When ranking the best artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to buy, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM +2.75%) should make the list. Few companies are universally expected to benefit from AI as much as TSMC is, which vaults it to the top of the best AI stocks to buy right now.
So, why is TSMC among the best players to invest in within the chip sector? Its scale is unmatched.
Image source: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.
There are no replacements for Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor is a chip foundry, which means it takes chip designs from its clients and produces them. TSMC's customers range from Nvidia to AMD to Apple and just about every company in between.
Taiwan Semiconductor has always had leading technology, but what really sets it apart from other foundries is its sheer size. So, even if one of these clients wanted to switch to a different foundry, they would only be able to do it in increments or not at all, because there's just no other company on Earth that has the production capabilities that TSMC has. This locks it into a fairly sizable market share and positions it well to capitalize on the massive surge in chip demand for AI computing.

Another factor, as mentioned earlier, is that TSMC supplies chips to Nvidia and AMD. These two companies compete for data center market share, and they aren't the only firms TSMC makes chips for in the AI computing realm. There are countless cases of TSMC making chips for competitors, and that just shows the universality of TSMC as an AI and tech investment.
TSMC is clearly a winner from this standpoint, but how is it doing as an investment? During its latest quarters, TSMC's revenue and profits have risen at a pretty respectable pace.

However, if you follow other AI firms (like Nvidia or AMD), you also know that these growth rates are a lot slower than what those two are experiencing. So, I think this makes TSMC a good AI stock to own, not a great one.
The reality is, other AI stocks offer far more upside than Taiwan Semiconductor. It just isn't growing fast enough to compare to some of its clients. However, if you're looking for a company that will still produce market-crushing returns and will be nearly guaranteed to do so, then it could be a fantastic investment for you.

Demand for Basic AI Skills Fell 25% This Year as Companies Look for People Who Can Build With AI, Not Just Prompt It
Meanwhile, the Usual Ways People Grow at Work, Like Promotions and Moves to New Internal Roles, Are Stalling
, /PRNewswire/ -- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for HR, finance, and IT, today released its October 2026 Global Workforce Report, revealing most business leaders do not expect artificial intelligence to shrink their workforce. Instead, they expect it to change the jobs people already have, but many workers say they aren't getting the help they need to keep up.
The report found that 40% of business leaders expect AI to help them get more out of the employees they already have, while just 28% expect it to reduce headcount. At the same time, the usual ways people grow at work are stalling. Moves to new roles inside the same company fell at 57% of employers, promotions stayed flat, and nearly 4 in 10 employees said their company went through a reorganization or restructuring in the past year.
"Employees may not be changing jobs, but their jobs are changing around them," said Phil Willburn, vice president, people systems, intelligence & support, Workday. "Leaders need to be honest about what's different and give people a way to keep up."
Basic AI Skills Are Already Losing Value
The clearest sign of how fast things are moving shows up in job postings. Analyzing skills data on job requisitions across over 550 employers using Workday Recruiting, demand for basic AI skills, like simple prompting, rose through late 2025, peaked in January 2026, and then fell 25% over the following months. Meanwhile, demand for hands-on skills like building AI tools, automating workflows, and AI engineering rose steadily, climbing 51% between September 2025 and July 2026. Companies have moved on from wanting people who can just use AI to wanting people who can build with it.
Workers are trying to keep pace. In a September 2026 survey of 6,000 full-time employees, 79% of workers said they know what skills they need to succeed, but only 66% said their employer actually helps them develop those skills — a 13-point gap between what employees know they need and the support they're getting. Confidence is high, with 65% saying they're confident they can learn new skills if asked to. In Workday's August AI@Work Pulse survey of 5,944 workers, 62% of those who use AI for nearly all their work said they think it will make their current skills less valuable. Still, more than three-quarters (76%) of those heavy AI users said they expect it to open up new career opportunities.
Making matters harder, job requisition data from companies using Workday Recruiting show companies asking for less of the very skills that would help workers through this shift: mentions of management and leadership skills fell 7% and training skills fell 13% between Sept. 2025 and July 2026.
Fewer Ways Up Inside, More Competition Outside
Moving to a new role inside the same company is getting harder. Internal moves fell at 57% of employers year over year, and promotion rates worldwide stayed essentially flat. According to the global survey, employees trying to move internally most often pointed to hiring being paused for the role, managers who didn't support the move, and selection processes that didn't feel fair. About half of employees didn't even try to move internally last year, and of those, 27% said they simply didn't see an attractive opportunity inside their company.
That's pushing people to look outside instead, and they're not looking alone: 84% of job seekers said they used AI during their search, according to Workday's AI@Work Pulse survey. The median number of applicants for each job that gets filled climbed to 69, up from 58 a year earlier, a possible consequence of AI making it easier for people to apply to more jobs at once. But that extra volume didn't slow hiring down either. The time it takes to fill a role held steady at about 60 days, because more applications don't necessarily mean more qualified candidates. Competition is especially fierce in two industries: the number of applicants per job that gets filled rose 27% year over year in financial services and 40% in technology and media. More than half of applicants in each sector, 53% and 57% respectively, said AI increased how many roles they applied to. More applications aren't translating into faster hiring. Employers said roles mostly stay open because candidates lack the right skills or because pay, location, or flexibility don't line up with what people want.
"The question isn't just whether someone has done the exact job before," Willburn said. "It's whether they can learn fast enough to solve the next problem."
Employees Are Staying, But They're Less Likely to Recommend Their Employer
Because switching companies feels riskier in a slow labor market, employees are staying where they are. Voluntary turnover sits at roughly 16% a year, and about 70% of employees are still with the same company two years later. But Workday's data suggests staying isn't the same as being happy.
Across every industry analyzed, employees who plan to stay are less likely to recommend their employer to others, a gap that reaches 11 points in the public sector. A lot of people plan to stay in their jobs, but fewer of them would tell a friend to come work there. That's a sign of caution, not commitment. Many workers appear to be sticking with the uncertainty they already know rather than risk something new.
"There's a lot of quiet unease in the workplace right now," Willburn said. "Staying isn't the same as buying in, and companies that treat it that way will pay for it in productivity."
About the Report
This report draws on several sources. Figures on internal moves, promotions, turnover and retention come from de-identified workforce data inside companies that use Workday's HR software, limited to active customers with at least 250 employees and matched year-over-year. Figures on what leaders expect from AI, and on employees' confidence and support in learning new skills, come from a global survey of 6,001 employees and business leaders, including about 1,780 decision-makers. Figures on how workers use AI in their jobs and job searches come from a separate Workday survey of 5,944 workers (AI@Work Pulse). Figures on skills demand in job postings are based on the de-identified skills data across roughly 550 enterprise employers using Workday Recruiting from September 2025 through July 2026.

