Micron Prints Perfect, and Now the Chart Has to Answer

Netflix stock has fallen 22.3% year-to-date and now trades at a cheaper valuation than six of the Magnificent Seven stocks.

This ETF Has More Than Doubled the S&P 500's Returns Over the Past Decade. Is It a Buy for the Next Decade?

The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ), which tracks the Nasdaq-100, has returned 570% over the past decade compared to the S&P 500's 255%. While much of this outperformance is driven by the AI boom and the Magnificent Seven mega-cap tech stocks (which comprise 35% of the fund), the author believes QQQ remains a solid long-term investment due to diverse growth opportunities across cloud computing, enterprise software, biotech, and retail. However, the author cautions that expecting 21% annual returns going forward is unrealistic, and investors should be mindful of overlap between QQQ and S&P 500 holdings.

Better Buy: SpaceX or the "Magnificent Seven"?

SpaceX's recent IPO has brought it to trillion-dollar valuation comparable to tech giants, but the article argues it remains overvalued compared to the Magnificent Seven. While SpaceX generated $18.7B in revenue in 2025 with a negative 26% profit margin, achieving its 45% target margin would still leave it far behind established tech leaders in absolute profits. The analysis suggests SpaceX would need seven years of 40% annual growth to match Amazon's profit levels, meaning significant future growth is already priced into the stock. The author recommends the Magnificent Seven companies as better investments with less speculative valuation.

Danaher Is Down 22% This Year. Is the Masimo Acquisition the Entry Point Investors Have Been Waiting for?

Danaher's stock has fallen 22% this year following its $9.9 billion acquisition of Masimo, which expands the company into clinical patient monitoring.

Micron Under the Spotlight: What to Expect From Today’s Quarterly Earnings Report?

Micron Technology faces highly anticipated quarterly earnings with exceptionally high analyst expectations already priced into the stock. The company's extreme volatility (beta 2.08, standard deviation ~50%) and history of sharp price swings mean that simply beating consensus may not be enough to satisfy the market. While the stock trades above its estimated fair value, analysts remain constructive on AI-driven memory demand, but investors should brace for significant post-earnings price movements.
