Hello Peter Anthony Hovis,

The Great Migration: Wall Street Swaps Big Tech for Broader Growth

The story of today’s trading session was not one of total retreat, but of a calculated migration. As the closing bell echoed across Wall Street, the narrative was clear: the “all-weather” tech giants are no longer the only game in town.

Once again, investors spent yesterday’s trading session aggressively rotating capital out of the mega-cap technology stars and into a broader, more diverse landscape of companies poised to catch the tailwinds of improving economic growth.

While the Nasdaq 100 endured a sharp 1.8% slide (its steepest two-day rout since last October), the broader market showed a resilient, hidden strength. Under the surface of a mildly lower S&P 500, which fell 0.5%, the majority of individual shares actually trended upward.

It was a huge signal of a healthy broadening of market leadership.

The day’s center stage belonged to Alphabet, which delivered a financial blockbuster that simultaneously wowed and worried the Street.

The Google parent shattered expectations by reporting fourth-quarter revenue of $97.23 billion, comfortably ahead of the $95.2 billion analysts had penciled in. The engine behind this growth was a surge in Google Cloud revenue, which hit $17.7 billion, and an “expansionary moment” in search driven by generative AI.

However, the price of staying at the top is steep; Alphabet revealed a staggering capital expenditure plan of up to $185 billion for the year to build out the necessary AI infrastructure.

• “We’re seeing our AI investments and infrastructure drive revenue and growth across the board,” remarked CEO Sundar Pichai. “Search saw more usage than ever before, with AI continuing to drive an expansionary moment.”

Despite the stellar numbers, Alphabet’s shares initially tumbled over 7.5% in after-market trading as investors grappled with the sheer scale of the spending required to fend off rivals like OpenAI.

This anxiety bled into the broader software sector, which has been “decimated” recently by fears that AI will cannibalize traditional business models. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF slid 1.8% yesterday, bringing its total decline to over 25% since its October peak.

The semiconductor space proved to be the most volatile theater of the day.

Arm Holdings Plc saw its shares crater by more than 8% after a disappointing sales forecast for the upcoming quarter. While Arm’s current royalty revenue hit a record $737 million thanks to its pivot toward data centers, the ghost of a slowing smartphone market continues to haunt its outlook.

Licensing revenue—a key indicator of future demand—fell short of projections at $505 million, fueling concerns that the mobile-heavy past is still tethering the company’s AI-heavy future.

The pessimism was infectious.

Advanced Micro Devices suffered its worst rout in nearly nine years, plunging 17% on a forecast that failed to satisfy high-flying expectations. Even Qualcomm, despite beating earnings with a record $12.25 billion in revenue, offered a tepid forecast that underscored a “shaky” phone market.

• “Software stocks are being decimated as worries permeate over whether AI will cannibalize their businesses,” noted Bret Kenwell at eToro.
  
• “Right now, investors are not asking themselves where the value is. Instead, they’re throwing out all software stocks—even as many top firms within this space are doing just fine.”

Beyond the tech volatility, the broader economic and geopolitical picture offered moments of calm. Oil prices ticked higher amidst conflicting reports on U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, which briefly hit a snag before appearing to get back on track. This development helped stocks pare their earlier, deeper losses.

On the domestic front, U.S. service providers reported their strongest back-to-back growth since 2024, a “Goldilocks” signal suggesting the economy remains solid despite a cooling labor market.

The day ended with a clear message: the market is not breaking, it is rebalancing.

As quantitative momentum strategies took a 3.7% hit and Bitcoin slumped 4.6% to $72,627, the “equal-weighted” S&P 500 actually rose 0.9%. This shift from tech-heavy concentration toward financials, healthcare, and small caps suggests that while the AI hype is being “priced more carefully,” the underlying economic engine is still humming.

• “This is a rotation, not a rupture,” concluded Mark Hackett at Nationwide. “Seeing that shift near record highs highlights the market’s underlying strength.”

At the same time, the Nasdaq 100 recently breached a key technical level of the 100-da moving average. It has served as the support line for the last three dips. Investors will watch if it breaks down further or not.

The Free Cash Flow Machine Hitting a 24-Quarter Streak

Today’s Stock Pick: CNX Resources Corporation (CNX)

CNX Resources has been around for over 160 years, but today they operate as a pure-play natural gas company.

What they actually do is pull gas out of the ground from the Marcellus and Utica shales—two of the biggest gas fields in the world—and then use their own massive network of pipelines and processing plants to move that gas to market.

CNX has built a bit of a reputation for being obsessed with “free cash flow” and “per-share value.”

