Palantir attracted a lot of attention last year after surging from under $10 per share in 2023 to over $200 per share last year. Conversations about Palantir becoming a trillion-dollar company became more common, but since then, the stock has shed more than 20% of its value year-to-date.
It's a sign that some investors believe there are better choices in the stock market, and that also holds true for people who want to buy the next $1 trillion company. The three stocks on this list have compelling growth prospects, positive year-to-date stock gains, and appear to have a better shot than Palantir at reaching the $1 trillion milestone.

1. Sandisk Sandisk (SNDK +0.10%) benefits from the same tailwinds as Micron, which recently reached a $1 trillion valuation, but it is growing faster. Sandisk's NAND flash memory chips are critical for AI infrastructure, and they have fueled more than 4,500% in gains in its stock price over the past year.

No one would have viewed Sandisk as a contender for a $1 trillion valuation a year ago, but it now has a $300 billion market cap. The company posted 97% sequential growth in its fiscal 2026 third quarter. The fact that Micron smashed prior guidance suggests that Sandisk can do the same when it reports its fiscal 2026 Q4 earnings in August.
All this top-line growth also comes with rising profitability. Sandisk delivered 350% sequential net income growth and wrapped up its fiscal 2026 Q3 with a net profit margin just above 60%. Sandisk's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has risen to 72, but substantial net income growth suggests its valuation will look much more attractive to investors who buy at these levels within a year.
2. Advanced Micro Devices Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +6.74%) is another strong contender for a $1 trillion valuation by 2030. Its $850 billion market cap and year-to-date gains in its stock price of more than 100% suggest it can achieve this milestone sooner than 2030.

AMD's P/E ratio has been elevated due to the recent run-up, reaching 174. It's not as much of a bargain as Sandisk with that ratio in mind, but fundamental growth for the AI chipmaker remains attractive.
Revenue increased by 38% year over year in Q1 2026, while operating income was up by 83% year over year. The demand for AI chips will continue to surge as tech giants ramp up their AI spending. Most of that money is going to Nvidia, but AMD has clearly established itself as a viable alternative.
AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su told investors that the company "expect[s] server growth to accelerate meaningfully" due to inferencing and agentic AI. This technology is still in its early innings, and AMD's prime positioning puts it well on track to reach a $1 trillion market cap.
3. Caterpillar Caterpillar (CAT +0.59%) has rallied by almost 70% year to date as the AI build-out increases energy demand. Not only did Caterpillar deliver 22% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1 2026, but it also reached a record backlog of $62.7 billion. That figure is up 79% year over year and provides clear revenue visibility for future quarters. That includes an $11.5 billion increase from Q4 2025 to Q1, a 22.5% sequential boost.
The Power & Energy segment is the defining part of recent momentum. That part of the business was up by 32% year over year, with power generation sales up by 48% year over year. Caterpillar also reported more moderate growth rates for its Construction Industries and Resource Industries revenue, with those figures up by 7% and 6% year over year, respectively.
Caterpillar still trades a little below a $500 billion market cap, but strong momentum and continued energy demand amid intense AI spending can support a rally to $1 trillion by 2030. The company also makes good use of stock buybacks, including $5 billion in share repurchases in the first quarter. Caterpillar also paid out $0.7 billion of dividends to shareholders.
AI tailwinds continue to power all three stocks on this list as they move toward $1 trillion valuations. If hyperscalers keep throwing more money at AI, each of these stocks should keep rallying.
Skupina ekonomů z Bank of Italy poukazuje na to, že „vývoz čínského zboží od roku 2020 prudce vzrostl a čínské firmy stále více konkurují těm ve vyspělých výrobních a technologických odvětvích“. Co je podle ekonomů příčinou tohoto vývoje a jaké jsou jeho důsledky pro Evropu?
„Čínský vývoz zboží od roku 2020 prudce vzrostl, zatímco dovoz zůstal víceméně beze změn, což v roce 2025 dostalo přebytek obchodní bilance se zbožím na rekordních 1,2 bilionu dolarů. Tento vývoj znovu oživil obavy z nového čínského šoku. Takový čínský šok 2.0 však není jen opakováním situace z počátku 21. století, která následovala po vstupu Číny do Světové obchodní organizace,“ tvrdí ekonomové. Tento první šok byl totiž podle nich z velké části způsoben integrací Číny jako „nízkonákladového výrobce na práci náročných výrobků“.
Současný šok je jiný, protože čínské firmy stále více konkurují firmám v oblasti „sofistikované výroby, zelených technologií, strojů, elektroniky, dopravních prostředků a dalších odvětví, která tvoří jádro evropské průmyslové základny.“ Co je základem této čínské strategie? „Slabá domácí poptávka snížila schopnost čínských firem prodávat na domácím trhu a tlačí je na trhy zahraniční. Delší období domácí deflace spolu s depreciací nominálního směnného kurzu přitom zlepšilo cenovou konkurenceschopnost Číny. A průmyslová politika a vládní podpora pomohly udržet investice a výrobní kapacitu ve strategických odvětvích.“
Ekonomové pak na základě své analýzy tvrdí, že „mezi lety 2018 a 2022 vysvětlovaly domácí faktory méně než 10 % dynamiky čínského exportu. Od konce roku 2023 to je přibližně 75 %.“ Slabá domácí poptávka je tak dominantním faktorem. Naznačuje na to i fakt, že odvětví, která čelí klesající domácí poptávce, zaznamenala nejsilnější růst exportu směrem na zahraniční trhy. A existuje obava, že americká cla by mohla směrovat čínský export k eurozóně. „Podle naší analýzy se ale nárůst čínského exportu zdá být především výsledkem strukturálních sil doma v Číně, spíše než odklonem obchodu od amerického trhu,“ dodávají ekonomové.
Ekonomové také poukazují na to, že nižší dovozní ceny u zboží z Číny mohou být v Evropě přínosem pro spotřebitele a některé firmy, „ale mohou také snížit domácí aktivitu ve výrobním sektoru v odvětvích přímo vystavených čínské konkurenci.“ A platí, že „pro Evropu není vhodnou reakcí ani široce zaváděný protekcionismus, ani bezpodmínečná otevřenost vůči Číně. Přístup k nákladově efektivním a technologicky vyspělým čínským vstupům může podpořit domácí konkurenceschopnost v navazujících odvětvích, zmírnit cenové tlaky a přispět k dosažení cílů v oblasti dekarbonizace a zejména čistých technologií.“
Zároveň musí být zmíněná otevřenost doprovázena schopností reagovat na narušování hospodářské soutěže dotacemi, netržními praktikami a dotováním nadměrných výrobních kapacit. „První čínský šok se do značné míry týkal integrace tohoto nízkonákladového výrobce do globálních řetězců a obchodu. Současný šok se více týká technologií. Pro eurozónu může být jeho krátkodobým důsledkem nižší inflace u zboží. Dlouhodobou výzvou je ale zajistit, aby tyto zisky nešly na úkor slabší průmyslové základny, nižších investic a snížené technologické konkurenceschopnosti,“ uzavírají ekonomové.
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between February 25, 2026 and April 13, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 28, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted deliveries of the Lucid Gravity; (2) the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Lucid's business and financial results; (3) accordingly, the defendants had overstated the purported enhancements to Lucid's manufacturing and delivery capabilities and overall operations; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The space economy has become a reality. According to Morgan Stanley, the global space industry could exceed $1 trillion in value by 2040. Given the vast potential for space infrastructure, that growth could continue for decades to come. Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, recently went public in a blockbuster IPO, but it's already worth over $2 trillion.
Don't let SpaceX's hype distract you from Rocket Lab Corporation (RKLB 7.33%) as a potential winner. The emerging SpaceX competitor is doing many things right and just made a very promising acquisition that could boost its growth prospects. I don't think it's a stretch to predict that Rocket Lab stock could help set investors up for life with its returns over the next few decades.
Rocket Lab has two major growth catalysts on the horizon The company broke into the rocket launch services market with its Electron rocket, which is capable of putting small satellites into orbit. Rocket Lab is in the late stages of developing Neutron, its next launch platform. Neutron is a reusable rocket capable of larger payloads, putting it in direct competition with SpaceX's Falcon 9, the current industry leader.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Rocket Lab is already booking Neutron launch missions. In all, the company booked more launches in the first quarter of 2026 than all of last year, and its current manifest of 70 launch missions is an all-time high.
The company wants to do more than launch rockets, though. Rocket Lab recently took a big step in that direction, announcing it was acquiring Iridium Communications for an enterprise value of $8 billion. Iridium provides satellite communications to 2.55 million government and commercial subscribers worldwide. By combining its rocket and satellite manufacturing with Iridium's constellation, Rocket Lab is going after SpaceX's Starlink, its most profitable business segment.
It might take a while, but the stock has home run potential It might be a stretch to say that Rocket Lab will overtake SpaceX as the world's largest space company, but there's no shame in second-place in a trillion-dollar industry. Wall Street analysts estimate that Rocket Lab could earn approximately $914 million in revenue this year, and that's not including Iridium, which generated $871 million in revenue in 2025.
Today's Change
(
-7.33
%) $
-7.36
Current Price
$
93.10
Adding those together puts Rocket Lab's total potential 2026 revenue in the neighborhood of $1.8 billion. Rocket Lab should continue to grow for years to come, especially once Neutron gets going. The stock's valuation is the biggest short-term drawback. Rocket Lab currently trades at a market cap of $58 billion, more than 30 times its estimated 2026 revenue.
That's far less expensive than SpaceX right now, but it could still drag on the stock's near-term performance. That said, the space economy is just getting started, giving Rocket Lab plenty of opportunities to grow and generate potentially life-changing returns for investors over time.
As global sustainability demands intensify, deciding between specialized hazardous waste leader Clean Harbors (CLH +1.15%) and solid waste giant Waste Management (WM 0.79%) is a vital choice for long-term industrial investors.
Clean Harbors thrives in the complex niche of chemical disposal and emergency response, while Waste Management provides essential collection and recycling services to millions of households. While both operate in the environmental services space, their business models differ significantly in scale and regulatory exposure, making each attractive to different types of investors.
The case for Clean HarborsClean Harbors focuses on hazardous waste management and environmental services within the industrial stocks sector. The company operates a vast network of incineration, treatment, and landfill facilities across North America, serving specialized sectors like chemical manufacturing and oil refining. Its InSite Service program embeds experts directly at client locations, creating a recurring and sticky revenue stream from Fortune 500 companies.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $6.0 billion, reflecting roughly 2.4% growth compared to the previous year. Net income for the period was approximately $391.0 million, demonstrating the company's ability to remain profitable despite the technical complexity of its operations. This performance followed a steady trend of revenue expansion over the prior two fiscal years.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was 1.3x, which compares total debt to shareholder equity. The current ratio stands at 2.3x, suggesting the company has $2.30 in short-term assets for every dollar of short-term debt. Free cash flow, which is cash from operations minus capital spending, was nearly $438.2 million for the fiscal year.
The case for Waste ManagementWaste Management operates a massive network of collection and recycling assets across North America. Its recent acquisition of Stericycle significantly expanded its reach into the healthcare sector, enabling the disposal of medical waste and the secure destruction of documents. The company serves a diverse mix of residential, municipal, and industrial clients, with no single customer accounting for more than 5% of revenue.
In FY 2025, revenue reached $25.2 billion, a 14.2% increase over the prior year. Net income was approximately $2.7 billion, showing strong top-line and bottom-line growth. This expansion was driven by both organic volume growth and the strategic integration of healthcare-focused waste services.
As of the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio of 2.3x measures total debt relative to shareholders’ equity. The current ratio of 0.9x indicates the company has slightly fewer short-term assets than short-term liabilities, a common trait in capital-intensive utility-like businesses. Free cash flow for the period was robust at approximately $2.8 billion.
Risk profile comparisonClean Harbors faces significant regulatory oversight, evidenced by a 2026 settlement with the U.S. EPA concerning its Safety-Kleen division. The company also manages approximately $230.7 million in environmental remediation and landfill closure liabilities. Integrating the $225 million acquisition of Terra Nova Solutions presents operational risks as it expands wastewater capabilities.
Waste Management is currently navigating the complex integration of its Stericycle acquisition, which involves synchronizing billing and operational systems. The company also manages long-term financial commitments for 257 landfills and remains exposed to volatile markets for recycling commodities. It competes for residential contracts against large peers like Republic Services (RSG 1.27%) in various regional markets.
Valuation comparisonWaste Management has a lower forward P/E (price versus future earnings estimates) than Clean Harbors, which has a lower P/S ratio (price versus revenue).

Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
Clean Harbors and Waste Management both help businesses and communities manage waste, but they do so in very different ways. Which is the better investment in 2026?
Waste Management is a familiar name to many people. It serves both individual households and businesses, providing trash removal and recycling to its customers, which generates a fairly consistent source of revenue. It pays a steady dividend and also rewards its shareholders with stock buybacks. The company is currently expanding through its acquisition of Stericycle, which handles medical waste. And though this offers great growth potential, it’s also an added risk. While it doesn’t have a lot of competition in its space, its pricing power is often limited by contracts with municipalities.
Clean Harbors is more specialized, dealing with hazardous waste treatment and disposal. It has a major catalyst for growth: the stricter EPA regulations recently imposed on the disposal of “forever chemicals.” However, its growth depends in part on regulatory requirements, and higher fuel costs can pressure margins because its incinerators consume significant amounts of energy.
The choice ultimately depends on an investor’s personal goals and risk tolerance. Those who want a reliable, dividend-paying investment may find Waste Management to be the better choice. But growth-focused investors may prefer the high-moat, regulation-driven opportunity presented by Clean Harbors.
VICI Properties trades at a depressed 11.24x P/AFFO, well below its historical average, offering 36% potential upside on mean reversion. VICI maintains a fortress balance sheet with a conservative 35% leverage and a 4.0x interest coverage ratio, supporting investment-grade ratings. The 6.62% dividend yield is well-covered by a 73% AFFO payout ratio, with AFFO per share growing 4.5% year-over-year.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy’s Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine’s expected first quarter 2026 output ahead of Peabody Energy’s full earnings release. In pertinent part, defendants announced that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to mining commissioning challenges (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

The automotive sector is capital-intensive and intensely competitive. O'Rielly Automotive (ORLY 6.66%) has built an impressive distribution network, and Wall Street recognizes it. Lucid Group (LCID +9.54%) is still trying to get its business up and running, but the process hasn't been going very well. You should probably avoid these stocks for very different reasons in the second half of 2026. Here's a look at each one.
O'Reilly Automotive is a very well-run company Among auto parts retailers, O'Reilly is a top player. Over the past decade, the company's revenues have increased at an annualized rate of roughly 8%, while earnings have advanced at an annualized rate of roughly 17%. The company operates across the retail and commercial segments of the auto industry, serving both do-it-yourself customers and your local auto shop. It has over 6,600 stores spread across 48 states, Mexico, and Canada.
Image source: Getty Images.
The company had a solid first quarter in 2026, with sales up 8% and earnings up 16%. But the stock is in the middle of a drawdown anyway, off around 15% from its all-time highs. That's not an unusual pullback, noting that the stock has declined by 25% or more seven times since the 1990s. O'Reilly is a growth stock, so this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
The problem is that the stock still looks a bit expensive. For example, its price-to-sales ratio is 4.2x versus a five-year average of 4x. The price-to-earnings ratio is 29x versus a five-year average of 26x. The forward P/E ratio is 28x compared to a long-term average of 24x. It wouldn't be a dramatic mistake to buy O'Reilly at these levels, especially if you are a long-term investor. But it still isn't cheap. For those with a value focus, it probably makes sense to remain patient here.

Lucid Group is in a risky position Lucid's stock price is down roughly 99% from its all-time high. The company is still just a start-up in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. The problem is that, production-wise, it is barely a rounding error for industry leaders like Tesla (TSLA +6.70%). To put some numbers on that, Lucid's first-quarter 2026 production totaled 4,774 vehicles, while Tesla produced 451,758 vehicles. Lucid isn't even in the same league, and it isn't only competing with Tesla; every major auto company now produces EVs.
Being small is just the start. The company is also struggling to meet its own targets. Notably, it just brought in a new CEO and suspended its full-year production guidance. The new CEO came in and cleaned house, as well, bringing in a new leadership team. Meanwhile, the company continues to lose money on every car it sells, with its revenues falling well short of its production costs. And notably, it sold only around 80% of the cars it built in the first quarter.

There's a chance the new leadership team can turn this story around, but as it stands, Lucid could be in deep trouble. Most investors should avoid the stock until it at least turns a gross profit, but waiting until it generates positive earnings would probably be a better choice. Neither of those outcomes is likely in the second half of 2026.
One auto stock worth watching and one to avoid At the end of the day, O'Reilly is probably worth keeping on your wishlist. If the drawdown continues in the second half of 2026, it may become an attractive buy. But, right now, it's still a little expensive. Lucid, meanwhile, is struggling to survive. Most investors probably shouldn't make the bet that it does until the new CEO and leadership team have started to improve the company's currently troubling story.

