Dear Reader,

I want to give you a free stock pick today.

No strings attached. No credit card required. Just the name, ticker, and my full analysis.

Here's what I can tell you right now:

This company's sales are up 28% year over year. It holds over 30,000 patents in wireless and video technology. And it just earned an A-rating in my proprietary Stock Grader system.

That's the same system that helped me flag Nvidia back in 2005 — before its 82,000% run.

In fact, this system has identified the top-performing S&P 500 stock for 12 years running. Over the years, it has cost me $9 million to build and maintain. And right now, it's flashing its highest possible rating on this AI play.

But this pick is just the beginning...

I've also identified three more AI stocks my system shows have the same early-stage characteristics as Nvidia did in 2005.

2 Tech Giants Holding Their Ground While the Market Slides

By Ryan Hasson. Date Posted: 3/19/2026.

Key Points

• Despite a broad market selloff, Alphabet and NVIDIA have demonstrated impressive strength, holding key support while most of their peers have broken down.
• Alphabet has outperformed every other Magnificent Seven stock over the past year, driven by impressive growth across its portfolio.
• NVIDIA has its highest-ever consensus price target of $274, implying 50% upside, while institutions have poured $386 billion into the stock over the past 12 months.

It's been a rough year for equities, but not all mega-cap technology stocks are the same. While the broader market sits negative year to date (YTD) and the technology sector, represented by the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLK), is down more than 3% on the year, a couple of the largest technology companies have shown notable relative strength. That resilience—amid a market dominated by fear, headline risk, and uncertainty—makes these two names particularly noteworthy. If the broader market firms up and reclaims key moving averages in the coming weeks, they could be among the first to break higher.

Alphabet: The Quiet Leader of the Magnificent Seven

Over the last 12 months, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has outperformed every other Magnificent Seven stock, surging more than 90%. And while the stock is close to flat year to date, that relative performance still outpaces many mega-cap peers as well as the broader technology sector and market. The strength is evident on the chart: Alphabet has spent several months consolidating above the key $300 support level, holding a bullish pattern and remaining one of the few mega-cap tech names to retain its higher-timeframe positioning while others have broken down.

The outperformance isn't accidental; it stems from consistent fundamental execution. The company has produced a string of consecutive quarterly earnings beats, resilient Search revenue, accelerating momentum in Google Cloud, expanding profitability, and clear leadership in artificial intelligence.

In its most recent report, issued in February, Alphabet posted fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that topped expectations across the board, and the company surpassed $400 billion in annual revenue for the first time in its history.

Google Cloud continued to stand out as the primary growth driver: fourth-quarter cloud revenue reached $17.66 billion, up 48% year over year and well ahead of the $16.18 billion consensus estimate.

Analyst sentiment reflects that performance. Of the 51 analysts covering the stock, 46 have assigned a Buy rating, producing a consensus Moderate Buy. The consensus price target of $367 implies almost 20% upside from current levels.

NVIDIA: The Most Watched Consolidation in the Market

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the second-best-performing Magnificent Seven stock year to date and the third-best over the past year. The more compelling story, however, is what has unfolded recently: while the broader market fell more than 1.5% and many peers slipped, NVIDIA held firmly above key higher-timeframe support.

NVDA has been consolidating above $170, forming one of the market's most closely watched technical setups. The next major inflection is the $200 resistance level, and with the bull-flag tightening and relative strength on display, a broader market recovery could be the catalyst for a breakout.

Analyst sentiment remains overwhelmingly bullish. Based on 53 analysts, NVIDIA carries an outright consensus Buy rating, and the consensus price target has reached $274, implying roughly 50% upside potential.

That is the highest consensus price target on record. Despite an incredible run—up over 600% in the prior three years—institutions continue to be aggressive buyers. Over the past 12 months, $386 billion flowed into the stock versus $114 billion in outflows. In Q4 2025 alone, institutional purchases totaled $152 billion against $36 billion in outflows, a strong signal that many large investors remain committed.
