Melius Research: Tesla must-own stock on autonomy and in-house AI chips

November 24, 2025, 8:52 PM EST. Melius Research reiterates its buy call on Tesla, calling the stock a must-own thanks to advancing autonomy and the carmaker's in-house software and hardware.

PPL Stock: Grid Modernization Sparks Optimism, But Valuation Keeps Caution

Brazilian output remains a drag, while ISMA raised India's 2025/26 production to 31 MMT, cutting ethanol use to 3.4 MMT.

Cocoa Futures Rise as Ivory Coast Arrivals Slow; NY Cocoa Settles Higher

Market focus shifted to the EU's deforestation rules, as the delay of the EUDR reduces near-term supply pressures. Traders note a potentially bumper West Africa crop; Ivory Coast harvest has begun and pods are developing well, with Mondelez flagging pod counts above average. Still, weak global demand remains a headwind, cited by softer Halloween chocolate sales and mixed regional grindings data across Asia and Europe.

Acadia Realty Trust (AKR) Clears 4% Yield Threshold

November 24, 2025, 6:48 PM EST. Acadia Realty Trust (AKR) is delivering a yield above 4% on the latest data, supported by a quarterly dividend that annualizes to about $0.80 and a stock price near $19.98. As a member of the Russell 3000, AKR sits among the larger cap names in U.S. real estate. The emphasis on dividends reflects their role in total returns, though actual dividend levels depend on profitability and may not be easy to predict. Viewers should assess the history behind AKR's most recent payout to gauge the sustainability of the 4% yield. For context, the broader debate over dividend reliability continues to matter for income-focused investors.

Whirlpool (WHR) Yields Above 5% as Dividend Appeal Grows

November 24, 2025, 6:46 PM EST. Whirlpool Corp (WHR) is trading with a yield above 5% after annualizing its quarterly dividend to $3.60 per share, with the stock around $71.84. Dividends can materially boost total returns, as shown by the IWV example where payouts helped total returns rise over the period despite a flat price. WHR is a member of the Russell 3000, underscoring its large-cap status. However, dividend amounts are not guaranteed and tend to track profitability, so a 5% yield today may not persist unless earnings and payout discipline are maintained. Investors should consult the history and outlook to gauge whether the 5% yield is likely to endure.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust BXMT Surpasses 10% Dividend Yield

November 24, 2025, 6:44 PM EST. Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc (BXMT) traded with a 10%+ dividend yield after annualizing its quarterly payout to $1.88 per share, with intraday prices near $18.59. The article notes dividends as a key part of total return, contrasting the modest long-term gains from price alone with the potential lift from sustained income. It cites a hypothetical IWV example showing dividends can boost total returns, though continued sustainability of a high yield remains a key question. BXMT sits in the Russell 3000, underscoring its size, but readers are reminded that dividend amounts are not always predictable and depend on profits and capital needs. For further context, check BXMT's dividend history.

Camden Property Trust CPT Yields Above 4% as Dividend Appeal Grows

November 24, 2025, 6:43 PM EST. Camden Property Trust (CPT) is yielding above 4% after its quarterly dividend of $4 annualized, with shares trading near $99.46. The article notes that dividends can play a meaningful role in total return, citing a long-run example from the SPY showing how dividends boosted returns despite price fluctuations. CPT is an S&P 500 component, underscoring its large-cap status. While a 4% yield looks attractive, dividend stability depends on corporate profitability; investors should review CPT's history and payout trajectory to gauge sustainability. As always, compare to other income opportunities and consider the broader market backdrop. The takeaway: a 4%+ yield on CPT may appeal to income-focused buyers, but due diligence on payout reliability remains essential.

Texas invites NYSE and CME to relocate to Texas, citing free-market leadership

November 24, 2025, 6:24 PM EST. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued an historic invitation for the NYSE and the CME to relocate to the Lone Star State, arguing that Texas offers a model of free markets, economic freedom, and limited government. Miller faulted New York City and Chicago for what he called hostile business climates and said Texas would be a better home for markets that link farmers, energy producers, and investors. He framed the move as complementary to the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) and a way to strengthen supply chains by bringing trading activity closer to producers of cattle, cotton, grain, and energy. Supporters say a Texas relocation could create a national finance hub that aligns with the state's growth agenda.

