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

That decision was lauded by democracy activists, but not Bill Gates and Microsoft's then-CEO Steve Ballmer, who suggested Google was overreacting.

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.

I've Been Wrong About Microsoft Stock for Years. Here's Why I'm Finally Changing My Mind.
For the last five years, I've been the person rolling my eyes at Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) valuation and calling it priced for perfection. Today, after its latest set of numbers and the way the company has embedded itself into AI, cloud, and everyday work, I'm finally willing to say it: At these levels, Microsoft is an easy buy for a long‑term investor. Back in the 2021 to 2022 time frame, my skepticism sounded reasonable. Microsoft was trading at a rich multiple compared with its own history, and it felt like everyone already knew the bull case: dominant Windows, sticky Office, and fast‑grow

Splitit Ranked No. 1614 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List, the Most Prestigious Ranking of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Company Recognized for 216% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation's Most Successful Independent Businesses ATLANTA, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Splitit, the global leader in card-linked installment payments, today announced it has been ranked No. 1614 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.(PRNewsfoto/Splitit USA, Inc.) "Merchants and banks have been waiting for a better Buy Now Pay Later solution," said Nandan Sheth, CEO of Splitit. "This ranking shows that the market is responding to our card-linked installments platform, which gives shoppers more flexibility without having to take on new risk while letting merchants retain the customer relationship." Splitit's growth over the last three years tracked a deliberate expansion of who it serves and how, fueled by $50 million in growth funding received from Motive Partners in December 2023. The company deployed the capital to fund product development, strengthen its balance sheet, and establish several new lines of business: In April 2024, Splitit launched FI-PayLater, giving banks and credit unions a way to offer installment plans directly at checkout instead of ceding that moment to BNPL providers. In March 2025, Splitit rolled out a fully embedded, white-label installment app for Shopify merchants, removing the need for a redirect or a separate application. Splitit's partnership footprint widened at the same time. In July 2025, Samsung integrated installment payments into Samsung Wallet, letting eligible Galaxy smartphone users split in-store purchases using their existing credit cards. That was the first time that card-linked installments were available at scale in U.S. physical retail. In October 2025, Splitit partnered with DXC Technology to bring installment payments to banks running DXC's Hogan core banking platform, which serves more than 300 million accounts across 40-plus banks. That same month, Splitit announced an Agentic Commerce Partner Program, opening its card-linked installment technology to merchants and platforms building AI shopping agents. That momentum has carried into 2026. In March, Splitit launched Splitit Go, extending card-linked installments into face-to-face sales for merchants in home services, healthcare, automotive and other industries that sell in person or over the phone. The same month, Splitit announced its support for Google's Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard that lets AI shopping agents complete purchases on a customer's behalf. Most recently, Splitit and 1stMILE launched flexible point-of-sale installment payments to automotive service providers nationwide.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Just Announced $500 Billion in New Funding: Here’s Why Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Are Taking It Hard.
Quick Read Jensen Huang's $500B framework with Apollo, BlackRock, and four other Wall Street giants reframes GPU compute as bankable infrastructure, lifting NVDA shares. AMZN fell 2.4% while CRWV rose as Huang's capital pool arms rival neoclouds to challenge hyperscalers already spending $745B on their own AI buildout. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a financing framework last night that could reshape how AI infrastructure is bankrolled. Partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR aim to mobilize more than $500 billion in third-party capital for AI factory buildouts. NVIDIA shares edged higher on the news, while the three largest cloud providers traded lower.Oasishifi / Shutterstock.com The Quote That Reframes the Industry Huang's central claim was that GPU compute has graduated into project-finance territory. "We have moved from an era in which companies bought chips and built data centers project by project to one in which AI factories can be financed as productive infrastructure," he wrote, adding: "In AI, compute is revenue." The economics hinge on pricing power. One-year H100 rental rates climbed from roughly $1.70 per GPU-hour in October 2025 to $2.35 by March 2026, while B200 Blackwell cloud pricing now ranges from about $5.30 to $7.05. Huang also said NVIDIA may provide residual-value support covering up to 25% of an opportunity, evaluated project by project. Why the Hyperscalers Sold Off Instead of celebrating, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is down 2.4%, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is off about 1%, and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is losing nearly 2%. Polymarket assigned a 97% probability that Amazon would close lower and an 89.5% probability for Microsoft. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. The reason is competitive plumbing. The capital pool would help qualified AI labs, enterprises, and cloud providers access AI-factory infrastructure at scale. In practice, it could give neoclouds and frontier labs more capacity to challenge the hyperscalers, which have spent years developing Trainium, TPU, and Maia chips to offset their NVIDIA dependence. Combined 2026 capital spending across the four largest hyperscalers is tracking near $745 billion, an outlay academic Aswath Damodaran recently characterized as "betting, not investing." A new $500 billion financing channel for alternative infrastructure puts even more pressure on the returns behind that spending. Story Continues Where the Money Likely Lands CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) is the clearest tell. Its Q1 revenue grew 111.6% year over year, backlog soared to nearly $100 billion, and NVIDIA strategically holds a $2 billion equity stake. CEO Michael Intrator described the last quarter as "the strongest bookings quarter in CoreWeave's history." CoreWeave shares are up 1% today. Huang's own Q1 FY27 numbers explain the confidence to underwrite residual value: $81.61 billion in revenue, Data Center revenue up 92%, and Q2 guidance of $91 billion, give or take. As the Nvidia CEO framed it on the earnings call, "The buildout of AI factories, the largest infrastructure expansion in human history, is accelerating at extraordinary speed." The latest announcement is his answer to who pays for it.NVDA Earnings Quotes — 24/7 Wall St. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks.

