This Week (Here’s our top 3 stock picks)

Affirm Holdings Inc (AFRM)

1 Year Chart:

Category: Growth

Market Cap: $23B

Company Info:

Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFRM) is a fintech company that provides buy now, pay later (BNPL) solutions to consumers, allowing them to split purchases into interest-free or low-interest payments at checkout. Its platform integrates with major merchants like Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart, while also offering a standalone app for flexible financing and virtual cards.

Why it’s a buy:

The stock is a buy in 2025 because Affirm is emerging as a category leader in consumer credit innovation, just as interest in alternative lending models continues to grow. The company reported $22 billion in gross merchandise volume (GMV) over the past year, with revenue up over 50% year-over-year, signaling strong adoption from both consumers and merchants.

Its recent multi-year partnership expansions with Amazon and Shopify further solidify Affirm’s position as a default BNPL provider across e-commerce. With rising credit card dissatisfaction and younger consumers seeking transparent, flexible payment options, Affirm is well-positioned for long-term growth. As profitability improves and its underwriting engine continues to scale, AFRM could become a cornerstone financial platform for the next generation of digital spenders.

Nebius Group NV (NBIS)

1 Year Chart:

Category: Growth

Market Cap: $17B

Company Info:

Nebius Group NV is a cloud infrastructure company spun out of Russian tech giant Yandex, focused on delivering sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure solutions for enterprise and government clients. It operates data centers and provides a wide range of services including compute, storage, and machine learning tools tailored to regulated and high-security environments, particularly in non-U.S., non-China markets.

Why it’s a buy:

The stock is a buy in 2025 because Nebius is building a strategic foothold in regions seeking independent cloud alternatives amid rising global data sovereignty concerns. With hyperscalers like AWS and Google Cloud facing geopolitical scrutiny, Nebius is targeting a fast-growing market segment with high barriers to entry and long-term contracts.

The company is rapidly expanding across Europe and the Middle East, building localized data infrastructure that complies with regional regulations. As AI adoption accelerates globally, demand for specialized cloud environments is set to grow, positioning Nebius as a unique player in a niche but vital part of the cloud ecosystem.

AppLovin Corporation (APP)

1 Year Chart:

Category: Growth

Market Cap: $159B

Company Info:

AppLovin Corp. (NASDAQ: APP) is a marketing and mobile technology company that helps app developers grow, monetize, and analyze their products. It operates a powerful ad network and owns a portfolio of successful mobile games, while also offering AI-driven ad optimization tools through its AXON platform.

Why it’s a buy:

The stock is a buy in 2025 because AppLovin is executing a high-margin, high-growth pivot from gaming to AI-powered ad tech. Its AXON 2 engine has led to a sharp increase in EBITDA margins and advertiser ROI, allowing the company to grow revenue by over 40% year-over-year while keeping costs in check.

With mobile ad budgets rebounding and privacy changes reshaping how companies target users, AppLovin’s first-party data and closed-loop ecosystem are now competitive advantages. The business is highly cash generative, aggressively buying back stock, and expanding globally—all while sitting at the intersection of gaming, mobile ads, and artificial intelligence, three megatrends with years of runway.
