Top Stocks I'm Buying For Massive Growth In April 2026
486 segments
While everyone's been glued to the Iran
war, there's been a ton of news that
investors can't afford to miss. So, in
this video, I'll catch you up on eight
major stories that are already moving
markets and quietly changing which
stocks are about to win big. Your time
is valuable, so let's get right into it.
The first story is the Iran war itself
and its impact on the stock market.
CNN's Fear and Greed Index has been
stuck in extreme fear for the last four
weeks, one of the longest stretches in
recent history. It's easy to understand
why everyone's so scared, but it's much
harder to turn it to your advantage in
the stock market. Just this week,
President Trump warned that a whole
civilization will die tonight if Iran
didn't back down. That kind of language
obviously makes normal people want to
pull their money out of the market.
Then, just one day later, we got a
two-week ceasefire. Oil prices fell by
15% and stocks ripped higher as
investors breathed a collective sigh of
relief. If you want to be greedy when
others are being fearful, CNN's Fear and
Greed Index is a great way to do just
that. This index blends seven important
indicators like stock price momentum and
breadth, market volatility, safe haven
demand for bonds, and the ratio of put
to call options. And then it calculates
a single score from zero to 100. 100 is
delusional greed and zero is total
widespread panic. The market has been in
extreme fear for the last month. And now
that you know how to track that, let's
talk about the biggest stories actually
worth getting greedy over. While
everyone was focused on Iran, Nvidia
announced $2 billion investments in
Nebius and Marvell Technologies. I'll
cover Nebius first and Marvell a little
later in the video. Nebius, ticker
symbol NBIS, is a neo cloud company
focused on providing AI infrastructure
for sovereign AI and highly regulated
industries. Think finance, healthcare,
and defense. And they just got the
ultimate stamp of approval from two of
the biggest AI companies on Earth,
Nvidia and Meta Platforms. On March
11th, Nvidia announced that they'll
invest $2 billion into Nebius as part of
a larger long-term partnership to deploy
more than 5 GW of Nvidia systems by
2030. 5 GW is enough power to run almost
4 million homes. As part of the
agreement, Nebius will get early access
to Nvidia's newest Vera Rubin platform.
A few days later, Nebius announced a
5-year AI infrastructure deal with Meta
Platforms worth up to $27 billion.
As part of this agreement, Nebius will
deploy $12 billion of compute capacity
to Meta by 2027, including some of the
first large-scale deployments of those
Vera Rubin GPUs. Meta has an option to
buy up to $15 billion more if Nebius
doesn't sell that capacity to other
customers first. Analysts estimate that
once all this infrastructure is fully
built out and online, it could add
anywhere from 4 to 6 billion dollars in
annual recurring revenue for Nebius,
which would be around a 300 to 400%
increase from their current $1.25
billion run rate in 2025. Separately,
Nebius's management is guiding for 7 to
9 billion dollars in total ARR by the
end of 2026, which implies more than a
5x increase year over year. As a result,
discounted cash flow models like Simply
Wall Street's calculate the fair value
of Nebius stock to be over $600 per
share, which makes it around 80%
undervalued today. Said another way,
Nebius stock would have to 5x from
today's price to reach its fair value
after these two massive AI
infrastructure deals. But Nebius is
still a small and volatile stock that
trades at a high price-to-earnings
ratio, so it may not be for everyone.
But this next stock definitely is.
Microsoft has been trading at its
200-week moving average for the first
time in over 13 years. That 200-week
moving average is the average closing
price of a stock over the last four
years of trading days. This is a great
metric to watch because it smooths out
the short-term noise and reveals a
stock's long-term trend. For strong
companies, it often acts like the floor
where big patient buyers step in. So,
when a quality stock like Microsoft
falls down to that line, it signals a
rare long-term buying opportunity, not
just another random dip. In fact, this
is exactly the kind of setup that the
late great Charlie Munger loved. He
famously said that if all you ever did
was buy high-quality stocks at the
200-week moving average, you would beat
the S&P 500 by a wide margin over time.
