JPMorgan set a serious Microsoft stock price target for 2027
Microsoft stock spent most of 2026 in the penalty box. The AI spending looked too heavy. The returns were not yet visible. Then the company reported fourth-quarter results on July 29, and the stock jumped more than 27%. Azure crossed $100 billion. Copilot showed real adoption numbers. The narrative shifted. Two weeks later, JPMorgan is following that shift with a price target that says Microsoft has a long way left to run. Analyst Samik Chatterjee raised his December 2027 target to $625 from $550 on Aug. 13 while keeping his Overweight rating, according to Seeking Alpha. That implies roughly 3

Is S&P Global (SPGI) Overvalued Following Its Expanded Microsoft AI Partnership?
S&P Global (SPGI) has recently expanded its AI partnership with Microsoft, integrating its data and analytics into Microsoft 365 Copilot tools. Despite this development and recent positive short-term share price performance, the stock's year-to-date return is down, and it is currently considered 11.2% overvalued with a fair value of $380 against a last close of $422.67. This overvaluation is attributed to near-term AI-related uncertainty, slower growth expectations, and shifting investor sentiment, particularly in its ratings segment.

Microsoft (MSFT) Is Pulling Back From China. Should Investors Worry?
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) once treated the idea of leaving China as unthinkable. Back in 2010, when Google walked away over censorship concerns, Bill Gates and then-CEO Steve Ballmer thought Google was overreacting. Fast forward to August 13, and Reuters reports that at least 15 Microsoft branch offices and joint ventures in China have closed over the past five years, with the company even weighing a full exit in 2023. Microsoft insists it has no current plans to leave. Still, the retreat raises a fair question for anyone riding Microsoft's AI-driven rally: does China actually move the needle an

How Investors Are Reacting To Paychex (PAYX) Integrating WISE Into Microsoft 365 Copilot And Teams
Paychex (PAYX) recently integrated its AI-powered WISE engine into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams, expanding its human capital management capabilities into widely used workplace tools. This move aims to enhance workforce insights and streamline decision-making for businesses, though the article suggests the integration primarily reinforces Paychex's existing AI strategy rather than immediately altering its investment narrative, which remains focused on Paycor integration risks. Analysts have cautious revenue and earnings forecasts for Paychex, with some questioning the impact of the WISE integration on accelerating larger deals.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft: One of These Stocks Looks Like It Has the Least Upside Over the Next 12 Months, but There's a Catch
Among Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft, Microsoft appears to have the least upside potential over the next 12 months based on current analyst price targets. However, this outlook is skewed by a recent rapid surge in Microsoft's stock price following strong Q4 fiscal 2026 results. Analysts may revise their targets upwards as the initial rally subsides, suggesting the current projection isn't as negative as it initially seems.

Have Insiders Sold Microsoft Shares Recently?
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) insiders have recently sold shares, including a significant sale by Executive VP Judson Althoff for US$4.9m and another by President Bradford Smith for US$20m. While these sales reduced holdings, they occurred near the current share price, making them less concerning than sales at lower prices. Despite the insider selling, Microsoft shows strong earnings growth and significant insider ownership, though the selling activity suggests caution for investors.