(Source: Paul J. Gough/PBT)

Instead of just drilling as many wells as possible to grow for growth’s sake, they focus on being the low-cost leader in their region. They’ve managed to string together 24 consecutive quarters of positive free cash flow as of early 2026, which is a massive feat in a commodity business where prices can be all over the place.

Sure enough, the company is a Free Cash Flow beast. How much are we talking about? The company expects to a whopping 11% in FCF yield this year! And it has a share repurchase authorization that would be capable of buying about 45% of its current market cap.

• “The fourth quarter represented our 24th consecutive quarter of free cash flow generation, highlighting our Sustainable Business Model and consistent execution that are the cornerstones of growing our long-term per share value,” commented Alan Shepard, President & CEO.
  
• “We continue to believe that our share repurchase program represents a compelling capital allocation opportunity, and as such, we are announcing an additional $2 billion share repurchase authorization, with no expiration. This new authorization increases our total authorized repurchase capacity to $2.4 billion, which represents approximately 45% of our current equity capitalization.”

(Source: CNX Resources)

The company projected a big 32% CAGR for FCF per share from 2020 to 2026. What’s more, the FCF per share is expected to double in 2026 from 2022. Will the company achieve this ambitious goal?

We don’t know, but the margin of safety is massive with this stock.

Disciplined production: In the past, shale operators would chase growth at all costs. Not anymore. Many of them become disciplined and maintain stable production levels during the boom year in 2022. That’s difficult to resist – it’d be a quick buck to boost production and earn profits on these elevated prices.

But with the production level being stable, CNX Resources will have ample room to generate high FCF since it didn’t take on too much of fixed costs, even with natural gas prices coming back to Earth.

Not only that, its TTM leverage ratio is safe at 1.9x.

Bottom line: CNX Resources is all about free cash flow, and its yield is expected to post ~13% this year. Many of them would go to shareholders, so it would represent a double-digit return if we combine revenue growth and share buybacks. It is a good stock to own for reliable returns.

Copper Still Offers Substantial Upside Opportunity

Copper demand isn’t just “healthy” — it’s increasingly structural. The metal sits at the center of three long-duration megatrends that don’t care much about quarterly noise: grid expansion, electrification (EVs and charging), and the buildout of data centers that power artificial intelligence.

That’s why major miners are racing to increase copper exposure. The logic is straightforward: copper is difficult to substitute at scale in most high-voltage and high-reliability applications, and new supply is slow, capital-intensive, and politically complicated to bring online. The result is a market that can flip from “fine” to “tight” quickly — and stay tight longer than most investors expect.

The demand curve is bending higher

BHP estimates global copper demand will rise around 70% by 2050, reaching over 50 million tonnes per year. That’s a massive step-up for a market where bringing on new capacity often takes a decade (or more) from discovery to meaningful production.

AI is a particularly powerful accelerator because it’s not just “more servers.” It’s more power generation, more transmission, more transformers, more cooling infrastructure — and copper threads through all of it. BHP also estimates the copper used in data centers globally will grow six-fold by 2050, from roughly 0.5 million tonnes per year to ~3 million tonnes. Even if adoption comes in below the most aggressive forecasts, the direction is clear: the baseline demand trajectory is rising.

The Next Computing Platform Is Already Here

Every major computing shift starts the same way: dismissed by most, slowly adopted, then suddenly everywhere.

Spatial computing has reached the adoption phase, but according to Meta, this is the only AR/VR app people use 40-50 hours per week. There isn’t even a close second.

That usage drove the next step: Visor. A dedicated headset, lighter than a smartphone, with 2M more pixels than an Apple Vision Pro, at 1/3rd of the price.

You can invest before the potential IPO.

The supply side is the real problem

On the supply side, the copper industry faces the same constraints investors have seen across critical minerals:

• Declining ore grades (more rock moved for the same metal output)
• Long development timelines and permitting risk
• Higher capex and operating costs
• Geopolitical and regulatory complexity in key producing regions

BloombergNEF has warned that meeting net-zero-aligned raw material demand implies enormous capital needs; BloombergNEF’s own press materials highlight the scale of the investment gap across transition metals. In short: even if copper prices rise, supply doesn’t respond quickly — which is exactly how you get sustained bull phases.

Market structure is confirming the stress

One of the most important tells in commodities isn’t a headline — it’s term structure.

Copper recently showed historic backwardation, where near-dated contracts trade above longer-dated ones — typically signaling tight prompt supply and urgent demand for deliverable metal. MINING.comattributes this squeeze to rapidly falling inventories, tariff-related trade flows, and stress in smelter economics. When backwardation deepens, it often forces physical market participants to pay up “right now,” which can keep prices supported even as sentiment swings.

