In today's episode, Kyle Grieve and Shawn O'Malley revisit Alphabet nearly two years after Shawn's original pitch, tracing how the company transformed from a cash-rich, buyback-driven business into an aggressive spender on AI infrastructure. They walk through what changed across Search, YouTube, Cloud, and Waymo, and unpack why the market's fears around AI disrupting Google were largely unfounded.

Tesla (TSLA) continues to demonstrate strong demand even though people's opinions on the stock are polarizing, says Landon Swan of LikeFolio. His firm's data shows a strong ramp up in the Mag 7 giant's robotaxi growth even as Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo holds a substantial lead. Landon outlines the "very bullish" green lights this data signals for Tesla and why Uber Technologies (UBER) and Lyft Inc. (LYFT) face a foggy road ahead. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Shares in Lyft Inc. (LYFT) hit the brakes after Guggenheim downgraded the stock to neutral from buy and lowered its price target. George Tsilis explains why the analyst is easing its foot off the gas for Lyft. He then turns to a pair of price target hikes in Alphabet (GOOGL) and Salesforce (CRM), as analysts tied to those stocks see AI momentum benefitting both stocks. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

While that may be true, there may be other reasons why they're all sounding the alarm at this precise moment.

Cheap calls are on the menu as Mark Longo, Andrew "The Rock Lobster" Giovinazzi, and Mike "Uncle Mike" Tosaw dive into unusual options activity in Dave & Buster's (PLAY) and Banco Bradesco (BBD). Is somebody betting on a turnaround in PLAY ahead of earnings? And when it comes to these cheap stocks, are you better off buying the calls or just owning the shares? The crew also breaks down a surprisingly resilient market as Treasury yields climb and traders brace for the Fed. Plus, they examine heavy VIX options activity and the latest options action in NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, META, GOOGL, INTC, MSFT, AMZN and MU. Then Uncle Mike heads to the Strategy Block to explore using covered calls on bond ETFs like IEF to potentially generate additional income.
Alphabet (GOOGL) is "a winner forever" in the tech space, argues LikeFolio's Andy Swan, making the case that the Mag 7 giant's expanding CapEx into data centers is long-term bullish for the company. While Alphabet is spending around $200 billion in 2026 for AI infrastructure, he argues its $500 billion backlog justifies the spending. He uses consumer data gathered by his firm to gauge how demand for cloud adds to the bigger picture.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Chris McMahon says the selling action in tech during Monday's session was "reasonable" following a strong run higher in a lot of names across the space. That said, he sees rallies ahead for Mag 7 names. In Apple (AAPL), Chris believes the company's suite of new tech products led by iPhone Duo adds muscle to the Big Tech giant's growth trajectory. He names Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) as other stocks to watch. As for the calls to slow down AI development, Chris makes the case it will actually increase.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Ali Mogharabi believes Alphabet (GOOGL) has the edge over Meta Platforms (META) when it comes to building a full AI stack with monetization capabilities. That said, Ali makes the case Meta's Muse AI will offer more profit opportunities even as Google Cloud takes market share. Angelo Zino adds that Alphabet is proving its CapEx is turning into viable AI-centric profits. He notes security concerns will serve as a lasting headwind for Meta. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

John Blank remains skeptical on Oracle's (ORCL) substantial weakness into Thursday's earnings even though the stock took a beating from last year's highs above $300. He weighs concerns on bullish expectations pointing to Oracle delivering on its massive backlog while it juggles ballooning CapEx. Another key concern John has: competition from already existing Big Tech giants that include names like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