For U.S. Equities, "net capture per 100 touched shares" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments and routing and clearing costs divided by the product of one-hundredth ADV of touched shares on BZX, BYX, EDGX and EDGA and the number of trading days for the period. For U.S. Equities – Off-Exchange, "net capture per 100 touched shares" refers to transaction fees less OMS/EMS costs and clearing costs divided by the product of one-hundredth ADV of touched shares on BIDS Trading and the number of trading days for the period. For Canadian Equities, "net capture per 10,000 touched shares" refers to transaction fees divided by the product of one-ten thousandth ADV of shares for Cboe Canada and the number of trading days for the period and includes revenue. For European Equities, "net capture per matched notional value" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments in British pounds divided by the product of ADNV in British pounds of shares matched on Cboe Europe Equities and the number of trading days. For Global FX, "net capture per one million dollars traded" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments, if any, divided by the Spot and SEF products of one-thousandth of ADNV traded on the Cboe FX Markets and the number of trading days, divided by two, which represents the buyer and seller that are both charged on the transaction. For Cboe Clear Europe, "Fee per Trade Cleared" refers to clearing fees divided by number of non-interoperable trades cleared and "Net Fee per Settlement" refers to settlement fees less direct costs incurred to settle divided by the number of settlements executed after netting.

MercadoLibre jako první velká veřejně obchodovaná firma zvýšila tržby o 30 % po dobu 30 čtvrtletí v řadě; ve druhém čtvrtletí vzrostly o 50 % na 10,2 miliardy USD.
Michael Burry is one of the most followed investors working today. The longtime head of the hedge fund Scion Asset Management gained fame from The Big Short, when his huge bet on the housing crash paid off in 2008.
That tale established Burry as a top contrarian investor, and investors have followed his moves since. Burry shut down his hedge fund last year and now shares his thoughts and investments on his Substack. One of his most intriguing ideas this year has been MercadoLibre (MELI +9.67%). The stock is now down nearly a third from its peak in 2025, even as tech stocks and the S&P 500 are hovering around all-time highs.
The Latin American e-commerce star has been a top performer on the market since its IPO in 2007, but has struggled more recently due to concerns about competition, falling margins, and its risky venture into the credit business.
MercadoLibre got some good news on Monday as the stock popped 9.7% as Brazilian stocks rallied in response to Flavio Bolsonaro's strong showing in yesterday's election, as Bolsonaro is regarded as the pro-business candidate. However, Burry has been making his case for months.
Image source: MercadoLibre.
Why Burry is bullish on MercadoLibreBurry has also gotten attention for short bets against Nvidia and Palantir, and that's part of his thesis behind MercadoLibre. He believes investors have piled into popular AI stocks, leaving strong companies like MercadoLibre trading at bargain prices. He compared it to 1999, when the rush into tech stocks left quality names in other industries trading at attractive prices.
The contrarian investor also argued that management was making a smart long-term move by investing in areas like logistics, lower free shipping thresholds, and growing its credit business. He has cited MercadoLibre's strong top-line growth as evidence that those investments are paying off.
MercadoLibre's unbeatable track record It's understandable why MercadoLibre would pull back on lower margins, as competitors like Amazon and Sea Limited have stepped up their investments in the market.
However, one data point offers a good reminder of MercadoLibre's prowess and its unrivaled growth potential.
It just became the first major company to grow revenue by 30% over 30 consecutive quarters, something no other large publicly traded company has done.
The company managed to do that by expanding its e-commerce business across Latin America, investing in its logistics service to support that growth, and scaling its MercadoPago fintech business in Brazil and Mexico. That growth streak is a tribute to management's execution, the opportunity the company has in Latin America, and the potential it has in new businesses like credit.