How a book that inspired Warren Buffett and a $14,000 side hustle helped billionaire Bill Ackman get started as an investor
Billionaire Bill Ackman has built a $35 billion hedge fund, led high-profile overhauls at companies like Chipotle, and boasts an eye-watering investment portfolio through his firm, ranging from Amazon to Microsoft. Now, he's revealing the two things that moved the needle in his career: A book that inspired Warren Buffett and a $14,000 side hustle. "One early formative experience was at Harvard, where I took a job at Harvard Student Agencies selling advertising for the Let's Go travel guides—a series of books where Harvard students wrote reviews of hotels around the world," Ackman recently told Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell during Fortune's Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. "It was a commission-based business, and I turned out to be a good salesman," he continued. In fact, he was so good at the job that the student agency was afraid he would out-earn his superiors. "I made $14,000, which felt like a huge amount of money." As a teenager, Ackman told his dad that he'd be a millionaire by 30, have $100 million by 40, and be a billionaire by 50. And that commission check was his first taste of business success. Then, after graduating, he returned home to work for his father, who cofounded and ran New York-based commercial real estate firm Ackman-Ziff Real Estate Group. Ackman wasn't too thrilled about the job, but it pointed him toward the career he wanted to build. "I found the entrepreneurs and developers on the other side of the phone more interesting, and I decided I wanted to be an investor," he said. And his father—an entrepreneurial success in his own right—led him further down the investing rabbit hole. "My dad introduced me to a man named Leonard Marks, who recommended 'The Intelligent Investor' by Ben Graham." Graham is known as the "Father of Value Investing" and profoundly influenced the young Warren Buffett's investing style, which Ackman came to greatly admire. Ackman completed his MBA at Harvard Business School in 1992, and that same year co-founded his first investment firm Gotham Partners with fellow Harvard graduate David Berkowitz. "I went to business school to learn how to be an investor and just followed that path—fortunate to find something I was excited about," Ackman added. Now, Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management is a $35 billion titan In 2004, after winding down his Gotham Partners venture, Ackman founded New York-based investment firm Pershing Square Capital Management. Over more than two decades under his leadership as CEO, the company has grown to become a $35 billion titan of industry. Story Continues Its long-term returns have crushed the market—those who stayed in since inception have seen their investments compound nearly 16.5% annually for two decades, compared to a 10% return on the S&P 500 over the same period. However, in 2026, the company has recently been underperforming, with Pershing Square Holdings down 11% year-to-date this February compared to the S&P 500's roughly 1% gain. Still, in April of this year, Pershing Square raised $5 billion in the largest closed-end fund listing in U.S. history through its combined IPO. The 60-year-old hedge fund mogul has also grown his own net worth to $11.5 billion, and his influence has grown commensurately. A well-timed 2020 bet on corporate credit markets during the COVID-19 crash reportedly turned $27 million into $2.6 billion in a matter of weeks. His 2016 bet on Chipotle also paid off handsomely, with Pershing Square nearly doubling its original $1.2 billion investment within a few years, and later selling off its stake. And around a decade ago, his activist campaign at Canadian Pacific Railway became one of the most celebrated turnarounds in modern investing. Ackman is a 'Warren Buffett devotee' looking to emulate his success Ackman is still a self-proclaimed "Warren Buffett devotee" who has looked up to the legendary investor as an "unofficial mentor." In March of this year, he sought to replicate Buffett's success with Berk