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2026) - Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) securities between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026. AeroVironment operates as a defense technology provider delivering integrated capabilities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
What does the complaint say?
According to the complaint, on May 1, 2025, AeroVironment announced it had completed the acquisition of BlueHalo, LLC. Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver BADGER phased array antenna systems (a type of advanced ground-terminal system used to track satellites), to support the U.S. Space Force's Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource ("SCAR") program.
Plaintiff alleges that during the class period defendants consistently assured investors that the SCAR program would drive revenue growth for AeroVironment moving forward. Plaintiff further alleges that during the class period defendants failed to disclose that the Company understated the likelihood that it would face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the SCAR program and the U.S. Space Force's ongoing efforts to modernize the SCN and overstated it business and financial prospects.
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on the Company's agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program. On this news, AeroVironment's stock price fell $61.97 per share, or over 15%, to close at $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced disappointing financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. These financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the Company's space division after the stop work order on the Company's BADGER systems built for the SCAR program. AeroVironment also reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated the Company's contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to "recompete" for the SCAR program. On this news, AeroVironment's stock price fell $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, to close at $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.
What can shareholders do now? You may be eligible to participate in the class action against AeroVironment, Inc. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must submit their papers with the court by July 27, 2026. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here.

Tootsie Roll Industries Inc (TR) Shares Fall 5.8% -- GF Value Says Still Overvalued
On July 06, 2026, Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR shares fell 5.8% to a current price of $38.40. This decline comes amid a 52-week range where the stock has seen a high of $45.06 and a low of $32.69.
GF Value™ verdict: TR is currently priced at $38.40, which is 21.8% above its GF Value™ of $31.53.GF Score™: 79/100, indicating an above-average ranking that suggests potential for solid long-term performance.Most notable signal: With a momentum rank of 9/10, TR shows strong positive momentum in its price performance. Is TR Overvalued or Undervalued? The current price of Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR stands at $38.40, notably higher than its GF Value™ of $31.53. This indicates that the stock is overvalued by approximately 21.8%. The GF Valuation label classifies TR as "Modestly Overvalued," highlighting a potential risk for investors. A higher valuation than the intrinsic value suggests that current shareholders may be exposed to a downside risk if the market corrects towards the intrinsic value. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
With a GF Value™ significantly lower than the current trading price, the stock does not present a margin of safety for new investors. The risk of a price correction might be a concern for those looking at TR as a new investment opportunity.
How Does TR's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 28.9x 30.5x Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR is currently trading at a P/E (TTM) of 28.9x, which is 5% below its 5-year median P/E of 30.5x. This indicates that TR is trading below its historical valuation levels. The P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, suggesting that while the stock is modestly overvalued, it is not excessively so compared to its historical performance.
What Does TR's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 79/100 Financial Strength 8/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 4/10 Valuation 5/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 79/100 highlights that Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR has solid financial strength and profitability, both rated at 8/10. However, the growth rank of 4/10 indicates weaker growth prospects relative to its peers. The momentum rank of 9/10 points to strong recent price performance, suggesting that the stock has been in demand. Overall, while TR exhibits strength in financial health and profitability, its growth potential may be a concern for long-term investors.
What Are Insiders Doing with TR Stock? In the past three months, there have been no reported insider transactions involving Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR. This lack of activity might suggest that insiders do not see immediate opportunities for buying or selling shares, which can be interpreted as a signal of stability in the company's current valuation.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR is currently considered overvalued. Investors may want to exercise caution when considering entry points, as the current price exceeds the intrinsic value, indicating potential downside risk.
For the complete analysis, visit the Tootsie Roll Industries Inc TR stock page. You can also explore the GF Value™ page for detailed valuation methodology, or use the GuruFocus Stock Screener to find similar opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions What is TR's GF Score™?

Is TR overvalued or undervalued?
TR is currently overvalued, with a price of $38.40 compared to a GF Value™ of $31.53.
What is TR's P/E ratio?

The energy sector is ripe with both high-dividend stocks and consistent payout growers. To the delight of income-hungry investors, some stocks fit both bills.
A fine place to locate high-yield dividend growers in the energy patch is the midstream space, home to master limited partnerships (MLPs) and pipeline stocks. The midstream is littered with well-known income powerhouses, including Enbridge and Energy Transfer, among others, but some less heralded names are also deserving of investors' attention. Enter MPLX LP (MPLX 0.33%).
This pipeline stock could provide years of comfort to income investors. Image source: Getty Images.
For those not familiar with this pipeline operator, it was spun off from Marathon Petroleum in 2012 and continues to manage Marathon's pipeline assets. Investors evaluating MPLX need to account for the Marathon relationship because it is, in a word, additive. It's rooted in long-term contracts driving highly visible cash flow, which are vital when assessing this energy stock and its 7.3% dividend yield.
The Marathon partnership is important and is one ingredient in the MPLX dividend recipe. Still, there's much more to like about MPLX, and those other ingredients indicate this could be a durable dividend stock for long-term investors.
Deal-making hones focus Not all energy stocks benefit from deal-making, but MPLX is a prime example of a company that knows how to execute on that front. Last year, this midstream outfit made three purchases while parting ways with its Rocky Mountain business. That slims the company's focus (in a good way) to the Marcellus and Permian shale regions.
Investors approaching MPLX with a long-term perspective may find those areas of emphasis appealing for several reasons. Acquisitions that deepen MPLX's Permian footprint enable the energy company to strengthen its drill-to-Gulf Coast proposition while fortifying its natural gas liquids (NGLs) exposure.
Long-term investors shouldn't gloss over MPLX's place in the NGL ecosystem. From this year through 2035, the NGL market is expected to nearly double, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 7.1%. North America is the largest NGL market in the world, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports are ramping up, and they are at the top of the White House's America energy independence agenda. So while MPLX isn't a 100% pure-play liquefied natural gas stock, its angles on that corner of the energy space may be contributors to long-term share price appreciation.

There's also an artificial intelligence (AI) angle here. Yes, these days it sure feels as though many non-tech companies have "AI hooks," but in MPLX's case, the energy firm is AI-relevant. The reasoning is simple. It's Marcellus, and Permian footprints are favorable in the data center expansion scenario because natural gas is abundant and cost-effective. That's exactly the type of energy data centers crave.
More gas in this dividend's tank Seasoned energy investors know that dividends are one of the primary reasons to consider pipeline stocks, but it's not just about whether an operator pays today. It's about what they can deliver next year and for years to come.
MPLX answers the payout growth bell with ease. The 12.5% dividend hike announced by the company last October raised the annual distribution to $4.31 per share, meaning it has grown nearly 10 times in just over 11 years. The company is targeting 12.5% distribution growth through 2027, implying a dividend primed to compound.
Skeptical investors may be apt to think MPLX's dividend outlook sounds too good to be true. While some skepticism is warranted in investing, there's good news with MPLX: Its dividend doesn't burden it. It has a 1.8 debt-to-equity ratio, and its $5 billion in liquidity can fund almost two years of spending based on current rates. In the first quarter, MPLX generated $549 million in free cash flow, leading to distribution coverage of 1.3 times. So the dividend is safe with a solid foundation for long-term growth.
Electricity demand is rising, and nuclear power is increasingly seen as a solution to the growing need for baseload power. The numbers are shocking, with technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles expected to drive a six-fold increase in electricity demand. NuScale Power (SMR 1.28%) has a novel nuclear power technology that could be very attractive, but the company still needs to nail down its first sale.
NuScale Power is a money-losing start-up, but the opportunity here could be huge. Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are factory-built, small enough to be transported to where they are needed, and can be placed in relatively close proximity to population centers, given modern safety standards. This makes them a perfect fit for AI data centers. However, the company's SMRs are also designed to be linked together, enabling them to provide a solution for utilities looking to develop new nuclear power plants.
Image source: Getty Images.
Buying NuScale Power now will get you in early in the development process. The 30% drop in the share price in 2026 is worth noting, since it highlights the risk you take when buying a company that's still quite young. But aggressive investors willing to buy for the long term will also be maximizing their long-term growth opportunity by stepping in before the company is sustainably profitable.
Two reasons to wait before buying NuScale Power The easy reason to suggest waiting to buy NuScale Power is, of course, that it isn't yet sustainably profitable. But there are actually two other, more important reasons.
The first reason to wait is that NuScale Power hasn't yet signed a definitive agreement to sell one of its nuclear reactors. It has irons in the fire that are very promising. For example, it is working with a Romanian power company that wants to buy six NuScale reactors, but the money for the purchase hasn't been lined up yet. That one is still up in the air. NuScale is also working with the Tennessee Valley Authority and ENTRA1 Energy, but that deal is still in the early stages, as well. Until there's a confirmed sale, NuScale Power can't even take on the second big reason to wait.

