5 Unstoppable "Ten Titans" Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold Through at Least 2030
Key Points The "Ten Titans" offer a more comprehensive list of top growth stocks than the "Magnificent Seven." Nvidia and Broadcom provide the building blocks of AI infrastructure. Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle are three exciting plays in cloud computing. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The "Ten Titans" are the largest growth-focused U.S. companies by market cap -- consisting of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), Meta Platforms, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Tesla, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and Netflix. Combined, they make up over 37% of the S&P 500, showcasing the top-heavy nature of the index and how just a handful of companies can move the market. If I could only buy and hold half of the Ten Titans through 2030, I'd go with Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Oracle, and Alphabet. Here's what separates these growth stocks from the rest of the pack. The building blocks of AI Nvidia and Broadcom both play crucial roles in the buildout of artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia's graphics processing units, CUDA software platform, and associated infrastructure provide a full-scale AI ecosystem for data centers. Orders continue to pour in for Nvidia's chips as big tech companies ramp up capital expenditures to support AI models. Broadcom makes application-specific integrated circuits, which are AI accelerators that can perform specific functions. The company's latest customer accelerator (XPU) is its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package, which drastically cuts down on power consumption and boosts efficiency between components -- all within a smaller package size. Broadcom offers compute, memory, network, and packaging capabilities, giving customers a vertically integrated solution for AI at scale. Broadcom has a highly differentiated networking and infrastructure software business. In addition to AI accelerators, its semiconductor segment also offers a variety of solutions for enterprise clients, like broadband, wireless, storage, and more. Three different ways to bet on cloud computing Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle offer three distinctly different ways to invest in cloud computing. Microsoft Azure is the No. 2 cloud player behind Amazon Web Services. Azure is Microsoft's fastest-growing segment -- capitalizing on AI demand through cloud offerings specifically geared toward handling AI workloads. But what separates Microsoft from other cloud plays is the strength of the rest of its business. Copilot for Azure, the Microsoft 365 software suite, and GitHub continue to grow their active user base. Microsoft's revenue growth has accelerated, and profit margins are at their highest level in over a decade -- driving Microsoft's surging stock price. Alphabet's Google Cloud doesn't have as much market share as Azure, but it is growing quickly and becoming more profitable. But unlike Microsoft, where cloud is the centerpiece of the investment thesis, Google Cloud doesn't contribute nearly as much to Alphabet's bottom line as other services -- namely Google Search and YouTube. Alphabet stock has roared higher in recent months, but it's still arguably the best value of the Ten Titans. TSLA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts While Google Search could see disruption from rival information resources like ChatGPT, it's worth noting that Google Gemini has gained significant traction in recent quarters -- showing Alphabet's ability to adapt. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is arguably the most exciting play in cloud computing right now. OCI is thriving due to its flexible structure, which leans on Oracle's established database ecosystem. It is best paired with Oracle databases and applications, with certain services not available on other clouds. Instead of going toe-to-toe with the "big three" cloud providers, Oracle partners with them by combining its database services with the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud infrastructure. All told, Oracle is a top play in cloud computing because it offers its own vertically integrated suite of solutions, but also stands to benefit from the overall growth of the industry through its partnerships. These titans are worth their premium price tags Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle have all been phenomenal stocks -- crushing the S&P 500 over the last five years. With the exception of Alphabet, outsized gains have made valuations expensive based on their trailing and forward earnings estimates, which may deter some investors from approaching these names. However, folks who are looking for top companies to buy and hold through at least 2030 will care more about where a company will be years from now than the next few quarters. The advantage of a longer investment time horizon is that you can give a company time to grow into its valuation. Nvidia, Broadcom, and Oracle are some of the most expensive of the Ten Titans, but they also have the most attractive runways for growth. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Alphabet have more reasonable valuations and multiple levers to pull for growing earnings for years to come. There are valid cases for buying all of the Ten Titans, but Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle truly stand out as the best of the best for long-term investors.

Poised for Explosive Growth: Is Your Portfolio Ready for This ETF?