Anthropic’s $965B IPO Path Runs Through Seven Compute Corridors Across Three Continents
Anthropic's $965 billion IPO path rests on the aggressive, multi-layered industrialization of compute. The company has transformed access from a variable cost into a structural moat by diversifying hardware and energy supply across three continents through seven distinct funding mechanisms — effectively decoupling its growth from the supply-chain bottlenecks that throttle competitors tethered to single-cloud dependencies. The portfolio maps a global footprint. In North America, the core relies on a multi-billion dollar agreement with AWS for Trainium chips and Project Rainier clusters, alongside capacity from Google TPUs, the SpaceX Colossus 1 facility in Memphis, AMD Instinct GPUs, and Microsoft Azure. The strategy extends to Europe via a $10 billion, six-year deal with Volta Infra in Norway, securing 133 MW of hydro-powered capacity housing Nvidia Vera Rubin hardware. Preliminary talks with Meta and reported Asia-Pacific activity round out a portfolio designed so that no single geopolitical or supply-chain failure can halt the company's inference engine. The financial engineering is the real story. Anthropic has stacked $71 billion in off-balance-sheet chip-lease debt through special purpose vehicles arranged by Apollo and Blackstone, with Broadcom providing a residual value backstop on roughly $30 billion of senior tranches. A preliminary $36 billion follow-on follows the same blueprint. The SPV acquires Google TPUs, leases them back to Anthropic, and the senior notes carry Broadcom's investment-grade credit rather than Anthropic's. The Volta arrangement adds a different mechanism: a $1.3 billion standby letter of credit from J.P. Morgan that shifts credit risk away from the seven-month-old startup and onto established financial institutions. Seven mechanisms, seven financing structures. AWS operates on a multi-billion dollar compute agreement. Google TPUs are funded through SPV-structured private credit. SpaceX Colossus runs on a ~$1.25 billion monthly lease through May 2029. AMD is committing up to $5 billion in strategic equity investment alongside 2 GW of Instinct MI450 capacity starting in H1 2027. Azure provides a third distribution channel without bespoke hardware. Volta anchors the European footprint through SBLC-backed credit substitution. Meta remains in preliminary talks. This infrastructure-first approach justifies the $965 billion post-money valuation established by the May 2026 Series H. Revenue scaled from $10 million ARR in early 2023 to $47 billion by May 2026 — roughly 4,700x in 41 months, with Claude Code alone contributing approximately $8 billion and enterprise API comprising 80 to 85 percent of the mix. The implied 20.5x annualized revenue multiple prices in not just model quality but the physical infrastructure required to deliver it. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are leading the underwriting for a confidential S-1 filed June 1, targeting October. Story Continues The Volta deal carries a source caveat worth noting: Bloomberg identified Anthropic as the unnamed lab on August 4, but Anthropic declined to comment. Reuters confirmed the agreement exists but could not independently verify the counterparty. Deal terms should be treated as reported. The broader implication is that Anthropic has achieved something none of its peers have managed: a compute architecture where no single landlord, cloud provider, or hardware vendor controls the bottleneck. Whether through off-balance-sheet SPVs, standby letters of credit, or direct equity investment, the company has assembled a funding mechanism for each major hardware and geography pairing. This trajectory completes the Compute Landlord Thesis, extending it through the SPV debt iteration, the SpaceX equity model, and the Google financing web. The $965 billion question for investors is not whether Claude is the best model. It is whether the machine running it — spread across seven corridors and three continents — can sustain the velocity that made $

I’m Buying Nvidia Ahead of Aug. 26 Earnings Exactly For The Reason You Think
Quick Read NVDA commands over 80% of the high-end AI accelerator market as Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon collectively commit $200B to AI infrastructure. AMD's MI-series and AVGO's custom silicon both lack NVDA's full-stack advantages, including CUDA lock-in, NVLink networking, and a 71% gross margin. China's export restrictions erased roughly $4.6B per quarter in H20 sales, yet management still guided Q2 revenue to $91B. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. I keep buying NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares, and the Aug. 26 earnings report is another reason to keep going.Shutterstock Here is the plain version of what pulls me back to the buy button. Jensen Huang calls this "the largest infrastructure expansion in human history", and every hyperscaler earnings report this cycle backed him up. Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon collectively guided to over $200 billion in AI infrastructure spend, and Nvidia commands over 80% market share in high-end AI accelerators. When the four biggest customers on the planet all commit to spending more, and one vendor sits in the middle of that check, I keep writing my own smaller checks into the same name. The Numbers That Keep My Hand on the Buy Button Start with the growth. Q1 FY27 revenue landed at $81.615 billion, up 85.23% year over year, beating estimates by 3.16%. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $1.87 versus a $1.7738 estimate, the fourth consecutive beat. Data Center revenue alone was $75.246 billion, up 92% YoY, with networking up 199%. Management guided Q2 FY27 to $91 billion, sequential acceleration on a base that already dwarfs the industry. Then the moat. Nvidia carries $119.0 billion of supply commitments and $30.0 billion of multi-year cloud service commitments. That is visibility. OpenAI committed to 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems, Meta signed a multigenerational deal across millions of Blackwell and Rubin GPUs, and CoreWeave is targeting 5+ gigawatts of AI factories by 2030. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. Then the balance sheet. Return on equity sits at 101.5%, net margin at 55.60%, debt to equity at 0.073, and interest coverage at 503x. The board raised the dividend from $0.01 to $0.25 per share and authorized an additional $80.0 billion buyback. That is what management confidence looks like on paper. Why Not the Obvious Alternatives The two names I hear most from friends are AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO). AMD's MI-series is a real product, and it competes without the CUDA software lock-in or NVLink networking that let Nvidia's Data Center Compute grow 77% YoY. Broadcom's custom silicon business is strong, and it is a components play into a few customers rather than a full-stack platform running a 71.07% gross margin. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has Trainium as a multibillion-dollar business now, and Nvidia's Data Center Compute still grew 77% YoY right through it. Story Continues The Risk I Am Not Ignoring China is the real one. Nvidia's Q2 guide excludes any Data Center compute revenue from China, erasing what used to be roughly $4.6 billion per quarter in H20 sales. That is real lost revenue. The thesis holds because non-China demand is more than offsetting the shortfall, and management still guided $91 billion in the same breath. Where My Conviction Goes From Here Shares closed at $217.55, up 16.79% year to date, on a P/E of 44. For a business generating $48.554 billion of free cash flow in a single quarter, with a 75% gross margin and a product roadmap that already extends through Rubin, I will keep clicking buy into Aug. 26 and after it settles. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. Contact editorial@247wallst.com for any questions or corrections. View Comments

