Microsoft: SaaS Scare Overdone, Compelling Cloud Growth And Valuation

Summary Microsoft Corporation is the worst-performing Magnificent-7 stock YTD, but recent price action signals investor sentiment is turning positive. AI disruption fears have pressured software margins, yet MSFT's business diversity, strong fundamentals, and fortress balance sheet provide resilience. MSFT's revenue grew 15% and EPS 18% last quarter, with Azure up 40%, while ongoing AI and data center investments temporarily compress free cash flow. I view MSFT stock as a Buy at current valuations, given its leadership, adaptability, and potential to regain margin through in-house AI model development. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Nvidia: Subsidization Of Sovereign AI Backed By Washington And CPU Edge

Summary Nvidia remains a strong buy, as it cements its role as the OS of agentic AI, expanding its moat through Vera CPU and advanced vertical integration. Vera CPU unlocks a $200B TAM by disrupting legacy x86 architectures, delivering 2x performance-per-watt and 4x density per rack versus competitors. The EXIM Bank-backed ExportAI initiative de-risks sovereign AI CapEx, creating a multi-billion-dollar floor for NVDA’s international ACIE segment revenues. Key risks include $18.6B circular financing in ACIE, potential CapEx busts, Huawei’s Tau Scaling threat, and critical ABF substrate/CPO supply chain chokepoints.

Apple: We Don't Need No Engineering, We Don't Need No Fold-A-Phone

Summary Apple Inc. remains a Strong Sell due to excessive valuation risk tied to iPhone dependency and slowing device sales growth. AAPL's revenue growth has relied heavily on Pro and Pro Max lines, with Services growth insufficient to offset device sales stagnation. The upcoming CEO transition and iPhone 18 launch present heightened risk, as market expectations for innovation and sales are extremely high. Valuation disconnect is pronounced, with a 3.2x PEG ratio and price far outpacing fundamental earnings and revenue growth. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Intel: The AI Trade Is Shifting To CPUs Now

Summary I was cautious about Intel before, but Q1 forced me to take the turnaround more seriously. I still own a small position, but I'm not adding yet. What changed is that CPUs no longer look like yesterday’s business. Server demand, pricing, and Google’s ASIC deal made me rethink Intel’s place in AI infrastructure. Intel's ASIC business was a genuine surprise. CFO Zinsner confirmed on the Q1 call that it already exceeds $1 billion in annual revenue and nearly doubled YoY. At 110x forward P/E against AMD's 70x and Nvidia's 24x, I think the stock prices in a second-half supply and margin recovery that has yet to materialize. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
