I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.

Bitcoin is dead?

Dear Reader,

There’s been no better investment on the planet this past decade than Bitcoin.

Not gold …

Not bonds …

Nothing.

Over the last ten years …

Bitcoin’s returns have more than doubled that of gold, real estate and stocks …

COMBINED.

A simple $1 investment in Bitcoin when it first traded seventeen years ago …

Would be worth more than $100 million dollars.

That’s enough to make your head spin.

It might give you a serious case of FOMO.

But …

Before you rush to move your retirement plan into Bitcoin …

Hoping for these types of gains …

I’ve got news for you.

It’s not going to happen.

Because as we speak …

A seismic shift is reshaping the crypto landscape.

Money is flowing out of Bitcoin …

And into a handful of exceptional cryptos.

Coins that have the potential for their gains to blow past Bitcoin.

And it’s all happening at a rapid pace.

Presenting investors with an amazing opportunity.

Regards,

Chris Hurt, Weiss Ratings

P.S. Juan Villaverde has called every bull and bear market in crypto since 2012.

Including the top and bottom of Bitcoin in 2018 …

To within days.

As a matter of fact …

He’s sitting on four different gains of more than 1,100% on Bitcoin.

But now …

He’s saying it’s time to invest in another crypto.

Today’s Bonus News

Why GRAIL Stock Could Be Biotech’s Next Big Breakout

Written by Bridget Bennett. Published 11/19/2025.

Key Points

Insider buying is a reliable signal in market pullbacks, offering long-term confidence amid short-term volatility.
Biotech stock GRAIL is one to watch, with its breakthrough cancer detection technology nearing FDA approval.
Despite economic concerns, the American Dream is still attainable through long-term investing, saving, and strategic financial choices.

Retail investors are understandably on edge after several sessions of market volatility. But bestselling author and Oxford Club strategist Alexander Green, in his new book The American Dream, says we’re still in one of the best times in history to build wealth—especially if you think long term and stick to time-tested principles.

According to Green, this pullback isn’t as severe as it may feel. “Just last Wednesday, the Dow hit an all-time high,” he noted, explaining that recent selling pressure has more to do with valuation concerns and interest-rate doubts than any fundamental breakdown.

Why the Market Pulled Back

The $650 Million Bet on AI’s Future (Ad)

In 1999, Sutter Hill Ventures made a bold bet on Nvidia before anyone had heard of it. Now, they’re going all-in on Nvidia’s hush-hush partner that’s powering their new Blackwell chip. Discover the little-known company that’s attracting massive investments from the visionaries behind Nvidia’s 100,000% rise.Unlock the hidden key to AI’s future.

Green attributes the dip to two core concerns. First, investors are starting to question elevated tech and AI valuations, especially as earnings season begins to test those expectations.

Second, inflation data and slower hiring have tempered hopes that the Fed will cut rates in December. With the central bank emphasizing a “data-dependent” posture, markets are less certain that relief is coming this year.

Why Selling Now Might Be the Wrong Move

Rather than trying to predict what will happen next week, Green urges investors to zoom out. He calls himself “a long-term optimist,” and points out that historically the market’s trend has been upward.

For traders, a little short-term caution might be warranted. But for long-term investors, these dips are often opportunities to buy high-quality stocks at more attractive prices.

Insider Buying Can Point the Way

One of the most reliable indicators in times like these is insider buying. Green suggests that when officers and directors—people with access to nonpublic financial information—are putting money into their own companies, that’s worth noting.

He recommends tracking insider trading activityto see which stocks corporate executives are buying, not just selling. While insiders aren’t always right, their actions can provide a useful signal when markets are in flux.

A Biotech Breakout to Watch: GRAIL

One sector Green is focused on is biotech, where artificial intelligence is helping accelerate drug development and reduce costs. He highlighted one company in particular: GRAIL (NASDAQ: GRAL).

GRAIL, spun off from Illumina, has developed the Galleri Test, which can detect more than 50 types of cancer from a simple blood draw. Green has even used the test himself and calls it “a good feeling” to know you’re clear of so many deadly diseases—especially cancers like pancreatic that often go undetected until late stages.

With fast-track status with the FDA and potential insurance reimbursement ahead, Green sees GRAIL’s roughly $3 billion market cap as just a starting point.