Key Points Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, and Broadcom are excellent businesses, but they all sport pricey valuations. The technology sector has historically backed up its premium valuation with exceptional earnings growth. A tech-focused ETF could be an effective tool for building a position around a handful of leading companies. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Information Technology ETF › After a slow start to the year, the tech sector is rocketing higher again -- driven by Nvidia and Microsoft becoming the first companies to surpass $4 trillion in market capitalization. There are many ways to invest in top tech stocks, such as buying them directly or going the route of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). If you scan the holdings of a low-cost growth-focused ETF, chances are it is anchored by tech stocks. Even the S&P 500 has a little over a third of its holdings in the tech sector. Investors looking for outsized exposure to hardware, software, and semiconductor giants may want to go with a low-cost technology sector ETF over a general growth ETF or S&P 500 index fund. Here's why the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) is worth a closer look, but may not be a good fit for your portfolio. Betting big on a handful of companies Roughly half of the ETF is invested in just four companies -- Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Broadcom. Notable companies missing from the ETF include Alphabet and Meta Platforms, which are in the communications sector, and Amazon and Tesla, which are in the consumer discretionary sector. Microsoft is a major cloud computing player at the forefront of both consumer-facing and enterprise-level artificial intelligence (AI). Microsoft's high margins and accelerated growth rate help justify its expensive valuation. Apple has been criticized for falling behind the AI train. But the company isn't sitting idly by and doing nothing. Apple has been rolling out new tools and design upgrades for users. And Apple should arguably take a slow and purposeful approach to AI -- prioritizing user-friendly features rather than raw power. Nvidia's graphics processing units are the gold standard for AI data centers, while Broadcom is helping the major cloud computing companies design their own chips for specific applications. One major advantage for both companies is the quality of the customer base. Nvidia and Broadcom are both capitalizing on big spending from the top hyperscale customers. Over half of Nvidia's revenue in its latest quarter came from just four companies -- which are most likely Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms. On its second-quarter 2025 earnings call, Broadcom said that its latest Tomahawk 6 architecture flattens the AI cluster by packing more than 100,000 AI accelerators in two tiers instead of three. Combined with its networking portfolio, Broadcom expects three customers (likely the big cloud providers) to each deploy 1 million AI accelerator clusters in 2027, with a big portion of those deployments coming from custom XPUs. Buying the Vanguard Tech ETF instead of choosing one of these four stocks over the others gives investors exposure to cloud infrastructure, application software, gaming, electronics, consumer services, the high-performance and versatility of GPUs for data centers, custom AI chips, and more. And that's just from the top four holdings. There are 319 total holdings in the ETF. The technology sector has consistently justified its high valuation The Vanguard Tech ETF is a great way to get more exposure to Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, and Broadcom than you'll find in an S&P 500 index fund or a Nasdaq -focused ETF. But there are some risks worth considering before diving in headfirst. The biggest one is valuation. The ETF sports a price-to-earnings ratio of 39.2 compared to 27.6 for the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. Investors are willing to pay a premium for the tech sector compared to the S&P 500 because it is expected to grow earnings faster than the broader market. However, big tech companies must deliver on earnings expectations to justify the premium valuation. Historically, the tech sector has done a phenomenal job exceeding expectations, as it is by far the best-performing sector over the last decade. ^IXT data by YCharts Another reason to avoid the ETF is if you've reached your maximum desired exposure to some of its largest holdings. For example, if you already have a sizable position in a company like Nvidia and you aren't looking to add more, then buying the tech ETF isn't going to be a good fit. A high-octane ETF for investors who don't mind volatility When approaching any stock or ETF, it's best to align investment opportunities with your financial goals. There are plenty of reasons to believe that the tech sector can continue carrying the major indexes to new heights, but that doesn't automatically mean it's a good buy for all investors. The tech sector is expensive and doesn't offer a sizable amount of passive income. It can also be volatile. These downsides may outweigh the potential benefits of the sector for certain investors. However, if you have a high risk tolerance, a long-term investment time horizon, and don't mind the concentration in just a handful of stocks, then the Vanguard Information Technology ETF could be right up your alley. Should you invest $1,000 in Vanguard Information Technology ETF right now? Before you buy stock in Vanguard Information Technology ETF, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Vanguard Information Technology ETF wasn't one of them.