iOS 27 is the most important announcement Apple (AAPL) announced at its "Surprise and Shine" event, says David Nicholson of Futurum. He makes the case that the update will amplify Siri capabilities in ways investors are underpricing right now. David also weighs on whether using Alphabet's (GOOGL) technology is a plus for its AI strategy or serves as a hinderance to future developments. As for the iPhone Duo, David expects it to sell well but doesn't see it as a massive mover for the Mag 7 stock. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Bond yields are climbing, energy prices are surging, and central banks are being forced to navigate an increasingly complicated inflation picture. Simon and Dan break down what the bond market may be signaling and why higher long-term yields matter even if the Bank of Canada keeps its policy rate unchanged. They discuss the potential impact on Canadian housing, rental construction and mortgage financing, along with why inflation-adjusted home prices can continue falling even when nominal prices stabilize. They also look at the sharp increase in diesel prices and refinery margins, what higher transportation costs could eventually mean for consumers, and whether households have enough room left to absorb another round of price increases. The conversation then turns to monetary policy following the latest Bank of Canada decision and Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, before digging into one of the biggest risks surrounding the AI boom: financing. With hundreds of billions being poured into AI infrastructure, rising borrowing costs and increasingly interconnected financing arrangements could become a major vulnerability. Simon and Dan discuss what happens if AI companies ultimately generate less revenue than expected, whether hyperscalers could be left with excess capacity, and why enormous technological breakthroughs can still coincide with massive capital destruction for investors.

Broadcom (AVGO) beat on the top and bottom line but didn't meet Wall Street's mark for guidance. As Marley explains, the company showed enough strength to reassure investors that the AI trade is accelerating, though customer concentration with companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) present growing risks.

Broadcom (AVGO) is expected to grow 80% year-over-year, says CFRA's Angelo Zino, though he tells investors to watch for entrenchment in the company's TPU business. Growth in that part of Broadcom's business is something he believes will extend its growth runway. Angelo adds that it's important existing customers like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Anthropic spend more with the Big Tech firm down the road.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we do a deep dive on two companies we haven’t covered much before: Royalty Pharma and AppLovin. We start with Royalty Pharma, a unique business that finances pharmaceutical and biotech products in exchange for future royalty streams. We break down how the business model works, why it has similarities to precious metals royalty companies like Franco-Nevada, and how investors should think about portfolio receipts, cash flow, milestone payments, drug approval risk, concentration risk and capital allocation. We then turn to AppLovin, one of the most talked-about stocks in the market. We look at how its AI-powered mobile advertising platform works, why the company generates extremely high margins with minimal capital expenditures, and what makes the business so profitable. We also discuss the risks facing AppLovin, including slowing growth, competition from Meta, Apple and Alphabet, concerns raised by short sellers, and why the market is having such a hard time valuing the company after a massive run-up and sharp drawdown.

Adam Lampe believes there's still plenty of upside potential in markets even as the macro front faces a new test in renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran. In the tech space, he says Alphabet (GOOGL) remains a key AI play "even as the market writes its own obituary" for some aspects of the company. Adam names Broadcom (AVGO) as another key stock to watch. He then turns to the broader energy trade and the need for more power as the AI buildout accelerates. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Marvell (MRVL) will report earnings Thursday evening after Nvidia (NVDA) waved a green flag for the AI trade. Stephen Sopko explains how Marvell serves at a critical juncture of the AI trade and ways it can capitalize on earnings growth as tech evolves. He adds that the company's new partnership with Alphabet (GOOGL) offers a chance to compete with peers like Broadcom (AVGO).
Molly Pieroni turns to two very different stocks that she sees having lots of value in the current stock market. For U-Haul (UHAL), she believes the company's services and staple name gives it enough of a moat to withstand inflation concerns. On Alphabet (GOOGL), Molly sees something similar with the Mag 7 giant's suite of tech products and potential to accelerate off AI innovation.