Zuckerberg Plans to Spend $145 Billion on AI This Year. Barclays Says Major Productivity Gains Remain Elusive
Quick Read META's free cash flow crashed 91% on its $145B AI capex bet, while AMZN's AWS surged 37% as its own $220B spend still can't meet demand. Millar warns the 1980s IT boom took over a decade to lift productivity, and today's $800B annual AI spending cycle may repeat that same lag. It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor) Mark Zuckerberg is on track to spend as much as $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year, a figure that would have looked absurd just two years ago. It is now merely his share of an industry outlay approaching $800 billion across the biggest U.S. tech names. Yet in a CNBC segment on August 10, 2026, Barclays Senior U.S. Economist Jonathan Millar delivered a sobering counterpoint: all that capital has not yet shown up as measurable productivity gains in the broader economy.Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images Millar's framing is straightforward. "Spending on capex is not the same thing as productivity. And there's a lot that comes in, in between in that process of actually making that new capital productive." He argues that translating hardware and models into economic output requires organizational change, worker reskilling, and industry-wide restructuring, none of which happens on a quarterly cadence. The 1980s Parallel Millar reached back four decades for a template. "Typically it plays out over the course of years. So if you remember the experience from the IT boom, we had computers, say in the 1980s, we were seeing lots of imprints from IT on the stock market, on investment and so forth. But it really wasn't affecting productivity. And it took more than a decade for that to really show up in the numbers." SoFi Active Invest is offering a limited-time promotion. Open an account, fund it with $50 or more, and you could receive up to $3,000 in complimentary stock for Active Invest accounts. See for yourself by clicking here now. (Sponsor) The BEA data backs this up in real time. The Information sector grew just 1.5% in Q1 2026, decelerating from 2.5% in Q4 2025. Millar added that "industries adopting AI more rapidly do not appear to be experiencing faster growth." Adoption surveys show breadth climbing steadily, but sustained daily productive use lags well behind. Meta: The $145 Billion Bet Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) narrowed its full-year 2026 capex range to $130 billion to $145 billion. The strain is visible. Q2 free cash flow collapsed to $784 million, a -91.31% year-over-year decline, while long-term debt climbed to $83.66 billion. EPS of $6.18 missed the $7.2173 consensus, snapping a six-quarter beat streak, per the company's Q2 8-K. Shares are down 9.72% year to date. Story Continues Amazon: $220 Billion and Still Short of Capacity Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is guiding to roughly $220 billion in cash capex. CEO Andy Jassy said "even at that amount, we will still not have enough capacity to meet all the demand we have in 2026." AWS grew 36.7% in Q2, and the AI and chips businesses each cleared a $25 billion run rate. Shares are up 20.48% YTD. Alphabet: $205 Billion and Supply Constrained Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) raised its 2026 capex range to $195 billion to $205 billion. Google Cloud revenue grew 82% in Q2 with backlog reaching $514 billion. CEO Sundar Pichai conceded the enterprise story is early: "Now think about what percentage of workloads are really AI-native and AI-enabled. It again feels like very, very early." Shares are up 14.37% YTD. Microsoft: $175 Billion With FCF Intact Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is set to spend around $175 billion. Azure crossed $100 billion in annual revenue for the first time, and Microsoft 365 Copilot passed 30 million paid seats. Commercial RPO stands at $625 billion. Shares are up 5.11% YTD. What Investors Should Watch Millar's argument resets the timeline for AI's payoff. If the 1980s pattern holds, the productivity payoff from today