Price forecasts are moving up — and volatility is the admission price

You’re also seeing higher price targets from major firms as supply risks stack up. For example, Barron’s reported that a Citi analyst cited expectations for a copper rally toward $12,000/ton in early 2026 as part of a bullish view on the space. 

That said, copper is still cyclical and sentiment-driven in the short run. China demand headlines, dollar moves, growth scares, and policy/tariff uncertainty can all produce sharp pullbacks. The key is aligning the vehicle with your risk tolerance — and focusing on structures that can survive the volatility.

This is the Exact Moment the AI Boom Will End…

I know claims like this usually sound exaggerated.

So let me be clear — this isn’t a prediction, a model, or a hunch.

It’s a market signal that has already marked the end of:
• The Roaring ’20s
• The dot-com boom
• The housing bubble
• The post-COVID recovery

It’s now flashing again — this time for AI.

Two practical ways to gain copper exposure

Below are two “clean” ways to position for copper upside — one through a high-quality bellwether miner and one through diversified exposure.

Company: Freeport-McMoRan (SYM: FCX)
The liquid “bellwether” miner with meaningful copper torque

Freeport-McMoRan is a classic way to express a bullish copper view without needing to trade futures. When copper prices rise, miners can experience operating leverage: revenue rises with the commodity, while many costs don’t rise as quickly, potentially expanding margins and free cash flow.

Fundamentally, Freeport has also been executing. In Q3 2025, the company posted EPS of $0.50 and revenue of $6.97 billion, beating consensus expectations, with revenue up 2.7% year over year. 

On the analyst front, HSBC upgraded Freeport-McMoRan to Buy and raised its price target to $50 (from $43) amid stronger copper and gold price assumptions, according to an Investing.com note carried by Yahoo Finance. 

Trading takeaway: FCX is already extended after a powerful move (it’s around $60.76). For disciplined positioning, it often pays to scaleentries (rather than chase), and use volatility to your advantage.

ETF: Global X Copper Miners ETF (SYM: COPX)
A diversified basket of copper miners to spread single-stock risk

If you want copper exposure without tying your outcome to one company’s mine plan, jurisdiction, or quarterly execution, COPX is a straightforward approach.

COPX’s mandate is to provide broad access to copper mining companies, giving you sector-level exposure in a single trade. The ETF’s total expense ratio is 0.65%. 

Trading takeaway: COPX tends to move with copper, but company-specific factors (cost inflation, politics, mine disruptions) can amplify moves in both directions. Still, diversification can reduce the “one headline breaks the trade” risk that comes with single names. COPX last traded around $85.21.

BSEM: From Profitable Regenerative Leader to Advanced Wound Care Powerhouse with a Nasdaq Uplisting on the Horizon.

BioStem Technologies (OTCQB: BSEM) continues to separate itself from the small-cap MedTech pack with seven straight profitable quarters, FDA-registered manufacturing, and clinically proven BioREtain® technology that drives superior healing outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers. 

The recent acquisition of BioTissue’s surgical and wound care business adds $29 million in revenue, a national sales network, and immediate access to hospital and surgical settings, creating a direct path into acute and advanced wound care markets.

With early adoption reflected in 40% year-over-year unit growth, a robust $300–$350 million market opportunity, and a potential Nasdaq uplisting in mid-2026, BSEM is executing on every element of a high-growth MedTech strategy. 

With a $25.50 price target from Zacks, BSEM stands out as a small-cap MedTech name with significant upside potential, especially as it prepares for a potential Nasdaq uplisting in 2026. Strong financial discipline, expanding commercial reach, and validated clinical results make BSEM a rare small-cap story to keep an eye on.

This Month’s Exclusive Story

T-Mobile: The Buyback King’s Safe Haven Strategy

Submitted by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Published: 2/4/2026. 

In Brief

• The company is aggressively returning capital to shareholders through a massive share repurchase program and a rapidly growing quarterly cash dividend.
• Management has successfully pivoted from heavy infrastructure spending to a harvest phase that generates significant free cash flow for strategic allocation.
• Upcoming strategic updates are expected to reveal ambitious financial targets that build on the company’s award-winning network and industry-leading loyalty.

Investors are navigating a market littered with landmines. Headlines are dominated by speculation about the Federal Reserve, Treasury yields that won’t settle, and gold prices swinging wildly. The growth-at-all-costs mentality that powered the tech sector for the last decade has evaporated. In 2026, capital is fleeing speculative assets and hunting for safety.