The Biotech Risk—and Big Pharma’s Appetite

Of course, biotech carries risk. Most drug candidates never make it through all phases of clinical trials. Still, larger pharmaceutical companies like Merck (NYSE: MRK), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), and Bristol Myers (NYSE: BMY) are actively acquiring promising small caps to replace expiring patents.

Green cited Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) as a recent example. The company invested in a private prostate-cancer drug before it received FDA approval—underscoring how aggressive Big Pharma can be when clinical trials look promising.

Green believes biotech is especially compelling now because healthcare is largely recession-proof. Whether the economy is growing or shrinking, people still seek treatment. For investors looking to weather volatility, sectors like healthcare, utilities, consumer staples, and food companies tend to offer steady demand and less drama than high-flying AI names.

The American Dream Is Still Possible—But Mindset Matters

Despite economic challenges, Green argues the American Dream is far from dead. He wrote The American Dream to counter the narrative that it’s out of reach, and says he was surprised by polls showing nearly 70% of Americans believe it’s no longer attainable.

The reality, he says, is that with access to low-cost investment tools, no-commission trading, and widely available information, building wealth has never been more accessible. The challenge is knowing what to do—and having the discipline to do it.

He breaks it down simply: if a 25-year-old invests $190/month in an S&P 500 index fund, they could have $1 million by age 65—tax-free in a Roth IRA.

No extreme frugality required. “You could eat out, take trips, and still build wealth,” Green says—as long as you save and let that money compound.

Creative Solutions for Today’s Housing Market

Housing may feel out of reach, but Green says it doesn’t have to be. Mortgage rates have doubled and prices are up about 50% since the pandemic—but there are still ways in.

He shares his personal story of buying two houses with no money down by working directly with motivated sellers and assuming their mortgages—a method sometimes called a “contract for deed.” It might not get you the perfect house right away, but it can help you start building equity sooner than you think.

Stay Focused on the Long Game

Volatile markets come and go. What matters is how you respond. Whether it’s tracking insider moves, exploring high-upside sectors like biotech, or simply believing in your ability to build a financial future, Green’s message is clear: the American Dream is still within reach.

You just have to keep your eyes on it—and take the next right step.

Nvidia’s 3 New “Unauthorized” Silent Partners

Dear Reader,

Nvidia just became the world’s first $5 trillion company.

They’re bigger than the stock markets of Canada, the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

Nvidia’s value has skyrocketed since ChatGPT made AI daily front-page news three years ago.

That’s because, without Nvidia, AI stops.

But here’s the thing …

AI’s undisputed leader can’t do it all by themselves.

Nvidia depends on companies who help make their revolutionary tech possible.

Many of these companies …

Nearly 1,100 in all …

Are part of Nvidia’s official Partner Network …

But that’s not who I’m talking about.

The companies I’m revealing work with Nvidia behind the scenes.

You won’t find them on any official Nvidia list.

That’s why I call them Nvidia’s “Unauthorized” Silent Partners.

Companies fitting this description have done very well since they first partnered with Nvidia.

In fact, some exceptional firms have stocks that have gone up as much as 1,938% …

4,501% …

9,793% …

And even 22,713% …

And now, I’ve just uncovered three new “Unauthorized” Nvidia Silent Partners.

They’re each playing vital roles …

As Nvidia pivots to two breakthrough technologies …

Projected to be worth $24 trillion.

These technologies need Nvidia …

And Nvidia needs these Silent Partners.

Why These 3 Tech Stocks Could Be the Best Opportunities You’re Overlooking

Written by Nathan Reiff. Published 11/17/2025.

Key Points

Outside of the largest names in the space, the tech sector has a number of often-overlooked firms poised to thrive.
Investors eager to look beyond the Magnificent Seven might look to semiconductor firm Marvell or software and digital platform engineering company EPAM Systems.
Those considering a tech-adjacent play outside of the sector might find reason to be optimistic about Align Technology’s potential.

The Magnificent Seven—the tech-focused firms among the largest and most influential companies in the world—dominate the broader market, accounting for a full one-third of the S&P 500. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS: MAGS) provides equal-weight exposure to these seven stocks and has returned nearly 20% year-to-date (YTD). This performance outpaces the broader market despite the volatility the Magnificent Seven experienced earlier in 2025.