The sell-off in MercadoLibre seems to signal that investors believe that its profit margin will be impaired over the long term or that competition will continue to eat into its market share and profitability.
However, I tend to agree with Burry that MercadoLibre's investments are paying off in its growth rate, and it's a mistake to assume the business is in trouble. Revenue jumped 50%, or 43% on a currency-neutral basis, to $10.2 billion in its second quarter, with strong growth in both fintech and e-commerce.
Meanwhile, key metrics like assets under management per user and items sold per buyer continue to move higher, showing the business continues to gain scale. Analysts also expect earnings growth returning next year, calling for earnings per share to jump nearly 50% to $55.95, meaning it's trading around 33 times next year's expected earnings.
That looks like a great price to pay for a company with MercadoLibre's history of growth and its potential. The stock continues to look like a strong buy.

Starbucks po prodeji 60% podílu ve svých čínských aktivitách společnosti Boyu Capital otevřel dvě pobočky v Urumči v Sin-ťiangu, což vyvolalo kritiku amerického Kongresu.
Hi, this is Anniek, writing to you from Singapore. Welcome to the latest edition of The China Connection — a snapshot of what I'm seeing and hearing from local businesses.
Starbucks struck one of Asia's most closely watched deals last year, selling a majority stake in its China business to a local private-equity firm. Now it is getting headaches at home over choices made by a partner that increasingly leans toward Beijing's priorities.
The big storyStarbucks Corp has taken its green apron to Xinjiang, a region where Western governments accuse Beijing of widespread human-rights abuses and where the U.S. restricts imports over forced-labor concerns.
The opening of two stores in Urumqi shows how the Chinese private-equity firm that now controls Starbucks' business in its second-largest market is willing to weather Washington's anger.
Starbucks completed the sale of a 60% controlling stake in its China operations to Boyu Capital in April. The venture aims to grow from roughly 8,000 stores to as many as 20,000, and Xinjiang appears to be a bold, if controversial, first stop.
The U.S. House Select Committee on China called the decision "shocking and morally bankrupt" for "a company that prides itself on social responsibility" and demanded the stores close. Its chairman, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), was blunt in that statement headlined "Starbucks Serves Up Venti-Sized Genocide."
China's Foreign Ministry rejected the criticism, calling U.S. claims of genocide "a blatant lie" and saying Xinjiang has emerged as a region of "social stability, economic prosperity, ethnic unity and religious harmony." Beijing has long defended its security crackdown as necessary to counter terrorism and religious extremism, and denies allegations of "crimes against humanity" and ongoing repression.
Boyu — run by people who know China's politics well — wouldn't have missed the risk, said Ivy Yang, founder of Wavelet Strategy. "Boyu understands the sensitivity of Xinjiang as well as anyone," she said. In her view, the decision shows the firm weighed Washington's reaction and concluded that the domestic commercial opportunity mattered more.
The Hong Kong-based private-equity firm, co-founded by Alvin Jiang, a grandson of the late President Jiang Zemin, has long been seen as having close ties to China's political elite.
Starbucks has been losing ground on price and speed to local rivals, Yang said, and a new owner who's under pressure to deliver growth is likely to go where the stores aren't yet.
Molly Liu, chief executive of Starbucks China, in a recent statement, pledged to keep investing in the region.
Business vs geopoliticsSome, however, believe Starbucks' store openings cannot be read as a purely commercial decision.
"Chinese authorities have a strong interest in attracting prominent global brands to Xinjiang to demonstrate the region's stability," said Dan Wang, China director at Eurasia Group.
Beijing has spent years courting investment in Xinjiang. Supporting the region economically became a state goal after the controversy over Xinjiang cotton, said Yaling Jiang, founder of consumer consulting firm ApertureChina, and state television and social-media content have since turned it into a consumer aspiration.
But Xinjiang remains among China's poorer regions. Its full-year rural per capita disposable income only just topped 20,000 yuan ($2,983) for the first time last year, compared with 24,456 yuan for rural residents nationwide. The non-metropolitan median household income in the U.S. was $60,459 in 2023.
More than a dozen American brands have already ventured into Xinjiang, including Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's, Tesla and Burger King. But few have drawn comparable criticism from U.S. lawmakers.
And that expansion has gathered pace since 2023, according to GeoHey Brand Insights, a geospatial-data research firm, despite the landmark Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act signed into law in December 2021.
"Worsening geopolitics is inevitable, and must be priced into any exit negotiation," said Meng Shen, director of Chanson & Co., a Beijing-based boutique investment bank, of multinationals' interest in joint ventures with Chinese partners.
With U.S.-China ties steadying this year, Starbucks' Xinjiang stores are now a test of the climate for American business in China, Wang said — if Starbucks ultimately halts the project under U.S. pressure, it would send a negative signal to American businesses in China that commercial commitments can be overridden by political pressure from Washington.
That could make U.S. brands even more wary of Chinese partners and future deals harder to negotiate, she said.