The second reason to hold off on buying NuScale is that it hasn't proven it can profitably build an SMR. Or that its SMRs will operate reliably once built. So even after the first signed-on-the-dotted-line sale, there's still a lot more that has to be done here before the company's business model can be considered sustainable.
Only aggressive growth investors should be looking at NuScale Power There's no question that NuScale Power has an exciting nuclear power technology. If that technology gains traction, the stock could be a huge winner. However, there's no firm SMR sale yet, and there's no way to know if the SMRs it builds will be reliable until they are actually being used. Most investors should probably keep this one on the watch list, with the risk of investing here probably only appropriate for the most aggressive of aggressive growth investors.

Smart investors know to watch out for bear markets. Wise investors, however, know the signs of such setbacks aren't always obvious. Sometimes you need to keep your eyes peeled for subtle hints of trouble.
Harvard University economist Xavier Gabaix thinks we may be seeing one of those hints right now. He's observed that investors often buy into initial public offerings -- like the recent one from Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 0.97%) (aka SpaceX) and the impending ones from OpenAI and Anthropic -- with money from the sale of other stocks. His number-crunching shows that historically, for every $1 removed from the market, the total market cap of the stock market falls by $5. Investment advisory outfit GMO performed a similar analysis and got a similar (but slightly worse) outcome.
And there's no denying that public offerings are flowing in earnest now. J.P. Morgan Private Bank, the wealth management division for JPMorgan, predicts a total of $260 billion will be raised this year through the issuance of newly minted stocks. That nearly eclipses the post-pandemic fundraising surge of 2021, when companies rushed to capitalize on the rapid economic recovery then underway as well as on a market that was receptive to new publicly traded companies at any price. The last time we got anywhere close to these inflation-adjusted levels was back in 1999-2000, right before the dot-com crash. Before that, you have to go back to 1929 to see anything quite like what's happening now. Of course, that's the year Black Tuesday kicked off a miserable bear market and the Great Depression.
Connect the dots. Exuberance seems to be at its highest right before everything unravels.
More to the point for investors right now, the current flood of new fundraising implies that corporate confidence -- in businesses as well as the economy -- is dangerously high, portending a fall. Indeed, some analysis suggests a tumble of about 40% within a year could be in the cards.
There's something to it The concern stemming from the correlation makes sense, and not just because of what happened a couple of times in the past. There was a pretty good swell of IPO activity in 2014, too. Although it didn't lead to a recession or a bear market, it did precede an economic headwind and a measurable setback in the S&P 500's (^GSPC +0.72%) earnings as well as in domestic corporate profits the following year. And when Black Monday unfurled back in October of 1987, a whopping 229 companies were planning public offerings (versus about 200 so far this year), according to numbers gathered by research company EBSCO, looking to capitalize on the steep valuations the bull market of the time was supporting.
Just understand that correlation isn't causation. If the market is set for a sizable setback, it's not specifically because too many companies are raising too much money by going public. That's a symptom, not the cause.
Image source: Getty Images.
Rather, if a pullback occurs, it will be because most investors decide that stocks as a whole aren't justifying their current valuations with actual earnings -- current or projected.
That's a distinction worth highlighting because bear markets can happen with or without an explosion in the number of IPOs or the amount of money they're raising. For instance, we didn't see a bunch more public offerings in 2007 before 2008's subprime mortgage meltdown, which also ended a nice bull market. Conversely, while IPOs peaked in 1999 right before 2000's tumble, public offerings were unusually high -- in terms of total count and money raised -- for most of the 1990s. The market rallied most of that time anyway.
The point is, when you're picking stocks or deciding to be in or out of the market, you should evaluate each situation individually.
So what's the answer? The recent swell of IPO fundraising is an important nuance to consider since it could be an indicator of what former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan labeled "irrational exuberance" back in 1996, when the dot-com mania first started heating up. It's just one of many details to consider, though, and it certainly shouldn't scare you. Scared investors make rash decisions that end up hurting them in the long run. Informed investors make well-reasoned decisions that accurately weigh risks against rewards, and they make measured changes to their portfolios as that information evolves.
In other words, don't panic here. If a bear market is brewing, it won't unfurl in a single day. Use the time you've got to think your decisions through. And never say never. Again, public offerings were unusually elevated for the better part of the 1990s, but the market logged gains for most of this stretch. Something similar could happen now, in defiance of the historical odds.
It's also possible that investors' selling existing positions to fund participation in this year's IPOs won't actually send the shares of those existing holdings lower this time around. This is a very unusual market environment, after all, one in which small-time retail traders are more active and have more impact than they ever have before. If nothing else, small investors are more likely than their bigger institutional counterparts to buy stocks on a dip, buoying the market.
Still, don't ignore the sudden swell of IPOs. There's no denying that when you see something this rare, something unusual is happening. The trick is figuring out what that thing really is.
The question of who owns the most stock means more when you're asking about Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 0.97%) than when you're asking about a typical public company. The June 2026 IPO floated a thin slice of the business -- nearly 4.3% of the equity -- which means the people and firms who held shares before the debut own the rest. The ownership structure that developed across two private decades when SpaceX was a private company is the one that governs it now that it's public, and it puts a small number of names in charge of a $2 trillion enterprise.

Elon Musk owns the most SpaceX stock There is no contest at the top. Elon Musk holds close to 42% of the equity, a stake worth more than $1 trillion at the IPO valuation. Musk's block sits under a lockup that lasts until June 2027, with no early release provision, so the largest holder is a seller of nothing for the first year on the market.
Image source: Getty Images.
The outside investors who own the most SpaceX stock Behind Musk, the biggest holder is a name many investors miss. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (GOOGL +1.87%), the parent of Google, owns close to 7% of SpaceX, a position that can be traced to a $1 billion investment it made alongside Fidelity in January 2015 (Alphabet invested $900 million, with Fidelity contributing the remaining $100 million). That single check turned Google into the largest outside shareholder in the company, a bet on rockets from a search and advertising business.
The early venture backers hold the most striking returns rather than the largest slices. Founders Fund, a firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, wrote a $20 million check in SpaceX's 2008 Series C round, and that stake is now worth $50 billion. Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Valor Equity Partners each hold positions of around 2% or below. The February 2026 merger with xAI added new faces to the list, including Nvidia and the Qatar Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund.
The employees and the public shareholders One large block hides in plain sight. SpaceX pays its workforce with restricted stock units and options, so employees hold a collective stake that the company does not break out in its filings. That group has waited years for the tender offers, and the staggered lockup schedule that lets them sell, and the size of their holdings is one of the least visible parts of the ownership story.
You don't have much power if you buy SpaceX Beyond them sit everyone who bought at the IPO or after. Public shareholders own the small float, and more shares will reach the market as insider lockups expire throughout late 2026.
The ownership map delivers one clear message: Buying SpaceX stock makes you an owner of the economics, but it doesn't give you a voice in the company's direction. SpaceX uses a dual-class structure: Musk's Class B shares carry 10 votes each, giving him 82.4% of the voting power. A public shareholder who buys Class A stock gains economic exposure to the rocket and satellite business without a real say in how it is run.
Put plainly, the float exists so the public can fund the vision while the people who already own it decide what that vision costs and who profits from it. You get a ticker, a price that moves, and the privilege of watching Musk run a $2 trillion company on your money. If the board ever faces a hard call between what serves Class A holders and what serves the man holding 82.4% of the votes, the math has been settled since before you showed up.
You are along for the ride, not steering it, and the ride is being priced at a valuation that assumes almost everything goes right. Whether that's a risk you want to take is up to you.
After three years of spectacular gains, technology companies faced a rockier path in the first half of this year -- particularly in the first quarter. Investors worried about the pace of spending on artificial intelligence (AI) and whether the revenue opportunity would make it all worthwhile. Turmoil in Iran also weighed on sentiment as energy prices rose and investors carefully watched U.S. economic reports -- and many of these reports prompted them to question the strength of the economy. All of these uncertainties pushed investors into a rotation out of certain AI stocks and into companies viewed as offering more revenue stability.
The situation brightened in the second quarter, as strong corporate earnings reports and work toward peace in Iran offered investors reason for optimism. The S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average even advanced in the double digits. And the Dow posted its best first half in five years.
But, during the first half, one particular tech stock had a difficult time. This giant was the worst-performing mega-cap in the Dow over that period. Is the company a stock to avoid, or is it offering investors a no-brainer buying opportunity right now? Let's find out.