Finding a safe harbor that still delivers returns is difficult. Government bonds, once the go-to safe asset, have become volatile amid inflation concerns. That has opened an opportunity for a specific type of equity: cash-rich, shareholder-friendly companies. T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) has evolved into that profile. No longer just a scrappy wireless carrier, it now functions as a capital-return engine built to weather volatility. With a beta of just 0.44 — far lower than the S&P 500 — T-Mobile offers investors a way to stay invested without losing sleep.

From Building to Harvesting: The Cash Strategy

The biggest scam in the history of gold markets is unwinding (Ad)

There are 90 paper gold claims for every real ounce in COMEX vaults. Ninety promises, one ounce of metal. It’s like musical chairs with 90 players and one chair. COMEX gold inventory dropped 25 percent last year alone as gold flows East to Shanghai, Mumbai, and Moscow. On March 31st, contract holders can demand delivery. When similar situations arose in the past, markets closed and rules changed. Paper holders got crushed while mining stock holders made fortunes. One stock sits at the center of this crisis.Get the full story on this opportunity now.

For the past decade, T-Mobile was in a heavy construction phase, spending billions buying spectrum and building towers to create a nationwide 5G network.

In financial terms, this is known as being capex‑heavy (capital expenditure–heavy). It requires large upfront cash outlays to secure future growth.

That era is effectively over. The towers are standing, the spectrum is deployed, and the network is live. T-Mobile has moved into what analysts call harvest mode — reaping the financial rewards of past investments without needing massive new infrastructure spending.

The numbers illustrate the shift. In third-quarter 2025 results, T-Mobile reported a 6% increase in core adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of operating profitability.

More importantly, management raised full-year 2025 adjusted free cash flow guidance to $17.8 billion–$18.0 billion. With infrastructure spending stabilizing around $10 billion annually, a greater share of incremental revenue flows to the bottom line. While many AI companies are burning cash to build data centers, T-Mobile is generating excess cash from a finished product.

Engineering Value: The $14 Billion Return Plan

Generating cash is just the first step. The real value for investors is how T-Mobile uses that cash. Rather than hoarding funds for acquisitions, T-Mobile is returning capital to shareholders. The company has authorized a $14 billion shareholder return program that runs through the end of 2026. Since late 2022, the company has returned a cumulative $41.8 billion to stockholders.

The primary engine of that return is share buybacks. In third-quarter 2025, T-Mobile repurchased roughly 10.2 million shares. Buybacks reduce shares outstanding, which boosts earnings per share even if net income is flat. A steady buyer like T-Mobile can also create a natural price floor, dampening volatility during market sell-offs.

Alongside buybacks, T-Mobile pays a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share, with the next payout scheduled for March 12, 2026. A 2.06% yield may look modest next to some Treasury yields, but T-Mobile offers growth that bonds do not. The company recently increased its dividend by 16%. In an inflationary environment, a growing dividend preserves purchasing power better than a fixed bond payment, making T-Mobile a bond proxy with upside.

Capital Markets Day: The Next Trigger

Savvy investors appear to be positioning for a move higher. Market data from late January and early February 2026 shows an unusual surge in T-Mobile call option volume. Call options are bets that a stock will rise; when volume spikes without a clear headline, it often signals that smart money expects a positive catalyst.

That catalyst is likely the upcoming Capital Markets Day on Feb. 11, 2026, which coincides with the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report. While earnings recap the past, Capital Markets Day is about the future.

Investors expect CEO Srini Gopalan to unveil updated, potentially aggressive financial targets for 2026 and 2027. Many are betting the buyback king will authorize additional capital returns. If management lays out a credible path to sustained free cash flow growth, it could trigger a meaningful stock re-rating, validating the bullish activity seen in the options market.

Low Churn, High Value: The Loyalty Factor

Safety rarely comes cheap. T-Mobile trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of roughly 19x — a premium to some of its legacy competitors, which often trade at single-digit multiples. Skeptics may view that as expensive, but the premium is backed by superior fundamentals.

T-Mobile’s cost-efficient, harvest strategy has not degraded its product. On Jan. 15, 2026, J.D. Power awarded T-Mobile the highest network quality ranking in five of six U.S. regions. That third-party validation suggests the company’s network advantage is durable.

Equally important, the customer base is incredibly sticky. T-Mobile reported an industry-leading postpaid phone churn rate of just 0.89%. Churn measures the percentage of subscribers who cancel service; a sub-1% number is elite. Predictable revenue streams make future cash flows more reliable, and in a volatile market investors will pay a premium for that certainty.

