Nebius Group ($NBIS) Pre-earnings Analysis Nebius Group has become a popular bet on “all things AI” as the company builds vertically integrated infrastructure for training and deploying Large Language Models (LLMs). Their core business is providing massive GPU clusters (primarily Nvidia’s) with specialized software layer designed to reduce latency…something critical for AI training. This means every time a company is buying GPU power from Nebius, they’re automatically attaching their software and creating revenue. The company is targeting 800MW to 1GW by end of 2026, compared to just 170MW in 2025. That’s a huge jump, and very aggressive. There are many data center projects that are delayed, and shortages are also a big threat. Customer Concentration Nebius does have close to...
You know the Magnificent 7 stocks in the United States? Names like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla? Alibaba falls into a similar category in China. It is one of China’s largest and most important technology companies, with exposure across e-commerce, cloud computing, digital payments, logistics, international retail, and now…artificial intelligence. AliBaba’s AI Pivot The reason we’re comparing Alibaba to the Magnificent 7 is because, like many of those U.S. mega-cap tech names, Alibaba has gone full force into artificial intelligence. The company has restructured into several business segments: Cloud & AI - this has become AliBaba’s growth engine and their highest priority. Core e-commerce - AliBaba already dominated the e-commerce market. They have the data, now they’re...
Artificial intelligence gets all the attention, but it’s only as powerful as the interface people use to interact with it. And when it comes to the devices that actually deliver that experience, a few companies dominate: Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung. Apple vs. Others Against its competitors, Apple dominates North American with a 62% mobile market share. Their biggest advantage is their ecosystem…once a person owns an iPhone, Watch, iPad, Mac…etc, they become integrated into an ecosystem that’s hard to switch from. This has helped Apple not only sell more products, but also more services (App Store, iCloud, Apple Music and TV). It’s the popular opinion that Apple “missed” the AI boom, but staying patient may have been the best move...
In early 2026, Reddit surpassed Facebook and Amazon to become the second most visited website in the U.S., but if you look at its stock this year, you’d think otherwise. $RDDT is down 39% YTD at the time of this writing and ahead of their Q1 earnings. What’s the hold up? It’s not financial performance. Reddit posted 62% annual revenue growth in 2024 and 69% in 2025. They also posted a full profitable year last year, making it their first ever as a public company. Reddit’s Difference Maker: Its forums and sub-forums have become a hub for AI Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract information from real life conversations. With over two decades of natural human interactions, Reddit is now...
Visa ($V) Pre-earnings Analysis Chances are, you have a Visa issued debit or credit card in your wallet right now. Every time you swipe that card, Visa collects a small fee, earning it billions of dollars in revenue and profits. Another name that comes to mind is Mastercard, another giant in the space. The two companies control more than 75% of the U.S. credit card market (American Express and Discover largely make up the rest). Competitive Advantage Visa is accepted at 150 million+ merchant locations worldwide. This massive moat gives them a major advantage and allows them to upsell products and services, which Visa has been focused on recently. The company’s “value added services” is its fastest growing segment (up...