Key Headlines Impacting Eli Lilly and Company Here are the key news stories impacting Eli Lilly and Company this week: Positive Sentiment: The FDA expanded approval of Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) for previously untreated adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma without a 17p deletion. The decision, supported by Phase 3 results, expands Jaypirca’s addressable market and could accelerate sales growth. FDA Expands Approval for Eli Lilly Therapy in Untreated Leukemia Patients Positive Sentiment: Lilly’s experimental cancer drug olomorasib received FDA orphan-drug designation for pancreatic cancer. The designation may provide development incentives and highlights Lilly’s effort to broaden its oncology pipeline, though it is not an approval or proof of commercial success. Lilly Expands Oncology Footprint With FDA Win for Pancreatic Cancer Drug Positive Sentiment: Lilly expanded its collaboration and licensing agreement with Gate Bioscience to discover medicines aimed at difficult-to-drug proteins. It also partnered with Ginkgo Bioworks on drug discovery, strengthening external innovation efforts and potentially adding to its long-term pipeline. Gate Bioscience Expands Collaboration and License Agreement With Lilly Positive Sentiment: Early results for a next-generation obesity treatment targeting the amylin pathway renewed enthusiasm about Lilly’s ability to extend its leadership in the rapidly growing weight-loss market. Reports also point to strong patient growth and market-share gains versus Novo Nordisk. Eli Lilly Targets Amylin Pathway to Unlock Next Generation Obesity Drug Combinations Neutral Sentiment: Lilly will present 21 dermatology studies at the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, including data on Ebglyss, Taltz and Zepbound. The presentations could support future adoption, but they are not immediate revenue catalysts. Lilly Dermatology Portfolio Data Negative Sentiment: At roughly $1.09 trillion in market value and a forward earnings multiple near 39, Lilly’s valuation already reflects substantial obesity-drug growth. Any clinical, regulatory or competitive setback could therefore produce outsized downside. Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades Several brokerages have recently commented on LLY.

The arrangement has helped fuel optimism about a major customer relationship and future revenue. Broadcom Stock Jumps Following Reported $42 Billion Financing Deal With Anthropic Positive Sentiment: AI revenue momentum remains exceptional: Fiscal third-quarter AI semiconductor revenue reportedly reached $16.7 billion, up 221% year over year, while management’s fourth-quarter guidance calls for $21.7 billion, or 236% growth.