Is Rule Breaker ASML the Snap Cola King Right Now?
Of the 3,000-plus companies we monitor in The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers Primary database, exactly one tops the list with an overall Superscore of 99. It isn't a household name – it's ASML(NASDAQ:ASML), the quiet Dutch firm that builds the machines that make the world's most advanced computer chips. It's also a textbook “Snap Cola” company – the concept David Gardner unpacks in Rule Breaker Investing, and one ASML is earning right now. So what is a Snap Cola, and how do you spot the next one? Let's get into it. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue » What's a Snap Cola? It's David's name for the single most important trait he looks for in a stock – Rule Breaker Trait #1: a top dog and first-mover in an important, emerging industry. The mnemonic is deliberately silly, because silly sticks. And it bundles two tests every true Rule Breaker must pass. Snap – the importance test. David first laid this out back in 1999. Picture a company you're researching, then snap your fingers and make it vanish overnight. Poof. Would anyone notice? Would anyone care? The more people who'd miss it, the louder the snap. As David puts it, "buy companies that if they disappeared overnight, tons of people would notice and many would care." Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) – whose purpose from day one was "to be Earth's most customer-centric company" – registers loudly. Cola – the singularity test. Are they the only ones doing what they're doing? When you scan the landscape, can you find a real rival – or is everyone else playing Pepsi to this company's Coke? The best Rule Breakers don't have a close second. They are the category. The Cola Test is the one that trips people up, and David illustrates it with Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL). Did it always pass? By his reckoning, no: for most of its first twenty years, Apple played Pepsi to Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Coke. Then came the iPod, and in 2007 the iPhone, and by his account Apple was suddenly the only one doing what it was doing. That's the moment he finally picked it, in 2008. If "Snap Cola" is too silly for you, here's the same idea in David's words: I try to find excellence, buy excellence, and add to excellence over time. I sell mediocrity. Why ASML passes both In EUV lithography – extreme ultraviolet, the process required to etch the world's most advanced chips – ASML didn't overtake anyone. It created the category. When David recommended it in July 2020, he called it "the monopoly you've never heard of." The first-mover case was right there in the timeline: ASML started on EUV around 2000 and didn't reach high-volume production until 2018–19 – "a nearly two-decade-long path that Nikon and Canon have departed from." Nobody beat ASML to EUV. Everybody else quit. There's your 1–2 punch. Cola: as David wrote in 2020, "ASML is the only company in the world that makes these systems" – not dominant-but-challenged, sole.Snap: EUV is the linchpin of the advanced-chip economy – snap ASML out of existence and progress on the world's most advanced chips would stall overnight. Top dog, first-mover, category creator, all at once. Which is exactly why it earns that Superscore of 99, number one on our Rule Breakers Primary database. And here's the payoff about holding. Up 62.75% year to date at the time of writing, ASML has been on a tear – but the deeper lesson is staying power. It has been recommended three times on the Rule Breakers side of the Stock Advisor scorecard, in 2020, 2022, and 2025, and today every pick is beating the market by at least 100% (the original by roughly 200%). We didn't buy once and declare victory; we came back twice, because a genuine Snap Cola keeps earning its place. Find excellence, buy excellence, add to excellence. Don’t miss this second chance at a potentially lucrati

