US Stocks prediction

ConocoPhillips and MPLX aren’t just sitting around waiting for the oil barrel to fill itself up. No, they’ve got ambitious plans-a veritable feast of expansion projects lined up through 2029. This forward-thinking approach, coupled with their knack for churning out dividends like a well-oiled machine, makes them the sorts of stocks you’ll want to snatch up, tuck in your portfolio, and forget about until your grandchildren are running their own hedge funds.

Picture this: Oracle stock leaping forward an eye-popping 88% this year as of late September, riding the tidal wave of their rock-solid revenue and earnings growth. With their market cap currently parked at around $877 billion, they’re just a hair’s breadth-14%-from hitting that elusive trillion-dollar mark. And it’s not just the numbers; it’s the storm of demand fueling this relentless engine of growth.

Quantum computers? They’re not bits and bytes-they’re qubits, dancing in a quantum waltz of probabilities. These machines promise to crack climate change, invent miracle drugs, and maybe even explain why your ex left you. But here’s the catch: we’re still building the damn rollercoaster while riding it blindfolded. And yet, here we are-$200 later, betting on tomorrow’s science fiction.

Behold! The kingdom’s “vault-locked loot” (a curious metric called TVL by earthlings) has ballooned 198% in a single year, now guarding $38.5 billion in glittering riches. But does this hoard herald a dragon’s hoard of future gains, or hide a rascal’s trick beneath its scales? Let’s peer closer, shall we?

This morning’s announcement, though wrapped in the familiar trappings of corporate rhetoric, was no mere flourish. Marvell’s board, ever eager to make its voice heard in the cacophony of Wall Street, granted approval for a new share buyback program. To the untrained eye, this might have appeared as a simple gesture, an act of faith from a company that, at least on paper, was thriving. Yet, there is something deeply philosophical about such moves. The notion of a $5 billion buyback, coming as it did after the previous quarter’s $2 billion buyback authorization, seemed to suggest not only a commitment to shareholder value, but a quiet acknowledgment of the fleeting nature of such value. After all, in a market driven by such intangible forces, who can say for certain that the stock’s worth will not dip again into the depths of uncertainty?

Let’s break it down. Of the three analyst moves on Iren, one was a brand-new coverage initiation. Oh, and not by just anyone-no, this came from Arete, a researcher who’s apparently now tracking three Bitcoin mining companies, including Iren. Why Bitcoin miners? Who knows! But they’re tracking them, so that’s something. Oh, and they’ve decided to give Iren a target of $78 per share. Not bad, right? Especially for a company that’s, you know, *pivoting* into data centers. Not to mention, it just upgraded its Bitcoin mining hardware. You’d think they’d give themselves a pat on the back, but nah, let’s just keep going. I mean, they’re self-funding their own data center construction. Now, that’s a move-like when you show up to a party with your own food because you don’t trust the snacks the host picked out. Bold choice.

That announcement-a bid to acquire Prepared, an AI-fueled 911 response platform-was met with the ambivalence of a scholar who discovers an apocryphal manuscript. Investors, ever the cartographers of uncertainty, mapped this acquisition as either a key to a new quadrant of the market or a trapdoor into overreach.

Heading into its fiscal fourth-quarter 2025 report, the soothsayers of Wall Street predicted $2.86 per share profits on $11.2 billion in revenue. Micron, however, summoned $3.03 per share (adjusted for peculiar alchemical expenses) during the period ending Aug. 28, with sales materializing at $11.3 billion. Management even promised sequential growth in both coin and glory for fiscal Q1 2026. And yet, here we are.

As the dust settled, one couldn’t help but notice that more than $1.6 billion worth of crypto positions were swiftly liquidated in the span of a mere 24 hours – a record-breaking affair for this year, according to the ever-watchful folks at CoinGlass. Ethereum bore the brunt of this financial tempest, with over $500 million evaporating like dew under a mounting sun. It serves as a stark reminder of how the pursuit of leverage can lead even the most prudent investor down a slippery slope. The market’s wayward winds swept away those who had borrowed heavily in hopes of a sunnier day, closing their positions with all the gentility of a bull in a china shop.

Oil prices, ever the barometer of global unease, surged again-though from a low base-as NATO and Russia’s tenuous truce frayed. The tempest this time, however, came not from the Kremlin but from a familiar figure: President Donald Trump, whose words now carried the weight of a storm. Where once he had whispered to the bear, today he roared.