SummaryCompaniesFBI says contractor failed to implement security patch explicitly issued to secure platformSources identify Accenture as platform manager and Oracle PeopleSoft as breached systemBreach exposed job details, addresses and medical records of thousands of FBI employeesWASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation removed an Accenture contractor on Monday over their role in a damaging data breach that exposed sensitive personal details of thousands of bureau employees, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The development comes as the FBI is still trying to ascertain the ramifications of the breach, which some former bureau officials have described as a major blow to the organization's operational security.
Sign up here.
In a statement to Reuters, a senior FBI official confirmed that an unidentified contractor had failed to properly update — or patch — the system they were responsible for.
"To date, our review has determined that the incident occurred as the result of a security failure of a platform managed by a third-party organization — after a contractor failed to implement a security patch explicitly issued to secure the platform," FBI cyber chief Brett Leatherman said in the statement. "As such, the FBI has removed the contractor and taken all necessary steps to both mitigate any further risk and protect our workforce."
The FBI did not identify the platform or third-party organization, but the two sources familiar with the matter said the platform was Oracle's (ORCL.N), opens new tab PeopleSoft, a human resources platform that the hacking group ShinyHunters said it exploited to break into the FBI's job site last month.
Oracle did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The sources also said the third-party organization was Accenture (ACN.N), opens new tab. Reuters could not immediately identify the specific contractor or determine their current employment status.
In a statement, Accenture said it was "proud to support the mission of the FBI and will continue to do so." It did not answer questions about the contractor or their alleged failure to patch.
CRITICAL PATCHESIn June, Google raised the alarm over a ShinyHunters-linked hack-and-extort campaign aimed at organizations using PeopleSoft software. The same day, Oracle issued a security alert, opens new tab identifying a weakness in PeopleSoft and offering security fixes.
Both companies urged organizations running PeopleSoft to "apply all Critical Patch Updates, Critical Security Patch Updates and Security Alerts without delay."

Akcie společnosti Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) v daný den vzrostly o 5,2 % na 121,57 USD, což je podle GF Value o 380,1 % více než odhadovaná vnitřní hodnota 25,32 USD.
On October 05, 2026, Applied Optoelectronics Inc AAOI shares rose 5.2% to $121.57, reflecting a significant increase in the context of its 52-week range of $18.50 to $233.67. This movement is indicative of the stock's recent volatility and investor sentiment.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $121.57 vs GF Value of $25.32, indicating a 380.1% overvaluation.GF Score™ of 62/100 suggests an above-average performance relative to peers.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $124.5M over the past 12 months with no buying activity.Is AAOI Overvalued or Undervalued?Applied Optoelectronics Inc AAOI is currently facing significant overvaluation concerns, as highlighted by the GF Value™ estimate of $25.32. This metric is GuruFocus' proprietary intrinsic-value estimate based on historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance predictions. With the current trading price of $121.57, the stock is trading at a staggering 380.1% above its GF Value™, which raises serious questions about its margin of safety for potential investors.
The GF Valuation label categorically states that AAOI is significantly overvalued. This disparity between the market price and the GF Value™ serves as a cautionary signal for investors, indicating that entering a position at this price could involve considerable risk. Although the stock has shown impressive price performance over the past year, with a staggering YTD increase of 248.7%, the underlying valuation metrics suggest that the stock may be more reflective of speculative trading rather than fundamental strength.
How Does AAOI's Valuation Compare to Its History?MetricCurrentHistoricalP/E (TTM)N/A~1.4x medianForward P/E26.4xN/AAs the company is unprofitable and cash-flow-negative, conventional earnings-based metrics like P/E do not apply effectively. However, the forward P/E ratio of 26.4x suggests that, even on a projected basis, the stock remains expensive relative to historical valuation norms. This further corroborates the GF Value™ assessment that AAOI is significantly overvalued.
What Does AAOI's GF Score™ Tell Us?The GF Score™ is a comprehensive metric that evaluates a stock's financial health, growth potential, and valuation relative to its peers. AAOI has a GF Score™ of 62/100, which suggests it is above average, but it exhibits weaknesses that cannot be overlooked.
MetricRatingGF Score™62/100Financial Strength6/10Profitability2/10Growth7/10Valuation1/10Momentum10/10The GF Score™ highlights that while AAOI has decent growth potential (7/10) and outstanding momentum (10/10), it suffers from weak profitability (2/10) and poor valuation (1/10). This combination of strengths and weaknesses indicates that although the stock has momentum, the lack of profitability and concerning valuation metrics could pose risks for long-term investors.
What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with AAOI?Currently, 4 gurus hold positions in AAOI, with no additions and 7 trimming their holdings in recent quarters. This trend of trimming indicates a cautious outlook among institutional holders. Furthermore, insider activity has been notably negative, with insiders selling $124.5 million worth of shares over the past 12 months and no buying activity reported. This pattern of selling could signal a lack of confidence in the company's future performance from those closest to it.
These guru and insider signals are important indicators for potential investors. The notable absence of buying activity from insiders, coupled with the trimming behavior by gurus, suggests that there may be underlying concerns about the company's valuation and future profitability.
What This Means for InvestorsBased on the GF Value™ assessment and the current price of AAOI, it is evident that the stock is significantly overvalued. This valuation context, combined with concerning insider selling and guru trimming activity, suggests that investors may want to exercise caution when considering an investment in AAOI. While the stock's recent performance has been impressive, the underlying financial metrics and valuation concerns cannot be ignored.