Nvidia (NVDA) earnings took the attention of Wall Street on Wednesday, though Marvell (MRVL) earnings Thursday will add more color to the full picture for AI chipmakers. Derek Yan says investors are underappreciating the data connectivity side of Marvell's business. That said, he sees the company's recent custom silicone partnership with Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google as a significant tailwind. The dilution from that deal is a headwind Derek sees but one that will pay off in the long-term.
Jeffrey Small sees an elevated risk of a correction in the coming weeks, as he outlines risks on both the macro and micro fronts. As for Nvidia (NVDA) earnings, he expects the company to beat and raise. While the Mag 7 giant has traditionally sold off after the report, Jeffrey sees a rally happening this time around. He offers his bull cases in Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) due to AI anchoring future growth prospects.
Alphabet (GOOGL) "owns the mine, the shovel factory," and just about everything it needs to lead the AI race, argues Tiffany McGhee. However, she says the Mag 7 giant's negative free cash flow raises a yellow flag. Stephanie Walter agrees that Alphabet's breadth is the strongest sticking point for forward momentum, though points to confusion on how it uses AI as the biggest concern.
Charles Schwab's Joe Mazzola gauges AI chip volatility in the U.S. and aboard, noting the South Korean KOSPI's rampant swings as more extreme than those in the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX). He discusses activity "above the surface" of the index level to volatile moves below as investors parse out winners and losers in the space. Marvell's (MRVL) new deal with Alphabet (GOOGL) added to those discussions Wednesday. Joe also touches on Nvidia's (NVDA) stock "decoupling" from the stock market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Dryden Pence returns to the Watch List and walks investors through some of his top stock picks, which includes Nvidia (NVDA), a company he calls a "pivotal chokepoint" in AI. He doesn't see the AI trade slowing down and sees Nvidia capitalizing on every aspect of the industry. He also likes Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL) in the Mag 7. He taps Keysight Technologies (KEYS), Teradyne (TER), and Lumentum (LITE) as strong developing tech firms. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Qwen is the story of Alibaba's (BABA) growth, says Dave Nicholson of Futurum. He adds that it raises "huge price pressure" concerns for Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META) as Alibaba's model threatens to take more market share. Dave examines some of the other biggest names in Chinese tech, including Baidu (BIDU), as investors express concerns of increased CapEx and shrinking ad revenue. He then turns to JD.com (JD) as a more "traditional" company. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Megan Brantley of LikeFolio calls her firm's data on Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud "the most interesting" of the Mag 7 giant's businesses. The 30-day moving average of demand has fallen slightly while Microsoft (MSFT) Azure and Amazon (AMZN) AWS both grew significantly more. That said, Megan points to Alphabet's "tremendous user base" across its business arms offering long-term muscle. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down another busy week of earnings, acquisitions, and market news. We start with Jamieson Wellness, which received a takeover offer from Japan’s Kirin Holdings shortly after we highlighted it as one of our stocks to watch. We discuss the deal premium, why smaller Canadian companies continue to attract acquirers, and what this says about valuations in the Canadian small-cap market. We then look at Air Canada selling a 25% stake in Aeroplan to a consortium led by Blackstone and La Caisse, and why the airline is using the deal to strengthen its balance sheet while keeping control of one of its most valuable assets. From there, we discuss the H&R REIT and GO Residential transaction, Wheaton Precious Metals’ strong quarter, GoEasy’s continued challenges in subprime lending, and Canadian Natural Resources’ huge free cash flow quarter as oil prices remain elevated. We also cover Berkshire Hathaway’s latest results, including its cash pile, stock purchases, buybacks, and new Alphabet position, before wrapping up with Restaurant Brands International and what Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes are saying about the consumer.

"We've seen a strong shift in company selling compute versus buying compute," says Noah Kann. He points out Alphabet (GOOGL) signaling negative free cash flow in earnings and its following stock sell-off as an example. Noah says it's all about the race to create the first "true" AI model that will generate phenomenal profits. Nvidia (NVDA) and several financial firms seek to finance $500 billion to AI infrastructure as a way to ease these woes, giving the Mag 7 giant a "kingmaker" role.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of The Canadian Macro Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down the latest Fed decision and why the bond market may be starting to challenge Kevin Warsh’s inflation message. They discuss the split reaction across the yield curve, with short-term yields moving differently than longer-term yields, and what that could mean for inflation, recession risk and future rate hikes. They also look at Canada’s population data problem and why undercounting temporary residents could distort unemployment, mortgage delinquency trends and the broader read on the Canadian economy. From there, they dig into big tech earnings, including Microsoft and Meta, and why investors are paying closer attention to AI capex, free cash flow, depreciation, and credit default swaps across the hyperscalers. They also discuss Anthropic, open-weight AI models, data privacy concerns, tariffs, copper demand, and what the AI infrastructure build-out could mean for energy and markets.
