IBM has raised its dividend for three decades straight, but the latest increase fits on a penny. Before counting on that income to keep pace with rising costs, retirees should understand what the streak actually delivers.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has turned into a headline stock after a rapid multi‑year run, which naturally puts the focus on whether the current share price lines up with the cash it can generate over time. With fresh enthusiasm around its role in enterprise infrastructure and AI spending, the question now is whether those expectations are fully backed by the company’s underlying cash flows. Over the past 5 years, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has returned about 418.9%, which makes the gap...

Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is quite important when it comes to the AI buildout. The shares are down by more than 20% year-to-date. Cramer mentioned Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) in a tweet made close to midday on the 17th. The shares closed 5% higher that day: “Strength in Oracle is a very positive sign…” What Cramer meant […]

Shares of enterprise software giant Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) fell 3.4% in the afternoon session after Business Insider reported that co-CEO Clay Magouyrk stated during an internal town hall that the company previously struggled to make generative artificial intelligence useful for its own staff despite spending billions building out AI infrastructure for others.

If you own Workday (WDAY) or Autodesk (ADSK), you hold the same bet: the company that already keeps a customer's data gets paid as that customer adopts AI. Workday keeps HR and finance records, and Autodesk keeps design, manufacturing, and construction data.

DTE Energy has been quietly signing contracts with some of the biggest hyperscalers on the planet, and the numbers behind that pipeline suggest most investors are not yet pricing in what it could mean for earnings growth.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has returned 156% over the trailing twelve months, and the stock now sits right at the top of its 52-week range. The next leg is the hard one. What could power it is already on the company's books: orders it has taken and cannot yet ship.

Snowflake (SNOW) has returned about 53% over the past year, and its product revenue growth has accelerated for three straight quarters. In early September, the company cut its fiscal 2027 non-GAAP product gross margin guide by a point, to 74%, pointing to a heavier mix of fast-growing AI workloads that carry a lower contribution margin. So what happens to the stock if that mix keeps shifting.

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX ) (SPY ) is down by -0.11% today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI ) (DIA ) is down by -0.39%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX ) (QQQ ) is up +0.09%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ26 ) are down -0.15%, and December E-mini...

The sale was planned months ago, but its timing comes as Oracle's AI business and its stock move in very different directions.

CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares fell over 4% Thursday after the AI infrastructure company announced plans to raise $3 billion through convertible debt, with an option for another $500 million. The fresh financing comes as new research mapping $3.6 trillion across the...

XLK and AMD approach key breakout levels while Oracle builds a potential base around its 50-day EMA.

Should investors be excited or worried when a stock crosses above the 20-day simple moving average?

Oracle's AI backlog is exploding while its stock has been cut nearly in half, and that contradiction is forcing a fundamental question about whether Wall Street has this completely backwards.

Ives pointed to Meta’s roughly 3.5 billion users, noting that companies with large existing user bases have an advantage in monetizing AI.

IBM's Software growth slows in Q2, but recurring revenue, Red Hat and Data gains may help offset weakness in Transaction Processing.

SNOW's product revenues jump 37% in fiscal Q2 as AI adoption, core platform consumption, and enterprise expansion strengthen its competitive position.

Microsoft (MSFT) stock has returned about 32% since mid-June 2026. The S&P 500 returned about 3% over the same window, and peers moved in both directions: Alphabet fell 4.5% while Apple returned 14.0%. Neither came close to Microsoft, so this was not a sector tide. It was one company, and Microsoft had spent three quarters explaining out loud how internal capacity allocation decisions had constrained Azure's reported growth.

Expanse has secured $5.3 million in seed funding to advance its AI infrastructure software, which is designed to enhance resource allocation efficiency in AI workloads. The platform predicts the exact computational resources needed before AI tasks are executed, thereby minimizing over-allocation and optimizing GPU, CPU, and memory usage. This development addresses critical inefficiencies, as industry estimates indicate significant percentages of cloud expenditures are wasted due to...

Oracle is sitting on a $664 billion backlog while Meta just watched its free cash flow crater by more than 90%, yet both companies are pouring tens of billions into AI compute every quarter with no clear timeline for the cash to follow.

I am not opposed to credit rating agencies giving companies time to prove their business models. However, the numbers must also make sense.

SoftBank Group Corp. has increased its margin loan backed by shares of its chip unit Arm Holdings Plc by $5 billion to $25 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, as the conglomerate finds ways to fund its expanding investments in artificial intelligence.

Oracle (ORCL) is back in focus after reaffirming that its Project Jupiter data center in New Mexico is proceeding under existing county permits, while a separate microgrid faces a stayed air quality review. Oracle shares have been volatile, with the stock up 2.0% in the last session but down 11.4% over the past week and roughly 26.9% year to date on a share price basis. The 1 year total shareholder return of about a 52.0% decline contrasts with 3 year and 5 year total shareholder returns of...

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after Treasury yields retreated below 5% and oil prices declined, sparking a recovery across growth-oriented equities following the Federal Reserve's interest rate increase.

International Business Machines (IBM) shares trade near $237, and options price a one-year range around that from $161.75 to $348.69. That band is the calmer version of this stock. Over the past year IBM moved harder than its options now assume. The business question hanging over IBM comes from the second quarter of 2026: whether the software deals that slipped were delayed or lost.

Cost reductions support Oracle's infrastructure sprint while free cash flow remains deeply negative.

CoreWeave (CRWV) spends far more on building out its AI cloud than its operations generate in cash. Management says each build is paid for up front with debt, customer prepayments, and other capital.

Salesforce (CRM) trades near $250 a share, close to its 52-week high after a fast three-month run. Selling a put pays you now for agreeing to buy it much lower later, and you keep the payment either way. The catch: you only want this if you would be glad to own Salesforce at that lower price. The open part of that answer is how much its new agent products can actually be charged for.

Broadcom and Oracle have underperformed over the past year, but they could jump significantly given their impressive growth and bright prospects.

Adobe (ADBE) trades near $250, down about 28% over the past year while the S&P 500 gained about 16%. Over the past three months the stock has returned about 21%. The market pays 13.9 times trailing earnings for a company that just reported record quarterly revenue. A multiple that low prices Adobe as if meaningful growth is off the table. The scenario below tests that pricing, and its answer rests on whether Adobe's free users ever start paying.
