These stocks have climbed quickly, but they could fall just as quickly.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led many businesses to look at how to incorporate the technology into their operations to improve earnings results. Out of the 500 companies in the S&P 500, 287 mentioned AI during their earnings call in the most recent quarter. That's up from less than 100 as of the end of 2022, when OpenAI's ChatGPT first came on the scene.While investor excitement has pushed many AI stocks significa ...

While one forever stock in Buffett's portfolio wins on points, another one arguably wins on potential.I don't know if I could pick just a single Warren Buffett quote as my favorite. There are simply too many great statements he has made through the years. However, one of his most memorable quotes came in his 1988 letter to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 0.55%) (BRK.B 1.06%) shareholders: "[W]hen we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever." While ...

This AI stock has nearly quadrupled in 2025.What companies come to mind first when you hear the words "artificial intelligence"? I suspect that Nvidia, ChatGPT creator OpenAI, or Google parent Alphabet would rank near the top of the list for many investors.On the other hand, I doubt that Nebius Group (NBIS -0.22%) would be among the most common responses. But maybe it should. This underrated AI stock could be the best growth story of the decade. "Exciting times"Nebius' primary focus is on its AI cloud platf ...

The S&P 500 is still a smart all-around option, but there's good reason to start thinking about other index funds.There's never really a bad time to buy the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO 0.60%). But there are better times than others: It's better to buy on a dip than at a peak, for instance. If your goal is to simply plug into the broad market's long-term performance, though, your best bet is just stepping in whenever you have some otherwise idle cash you're looking to put to work.Every now and then, though, it ...

High yields are often a red flag, but investors have the green light to grab shares of these juicy dividend stocks.Everyone loves passive income. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy earning money while you sleep?Not literally, of course, but with dividend stocks. These are stocks of companies that distribute some of their profits to shareholders. While higher dividend yields mean more income for your money, it can be a yield trap when stock yields get too high.But not all high-yield stocks pose a danger to your port ...

I've waited years for a timely opportunity such as this.I believe that shares of restaurant chain Wingstop (WING -0.83%) will outperform shares of the world's largest pizza chain, Domino's Pizza (DPZ 3.14%), over the next five years. But give me time to back up this claim.Domino's Pizza is still a great business and it's a stock with a lot to like. As of the second quarter of 2025, it had more than 21,000 locations worldwide, 99% of which are owned by franchisees. This means that the parent company generate ...

Circular financing adds a big new risk.Nvidia's (NVDA 0.27%) announcement that it will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI is being hailed by the company as a massive bet on the future of artificial intelligence (AI). Still, investors should take a closer look at what is really going on here. The money OpenAI receives will ultimately be plowed right back into Nvidia hardware, mostly through Oracle's cloud buildout, where the two companies recently signed a massive $300 billion deal. OpenAI plans to deploy N ...

Costco delivered another rock-solid earnings report.Costco Wholesale (COST -2.92%) is one of the most dominant retailers in the world, and it continues to outpace its brick-and-mortar peers, quarter in and quarter out.Costco keeps opening stores around the world, differentiating itself from other retail giants like Walmart and Home Depot, and it's seeing strong growth in e-commerce, showing that there's plenty of untapped demand for the buy-in-bulk, big-box chain.Those trends were on display in Costco's fis ...

The story is a fascinating one, but stories alone don't generate revenue. And they certainly don't produce a profit.Replacing ordinary silicon with silicon carbide has never been a bad idea. The carbon-toughened version of the simple material can be used for higher voltage applications like solar inverters and electric vehicles, since it tolerates higher levels of heat. It's also just more power-efficient. That's why no one's criticized Wolfspeed (WOLF -34.87%) for doubling down on the science by virtue of ...
