's robust free cash flow easily covers its dividend, which yields 2.8% these days. The company paid $11.7 billion of dividends last year. That allowed it to generate excess cash, some of which it used to repurchase shares (about $2.5 billion last year).</p><p>The company has an exceptional track record of paying dividends. Last year was its 60th straight year of increasing its dividend. That puts Johnson & Johnson in the elite group of Dividend Kings, companies with 50 or more years of dividend growth. </p><p>The healthcare company invests heavily in research and development ($14.6 billion in 2022) to drive future growth. It also uses its strong balance sheet to make acquisitions as opportunities arise (it bought Abiomed for $16.6 billion in cash last year). The company's growth-related investments should expand its cash flow, enabling Johnson & Johnson to continue increasing its rock-solid dividend. That makes Johnson & Johnson stock a great investment for those seeking an ultra-low-risk dividend. </p><h2>A cash flow machine</h2><p>Microsoft sits alongside Johnson & Johnson as the only two companies with better credit than the U.S. Government. The tech behemoth backs that top-tier bond rating with an elite balance sheet. It ended last year with nearly $100 billion of cash, equivalents, and short-term investments. Meanwhile, Microsoft only had about $44 billion of long-term debt. </p><p>The technology titan also produces prodigious cash flows. Over the last six months, it generated over $34 billion of net cash from operating activities. That was more than three times its dividend outlay during that period ($9.7 billion). That enabled Microsoft to repurchase shares ($11 billion in the last six months) and make new investments and acquisitions ($13.5 billion in that timeframe). </p><p>Microsoft is one of the largest dividend payers in the country, distributing about $18 billion to its shareholders each year. Despite that sizable payout, it has a relatively low yield (less than 1%). However, the company has a solid history of growing its dividend. Microsoft increased the payout for the past 13 years, including by 10% late last year. </p><p>The tech giant should be able to continue growing its payout in the future. Microsoft is investing heavily to expand, including making several large-scale investments and acquisitions. It's recently extended its partnership with OpenAI (the developer of the popular ChatGTP AI program) by making a multiyear, multibillion investment into the company to accelerate its innovation. Microsoft is also working to acquire videogame maker <strong>Activision Blizzard</strong> for $68.7 billion in cash to expand its Xbox platform. Those growth drivers make Microsoft stock a potentially rewarding investment for those seeking a supremely sustainable and growing dividend. </p><h2>Super safe dividend stocks</h2><p>Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson offer the lowest-risk dividends around. The companies have fortress-like balance sheets and generate substantial cash flows, putting their payouts on an extremely firm foundation. They're ideal dividend stocks for even the most risk-wary investor.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

However, not all companies have the financial fortitude to maintain their dividends during tough times. That's why investors need to ensure the companies paying them dividends can sustain those payouts over the long haul.One way to measure a dividend's risk is to examine the underlying company's bond rating. Companies with higher bond ratings have a lower risk of reducing their dividends during an economic downturn. Johnson & Johnson and Microsoft currently have the best credit in the world, meaning Investors can bank on their dividend payments.A very healthy dividendJohnson & Johnson has one of the healthiest financial profiles in the world. The healthcare giant ended last year with $24 billion of cash and marketable securities against $40 billion of debt. That put its net debt at around $16 billion. It's an easily affordable level for a company that produced $17 billion of free cash flow last year. That fortress-like balance sheet is why Johnson & Johnson has AAA-rated credit, higher than that of the U.S. government. Johnson & Johnson's robust free cash flow easily covers its dividend, which yields 2.8% these days. The company paid $11.7 billion of dividends last year. That allowed it to generate excess cash, some of which it used to repurchase shares (about $2.5 billion last year).The company has an exceptional track record of paying dividends. Last year was its 60th straight year of increasing its dividend. That puts Johnson & Johnson in the elite group of Dividend Kings, companies with 50 or more years of dividend growth. The healthcare company invests heavily in research and development ($14.6 billion in 2022) to drive future growth. It also uses its strong balance sheet to make acquisitions as opportunities arise (it bought Abiomed for $16.6 billion in cash last year). The company's growth-related investments should expand its cash flow, enabling Johnson & Johnson to continue increasing its rock-solid dividend. That makes Johnson & Johnson stock a great investment for those seeking an ultra-low-risk dividend. A cash flow machineMicrosoft sits alongside Johnson & Johnson as the only two companies with better credit than the U.S. Government. The tech behemoth backs that top-tier bond rating with an elite balance sheet. It ended last year with nearly $100 billion of cash, equivalents, and short-term investments. Meanwhile, Microsoft only had about $44 billion of long-term debt. The technology titan also produces prodigious cash flows. Over the last six months, it generated over $34 billion of net cash from operating activities. That was more than three times its dividend outlay during that period ($9.7 billion). That enabled Microsoft to repurchase shares ($11 billion in the last six months) and make new investments and acquisitions ($13.5 billion in that timeframe). Microsoft is one of the largest dividend payers in the country, distributing about $18 billion to its shareholders each year. Despite that sizable payout, it has a relatively low yield (less than 1%). However, the company has a solid history of growing its dividend. Microsoft increased the payout for the past 13 years, including by 10% late last year. The tech giant should be able to continue growing its payout in the future. Microsoft is investing heavily to expand, including making several large-scale investments and acquisitions. It's recently extended its partnership with OpenAI (the developer of the popular ChatGTP AI program) by making a multiyear, multibillion investment into the company to accelerate its innovation. Microsoft is also working to acquire videogame maker Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in cash to expand its Xbox platform. Those growth drivers make Microsoft stock a potentially rewarding investment for those seeking a supremely sustainable and growing dividend. Super safe dividend stocksMicrosoft and Johnson & Johnson offer the lowest-risk dividends around. The companies have fortress-like balance sheets and generate substantial cash flows, putting their payouts on an extremely firm foundation. They're ideal dividend stocks for even the most risk-wary investor.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
