Meta Platforms, Inc.
Meta’s share price is trading near the upper end of its 52-week range with double-digit 1–3 month gains and multiple bullish breakout signals, while momentum indicators show an overbought and extended near-term condition. Fundamentally, the company combines very high margins, strong cash generation, and low leverage with recent pressure on net income and EPS growth. Valuation multiples are elevated relative to cash-flow yield, and positioning is accompanied by high short-volume activity despite modest overall short interest.

2 Millionaire-Maker Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks

The article highlights Oracle and Tesla as two AI stocks with significant growth potential. Oracle's cloud computing segment is growing rapidly at 34% year-over-year, driven by major deals like its $300 billion agreement with OpenAI, though the company has taken on substantial debt to fund data center expansion. Tesla is pivoting toward mass production of its Optimus humanoid robot, with plans to launch at $20,000-$30,000 by end of next year, potentially transforming the company beyond electric vehicles.

Meta Platforms secured a strategic deal with AMD to purchase 6 gigawatts of GPUs and become a lead customer for AMD's sixth-generation EPYC CPUs, receiving warrants for up to 160 million AMD shares (approximately 10% stake worth ~$35 billion).

Is AMD a Buy After Meta Deal?

AMD shares rose following a major multi-year deal with Meta Platforms to supply 6 gigawatts of GPUs, with Meta also receiving stock warrants. Combined with a similar OpenAI deal, AMD now has commitments for 12 gigawatts of GPUs worth potentially over $420 billion, representing more than 10 times its annual revenue. The analyst recommends buying AMD stock despite the recent price jump, citing strong opportunities in AI inference and CPU markets.

Should You Forget Micron and Buy This Other Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chip Stock Instead?

As AI hyperscalers increase capital investments in memory and storage hardware, both Micron and Sandisk are positioned to benefit from a memory supercycle. Sandisk, which specializes in NAND flash storage and high bandwidth flash solutions, has surged over 1,750% in the past year. While Micron offers more diversified DRAM and HBM solutions, both stocks trade at attractive valuations compared to other AI chip stocks. The author recommends owning positions in both companies as memory and storage remain critical bottlenecks in AI infrastructure buildout.

Pool Stock Is Down 35% This Past Year, and One Fund Recently Disclosed Dumping a $10 Million Stake

Wedgewood Partners exited its entire $10 million stake in Pool Corporation (POOL) during Q4 2025. Pool's stock has declined 35% over the past year as the company navigates a normalization phase following pandemic-era demand. Despite solid fundamentals with $5.3B in 2025 revenue and steady 29.7% gross margins, the fund's exit reflects a preference for secular tech compounders over cyclical distributors.

CoreWeave Slides as Losses and Heavy CapEx Overshadow Revenue Beat

CoreWeave (CRWV) shares fell over 11% in premarket trading after reporting Q4 2025 earnings that beat revenue expectations but disappointed on losses and guidance. The AI cloud infrastructure provider posted $1.57B in revenue (110% YoY growth) but reported a loss per share of $0.89 versus analyst expectations of $0.49-$0.72.
