Meta Platforms continues to produce, with AI growth opportunities on the horizon.
10 stocks we like better than Nvidia ›
After a rocky couple of months in the stock market due to uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policy, it seems the storm clouds, for now, are beginning to part. Meanwhile, some of the leading technology companies continue to demonstrate stellar business performance.
It's never a bad idea to invest slowly and steadily in quality stocks that go out and earn your capital.
Here are some of the top technology stocks that you should consider nibbling on in June.
Recent earnings from Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) show that artificial intelligence (AI) momentum is alive and well. The company's leadership in AI data center chips continues to drive staggering growth, including a 69% year-over-year increase in revenue in Q1 of Nvidia's fiscal year 2026, a 12% rise from the previous three months.
Nvidia beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings, and its Q2 guidance was roughly on par with Wall Street's expectations, despite a forecast $8 billion revenue loss due to government restrictions on chip sales to China.
Nvidia's growth continues to highlight the ongoing investments companies are making in hardware to build the infrastructure needed to fuel widespread AI adoption over the coming years, as well as in upcoming industries, such as robotics and autonomous vehicles.
Analysts estimate that Nvidia will grow earnings by an average of 29% annually over the long term, which easily justifies buying perhaps the world's leading AI stock at its recent price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 48. It sounds dramatic to call AI a once-in-a-lifetime growth opportunity, but Nvidia, at least for now, continues to justify the hype with its business results.
Independent adtech company The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) took quite a tumble after an uncharacteristically poor quarter in Q4 of last year. The company's technology platform enables companies to purchase digital ad inventory, match it with their target audience, and track the performance of their ads. It's a leading alternative for advertisers beyond the powerful, but closed, ecosystems of Google (Alphabet) or Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META).
However, the stock has begun to rebound. The Trade Desk's Q1 2025 results blew by analyst estimates, an encouraging sign that the business remains in tip-top shape in a digital advertising market that continues to grow. The Trade Desk has transitioned about two-thirds of its customers to its new Kokai platform, which utilizes AI algorithms to help advertisers optimize their programmatic ad spending and campaign performance.
The Trade Desk has a long track record of profitable growth, and a trillion-dollar global advertising market offers plenty of runway for that to continue. The stock's enterprise value-to-sales ratio was a steep 29 at the end of last year. It has since dropped to 14, allowing investors to buy this adtech winner at a significant discount to its previous valuation.
Social media is a massive advertising landscape, and Meta Platforms has dominated it for years. The company's family of apps -- Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads -- has a staggering 3.43 billion daily active users. It's a cash cow that generated more than $10 billion in free cash flow in Q1 2025 alone, which is remarkable considering the billions of dollars Meta Platforms is investing in AI projects.
Meta Platforms continues to grow its user base and core advertising business. However, its AI projects could be game changers over the next decade. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is attempting to create a new consumer ecosystem beyond smartphones, featuring augmented reality headsets and smart glasses. Additionally, Meta developed and open-sourced its foundational AI model, Llama, which crossed 1 billion downloads in March.
Analysts expect Meta Platforms to grow its earnings by an average of 18% annually over the long term, and there may be upside to that as its AI investments eventually bare fruit. The "Magnificent Seven" stock trades at a P/E of about 25, which is arguably a bargain for a company with its anticipated growth, and one of the most dominant core businesses you'll find.