Four Bars Building a Perfect Storm Shelter

In a jittery market, T-Mobile offers a rare sanctuary: the defensive stability of a utility combined with the shareholder-friendly returns of a mature cash-generating company.

While other sectors wrestle with high interest rates and unproven AI spending, T-Mobile has completed its network build-out and is returning significant cash to shareholders. With a growing dividend, steady buybacks, and a major strategic update arriving next week, T-Mobile lets investors remain in equities while capturing many of the safety characteristics of a bond. For those seeking shelter from the storm, “boring” is shaping up to be one of the more profitable trades on the board.

Nvidia Times 1,000,000 (ad)Nvidia’s latest AI chip is a $25,000 powerhouse — with 80 billion transistors and the ability to perform 60 trillion calculations per second. Elon Musk and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang are now teaming up to deploy one million of these chips inside what could become the most advanced AI machine on the planet.

But according to James Altucher, the real opportunity isn’t in Tesla or Nvidia. He’s uncovered a little-known company that Musk, Nvidia, and even 98% of the Fortune 500 already rely on to make AI 2.0 possible. Nvidia’s CEO has even called this company “essential” to their expansion.

From Our Partners: No rate cuts. Here’s what investors should watch (From Crypto 101 Media)

Public Auction: March 31

This might make you furious…

Or it could be the biggest 10X opportunity anywhere in the market today…

But the U.S. government has begun selling off the rights to millions of acres of public land – land that legally belongs to YOU as an American.

The total amount of land involved is truly vast – an area the size of Western Europe.

And all of it is being used for ONE single, radical purpose: The development of what President Trump’s inner circle calls “an awesome resource.”

As a result, many billionaires and giant corporations have begun buying up millions of acres of public land to develop this energy source.

It’s a bidding war, and the price insiders are willing to pay could soon go through the roof.

Today, I want to reveal how to grab your share of the billions of dollars at stake.

After all, this is land that has effectively been held “in trust” for the American people…

But now, it’s being auctioned off at a record pace.

And so, as far as I can see, no one is explaining how regular folks can get involved.

That all ends today – click here before the next auction (due by March 31).

(NASDAQ: KSCP) Launches Its Breakthrough K7 Autonomous Security Robot (Top A.I. Disruptor)

February 5th

Greetings Readers, 

Technology now drives the evolution of safety and risk management as security threats continue to shift. 

Following the emergence of ChatGPT, Physical AI stands as the next major step forward.

Autonomous security innovators are reshaping how companies, public areas, and vital infrastructure stay safeguarded. 

Through AI-driven surveillance, ongoing monitoring, and real-time intelligence, organizations are achieving stronger protection, higher efficiency, and lower costs. 

By embracing these advancements, adopters distinguish themselves as progressive leaders in the era of proactive security. 

And right now, one under-the-radarcompany in this arena is starting to turn heads: 

• Two-year partnership with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), one of the most influential names in U.S. defense and intelligence. 
• Reported more than $20Mn cash balance as of September, giving it a powerful war chest to scale operations. 
• Over $8.5Mn in new contracts announced since April 2025. 

And with a low float over 11M shares, there’s little surprise as to why Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP) has found its way to the top of my watchlist. 

Knightscope is transforming public safety with robotics and AI, committed to safer communities where you live, work, study, and visit. Their bold goal: make the U.S. the safest country in the world. 

And its new relationship with Palantir Technologies could mark a major inflection point.

Palantir powers mission-critical systems for the U.S. government, from the Pentagon to the CIA and Homeland Security. 

Through its infrastructure and programs, Palantir helps select partners bypass red tape and integrate directly with its AI platforms. This significantly speeds up their path to securing federal contracts. 

For Knightscope, this means a faster entry into high-value federal markets alongside one of the most trusted names in public-sector technology. 

Key Company Details – Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP)

Knightscope aims to make the U.S. the safest nation by deploying groundbreaking safety technology. 

The Breakthrough: The K7 Autonomous Security Robot

For years, experts have talked about the coming convergence of artificial intelligence and real-world automation. The theory was simple: when machines can handle physical work with human-like awareness, entire industries will change. 

That moment is now beginning in the world of physical security. 

The K7 Autonomous Security Robot is the next evolution in Physical AI. An all-new purpose-built platform that can patrol vast properties, respond to alerts, and gather data around the clock without interruption. 

