Dear Fellow Investor,
I've been investing in technology for over 40 years.
And I've learned one thing…
The BIGGEST money gets made right before everyone realizes what's happening.
Not after.
My name is George Gilder.
In 1991, I predicted smartphones would change the world.
In 1994, I said streaming video would destroy Blockbuster.
In 1996, I called Amazon's dominance when it was "just a bookstore."
People thought I was nuts.
But early investors who listened?
- Apple: 249,900% since IPO
- Netflix: 112,700% from going public
- Amazon: 216,100% since IPO
Now I'm seeing something that could be BIGGER than all of them.
The Trump administration just secured a $200 billion investment in a new computing technology.
It's called wafer-scale processing.
And my research suggests it could make today's AI data centers obsolete.
Three companies are leading the charge by building what I call the "Trillion Dollar Triangle" capable of:
- Processing speeds up to 100X faster than current systems
- Using 90% less energy consumption
- Eliminating the need for massive data centers
This isn't theoretical.
It's already working in real-world applications.
And Wall Street is still asleep at the wheel.
>>Get the three company names before the crowd catches on <<
To the future,
George Gilder

3 Blue-Chip Stocks Built for a Rotating Market
Authored by Chris Markoch. First Published: 3/8/2026.
Key Points
- Sector rotation in 2026 is favoring defensive, value-oriented areas such as utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples over mega-cap technology.
- Duke Energy and Gilead Sciences combine defensive characteristics with identifiable growth catalysts and reliable dividends.
- Hershey has rallied sharply with consumer staples, but its valuation now looks stretched relative to its earnings profile.

Sector rotation occurs when investors shift capital out of sectors that look overbought and into ones that appear undervalued. In 2026, that dynamic has meant moving away from mega-cap technology names and into value-oriented, defensive sectors such as energy and consumer staples.
The key issue is valuation. Big tech has been hot for more than two years, driven largely by enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI). Despite worries about a dot-com–style repeat, many investors largely ignored the lofty valuations of these names.
Economist who Predicted 2008 and 2020 Crashes: "Prepare for AI Meltdown" (Ad)
He's the famous economist and best-selling author who predicted the 2008 meltdown just three weeks before Lehman Brothers imploded and the Covid meltdown just three weeks before the stock market suffered the fastest drop in history. He's now predicting we're about to see an AI meltdown of historic proportions, similar to what happened in 2000 during the dotcom bust when the stock market crashed almost 80%, ruining the retirement of millions of Americans, warning that the most important AI company in the world is about to go bust in a meltdown 10 times bigger than Lehman Brothers.
See the five simple steps to prepare nowNow some of those investors are finding that valuation matters — even if it can be ignored for a while. As the economy begins to pick up, portfolios are shifting toward perceived value elsewhere, including blue-chip defensive names like the stocks profiled here.
Utilities Provide Stability in a Rotating Market
Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) is a logical beneficiary of sector rotation. Duke is a well-known utility provider in the Southeast and Midwest United States. Utilities stocks are typically defensive, often classified as value and income plays. Duke offers a relatively secure dividend yielding around 3.2%, and the company has increased payouts for 20 consecutive years.
The evolving U.S. energy landscape also creates growth opportunities for DUK. The company takes an "all of the above" approach to generation, including nuclear, hydroelectric and natural gas.
Strength in natural gas has helped drive DUK's strong bounce in 2026, but the stock's appeal rests on a stable residential utility revenue base and projected growth from areas such as data-center infrastructure.
DUK is up nearly 12% in 2026 and sits within roughly 5% of its consensus price target of $136.87, which would push the stock above its 52-week high. Trading at about 20.5x earnings, Duke currently commands a modest premium to its historical average.
Since the company reported earnings in February, analysts have raised price targets on expectations of year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of the year — a development that could support a bullish re-rating.
Biotech Strength Gives Gilead Defensive Growth
Some analysts see biotechnology as another beneficiary of the rotation. Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) offers defensive growth within the healthcare sector, which has lagged the broader market.
Gilead is a leader in HIV therapies, with key drugs protected by patents into the 2030s. Investors are also encouraged by a pipeline of more than 50 candidates. Beyond HIV, Gilead expects to launch anito-cel, a CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma, in 2026, and it may see a label expansion for its breast cancer drug Trodelvy.
GILD is up nearly 18% in 2026 and reached a 52-week high before pulling back slightly — a move that looks like profit-taking after an outsized run and could create a buy-the-dip opportunity.
Analysts hold a consensus price target of $156.72, implying more than 8% upside, and many firms have raised targets since the February earnings report, with the highest at about $170.
Gilead also pays a steady dividend, yielding roughly 2.28%, and has raised its payout for 10 consecutive years.
Consumer Staples Rally Lifts Hershey Stock
The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) has been a major beneficiary of the rotation into consumer staples. HSY is up nearly 25% in 2026 and has broken out of the bearish trend that began in 2023.
The company faced headwinds from higher cocoa costs through 2025, and those pressures may still affect earnings in 2026. Still, the market is forward-looking, and analysts forecast meaningful earnings and revenue growth this year.
HSY is trading above its consensus price target of $222.21, but analysts have been raising targets since the February earnings release — the most bullish being Goldman Sachs at $267.
In that report, Hershey increased its dividend by 5.9%, marking 15 consecutive years of increases. The company's dividend yield is around 2.5%, with an annual payout of $5.81 per share.
Following the rally, HSY now trades at more than 50x earnings. That rich multiple likely prompted heavy institutional selling last quarter, but it could also offer investors a chance to buy into the stock on any pullback.
Rocket Lab Finds Its Footing as Post-Earnings Support Takes Shape
Authored by Ryan Hasson. First Published: 3/5/2026.
Key Points
- Rocket Lab is stabilizing after an almost 30% pullback from record-highs, with shares holding key support and potentially forming a higher low.
- Strong Q4 results reinforced the growth story, highlighted by significant annual revenue growth, expanding margins, and a $1.85 billion backlog.
- While the Neutron launch has been pushed to Q4 2026, analysts remain constructive, maintaining a bullish rating and consensus price target.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
After pulling back sharply from its 52-week high, Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) appears to be carving out a meaningful support zone.
Shares are down nearly 30% from their record highs, pressured by February's broader risk-off rotation in growth stocks and lingering concerns tied to a Neutron development setback earlier this year. Sentiment shifted quickly when the company disclosed a Stage 1 tank rupture during routine hydrostatic pressure testing in January, which pushed the timeline for Neutron's maiden flight further out.