Akcie společnosti SanDisk letos posílily o více než 600 % díky poptávce po pamětech NAND poháněné AI, která podle článku nadále převyšuje výrobní kapacity.
Sandisk (SNDK -0.92%) has had a monster year. It's up over 600% this year, making it the top-performing S&P 500 stock. It has had an incredible year, thanks to the strength of the AI build-out, which is consuming nearly all of the memory chip production capacity.
This has created an environment in which Sandisk can thrive; however, the market isn't convinced it will last, despite several outlooks saying it will. This could lead to a major investment opportunity, and if memory demand holds through 2030, Sandisk could be an incredible investment to make right now.

Sandisk's upside comes from two areas Sandisk makes NAND memory, which is utilized for long-term information storage. For data centers, the most widely used product that utilizes NAND memory is the solid-state drive (SSD). This represents a bit of a problem for Sandisk, as there isn't much to separate one company's SSD from another's, so it's a commoditized product. Fortunately for Sandisk, nobody in the industry has enough production capacity to produce enough NAND memory, so prices for this commodity are rising.
This has led to incredible growth for both Sandisk and its peers, and it should continue for some time. One of Sandisk's industry peers, Micron, noted in its 2027 market outlook that it expects NAND industry shipments to grow in the low-20s percentage range. So, capacity isn't increasing that much, but AI demand is skyrocketing.
This will keep the NAND industry supply-constrained, and it may be some time before Sandisk and its peers can supply enough NAND memory to keep up with the soaring demand from data centers.
But what will that turn a $10,000 investment into by 2030? First, Sandisk stock should likely trade like a normal stock since a cyclical downturn isn't coming anytime soon. Right now, it trades at 8 times earnings expectations for fiscal year 2027, which ends in June 2027.
SNDK PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
If Sandisk can trade for 20 times earnings at the end of next fiscal year, that's 150% upside right there. If Sandisk can grow 15% each year after that through 2030, that's another 50% growth. I think it's a bit of a conservative estimate, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Sandisk's stock triple over the next few years, turning a $10,000 investment into $30,000.
If Sandisk can do that, then it's a stock well worth buying, as not many stocks can do that in such a short time frame.
Alexandr Wang — the 29-year-old MIT dropout who has spearheaded the launch of Meta’s wildly successful Muse AI app — is a foul-mouthed, mullet-wearing tech bro with a penchant for posting off-color memes on social media.
Last month, two weeks after the Sept. 8 launch of the new Muse AI agent, Wang posted an image of Muse’s cuddly, stuffed-animal-like mascot Jolly, smiling serenely while displaying its large, fuzzy butt.
“[D]oes this do anything for any of you,” Wang wrote, adding, “be honest no judgment zone.”
The post sparked a torrent of copycat memes – some of which Wang reposted – depicting the mascot in sexually charged poses. The techie shared one post that showed Zuckerberg and his own head atop Jolly’s body in the butt-flaunting pose – adding to the mounting online content sexualizing the mascot.
Alexandr Wang, Meta Chief AI Officer, speaks during the Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, Calif., on Sept. 23. AP Photo/Jeff Chiu Wang – who was hired by Zuckerberg last year in a $14 billion deal – has brought a heavy dose of free-wheeling Gen Z energy to Meta as the company has grappled with assorted scandals and litigation including a $12.7 billion settlement in California over teen social media addiction.
Wang’s arrival initially sparked tumult and skepticism, with numerous high-profile executives including AI guru Yann LeCun leaving the company in the months that followed. But over the past month, the release of the Muse app has sent Meta’s stock soaring 20% – boosting its market capitalization by more than $400 billion.
“this is f–king great,” Wang wrote on Saturday in response to a post on X that showed how one user employed Muse to build a video game app.
Wang’s online profile is drastically different from Zuckerberg – who has long been known for his straight-arrow Facebook posts that tend to mark family occasions and product launches along with his Brazilian jiu-jitsu matches.
A post on X that was circulated by Alexandr Wang, a 20-something MIT dropout spearheading Meta’s AI efforts. At Meta’s recent annual developer conference, Wang appeared on stage wearing a camouflage “Whitetail Deer” T-shirt and a pair of Crocs.
One X user mocked Wang for the garb, saying the tech executive likely spent thousands of dollars on the outfit.
“excuse me I must correct the record on this slander,” Wang shot back, writing on a photo of himself the prices he paid for each item – $30 for the thrifted T-shirt, $60 for the Crocs and $5 Calvin Klein underwear.
Wang highlighted the latter by drawing a red arrow pointing to his crotch.
Wang’s edgy style could be entirely strategic as Meta has struggled to reel in younger users to Facebook and Instagram platforms.
Meanwhile, the 42-year-old Zuckerberg, a father of three, has lately played more official roles, including dining with President Trump at the White House last week – a far cry from when Zuckerberg had “I’m CEO, Bitch” printed on his business cards not long after launching the company in 2004.
Wang co-founded and served as CEO of the data-labeling startup Scale AI, which exploded in value as it became a key vendor for leading AI labs – turning Wang into one of the world’s youngest self-made billionaires.
Wang joined Meta in a June 2025 deal in which Meta invested $14 billion into Scale, took a 49% stake and hired the CEO to revamp its AI efforts following a disappointing showing of its latest model Llama 4.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg attends a press briefing held by U.S. President Donald Trump with AI executives following a meeting on artificial intelligence, outside of the White House. Getty Images Upon joining Meta, Wang was reportedly frustrated by Zuckerberg’s micromanagement of the company’s AI push, calling it “suffocating,” according to a Financial Times report.
Mike Volpi, one of Scale’s board of directors and a partner at Hanabi Capital, told the Wall Street Journal that when “you spend billions of dollars to bring onboard a non-Meta person in a very senior role in this company, it’s going to ruffle some feathers.”
But, he added, “I would give both Mark and Alex an enormous amount of credit for actually being able to make it work.”
Ombudsmanka doporučila soudu schválit nákup dat Spirit Airlines společností Google za 10 milionů USD poté, co byly vyloučeny databáze cestujících a data anonymizována.
Google just got a boost in its bid to buy Spirit Airlines’ data for AI training By You're currently following this author! Click to unsubscribe from email alerts.
Google's bid to buy Spirit Airlines' old data has been challenged by unions representing flight attendants and pilots. Michael Nagle/Bloomberg via Getty Images Google just got a win in its effort to buy Spirit Airlines' old data.
A court-appointed consumer privacy official recommended the sale be approved in a filing on Monday, citing steps taken by Spirit and Google to address risks to passenger privacy.
"The parties have taken consequential steps to protect the privacy of the personal data of the Spirit consumers," Lucy Thomson, the consumer privacy ombudsman, said.
The filing said the companies revised the scope of personal consumer data included in the sale, excluded passenger databases, and hired a third party, Tonic.ai, to conduct de-identification of data that could contain consumers' personal information, such as company emails.
"These changes will significantly reduce the potential risk of harm to the 97 million consumers who provided their personal data to Spirit for the purpose of booking airline travel," the filing said, adding that any risk of privacy losses to consumers had been "eliminated or mitigated."
After Spirit Airlines shut down in May, Google won an auction for its data with a $10 million bid. The sale still requires court approval. Google has said the data would help improve its products and AI models.
Unions representing Spirit flight attendants and pilots have filed objections to the sale, saying it would undermine their privacy. The union that represents American Airlines pilots, including some 700 who formerly worked for Spirit, joined the objection in a filing last week, arguing the sale could hinder aviation safety.
A representative for Spirit did not provide additional comment when reached by Business Insider. Google did not respond to a request for comment. The company previously said that personally identifying information would not be included in the sale.
"Google is not buying any personal information from Spirit. The information will either be completely excluded or will be deidentified by an independent third party before Google receives the data," the company has said.
The ombudsman was appointed to evaluate risks specific to consumer privacy, as US bankruptcy law provides for consumer protections in data sales. The ombudsman said her review did not include whether the sale posed any privacy risks to employees.
Lawyers previously told Business Insider that the proposed sale served as a reminder that, as an employee, your work data is generally not private and belongs to the company.
While the ombudsman's recommendation helps the companies' case, approval of the data sale is ultimately up to the court. A hearing on the proposed sale is scheduled for October 14.
The filing on Monday also said that if other bids for the data are considered by the court — including those placed by AI training companies Mercor and Micro1 — additional review of consumer privacy concerns would be needed. The ombudsman specifically said she'd need more information about a "supply chain security incident" that happened at Mercor earlier this year.