Investors often lump the entire tech sector together when thinking about the Magnificent Seven. While this group can serve as a bellwether for the broader sector, limiting a portfolio to these names may cause investors to miss promising opportunities among tech-adjacent companies that combine solid fundamentals with distinctive market niches.

5 Stocks That Could Double in 2026 (Ad)

While everyone’s making predictions about what might happen in 2026, we’ve identified 5 stocks with catalysts that are already locked and loaded.

These aren’t hopes or projections. These are scheduled events, signed contracts, and approved projects that will play out over the next 12 months.

Align Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN), Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), and EPAM Systems Inc. (NYSE: EPAM) are three under-the-radar companies with notable upside potential.

Align Technology Leverages AI to Support Recovery in Orthodontic Market

Align Technology, the maker of the digital platform behind the Invisalign orthodontic system, is not a pure-play tech stock but is heavily dependent on technology, making it an option for investors looking for tech exposure in a different sector.

In the third quarter, Align topped analyst predictions across multiple metrics: revenue rose about 2% year-over-year (YOY) to nearly $1 billion, earnings per share (EPS) beat analyst expectations by $0.23, and non‑GAAP operating margin came in above forecasts at 23.9%. Growth has been supported by higher adoption rates among teens and children, helped in part by AI-driven treatment planning that improves efficiency.

That said, Align has faced headwinds: sales growth has slowed and shares are down by about one-third YTD. If adoption rates continue to climb, the company could return to stronger earnings performance.

Analysts are split. They forecast more than 12% earnings growth in the year ahead, which would represent an acceleration, but only seven of 16 ratings for ALGN shares are Buys. Still, a consensus price target above $175 implies roughly 28% upside, making Align a possibility for investors with a higher risk tolerance.

Marvell Technology Capitalizes on AI and Amazon Cloud Demand

A smaller player in the semiconductor space, Marvell has carved out an important niche by providing system-on-chip (SoC) solutions and products that are critical to data infrastructure.

For Marvell’s second quarter of fiscal 2026 (its fiscal year ends in early February), revenue topped $2 billion, up 58% year-over-year, driven largely by a strong data center business.

It’s no surprise given that a substantial portion of Amazon’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) AWS cloud service runs on Marvell chips.

Marvell is also streamlining its operations. The company sold its automotive Ethernet operations for $2.5 billion earlier this year, which has freed cash to focus on expanding AI and data-center product lines, repurchasing shares and boosting R&D investment.

About two-thirds of the 36 analysts covering Marvell rate it a Buy, and consensus forecasts call for earnings to surge by nearly 120% in the year ahead.

EPAM Systems Rises on AI and Global Talent Diversification

EPAM provides software engineering and digital platform services across multiple industries.

Shares of EPAM have struggled this year, falling more than 21% YTD. However, a recent earnings beat—including 19% year-over-year revenue growth, record free cash flow and a robust share-repurchase program—has sparked a rally in recent weeks.

A major factor in EPAM’s earlier decline was its historically heavy reliance on talent based in Russia, Ukraine and nearby regions. As the company diversifies its geographic footprint, it should be less vulnerable to disruptions from regional turmoil.

EPAM is also pivoting toward AI engineering and related services. Analysts appear optimistic: 13 of 18 analysts rate EPAM shares a Moderate Buy, and the consensus implies roughly 19% upside to nearly $214 per share.

Why Ford’s Deal With Amazon Is Bigger Than You Think

Written by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Published 11/19/2025.

Key Points

Ford is pioneering a highly capital-efficient retail strategy by integrating its existing nationwide dealer network with Amazon’s massive e-commerce platform.
The collaboration is designed to boost a highly profitable business line, strengthening used-vehicle values, which in turn supports more competitive new-car leasing.
This innovative move demonstrates a forward-thinking retail strategy that meets customers where they are and creates powerful new channels for high-margin revenue.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) has made a notable move in automotive retail, announcing a partnership to sell its certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles directly on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).

This is more than another online sales portal; it pairs an iconic American automaker with a technology titan that has a roughly $2.39 trillion market capitalization and over $690 billion in annual sales.

9 AI Stocks Set to Soar Amid U.S.-China Trade Tensions (Ad)

The escalating U.S.-China trade tensions are reshaping the AI landscape. Companies like Nvidia are facing significant revenue hits with the U.S. imposing new export restrictions on advanced AI chips to China.

