SCHD's rulebook kicked out one of the market's hottest chip stocks before its biggest run, and the reason it happened reveals a hidden cost that no expense ratio will ever show you.

Applied Materials (AMAT) sold a record $7 billion of chipmaking tools in fiscal Q3 2026. That was about 77% of its $9.1 billion in revenue for the quarter. When you own the stock, you mostly own those tool sales. A record that large is easy to read as the new normal. So what might Applied Materials investors be overlooking about those tool sales.

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock is up 46% over six months. It still trades about 26% below its high of the past year. At 21 times earnings, about the market's level, the price appears to assume Qualcomm keeps growing as Apple sales shrink. Qualcomm plans to fill that gap with car and data center chips, and is raising prices as memory costs climb. Both plans are under way. So is there a case for waiting before you buy Qualcomm.

While Texas Instruments could soon report its Q3 earnings numbers, analysts anticipate the company’s EPS to climb impressively.

Most investors write off the Nasdaq-100 as a dividend wasteland, but a handful of its chip and networking giants have been quietly raising their payouts every single year while competitors chase hype cycles.

You may own Applied Materials (AMAT) as a chip equipment maker that aims to hand most of its spare cash back to shareholders. A $10,000 holding a year ago is now worth about $24,500. Your stake in this business is far bigger than it was. Is Applied Materials still the business you bought.

Texas Instruments has delivered strong shareholder returns in recent years, which puts fresh attention on one core issue: whether the current share price lines up with the cash the business is expected to generate. With the stock now reflecting years of optimism, the question is how well that market enthusiasm matches the company’s underlying cash flow profile. Over the past 3 years the stock has returned 89.6%, which puts a lot of weight on whether those gains are supported by the cash that...

ON Semiconductor (ON) makes power and sensing chips for cars, industrial equipment and AI data centers. The stock trades at about 27.6 times trailing adjusted earnings, meaning normalized net income with stock-based compensation added back. That basis is meant to sit closer to the one analysts use in their forecasts than GAAP earnings would, though the two are not defined identically. At that multiple the stock looks expensive. But the trailing year was weak, and the weakness is fading.

A retired man collects Social Security and a pension, adds $1,000 a month from a popular Treasury fund, and ends up handing the IRS a bill he never needed to pay. The fund type is the culprit, and the fix is hiding in plain sight.
