Top 3 Autonomous Driving & Robot Stocks For 2026
Jan 11, 2026Automotive and robotics are converging in 2026, and in this update, we analyze the recovery trends and strategy for industry leaders Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Mobileye. We break down Nvidia's deeper push into automotive AI models despite its massive data center focus, and examine Qualcomm's automotive segment, which has now grown to nearly 10% of its total revenue. The major spotlight, however, is on Mobileye's surprise $900 million acquisition of Mentee Robotics, a move that leverages their $1.7 billion cash pile to expand from autonomous driving technology into the emerging humanoid robot race.

How to Invest In Chip Stocks 2026 -- AI Data Center Networking, Optical, and Silicon Photonics
Dec 27, 2025The AI supercycle is expanding beyond just GPUs. In our first episode of the 2026 series, we break down the critical infrastructure that acts as the "roads and freeways" for data: data center networking, optics, and silicon photonics.
Logic chips (like CPUs and GPUs) are the "office" where work gets done, but the network is the "commute" that moves that data. Without advanced cabling, transceivers, and switches, AI clusters simply cannot function.
Find out what companies are involved in this fast growing market and how to approach investing in them.

We analyze why Oracle is selling its chip unit to SoftBank, why "Remaining Performance Obligations" (RPO) are not set in stone revenue, and why we are tax-loss harvesting our position until the cash flow improves.