The dangers of Canada leaving its digital sovereignty in American hands
Canadians are waking up to just how much power American tech companies have over their digital life. In April, Microsoft confirmed that U.S. law can override foreign privacy protections, even for data stored on servers outside the United States. That means if Canadian data is hosted by Microsoft, Amazon or Google, it can be accessed by U.S. authorities. For Guillaume Beaumier, an assistant professor of political science and international studies at École nationale d'administration publique (ENAP) in Quebec City, it's a clear sign Canada needs to take digital sovereignty seriously. In a recent Policy Options article, he argues that Canada has grown too dependent on U.S. cloud providers and tech infrastructure, and risks losing control over its economy, governance and security in the digital era. National Post spoke to Beaumier about what digital sovereignty means and what steps Canada should be taking now. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity and length.

I think you can define digital sovereignty in multiple ways, and that's the issue with the concept. It can relate to the ability of the Canadian government to control its own digital ecosystem through regulation, and having the availability to force or influence companies to act in certain ways. It's also, to some extent, the ability to have the economic independence to be able to produce digital services for Canadian citizens, in ways that are not dependent on having access to services coming from other places in the world. It can also relate more broadly to the security of the nation. If you're depending on other countries for accessing specific digital services, in times of crisis, you can end up in a position where you don't have access to the services, and so the broader security of the country also depends on having the ability to produce the services on your own. For a very long time the United States has been using its control over the digital infrastructure around the world, so a lot of the digital services that we rely on are American companies and they also rely on physical infrastructures that are located in the United States. You can think of data centres in that regard. And so, for a very long time, we were fine with it, we forgot that other countries like Russia or China, might have used this control over this digital ecosystem to its advantage, to survey the world, to sometimes even impede other countries. You can see again what happened after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, where Microsoft stopped offering some of its services in Russia. And so, like I said, for a while most countries around the world would have been fine with that, especially western countries because we were allied countries with the United States, even sometimes collaborating with them. But as the (Donald) Trump administration came in and took a more coercive approach towards its traditional allies, it's also making these countries more insecure about their dependence on the United States. I think that we do lack, to a large extent, sufficient capacity to operate on our own, to have a digital ecosystem that can function without American companies. And so, if you think about our digital ecosystem, most social media platforms, if not all, are American companies. If you think about data centres, the main ones that are operating right now and that we rely on, are either in the United States or are owned by American companies on Canadian soil. On the regulatory side, we have also seen the government struggling over the years, to enforce its own regulations, or to even want to regulate these platforms. So we threaten these companies, Google and Meta, to basically leave the country. More recently, the government decided to move back on this decision to impose digital services taxes, and it's an example of where the Canadian government seems to be struggling, because it relies primarily on American companies. So to summarize what I just said, I think just this lack of the ability to offer basic digital services by Canadian companies is one of the big gaps right now. In times of crisis, they can be used as leverage against the Canadian government, so like during this trade negotiation, they can threaten to stop offering some services to Canada. There's also the risk that when the government tries to regulate these companies, they can just threaten to exit the country. You can see in the example of Meta blocking news because of being asked to share the revenue with news organizations. This has left our media ecosystem in a worse-off position. And in times where there are forest fires or other emergencies, information can be more difficult to access by citizens. I think there should be a strategy to invest and develop more national digital ecosystems, to reduce the reliance on American companies. It also should not shy away from regulating these big tech companies and level the playing field for Canadian companies. Basically, making sure they are being taxed, and that they contribute to the national economy. Also, promoting the use of more open source software, in public administration and the digital ecosystem, could help reduce reliance on big tech companies, and prioritize the development of more digital expertise in Canada. When you're thinking of all the big projects the government wants to launch, like big national infrastructure projects, I think it would be a good moment to invest in having more data centres owned by Canadian companies, funded by the government. With the new investments coming in the defence sector, some money could go towards the development of artificial intelligence (AI). I think this broad national plan to invest in Canadian digital capacities would be an essential thing to do in the years to come. I think we just need to find a balance between still being open, we still want to rely on the valuable services that come from the United States, and elsewhere in the world, but to ensure our resilience in times of crisis, and have some basic capacities to function without the use of these services coming from the rest of the world.
