International Business Machines (IBM) stock fell 12% over the past twelve months, while the S&P 500 gained 16.5%. The easy read is that the bad news is already in the price. By management's account, its second quarter of 2026 fell short of expectations mostly because tens of large deals slipped, after clients moved budgets toward servers, storage and memory. So how much could IBM still make you over three years, and what has to go right.

Amazon blocked Meta Platforms (NasdaqGS:META) Muse AI shopping assistant from accessing its marketplace, escalating a clash over AI commerce control. Meta has been positioning Muse as an AI agent that helps users compare products and pricing across multiple online retailers, including Amazon.

But America's contentious, trillion-dollar artificial intelligence infrastructure push relies on components and materials from its no. 1 rival: China. When it comes to rare-earths coatings for chip gear and gas turbines, or optical transceivers that link servers, or a long list...