Platforms you may use daily Which company am I talking about? One that you probably know very well -- you may even use one of its key products daily at work or at home. I'm talking about Microsoft (MSFT 0.94%), owner of the Microsoft 365 suite of apps, including the immensely popular platforms Word and Excel.
Microsoft stock dropped about 20% in the first half of the year, posting the biggest loss of any mega-cap member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Why such a decline? Earlier in the year, as the abilities of AI models progressed, some investors started to worry that AI would eventually replace software. As a result, software stocks such as Microsoft slid.

Now, I'll address this concern right away: It's very possible that AI could replace some software down the road -- but I wouldn't expect the Microsoft 365 suite to be part of this group. Companies have extensively integrated Microsoft's software into their operations, meaning it would be difficult, time-consuming, and costly to drop this platform in favor of another option. It's also important to note that Microsoft's software integrates AI, offering AI features such as Copilot to users. So as AI advances, Microsoft's software is likely to improve too.
Meanwhile, at home users of Microsoft may not be quick to shift out of their habits of writing on Microsoft Word, for example, and favor a new system. People tend to stick with what they feel most comfortable with -- and many people have been using Microsoft's software for decades.
AI as a valuable partner So I don't think AI represents a major threat to Microsoft, and instead, it may even be a valuable partner. On top of this, Microsoft's cloud business is significantly benefiting from AI as it offers AI products and services to its customers. In the recent quarter, the company said its AI business soared 123% to exceed an annual revenue run rate of $37 billion. As a cloud leader and a key partner of OpenAI -- Microsoft has invested about $13 billion in the AI lab -- Microsoft is well-positioned to win in the coming chapters of the AI story.
Of course, Microsoft stock may not soar as much as a young, up-and-coming AI stock, but that's OK. The company has a profile that may suit a broad range of investors: Its earnings track record will impress cautious investors, and its exposure to AI will please growth investors. And this combination should support stock performance over the long run.
Meanwhile, Microsoft looks dirt cheap at 20x forward earnings estimates, making this Dow Jones stock a no-brainer buy right now.
Xbox is doing a "reset," but can it reboot the business?
Microsoft's gaming brand cut 1,600 employees on Monday, with an additional round of layoffs expected before June 2027, according to an employee memo from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. The layoffs are part of a massive restructuring by Microsoft, which is cutting about 2.1% of its total workforce, or roughly 4,800 employees.
Approximately 350 people affected are from four gaming studios that Xbox plans to offload to outside management: Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs, all of which were bought within the last eight years. A fifth, Arkane Studios in France, could also be sold or spun off.
Sharma, who took over Microsoft's gaming division in February, said in her statement that Xbox's business operation is "not healthy," that costs are too high and the customer base too low. She said Game Pass -- a monthly subscription that provides access to Xbox's collection of games -- and the company's in-house portfolio of games has not grown fast enough.
Over the past few months, Sharma seemed to acknowledge Xbox's weaknesses and pushed changes to address them, including lowering the price of the subscription service.
Xbox has had a tumultuous history, rising to dominate earlier console generations before falling to Sony and Nintendo in the last decade. The original Xbox console launched on Nov. 15, 2001, to compete with Sony's PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube.
While Xbox console sales were at or near No. 1 in the US during the Xbox 360 era in the early 2010s, by the prior and current console generation defined by the Xbox Series X and PS5, Sony's PlayStation is now the global market leader, accounting for nearly half of all sales, with Nintendo's Switch at 27% and Xbox at 23%.
What happened to XboxIn a video titled "How Things Got So Bad at Xbox," Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier argues that Xbox's current turmoil is the result of inconsistent strategy, shifting priorities and a late-stage push for profitability after massive spending.
Schreier traces Xbox's decline from a console-first business to a sprawling, internally conflicted organization with hardware, software, subscriptions and studios pulling in different directions, not to mention expensive acquisitions. Microsoft's $68.7 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard in October 2023 -- the largest acquisition ever in the video game industry -- was followed by repeated Xbox layoffs and the cancellation of games.
In a Bloomberg Live interview last month, Sharma said that Xbox had grown too broad and complex, and was looking to reset the business by focusing on core priorities and long-term sustainability. Sharma said the company needed to look at how it's investing, how it's prioritizing change and how it's operating to return to growth.
In what appeared to be an effort to reassure investors and partners, she called Activision and other studios "incredible assets" and said Xbox will continue to invest in them.
Yet analysts see the sudden cuts and jettisoning of well-known studios as an attack on the Xbox institution that it will be difficult to recover from -- if it does at all.
With this move, Microsoft is slashing and burning 25 years of creativity, infrastructure and goodwill, said Amanda Farough and Mike Futter, game developers and industry analysts who host the Virtual Economy podcast. The message from the top is clear: Do not buy an Xbox.
Farough said that the rapid deaccessioning of Double Fine, Compulsion, and Undead Labs, and the threat to Arkane Lyon, show that current Xbox executives still don't understand the industry.
Divesting from studios and enacting layoffs makes it appear that Microsoft is thinning out to become a more attractive acquisition target, Futter said. Whatever the reason, the result is more instability in one of the worst years within the games industry, with 8,300 jobs lost at the halfway point of the year -- already almost twice as much as in the entirety of 2025, according to the layoff-tracking website GamingLayoffs.com.
"No one is safe," Futter said. "No matter how much you can contribute, how creative you are, how successful your games are, nothing matters more to this leadership than cutting until there's nothing left but the most salable of studios making the next sequel in a household name franchise."
Pundits and media critics have been equally skeptical that Xbox can right the ship. Video game reviewer Max Shockley, whose DreamcastGuy YouTube channel has more than 250,000 subscribers, says Xbox has given up on being a competitive platform. "Games are already releasing half-baked, buggy or downright busted. Less employees won't lead to a more polished product," he told CNET.
Shockley said it will be very difficult for Xbox to develop Project Helix, the codename for its next-gen console that is being conceived as a hybrid to play both Xbox titles and PC games.
"Going into a new console generation with the lowest level of studios and literal billions poured down the drain for zero growth is a complete nonstarter. Their next-generation console, I think, will either not come out or will be fully built by someone else," Shockley said.
The end of the roadFans haven't been happy about the news, either. In a Reddit thread about the restructuring, Xbox fans mostly mocked the company's repeated cycle of buying and cutting studios, framing it as corporate hypocrisy or a "circle of life" for large tech companies.
While some commenters acknowledged that the move could make business sense, others expressed intense disappointment with Microsoft's and Xbox's leadership.
CNET managing editor David Lumb said that even if the layoffs please shareholders, the decision damages trust with gamers and leaves developers paying the price: "It's ghoulish for Xbox CEO Asha Sharma to aspire for a billion daily Xbox players while derailing the lives of thousands of developers making the entertainment to satisfy such aims," Lumb said.
Even if Xbox survives in the long term, this won't "encourage faith in a teetering platform that sprinted to acquire and then relinquished talent-filled studios."
Shockley considers Xbox's future more dire, calling it the "end of the road" and noting that budget cuts, layoffs and studio closures never inspire magically profitable results. "Xbox tried to buy its way to the top of the industry, but the wings of Icarus melted before it reached the heights it needed," Shockley said.
What's nextFor gamers looking forward to the release of new titles, Sharma said there are deals in place for the new owners of Ninja Theory to release its next game, Senua, and for Undead Labs to keep developing State of Decay 3.
Sharma said there will also be reductions and changes in other Xbox units, including Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang and Xbox Game Studios. She said all first-party, publicly announced games or projects are still happening.
A month ago, on June 7, Xbox touted Senua -- the third title in the Hellblade series -- at its Xbox Game Showcase. Longtime video game reporter Stephen Totilo of Game File wrote that, according to a source, Xbox "had already planned to sunset or split with the studio" before announcing Senua.
A buzzy Bloomberg report citing Netflix data suggests viewers are increasingly abandoning popular shows before the second season. The likely reasons aren’t hard to guess: Netflix frequently cancels shows, there’s too long a wait in between seasons, and much of Netflix’s content is designed for an algorithm instead of for the sake of art.
But the data also points to a shift in how people are consuming entertainment. Netflix’s defining innovation – the binge — was built for an era when streaming was competing with traditional TV. Today, Netflix is competing with TikTok, YouTube, Reels, and various microdrama apps. That shift makes Netflix’s binge model feel like a dated relic from another era.
Bingeing helped Netflix beat TV When Netflix first dropped an entire season of “House of Cards” in February 2013, it was a revelation.
Ad-free, internet-connected TV meant we could be unshackled from the traditional routine of once-per-week shows punctuated by commercials. Instead, bingeable shows meant viewers could be entertained for hours on end, quickly forming a bond with titles and their characters that would have otherwise taken years to develop. Plus, you could drop in on them at any time — not only the day the network decided to air them, as with linear television.
This way of viewing made sense in a world where Netflix was largely still competing with traditional TV like broadcast, cable, and satellite. But Netflix won that fight. Nielsen in June 2025 announced that the TV era reached a new milestone, when the Netflix-style streaming format for the first time eclipsed broadcast and cable viewing — a milestone that made clear Netflix’s original competition was no longer the threat.
Now Netflix’s competition isn’t the TV of old, but what has become the TV of today: video apps.
TikTok and YouTube are today’s threats Thanks to the rise of TikTok, Reels, and other short-form video platforms, there’s no need for you to visit Netflix when you have a couple of hours to kill with mindless entertainment. There’s an endless, free supply of video you can turn to instead.
According to eMarketer analysts, TikTok was already nearing Netflix in terms of time spent back in 2024, when U.S. adults were spending an average of 62.1 minutes per day streaming from Netflix and 58.4 minutes per day on TikTok. In 2024, the Financial Times reported that, globally, TikTok users spent an average of 95 minutes per day on the app, the highest engagement rate among major social networks.
Image Credits:eMarketer Then there is YouTube, which offers a combination of both short and longer-form content. Per a report released this year by Digital i, YouTube surpassed Netflix in average daily viewing for the first time, with 99.1 minutes daily in 2025 compared with Netflix’s 93.4 minutes.
These market reports use differing methodologies and demographics, so they should be taken with a grain of salt — but directionally, they point the same way. YouTube and apps like TikTok are Netflix’s real competition, not TV.
Netflix has even acknowledged this existential threat by way of a product redesign in April that added a TikTok-like feed based on Netflix content.
Where Netflix gets the feed wrong is that it’s still pitched as a way to help you find something to watch, rather than being the thing you watch. It’s understandable why Netflix went this route, given its library, but it’s not necessarily what the end user wants. Today, many people with dopamine-drained attention spans are instead seeking out microdrama apps in growing numbers when they want a serialized storyline they can consume in minutes.
Image Credits:ReelShort According to data from the app intelligence firm Appfigures, one top microdrama app, ReelShort, saw roughly $1.2 billion in gross consumer spending in 2025, up 119% from 2024, TechCrunch’s Amanda Silberling previously reported. Meanwhile, another leading app, DramaBox, generated $276 million in gross consumer spending last year, more than doubling its 2024 numbers. Even TikTok acknowledged the competition, launching a microdrama app of its own to test the market appetite for this type of content.
Where does Netflix go from here? Where does that leave Netflix, whose claim to fame has been full seasons dropped at once for rapid consumption?
Likely, it will have to rethink how it’s greenlighting, producing, and releasing what it considers a “TV show.”
That doesn’t mean that the Netflix model has to pivot entirely to short-form to keep up with the competition, but it may need to reconsider how people want to stream. Viewers may no longer want to commit the hours and weeks it takes to get through a show and all of its subsequent seasons, for instance. They want something that feels more “finishable,” the way you can easily get through a YouTube video or TikTok series from a creator.
A simple fix could see Netflix try prioritizing single-season shows, traditionally known as miniseries or limited series, allowing people to tune into a completed work without having to worry whether it would end on a cliffhanger and never be renewed.
Netflix could also experiment with breaking up shows into smaller chunks, like the before-its-time Quibi model.
The Jeffrey Katzenberg-backed startup, Quibi, had bet that people would eventually gravitate towards TV content designed to be consumed in shorter sessions. Unfortunately for Quibi, the pandemic hit, and people suddenly had a lot of time to watch TV, leading to its demise.
Many Netflix shows could be easily revamped for shorter viewing sessions, particularly lightweight competition shows like “Nailed It,” “Is It Cake?,” or “Squid Game: The Challenge.” Meanwhile, Netflix could surely produce better microdramas than the ones currently on the market with their awful acting and ridiculous storylines.
To generate interest in its higher-quality content, some Netflix shows could be shifted to the weekly release model. This is something Netflix has already proven works in specific cases. For instance, it drops new episodes of its reality show “Love Is Blind” in weekly dumps, making it great watercooler fodder as everyone is watching the new episodes around the same time. (Faster consumption models could work, too. For instance, Peacock’s “Love Island USA” is the reality hit of the summer, as there’s a new episode almost daily).
But instead of experimenting with different types of short-form content for quick entertainment, combined with slower releases for seasons, or focusing more heavily on miniseries worth watching, Netflix has been dabbling in other areas.
As of late, it’s expanded its lineup with podcasts, which reportedly no one is watching, and live content, which can be hit or miss. In terms of the latter, Netflix investments in live sports have generally done well, but its recent entry into live reality competition shows, “Star Search,” has already been canceled despite a clever real-time voting feature. More work here is still needed.
Bloomberg’s report framed the problem facing Netflix as a failure to create loyal TV viewers who tune into a Season 2, but the underlying issue facing the streamer is much bigger. Netflix may need to rethink whether it still needs to focus on competing with traditional TV and its long-running shows, or whether it should focus on entertainment projects whose storytelling arcs have less filler and wrap up more quickly.
To find the right balance between viewers ditching cable and those who just want something better than TikTok, Netflix is finding itself needing to reinvent TV all over again.

