WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Individuals and businesses have kept spending on insurance policies even in a tough macroeconomic environment, to safeguard against risks, even though premiums have gone up. Brokers' performance is closely related to the insurance industry's numbers, as their commissions are tied to the premiums insurers charge.

New York-based Marsh McLennan caters to clients in over 100 countries across four businesses — Marsh, Guy Carpenter, Mercer and Oliver Wyman . Shares of the company had fallen marginally in 2025, as of last close. BY THE NUMBERS Revenue in Marsh McLennan's risk and insurance services business came in at $4.6 billion, up 15% from a year earlier. Its consulting arm reported a 7% revenue rise. Net income attributable to Marsh McLennan came in at $1.21 billion, or $2.45 per share, in the three months ended June 30, compared with $1.13 billion, or $2.27 per share, in the year-ago period.

Looking for AI Chip Stocks Beyond Nvidia? Goldman Sachs Says These 2 Names Deserve a Look

The AI boom has been generating hype and headlines for several years now, and deservedly so. It's transforming the way businesses operate, reshaping everything from data crunching and decision-making to customer service and content generation. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. AI might exist in a data cloud, but it requires hardware. The AI companies need data centers, high-performance computers, and advanced networking – and all of that requires silicon semiconductors, many of them custom-designed. Chip giant Nvidia, with its $4 trillion market cap, is the 800-pound gorilla in this room, but there are other names that investors can look to for profits. Covering the fields of tech, AI, and semiconductors, Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider points out the contours of the field and its opportunities, writing: 'We believe the AI investment cycle is in a state of transition, with over $350bn in CapEx spent on AI infrastructure. Although monetization has been elusive, we see early signs of incremental revenue and much clearer evidence of cost takeout to justify these investments – and we believe AI CapEx can sustain growth from current levels.' Schneider follows on from these comments by tagging two chip names that deserve a closer look. It doesn't hurt that both stocks also carry Strong Buy ratings from the broader Street, according to the TipRanks database. Let's take a closer look. Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) The first stock on our radar here is Cadence Design, a high-tech firm from San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Cadence provides the technology and support necessary for some of our world's most important industries to thrive. The company uses its Intelligent Design System to develop its products and software, and its services are in high demand everywhere from the chip industry to the pharmaceutical sector. Cadence's solutions include 3D-IC design, 5G systems, Artificial Intelligence and generative AI, an extensive cloud portfolio, data center design, multiphysics systems analysis – it's a long list, as Cadence has connections across the tech world. Its products and tech are used in a wide range of essential secondary products, including silicon chips, integrated circuit boards – items that are used everywhere from the aerospace sector to the life sciences, and including plenty of AI applications. It's not just that Cadence's own work is applicable to AI, but also that the company uses AI, and AI-powered applications, to support its work and develop its product lines. The company uses agentic AI to help engineers meet the challenges presented by the latest chip designs, and its generative AI platform has the potential to transform semiconductor chip design. Finally, Cadence's AI IP platform provides comprehensive solutions in the worlds of IP and software. When we look ahead, we see that Cadence's contribution to chip design gives the company a strong foundation from which to grow. Hyperscale AI and cloud providers – think Amazon, Google, and Microsoft – have a definite need for custom chips that are designed to handle high volumes at lower cost, and Cadence is well-placed to fill that niche. Turning to Cadence's financial performance, we find that in 1Q25, at the bottom line, the non-GAAP EPS of $1.57 was up 40 cents per share from 1Q24 and was 7 cents higher than the forecast. Revenue, at $1.24 billion, was up 23% year-over-year and met Street expectations. Cadence finished Q1 with a work backlog of $6.4 billion. For Goldman's Schneider, the key points here are the quality of Cadence's business and the high potential of the company to continue growing. He says of this AI-adjacent tech firm, 'We see Cadence as one of the most high-quality compounding businesses in our coverage, with exposure to multiple drivers of growth throughout the industry. We see long-term growth driven by the diffusion of custom chip design across a broader range of customers with an outsized need for IP…' Based on this stance, Schneider rates CDNS as a Buy, which he complements with a $380 price target that suggests a one-year upside potential to the stock of 19.5%. (To watch Schneider's track record, click here) Cadence has a Strong Buy consensus rating from the Street's analysts, based on 15 recent reviews which break down 14 to 1 in favor of Buy over Hold. The shares are priced at $318.04 and their $338.64 average price target implies a 6.5% gain for the next 12 months. (See CDNS stock forecast) Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) Next up is a company more directly tied to the field of AI chips. Broadcom is a giant of the chip industry; with its market cap of $1.30 trillion, it's the second-largest chip maker on the global scene – and the eighth-largest publicly traded company on Wall Street. While Broadcom's business has been built on a wide variety of products and product lines, from cable modems to fiber optics to wireless connectivity, the company's current strengths include AI-capable chips and application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs. These are a key technology in the AI field and also underlie the functioning of cloud-based systems. ASICs are custom-made to the buyer's/user's specifications, which makes them more efficient in terms of power consumption and processing speed. In AI, cloud, and data center applications, these are vital advantages. Broadcom is known as a solid provider of silicon chips and other technology in the data center world, able to provide, at any scale, the hardware needed to build out high-performance server stacks and to develop and maintain high-speed connectivity. The company is also working on the next generation of AI-capable technologies, from connectivity solutions to custom accelerators, that will revolutionize the AI industry in ways that are still just in the outline stage. Broadcom's development work is part of a coherent strategy that will keep the company relevant as a technology supplier as the AI sector evolves. The company's current success, and its sheer scale, give it a sound foundation for continued leadership in the field. Broadcom's leading position in data center switching, and its reputation for high-quality, high-speed networking, are both attractive to the AI industry's hyperscalers, and the company can leverage its own scale to meet the needs of its largest customers. In the recently reported fiscal 2Q25, Broadcom generated $15 billion in total revenue. This figure was up 20% from fiscal 2Q24, and it beat the forecast by $30 million. The company's earnings came to $1.58 per share by non-GAAP measures, a penny better than had been estimated. Management attributed $4.4 billion of the quarterly revenue to AI, a subtotal that was up 46% year-over-year. The gain in AI revenue was supported by strong demand for AI networking. Scale and profitability are valuable assets for any company, especially one targeting an industry experiencing the powerful growth that currently characterizes AI. This caught the attention of Goldman Sachs, and when we check in again with analyst Schneider, we find him upbeat on AVGO, writing, 'We believe the company will leverage its leadership in enterprise networking silicon to drive outsized share in custom silicon for hyperscalers, with AI likely comprising over 40% of revenue by 2026. Broadcom also continues to generate steady, growing profitability in its infrastructure software business. We see the stock's premium valuation as justified by the visibility provided by sole-sourcing at silicon accounts and the mission-critical nature of its software portfolio.' Schneider puts a Buy rating on AVGO, and his price target of $315 implies that the stock will gain 12% by this time next year. Broadcom has picked up 30 recent analyst reviews, and these have a lopsided split of 28 Buys to 2 Holds to support the Strong Buy consensus rating. Shares in AVGO are currently trading for $280.94, and their $300.96 average price target points toward a one-year gain of 7%.
