The tech giant is altering how it reports the performance of different business categories in a way that analysts say will make it easier to gauge AI and Azure momentum.

Nvidia Corporation's full-stack AI factory across hardware (CPU/GPU/LPU/networking) and proprietary CUDA platform (including Hugging Face) underscores their AI godfather status. The insatiable compute demand and growing customer base (including the accelerating ACIE segment) diversify revenue and reduce reliance on hyperscalers opting for custom chips. NVDA guides for FY2028 revenue growth of +70% YoY and gross margins of 72–73%, with these numbers merely gated by supply/component headwinds.

Today could be the day Tesla changes forever.

Microsoft (MSFT) remains a Strong Buy as robust earnings and accelerating AI-driven growth validate aggressive CapEx and strategic positioning.

Copilot's paid seats doubled QoQ to 30 million, with significant runway for further penetration and pricing power in the vast M365 install base.

Silicon alone does not guarantee a lasting monopoly. For years, the market valued NVIDIA Corporation NASDAQ: NVDA largely on the dominance of its data-center hardware.

Nvidia Corporation announced on Thursday that it has agreed to acquire the open-source AI platform Hugging Face for $12.93 billion.

I'm rating Apple a Buy, with a price target of $414. My main growth drivers are services, the iPhone 18 and foldable cycle, AI monetization, Mac and iPad growth, margin normalization, and continued share repurchases. AAPL isn't cheap at 36.84x FWD non-GAAP earnings and a 3.49x FWD non-GAAP PEG ratio.

SKHY rides surging AI data-center demand, expands HBM capacity and U.S. production, and deepens its NVIDIA partnership as memory shortages persist.

As Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock climbed more than 16% over the past 30 days, through September 3, coinciding with the company's Cybercab event, Mickey Legg, a Wall Street analyst at StoneX, has set a new target at its all-time high (ATH) over the next 12 months.

The mean of analysts' price targets for Nvidia (NVDA) points to a 44.6% upside in the stock. While this highly sought-after metric has not proven reasonably effective, strong agreement among analysts in raising earnings estimates does indicate an upside in the stock.

Nvidia announced it will acquire AI developer platform Hugging Face for approximately $13 billion, deepening its push into the open-source AI ecosystem.

Microsoft just pulled Azure out from behind years of bundled reporting, and what the numbers reveal about its real competition changes the entire investment thesis for MSFT shareholders.
