U.S. stocks edged higher this morning, partly lifted by gains made by banking giants, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C).

However, all three key U.S. indices slipped back into negative territory by Friday afternoon. As of 12:23 PM ET, S&P 500 was negative 1.86 percent, Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.97 percent and Nasdaq Composite fell 2.35 percent.

Some analysts are linking the drop to Commerce Department’s latest data showing U.S. retail sales for September remained nearly unchanged versus the prior month. The data also suggests that U.S. households were reluctant to spend on non-essential items due to record inflation.

Meanwhile, financial stocks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), officially kicked off the Q3 earnings season this morning. While their Q3 net income dropped versus last year, it was better than the consensus forecast. As a result, their shares rose after the opening bell today.

In addition, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) and UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) also gained value on Friday morning after posting their quarterly results.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 26

Shares of Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTNX) climbed to a nearly five-month high this morning following rumors that the Delaware-based cloud computing company is seeking a buyout proposal.

However, Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTNX) shares have lost significant value this year due to a broad sell-off in the tech sector. As of yesterday, the stock was down about 30 percent on a year-to-date basis.

Besides Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTNX), shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) also gained value this morning.

7. QuidelOrtho Corporation (NASDAQ:QDEL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 37

Shares of QuidelOrtho Corporation (NASDAQ:QDEL) slightly moved up in mid-day trading Friday after UBS analyst Elizabeth Garcia improved her ratings for the healthcare products maker from “Sell” to “Neural.”

Garcia was primarily moved by the company’s preliminary results for the third quarter. QuidelOrtho Corporation (NASDAQ:QDEL) recently projected sales growth in the range of $782 – $785 million for Q3, significantly higher than analysts’ average estimate of $650.09 million.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

Published on November 14, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

175 Teslas
107 Amazons
140 Metas
84 Googles
65 Microsofts
And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
