- Salesforce Is Betting Big on AI. The Payoff Could Be Bigger Than Investors Expect
24/7 Wall St. sets a $346.52 price target for Salesforce (CRM) over the next 12 months, versus shares at $242.92 (about 42.6% upside), and carries a buy rating at 90% confidence. The article argues that Agentforce ARR above $1.5 billion, up over 240%, and a buyback that reduces the share count are not fully reflected in the stock price. In fiscal Q2 2027, revenue rose 10.8% to $11.345 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $5.90 beat estimates, though about $2.53 per share came from strategic investment gains, and operating income was flat at $2.331 billion. Risks include acquisition costs such as the Braze deal, rising restructuring charges, free cash flow growth of only about 4-5%, and a 37.42% drop in shareholders' equity after the debt-funded buyback. The article puts its bull case at $387.36 and its bear case at $282.

- What's Wrong With On Holding Stock?
On Holding shares are down about 23% this year after second-quarter sales missed Wall Street estimates, and the stock suffered its largest one-day drop in the company's history. The company says the slowdown is intentional, as it is limiting wholesale shipments to promote full-price sales and make room for new products. In its latest quarter, direct-to-consumer sales rose 34.3%, gross margin widened to 65.4% and apparel net sales grew 56.2%, while management expects constant-currency sales growth in the low-20% range for 2026. The stock trades at about 21 times trailing earnings, below the analysts' consensus price target of $43.55, and the company recently authorized a $1 billion share buyback. The author says there is nothing inherently wrong with On Holding and that investors should be patient as growth may slow while the company works through its slowdown.

The article notes Meta raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $135–145 billion, while third-quarter revenue grew 26% to $64.6 billion and capex reached $34.91 billion, pushing free cash flow negative.
- The AI Bottleneck Takes Many Forms. These 7 Stocks Will Benefit.
AI growth is hitting bottlenecks in chips, memory, power, connectivity and cooling, and the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index fell more than 5% in the past week. The article highlights seven companies tackling these constraints. Nvidia still faces GPU supply limits as it ramps Blackwell and Vera Rubin, while Micron, a high-bandwidth memory maker, reported fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 revenue of $54.23 billion versus $11.32 billion a year earlier. Lumentum guided to revenue of $1.225 billion to $1.275 billion for the next quarter, Coherent's data center and communications segment hit $1.615 billion, and GE Vernova reported $24.2 billion in orders.

- Same Playbook, Different Silicon: Broadcom Holds the Throne, Marvell Plays the AMD Challenger.

Custom XPUs supplied 73% of its AI revenue, while gross margin slipped to 75% and operating margin reached 67.9%.

- Arm’s Ready-Made Blueprints: The Blueprint Attack on Marvell’s Challenger Crown
Arm reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $1.29 billion, up 22%, and says AGI CPU demand now exceeds $2 billion, though locked-in supply covers only the initial $1 billion. Marvell posted record revenue of $2.739 billion, up 37%, with data center sales at 79% of the total. The article argues Arm's ready-made compute subsystems and AGI CPU could let hyperscalers skip some custom design work that Marvell sells, and Arm may accept thinner margins, with first-generation AGI CPU gross margin expected in the high 30% range, maybe low 40s, versus Marvell's 58.9% non-GAAP gross margin. Marvell's non-GAAP operating margin rose to 36.6% from 34.8%, while Arm trades at about 248 times earnings. Over the past month, Arm fell 36.94% and Marvell lost 14.8%.

The article cites a trailing P/E of 14, debt-to-equity of 0.14, and a 5% quarterly dividend increase to $0.22, and compares these with higher P/E ratios at Microsoft and Amazon.
