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...

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.
Barron's sees stabilization; Ellison's canceled sale removes insider supply without adding corporate cash.

Oracle is sliding hard on a day when its cloud rivals are barely flinching, and the reason behind that split tells investors something important about where the real pressure on ORCL stock is coming from.

One company is growing at a pace that is almost impossible to find in semiconductors. The other has reinvented itself as a contracted AI infrastructure play with billions in guaranteed revenue.

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.

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.

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...
