Partner With Us 📣 Together With Money.com Outsmart college costs Ready for next semester? June is a key time to assess how you'll cover college costs. And considering federal aid often isn't enough, you might have to consider private student loans. You're just in time, though—most schools recommend applying about two months before tuition is due. By now, colleges start sending final cost-of-attendance letters, revealing how much you'll need to bridge the gap. Understanding your options now can help ensure you're prepared and avoid last-minute stress. View Money's best student loans list to find lenders with low rates and easy online application. See Money's Top Lenders Nvidia has re-emerged from the ashes. After falling nearly 40% from its all-time high, the stock has surged 65% and is now back at record levels. At the company's annual shareholder meeting, CEO Jensen Huang highlighted robotics as the next major growth frontier beyond AI, calling it a multitrillion-dollar opportunity. In the most recent quarter, Nvidia's automotive and robotics division generated $567M in revenue. While that's just 1% of total sales, it grew 72% YoY, pointing to a long runway ahead. Self-driving cars are expected to be the first major application, as both the vehicles and the AI software that powers them depend on Nvidia's chips. Nvidia's recent rally has propelled it back to the top. The AI giant is now the most valuable company in the world, with a market cap of $3.8T. Microsoft sits just behind at $3.7T, while Apple, whose AI rollout has underwhelmed investors, holds third at $3T. If Nvidia crosses the $4T mark, it would become the first company in history to do so. Are Nike's worst days behind it? The company reported earnings this past week that beat expectations on both revenue and profit, but the bar was low. EPS came in at $0.14, slightly above the $0.13 estimate. Revenue reached $11.10B, topping forecasts of $10.72B. Still, the year-over-year numbers were harsh. EPS fell 86%, and sales dropped 12%. Nike said this was the deepest financial hit expected from its ongoing turnaround strategy, one it had previously guided for. Looking ahead, the company expects declines in both sales and profit to begin leveling out. But new headwinds are emerging. Nike estimates tariffs could carry a gross incremental cost of $1B, raising fresh concerns about the near-term recovery. For the current quarter, the company expects sales to decline in the mid-single digits, in line with analyst expectations. Stock buybacks are one of the most powerful tools companies use to return value to shareholders. By repurchasing their own shares, companies reduce the total number of shares outstanding, boosting earnings per share and often supporting the stock price. Buybacks also signal confidence from management, especially when companies believe their stock is undervalued. Over the last twelve months ending Q1, some of the biggest names in tech have led the charge. Apple bought back $107B worth of stock, more than any other company. Google followed with $62B, and Nvidia came in third with $47B. Markets face constant disruption, but resilience is the common thread. From Black Monday to 9/11, the dot-com crash to COVID, and now the rise of AI and geopolitical tensions, headlines will always continue to pour in. Yet through it all, the Nasdaq has continued to push higher. Even after falling into correction territory earlier this year, it has rebounded and is now up 5% on the year. History shows that while setbacks are inevitable, long-term growth prevails. 📣 Presented By With Vincent Investment picks returning 200%+ AIR Insiders get weekly expert investment picks and exclusive offers and perks from leading private market investing tools and platforms.