Designed for light-duty off-road terrain and large-scale environments, the K7 can cover the kinds of areas that fixed cameras and human guards simply cannot. From solar farms to industrial sites, ports, logistics hubs, critical infrastructure and wind farms, it was engineered to operate where visibility and coverage are mission critical.

Behind the K7’s design is more than a decade of work by Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), a company that has logged over 4 million hours of autonomous field experience and training data across its nationwide fleet of machines. 

Each hour of operation feeds a growing data set of experiences, a real-world training system that sharpens detection, improves navigation, and expands response capabilities over time – humans and technologies working together. 

Unlike conventional robotics companies that start from simulation, Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP) has already proven its technology in the field. That real-world experience gives the K7 an edge in overall performance. Critical factors for clients working on public safety, law enforcement and security operations. 

And while the K7 is larger, faster, and more capable than previous models, it remains part of the same connected network that powers all Knightscope machines. 

It integrates seamlessly with the company’s security software, allowing real-time communication between units, remote monitoring through the Knightscope Security Operations Center, and 24/7 support through the company’s US-based Knightscope Network Operations Center (KNOC) team. 

The result is a machine designed not only to see and record but to understand and respond, turning decades of security labor costs into a scalable, intelligent service that never stops working. 

A.I. Disruption

Their strategy is to network millions of autonomous machines, combining current and future tech for a comprehensive public safety approach. This will improve efficiency, response times, and provide scalable, cost-effective solutions for future challenges. 

Opportunity

Public safety is ready for disruption by AI and robotics. Knightscope represents an opportunity to build the next major $30 billion defense-tech company, but focused on the home front. 

Its addressable market includes: 

Crime

Over 2.5Mn law enforcement officersand security guards are responsible for protecting 332Mn Americans. Many lack the modern tools needed to do the job effectively. 

Crime costs the U.S. over $2 trillion annually, with a violent crime every 26 seconds and a property crime every 4 seconds. (1) 

Technology

Knightscope’s tech—autonomy, robotics, AI, and EV—has over 4 million hours of real-world operation across the U.S. 

Machines-in-Network

Knightscope has nearly 10,000 machines in-network already operating in hospitals, casinos, airports, and corporate campuses nationwide, giving law enforcement and security guards unprecedented, near-superhuman capabilities. 

Business Model

Their Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) model delivers recurring revenue for a recurring problem, with high-end per-unit economics and long-term software-like margins.

Why Taiwan Semiconductor and Meta Could Be the Hidden Bull Case for Broadcom

Written by Leo Miller. Article Published: 1/22/2026. 

Key Takeaways

• Broadcom shares are struggling to recover after a steep December drop, down meaningfully in 2026.
• However, news coming from huge players in semiconductors and AI is fueling support for the stock’s outlook.
• META’s soon-to-be-released CapEx guidance could result in the next significant move for AVGO shares.

After ending 2025 poorly, shares of semiconductor giant Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) have continued to face pressure in 2026. Year-to-date, shares are down nearly 4%. Broadcom isn’t alone: artificial intelligence (AI) processor stock NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) is down about 4.5%.

Broadcom’s 2026 weakness has come despite encouraging signals from other key players in the AI ecosystem, notably Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Recent announcements from those companies suggest momentum in areas that matter to Broadcom could continue in 2026 and beyond.

TSMC Signals Strong AI Accelerator Demand Going Forward

The gold income breakthrough most investors are missing (Ad)

Gold is soaring, but while the media hypes price predictions, there’s one gold income opportunity no one’s talking about. It’s not a mining stock, not an option trade, and not physical gold you have to store. A quiet fund trading for just $15 has been delivering up to $1,152 a month to regular investors. It’s a smarter, faster way to ride gold’s surge and get paid monthly while you do it.Discover the gold income breakthrough most investors are missing.

On Jan. 15, TSMC released its latest earnings report, which showed a strong quarter. Revenues rose by more than 25%, outpacing the roughly 19% growth analysts had forecast. As one of Broadcom’s key manufacturing partners, TSMC’s robust sales growth is a positive signal for Broadcom and its customers.

More important is TSMC’s outlook. For 2026 the firm expects sales to rise close to 30%, a slight deceleration from 2025’s 31.6% growth. That points to continued strong demand from Broadcom’s customer base.

Even more encouraging are TSMC’s projections for AI-accelerator revenues — the category that includes Broadcom’s XPUs and NVIDIA’s GPUs. TSMC now expects these AI-accelerator sales to grow at a compound annual rate approaching the mid-to-high 50% range from 2024 to 2029, up from its previous long-term projection in the mid-40% range. That suggests AI-accelerator demand may have more durability than some have expected, which is a clear positive for Broadcom.

