Forget the "Magnificent Seven." It's Time to Start Talking About the "Ten Titans."

Key Points The "Magnificent Seven" is catchy, but it's missing key companies. Broadcom and Oracle are proven tech winners with new opportunities. After a few stumbles, Netflix has blossomed into the company many hoped it would one day become. 10 stocks we like better than Oracle › Investors love categorizing companies. There are official distinctions, like S&P 500 components versus those in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, but there are also more nuanced groupings, like growth stocks, value stocks, dividend stocks, etc. Sometimes, investors will get a little whimsical and come up with catchy names to describe red-hot, winning stocks. The "Nifty Fifty" was a popular term for large-cap stocks in the 1960s and 1970s. Jim Cramer used "FANG" to describe Facebook (now Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META)), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), and Google (now Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL)). It eventually expanded to "FAANG" to include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The "Magnificent Seven" was coined by Bank of America analyst Michael Hartnett to describe the largest seven technology-focused companies: Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). But the Magnificent Seven has its problems, which is why I'm introducing the "Ten Titans" -- the Magnificent Seven plus Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and Netflix. Here's why the Ten Titans is a better representation of top growth stocks than the Magnificent Seven. The Broadcom blunder The biggest flaw of the Magnificent Seven is that it doesn't include Broadcom. It's up about 450% in the last three years, which has pole-vaulted its market cap well over $1 trillion. Based on market cap, it deserves to be included in the Magnificent Seven over Tesla. However, some folks may prefer the diversification that Tesla brings to the table with electric vehicles, renewable energy, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI). And some may argue that it's redundant to include both Nvidia and Broadcom since they're both chip giants, but Broadcom has a much different business than Nvidia. Nvidia generates the vast majority of its profits by selling graphics processing units and associated hardware and software to data centers. Like Nvidia, Broadcom makes AI chips, and AI is its fastest-growing segment, making up around 30% of total revenue in its latest quarter. But the bulk of Broadcom's business is not directly tied to AI. End markets include networking, cybersecurity, storage, broadband, wireless, infrastructure software, and more. In fact, Broadcom was considered a dividend-paying value stock before its recent boom -- similar to another high-yield semiconductor stalwart, Texas Instruments. Another "value" stock turned growth stock Not long ago, Oracle was seen more as a mature tech stock with an entrenched legacy business and limited upside potential. Investors were more excited about hotter software stocks like Salesforce, Intuit, ServiceNow, and Palo Alto Networks. However, Oracle has completely transformed its business, integrating cloud infrastructure as a complement to its foothold in database software and enterprise applications. Oracle has carved out a growing role in the cloud that is uniquely different from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Oracle's hybrid and multicloud strategy integrates with the major cloud players, which allows customers to use Oracle's database advantages even if they're with another cloud provider. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers some advantages over AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including lower prices in some cases, more AI tools, and vertical integration with the company's other database services. Some drawbacks of OCI are that it has a smaller ecosystem with fewer preset tools for developers. However, Oracle is growing faster than the major players with a 27% year-over-year cloud revenue increase in its most recent quarter, including a 52% rise in cloud infrastructure revenue. Like Broadcom, Oracle is a great addition to the Ten Titans because it's a highly diversified company that's playing a growing role in AI. FAANG's anchor is a worthy addition to the Ten Titans Netflix was an integral part of FANG and FAANG, but it fell out of favor for a while as it underperformed the broad market. The streaming company is now worth around half a trillion dollars, which has catapulted it to the top 20 S&P 500 companies by market cap. Netflix has pulled back from its recent highs, but the stock has still crushed the S&P 500 year to date. A big reason for its rebound in recent years is its improved cost management and more purposeful spending. A major problem with the business in the past was the boom-and-bust nature of its earnings. The company would steadily grow subscribers, but it would overspend on content and have dry spells without major success. As you can see in the following chart, Netflix spent most of the 2010s being inconsistently profitable. But over the last five years, profits have skyrocketed and its operating margin continues to climb in lockstep with revenue. The company has revolutionized entertainment and remains the gold standard in streaming, despite tons of new competition. A lot of that success comes down to its ability to balance the quantity and quality of content it produces. It's time to add some all-stars to the team Expanding the Magnificent Seven to the Ten Titans corrects for the blatant error of Broadcom's omission and includes massively important growth stocks in Oracle and Netflix. Over the next three to five years, it wouldn't be surprising if all of the Titans were worth over $1 trillion due to their industry leadership and runways for growth. With a combined weighting of 37.7% of the S&P 500, the Ten Titans offer investors a useful way to track the top growth stocks that can really move the major indexes and keep tabs on prevailing themes that are driving the market.

C3 AI Restructures Sales and Services Organizations to Accelerate Growth

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 8, 2025-- C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software company, in the course of Q1, has restructured its global sales and services organization, including new leadership. That restructuring is now complete. New leadership includes: Rob Schilling joins C3 AI as EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for all Sales, customer-facing teams, and Alliances, effective June 16, 2025. Schilling is a seasoned enterprise application sales leader. His prior experience includes SVP, ERP, Oracle, responsible for a billion-dollar cloud application business; GVP, Nokia Software; CEO, SpaceTime; SVP, SAP Americas; Chief Customer Officer, SAP Japan; and SVP of Sales at Siebel Systems. He brings almost a quarter century of senior enterprise sales leadership to lead the C3 AI go-to-market effort globally. John Kitchingman joins C3 AI as General Manager, EMEA, effective June 30, 2025. He previously served as SVP, Global Customer Engagement at Dassault Systèmes and VP and Global Sales Leader, IBM Global Services. Jeff Cosseboom joins C3 AI as Group Vice President, North America East Sales. He brings over three decades of enterprise sales experience as Chief Revenue Officer, Palladin Technologies; Area VP, Salesforce-Vlocity; VP, SAP; and GVP, Siebel Systems/Oracle. Lars Farnstrom joins C3 AI as Group Vice President, Nordics. He is also an exceptionally experienced technology leader, including as CEO, VP, Nordics, C3 AI; CEO, Raw Lab; VP, Sales Northern Europe, C3 AI; and Group Director, CRM, Siebel Systems. Alex Amato, Group Vice President of Customer Services and an executive with C3 AI for nine years, has been promoted to assume responsibility for all professional services and customer service operations, reporting to Rob Schilling. In the course of Q1, he has restructured the services organization to ensure a consistent and universal focus on rapid and significant value realization for all C3 AI engagements. 'The good news is we have completely restructured the sales and services organization, including new and highly experienced leadership across the board to ensure a return to accelerating growth and increased customer success at C3 AI. The bad news is that sales results in Q1 were completely unacceptable. Having given this a lot of thought, I attribute this to two factors. One: It is clear that in the short term, the reorganization with new leadership had a disruptive effect. Two: As we have previously announced, I have had a number of health issues in the past six months including multiple hospitalizations and vision impairment. Unfortunately, dealing with these health issues prevented me from participating in the sales process as actively as I have in the past. With the benefit of hindsight, it is now apparent that my active participation in the sales process may have had a greater impact than I previously thought. That being said, as we enter Q2, we have new leadership in place, a restructuring completed, an extraordinarily large market opportunity, a superlative product offering, and exceptional levels of customer satisfaction, and I am confident the company is positioned to accelerate going forward,' said Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO, C3 AI. 'I am pleased to also report that, but for vision impairment, my health has improved dramatically. I am feeling strong and am fully engaged. As you also know, we are actively engaged in an executive search for a successor CEO at C3 AI and are moving expeditiously to identify some excellent candidates in short order.'