Šéf Nokie Justin Hotard uvedl, že bez omezení v dodávkách by zákazníci stavěli datová centra dvakrát rychleji, což podle něj potvrzuje, že rozvoj AI je teprve v rané fázi.
The tech industry would build data centers twice as fast without the supply constraints they face, the CEO of Nokia told CNBC, underscoring continued demand for AI even as top executives debate slowing down the pace of development.
"I don't think you can say in any manner we're overbuilding today because reality is that if we could build 2x faster, our customers could build 2x faster, they probably would," Justin Hotard told CNBC's "The Tech Download" podcast.
"So that gives me confidence that we're still in the early days" of the AI buildout, Hotard added.
Shortages of key memory chips and energy are among the supply constraints facing the sector.
Nokia, one of the world's biggest telecommunications equipment makers, has pivoted to become a key player within the AI infrastructure space. It sells the technology required to connect racks of chips within data centers as well as technology that interconnects data centers across different locations.
Nokia's growing role as a "picks and shovels" player in the AI boom appears to have won over investors, with the stock up around 130% over the past year.
Nokia 1-year stock chart.
But there's been continued debate over whether the industry is building data centers too fast and whether demand will be there to sustain it.
Investments in the AI buildout from data centers to chips and related infrastructure will total $10.3 trillion from 2025 to 2032 — an average of 3.63% of U.S. gross domestic product per year, according to research presented at the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity.
Companies are using debt, joint ventures and other complex financing mechanisms to raise investment for these projects, which depend on sustained demand for AI services over the long term.
Concerns about the pace of the AI buildout were exacerbated by safety worries sparked by an Anthropic researcher's warnings on the existential threat of the technology, which prompted the company's CEO Dario Amodei to call for a slowdown in the development of the most advanced models.
That sparked a knee-jerk sell off in AI-related stocks last month.
Hotard said that demand for AI is not just predicated on frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI releasing new models.
"I think the reality is that we're even where we are today is so early in the deployment, and the power of these models is so massive that there's a lot of there's a lot of demand to run in just deploying," Hotard said.
"Even if we didn't have another frontier model released in the next three years, we could probably make tremendous progress just deploying the technology that's there today."