November 24, 2025, 6:06 PM EST. Grayscale's Dogecoin ETF GDOG launched on the NYSE Arca as the crypto market faced weakness and Bitcoin outflows.

Sugar Prices Edge Higher Ahead of Indian Ethanol Push and Export Quota, Amid Global Surplus

November 24, 2025, 6:02 PM EST. March NY sugar #11 is up about 0.95% and March London white sugar is modestly higher, as prices consolidate below last week's one-month highs. The rally is bolstered by expectations that India may boost ethanol pricing to support gasoline blending, potentially encouraging mills to divert cane crush toward ethanol rather than sugar, trimming domestic sugar supply. India also signaled a 1.5 MMT export quota for 2025/26, though ISO still projects a global sugar surplus in 2025-26, aided by bigger output in India, Thailand, and Pakistan. A record Brazil crop and strong Center-South output weigh on the market, keeping gains capped despite near-term support from India.

Investors should note the current yield relative to peers and the risk of non-cumulative payments.

Alight (ALIT) Declares $0.04 Dividend: 8.1% Yield With Cautious Sustainability Outlook

November 24, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT) will pay a $0.04 dividend on December 15, delivering an 8.1% yield as the stock has fallen ~48% in the last three months. The jump in yield is largely due to price declines rather than dividend growth. The company is not profitable, but free cash flow is sufficient to cover the payout. Analysts expect earnings to rise next year, which could improve dividend sustainability, but the payout ratio is projected to remain modest (around 0.6%). Caution remains: the dividend track record is short and a warning sign has been flagged. For income-focused investors, Alight offers a high near-term yield, but stability over time is not yet proven.

CleanSpark Stock Jumps After JPMorgan Upgrade to Overweight on HPC/Data-Center Momentum

November 24, 2025, 5:46 PM EST.

Technically, CLSK trades about 28.6% below its 50-day MA and ~1.5% above the 200-day MA, with an RSI of 26.99 signaling oversold momentum. The nearest support sits at $9.81, while the 52-week high near $23.61 looms as a potential upside. At press time, CLSK was up roughly 13.9% around $11.08.

3 Advertising & Marketing Stocks to Watch Amid Industry Woes

November 24, 2025, 5:40 PM EST.

The sector benefits from economic recovery and steady demand, with services activity and PMI improving. While overall industry demand is expected to gradually recover toward pre-pandemic levels and support dividend stability, investors may see volatility.

November 24, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Arabica futures extended gains as Brazil dryness concerns mount after Somar Meteorologia reported Minas Gerais received 26.4 mm of rain (about 49% of the historical average).

November 24, 2025, 5:30 PM EST. March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) up +0.83%, December ICE London cocoa (CAZ25) down -2.06%.

Ivory Coast shipments Oct 1 – Nov 23 totaled 618,899 MT, down 3.7% year over year. The Ivory Coast remains the world's largest cocoa producer, reinforcing the impact of port delays and harvest conditions.

However, weak global demand remains a headwind, with mixed grindings data from Asia, Europe, and North America. West Africa harvests appear healthy, with favorable weather supporting pod development and quality prospects, while policy moves like tariff adjustments also influence sentiment.

The Bitcoin funding rate turned negative, signaling more bearish bets in perpetual futures, and open interest remains well below late-October highs. Traders watch $85,200 as a critical guardrail; without a broader turnaround, November could mark Bitcoin's worst month since 2022's FTX fallout. Demand for risk hedges via put options around $80,000 remains robust, underscoring cautious sentiment until fresh catalysts emerge.

NYSE Debut: Franklin Templeton XRPZ and Grayscale GXRP Lead Early Trading in XRP Spot ETFs

November 24, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ and Grayscale's GXRP have gone live on the NYSE as the first direct XRP spot ETFs, offering investors regulated exposure to the digital asset without crypto wallets.

In the first 90 minutes, XRPZ led trading with thousands of shares and multi-million dollar value, signaling growing confidence in regulated XRP exposure.

Crude Prices Climb on Energy Demand Optimism as Markets Rally

November 24, 2025, 5:14 PM EST. January WTI crude oil (CLF26) and January RBOB gasoline (RBF26) edged higher after broad stock gains suggested improving risk appetite and an upbeat economic outlook.

