The Motley Fool's Magnificent Seven Reveals February's Must-Buy Stocks [TheGuru=Eung-Yong Jung] U.S. investment publication The Motley Fool has named its top two "Magnificent Seven" (Apple, Microsoft, Google Alphabet, Amazon, Envidia, Meta, Tesla) stocks to buy in February. The list includes Nvidia and Amazon, according to The Motley Fool on Thursday. Nvidia is one of the best-positioned stocks to capitalize on the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), with its stock price surging 239% over the past 12 months. The Mottley Fool believes Nvidia stock remains attractively valued relative to its underlying business growth. Industry experts are raising their annual revenue estimates for the GPU leader over the next few years, even though growth expectations for the company were already very high. The stock's fair valuation remains an attractive buying opportunity, the analysis said. It currently trades at 35 times next year's earnings consensus, which is reasonable given Nvidia's robust growth. In particular, the $1 trillion ($133.5 trillion) data center infrastructure will drive Nvidia's growth. Nvidia generates $32 billion in trailing revenue from the data center segment and has about 80% market share in the AI chip market, which should provide more growth and returns for investors. "Amazon is a very solid company that generates returns to shareholders through multiple revenue streams, including cloud services, advertising, and online retail sales," The Motley Fool said of the company. "While its cloud division, Amazon Web Services, has gotten the most attention from Wall Street, it is the improving growth in e-commerce that is driving the stock higher." The Motley Fool noted Amazon's improving delivery speeds. Last year, Amazon shipped more than 7 billion items on the same or next day, the fastest shipping speeds in its history. The company's focus on speeding up delivery is expected to continue, making it harder for competitors to catch up. Amazon is also focused on strengthening its brand. It launched a new shopping assistant, Rufus, powered by generative AI, to encourage customers to default to Amazon.com instead of Google...
Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund Pledges $70 Billion Annually for Vision 2030 [TheGuru=HongSungHwan Lee] Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), plans to invest KRW 90 trillion annually starting in 2026 to fulfill its Vision 2030. "We plan to increase our annual capital deployment to $70 billion (about 93 trillion won) after 2025," PIF Governor Yasir Osman Alumayan said at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Miami, U.S., on Nov. 22, according to industry sources. Currently, PIFs invest between $40 billion and $50 billion (about $53 trillion and $67 trillion) annually. The fund invests 70 percent of its funds in Saudi Arabia and 20 to 25 percent abroad. "The share of foreign investments has decreased, but the volume has continued to grow," Alumayan said. "PIFs invested $100 billion (about $133 trillion) in each country between 2017 and 2023, creating more than 103,000 jobs," Alumayan said, emphasizing that "we have made a significant contribution to the U.S. economy." The PIF is the world's sixth-largest sovereign wealth fund with $600 billion in assets under management and is a key source of funding for Vision 2030 reforms. It is chaired by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, the country's de facto ruler. Saudi Arabia is implementing Vision 2030, a mid- to long-term development plan to move away from an oil-centric economy. It is a strategic national evolution plan to reduce the Saudi economy's dependence on oil, diversify its economic structure, and promote healthcare, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. The goal is to expand non-oil exports from 16% in 2016 to 50% in 2030...