General Fusion expected to become the first publicly traded, pure-play fusion company
Combined company expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol “GFUZ”
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (“Spring Valley” or “SVAC”) (NASDAQ: SVAC) today announced that its shareholders have approved the previously announced business combination with General Fusion Inc. (“General Fusion” or the “Company”), a leader in the global race to commercialize fusion energy. General Fusion securityholders also voted to approve the transaction at a special meeting held on July 6, 2026. The approval represents another significant milestone toward completing the transaction and advancing General Fusion’s uniquely practical Magnetized Target Fusion (“MTF”) technology, which has the potential to deliver zero-carbon, baseload power in a cost-competitive way. This comes at a critical time as demand for electricity surges and nations around the world race to commercialize fusion power.
The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or about Friday, July 10, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions. At the closing, Spring Valley will be renamed “General Fusion Group Ltd.” Shortly thereafter, the combined company’s shares and warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “GFUZ” and “GFUZW,” respectively, subject to approval of its listing application.
“The expected closing of this transaction represents a major step in the General Fusion journey, building on more than 20 years of technology development and leadership in the industry,” said Greg Twinney, Chief Executive Officer of General Fusion. “Bringing fusion to the capital markets at this inflection point and becoming the first publicly traded pure-play fusion company marks an incredible next chapter for us as we advance on our path to commercialization and our mission to bring clean power from fusion to the grid.”
“We’re proud to support General Fusion at a pivotal moment for both the company and the fusion industry,” said Chris Sorrells, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spring Valley. “Global energy demand is rising, and the need for reliable, clean power has never been greater. General Fusion stands out with strong leadership, meaningful peer-reviewed results, a robust patent portfolio, and LM26, its operating fusion demonstration machine. The company’s practical engineering approach offers a strong path to commercialization. We expect that this transaction will position General Fusion with the capital and public market platform needed to move this technology forward.”
Quick Facts:
General Fusion’s MTF is designed to solve significant barriers to commercializing fusion energy at a time when electricity demand is surging and nations around the world are racing to commercialize fusion power. As a technology, MTF aims to achieve fusion in a practical way, avoiding superconducting magnets and high-powered lasers while enabling the use of existing materials for durable machines that would produce cost-effective energy. In early 2025, General Fusion announced that it had designed, built, and begun operating its Lawson Machine 26 (“LM26”) fusion demonstration machine in under two years. LM26 is the first MTF demonstration machine to be built at a commercially relevant scale. It mechanically compresses plasma with a lithium liner at 50% commercial-scale diameter, based on current design parameters. LM26 aims to achieve key fusion technical milestones: plasma heating to 1 keV (10 million degrees Celsius), then 10 keV (100 million degrees Celsius), and ultimately the Lawson criterion, the combination of fusion parameters that can produce net fusion energy in the plasma.

