AI infrastructure investment is booming, and stellar earnings from two leading companies confirm this trend.

Teradyne $TER

The company makes testing equipment for semiconductors and robotics.

They just beat Q3 revenue with $769.2 million against the expectations of $743.8 million. It now expects growth to pick up from here to 27%, citing AI-related test demand and its impact across its compute, networking and memory segments. It expects revenue for current quarter of between $920 and $1 billion, ahead of the $815.3 million analysts expected.

Celestica $CLS

The company makes connectivity and cloud solutions. The company boosted its outlook and reported a gain in Q3 revenue and profit driven by growing demand for artificial intelligence hyperscalers. The electronics manufacturing services company now expects Q4 revenue of $3.33 billion to $3.58 billion, with adjusted EPS between $1.65 and $1.81. Analysts were expecting revenue of $3.08 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.51.

CFO Mandeep Chawla on an earnings call credited the rise in Celestica’s outlook to the ramping up of a next-generation program for hyperscaler application in AI and machine learning computing power, which is the hardware resources used to train, run, and scale the software. Celestica is seeing its largest and fastest-growing market presence within AI data centers, where it supports high-performance networking and customer computing platforms.

Don’t Discount the Discount King: Ross Stores ($ROST) is on Fire

In a retail landscape where shoppers are pinching pennies amid sticky inflation and economic jitters, your bargain hunts at Ross Stores aren’t just saving you cash—they’re fueling one of the hottest stocks in the sector. $ROST, the off-price apparel and home goods giant, just shattered all-time resistance levels, closing out the week at a record $177.69 on November 26, 2025, before pushing even higher to an intraday peak of $178.19 on Friday. That’s up a blistering 10.7% in the last week alone, marking the company’s best weekly performance ever, and 16.4% year-to-date—outpacing the S&P 500’s modest gains. My target is $195.

A case for Rubrik

Rubrik, Inc. engages in the provision of cloud data management solutions. Its solutions include backup and recovery, VM backup, Microsoft 365, ransom ware recovery, database backup, cloud solutions, and Polaris sonar. Rubrik products include data protection, data threat analytics, data security posture and cyber recovery.

The number of clients contributing more than $100K to recurring revenue increased by 27% and is expected to grow. The company widened its gross margin by several hundred basis points, narrowing its operating losses despite increased marketing and R&D. The company posted an adjusted loss, as expected, but it was far smaller than forecasted.

Key reasons for AMZN lagging the market

$AMZN – Amazon’s stock has been in a bit of a rut lately. Year-to-date, it’s up a modest 4.6%, significantly trailing the S&P 500’s 16.8% gain and most of its “Magnificent Seven” peers. This lack of momentum feels stark, especially after a post-earnings pop in late October. Some context on why the stock is lagging –

1. AI and Infrastructure Capex Overload: The company guided for ~$125 billion in capital expenditures for 2025—up over 40% from prior years—with most tied to AI builds. This has led to a cash crunch: free cash flow plunged in recent quarters, and AWS operating margins dipped to 32.9% in Q2 from 39.5% in Q1 due to higher depreciation, stock-based comp, and forex hits.

2. AWS Growth Lagging Competitors AWS remains Amazon’s profit powerhouse (17% of revenue but ~50% of operating income), but its growth has cooled to 17-20% year-over-year—below Microsoft’s Azure (39%) and Google Cloud (32%) in recent quarters. Q3 brought a rebound to 20% growth (the highest since late 2022), boosted by deals like the $38B, seven-year OpenAI pact for Nvidia GPUs. Still, the perception of Amazon playing catch-up in the AI arms race has fueled selling—especially as the broader tech sector rotates away from hyperscalers amid high valuations.

3. Regulatory Headwinds and Legal Bills Amazon’s facing a barrage of scrutiny that’s eroding confidence. In September, it settled a $2.5B FTC lawsuit over Prime practices, removing some overhang but highlighting ongoing antitrust risks. November brought fresh EU probes under the Digital Markets Act, potentially labeling AWS a “gatekeeper” and slapping on fines or compliance costs.

4. E-Commerce Pressures and Broader Market Sentiment The retail side (74% of revenue) grew a solid 10% in Q3, but it’s under fire from low-cost disruptors like Temu and Shein, who snag 50% of U.S. shoppers with dirt-cheap imports. Amazon’s “Haul” initiative to counter them has flopped so far, though potential tariffs could help. Add in tepid top-line guidance (Q3 missed Street estimates slightly) and a high P/E ratio (35x forward earnings), and the stock’s become a relative value trap versus peers.
