Now, I’d like to introduce you to International Business Machines-or IBM, as it’s affectionately known by those who have stopped squinting at their 401(k) statements. You’d think that, given its long history of industry influence, IBM would be the toast of Wall Street. But no, it’s been left to quietly profit while everyone is busy chasing the flashy newcomers. And why? Well, IBM’s strategy in the AI realm is simple: solve real problems for real businesses. No need for flashy headlines or piles of venture capital. No sir. IBM has decided to make itself indispensable to those enterprises that need a reliable, cost-effective, and safe way to harness the power of artificial intelligence.

I’ll admit it-I didn’t handle things well at first. My instinct was to buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), because isn’t that what everyone does when the world seems to be falling apart? It’s the financial equivalent of hiding under the bed with a flashlight. But here’s the thing about hiding under beds: eventually, you realize there’s a whole other room out there, full of possibilities you hadn’t considered. In this case, that room turned out to be Ethereum (ETH).

But as any contrarian worth their salt will tell you, there’s often more value in looking at who *isn’t* wearing the crown-yet. Today, we’re going to take a jaunt through three contenders for this dubious honor: ExxonMobil, NNN REIT, and Medtronic. They may not have reached the magical 50-year mark, but they’re close enough to make you wonder if the market has underestimated them-or overestimated them, depending on your point of view.

The Trump administration’s recent easing of export restrictions on high-end AI chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China-framed as a strategic concession to stimulate trade negotiations-has introduced volatility into TMC’s stock. While the administration positions these moves as temporary trade-offs to secure long-term access to China’s rare earth supply, the implication is clear: the perceived scarcity and strategic value of rare earth minerals are being recalibrated in real time. For TMC, a pre-revenue enterprise betting on seabed mining as a counterbalance to Chinese dominance, this recalibration has triggered a reassessment of its risk-reward profile.

Yet, as the ancient scrolls of market wisdom remind us, the future is a realm of infinite possibility. The Guild of Alchemists and Venture Capitalists (a most respectable institution, though its members occasionally confuse “risk” with “reverie”) advises that trailing returns are but shadows of the past. What matters is the horizon, where Pfizer’s potion-makers brew new tinctures of hope.

Ah yes, the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling-legalizing sports betting in states across America-was basically the starting pistol for what can only be described as “Capitalism Olympics.” Now, everything from football to Fortnite has odds attached, and DraftKings (DKNG) is here leading the charge like a caffeinated cheerleader at halftime.

Let’s step back for a second. SoundHound AI has been buzzing ever since it posted those blockbuster quarterly results. The kind of numbers that make you think, “Is this the next Apple?” And yes, while the stock has rocketed recently, it’s still down about 20% for the year-because let’s be honest, who doesn’t like a little drama with their portfolio?

This vigorous climb of Rumble stock appeared to be inspired by the speculative whispers about its foray into the realms of artificial intelligence. Initial propulsion came swiftly, born of an unshackled fervor, yet even as the echoes of the day’s trade came to a conclusion, the rally subsisted, albeit with a softened charge. Here, one discerns an undercurrent of hopes and ambitions speaking of a future touch with AI, disguised beneath the veneers of the market’s ephemeral ebullience.

Nvidia, a manufacturer of silicon, currently stands at $4.3 trillion, a figure seemingly detached from any necessary connection to the production of useful things. Microsoft, a purveyor of software and cloud services, follows at $3.9 trillion, and Apple, the maker of fashionable devices, at $3.1 trillion. These valuations, while remarkable, are not guarantees of enduring strength, and should be regarded with a degree of…caution.