Analysts note exporters like OPEC+ are managing supply while demand signals remain firm, and US/EIA estimates point to continued domestic production strength. Tanker data showing higher floating inventories and ongoing refinery constraints add nuance to the supply picture. In a shifting geopolitical backdrop, traders weigh sanctions risk, supply cuts, and global surplus projections as prices consolidate.

Trump's Personal Crypto Crash: Wealth Dips as Bitcoin Slumps

November 24, 2025, 5:08 PM EST. A Bloomberg analysis shows President Trump's net worth has fallen about $1 billion from a September peak as crypto holdings falter. Bitcoin slumped from around $110,000 to as low as $84,000, erasing over $1 trillion in crypto value in the period. The Trump family's stake in Trump Media & Technology Group has declined about $800 million in three months, after a spring move into crypto that aimed to boost asset values. The family's WLFI token has lost roughly $3 billion since its September launch, a figure Bloomberg did not include in the loss calculation because the token can't yet be traded. Other billionaires, like Michael Saylor, have seen declines, but Trump can still mint more coins. Eric Trump framed the pullback as a buying opportunity.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Valuation Under Spotlight After Recent Surge: Is There More Upside?

November 24, 2025, 4:40 PM EST. Alphabet (GOOGL) has surged about 15% in the last month and roughly 45% over three months, spurring fresh debates on its valuation. The stock shows a robust one-year total shareholder return near 80%, driven by solid quarterly results and optimism about long-term growth. Bulls argue the stock is an innovation platform rather than a traditional tech juggernaut, powered by AI monetization, profitable Cloud, and expanding YouTube monetization. The question remains whether this momentum leaves room for further upside or if shares already reflect the growth story. Key risks include regulatory pressure and potential competition from AI-powered search. Investors should weigh the premium attached to high cash flow, margins, and the balance sheet against regulatory and competitive headwinds.

November 24, 2025, 4:34 PM EST. NOV Inc shareholders can pursue income enhancement by selling the January 2028 covered call at the $20 strike and collecting the $1.90 bid, which implies a new YieldBoost of about 5.9% annualized on top of the existing dividend, for a combined 7.9% annualized if the stock stays below $20.

YieldBoost THO: 7.3% Yield With January 2028 Covered Call at $130

November 24, 2025, 4:14 PM EST. Investors chasing income in THO can sell a January 2028 covered call at the $130 strike, collecting a $11.50 bid premium that annualizes to about 5.2%. When added to the stock's 2% annual dividend yield, this yields a total of 7.3% if the option expires worthless. If THO is called away, upside above $130 is forfeited; the stock would need to advance roughly 28.2% to trigger a call. In that event, the shareholder would lock in around 39.6% total return from this level, not counting dividends received prior to the call. The approach hinges on volatility (about 41% trailing) and a view on Thor's dividend history and profitability.

Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Oversold RSI 29.7; DividendRank Top 10% With 14% Yield

November 24, 2025, 4:12 PM EST. Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) sits in the DividendRank top 10% of its dividend stock universe, signaling strong fundamentals paired with attractive valuation.

At a recent price near $8.52, ABR's annualized dividend of $1.20 implies a solid 14.08% yield for income-focused investors, based on the price. The combination of a high DividendRank and a compressed price could offer an entry point for buyers if fundamental dividend history remains intact. Investors should review ABR's dividend history and risk factors before acting.

The breakout yields about 7.8% on the session. The chart shows a one-year view with the 200-day MA acting as resistance turned support. Traders view the bullish cross as a potential signal of renewed upside momentum and a test of the 52-week range from $57.36 to $85.11.

This breakout above the 200-DMA may signal renewed near-term momentum, though traders should consider volume and broader market context before drawing conclusions.

Live Nation Entertainment (LYV) Hits Oversold RSI of 28.9: Potential Entry Point

November 24, 2025, 3:59 PM EST. Legendary investor Warren Buffett's adage about fear and greed frames the latest move in Live Nation Entertainment (LYV). The stock's RSI dipped to a 28.9 today, signaling an oversold condition as it traded as low as $127.76. Compared with the SPY's ~48.4 RSI, LYV's softness may reflect near-term capitulation rather than a lasting breakdown. A cautious trader could view the 28.9 RSI as a sign selling pressure is waning and look for an entry point on the buy side if more technical confirmation appears. LYV's 52-week range sits between about $112.88 and $175.25, with the latest print around $128.29. Note: charts and opinions reflect the author.