Elon Musk Says AI Agents Will Dwarf Human Internet Traffic, But Michael Burry Asks, ‘Who Will Pay’ for AI Agents to Socialize?
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. CEO Elon Musk says AI agents could eventually generate vastly more internet traffic than humans, but investor Michael Burry has some questions. Elon Musk Backs AI Traffic Explosion On Sunday, Musk highlighted Cloudflare Inc. executives' projections that machine-generated internet traffic could eventually dwarf human activity. Musk said AI-driven, or "agentic," internet traffic will "obviously VASTLY exceed human usage," adding that Cloudflare's forecast is accurate. Don't Miss: A single bad hire can set a startup back years. Here are the 5 hires founders most often misjudge — and why Still Learning the Market? These 50 Must-Know Terms Can Help You Catch Up Fast Cloudflare had previously expected bot traffic to surpass human traffic in 2027, but the milestone arrived earlier than expected in 2026. During the company's second-quarter earnings call, Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert said the trend means humans could become a "rounding error" on the internet as non-human activity continues to accelerate. AI agentic Internet traffic will obviously VASTLY exceed human usage. Not a close call at all. Cloudflare's forecast is accurate. https://t.co/VztgrinN5kpic.twitter.com/Wo4FiRKjPU — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 9, 2026 Trending: Avoid the #1 Investing Mistake: How Your 'Safe' Holdings Could Be Costing You Big Time Michael Burry Questions Who Will Pay For AI Burry, the investor known for anticipating the 2008 financial crisis and featured in "The Big Short," responded to Musk's post with a different question. "This is a lower bar than most think, and we still do not know who will pay for AI agents to socialize," Burry wrote. https://twitter.com/michaeljburry/status/2086584809178960041?

Burry has taken bearish positions in several companies tied to the AI infrastructure boom, including Nvidia Corp and Palantir Technologies, Inc.. AI Spending Raises Bubble Concerns The debate comes as the world's largest technology companies pour unprecedented amounts of money into AI infrastructure. Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. are projected to spend roughly $800 billion combined on capital expenditures this year, with much of that investment going toward AI systems and data centers.

You might be dangerously off — see why Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry. Arrived Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

The S&P 500 Is at Record Highs and Hasn't Been This Expensive in Decades. History Says This Could Happen Next
At one point this year, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) looked like it was in trouble, falling below 6,400. The war in Iran spooked investors, in what at the time appeared to be the catalyst that could bring the broad index back down to more reasonable levels, after three straight years of impressive gains. Instead, the index has not only made up for those early declines but also soared to new heights. Currently, it's around 7,800. There's just no denying that the index is expensive these days. It hasn't been this pricey in decades -- and that may not be what investors want to hear. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »Image source: Getty Images. History suggests a crash may be inevitable The Shiller price-to-earnings ratio is based on inflation-adjusted earnings over the past decade and suggests that the S&P 500 is incredibly expensive right now, trading at a multiple of more than 42. That's the highest it's been since the dotcom crash of the early 2000s. Back in 2021, before the crash that took place the following year, it reached a multiple of around 39. It's a concerning sign that stocks are overpriced. And not unlike the dotcom bubble, tech is a driving force. Back then, it was internet stocks surging to obscene valuations. Today, it's stocks involved with artificial intelligence (AI). What the optimists will say is that, unlike internet stocks that made no profits, AI companies are generating significant growth. However, many top tech companies are buying and selling among themselves, and the rest of the market isn't doing nearly as well. Plus, it wasn't just risky internet stocks that crashed during the dotcom bubble. Between 2000 and 2002, Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco all crashed by more than 50%. It's a myth that only risky, unprofitable tech companies nosedived. Heightened valuations and expectations can cripple any stock.^SPX data by YCharts Investors don't need to get out of the market, but it may be worth thinking twice about high-priced stocks The tech sector is ripe with expensive stocks that could be due for significant sell-offs if the market crashes, whether it's this year or later in the future. But rather than trying to time the market, which is difficult and risky, a more effective option for investors may be to simply get out of expensive stocks that are trading at high valuations and into more reasonably priced investments and perhaps dividend stocks, whose payouts can help boost returns and be highly valuable amid market turmoil. Story Continues As Warren Buffett's famous saying goes, investors should "be fearful when others are greedy." Should you buy stock in S&P 500 Index right now? Before you buy stock in S&P 500 Index, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and S&P 500 Index wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $411,427!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,335,252!* That performance is why people listen. With a track record of beating the S&P 500 by 4x, Stock Advisor offers a distinct advantage.

