Seaport analysts cut MD’s shares on Thursday. This year, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s stock has surged on hope for the company’s AI-chip roadmap, which some believe would help it overtake Nvidia Corp. However, Seaport Research analysts are concerned that AMD (AMD) would struggle to live up to expectations, which could limit future stock growth. Over the last three months, AMD’s stock has increased by almost 37%, outperforming Nvidia’s stock’s (21%), gain over that time. According to a note released on Thursday by Seaport analysts led by Jay Goldberg, who cited discussions with supply-chain participants, the chip maker’s AI accelerator business…

Salesforce’s adoption of AI agents is progressing, but questions about its revenue growth still exist. Salesforce Inc.’s shares did not rise despite its better-than-expected earnings announcement. Shares may really see their biggest drop in almost a year. Given that investors have been unsure if AI-native apps can take the place of conventional software systems, it is simple to attribute Salesforce’s (CRM) stock performance to AI-related worries. However, a growing number of analysts are arguing that the “AI eats software” myth is exaggerated, creating unwarranted skepticism toward the software industry in general and Salesforce in particular. Mark Moerdler, a rare bear…

JPMorgan and a venture arm of Nvidia are among the investors in Honeywell’s fresh capital raising for its Quantinuum quantum business. The venture-capital division of Nvidia Corp. has joined a consortium investing in the industrial giant’s quantum computing technology, which might give Honeywell International Inc. more street credit. With a $135 billion market capitalization and an anticipated $41 billion in total revenue this year, Honeywell (HON) is by no means a slouch.

As AI propels semiconductor stocks, Cantor analysts said Nvidia is their favorite choice.

Analysts at Cantor said in a note on Wednesday that they anticipate these trends “to continue driving the AI trade” as tech giants revise capital expenditures upward and cite the need to spend more on AI infrastructure, and as businesses that make…

Google must permit qualified competitors to syndicate its search and text ad services, but it will not be compelled to sell off Chrome. Although the long-awaited search remedies for Alphabet Inc.’s antitrust case turned out better than anticipated, Google’s (GOOGL) (GOOG) business still faces more difficult obstacles in the future. Following the Justice Department’s recommended structural remedy during the hearing—Google’s decision to divest Chrome—Judge Amit Mehta’s decision on Tuesday caused investors to rejoice. Alphabet’s stock is expected to close at a record $228.90, up 8.3% in morning trading. However, Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Melius Research, questioned whether the ruling’s…

Although they are not yet included in 401(k) plans, private-credit exchange-traded funds are Wall Street’s most recent attempt to make private assets accessible to the general public and eventually included in retirement plans. At least three ETF creators have introduced funds intended to access private credit, either directly or through collateralized loan obligations: StateStreet, BondBloxx, and Virtus. With yields of up to about 10%, which are significantly higher than those of publicly traded debt instruments like bonds or Treasurys, these funds represent the most recent attempt to make a well-liked Wall Street product accessible to retail investors. They will enable…

Dan Ives, who worked on Wall Street for 25 years, gained notoriety for promoting technology stocks on business television shows while sporting brightly colored shirts and coats. Ives then took a fresh approach in June, putting his name on his own exchange-traded fund, the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF, which consists of 30 equities. In a phone interview, Ives stated, “There are thousands of ETFs, but there is only one Dan Ives.” The new ETF IVES, according to Ives, head of technology research at Wedbush Securities, combines all of his expertise into a portfolio of “winners” that he has…

Capital Group’s $200 billion+ Investment Company of America fund has kept pace with the changes since its inception in 1934. Anita Patel, an investment director and public spokesperson for the strategy, told MarketWatch in an interview that the fund “has evolved alongside the U.S. economic landscape,” moving from a manufacturing-based economy in the post-World War II era to a services-based one in the 1980s, and from the old economy to the new one. The fund has a “long track record of protecting in periods of market volatility and market declines,” according to Patel. According to Lipper data, the five-star Morningstar-rated…