ConnectSecure Expands Platform with M365 Auto Remediation and AI-Powered Training Assessments
New capabilities help MSPs close the loop from assessment to action while strengthening security training and visibility across client environments TAMPA, Fla., August 11, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ConnectSecure, a leading provider of vulnerability and compliance management solutions, today announced that Microsoft 365 Auto Remediation and AI-powered Training Assessments are now live on the ConnectSecure platform. The capabilities help managed service providers (MSPs) address supported M365 security findings, create and measure assessments, support client training and strengthen security posture from one platform. The launch advances ConnectSecure's focus on proactive, unified protection for MSPs. M365 Auto Remediation helps teams act on supported Microsoft 365 security findings, while Training Assessments streamline the creation, assignment and measurement of assessments for compliance, onboarding, third-party due diligence and security awareness. "MSPs are under pressure to do more than point out problems. They need to help clients fix gaps, prove progress and build stronger security habits over time," said Peter Bellini, CEO of ConnectSecure. "M365 Auto Remediation and Training Assessments extend that mission by giving partners practical tools to close security gaps, demonstrate progress and make effective cybersecurity more accessible to the businesses they protect." M365 Auto Remediation supports a subset of ConnectSecure M365 Security Inspection findings that can be addressed through conditional access policy enforcement or reporting. The capability allows users to select supported findings, choose whether policies should be enabled or run in report-only mode and modify existing conditional access policies as needed. Supported findings include administrative users with no multifactor authentication enforced, legacy authentication, risky sign-ins, user risk, device registration, security information registration, self-service password reset and Microsoft Secure Defaults. Training Assessments adds an AI-assisted workflow for building and distributing assessments across companies. Users can generate assessments from a topic, pasted source text, uploaded content or templates, then review and edit the generated questions, answer choices and explanations before publishing. The module includes configurable settings for question count, difficulty level, time limits, expiration settings, maximum attempts, pass thresholds and question types. Once an assessment is hosted, MSPs can assign it to companies, share links and review analytics, including performance by company, pass rates and question-level results. Story Continues "Security programs are strongest when remediation and education work together," said Srividya Jagannathan, Senior Vice President of Engineering at ConnectSecure. "These updates help MSPs operationalize both sides of that equation.

ORO Labs Earns Top-100 Spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List
Procurement orchestration company ranks No. 92 overall and No. 8 among software companies on the annual list of America's fastest-growing private companies SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ORO Labs, the leading procurement orchestration platform for global enterprises, today announced it has been ranked No. 92 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.ORO Labs logo "The hardest part of procurement happens after a request comes in, when it has to move through different systems, approvals and controls," said Sudhir Bhojwani, Co-Founder and CEO of ORO Labs. "Enterprises need AI that can handle that complexity, carry that work through to execution while still operating within company rules. Our growth reflects demand for that deeper level of orchestration." ORO's agentic, no-code platform orchestrates work across intake, sourcing, supplier management, risk, compliance and finance. It connects people, systems and AI agents so each request can move through a governed, auditable process from intake to execution. Over the past year, ORO has expanded its portfolio to more than 65 preconfigured agents and added capabilities in sourcing, contract orchestration and supplier engagement. Customers using ORO's AI Agent Builder have reported up to 80% shorter onboarding cycles and 75% fewer manual reviews. ORO reported 300% revenue growth over the past year, and its platform is now deployed across more than 100 countries. In March 2026, ORO announced a $100 million Series C funding round to accelerate the adoption of agentic orchestration across enterprise procurement and finance operations. In 2026, the company also became the first organization in the 20-year history of the World Procurement Awards to win Top Procurement Technology Provider in consecutive years and was named an ISM Supply Chain Trailblazer.