YieldBoost MATX: How a January 2028 Covered Call Could Lift Matson's Yield to ~5.5%

November 24, 2025, 3:56 PM EST. Investors in Matson Inc (MATX) can boost income by selling the January 2028 covered call at the $150 strike with a $9.50 bid premium. The premium annualizes to about 4.2%, adding to MATX's 1.4% dividend yield for a combined 5.5% annualized return if the stock stays below $150. If MATX is called away, upside is capped, requiring a roughly 41.8% rally to be called, yielding about 50.8% total return from this level plus any pre-call dividends. The strategy depends on volatility-roughly 44% trailing-and the balance of dividend predictability with option-time value. For other expiration ideas, see StockOptionsChannel's MATX page.

YieldBoost OTIS: Turn 1.9% Yield into ~7.4% With a June 2026 Covered Call (OTIS, $95)

November 24, 2025, 3:55 PM EST. OTIS shareholders can boost income by selling the June 2026 covered call at the $95 strike and taking the $2.70 bid premium. Annualized, that premium implies about 5.5% of additional return on top of the current 1.9% dividend, for a total around 7.4% if OTIS stays below the strike. If the stock is called away above $95, upside is capped, but a roughly 9% stock rise makes assignment likely, delivering about 12.1% total return plus any dividends collected beforehand. This strategy hinges on trailing 12-month volatility ~25% and option liquidity; however, dividend amounts are not guaranteed. In short, selling the June 2026 / $95 call offers a clear YieldBoost but with upside cap and dividend risk.

NVIDIA: Why a $500 Investment Could Turn Into Big Gains on AI-Chip Growth

November 24, 2025, 3:50 PM EST. NVIDIA trades at about 24x forward earnings as data-center demand for its GPUs stays strong. The company posted a 25% quarterly rise in data-center revenue to $51B, fueled by AI chip demand from cloud providers. The stock sits amid a long-term shift from CPUs to accelerated computing, with AI-powered applications driving a durable growth runway. For a $500 investment, the favorable multiple and high-margin model offer potential upside over several years, though investors should weigh opportunity cost and valuation risk. Note: Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendations differ, and NVIDIA wasn't always among their top picks; disclosures show John Ballard holds NVIDIA shares and The Fool holds positions.

Over the past year, PGY has traded within a 52-week range of $8.27 to $44.99, highlighting a wide trading range. Investors will watch whether this breakout sustains and if volume confirms the move.

Combined with CTRA's 3.4% dividend, the total potential annualized yield rises to roughly 5.5% if the stock stays below the strike. If shares are called away, upside is capped at 35, unless the stock would need to rally about 34.1% to trigger assignment, yielding an additional 36.6% return from this level plus dividends earned. Note that dividends can vary with profitability, and volatility for CTRA is around 31%. Investors should weigh upside risk vs. income before using this strategy.

The broader market attempted to rebound from recent softness as the New York Fed signaled room for a potential December rate cut. Still, indices remain down for November as investors reassess valuations of AI-linked names, with lighter volumes potentially amplifying swings ahead of the Fed's December policy meeting.

3 Hotel Stocks Worth Watching Amid Industry Headwinds

November 24, 2025, 3:38 PM EST. Amid economic uncertainty, labor shortages and soft occupancy, the Zacks Hotels & Motels group faces pressure on RevPAR and margins. However, operators are pursuing growth strategies-portfolio expansion, conversion of properties, partnerships, and enhanced loyalty programs-that could support long-term profitability. Major players such as Marriott International (MAR), Hilton Worldwide Holdings (HLT), and Choice Hotels International (CHH) are positioned to benefit from digitalization and diversification while managing costs. Short-term headwinds like rising wages and soft travel demand weigh on near-term results, but improving loyalty programs, selective development, and efficiency gains could help stabilize occupancy and RevPAR trends. Investors may want to watch these names for exposure to the reopened travel cycle and ongoing demand for upscale to midscale lodging.

Last week's declines left the S&P 500 down 3.5% for November and the Nasdaq off about 6% for the month. Markets are watching earnings, Fed commentary, and macro data for direction, with investors seeking late-year opportunities despite uncertainties.

