Meta( $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ ) Platforms recently announced significant investments in artificial intelligence, unveiling its new "AI Studio" platform to compete with OpenAI and Google in the generative AI space. CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted Meta’s focus on integrating AI into its family of apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, alongside developing cutting-edge AI models for enterprises. With the announcement, Meta’s stock surged 4% overnight.

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple stock has had a rough patch lately, dropping nearly 13% this month alone, which is significant for the company. It's also down around 9% year-to-date. Analysts have been downgrading the stock, and there's a lot of negativity surrounding the company. My thoughts on whether Apple now represents a great buying opportunity for such a high-quality company, or if it’s still overvalued, and we should wait for a better price. That’s what I’m going to dive into in this article, and I hope you find it helpful. Global Declining iPhone One reason I think Apple has been struggling recently is due to the global decline in smartphone shipments, as seen in their latest report. While this may not be 100% official, it’s largely driven by worldwi

1. Market Overview: New Records Amid Optimism ATH The $.SPX(.SPX)$ closed at a new all-time high, rising 0.5%, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 0.9% and the $.IXIC(.IXIC)$ up 0.2%. This marks the S&P 500’s first record close since December, fueled by strong earnings and tempered policy remarks from President Donald Trump. 2. Key Drivers Trump’s Davos Address: Tariffs: Spoke broadly about plans but hinted at potential tariff adjustments, particularly regarding oil and aluminum imports.

$J.P. MORGAN NASDAQ EQUITY PREMIUM INCOME ETF(JEPQ)$ $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ JEPQ VS SHCD Today, I’ll be comparing SCHD and JepQ in terms of long-term growth potential, downside protection, and tax considerations. Let’s dive in! We'll start with a quick overview of what each fund is and how they are managed, just to set a baseline. In my opinion, these two funds shouldn’t really be compared to one another since they’re so different, but a lot of people do, so let’s break it down. The main similarity is that both funds are income-focused investments, and they both primarily invest in U.S. stocks. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. There are three main differences I’ll highligh

$Constellation Software, Inc.(CNSWF)$ Constellation Software is a very interesting company because there's really no other stock like it in the market. They are essentially a serial acquirer, buying numerous businesses. While many companies rely on growth through acquisition, Constellation Software stands out in a few ways. Fundamental Firstly, they typically acquire very small software businesses, resulting in ownership of hundreds of companies. Secondly, they adopt a Warren Buffett-like approach, allowing these software units to remain independent. They don't integrate these acquisitions into a larger software suite, which means they avoid the high merger charges that other companies often incur. For example, in 2014, their merger charges were

Crude oil prices are back in the spotlight, surging 10% this month alone. The recent spike is fueled by tighter supply constraints from OPEC+ production cuts and rising global demand, particularly from China. Analysts are debating whether crude oil can reclaim the $100 per barrel mark. Key Drivers of the Surge OPEC+ Cuts: Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their production cuts, reducing global output by 1.5 million barrels per day. China's Demand: China’s post-pandemic recovery has led to a sharp rise in energy imports. Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing tensions in the Middle East are keeping supply risks elevated. Market Insights WTI Crude: Currently trading at $94 per barrel, its highest level since November 2022. Brent Crude: Approaching $97, with analysts projecting a potential breakout above

Jefferies reiterated a Buy rating on $META and maintained its price target at $715. They wrote: "Expectations for META are reasonable, up 4% since Q3 vs. AMZN +24% & GOOGL +17%. While we see potential near-term downside to FCF estimates as META delivers initial FY25 Capex & Total Expense guides, we believe this would likely be a bottom and that there will be strong returns from these investments. Our ad checks remain bullish on META, and our conversations with teens indicate that TikTok's ban is driving them to IG Reels. Reiterate Buy, PT $715 = 24x our FY26 EPS."

Twilio $TWLO announced a strong outlook at its Investor Day, sharing preliminary Q4 2024 results with 11% YoY revenue growth and projecting $119 billion in revenue by 2028. The company exceeded its prior guidance for non-GAAP operating income, maintained its 2024 free cash flow expectations, and reaffirmed a confident 2027 profit forecast. Additionally, Twilio introduced a $2 billion share repurchase program, underscoring its commitment to long-term growth and profitability. $TWLO was up 15% after hours.

 The Cleveland Fed’s New Tenant Repeat Rent Index fell sharply into negative territory at -2.43%, its largest drop since the financial crisis in 2010. This signals easing inflationary pressures and potential relief in rent-driven CPI. However, it may also indicate weaker housing demand and broader economic slowdown concerns. While beneficial for tenants, the decline could pressure landlords and real estate investors and may foreshadow broader economic challenges if tied to reduced consumer confidence. Investors expect Fed Chair Jerome Powell to address this at the FOMC meeting on January 29th and discuss its implications for inflation cooling down, potentially leading to rate cuts.

 AI-driven demand is pushing uranium prices to new highs, with enriched uranium reaching $190 per separative work unit, the highest ever recorded. Prices have surged approximately 240% over the past three years, according to UxC. Interest in nuclear power has grown rapidly as companies and governments seek carbon-free energy solutions for powering data centers. Major firms like Amazon $AMZN and Microsoft $MSFT are exploring nuclear fuel to support their AI data center operations, highlighting nuclear power as a key energy source for the future. Nuclear companies benefited today, with $NNE up 17% and $OKLO up 14%.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has disclosed Bitcoin holdings valued between $1 million and $5 million through Fidelity Crypto. A vocal advocate for Bitcoin, he has referred to it as the "currency of freedom," emphasizing its potential as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. $BTC ETFs saw $1B+ of inflows over the past two days.

 ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, plans to spend over 150 billion yuan ($20.6 billion) in 2025, with half allocated abroad on AI infrastructure such as data centers and networking, according to Reuters. Key beneficiaries of this investment include $NVDA Nvidia, Huawei, and Cambricon. ByteDance, a leader in China's AI race with over 15 AI-powered apps like the chatbot Doubao (75M monthly users), still trails U.S. tech giants like $GOOGL Alphabet ($50B) and $MSFT Microsoft ($80B) in planned AI spending.

 The Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 0.25%, bringing them to the highest level in 17 years. While a similar move in August 2024 triggered a sharp market selloff due to traders covering massive yen short positions, this time the impact is expected to be muted. CFTC data shows the yen short float peaked in July, with traders already deleveraging in anticipation of a hike. Additionally, the strong U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), near 2022 levels, could benefit from this, as higher rates abroad may help balance currency strength, improving the U.S. trade deficit. The USD/JPY remains largely unchanged in response.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives raised Palantir’s $PLTR price target to a Wall Street-high of $90, citing strong confidence in the company's AI strategy, which positions it as a leader in the growing AI market. The analyst likened Palantir to becoming the next $ORCL Oracle or $CRM Salesforce, with its AIP platform emerging as a foundational tool for enterprises adopting AI. Palantir’s expanding commercial and federal customer base underscores its competitive moat and potential to generate over $1 billion in AIP U.S. commercial revenue in the coming years. Wedbush maintains an "Outperform" rating, emphasizing Palantir as a top pick for 2025.
