- The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights Microsoft, Palantir Technologies, Micron Technology, Lam Research and IonQ
The Zacks analyst blog argues that in 2027 investors will focus more on companies that turn AI, semiconductor and quantum demand into revenue and earnings growth. Gartner forecasts worldwide AI spending of $2.67 trillion in 2026, up 49.5%, and $3.64 trillion in 2027, while semiconductor revenue is projected at $1.56 trillion in 2026 and $1.94 trillion in 2027, including $1.08 trillion from memory. The IMF projects 3.1% global growth in 2026 and cites AI investment as support, while the Federal Reserve raised its federal funds target range to 3.75%-4% in September, citing elevated inflation. SEMI expects 300mm fab equipment spending to rise 14% to $151 billion in 2027. Gartner projects quantum-computing revenue of $1.1 billion in 2027, compared with $869.9 million in 2026, a figure the article describes as a developing market rather than widespread adoption.
- Palantir, Datadog and chip stocks bounce back as Amazon lifts Wall Street
Tech stocks rebounded Monday even as most of Wall Street stayed weak. Palantir (PLTR) and Datadog (DDOG) each gained over 4%, with chip stocks also recovering from last week's losses.

Amazon (AMZN) rose 5% after Morgan Stanley named it a top pick, helping the Nasdaq Composite gain 1.1% and the S&P 500 add 0.4%. CoreWeave (CRWV), however, finished slightly lower at $61.12, just above its July closing low of $60.82, and nearly two-thirds of S&P 500 stocks fell.

- The Nasdaq-100's 6 Best Stocks This Year, and Whether They Can Keep Going
The article reviews the best-performing Nasdaq-100 stocks of 2026 through October 14. Moderna leads with a 667% gain since the end of 2025, driven mainly by encouraging phase 3 results for intismeran autogene in certain melanoma types in mid-August, plus an FDA approval of a flu vaccine and its addition to the Nasdaq-100. Sandisk is up more than 490% year-to-date on AI-driven memory demand that pushed DRAM prices roughly 50% higher recently and about 400% above early 2024 levels, yet its shares have stalled and pulled back from a July peak. Micron, up 220% since the end of 2025 after gaining over 250% last year, has slowed similarly, with the analyst consensus 12-month target of $1,612 still more than 90% above its current price. The author warns that much of this growth may already be priced in, and that repeating Moderna's gain would be a tough act to follow.

Big Tech companies known as hyperscalers may be tempted to issue more shares as interest rates rise and the stock market holds up. This could hurt current shareholders by diluting their ownership.
- Gold and bitcoin were 2026's worst assets — the midterms just gave them a pulse
Gold and bitcoin, the worst-performing major assets of 2026, rallied after the midterm elections as the dollar slipped. Gold futures rose more than 3% back above $4,000 an ounce, bitcoin gained nearly 4% to above $80,000, and silver rose about 5%. The article links the move to the 'debasement trade' and to the Treasury's reset of its borrowing guidance. Even so, gold futures were about 26% below their Jan. 29 record, bitcoin was 38% below its October 2025 peak, and the dollar index was still up nearly 4% this year. Wells Fargo Investment Institute expects a comparatively hawkish Federal Reserve, elevated Treasury yields and favorable U.S. growth to support modest dollar appreciation through 2027.
- 1 Dividend King to Buy Before the New Year and Hold Forever
In October the Nasdaq-100 fell 6.6% as investors rotated from tech into consumer staples, while Colgate-Palmolive (CL) jumped 12.3%, lifting its year-to-date gain to 23.4%. The article points to a dividend-hiking streak spanning 63 years, third-quarter EPS growth of 3% and organic sales growth of 3.6%. Colgate tightened its full-year revenue growth guidance to 4% to 5% from 2% to 6% and now expects gross margin to rise rather than stay flat. Weakness in North America was offset by global markets, and price increases have helped pass higher costs to shoppers. The company is also reportedly considering selling personal care brands such as Irish Spring and Speed Stick.
- Marvell's Deal to Acquire Lumentum Could Be a Game Changer for the Stock
Marvell, up more than 130% in 2026 as of the end of October, has agreed to acquire Lumentum to combine its optical interconnect expertise with Lumentum's laser technology. The companies expect $1 billion in annual synergies, mostly from lower cost of goods sold, and a $17.7 billion annual revenue run rate before synergies. Lumentum shareholders will receive 4.5 Marvell shares per share, valuing Lumentum at an enterprise value of $115 billion, or about $1,132 per share, roughly a 24% premium to its pre-announcement close. Lumentum reported fiscal first-quarter revenue up 137% to $1.26 billion, while Marvell guided current-quarter revenue up 52%. The deal is expected to close in the first half of calendar 2028, and the article views Lumentum as a discounted way to gain exposure to Marvell, although the deal could still fail.
- Qualcomm to report Q4 earnings amid slowing smartphone, PC sales
Qualcomm will report fourth-quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday, as investors look for revenue growth beyond the smartphone market. Bloomberg analyst consensus expects EPS of $2.16 on revenue of $10.12 billion, down from $3.00 and $11.27 billion a year earlier, with the QCT segment forecast to fall 10% to $8.8 billion, largely due to a 24% drop in handset revenue to $5.3 billion. A memory and storage shortage is pushing up device prices and dampening demand, while Intel and AMD expect PC sales to decline, sending Intel shares down nearly 29%. CEO Cristiano Amon expects non-handset sales, including data center revenue, to grow more than 60% in 2027.
- Apple’s Pain Could Be Micron’s Gain as Memory Prices Surge
Rising memory prices are splitting the outlook for two tech giants: Micron is posting record margins as DRAM and NAND prices climb, while Apple pays more for memory in every iPhone and Mac it makes. The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a price target of $962.43 for Micron, about 12.7% above its $853.83 premarket price, and $379.51 for Apple, about 17.4% above $323.31. Apple fell 4.44% before the open after its fiscal Q4 report, with revenue of $114.48 billion up 11.7% and EPS of $2.10 beating the $1.98 estimate; its 47.9% gross margin included roughly one point from tariff refunds. Micron's fiscal Q4 revenue reached $54.23 billion, up 379.3%, with an 87% gross margin, and more than 75% of its fiscal 2027 shipments are already committed. Risks include memory costs pressuring Apple's margins and a possible slowdown in AI spending affecting Micron, with bear-case targets of $325.35 for Apple and $725.64 for Micron.
