It's by George Budwell and featured on finance.yahoo.com. Here are a few quotes on what he says about each of his recommendations. “1. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has established a dominant position as the leader in AI hardware and software, with CEO Jensen Huang recently declaring that the ‘vast majority' of AI inference runs on their platforms. Despite being down 12.3% year to date, Nvidia shares now trade at 26.2 times forward earnings, a historically low multiple that creates an attractive entry point for this wide-moat business. The company roadmap includes Blackwell Ultra arriving later this year, followed by Vera Rubin in 2026 and Rubin Ultra in 2027, providing a clear growth trajectory… While several tech giants are investing in custom chips and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is developing competing GPUs, Nvidia's unified hardware and software ecosystem and expansion into new AI domains position it to maintain market leadership for years to come. This combination of technical leadership, ecosystem lock-in, and strategic expansion into emerging areas makes Nvidia an essential infrastructure provider for the entire AI revolution. 2. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has evolved into a technology powerhouse, with business lines spanning from advertising to cloud computing and AI. Despite being down 12.7% year to date, the search titan's stock trades at just 18.6 times forward earnings, offering compelling value in the ultra-high-growth tech sector. While Google Search remains the primary revenue driver, Alphabet is investing heavily in AI to improve its search capabilities and bolster its competitive positions in cloud computing, agentic AI, and robotics… Though regulatory scrutiny remains a concern regarding its search dominance, the company's diverse capabilities across digital advertising, cloud infrastructure, and AI development position it as a cornerstone technology investment with multiple growth vectors beyond its core search business. So, if you're building an AI-themed portfolio, Alphabet scans as an essential stock to own. 3. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a leader in cloud infrastructure and AI, driven by its Azure platform and strategic partnership with OpenAI. Following a 7.2% year-to-date decline, the tech giant's shares trade at 26.1 times forward earnings, presenting an attractive entry point into this high-growth sector. Microsoft stock, after all, was trading at over 35 times forward earnings around this time last year… With cloud adoption accelerating and AI integration expanding across its product suite, Microsoft is exceptionally well positioned for sustained growth. As a result, this tech stock represents a core play in both cloud infrastructure and large-scale AI deployment, making it a cornerstone holding for AI investors.” End quotes. -------------------------------------------------------------- One additional article link Title: 10 Pro-Life Companies to Invest In Now on insidermonkey.com.

There was a time when Glynis Bryan imagined herself someday retiring from Ryder System, Inc.—a company she entered as an intern and would later exit as a senior vice president. Along the way, she credits the transportation logistics giant with having exposed her to complex M&A transactions and innovative capital structures—two areas that she believes have made a hefty contribution to her post-Ryder success as a CFO. However, the Ryder experience she recalls most fondly was inside the FP&A function at what was her first destination on a finance career journey and one that has served her well at Insight Enterprises, Inc. There, shortly after being appointed CFO in 2007, she energized her team's FP&A ambitions and set a course that would forever transform the technology services company's notion of strategic finance. "I think of the FP&A function as being the road map within the finance function that helps each one of the senior leaders across the organization by supplying them with tools and actionable data that they can use to see where the business is going," she observes. Meanwhile, in 2012, Insight overhauled its internal systems, establishing a single platform from which to integrate acquisitions and satisfy its appetite for growth and helping the company to better unite its North American and Asia-Pacific operations. It's a platform that Bryan has gotten to know well as she routinely weighs the obstacles and advantages that future merger partners may bestow.  NOW SUBSCRIBE: The Quarterly Digest of CFO Strategic Insight http://bit.ly/2Wfv291 (50 CFO Profiles Every Issue).