This shift opens doors for U.S.-based AI companies poised to fill the gap.I’ve identified 9 under-the-radar AI stocks – get your copy today

For investors, the move answers a pressing question: how can a legacy automaker with a large dealer network compete in the digital era? Ford’s approach is pragmatic — it plugs existing assets into one of the world’s most powerful retail engines rather than building a new system from scratch.

Amazon issued a press release about the partnership, while Ford did not, which is unusual.

That quiet rollout signals a meaningful shift in Ford’s strategy. It lays out a capital-efficient blueprint for auto sales that leverages Ford’s strengths—something many pure-play disruptors have struggled to replicate. While the stock’s initial reaction was muted, a closer look shows a calculated, low-risk initiative with significant potential to strengthen the business and support Ford’s stock price.

A New Blueprint for Disruption

Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) direct-to-consumer showrooms and Carvana’s (NYSE: CVNA) vending machines have been called disruptive, but they required billions in capital to build new physical infrastructure.

Ford’s shift represents a more pragmatic and potentially more powerful form of innovation by combining digital reach with existing physical retail.

The partnership gives Ford direct access to Amazon’s massive customer base — a digital main street many consumers already use regularly.

By listing its vehicles in this high-traffic environment, Ford is creating a new sales funnelof substantial scale.

Crucially, this is a capital-efficient disruption. Instead of investing heavily in new infrastructure, Ford leverages its largest existing asset: a nationwide network of roughly 3,000 dealers for inventory, inspection, and final delivery.

Amazon has already proven the model with partners such as Hyundai (OTCMKTS: HYMTF)and Hertz (NASDAQ: HTZ). By bringing the scale of America’s best-selling brand to that platform, Ford significantly de-risks the initiative from the outset.

Igniting a High-Margin Financial Flywheel

The collaboration is strategically attractive because it can strengthen one of Ford’s most profitable businesses. A healthy, liquid market for used Fords has a positive ripple effect across the company, creating a financial flywheel that benefits multiple lines of business.

For investors, the flywheel operates like this:

Higher Used Car Values: Greater demand for Ford’s CPO vehicles on a massive platform such as Amazon helps support resale prices.
More Competitive New Car Leases:Stronger resale (residual) values are the most important factor in lease pricing. When residuals hold up, Ford Credit (which delivered a solid $631 million in Q3 earnings) can offer lower monthly lease payments, making new vehicles more attractive and boosting new-vehicle sales.
Stronger Dealer Network: The CPO market is a critical profit center for dealerships. Driving more sales through this high-margin channel improves the financial health of Ford’s dealer partners—the network responsible for the company’s sales and service revenue.

Perfect Execution of the Ford+ Plan

This initiative exemplifies Ford’s long-term Ford+ strategy, highlighting a focus on technology, customer relationships, and partnerships. Ford is not just listing cars online; it is building a trusted, comprehensive digital experience.

The program is built on the established Ford Blue Advantage promise, which includes detailed multi-point inspections and warranties. Gold Certified vehicles undergo a 172-point inspection, while EV Certified vehicles receive a specialized 127-point inspection. Those checks are backed by a 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee intended to build the trust necessary for high-value online transactions.

Meeting customers where they are supports Ford’s goal of always-on relationships. The move parallels successes in its Ford Pro division, where paid software subscriptions grew 8% sequentially to 818,000 in the last quarter. Both efforts demonstrate Ford finding new, high-margin revenue streams by integrating technology with core products.

Ford’s collaboration with Amazon is a clear example of pragmatic innovation. It avoids an expensive, confrontational battle with dealers and instead transforms them into partners in a next-generation retail model. By fusing its industrial backbone with Amazon’s digital reach, Ford has created a strategy that direct-to-consumer rivals will find difficult to replicate.

For investors, the partnership adds a compelling growth angle to a company already benefiting from strong profitability in its core business. The quiet announcement speaks volumes about Ford’s ability to innovate and positions the stock as an attractive long-term holding.

Peter, This is The Spiritual Gas Station You Didn’t Know You Needed

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Let me shoot straight with you: C-Suite for Christ is not a networking group. It’s not a business association. It’s not a professional development club. It is — and always will be — a Spiritual Gas Station.

What does that mean?

