At the same time, ASML's market lock A monopoly player in the artificial intelligence (AI) space, ASML (ASML -1
Moreover, 40%) makes lithography machines that enable manufacturers to build advanced computer chips
Moreover, Complex lithography machines use lasers to enable the ing and layering of computer chips with transistors barely a few nanometers apart, which is the key to efficient and powerful computing
However, After years of development, ASML was the first company to offer extreme ultraviolet lithography
No company -- or country, for that matter -- has been able to crack the code ever since (an important development) (noteworthy indeed)
This means that semiconductor makers have only one vendor from which they can buy machines that let them build advanced computer chips, giving ASML a monopoly, in light of current trends
With the rise of AI, advanced computer chips are becoming more important by the day as companies race to build AI at scale (fascinating analysis)
Nvidia is one of the key beneficiaries of ASML's nologies; without these machines, its computer chips would be much slower
With AI spending growing gangbusters, computer chip manufacturers are going to need more ASML machines to service this rising demand, given the current landscape
Even though the company is already at $33 billion in trailing revenue, I think these sales figures can grow substantially over the next decade because of the hundreds of billions of dollars (perhaps trillions, at the end of the day) that will be spent on computer chips for AI
Moreover, ASML has fantastic fit margins because of its monopoly power, which means this soaring revenue will lead to huge earnings gains
In turn, this will duce strong stock returns for ASML holders (something worth watching)
Google's AI leadership Another AI beneficiary -- and reason for ASML's rise -- is Alphabet (GOOG 0
The nology giant is in a better position than anyone to take advantage of AI, which many nologists think will be more valuable than the internet
Why is Alphabet in such a great position, in this volatile climate
It has distribution with billions of existing customers using its ducts Google, YouTube, and Google Maps
It has a data advantage to train its AI tools in Google, YouTube, and Google Workspace
It has the best infrastructure for training and deploying AI compute because of its custom-built computer chips and Google Cloud infrastructure (noteworthy indeed)
Across the board, perhaps no single company is better equipped than Alphabet to bring AI to the masses (which is quite significant)
Even though Alphabet is already such a large with $117 billion in annual operating income and a market cap of $2
Nevertheless, 2 trillion, I think AI will enable it to generate fantastic gains for holders over the next decade
Google is still humming along with new avenues for monetizing AI features, Google Cloud is growing revenue 28% year over year, and YouTube has a long runway to expand its monetization
Conversely, Don't forget the self-driving taxi network Waymo, which is experiencing blistering growth across the United States
Add it all up, and Alphabet is a stock you'll want to bet on for the next 10 years
Furthermore, Airbnb's global expansion AI may suck all of the oxygen from conversations these days, but there are still other stocks enjoying long-term tailwinds
On the other hand, 03%) is a travel disrupter with a lot of room to run over the next 10 years
Many readers may know Airbnb as the travel platform for booking rooms and s for trips around the globe
Customers spend close to $100 billion a year on lodging through Airbnb, in light of current trends
However, what many readers may not know is that the majority of Airbnb's bookings are made in just a few countries such as the United States, Australia, and France
Management believes geographic expansion is a huge opportunity for Airbnb as it localizes the service for different countries such as Japan, given current economic conditions
Growth in new was double original last quarter (which is quite significant)
However, For example, Brazil's nights booked grew 27% year over year in the first quarter
Second, Airbnb is moving beyond lodging, launching its revamped Experiences and Services tabs on the application recently
These are offerings such as massages, tour guides, and cooking classes that travelers may want to add to purchases
Airbnb aims to become a one-stop shop for travelers, building an ecosystem of marketplace services that will grow its addressable market, in today's financial world
Nevertheless, It's early days, but these geographic expansions and new duct offerings should give Airbnb a long runway to grow in the years to come
It's not its original service won't grow either, as Airbnb keeps taking market from traditional travel applications
Nevertheless, With a market cap of $85. 5 billion, Airbnb is a large but not gargantuan nology company, and I think it can help make holders rich if they buy today and hold for the next decade