The Market Now Says a Rate HIKE Is Coming. There’s a Dividend Fund Literally Built for This
Quick Read Markets now price 53% odds of a September rate hike, punishing SCHD's bond-proxy tilt while FDRR screens dividend payers for positive yield correlation. FDRR's top three holdings are NVIDIA, Apple, and Alphabet, which together exceed 22% of the portfolio, fueling an 86% five-year return but adding significant growth-stock concentration risk. Directing new contributions to FDRR while leaving existing SCHD lots intact captures the rate hedge without crystallizing embedded capital gains in taxable accounts. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD) is the default income holding for millions of investors. SCHD screens for cash-rich payers, delivers a yield above the S&P 500, and costs almost nothing to hold. Yet the fund was built for a world of falling or stable long rates, and that world is under pressure.Shutterstock The 10-year Treasury closed at 4.69% on August 6, 2026, near a 12-month high and in the 98th percentile of its range, and Polymarket now prices roughly 53% odds of a September rate hike, with futures at around 32%. Fidelity offers a dividend fund engineered for the environment SCHD tends to struggle in. The Fed has held its target at 3.75% since December 2025, an eight-month pause following 75 basis-point cuts. Core PCE has resumed climbing: the June 2026 index of 130.266 sits in the 90.9th percentile of the trailing year. The 10Y-2Y spread has recovered to 0.46%, up 31.4% over the past month. Curve steepening plus sticky inflation historically hurts high-yield equity proxies, because their cash flows compete directly with rising Treasury coupons. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now. Where SCHD's Design Struggles Mature, cash-generative companies with long dividend histories are favored by SCHD's methodology. That tilts the fund toward consumer staples, healthcare, and integrated energy, sectors that tend to get re-rated lower when long yields climb. A bond-like equity trading on its dividend yield has to offer a higher yield when the risk-free rate rises, and the only way to do that quickly is through a lower price. SCHD holders experienced this dynamic in 2022 and again during the yield surge in 2023. What FDRR Actually Does Differently The Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates (NYSEARCA:FDRR) tracks an index that starts with large- and mid-cap dividend payers, then filters for stocks whose returns have shown a positive correlation to the 10-year US Treasury yield. Stocks that historically fall when yields rise get down-weighted; stocks that historically rise get up-weighted. The result is a dividend portfolio that looks nothing like SCHD. Story Continues Top holdings include NVIDIA at 8.513%, Apple at 7.072%, Alphabet at 6.233%, Microsoft at 5.582%, and Broadcom at 4.327%. Financials also show up heavily, with JPMorgan Chase at 2.028%, Bank of America at 1.259%, and Goldman Sachs at 1.167%. Energy names like ExxonMobil (1.192%) and Chevron (0.762%) round out the rate-friendly tilt. Banks earn wider net interest margins when short rates stay firm, and the curve steepens; energy companies pass through inflation; mega-cap tech generates enough free cash flow to fund dividends and buybacks even at higher discount rates. Has the Design Actually Worked On August 7, 2026, FDRR closed at $69.86, up 15.91% year-to-date and 28.54% over the trailing year. The five-year return sits at 86.14%. Dividend growth has kept pace as well, with the June 2026 payment of $0.41 up from $0.35 in March, trailing 12-month distributions totaling $1.407, and the annualized forward estimate at $1.64. That works out to a lower headline yield than SCHD offers, though total return over the current rate cycle has more than made up the difference. The Real Tradeoffs A dividend fund with a growth stock's beta is what FDRR amounts to. The to