San Francisco Crypto Heist: $11M Stolen in Gunpoint Attack as 'Wrench Attacks' Surge

November 24, 2025, 3:32 PM EST. San Francisco police say a thief posing as a delivery driver entered a home, brandished a gun and escaped with $11 million in cryptocurrency, marking one of the year's largest crypto robberies in the U.S. The attack is part of a rising trend called "wrench attacks," where physical coercion targets crypto holders to reveal passwords or transfer funds. No arrests have been announced, and victim details remain scarce. The surge in wrench-style incidents-more than 60 reported in 2025, up 169% since February and higher than 2024-has drawn attention from security researchers. They note the wave coincides with ongoing market strength, affecting Bitcoin and other major digital assets, and underscores persistent security risks for investors.

Upbit Eyes Nasdaq IPO After Naver Merger to Acquire Dunamu

November 24, 2025, 3:30 PM EST. South Korea's Upbit is nearing a potential Nasdaq listing after reports that internet giant Naver plans to acquire its parent Dunamu in a multibillion-dollar stock-swap merger. Under revised terms, Upbit would become a Naver subsidiary, potentially accelerating a Nasdaq debut as early as 2026 if conditions stabilize. The deal would put Naver in control of a dominant crypto trading platform, handling a large share of domestic volume (peaking around 80%). 2025 turnover neared the trillions of won mark, underscoring Upbit's earnings power. Analysts say the merger could unlock synergies, improve regulatory clarity, and support a cross-border listing path. If approved, the Nasdaq ambitions would reinforce Asia's growing digital-finance story and reshape the region's IPO landscape.

ConocoPhillips: Independent E&P, High Upside, and 2029 Free Cash Flow Momentum

November 24, 2025, 3:28 PM EST. ConocoPhillips operates as an independent exploration-and-production company with a distinct model from integrated players like Exxon and Chevron. Production is about 2.4 million BOE/d, and its strategy centers on growing free cash flow through long-cycle capital projects and global LNG investments, not just US shale. By spinning off Phillips 66 in 2012, ConocoPhillips focused on high-quality, low-cost resources, trading some downside risk for upside exposure as oil demand and prices rise. Management argues these long-cycle projects could double free cash flow by 2029, offering higher upside potential but also greater price risk. Investors should weigh the diversified portfolio, geographic footprint, and timing risk before buying.

Upbit Eyes Nasdaq IPO After Dunamu-Naver Merger

November 24, 2025, 3:26 PM EST. Upbit's parent Dunamu is reportedly eyeing a Nasdaq IPO after its merger with Naver, potentially creating a bridge between crypto and conventional finance. CoinDesk cited media reports that the deal, expected to close this week, would form a unified entity linking Upbit's position as South Korea's largest crypto exchange with Naver's FinTech ecosystem. The potential tie-up follows earlier talk of a Dunamu-Naver merger and signals regulators' openness to crypto innovation in Korea. A combined Upbit-Naver platform could accelerate digital asset adoption in commerce and finance, leveraging Naver Pay's wide user base alongside Upbit's trading platform. If realized, the IPO would underscore the growing convergence of cryptocurrency, fintech, and traditional markets in a rapidly evolving sector.

JPMorgan strategist: 40% crash unlikely; 401(k)s safer amid AI rally

November 24, 2025, 3:08 PM EST. Amid AI-driven stock concentration, veteran strategist Michael Cembalest of JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management argues a 40% crash on the big table is unlikely for now. He says a correction is possible, but diversified retirement accounts-especially 401(k)s-are cushioned because today's AI investments are largely financed with internally generated cash, not debt, unlike past booms. He contrasts his view with bearish voices such as Aswath Damodaran and the so-called Dr. Doom refrain that valuations are stretched. Cembalest notes the macro risk differs from prior bubbles, with capital spending funded by corporate cash flow rather than debt, and points out Oracle as an exception. While a further correction could shake markets, the path to a systemic unwind appears less likely than during earlier crises, he says.

