Prediction: 3 Stocks That'll Be Worth More Than Microsoft 10 Years From Now
Nvidia could leap past Microsoft sooner rather than later. Smart glasses could provide a much-needed spark for Apple. Amazon could benefit from Microsoft's seemingly deteriorating relationship with OpenAI. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) first became the world's biggest company based on market cap in September 1998. It stayed No. 1 for less than 18 months before being dethroned. But the software giant has clawed its way back to the top in 2025. I don't think Microsoft's reign will last very long this time, either. What's more, I predict that the following three stocks will be worth more than Microsoft 10 years from now. I suspect Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) will move past Microsoft quite soon. It could even happen in a matter of days or weeks. Nvidia is certainly in the best position to knock Microsoft off its perch with its market cap already topping $3.3 trillion. What will it take for Nvidia to take the top spot? Not much. Any hiccup with Microsoft's business could be enough to enable Nvidia to regain the position it briefly held last year as the world's largest company based on market cap. However, I don't think Microsoft has to stumble for it to happen. Nvidia is poised to be the biggest beneficiary of several artificial intelligence (AI) trends, notably including the rapid adoption of AI agents that can reason. These AI agents require enormous computing power. Nvidia's GPUs remain the most powerful chips on the market for AI inference used by AI agents. It won't surprise me in the least if Nvidia becomes the first company with a market cap of $5 trillion. Sure, the restrictions on AI chip exports to China will hurt its growth to some extent. However, I don't think this headwind will keep Nvidia from becoming much larger over the next decade. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) dominated as the world's largest company throughout most of the last 10 years. Microsoft was its main rival for the No. 1 position during this period. Although Apple's market cap is now smaller than both Microsoft's and Nvidia's, I think the iPhone maker won't be in third place or lower by 2035. The big question hovering over Apple is: What's the next big breakthrough product for the company? Apple Watch has been successful, but it isn't in the same league as the iPhone. Apple's Vision Pro mixed-reality headset has been a commercial disappointment. Its generative AI functionality, branded as Apple Intelligence, hasn't provided the spark that many investors hoped it would, either. I think smart glasses just might be the much-anticipated next huge hit for Apple. Rumors are circulating that the company plans to launch its first AI-enhanced glasses as early as late 2026. These glasses will compete against Meta Platforms Ray-Ban AI glasses. But Apple is also reportedly working on smart glasses that support augmented reality (AR). This could be the real game-changer for the company. If Tim Cook and his team can leverage some of the technology used on Vision Pro, Apple just might be able to launch smart glasses that become nearly as must-have as the iPhone years ago. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has never been the world's largest company. It doesn't necessarily have to be to leap past Microsoft over the next 10 years, though. It wasn't too long ago that I thought Microsoft would be able to retain its market cap advantage over Amazon for years to come. Why have I changed my mind? Mainly because I suspect that Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be able to hold on to its leadership in the cloud services market more strongly than I anticipated in the past. Part of my shifting opinion is due to Microsoft's seemingly deteriorating relationship with OpenAI. Without OpenAI's ChatGPT, I don't believe Microsoft would claim the largest market cap today. The less tight the bond between the two companies, the less confidence I have that Microsoft Azure will be able to narrow the market share gap with AWS. Another reason why I'm more optimistic about Amazon now, though, is that the company continues to fire on all cylinders. Its AI initiatives are impressive, including the development of its own AI chips. The company's focus on the bottom line is paying off. Amazon is also expanding into new businesses, with the recent launch of its Project Kuiper satellites that will provide global internet access serving as a great example. Granted, Amazon must grow significantly faster than Microsoft over the next 10 years for its market cap to become larger. However, I predict that's exactly what will happen.