Meta Compute Benefits AVGO’s Custom Chip Outlook

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg also signaled opportunities relevant to Broadcom in his Meta Compute announcement, describing it as the company’s initiative to greatly expand its data center capacityover coming years.

Within the announcement Zuckerberg referenced Meta’s “silicon program,” its effort to develop chips in-house. While the two companies haven’t publicly confirmed the relationship, Broadcom is widely believed to be Meta’s partner in developing those custom chips, which Meta calls its Meta Training and Inference Accelerators (MTIA).

There are clear economics behind Meta’s push for custom silicon. In June 2025, Meta published research on its second-generation MTIA 2i, finding that for supported models the chip reduced total cost of ownershipby 44% versus GPUs. While that is impressive, Meta is still early in its silicon development journey, leaving room for further improvements in future chip generations.

Broadcom’s largest custom-chip partner is Google’s parent, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL). Alphabet recently released the seventh edition of its tensor processing unit (TPU), and Goldman Sachs notes the TPU v7 offers a 70% reduction in cost per token versus TPU v6 — markedly improving the economics of running AI workloads and putting it “on par” with NVIDIA’s Grace Blackwell 200, according to Goldman.

Meta’s reference to its silicon program in the Meta Compute announcement signals a long-term commitment to in-house chip development. If Broadcom remains a partner in that effort — as its track record with Google suggests it could — the company stands to benefit from rising demand for custom chips.

META’s 2026 CapEx Guidance: A Potential Catalyst for AVGO

Despite Broadcom’s slow start to 2026, there are reasons for optimism. Meta is scheduled to report full-year 2025 earnings on Jan. 28, and analysts expect the company to provide its capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance for 2026. Given Meta’s relationship with Broadcom, the level of planned spending could be an important catalyst for AVGO shares, either positive or negative depending on the magnitude of the guidance.

Will AI Destroy More Than It Creates?

• Tech’s second-biggest slide of 2026 hits different
• How to turn this volatility into income
• One subscriber is making $5,000 to $6,000 a month with this strategy

Where will the “AI disruption” crash find a bottom?

The tech-packed Nasdaq 100 index fell 1.7% yesterday.

That’s its second-biggest drop of the year and its fifth drop of 1% or more in 2026.

And it wasn’t just a handful of giant tech stocks dragging the index down. Half the stocks it covers ended yesterday’s session lower.

Topping the list were AI darlings Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), AppLovin (APP), and Palantir (PLTR) with declines of 17.3%, 16.1%, and 11.6%, respectively.

But one group saw more pain than any other: software stocks. Of the 28 software stocks in the Nasdaq 100, 19 of them were down yesterday.

This continues a major theme we’ve been tracking lately – the spiraling price action in software stocks that are being disrupted by AI.

As AI coding assistants have gotten more advanced, software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies have become toxic. These are firms like Salesforce (CRM), Adobe (ADBE), and Atlassian (TEAM) that sell software platform subscriptions to consumers and businesses.

The prevailing notion now is, instead of buying an expensive subscription to one of these companies’ software services, firms are now able to spin up their own AI agents to do these tasks – at a fraction of the cost.

Whether that will turn out to be true or not doesn’t really matter.

It’s left investors wondering whether AI is more of a destructive force than a productive one. And with the Nasdaq so heavily weighted with software stocks, this shift is dragging the whole market down with it.

But today, we’ll look at whether this narrative is triggering any broad market sell signals in our system.

Then, we’ll show how you can exploit this volatility to generate income in the options market.

Nvidia Just Spent $1 BILLION on AI. Here’s the problem…

Every bull market ends the same way: one final massive buildout. Telecom spending exploded 8 months before the dot-com crash. Housing construction peaked 11 months before 2008. The AI infrastructure boom is following the same pattern. The biggest gains – and biggest danger – happen now. See the full analysis here. 

First, let’s take a 36,000-foot view of the Nasdaq 100…

Here’s the chart, along with its Short-Term Health signal at the bottom:

Short-Term Health is a shorter-term spin on TradeSmith’s classic Long-Term Health indicator. It still factors a stock’s historical volatility to determine buy and sell signals. It’s just tuned for a much more recent stretch of time.

So while the index has chopped around this same level (red dotted line) since last October, its Short-Term Health is still in the Green Zone. That means it’s still a buy in our system.

And our fresh Bull Market indicator – which lit up on May 14 of last year, before the Nasdaq 100 rallied as much as 22.5% – is also still active. That’s a sign the bull market is still intact.