It means this is where drained Christian executives refill their tanks. This is where the battle-worn come for strength. This is where leaders who spend all day pouring into others finally get poured into themselves.

It is a refuge in a culture that wants to empty you, weaken you, confuse you, and exhaust you. It is a monthly encounter with the living God — and a reminder that you are not alone.

At our gatherings, walls fall. Guards drop. Worship rises.

We pray with power. We fellowship deeply. We testify boldly.

We sharpen one another, encourage one another, and challenge one another. And every single month, without fail, God shows up in ways that defy explanation — but never defy expectation.

“For where two or three gather in My name, there am I with them.” — Matthew 18:20

On Wednesday, December 17, I want you to experience this for yourself — whether you join us in person or via livestream. And trust me: you’ll want to be part of this one.

Our keynote speaker is Matt Granados, one of the most dynamic, powerful, and unforgettable communicators you will ever hear. Matt has spent his life helping high-capacity leaders maximize their God-given potential. He understands pressure. He understands responsibility. He understands purpose. And his message will leave you equipped, inspired, and spiritually recharged for the battles ahead.

Best of all? It’s free to attend. You don’t need to be a member.

And yes — you are absolutely invited.

To register, simply click here.

If you have ever wondered why C-Suite for Christ is the fastest-growing Christian executive movement on the planet, come on December 17, and you won’t wonder anymore.

You’ll feel it. You’ll witness it. You’ll experience it. And you’ll leave saying, “I can’t believe I almost missed this.”

Don’t run on fumes. Don’t fight tomorrow’s battles with yesterday’s strength. Fill your tank. Rekindle your fire. Renew your soul.

Because what happens at a C-Suite for Christ gathering isn’t just an event; it’s a spiritual encounter.

I’ll see you on December 17.In Christ,

These 2 Energy Titans Just Scored Major Wins to Close Out November

Markets are reacting positively to recent news surrounding two key players in the energy ecosystem. Shares of Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) and GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV)both shot up on Nov. 19, reflecting renewed investor confidence tied to sector-specific developments and long-term growth potential in clean and nuclear energy.

Constellation Awarded $1 Billion Government Loan

Constellation Energy is the market’s most well-established nuclear stock. The company operates the United States’ largest nuclear energy fleet, with a capacity of around 22 gigawatts (GW). With artificial intelligence (AI) increasing energy needs, Constellation’s stock price has delivered a total return of 58% in 2025. Many view nuclear energy as the most ideal way to meet AI demand, as it is highly reliable and carbon-free.

Constellation has signed multiple agreements with AI hyperscalers. Its 20-year deal with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) was a huge win, boosting shares by over 22% on Sept. 20, 2024. Constellation committed to restarting operations at its Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor.

However, restarting a nuclear plant is no easy task, requiring a significant investment of time and money. Luckily for Constellation, on Nov. 18, the Department of Energy said it would loan the firm $1 billion to aid this process. This is significant, accounting for more than 60% of the reopening’s estimated $1.6 billion cost. Constellation will still have to pay the loan back. However, the key advantage is that government loans often have much lower interest rates than private loans. Specifically, Constellation will only have to pay an interest rate of 37.5 basis points above that of U.S. Treasuries. This is likely a very good deal for Constellation, offering the firm a much lower rate than it could receive for the project otherwise.

Additionally, the loan signals the Trump Administration’s continued support of the nuclear energy industry. With heavy regulation in this space, having a strong relationship with the government is key to Constellation’s bullish thesis. Clearly, the administration is on Constellation’s side. Shares gained 5.3% on Nov. 19 in reaction to this news.

GEV Gains on International Wind Victory

Next up is GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV). With energy needs soaring, the company has also seen its shares perform impressively in 2025. The stock has delivered a total return of more than 74% on the year. While Constellation specializes in nuclear, GEV makes much of its hay in natural gas. GE Vernova doesn’t operate natural gas facilities itself, but rather is the world’s largest producer of natural gas turbines. These heavy-duty machines convert natural gas into electricity. Demand for turbines is growing briskly. The company’s Power segment saw revenue rise 14% last quarter, and orders rose 50%.

The company’s Electrification segment is also doing very well. Revenues rose 32% last quarter, and orders rose 104%. Through three quarters, the firm has already booked $900 million in electrification orders from hyperscalers. That’s 50% more than it booked from these customers in all of 2024.