Larry Fink says Americans’ retirement savings need to fund $10 trillion AI infrastructure demands. Protect your wealth
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Tech giants are expected to spend trillions of dollars on AI infrastructure in the coming years as they race to build the data centers, chips and energy capacity needed to support artificial intelligence. McKinsey previously estimated that AI-related data center infrastructure could require up to $7 trillion in investment by 2030 (1). That's more than the size of Germany and Spain's GDP combined, per World Bank data (2). Must Read Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 — 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one JPMorgan still sees gold hitting $5,000/oz by Q4 — and savvy investors are protecting their wealth with a tax-advantaged Gold IRA. Learn more with a free guide from Priority Gold The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028 — and experts say most people won't act in time. What to do before the window closes The question is: Where will all that money come from? BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) CEO Larry Fink believes ordinary Americans could help provide some of that capital — not by writing checks themselves, but through the retirement accounts and investments that own stakes in the companies leading the AI race. "If we can get more and more Americans to think about growing with the United States, we will have far [more] than enough money to invest in this infrastructure," Fink said earlier this year at Texas State Technical College in Waco alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott (3). At the time, Fink estimated the nationwide buildout of data centers and energy infrastructure could total $10 trillion over the next 10 years. Since then, the AI arms race has only picked up speed. Tech giants are spending tens of billions of dollars to build the data centers, buy the chips and secure the electricity needed to power the next generation of AI. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Meta (NASDAQ: META) are among the companies leading that charge — and their massive AI investments are one reason so many investors' portfolios are increasingly tied to the success of this technology. Here's how some of your retirement funds are already exposed to this colossal spending spree on a technology that could reshape the way millions of people work. Ordinary Americans are exposed to the AI boom Your 401(k) plan is likely exposed to the AI boom, even if you're not aware of it. Story Continues That's because a growing number of workers and savers have turned to passively investing in index funds in recent years, even as tech giants have become a larger part of these indexes. As of April 2026, Americans collectively had $20.82 trillion invested in index mutual funds and ETFs, according to the Investment Company Institute (4). But there's a catch: Many of these supposedly diversified funds have become increasingly concentrated in a handful of mega-cap technology companies. At the end of 2025, 41% of the S&P 500's market cap was concentrated in just the top 10 stocks, including familiar names like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), according to RBC Wealth Management (5). These tech giants are leading the data center and utility spending spree. "America is now one big bet on AI," Ruchir Sharma wrote in the Financial Times (6). "AI better deliver for the U.S., or its economy and markets will lose the one leg they are now standing on." As one of the largest index fund providers (7) in the country, BlackRock has a front-row seat to this concentrated bet on AI. This is why Larry Fink's comments are worth your attention. If the thought of your retirement savings being increasingly tied to the success of this one industry makes you uneasy, there are ways to protect yourself.

Wall Street just endorsed Jensen Huang's 'big concept' for AI. What now?
The first three-plus years of the artificial intelligence buildout has been paid for through record amounts of equity and debt issued by the world's leading tech companies, some of whom are spending so much of their existing capital that they've turned cash-flow negative. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just revealed what he expects to be the next phase of financing, backed not by corporate balance sheets, but by Wall Street's top power brokers. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Huang called his plan a "big concept," unveiling it on camera alongside leaders from Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, KKR, Apollo and Brookfield. Together, those firms say they're willing to loan $500 billion, and potentially more, for the construction and buildout of new AI factories, as chipmakers and hyperscalers race to meet seemingly endless demand. Huang and his big-money partners, one by one, described what they view as a fundamental shift in the tech industry: AI infrastructure has become a new asset class. "These systems are not like our PCs, not like our phones," Huang told CNBC's Becky Quick. "These are revenue-generating assets now. They're productive, they're long lived, they're fungible, they're flexible." VIDEO34:5834:58 Watch CNBC's full panel with Nvidia's Jensen Huang, BlackRock's Larry Fink, Goldman Sachs' David Solomon, and other top Wall Street executives The discussion was thin on specifics as far as the types of borrowers that will emerge, what interest rates will look like, where the facilities will be constructed and when it will all kick off. Their joint press release said the companies had signed memos of understanding, with no reference to any contracts. The details matter. Almost 11 months ago, Nvidia announced a partnership to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as part of a plan to build out data centers requiring a combined 10 gigawatts of power. That investment never materialized, but Nvidia contributed $30 billion to the record-breaking funding round that OpenAI closed earlier this year. Monday's announcement struck a different tone, with the companies collectively pushing the message that money won't be the problem as the AI buildout hits what McKinsey expects will be $7 trillion in global outlays by the end of the decade. 'These are real assets' So far this year, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle have raised well over $150 billion combined by selling debt and equity to build data centers and fund the development of new AI models and support the explosion of AI agents. Intel just announced a $15 billion stock offering, then upsized it to $20 billion. Financial firms are now gearing up to jump into the market in a different way, as executives like Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and KKR's Waldemar Szlezak see AI equipment attaining familiar money-making characteristics. "You're starting to see, in a sense, you know, asset-based financing against this infrastructure buildout," Solomon said on the CNBC panel. "That's not surprising because these are real assets. They have real value." Instead of seeing supercomputers as devices that customers buy and use — the argument goes — these systems, filled with Nvidia's graphics processing units that can cost $3 million per rack, look like profitable investments. Huang says the systems can be improved through his company's CUDA software, and their lifespans extended, leading to better economics. "You can think about it as a revenue stream, and you can securitize it or effectively divide that risk and sell it to investors who want to participate anywhere in that stack," said Szlezak, KKR's head of digital infrastructure. When Wall Street starts getting noticeably excited about securitizing physical assets, a natural question emerges: What could go wrong? One of the hallmarks of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 was the packaging of subprime mortgages into bundled securities that were then sold to investors as another way to make money from the housing boom.

