Vanguard's Growth ETF (VUG) is up 7% in 2026 versus 11% for the S&P 500, marking its first underperformance since 2022. While the fund has beaten the index the year after four of five prior lag years, the author cautions against expecting a 2027 rebound, noting that 2022 saw a severe 34% decline following a 2021 lag. The fund's concentration in mega-cap tech stocks and exposure to interest rate pressures are key headwinds.
Verizon reported strong Q3 2026 results with 406,000 net postpaid phone subscriber additions while reducing acquisition costs by 41% year-over-year. The company secured $4 billion in infrastructure contracts with cloud providers, including a $2 billion dark fiber agreement with Amazon Web Services. Verizon is deploying millimeter wave spectrum to offer 1-gigabit Fixed Wireless Access broadband in metro areas, enabling high-speed coverage expansion without expensive fiber infrastructure costs.
Tesla reduced its 2026 capital expenditure forecast by $5 billion to approximately $20 billion, but this doesn't signal a pullback from AI development. Unlike hyperscalers like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft that build data centers for external customers, Tesla's AI investments are focused on developing autonomous driving, robotaxi services, and humanoid robots for internal use. Management indicated spending will increase in coming years, suggesting the cut reflects timing rather than reduced ambition.
Verizon is experiencing accelerating growth with strong Q3 results, adding 406,000 postpaid phone customers (820% YoY increase) and raising full-year guidance for the third consecutive quarter. Trading at 8.5x earnings with a 6.5% dividend yield, the stock appears undervalued. New AI infrastructure partnerships with Amazon and Google provide additional growth drivers. The analyst rates it a buy, projecting roughly 10% annualized returns, though risks include potential competition from SpaceX.
AI company Anthropic filed for its IPO on Nasdaq under ticker ANT with an unconventional five-class share structure that keeps founders in control while handing board majority to an independent AI safety trust. Public investors gain financial exposure but no governance power, unlike typical tech IPOs where founders use super-voting shares to maintain control.
