How Oracle Is Becoming an AI Giant
Oracle’s blowout Q1 FY2026 results signaled a major transformation into an AI powerhouse. Shares jumped nearly 40%—its biggest one-day gain since 1992—after the company revealed a 359% surge in contracted but not yet recognized revenue and a cloud roadmap driven by artificial-intelligence demand. Oracle is rolling out an AI Database that lets enterprises run large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini directly on their own Oracle data, while rapidly scaling Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and expanding multi-cloud partnerships with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. With massive long-term contracts and dozens of new data centers planned, Oracle is positioning its database expertise and cloud infrastructure at the heart of the AI economy.

RGAIA: Roku Inc. ($ROKU) Investment Case
RGAIA has meaningfully increased their long-held Roku position during the tariff-induced market crash, viewing it as an opportunity to add to a company that has successfully resolved its strategic challenges and is positioned for accelerating growth in Connected TV advertising. The firm believes Roku has emerged stronger after abandoning its failed walled garden strategy in favor of programmatic advertising partnerships with Trade Desk, FreeWheel, and Amazon, while sharing valuable audience data to capture more economics from each ad sold. With over half of U.S. households using Roku devices, platform revenue growth accelerating into the high teens, and management committed to GAAP operating profit by 2026, RGAIA sees a path to U.S. ARPUs “upwards of $100” over time as viewing continues migrating from linear TV to Connected TV. The investment thesis centers on Roku’s dominant market position, nearly 25% of market cap held in net cash, trading at high-teens multiple of 2026 EBITDA, and benefiting from secular streaming trends while competitive moats are strengthened during periods when device price shocks create barriers for rivals seeking entry into Roku households.

$AEO Insider Sales After 41% Rally
Two directors at American Eagle Outfitters ($AEO) have sold their entire vested holdings, according to SEC filings. One sold 9,002 shares at $18.11 for $163K while the other sold 40,000 shares at $18.12 for $725K, both marking 100% reductions and ranking among their largest sales on record. Two other insiders also sold shares in the past 30 days. The insider moves follow a 41% rally in the week leading into the retailer’s latest earnings, a surge fueled in part by buzz around its controversial marketing campaign with Sweeney, raising the question whether this signals a near-term top or simply reflects insiders locking in profits.