Walt Disney (DIS +1.39%) and Nike have been iconic brands for decades. They have, however, been struggling of late. Their valuations have been declining, and generating strong growth has also been much more of a challenge than it has been in the past. Both have also changed CEOs in recent years.
Disney's decline hasn't been as disastrous as Nike's (it has lost nearly 80% of its value in five years), but it could end up following the same path. Here's why I think investors are better off avoiding the entertainment stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
Why Disney's stock could be in troubleI see many similarities between Disney and the apparel company Nike. They are in entirely different sectors of the economy, but the problems are comparable. Nike has long been a premium brand, but demand for its high-priced products has declined sharply. The business is struggling to turn things around.
Disney is still growing its business and generating decent numbers, but how long that may last is questionable. Between rising prices and long lines, it's debatable just how much value an experience at one of Disney’s parks really offers families these days. It may face a reckoning in the near future, especially as inflation strains consumers' budgets and they opt for cheaper travel and entertainment options.
I also see the modest growth in its entertainment segment (it was just 6% last quarter), which includes its Disney+ streaming service, as another example of the challenges the brand is facing these days in winning over consumers.

The stock is cheap, but that doesn't mean it can't go lowerDisney's stock is trading at 21 times its trailing earnings, which is modest in relation to the S&P 500 average of 23. And the gap widens when looking at the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple, which considers the earnings growth ahead for the business (based on analyst projections). Disney's stock is trading at a forward P/E of 14, while the S&P average is 20.
But a low valuation is not a surefire strategy for buying stocks. They can dip lower, especially ones that appear to be in trouble, which is my assessment of Disney. The brand may be losing its luster, and while it's still growing, a significant chunk of that growth is simply due to price increases.
Disney's stock has declined by more than 40% in five years, and I wouldn't be surprised if it incurs even greater declines in the future. With too many question marks around the business, this is a stock I'd avoid right now, as it looks to be on the same path as Nike.

Vale (VALE +2.83%), a global iron ore, nickel, and copper miner, closed at $14.15, up 2.83%. The stock jumped following Brazil's presidential election and reported market preference for Flávio Bolsonaro. Investors will also be watching for Vale's late-October results.
Trading volume reached 95.4 million shares, coming in about 249% above its three-month average of 27.4 million shares. Vale IPO'd in 2002 and has grown 530% since going public.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.66%) closed at 7,774, up 0.67%, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +1.05%) closed at 27,477, up 1.05%. Among diversified metals and mining peers, BHP Group (BHP +0.88%) closed at $86.83, up 0.88%, and Rio Tinto Group (RIO +1.53%) closed at $95.65, up 1.53%, as investors also monitor iron ore and copper pricing.
What this means for investorsBrazilian stocks soared to record levels following a surprise first-round presidential election result. Conservative candidate Flávio Bolsonaro surprisingly took the lead in the first round of the presidential election, and investors feel that could benefit Vale and others with business interests in the country.
Along with gains in Congress that could further support Bolsonaro's policies should he win the runoff election later this month, investors see a fiscal and regulatory environment that would help miners like Vale.
Earlier this year, Vale raised its 2026 copper and nickel guidance, and investors will hear updated commentary when the company next releases performance data on Oct. 29.
