Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives forecasts a “robust” third-quarter earnings season for technology companies, citing artificial intelligence adoption, improved enterprise spending, and rebounding digital advertising as key growth drivers.

What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Ives highlighted an expanding roster of companies beyond traditional AI leaders that are now capitalizing on the technology revolution.

  • This billion-dollar fund has invested in the next big real estate boom, here's how you can join for $10.

  • The Arrived Homes investment platform has created an Income Fund, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with a target 7% to 9% net annual yield paid to investors monthly. The best part? Unlike other private credit funds, this one has a minimum investment of only $100. 

While NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) are “the core drivers of AI, now we are seeing many other tech stalwarts join the AI Party,” Ives wrote, listing Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL), SAP SE (NYSE:SAP), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW), Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR), Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:DELL), IBM Common Stock (NYSE:IBM), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) among the companies making significant moves in artificial intelligence.

The analyst expressed optimism about the technology sector’s near-term prospects, stating, “We believe the next phase of the AI Revolution has begun.” He expects this momentum, combined with strengthening enterprise spending and a recovery in digital advertising, to push technology stocks higher through the end of the year.

This expanding AI landscape indicates a broader range of investment opportunities beyond the few companies that initially dominated the AI narrative earlier in the year, according to Ives.