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: SpaceX, Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 11, 2026 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights SpaceX SPCX, Amazon AMZN, Microsoft MSFT and Alphabet GOOGL. Why Momentum, Fed Liquidity & Tech Beats Signal More Upside Strength Begets Strength "A body in motion stays in motion." ~ Newton's First Law of Motion On Wall Street, one of the best predictors of momentum, is past momentum. Thanks to OddStats (@OddStats), we have the data to back up the claim. "QQQ finished the first 150 days of 2026 with a return of +17.7%. There have been 8 years in history where it was up at least that much at this point." Here's how it did FROM THERE to the end of the year: +20.8% +16.5% -0.6% (2012) +15.6% +8.2% +16.5% +16.1% +10.5% Rate Hike Odds Plunge "Earnings don't move the overall market; it's the Federal Reserve Board...focus on the central banks, and focus on the movement of liquidity...most people in the market are looking for earnings and conventional measures. It's liquidity that moves markets." ~Stanley Druckenmiller Until last week's jobs number, Wall Street investors were pricing in a September rate hike amid inflationary concerns stemming from heightened energy prices tied to the U.S.-Iran War. However, payrolls registered an extreme 5-sigma miss on Friday, plunging 23k versus Wall Street estimates of +80k. As a result, the weak jobs number means that Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is far less likely to hike interest rates. The odds of a September rate hike plunged on online betting markets such as Polymarket. Post-Earnings Breakouts Several mega-cap tech stocks beat earnings estimates and are breaking out. For instance, SpaceX trounced Zacks Consensus Estimates by 65.38% in its first earnings report as a public company. Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet each reported earnings that beat Wall Street expectations, underscoring the strength of their ongoing multi-billion-dollar CapEX push. In late July, AMZN shares jumped 15% after reporting earnings as trading volume swelled to 150% above the norm. Since then, shares have held the gap and traded sideways. Such robust price and volume action is indicative of institutional accumulation. You can read more about Q2 earnings here. Bottom Line Between historical momentum trends, shifting Federal Reserve rate expectations, and earnings beats from market leaders, the current backdrop suggests a higher market.

Oracle's AI Infrastructure Surge: Smart Growth Bet or a Costlier Trap?
Oracle Corporation ORCL is deepening its bet on AI-driven cloud infrastructure, expanding data center capacity across Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Michigan while continuing large-scale funding commitments to support demand for GPU computing. In an August 2026 statement, the company reiterated its approach of building data centers in partnership with state and local governments, framing the expansion as job-creating and community-oriented even as capital outlays climb. Earlier in the year, Oracle also expanded its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Enterprise AI platform, adding new model options, private endpoint support and dedicated-cloud AI capabilities through its July and August product updates. The infrastructure push is backed by strong recent results. In its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings, Oracle reported total quarterly revenues of $19.2 billion, up 21% year over year, with total cloud revenues rising 47% to $9.9 billion. Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS) revenues nearly doubled, climbing 93% to $5.8 billion. Remaining Performance Obligations, a proxy for contracted future business, surged 363% year over year to $638 billion, with most of the increase tied to large AI contracts. For fiscal 2027, Oracle guided to total revenues of roughly $90 billion and non-GAAP EPS growth of 18%. The trade-off is cash burn. Fiscal 2026 free cash flow was negative $23.7 billion as capital expenditure accelerated, and Oracle raised $43 billion in debt and $5 billion in equity during the year, with plans to raise about $40 billion more in fiscal 2027. Management has said $75 billion of AI contract value is now prepaid or customer-supplied hardware, reducing some funding pressure. Whether this scale of investment converts into durable earnings growth, or strains Oracle's balance sheet before AI demand fully monetizes, remains the central question investors are weighing as the buildout continues into fiscal 2027. How MSFT & AMZN Compare on AI Infrastructure Spending Oracle is not alone in stretching its balance sheet for AI capacity. Microsoft's MSFT Azure cloud revenues grew 43% in its fiscal fourth quarter, pushing capital expenditure and finance leases toward roughly $175 billion for calendar 2026, while Microsoft's free cash flow fell 23%. Amazon AMZN raised its 2026 capital spending guidance to about $220 billion as AWS revenues grew 37%, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, though Amazon's free cash flow also turned negative on a trailing basis. Compared with Microsoft and Amazon, Oracle's cloud infrastructure growth rate is faster in percentage terms, but Microsoft and Amazon operate at far larger absolute cloud revenue scale. Story Continues ORCL's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of Oracle have lost 3.5% in the past six-month period, underperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector's appreciation of 20.4%. ORCL's 6-Month Price PerformanceZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, ORCL stock is currently trading at a trailing 12-month Price/Earnings ratio of 17.65x, which is lower than the Zacks Computer - Software industry average of 23.62x. ORCL's ValuationZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ORCL's fiscal 2027 earnings is pegged at $8.03, which suggests 5.24% growth year over year.

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