Microsoft stock is down by over 20%
year-to-date, making it the second worst
performer of the Magnificent Seven,
right after Tesla. The difference is, of
course, that while Tesla's revenues,
gross profits, and earnings per share
have all been in decline, Microsoft has
grown all three by about 15% in a single
year, and from a much larger base. DCF
models like Simply Wall Street's
calculate Microsoft's fair value to be
around $450 per share, with some analyst
price targets over $500. That means
Microsoft is anywhere from 17 to 25%
undervalued, giving it anywhere from 20
to 33% upside from today's prices. By
the way, if you've ever wondered whether
a stock is actually worth its market
price, you are not alone. Finding a
company's fair value is one of the
hardest parts of investing, which is why
I use Simply Wall Street. Their stock
screener isn't just about filtering by
PE ratios or growth rates. You can
actually screen for companies that look
undervalued based on different
approaches, like discounted cash flow
models, analyst estimates, and many
other built-in checks, so that I can
choose the right metrics for the right
companies instead of forcing everything
into one model. Then I take those ideas
and move them into watch lists. For each
company, I can choose which valuation I
care about most. DCF models for the
hyperscalers, analyst estimates for
smaller companies, and even other
researchers with their own price
targets, and then I can sort that whole
list by most undervalued. That turns my
watch list into a ranked value-driven
list that I can actually act on. I'll
share my favorite stock screener
settings and watch list in the
description below. Simply Wall Street is
jam-packed with tools that I actually
use because they save me time and they
help me buy the best stocks at the best
prices. And now you can get the best
price on Simply Wall Street by using my
link below. 40% off until April 13th and
then 30% off after. Talk about a great
investment. And speaking of great
investments, Nvidia also invested $2
billion into Marvell Technology, ticker
symbol MRVL, on March 31st. Nvidia
announced a strategic partnership to
plug Marvell directly into their
ecosystem via NVLink Fusion. NVLink
Fusion is a plug-and-play connection
system that lets custom chips from other
companies snap into server systems and
talk to Nvidia's GPUs at full speed.
That means Nvidia can still make money
on infrastructure like CPUs and
networking gear even in data centers
built around another company's chips
like Intel's CPUs, Google's TPUs, or
even AMD's GPUs. In this case, Marvell
will build custom AI chips called XPUs
and high-speed networking gear that will
connect to Nvidia's ecosystem through
NVLink while Nvidia provides the rest of
the rack, the Vera CPUs, the BlueField
DPUs or data processing units, ConnectX
network cards, Spectrum-X switches, and
so on. Nvidia and Marvell are also
teaming up on Silicon Photonics and
optical interconnects, a topic that I
recently made an entire video on. This
comes right after Marvell closed its
$3.25 billion dollar
of Celestial AI, which makes photonic
fabric, a technology that uses light
instead of copper to move data between
chips and memory inside AI data centers.
So, one of the leading custom chip
designers with cutting-edge optical
technology is getting pulled into
Nvidia's inner circle with a
multi-billion dollar endorsement. But,
there's another shift happening inside
data centers that many AI investors
missed because it's on the CPU side.
After over 35 years of only licensing
designs to other companies, Arm recently
announced their first-ever self-branded
chip called the AGI CPU. This chip can
pack up to 136 cores per CPU and 64 CPUs
per rack, and it's designed specifically
for AI inference in data centers. Meta
Platforms is the first customer, and Arm
says that OpenAI, Cerebras, and
Cloudflare are also lined up to use it.
