Huawei's AI Scandal Just Exploded--And Investors Should Be Paying Attention
This isn't just a code reviewit's a window into the internal pressure mounting inside China's AI champions. With Alibaba and DeepSeek making waves and catching investor attention, Huawei's rare public statement signals how high the stakes are becoming. The companylong a symbol of China's tech self-sufficiencynow finds itself on the defensive in one of the hottest battlegrounds: sovereign AI. The fact that Huawei had to respond at all speaks volumes. IP compliance, innovation speed, and trust are no longer soft issuesthey're table stakes in an environment where reputations are earned (or lost) in public.
For global investors watching the AI value chainfrom chipmakers like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to downstream platforms like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)this is another flashing signal. The game isn't just about who builds the fastest model. It's also about who's playing fair, who's shipping on time, and who's earning credibility in a world that increasingly demands transparency. As China's AI ecosystem matures, these reputational battles could become just as important as the hardware wars.

(NASDAQ: RCAT) between March 18, 2022 and January 15, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important July 22, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Red Cat securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Red Cat class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Salt Lake City Facility's production capacity, and Red Cat's progress in developing the same, was overstated; (2) the overall value of the SRR Program's Tranche 2 contract ('SRR Contract') was overstated; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Red Cat class action, go to call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.

This Artificial Intelligence Stock Has Beaten the Market in 9 of the Past 10 Years. And It's On Track to Do It Again in 2025.
Key Points Broadcom stock has accumulated gains of more than 2,000% in the past 10 years. Strong demand from tech hyperscalers highlights both a strength and vulnerability for the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom › Investing in top growth stocks is a great way to achieve strong returns and potentially outperform the market as a whole. The S&P 500 is an index of the leading companies on the U.S. markets, and historically, it has risen by 10% per year, though that's an average including up and down years. That return is not guaranteed, but at such a high rate, an investment would double after a little more than seven years. One artificial intelligence (AI) stock that has routinely outperformed the broad index is Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). The semiconductor and infrastructure company has benefited from the growth in tech in recent years, and that has allowed it to outperform the market on a consistent basis. With strong gains once again so fare this year, is Broadcom still a great buy, or could it be due for a pullback? Broadcom has been a top growth stock over the past decade Here's a look at just how well Broadcom has performed over the previous 10 years, compared to the S&P 500. Year S&P 500 Return AVGO Return 2024 23.31% 107.69% 2023 24.23% 99.64% 2022 (19.44%) (15.97%) 2021 26.89% 51.97% 2020 16.26% 38.55% 2019 28.88% 24.28% 2018 (6.24%) (1.02%) 2017 19.42% 45.33% 2016 9.54% 21.78% 2015 (0.73%) 44.30% Data source: YCharts. What's surprising is that the one year when the S&P 500 did better than Broadcom was 2019, when the index finished higher at nearly 29%, versus 24% gains for Broadcom. The past doesn't predict the future, but the tech stock's terrific run can't be ignored. In 10 years, shares of Broadcom have risen by more than 2,000%, while the S&P 500 has increased by around 200%. Can Broadcom's impressive gains continue? As of the end of last week, Broadcom's stock was up around 19% for the year, which was comfortably above the S&P 500's returns of more than 6%. But with a valuation of around $1.3 trillion and Broadcom trading at 33 times its estimated future earnings (based on analyst estimates), it's not a cheap stock to own. The biggest risk is that the company relies heavily on demand from hyperscalers. These are big tech giants that have significant infrastructure needs related to tech and AI. If they scale back on their expenditures, that could significantly weigh on Broadcom's results. The company estimates that its top five customers account for around 40% of its revenue. The company's revenue during the most recent reported period -- which ended on May 4 -- grew by a rate of 20% year over year, as its top line came in at just over $15 billion, while profits more than doubled, rising to nearly $5 billion. If Broadcom can continue producing strong results such as these, it wouldn't be surprising to see it outperform the market once again this year. Though that risk of hyperscalers cutting spending remains. Is Broadcom stock a buy right now? If you're bullish on AI and expect there to be much more growth ahead, Broadcom can make for a compelling investment to simply buy and hold. But at the same time, it's also important to consider the risks ahead, especially as tariffs and trade wars could impact growth in the tech sector in the near future. Earlier this year, Broadcom's stock was underperforming the S&P 500 due to the uncertainty in the markets. While that looks like a distant memory right now, investors should brace for a possible slowdown for the stock as it's trading at an elevated valuation and it may be due for a decline. Its track record may be impressive, but that by no means guarantees it'll always be a market-beating stock. I'd hold off on buying shares of Broadcom only because the markets appear to be a bit too bullish right now, and with high expectations priced in, there's a lot of downside risk that comes with owning the stock. Broadcom isn't a bad buy, but I think there are better AI stocks to invest in today. Should you buy stock in Broadcom right now?
