$Broadcom(AVGO)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ I think Google and Broadcom are starting to look like generational buys, similar to Microsoft and Meta a few months ago. Broadcom being down YTD seems overdone after the last earnings report, and Google caught a lot of criticism for falling behind in the AI race, but they just released Argon.
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ Stifel upgraded Microsoft to Buy this morning, price target $530 to $575. That's about 15% upside from yesterday's $498 close. The thesis centers on Azure plus Copilot sustaining mid-to-upper teens revenue growth. The tension is the capex. Microsoft spent $41B in the fiscal fourth quarter and $145B for the year, and FY27 is expected to be heavier. Stifel's answer is that expense efficiency keeps margins stable and the cash flows cover it without outside financing. Inside the note: Microsoft reworked its OpenAI contract in April. OpenAI now shares revenue with Microsoft through 2030. Some of Azure's growth is a contract, not a bet.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Up 9 points before the open. Shorts are getting squeezed out here, and the stock looks set to keep pushing toward 485. Strong buy, bullish setup.
$Rezolve AI(RZLV)$ Brinks is probably wishing he had held onto AMD. He went long AMD back in 2014 and 2016 at roughly a $3 average cost, and eventually sold in the $200 range. He also made around 50% on his $Esperion Therapeutics(ESPR)$ position. I know he has started a position in RZLV as well, which he has shown on his Twitter account. Canyon got a group of us looking at RZLV after the $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Google partnership news and the subsequent earnings drop. The more I dig into it, the more compelling the valuation looks. RZLV is arguably one of the most undervalued AI stocks out there. The company is growing revenue at an incredible rate, wit
