The Fed's interest rate hikes throughout 2022 and 2023 have successfully cooled post-pandemic inflation, bringing it closer to the 2% target. Inflationary pressures have eased without tipping the economy into a recession, suggesting a soft landing. This stability, paired with recent rate cuts (0.5% in September 2024 and 0.25% in November 2024), fueled a strong year for the stock market in 2024. The markets surged further after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, with major indices reaching record highs in the days following the election. Still, questions remain about the direction of economic policy, as potential tariffs and corporate tax changes add uncertainty for 2025. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals?

Why The Trade Desk Stock Popped 40% in May
After missing fourth-quarter estimates, The Trade Desk redeemed itself with a strong first-quarter earnings report. The stock also gained as the U.S. and China agreed to lower tariff rates. The Trade Desk has made significant investments in AI, which should set it up for success over the long term. 10 stocks we like better than The Trade Desk › Shares of The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) were soaring last month as the ad tech leader delivered better-than-expected results in its first-quarter earnings report, redeeming itself after an earlier miss, and benefited from a broader risk-on movement in the market. That included a surge on May 12 when the U.S. and China agreed to lower tariff rates. As a result, The Trade Desk stock finished May up 40%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. As you can see from the chart below, the stock popped following its May 8 earnings report and gained on the following session due to the favorable trade war news. The Trade Desk, which is the leading independent, demand-side platform in ad tech, got off to a rough start to the year after missing its own guidance for the first time in February when it reported Q4 earnings. Its Q1 earnings report reassured investors, showing that the Q4 miss was indeed a blip rather than a sign of underlying problems. In Q1, The Trade Desk's revenue jumped 25% to $616 million, easily topping estimates at $575.3 million, and management said the strategic updates it implemented in Q4 were paying off. On the bottom line, it also delivered strong results as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $208 million were up from $162 million in the quarter a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share increased from $0.26 to $0.33, topping expectations at $0.25. The Trade Desk stock gained 19% on May 9 on the news and then added another 12% on May 12 on news that the U.S. and China were lowering their tariff rates for 90 days. Due to its exposure to advertising, The Trade Desk is sensitive to the macroeconomic climate, so calming trade tensions is a good sign for the company. Over the rest of the month, the stock was mostly flat. The Trade Desk remains an expensive stock at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 91 based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but the company looks poised for long-term growth thanks to its investments in AI and the broader growth of the digital advertising market. Looking ahead to Q2, the company expects revenue of at least $682 million, or at least 17% on adjusted EBITDA of $259 million. If it can maintain that kind of growth, the stock should move higher over the long term.

What To Expect From Yext's (YEXT) Q1 Earnings
Online reputation and search platform Yext (NYSE:YEXT) will be announcing earnings results tomorrow after market close. Here's what investors should know. Yext met analysts' revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $113.1 million, up 11.9% year on year. It was an exceptional quarter for the company, with a solid beat of analysts' annual recurring revenue estimates and an impressive beat of analysts' billings estimates. Is Yext a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Yext's revenue to grow 12% year on year to $107.6 million, a reversal from the 3.5% decrease it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.11 per share. Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Yext has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates five times over the last two years. Looking at Yext's peers in the sales and marketing software segment, some have already reported their Q1 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Semrush delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 22.4%, beating analysts' expectations by 0.9%, and The Trade Desk reported revenues up 25.4%, topping estimates by 7%. Semrush traded down 1.6% following the results while The Trade Desk was up 18.4%. Read our full analysis of Semrush's results here and The Trade Desk's results here. There has been positive sentiment among investors in the sales and marketing software segment, with share prices up 7.6% on average over the last month. Yext is up 2% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $8.50 (compared to the current share price of $6.71). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

3 Top Tech Stocks to Buy in June
Nvidia's recent earnings results show that the AI train remains full speed ahead. The Trade Desk quickly put a Q4 hiccup behind it with stellar Q1 2025 performance. 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. Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.
