Micron Technology Stock Is Cheaper Than the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100. Here's Why I'm Still Not Buying It.

Despite Micron Technology trading at a cheap valuation (P/E of 19.8) with explosive earnings growth driven by AI infrastructure demand, the analyst warns against buying due to concerns about the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. As major tech companies face rising AI infrastructure costs and begin limiting spending, the current boom is likely temporary, and Micron's pricing power will erode as new manufacturing capacity comes online.

This Overlooked AI Trade Has Been Quietly Outperforming Nvidia Over the Last 6 Months

While Nvidia remains a top AI stock, Rivian Automotive has quietly outperformed it over the last six months by heavily investing in AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology. The EV maker is positioning itself as a supplier to robotaxi operators, with a major $1.25 billion deal with Uber for 50,000 R2 SUVs. Despite current losses, Rivian's smaller market cap ($24B vs Nvidia's $4.8T) offers greater growth potential if autonomous driving becomes mainstream by 2031.

Does PayPal Have a Buyer?

Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have submitted a joint proposal to acquire PayPal for $60.50 per share, valuing the company at over $53 billion—a 28% premium. The deal would be structured as a 50/50 partnership to keep PayPal intact rather than break it up. While the offer highlights PayPal's fall from its $360 billion pandemic-era peak, analysts debate whether the price is sufficient and whether the partnership structure can work given inherent tensions between Stripe's growth ambitions and Advent's cash flow optimization goals.

Is Tesla’s Earnings Miss and Negative Free Cash Flow a Red Flag for Rivian and Lucid Investors?

Tesla's stock fell 15% after reporting earnings that missed expectations, with weak margins and negative free cash flow of $1.09 billion due to surging capital expenditures.