But, I wouldn't rush to buy Arm stock
just yet. In my personal opinion, Arm
making their own AI chip puts them in
the awkward position of competing with
some of their biggest customers like
Qualcomm, Amazon, Microsoft, and even
Nvidia, all of which pay for a license
to use Arm's architecture. Also, chips
take years to go from design to volume
production. So, we'll have to see how
performance compares to the competition,
including Arm's own customers, by the
time it actually starts shipping. The
real takeaway for investors here is that
Arm is directly entering the AI chip
race, which could reshape the entire
data center CPU market over the long
term. All right, let's talk about
something that happened right as I was
writing this video. Anthropic is the
company behind the Claude family of
models like Claude Opus 4.6, Claude
Co-work, Claude Code, and so on. On
April 6th, Anthropic announced a new
compute deal with Google and Broadcom
that gives them access to roughly 3.5
gigawatts of next-generation TPU
capacity starting in 2027. That's on top
of the 1 GW of Google's TPUs that
Anthropic already has coming online this
year. That combined 4.5 GW is roughly
enough electricity to power over 3
million homes, or roughly every
household in the greater Chicago metro
area. Broadcom, ticker symbol AVGO, is
the one designing the custom TPUs and
the networking equipment connecting them
all together under a long-term supply
agreement with Google that goes through
2030. That effectively locks in all that
revenue over the next few years, and
that makes them a great picks and
shovels play positioned right between
the hyperscalers and the biggest AI
model companies on the planet. Anthropic
dropped another number that's worth
paying attention to. Their revenue run
rate is already over $30 billion a year,
up from around $9 billion at the end of
2025. So, in less than 3 years,
Anthropic has gone from basically
pre-revenue to out-earning most of the
companies in the S&P 500. One way for
retail investors to get exposure to
Anthropic is through the Fundrise
Innovation Fund, ticker symbol VCX. VCX
began trading publicly on March 19th, so
investors that were focused on the Iran
war may have missed the fund's debut.
But, here's where things get even more
interesting. Anthropic has a new, still
unreleased model called Claude Mythos,
which is said to be much more powerful
than their current frontier models. In
fact, Mythos is so powerful that
Anthropic won't release it to the
public. For example, it's already
discovered thousands of zero-day bugs
and exploits across every major
operating system and web browser,
including a Linux exploit that could
give attackers full control over a
machine. Since Claude Mythos could be so
dangerous in the wrong hands, Anthropic
formed a coalition called Project Glass
Wing with companies like CrowdStrike,
Palo Alto Networks, Broadcom, Amazon Web
Services, Cisco, Microsoft, Nvidia, and
JP Morgan Chase to use Mythos
defensively. The idea is to let these
partners point Mythos at their own
infrastructure and code bases to find
and patch critical vulnerabilities
before criminals or other nations could
exploit them. In my opinion, there are
two big takeaways here for investors.
First, Anthropic is no longer just
another OpenAI competitor. They're
quickly becoming a core infrastructure
and security partner to some of the
biggest enterprises on the planet. And
second, cybersecurity companies like
CrowdStrike, ticker symbol CRWD, and
Palo Alto Networks, ticker symbol PANW,
are getting early access to some of the
most powerful tools that their
competitors don't have yet, giving them
a huge head start against the next wave
of AI-powered cyber threats. All right,
another big breakthrough happened while
everyone was focused on Iran. This time,
in memory and data storage. On March
25th, Google DeepMind unveiled a new
compression technique called Turbo
Quant, which directly attacks one of the
biggest bottlenecks in running large AI
models, the KV cache, which is a big
part of an AI model's memory footprint.