Looking for More Dividends? These 4 Singapore REITs Could Be Perfect for You

With high interest rates and inflation posing a threat to your savings, dividend-paying REITs have become a go-to choice for investors seeking passive income. REIT managers have been restructuring their portfolios in both the retail and industrial space. However, only a handful check all the crucial boxes of reliable distributions and a resilient portfolio. Here are four Singapore REITs for investors seeking to enhance their income stream. Keppel DC REIT or KDCR, is a sector-specific REIT in data centre infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific and Europe. As of the end of 2024, KDCR's assets under management (AUM) has seen substantial growth to about S$5 billion which is about five times its AUM when it had its initial public offering in 2014. For the first quarter of 2025 (1Q 2025), KDCR's distributable income increased by 59.4% year-on-year (YoY) and its distribution per unit (DPU) increased by 14.2% YoY. In 1Q 2025, KDCR also has a high portfolio occupancy of 96.5%. In March 2025, KDCR realised a profit from the divestment of Kelsterbach Data Centre, giving it more financial flexibility. Moving forward, KDCR acknowledges the high opportunity for growth from strong demand for data centres as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry scales. KDCR has a healthy debt profile with only 2.2% of its debt maturing in 2025. KDCR's DPU is also less sensitive to a change in interest rates with a 0.5 percentage point increase in interest rates resulting in a low 1.1% decline for its 1Q 2025 DPU. Capitaland Ascott Trust or CLAS, is the largest lodging trust in the Asia-Pacific with S$8.9 billion in total assets. CLAS has a geographically diverse portfolio with properties spanning across 46 cities in 16 countries. For 1Q 2025, the trust enjoyed a strong performance from its stable income sources such as master leases which make up 70% of its gross profit. CLAS also experienced a 4% YoY growth of its gross profit. In 1Q 2025, CLAS made two strategic acquisitions of Japanese hotels. This acquisition not only increased CLAS' market exposure in Japan but also increased its distribution per stapled security by 1.6% on a 2024 pro forma acquisition also improved the trust's portfolio as the blended net operating income (NOI) of the acquired hotels was over two times that of the NOI of divested properties in 2024. Macroeconomic challenges such as Trump's tariffs are also mitigated by CLAS due to a highly diversified portfolio in terms of properties and countries, thus reducing concentration mitigation strategies hedge against foreign currency and interest rate risk as well as a reduction in lodging demand due to rising costs. AIMS APAC REIT or AAREIT, is an industrial REIT with a portfolio consisting of properties in Australia and Singapore. For fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) ending 31 March 2025, AAREIT demonstrated a promising net property income growth of 2.1% YoY and a DPU growth of 2.6% YoY to S$0.096. AAREIT also has a high occupancy rate of 93.6%. AAREIT has several Asset Enhancement Initiatives (AEIs) such as the revitalisation of Optus Centre Campus in Macquarie Park,Australia, which will increase the functionality of the event space. By doing so, the Campus will appeal to a wider range of tenants and improve long term tenant retention. AAREIT also has a healthy portfolio weighted average lease expiry (WALE) value of 4.4 years which makes for a smoother and more predictable rental income stream. As of FY2025, AAREIT has total gross debt of S$582 million with no refinancing required for FY2026. Frasers Centrepoint Trust, or FCT, is a retail REIT which owns primarily suburban retail malls in Singapore. For the first half of fiscal 2025 (1H FY2025), FCT reported a YoY increase of 7.3% in net property income and a 0.5% YoY increase in DPU to S$0.0605. Its retail malls showed an increase in shopper traffic and tenants' sales by 1% YoY and 3.3% YoY, respectively. For 1H FY2025, FCT's debt profile is healthy with an aggregate leverage of 38.6% and a cost of debt decreasing by 0.1% quarter-on-quarter to 3.9%. The retail REIT also has a well-spread debt maturity profile and a stable credit rating. FCT has active AEIs with the recent completion of the AEI for Tampines 1 and the commencement of the AEI of Hougang had 41 new-to-portfolio tenants in 1H FY2025 such as Munchi Pancakes at NEX and Honor at Causeway Point. The trust also has several new-to-market tenants upcoming such as OH!SOME at Suntec City and KKV at Tiong Bahru Plaza. These efforts to revamp the malls and introduce new tenants allow FCT's malls to stay relevant, increasing foot traffic and improving tenant retention. With the increasing number of new homes around its malls as well as increasing household income, FCT sees an increase in future consumer spending resulting in long-term growth for retail spaces. In an environment where economic uncertainty is a primary concern, dividend reliability matters more than ever. These four REITs exhibit not only dependable dividend payments but also sound capital management and growth potential. Whether you are a seasoned income investor or just starting out, these REITs deserve to be in your dividend portfolio. When the market is unpredictable, where can you park your money with confidence?

MLB executive Bryan Seeley named College Sports Commission CEO after NCAA settlement approval

The newly formed agency in charge of policing rules in the remade college sports system picked Major League Baseball executive Bryan Seeley as its new CEO. The College Sports Commission announced Seeley as its new leader Friday, shortly after U.S. Judge Claudia Wilken granted final approval of the $2.8 billion House v. NCAA settlement. The settlement allows schools to directly pay players for using their name, image and likeness in endorsement deals. It also allows players to receive NIL payments from third parties. The new commission will be in charge of making sure schools adhere to the rules, which call for a $20.5 million cap on all payments. It is also setting up a clearinghouse to evaluate third-party deals worth $600 or more. 'I look forward to implementing a system that prioritizes fairness, integrity, and opportunity, while preserving the values that make college sports unique,' Seeley said in a statement announcing his appointment. 'I am energized by the work ahead and excited to begin building out our team.' As executive vice president of legal and operations, Seeley oversaw MLB investigations, compliance, state government relations, sports betting and other areas. He played a key role in MLB's sign-stealing investigation into the Houston Astros in 2020. The CSC will begin operation on July 1 when the settlement officially takes effect. ___ AP college sports:

Hong Kong Looks for Ways to Win Back Big-Spending Tourists

The sisters from southwestern China arrived in Hong Kong on a recent holiday, aiming to see as much as they could — in less than 12 hours. Carrying only a small bag each, Hu Di, 30, a bank worker, and Hu Ke, 20, a university student, sampled beef noodles in the Central business district, took turns posing for sunset photos at a waterfront promenade, then captured the city's illuminated skyline after dark. Buying only medicinal oils and retro comics as souvenirs, they spent less than $150 in the day and went back across the mainland China border to stay the night. The sisters are part of a wildly popular trend among mainland Chinese who call themselves 'special forces tourists': independent travelers who get in and out of the city as quickly and cheaply as possible. Mainland Chinese make up more than three-quarters of all tourists in the financial hub. But while they were once big spenders in Hong Kong — buying luxury watches, handbags and designer clothes — they now spend less time and money. That is a challenge to the city's efforts to revive a travel economy hurt by years of antigovernment protests, pandemic restrictions and concerns in the West over its tightening of freedoms through a national security crackdown. Hong Kong, which once billed itself as Asia's World City, is now seeking to brand itself as the region's events capital, emphasizing concerts and trade shows over shopping, to give travelers reasons to return and to spend more. This year, it unveiled a $4 billion sports park at the site of the city's former airport, Kai Tak. Its centerpiece is a purple-hued stadium with air-conditioning under each of its 50,000 seats. It was almost at full capacity during an annual Rugby Sevens tournament in late March. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