However, GE Vernova’s wind business is lagging behind, with sales falling 9% and orders rising just 6% last quarter. That’s why investors were happy to see the firm announce a wind repower agreementwith Taiwan Power Company. The company will supply Taiwan Power with kits to upgrade and extend the life of its wind turbines. Notably, this is the first international onshore wind repower agreement GE Vernova has signed. It provides hope that similar deals may occur in the future to support GE Vernova’s underperforming segment. Shares spiked 7.3% on the day of the Nov. 19 announcement.

However, the deal is just one step in the right direction. GE Vernova will need to show consistent progress to convince markets that its wind business is turning a corner. Skepticism around this may be why the stock fell over 6% on Nov. 20. Still, the S&P 500 Index also dropped 1.5% that day as hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut fell. Due to its long-term and capital-intensive operations, changing interest rate expectations can have a particularly strong effect on GEV shares.

CEG’s Government Relationship Bodes Well for Shares

Ultimately, these pieces of news are encouraging developments for both Constellation and GE Vernova. Constellation’s announcement stands out. It demonstrates the current administration’s keen interest in helping the nuclear industry succeed, supporting the stock’s outlook.

5 Stocks to Buy Before Santa Claus Comes to Town

November was a challenging month for stocks, as macroeconomic concerns and concerns about an AI bubble weighed on prices. Most S&P 500 (NYSEARCA: SPY) stocks moved lower, but there is good news. The correction bottomed late in the month as the AI trade was reaffirmed, leaving them in a rebound mode as December approached. The takeaway for investors is that many of the hottest AI trades are rebounding the strongest as of late November, and they are trading at long-term lows with ample upside potential.

The caveat is that previous leaders, such as NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), may continue to face scrutiny as competition intensifies. Among the stories emerging in November is Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL). Its long-awaited Gemini update was released, along with other bullish news that rocketed it to the top of the AI mountain.

While Alphabet is an outstanding stock and an obvious AI trade winner, its price is well above its moving averages, making it less attractive to new money than some others. Here’s a look at five stocks well-positioned to benefit from AI trends in December and in 2026.

#1 – Advanced Micro Devices Will Take Share From NVIDIA in 2026

If any company is poised to gain share from NVIDIA, it is AMD (NASDAQ: AMD). AMD is on track to launch its MI450 line late in 2026, which will open the door to hyperscaler demand. The likely outcome is that revenue will surge by triple digits over the subsequent few quarters, driving a robust stock price increase for shareholders.

The story now is that AMD’s stock price has corrected by 25% but is showing significant support at levels aligned with the top of its open price range. AMD’s stock price could rebound by as much as 30% in this scenario, yet still not reach its previous peak.

In that scenario, price action will retest the current high, but analyst trends suggest a new all-time high is the minimum to be expected. Based on analyst data tracked by MarketBeat, this stock could reach $380 within the next 12 months.

#2 – Broadcom Breaking Out as November Comes to a Close

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is also poised to gain share from NVIDIA. While NVIDIA’s strength lies in its general-purpose AI-capable GPUs, Broadcom’s is in its custom capability. It is leaning hard into the custom market, focusing on its few large customers, which include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Meta (NASDAQ: META), and Alphabet. As it stands, the company has a robust, double-digit CAGR forecast for revenue and earnings growth from analysts that is obviously too low.

The late-month news from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which includes plans to spend up to $50 billion on AI infrastructure for the government (which will require numerous custom ASICs and GPUs), has yet to be factored in. Regarding the price action, AVGO stock reached new highs and triggered a strong entry signal late in November. Analysts’ trends suggest it can rise by another 20% to 25%.

#3 – Applied Digital: GPU Capacity Is Sold Out

Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) is among a few niche data center operators well-positioned for the AI boom. The news from NVIDIA’s Q3 report says it all: NVIDIA’s GPUs and AI compute capacity are sold out. That means anyone offering GPU-as-a-service, such as Applied Digital, will be in high demand.

And its core business, building and operating AI-capable data centers for client use, is also strong. The latest news is that hyperscaler demand for its second campus is strong and that it is on track to sell out before completion.

Analysts forecast this stock to advance by 10% at the consensus, but the trends point to the high end range and a nearly 80% upside.