An ESG-screened equity fund has quietly delivered a big year while sitting out one of the most-traded megacap names on the market. The iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF (NYSEARCA:DSI) climbed 22.29% in the year ending July 2, 2026, riding an AI-heavy roster that includes Alphabet and Intel. What it does not own is Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META | META Price Prediction), the social-media giant that many other large-cap funds hold as a core position.
What DSI Actually Is DSI tracks the MSCI KLD 400 Social Index, a rules-based benchmark that screens U.S. companies against environmental, social, and governance criteria before including them. The fund held 403 positions as of its April 30, 2026 N-PORT filing, with net assets of $5.12 billion. Expense ratio and inception details were not disclosed in the filing used for this piece.
The fund is a broad U.S. large-cap portfolio with an ESG overlay, which is why it looks familiar to anyone who owns an S&P 500 index fund, minus a handful of screened-out names.
Why It Is Up DSI’s one-year gain came primarily from concentrated exposure to AI infrastructure and megacap software. NVIDIA sits at the top of the book at 14.44% of net assets, followed by Microsoft at 8.58%. Alphabet’s two share classes together account for roughly 6.67% (Class C) and 5.54% (Class A) of the fund, making Google one of DSI’s largest single-company bets. Alphabet shares themselves returned 102.05% over the same one-year window.
Semiconductor exposure did more heavy lifting. Intel is a 1.27% position, and the stock rocketed 450.05% over the trailing year through July 2, 2026. AMD adds another 1.72%, with Lam Research, Applied Materials, and Marvell rounding out a deep chip bench. Tesla, at 3.21%, is another top-10 name.
The Meta Absence Meta was confirmed absent from DSI’s holdings as of the April 30, 2026 filing. That is a function of the index methodology: the MSCI KLD 400 Social Index applies ESG screens, and Meta has been excluded on governance, privacy, and social-impact grounds. Peers like Alphabet remained in the fund, so the exclusion is deliberate and specific, not a byproduct of sector caps or size limits.

Meta’s disclosed risks include active EU and U.S. regulatory pressure and youth-related litigation with trials scheduled in 2026 that may result in material losses. Those are exactly the categories ESG indices weigh.
Did Skipping Meta Help? This year, yes. Meta shares fell 18.05% in the year ending July 2, 2026, and are down 11.54% year to date. A market-cap-weighted S&P 500 fund with a full Meta slug would have absorbed that drag. DSI did not.
Meta’s operating results remain strong. The company reported Q1 2026 revenue of $56.31 billion, up 33.1% year over year, with EPS of $10.44 versus a $6.66 consensus. Investors have been more focused on the $125 to $145 billion capex plan for 2026 and ongoing regulatory overhang. The point for DSI holders: they missed both the fundamentals and the drawdown.
Concentration and Caveats The tradeoff is concentration. With NVIDIA alone at more than 14% of the fund and the top five names near 36.5% of the portfolio, DSI’s fate is tied closely to AI infrastructure sentiment. The fund is down 1.69% over the trailing month even after its strong year, a reminder that ESG screens do not immunize a portfolio from tech-led selloffs.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and this article is not investment advice. For retirement-focused readers weighing DSI, the useful question is whether an ESG-screened, tech-heavy large-cap portfolio without Meta fits the risk profile already in the account, alongside broader index exposure that may hold the names DSI leaves out.

In a move that underscores the growing convergence of advanced computing hardware and enterprise software platforms, Nvidia (NVDA +0.38%) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR +2.51%) announced a collaboration designed to bring powerful open AI models into highly sensitive, classified environments.
The collaboration targets U.S. government agencies -- where data control, security requirements, and customization are nonnegotiable. By combining open-source flexibility with innovative safeguards, Nvidia and Palantir aim to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) without compromising national security or operational integrity.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
How are Nvidia and Palantir working together? The partnership features Palantir's new intelligence engine, which deploys Nvidia's Nemotron open models within secure, sovereign systems inside customers' own environments. The engine is built on Palantir's Sovereign AI Operating System, which integrates the company's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).
The architecture structures data and operational insights into a flexible framework purpose-built for testing AI and simulating queries. Palantir's Foundry suite manages large-scale data integration, while its Apollo platform handles the orchestration and ongoing management of deployed models across environments.
Nvidia contributes its Nemotron family of open models, which deliver customized AI capabilities while remaining completely inspectable and modifiable. These models run on Nvidia's accelerated computing platforms and are supported by the company's AI Enterprise software suite. The open nature of this infrastructure enables government agencies to deploy models within specialized domains without surrendering control over intellectual property.
The result is an end-to-end solution: Nvidia supplies the raw AI capability and hardware foundation, while Palantir provides the governance, integration, and operational frameworks required in sensitive environments.

Why does this opportunity matter in the age of AI? In today's evolving AI landscape, raw model performance is not the only bottleneck. For government agencies, some of the biggest challenges involve trust, control, and the ability to operate without exposing sensitive information.
Closed models carry the risk of unintended data leakage, while fully open models that lack stringent deployment protocols often lack the security and audit features needed for regulated use. By partnering, Nvidia and Palantir directly address this problem by delivering customizable, high-capability models that remain under the government's complete ownership.
The U.S. government civilian workforce is around 2 million employees across critical sectors such as energy, transportation, healthcare, defense, and financial services. While the business impact of sovereign AI is hard to predict at this stage, Palantir's and Nvidia's focus on one of the largest customer bases -- the public sector -- in regulated AI suggests a sizable and durable market opportunity.
By enabling government agencies to adopt frontier models in isolated computer systems while retaining ownership and the ability to continuously improve them, Palantir and Nvidia are helping to remove operational barriers to broader AI integration. In the long run, open models may bring meaningful cost efficiencies to the public sector given their layered advantages in security and customization. For national security and technological leadership, the ability to deploy flexible AI at scale in sensitive environments represents a meaningful strategic edge for the U.S. government.
Micron Technology (MU +1.18%) just delivered the biggest quarter in its history, as its critical positioning as a leader in a key input for the AI boom has led to soaring revenue and profits, with a memory shortage benefiting its business enormously. And yet the stock sits about 22% below the high near $1,255 it reached in June. Record results on one side of the ledger and a falling share price on the other -- that is the disconnect worth digging into.
So, is the $1.1 trillion memory maker's dip a chance to buy, or a warning that its best days this cycle are already behind it?

A record-shattering quarter Micron's fiscal third quarter of 2026 (the period ended May 28, 2026) was enormous by any measure. Revenue reached a record $41.5 billion, up from $9.3 billion a year earlier and $23.9 billion in the prior quarter. That is more than a quadrupling year over year, and a 74% jump in just three months.
And profits were just as striking. Non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share came in at $25.11, and gross margin hit a company record of about 85%. A year ago, Micron's adjusted earnings were a small fraction of that figure, so this isn't a business inching ahead. It is one sitting in the steepest part of an up cycle.
Driving it all is high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the fast, dense memory stacked alongside the processors inside artificial intelligence (AI) servers. Demand has far outpaced supply, and Micron is one of only three companies in the world that produce this memory at scale. Management guided to fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of about $50 billion and adjusted earnings per share of around $31 -- about 20% higher revenue and 23% higher profit than the record quarter it just posted, pointing to an even bigger quarter directly ahead.

