Wall Street is on a strong rally, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recently rising to new highs as strong earnings and artificial intelligence have led to investor optimism.
But this week, the market is facing another round of pressure. Rising tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have sent oil prices soaring, raising new questions about inflation, interest rates and whether the market is able to maintain momentum.
Meanwhile, this quarter’s results were hotter than expected. According to FactSet, S&P 500 earnings growth rose to its highest level since 2021, driven primarily by three Magnificent Seven stocks that announced last week: Alphabet company (Google), Amazon.com, Inc. (Amzn) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (dead).
As I mentioned Last weekmany of these same names are posting strong results as AI spending rises.
But this raises a bigger question: Can investors really trust these big earnings numbers?
So, in this week’s Navellier Market Buzz, I invited accounting expert Rob Spivey of Altimetry, our affiliate, to answer this question for us. He explains the accounting metrics investors should look for, picks the top 3 AI energy infrastructure best positioned to take advantage of this environment – and more.

What’s really driving these increased profits?
With earnings looking stronger than expected, it’s easy to follow the temptation to sit back and watch profits roll in.
I think this is wrong. Because you always have to be aware of what’s out there the next.
Right now, companies are spending billions to build AI – data centers, energy infrastructure, computing systems, and more.
But according to my research, the next phase of the AI boom is happening in a little-known lab in Tennessee.
Hardly anyone talks about it. But President Trump compared the size and scope of this project to the Manhattan Project, which led to the creation of the atomic bomb.
The goal of these systems is not to make small improvements. It’s to speed things up.
The result? We’re talking about major technological and scientific breakthroughs that happen in days, not years.
The impact will be huge. In fact, I believe this could lead to a reset of the $100 trillion AI market this year.
When this happens, some companies will benefit and become clear leaders. While others, even if they appear strong today, may fall behind.
I’ve identified seven stocks that I believe are positioned to benefit the most from this reset.