#4 – Ondas Holdings: A 30% Stock Price Surge Is Just the Beginning

Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS) is emerging as a player in the drone industry. Its products are in high demand due to their capability and cost-effectiveness, with growth accelerated by repeat orders, new contracts, and acquisitions. The company forecasted more than $110 million in 2026 revenue, sufficient to sustain its triple-digit hyper-growth pace, and it is likely to be a low estimate.

Analyst trends remain robust, with coverage expanding and sentiment strengthening.

The price target trend places this market at $12, a long-term high that puts it on track to retest all-time highs near $16, and institutional buying aligns with this trend. The group owns only 37% of the stock as of late November, but is aggressively accumulating at a pace of $10 bought for each $1 sold.

#5 – MP Materials Is a Good Buy After Its 50% Correction

MP Materials’ (NYSE: MP) stock price surged to over $100 due to its position in the rare-earthmarket and the U.S. government’s purchase of a stake. Now that it has corrected by 50%, it appears to be a good buy. Not only is it producing revenue and on track for profits next year, but analysts like it and are upgrading the stock.

Among the latest are upgrades from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, which highlight its vertically integrated business and alignment with national security interests. They see it trading near $75, which is sufficient for a 30% upside, and admit there is potential for further upside in their forecasts.

Analog Devices Moves Higher as Super-Cycle Gains Momentum

Analog Devices (NASDAQ: ADI) is well-positioned for advancement in 2026 and will likely set new all-time highs throughout the year. The fiscal Q4 and year-end tally for 2025 was better than expected, revealing that a supercycle in industrial semiconductors is gaining momentum.

The critical takeaway is that growth continues to accelerate, driven by strength across all semiconductor end markets, which are expected to remain solid for the foreseeable future. Not only have inventories normalized, but demand surges are on the horizon that will support pricing, revenue growth, and earnings quality for this cash flow and capital return machine.

Capital Returns Strengthen the Long-Term Outlook

Capital returns are central to Analog Devices’ stock price outlook. The company pays dividends, increases its distribution yearly, and repurchases its shares. The dividend isn’t robust, yielding just over 1.6% in late 2025, but it is reliable, growing at a 10% compound annual growth rate.

Regarding reliability, the payout ratio is about 50% of current-year earnings, with earnings expected to grow at a solid double-digit pace for the next five to seven years. Buybacks are also accretive to investors, reducing share count by approximately 1% in Q4, and are expected to continue in the upcoming years.

Analog Devices Posts Beat-and-Raise Quarter With Strength in All End Markets

Analog Devices had a solid quarter, reporting revenue of $3.08 billion, up 26.2% year-over-year (YOY), with growth accelerating from the prior quarter. The strength was driven by growth across all end markets, underpinned by a 34% increase in Industrial and a 37% gain in Communications. Automotive was also strong at 19%, trailed by a less robust 7% gain in Consumer Markets.

The more important news is that improving revenue resulted in significant leverage gains.

Not only were fixed costs deleveraged, but operational quality improved, resulting in a 190 basis point increase in the adjusted gross margin and a 240 basis point increase in the operating margin.

Earnings grew steadily, with adjusted earnings per share coming in at $2.26—up 35% YOY—and the strength is likely to carry into the future.

Analog Devices’ initial guidance for fiscal Q1 2026 underpins the stock’s bullish price outlook.

The company forecasts $3.1 billion in revenue, a slight sequential improvement and further acceleration in YOY growth. Revenue and earnings projections are several hundred basis points better than analyst consensus and may be cautious, given the building momentum.

Analysts Cheer Analog Devices Q4 Results and Guidance

In the hours after the guidance release, several analysts issued positive commentary, affirming the stock price outlook. As it stands, the consensus rating is a Moderate Buy, with a 12% upside forecast and a bullish bias in the data. Of the 29 analysts covering ADI stock, 21 (72%) rate it as a Buy, and the price target revision trend is positive. The most bullish target tops out near $310, a level that may prove conservative if current trends persist.

Analog Devices’ stock price also responded favorably to the news, rising by 5% in early market action. The move confirms support at the 30-day exponential moving average (EMA), constitutes a trend following signal, and has the market poised to reach new highs within days or weeks. A move to new highs would be significant as it would break the market out of a consolidation and could result in a quick $40 to $60 price advance from the breakout point near $250.