Why the stock fell If the business is running this hot, why are the shares down?
Part of the answer is timing. On July 2, a sell-off swept through chip stocks after cautious commentary on AI demand rattled the group, and Micron slid more than 5% that day as its South Korean rivals fell even harder in Seoul. None of that reflected anything Micron itself reported. It was a change in sentiment, not in the numbers.
The deeper worry is the one that always shadows this industry: memory is cyclical. Prices and profits swing hard, and the same forces powering record margins today can reverse once supply catches up with demand. You only have to look at Micron's own 52-week range -- from about $103 to $1,255 -- to see how violently this stock moves when sentiment shifts. Investors have watched Micron's earnings collapse in past downturns, and no one wants to be the buyer at the top.
That fear is exactly what makes the valuation interesting. Today, Micron trades at about 22 times earnings -- hardly a bargain on the surface. But measured against the earnings the company is on track to produce over the next year, the multiple drops to under 7. That is the kind of number that looks absurdly low until you remember it rests on peak-cycle profits that may not hold. If those earnings eventually fall by half, the multiple quietly doubles, and the "cheap" stock isn't so cheap anymore.
So which read is right? Both contain some truth, and holding those two together is the whole investment case here. The bull case is that this cycle is different, powered by an AI build-out that has locked up memory supply years in advance rather than the usual boom-and-bust driven by personal computers and phones. The bear case is that cyclical is cyclical, and a stock priced for continued records has the most to lose when the cycle finally turns. History has sided with the skeptics often enough that the market refuses to award Micron anything close to a normal earnings multiple, which is precisely why that forward number looks so low.
So, is the dip a buy?
I think it is -- but carefully. Micron's fiscal third-quarter results were extraordinary, the AI memory shortage shows no sign of easing, and a single-digit forward valuation multiple leaves room for the stock to work even if growth cools from here. But because memory earnings can turn quickly, the key is to treat that cyclicality as the central risk, not an afterthought. In short, the stock may be a dip worth buying into as part of a small, measured position, as long as you respect how quickly this industry can turn.
As virtual care evolves, choosing between Hims & Hers Health (HIMS +4.02%) and Teladoc Health (TDOC +0.98%) depends on whether you prefer explosive growth in consumer subscriptions or established, large-scale institutional healthcare partnerships.
Hims & Hers focuses on direct-to-consumer wellness solutions for specific conditions, such as hair loss and weight management. Teladoc provides a comprehensive virtual care platform for employers and health plans. While both lead in digital health, their paths to profitability and market strategies represent very different investment opportunities for 2026.
The case for Hims & Hers HealthHims & Hers operates a direct-to-consumer digital health platform within the broader healthcare stocks category. It provides personalized treatment plans for hair care, mental health, and weight loss, serving nearly 2.6 million subscribers as of Q1 2026. The company is currently scaling its operations through the pending acquisition of Eucalyptus and recently secured a $400 million receivables facility with JPMorgan Chase (JPM +1.43%) to support its pharmacy operations.
In FY 2025, the company reported revenue of nearly $2.3 billion, representing approximately 59.0% growth from the previous fiscal year. It achieved net income of approximately $128.4 million during this period, a slight increase from the prior year. This resulted in a net margin, or the percentage of revenue remaining after all expenses, of roughly 5.5%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 2.1x. This ratio measures a company's total debt against the value of its ownership interest. The current ratio, which measures the ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets, stands at nearly 1.9x.
The case for Teladoc HealthTeladoc serves over 100 million members globally through its Integrated Care and BetterHelp segments. It recently expanded its distribution through a strategic partnership with Walmart (WMT 1.06%) to integrate virtual care into retail platforms. However, the company remains dependent on a limited number of large clients, with its top five customers historically accounting for nearly 19% of total revenue.
During FY 2025, Teladoc reported revenue of approximately $2.5 billion, which was a slight decrease of nearly 1.5% from the prior year. The company recorded a net loss of close to $200.3 million for the fiscal year, though this narrowed significantly from the $1.0 billion net loss recorded in the year prior. This performance led to a negative net margin of roughly 7.9% as the company continues to work toward consistent profitability.
According to the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 0.8x. The current ratio is nearly 2.7x, indicating a strong ability to meet immediate financial obligations.
Risk profile comparisonHims & Hers Health faces significant regulatory pressure regarding compounded GLP-1s and peptides, with the FDA indicating potential restrictions on certain ingredients. The company is also navigating a potential investigation by the DOJ and HHS regarding its business practices. Furthermore, the rapid integration of acquisitions such as Eucalyptus poses operational risks that could undermine the company's ability to maintain its growth trajectory.
Teladoc Health deals with heavy customer concentration, where the loss of a major health plan client could materially damage its financials. The BetterHelp segment has struggled with declining paying users, adding pressure to the company's overall growth. Teladoc also faces intense competition from established giants like Amazon (AMZN +0.61%) and Alphabet, (GOOG +2.44%) (GOOGL +1.87%) which are increasingly entering the virtual care market with their own digital health initiatives.
Valuation comparisonTeladoc Health offers a lower P/S ratio, while Hims & Hers Health carries a higher forward P/E due to its rapid growth.

Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
Consumers have more choices than ever when it comes to healthcare providers, like Hims & Hers and Teladoc. The companies provide different services, but it’s useful to compare them because they represent two different strategies that appeal to investors with different goals.
Like many consumer wellness platforms, Hims & Hers targets personal health needs, particularly those that are repetitive in nature and lend themselves to subscription services, such as sexual health and weight loss. Compounded GLP-1 medications have been an especially lucrative offering for the company. Hims & Hers trades at a premium valuation, which may worry investors due to potential regulatory issues and increasing market competition.
Teladoc provides virtual healthcare visits, connecting patients to a network of medical professionals. The company makes money from employers and healthcare plans that pay subscription fees. Virtual doctor visits skyrocketed during the pandemic, but as clinics and physicians’ practices reopened, the stock plunged. But most of Teladoc’s troubles stem from its acquisition of Livongo and expenses related to its BetterHelp brand. The good news is its very low valuation and turnaround strategy, which is starting to pay off.
Investors who are willing to invest in bargain stocks with the hope of a big future payoff may find Teladoc’s stock compelling. But Hims & Hers remains a steady growth engine, generating predictable revenue from its direct-to-consumer subscription services. For this reason, I’d choose Hims & Hers.

Disclosures I/We may personally own shares in some of the companies mentioned above. However, those positions are not material to either the company or to my/our portfolios.
Some companies create so much value over the long term that their stock price rises into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars, making it hard for retail investors to purchase one full share. Companies can rectify this by executing a stock split, which increases the number of shares in circulation and reduces the price per share by a proportionate amount.
At the close of trading on Wednesday, July 1, cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike (CRWD +2.80%) executed a 4-for-1 stock split, which reduced its share price from $767 to $194. Splits don't change the underlying value of the company, but it's now much more affordable for investors with small portfolios to buy one full share in this cybersecurity leader.
That said, CrowdStrike stock has already soared over 65% this year, and I think its sky-high valuation could limit near-term upside. Here's why investors might want to think twice before buying it.
Image source: Getty Images.
CrowdStrike is a leader in the cybersecurity industry The cybersecurity industry used to be highly fragmented, meaning enterprises had to buy products from multiple vendors to achieve an adequate level of protection. This left gaping holes in their defenses because these programs rarely interacted well with each other. CrowdStrike's Falcon platform is one of the industry's few all-in-one solutions, protecting cloud networks, employee identities, endpoints, and everything in between.
Falcon uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate threat detection and incident response, giving enterprises more time to focus on their core operations. Customers can choose from 33 Falcon modules (products) to build an optimal cybersecurity solution, and with the Flex subscription option, they can use a fixed annual budget to switch among modules as their needs change.

CrowdStrike is working to protect customers adopting AI, as AI creates new attack surfaces for hackers to exploit. Falcon's AI Detection and Response (AIDR) module, for instance, uncovers unauthorized AI agents or software apps running within an enterprise network. It also tracks all inputs and outputs across trusted AI apps, so it can detect anyone trying to orchestrate a breach by entering malicious prompts.
During CrowdStrike's fiscal 2027 first quarter (ended April 30), AIDR experienced an eye-popping 250% increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR) from the prior quarter, indicating rapid adoption.
CrowdStrike is generating record amounts of revenue CrowdStrike had $5.5 billion in total ARR at the end of the first quarter, which was up 24% year over year. Falcon Flex was the key growth driver, with its ARR doubling to $1.9 billion. Simply put, it appears the flexible subscription model is resonating with both new and existing customers.
CrowdStrike's first-quarter results were so strong that management increased its full-year ARR guidance by $50 million to $6.54 billion (at the midpoint of the forecasted range). However, that doesn't necessarily mean investors should rush out and buy its stock right now.
The stock split doesn't make CrowdStrike a buy While the recent stock split made a single share of CrowdStrike more affordable, its valuation is all that really matters. The stock is currently trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 38.7, its highest level since going public in 2019. That makes CrowdStrike substantially more expensive than each of its main rivals in the cybersecurity space.
CRWD PS Ratio data by YCharts
Therefore, I think further upside in CrowdStrike stock will be limited in the near term, so investors looking for gains over the next few months might be left disappointed. However, there might be a case for positive returns in the longer run based on management's 10-year forecast, which suggests the company's ARR could grow to $20 billion by fiscal 2036. The stock is far more attractive on a forward basis if we assume that goal becomes reality.
There could be upside to that ARR figure, because CrowdStrike believes its addressable market in the cybersecurity industry will grow to $325 billion over the long term. Given how fast technologies like AI are moving, I won't be surprised if that opportunity becomes even larger over time.
In summary, investors will have to adopt a very long-term outlook if they want to maximize their chances of earning a positive return on CrowdStrike stock, as its current valuation is almost certainly unsustainable.