See the five simple steps to prepare nowWith earnings now behind it and updated guidance in place, the stock is beginning to stabilize.
If this consolidation ultimately confirms a higher low within the broader uptrend, it could be the setup longer-term investors have been waiting for.
Selling Pressure Eases as Support Holds
After weeks of persistent selling, RKLB is showing early signs of renewed stability.
Shares remain above the 200-day simple moving average, a key long-term trend indicator. The low $60s have acted as firm support, with buyers stepping in repeatedly at that level, while the 50-day moving average sits overhead as near-term resistance.
If the stock can continue to base constructively and reclaim resistance near the mid-to-high $70s, it would strengthen the case that a higher low is forming within the broader uptrend.
Technical setups, however, need backing from fundamentals—and Rocket Lab's latest earnings helped reinforce its longer-term growth narrative.
Q4 Earnings Reinforced Growth and Improving Fundamentals
Rocket Lab reported strong Q4 and full-year 2025 results, delivering revenue and earnings beats while posting record annual sales.
The aerospace company completed 21 successful launches in 2025, including seven in Q4, maintaining a 100% mission success rate for the year. Full-year revenue reached $602 million, up nearly 40% year-over-year, and Q4 revenue was $180 million, a 36% increase versus the prior-year period. GAAP EPS showed a loss of $0.09, slightly better than expectations.
Margins continued to improve: GAAP gross margin expanded to 38%, and non-GAAP gross margin reached 44.3%. The adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed meaningfully, reflecting improving operating leverage.
The company ended the year with $1.1 billion in cash and equivalents, providing ample liquidity to fund continued development and expansion. Its backlog climbed to $1.85 billion, and management indicated roughly 37% of that backlog is expected to convert into revenue over the next 12 months.
A major contributor was an $816 million prime contract from the Space Development Agency to build 18 satellites. The Space Systems segment is scaling alongside launch services, reinforcing the company's evolution into a more diversified space infrastructure provider. Several partnerships and acquisitions announced recently further deepen vertical integration, positioning Rocket Lab as more than just a launch company.
Neutron Timeline Reset
The primary overhang remains Neutron. Management confirmed the rocket's maiden launch is now expected in Q4 2026 following the January test anomaly.
While disappointing for investors hoping for an earlier debut, development risk is inherent in aerospace programs of this scale. CFO Adam Spice indicated that Q1 2026 will be Neutron's peak R&D spending quarter. As development progresses and spending moderates, profitability metrics should improve.
For Q1 2026, management guided revenue between $185 million and $200 million, with GAAP gross margins projected at 34%–36%.
Analysts Remain Supportive
Despite the delay, analyst sentiment remains constructive. Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target following the earnings release while maintaining an Overweight rating, citing record revenue and strong execution. Needham trimmed its target due to the revised Neutron timeline but kept a Buy rating and a price target well above the consensus.
Overall, RKLB carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating, with institutional flows remaining deeply net positive over the past year.
For now, the chart suggests support is forming and the fundamentals remain intact. If buyers continue defending key levels and momentum rebuilds, Rocket Lab may be quietly laying the groundwork for its next move higher.
