: Ecosystems so deeply integrated into daily life and business operations that switching costs are prohibitively high.

: Massive capital expenditure projections and aggressive revenue growth targets underscore the sustained demand for high-performance silicon.

: Amazon.com, Inc. remains the undisputed leader in both global e-commerce and cloud computing via Amazon Web Services (AWS).

: Many of these stocks trade at high price-to-earnings multiples, meaning any deceleration in growth can result in sharp, violent price corrections.