1 No-Brainer Growth ETF to Buy Right Now for Less Than $1,000
Investing through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) gives investors an incredible number of choices. Just like stocks, there are some ETFs that are more volatile and some that are less, some more focused on growth and some more focused on value. The list goes on. Yet, what's similar about all of them is that they provide pre-made diversification. Even if you invest in an ETF with few holdings and centered around a specific trend, you're dividing up your eggs into different baskets. Take Cathie Wood's ETFs, for example. Her flagship Ark Innovation ETF owns only 36 stocks. Or you can invest in Vanguard's Russell 3000 ETF, which as you might have already guessed, invests in that index's 3,000 stocks. The advantage of the former is concentrated investments in disruptive technology, while the advantage of the latter is low-risk diversification. If you're looking for a high-growth option that leans toward growth stocks but minimizes risk, the Vanguard Growth ETF(NYSEMKT: VUG) is a no-brainer option. Why this ETF? It's not easy to beat the market. An ETF that tracks the S&P 500, a commonly used measure of the "market," has typically provided an annualized return of around 10% over the long term. That doesn't mean the S&P 500 gains 10% every year -- it doesn't. It goes through better and worse, great and awful years. However, if you plug in your investment and then "set and forget," you'll end up gaining about 10% over the long haul, on average. That's an excellent rate to grow your money, especially when factoring in how it compounds annually. Most investors do well having some portion of their portfolio invested in this kind of index fund, which features about 500 of the top U.S. public companies. Image source: Getty Images. Yet, beating the market can be done. The Vanguard Growth ETF takes the idea of indexing up a notch and invests in about 200 of the largest U.S. companies, mirroring the makeup of the CRSP U.S. Large Cap Growth Index. That takes the cream of the crop and gets you exposure to the largest growth companies. And it's still well diversified. It's focused on growth stocks, but it owns enough stocks to keep the collection broad -- everything from drugmaker Eli Lily to payment services provider Visa. The ETF's top five holdings are Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and Meta Platforms. Because it's a weighted index, these stocks make up about 50% of the ETF's total value. But the remaining 50% is spread out among many other stocks. And because it's a passively managed ETF, which means it just follows an index, it will automatically sell underperforming stocks when the index does and keep your ETF in growth mode. Finally, the fund has an extremely low expense ratio of 0.04%, so it's cheap to own. Outperforming the market Actively managed funds for the most part don't beat the market in any given year. Last year, 60% underperformed the market's gains. But the Vanguard Growth fund has soundly beaten the market, on average, throughout its lifetime, leading to higher annualized gains of 11.86% over the past 20 years vs. 10.34% for the overall market. Those small percentage points translate into a substantial discrepancy in how much money you would have made if you had invested $1,000 in it vs. a standard S&P 500 ETF two years ago. VUG Total Return Level data by YCharts For most investors, it still makes sense to invest in a broader market index fund. That provides a level of security that can't be beat. But if you're looking for additional investments, the Vanguard Growth ETF is a fantastic, no-brainer ETF to buy and hold forever.