Trump Family Crypto Rout: Memecoin Down 25% as Eric Trump's Bitcoin and Truth Social Valuation Fall

November 24, 2025, 3:06 PM EST. New data from Bloomberg ties a broad crypto sell-off – part of a $1 trillion market rout – to material losses for the Trump family. The Trump-associated memecoin has fallen about 25% since August, while Eric Trump's Bitcoin-mining stake has shed roughly 50% from its peak. Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of Truth Social, has seen its stock-valuation swing toward loss, with the stake down by about $800 million since September. The downturn comes as the family's crypto investments also weighed on their net worth, which Bloomberg tracks lower amid the market decline. Proponents like Eric Trump frame declines as buying opportunities and long-term bets on crypto, even as the broader market remains volatile.

Trimble: Growth at a Reasonable Price Fueled by ARR Expansion and AI

November 24, 2025, 3:04 PM EST. Trimble (TRMB) blends hardware precision with software that converts positioning data into actionable workflows for construction, geospatial, agriculture, and transportation. The result is mid-teens growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and expanding margins, supported by a software-and-services mix that now accounts for about 80% of revenue. With about two-thirds of revenue recurring, free cash flow (FCF) is rising and expected to grow at roughly 26.6% CAGR from 2024-2027, driving a valuation of about 17.6x FCF in 2027. Management plans to return a third of FCF via buybacks, underscoring shareholder-friendly discipline. The AI infusion into analytics should further lift efficiency and ARR growth, making Trimble a compelling GARP pick for investors willing to look beyond headline numbers.

Crypto Crash Hits Trump Family Investments and Followers

November 24, 2025, 3:00 PM EST. Alarm bells sounded as the broader crypto slide pulled down high-risk bets associated with President Trump's allies and followers. The downturn has eroded portfolios heavy with cryptocurrencies, private tokens, and related blockchain ventures, forcing a reevaluation of risk management and liquidity. Financial movers in the Trump ecosystem had leaned into digital assets as a play on political influence and alternative capital, but the rapid derisking has exposed concentrations and amplified sales pressure amid margin calls. Analysts warn the spillover could affect donor networks, political campaigns, and small businesses tied to crypto ventures. The story tracks what's been sold, what survived, and what it means for market sentiment toward altcoins, stablecoins, and the wider crypto economy.

Bitkub Weighs Hong Kong IPO as Thai Market Slumps

November 24, 2025, 2:54 PM EST. Thai crypto exchange Bitkub is exploring a Hong Kong IPO after a slide in the domestic market dampened prospects for a Thailand listing. People familiar with the talks say the exchange could seek about $200 million in fresh capital, aligning with Hong Kong's bid to attract crypto issuers. A move overseas may also offer a more favorable regulatory environment as Thailand tightens crypto oversight. Bitkub, founded in 2018, had weighed a listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand but searches for growth abroad amid the SET Index decline. Hong Kong is expanding a formal licensing regime for digital assets to lure both retail and institutional buyers, boosting its IPO pipeline.

Raymond James Names Nvidia the Stronger AI Chip Stock to Buy Now

November 24, 2025, 2:22 PM EST. Raymond James analyst Simon Leopold says the AI boom is boosting a durable demand cycle for logic semiconductors and names two chip stocks as Buys: Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), with a clear edge to the stronger AI chip stock, Nvidia. Nvidia remains the AI GPU leader, commanding about 85% of the AI-chip market, and posted strong fundamentals: about $130.5B in fiscal 2025 revenue and a stock up roughly 33% this year. With a $4.34T market cap, Nvidia is positioned at the center of the AI equipment and cloud-build ecosystem, as vendor financing and model-builder investments bolster ROI scrutiny. The note frames the rally as real and encourages investors to consider Nvidia first, while AMD is also a Buy option.

Raymond James: Nvidia Is the Stronger AI Chip Stock to Buy Now vs. AMD

November 24, 2025, 2:20 PM EST. Raymond James analyst Simon Leopold casts a bullish view on AI demand and says that the foundational demand for logic semiconductors underpins long-term growth. In his note, he flags Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as the stronger AI chip stock today, with Nvidia commanding roughly 85% of the AI-chip market and posting year-to-date gains and a towering market cap of about $4.34 trillion. The firm also mentions Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) as a Buy, but Leopold emphasizes Nvidia's leading position and explosive growth (fiscal year 2025 revenue near $130.5 billion; cloud GPUs sold out). The takeaway: investors can ride the AI tech boom through semiconductor leadership, while scrutiny on ROI persists amid market volatility.