Basically, Turbo Quant can shrink the
memory needed for the KV cache by around
sixfold with no losses in model
accuracy. And some benchmarks show that
it speeds up key inference calculations
on GPUs by up to eight times. Within
hours of the announcement, memory stocks
were dropping. Samsung, SK Hynix, and
Micron all fell by 5 to 7% and SanDisk
plunged by double digits on the worry
that AI data centers might need far
fewer memory chips than previously
expected. If you've been watching this
channel for a while, then you remember
what happened with Deep Seek. Nvidia
stock dropped because Deep Seek car one
showed that using a mixture of smaller
expert models that only activate when
they're needed could drastically reduce
compute costs. But when costs go down,
total demand goes up by much more, since
many more people can now afford it. So,
after Deep Seek reduced compute costs,
demand for Nvidia's chips skyrocketed
instead of going down. That's called
Jevons paradox, and I believe the same
thing is going to happen with memory
after Deep Mind's Turbo Quant
breakthrough. Right after that, on March
18th, Micron reported earnings for what
might be their best quarter they've ever
had. Revenues jumped by around 75%
quarter over quarter and 196%
year over year, while earnings exploded
by over 700% thanks to the insane demand
for high bandwidth memory. And
management guided for $33.5 billion in
revenue for next quarter, which would be
another 40% growth in just 90 days. Like
I've been saying for years now, memory
is no longer a commodity. It's a
critical component for AI model
performance, latency, throughput, power
costs, and ultimately, how smart the
model can feel. And I'm no longer the
only one who thinks so. On April 2nd,
Roundhill launched the first-ever
dedicated memory ETF, ticker symbol
DRAM. This fund is fully focused on
memory names, with Samsung, SK Hynix,
and Micron making up around 70% of the
fund, and names like Sandisk, Seagate,
and Western Digital rounding out the
rest. Roundhill is explicitly pitching
memory as one of the most constrained
layers of the AI stack. It's the part
that's hardest to scale, which makes it
potentially the most profitable part as
AI workloads keep growing. So, check out
the DRAM ETFs if you want to hold the
entire memory market in a single ticker.
Or if you want direct exposure to SK
Hynix, they just announced plans to
pursue a US listing in the second half
of 2026. So, make sure to keep SK Hynix
stock on your radar as well. Either way,
I expect memory demand to explode after
Turbo Quant, not go down, especially as
AI models get bigger, context windows
expand, and more applications move into
production. So, whether you're invested
in Micron, DRAM, or EWY, which is
iShares South Korea ETF, that's also
heavily invested in Samsung and SK
Hynix, I think you'll be pretty happy
with your investments over the long
term. But, we can't talk about direct
listings without talking about SpaceX,
which filed for what could become the
biggest IPO in market history. SpaceX is
expected to go public this summer at a
rumored 1.5 to 2 trillion-dollar
valuation, making it worth significantly
more than companies like TSMC, Broadcom,
and Meta Platforms. Now, Elon Musk
himself went on X and called the number
BS, so take that range with a grain of
salt. But, either way, this is about
much more than reusable rockets. Earlier
this year, SpaceX completed the largest
private merger in history when it
absorbed xAI, the company behind the
Grok chatbot and family of models. In an
all-stock deal that valued the combined
company at 1.25 trillion dollars. And in
case you didn't know, xAI formally
acquired X this time last year. So, the
actual entity going public includes
reusable rockets, Starlink satellite
internet, the Grok AI models, and a
social media platform, all under one
ticker. Personally, I hope this goes
public with the ticker symbol S XXX.
That would be pretty on brand. But,
either way, the big long-term goal here
is orbital data centers, which bypass
energy and real estate constraints here
on Earth by launching compute into
space, powering it with solar panels,
and then beaming the results back to
Earth via Starlink. That's not science
fiction, that's the actual strategic
roadmap that SpaceX filed with the FCC.
And to make it all happen, Musk
announced Terafab on March 21st, a 20 to
25 billion dollar AI chip manufacturing
complex in Austin, Texas that's designed
to produce custom silicon for Tesla's
autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots,
SpaceX's satellite systems, and those
future orbital data centers I just
mentioned. The goal here is to produce
up to 1 terawatt of compute capacity per
year. And to make that happen, Intel
formally signed on as Terafab's
manufacturing partner. Intel will be
contributing the chip design, the
fabrication, and the packaging
capabilities. Just to be clear, a
terawatt is a thousand gigawatts, which
is about 50 times more than the 20
gigawatts of chips that the entire AI
supply chain on Earth produces today.
One funny way that Elon and Intel could
hit that goal is by making really,
really inefficient, power-hungry chips.
Wait. So, maybe Intel is the perfect
partner after all. All jokes aside,