Nintendo's Switch 2 Lures Fans to Biggest Gadget Launch in Years
(Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co. fans from Tokyo to Manhattan stood in line for hours to be among the first to get a Switch 2, fueling one of the biggest global gadget debuts since the iPhone launches of yesteryear. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The Buffalo Architect Fighting for Women in Design Almost 20 hours before the console's sale, customers lined up at 4:30 a.m. outside GameStop Corp.'s Union Square location in New York City, while another queue snaked in front of the Nintendo store uptown. In Tokyo, businessmen cleared their schedules to await the launch of the $450 game machine. At the front of the line to the Nintendo New York outpost was Christopher Evangelista, 22, known online as Chickendog. He'd made pilgrimages to the location since April to secure its first Switch 2. Evangelista cheered on his fellow gamers while livestreaming the occasion. 'I never got to experience a console launch. I never got to camp out,' he said, describing months subsisting on pizza and excitement. Inside, Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang chatted with Nintendo of America Inc. President Doug Bowser while waiting for the midnight launch. Yang, who'd spent 165 hours playing the latest Zelda game on the original Switch, said, 'I'm going to mainline Mario Kart.' Behind the celebratory mood is a watershed moment for the industry, as the Switch 2 may steer business decisions by partners and competitors for years to come. At a time of thinning margins and exploding budgets for new game productions, a popular new console may provide a counterbalance to the increasing dominance of a handful of live-service games. Nintendo's shares slipped 2.4% in Tokyo Thursday. That's despite high demand, with Japanese retailers asking Nintendo to ship as many units as possible, while in the US, GameStop and Best Buy Co. said they expect the Switch 2 to sell out on launch day. The long-awaited Switch 2 succeeds an eight-year-old global hit in the original Switch, which pioneered a hybrid design that allows play both at home on a TV and on the move. In Tokyo, Koji Takahashi said he'd queued for four hours to be first in line at a Bi Camera Inc. store in the Ikebukuro district. 'It was worth it,' the 54-year-old said. Having grown up with Nintendo's hanafuda playing cards and the Game & Watch handheld device, Takahashi had entered pre-sale lotteries at ten stores to secure a Switch 2. 'I want to play Mario Kart with my family,' he said. Nintendo needs a strong debut to generate momentum and confidence in the product's future — something that the pre-order demand suggests is a given. A splashy first-day in-store debut around the world is a central prong of that strategy. 'The Switch 2 is all that Nintendo has, so failure is not an option,' industry consultancy Kantan Games Inc. Chief Executive Officer Serkan Toto said. The Kyoto-based company is entering uncharted waters with the higher $450 price tag. President Shuntaro Furukawa has said the company may have to raise that even higher, as tariffs from Washington roil trade and logistics this year, and that may pose a challenge to its long-term sales potential. The push for a sparkling debut will get a boost in Japan from Nintendo's decision to offer a country-specific edition of the Switch 2 priced at ¥49,980 ($350). At the time of its release in 2017, the first Switch had virtually no competition in the high-powered handheld gaming arena. Its success has bred a litter of new rivals, from Valve Corp.'s Steam Deck to Asustek Computer Inc. and Lenovo Group Ltd. products. Nintendo nemesis Sony Group Corp. is working on a return to the segment with an upcoming portable capable of playing PlayStation 5 games, Bloomberg News has reported. The Switch 2's more powerful architecture makes it easier to run high-end PC games as well as mobile games, helping Nintendo expand beyond its traditional demographic, according to Hirokazu Hamamura, a deputy director at Zen University's Center for Industrial History. But ultimately, the console's success hinges on Nintendo's ability to continue to design compelling games of its own while also accommodating titles from outside publishers, such as the Call of Duty franchise. In development since 2019, the Switch 2 will retain compatibility with existing Switch games, giving it an enviable library of titles on launch day. The new console will also be the first in Nintendo's stable to welcome $80 games, with the upcoming Mario Kart World being the first major title on any console priced that high. The Switch 2's new game-key card system — where a memory cartridge serves only to unlock a download of the game from the internet — has been welcomed by software makers. It makes distribution simpler and cheaper, helping with profitability. 'Software publishers are thanking Nintendo as they face rising costs to make games,' said Naoko Kino, who runs Kyos Co., a consultancy that offers support services to developers. The rise of titles like Fortnite and Minecraft has corralled playing time into fewer franchises, often sending players away from consoles to PC and mobile platforms. Street Fighter creator Capcom Co. shifted its development resources to focus on PC gaming platform Steam, seeing it as a better way to connect to young players in more than 200 countries and regions. Following the Osaka-based company's success, many other Japanese publishers such as Final Fantasy developer Square Enix Holdings Co. are trying to follow suit. 'If the Switch 2 underwhelms, the migration by publishers to the PC world is only likely to accelerate,' Kino said. --With assistance from Ville Heiskanen. (Updates with consumer responses.

Jim Cramer Notes Apple Inc (AAPL) Faces Tariff Pain Over India Shift
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently. While discussing Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cramer noted that the tariffs are hitting the company, as he said: 'I don't even want to think about what's happened to Apple because it dared to move some iPhone manufacturing from China to India. Trump's hitting those phones with a 25% tariff because he wants them to be made in the US. From Apple's perspective, it's probably cheaper just to pay the 25.' Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) develops and sells a broad range of electronic devices, including smartphones, computers, tablets, and wearables, while providing various digital services, subscriptions, and payment solutions through its integrated platforms. On May 27, Cramer made some positive comments about the company's CEO as he said: '… The endless carping about how Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, is missing the AI boat, and therefore Apple's phones are falling behind, not something you felt if you bought the stock Friday, as the stock rallied five bucks today to get back over 200. Now I've been following this Tim Cook story for, I dunno, how about a decade now? How about over a decade? A wide view of an Apple store, showing the range of products the company offers.