If we start to see Short-Term Health shift into Yellow, that’ll be cause for concern. That’s what happened on March 6 of last year – a month before the Liberation Day tariff announcement drove markets into a tailspin.

Until then, we should look at this patch of volatility as an opportunity for a special style of trading.

This strategy puts cash payments directly into your brokerage account…

Most people think options trading is all about betting on whether a stock will go up or down.

But at TradeSmith, we encourage a different style of options trading: selling them for income instead of buying them.

Think of it like running an insurance business. When you sell a put option, you collect a payment up front – called a “premium” – from investors who want to protect against falling stock prices.

In return, you agree to buy a stock at a set price below where it’s trading today. For taking on that obligation, you receive a cash payment right into your brokerage account.

If the stock never drops to that lower price, you keep the premium and move on to the next trade. If it does, you’re required to buy the shares – but at a discount of where they were trading when you entered the deal.

The sweet spot is when the options expire worthless. You pocket the premium and never touch the stock.

How do you find these “sweet-spot” trades?

The answer: Our Probability of Profit (PoP) indicator – part of our Options360 suite of trading tools.

It shows you the probability of any options contract expiring worthless. If you’re trading for income, you want the PoP to be as high as possible.

If you know how to easily find options that are most likely to expire worthless, this gives you the best odds of continually selling put options to generate constant streams of income.

This works especially well during volatile bull markets when stocks are most often trending higher.

And our newest options software tool goes a step further…

Selling options with a high probability of expiring worthless is great. What’s even better is finding options like these that the market is overvaluing due to a patch of volatility.

You see, when volatility strikes, investors pay abnormally high prices for put options to use them as insurance against a continued slide.

By targeting these overvalued put options, you’re exploiting short-term investor panic to get paid even more than you typically would.

That’s what our Fair Value tool helps you do…

This tool, unique to Tradesmith, further stacks the odds in your favor when you’re trading for income.

Here’s a look at the Fair Value chart for put options on the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) – the main ETF tracking the Nasdaq 100 – expiring tomorrow, Feb. 6.

(Note that this is just an example of the tool and not a trade recommendation. By the time you read this email, these prices have almost certainly moved.)

The blue line on the chart shows us the theoretical fair value of each put option based on its volatility and other factors.

The red dots show where each options contract traded as of Wednesday’s close. They appear above the blue fair value line. So we know that each of those options contracts are overvalued.

When you’re selling options, that’s exactly what you want. You want to capture more value than what’s “fair” to increase your odds of success. And because these put options expire Feb. 6, selling them means you’re bullish on QQQ through this Friday.

As you can see, put option contracts are wildly inflated on QQQ right now. The $590 contract, for example, has a Fair Value of $0.02. That makes this contract overvalued by 8,178% – and the PoP algorithm gives the trade 49% odds of expiring worthless.

If you doubt that QQQ will drop to $590 per share by tomorrow’s close – another 2.7% fall from where it closed Wednesday – then you could sell that contract and exploit this anomaly.

Just be aware that if QQQ does drop, you will need the capital or margin on hand to buy the shares – 100 of them per contract you sell.

That’s an important wrinkle with selling put options. At the end of the day, you’re exposing yourself to potentially buying 100 shares of the underlying stock you’re trading at the strike price.

In the case of the trade above, that means having $59,000 in cash or a brokerage account that will lend you that in margin. You need to be comfortable with this situation before you set out to sell options.

If you are assigned the shares, you can hold them, sell them right away, or even use other options strategies – like covered calls – to generate income in different ways.

But the first essential question to ask yourself is whether you’re ready for a potential assignment.

This breakthrough makes Options360 even more powerful…

The PoP helps you find the trade with the best odds of making money.

The Fair Value chart helps you find the most overvalued options to sell, giving you the chance to put extra income in your pocket.

And these tools work in concert to help you build a long-lasting, low-risk cash generation strategy.

If you think you can’t trade this way, think again…

The message below comes from Mike D., an 80-year-old subscriber to Constant Cash Flow – part of our Options360 suite of tools.

He says he’s been doing 30 trades a month for over a year and a half.

We recently asked him for an update on his performance, and this is what he had to say:

“I am completely sold on Constant Cash Flow.

Even through the turbulent times we have recently experienced, I still had no losers and continued with generating $5,000 to $6,000 per month using approximately $100,000 in trading capital (I trade in a portfolio margin account.)

As I said before, I am retired and not looking for the moonshots any longer, just consistent returns. So for anyone sharing my circumstances I highly recommend following the Constant Cash Flowstrategy!”
