I find $Microsoft(MSFT)$ Microsoft’s AI strategy the most convincing because it is already turning AI investment into visible revenue through Azure and Copilot. Alphabet $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ is also attractive with its diversified Search, Cloud and Gemini strategy, but I think AI monetization and ROI will matter more than simply spending the most. I believe the late-July selloff was partly amplified by forced hedge-fund liquidation, but valuation and crowded positioning were also important factors. Strong earnings alone may not be enough when future growth is already priced in. I remain cautiously bullish on AI, especially if Jackson Hole and the Fed signal a more supportive rate environment. Personally,

Economic Preview: Key Data Releases (week of 24Aug2026) Consumer Sentiment CB Consumer Confidence for August is forecast at 90.3, suggesting softer consumer sentiment toward the market. This figure can serve as a useful reference point for assessing the strength of household confidence and broader market expectations. Housing Market New Home Sales for July are expected to come in at 620,000 units, slightly below the previous month. The result will provide a reference point for evaluating current conditions in the real estate market. Inflation and Federal Reserve Focus The most closely watched release in the coming week is likely to be the July PCE Price Index. The year-on-year forecast stands at 3.3%. As the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, this data will be closely monitored b

Earnings Calendar (24Aug2026) I am interested in a few earnings that include Salesforce, Nvidia, Zoom, and PDD. Let us look at Salesforce. Technical Analysis has a recommendation of “strong buy”, and the Analysts Sentiment recommends a “Buy”. The stock price has fallen 16.78% from a year ago. With the (analyst) price target of $243.98, there is a potential upside of 16.64%. With the P/E Ratio of 24.2 and an EPS of 8.05, this appears to be rather attractive. One of the reasons why I have picked this stock is due to the potential disruption of AI. How will Salesforce navigate this? This can be a good case study for other companies offering enterprise solutions. We are looking at the annual financial performance since 2022. Revenue has been growing from $26.4B (2022) to $41.5B (2026). With th

🌟🌟🌟The premier corporate report to watch on the ASX this week is $QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED(QAN.AU)$ when it drops its highly anticipated full year FY 26 earnings on Thursday 27 August 2026. While Qantas shares a corporate calendar with other heavyweights like $WOOLWORTHS GROUP LTD(WOW.AU)$ $WESFARMERS LTD(WES.AU)$ Qantas is the ultimate litmus test to evaluate the overall health of the Aust

Yes—but I think the more interesting question is why Wall Street is upgrading them. The latest analyst moves suggest investors are no longer simply chasing “AI winners.” They are looking for companies positioned to monetize the next stage of the cycle. Apple is the clearest example. Redburn upgraded AAPL to Buy and lifted its target from $260 to $400, betting on a stronger product cycle and AI-driven opportunities. Meanwhile, BMO’s bullish coverage of NVDA, AMD, AVGO, MRVL and MU shows that AI spending is still spreading across the entire infrastructure stack—not just GPUs. For me, that is the key takeaway: the market is moving from “Who builds AI?” to “Who captures the profits?” Personally, I pay more attention to repeated upgrades, earnings growth and cash flow than any single price tar
