Amazon While Amazon (AMZN 1. 46%) is a leader in e-commerce and cloud computing, what it is doing behind the scenes is the best reason to own the stock
At its cloud computing division, the company is helping customers customize, build, and deploy their own artificial intelligence (AI) models and tools through its Bedrock and SageMaker platforms and then run them on its infrastructure
But it goes beyond that, with Amazon having developed its own custom chips for AI training and inference, giving it a cost advantage
Another behind-the-scenes area where Amazon is a market leader is robotics
The company is the world's largest operator of mobile robots, having just deployed its millionth robot, which is working at one of its fulfillment centers
These robots aren't just moving boxes, they are detecting damaged goods, navigating tight aisles, and even fixing themselves
Meanwhile, the company recently introduced its DeepFleet AI model to coordinate the movement of its entire fleet of robots in order to time and boost throughput
The company is also using AI to create better dery routes and make it easier for drivers to find difficult drop-off locations within large apartment or office complexes
All of this is making Amazon more efficient and should lead to strong earnings growth in the years ahead
Broadcom Broadcom (AVGO 0. 14%) is one of the winners of the AI infrastructure buildout
Its portfolio of networking components -- which consists of Ethernet switches, digital signal cessing, network interface cards, and optical receivers -- is needed for moving data across massive AI clusters
Last quarter, the company saw a 70% jump in AI networking revenue
However, the company's bigger opportunity lies in custom AI chips
Broadcom helped Alphabet design its Tensor cessing Units (TPUs), and now it has multiple customers their own custom AI application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
These chips can offer better efficiency and performance than off-the-shelf graphics cessing units (GPUs), and Broadcom has become the primary partner for several top companies that are creating their own custom AI ASICs
Broadcom estimates that its three customers furthest along in their development could each deploy 1 million AI chip clusters by fiscal 2027, representing a $60 billion to $90 billion total serviceable addressable market
That's a big potential growth opportunity for the company in the years ahead
Meta Platforms Meta Platforms (META -1. 17%) owns one of the largest digital advertising platforms in the world, and AI is making it even more powerful
The company is using its Llama AI model to drive higher engagement across Facebook and Instagram by displaying more relevant content, increasing personalization, and adding interactive features
Meanwhile, the more time users spend on its platform, the more ad inventory it has to sell
At the same time, Meta's new AI tools are imving both ad creativity and targeting, leading to better ad performance
Last quarter, ad impressions rose 5% while average price per ad jumped 10%, demonstrating that its platform is becoming more effective for marketers
In addition, Meta has two new monetization opportunities emerging
The company just started serving ads on its messaging platform, WhatsApp, which boasts more than 3 billion users
At the same time, it's also begun to gradually serve ads to its new social media platform Threads, which had more than 350 million monthly users as of last quarter and is growing quickly
Between the better monetization of its core platforms and new opportunities with WhatsApp and Threads, Meta has a solid growth outlook over the next several years
Philip Morris International Philip Morris International (PM -1. 51%) has become one of the best growth stories in the consumer staples space
While most tobacco companies are facing volume declines due to their U
Exposure, Philip Morris is thriving thanks to Zyn and Iqos
Zyn nicotine pouches are exploding in ity in the U. , with shipments up 53% last quarter
Philip Morris raised its full-year guidance to 800 million to 840 million cans, and that still might be conservative
Internationally, Iqos is gaining strong traction
The company sold more than 37 billion heated tobacco units last quarter, with strong growth in Japan and Europe
Philip Morris recently regained U
Rights to Iqos and is piloting it in Austin, Texas
Once the FDA s its device, a broader U
Best of all, this would not cannibalize existing sales, since Philip Morris doesn't sell cigarettes in the U
What really sets these ducts apart, though, are their unit economics
Zyn is 6 times more fitable than traditional cigarettes, while Iqos is more than twice as fitable
In addition, Philip Morris tends to use local manufacturing, which shields it from any tariffs
With global cigarette sales still holding up outside the U. , Philip Morris is a rare growth stock in a defensive industry
Beauty (ELF -3. 76%) had already disrupted the mass cosmetics market before it agreed to acquire Rhode, Hailey Bieber's skincare and cosmetic brand
While some celebrity deals flop, this one could be transformational
Rhode generated $212 million in sales over the past year with barely any paid advertising and only a few ducts that it sold directly through its website
Rhode was already set to expand into Sephora stores this year, and e
Has strong relationships with retailers Ulta Beauty and Target
Increased distribution is one of the surest ways to increase growth, and e
Will have a long runway of getting Rhode ducts onto retail shelfs
The deal also diversifies e
Into prestige skincare and cosmetics, complementing its mass-market cosmetics base
That should boost margins and expand its reach to a slightly more affluent demographic
While the company will face tariff headwinds, the Rhode deal should help power strong growth in the years ahead
