Purchases from the last 12 months are excluded because their window has not closed yet.

BlackBerry (BB) surged on its AI pivot while Nokia (NOK) and Qualcomm (QCOM) sold off
BlackBerry (BB) jumped on a QNX-led earnings beat while Nokia (NOK), Qualcomm (QCOM) and the chip suppliers fell. The old phone names are no longer one trade.
Your old phone brands are AI stocks now: Nokia (NOK), BlackBerry (BB), Qualcomm (QCOM)
The brands that ruled the 2000s, Nokia, BlackBerry, Qualcomm and Ericsson, mostly got crushed by the iPhone. The survivors reinvented themselves around AI, from data-center networking to the software in your car to chips taking on Nvidia. What each does now, and the catch.

About $25 billion of Microsoft's (MSFT) AI budget is memory getting more expensive. Wednesday says whether that grew.
Microsoft told investors in April it would spend about $190 billion on capital projects this year. Around $25 billion of that increase bought nothing new, it was the same buildout at a higher price after memory costs rose. Microsoft reports Wednesday after the close, two hours after the Fed decision.
Fed rate hike odds went from 10.7% to 38% in nine days. AI stocks are the most exposed.

Nine of 18 FOMC participants projected a hike this year back in June, and Chair Kevin Warsh says policymakers have no tolerance for elevated inflation. June CPI came in cooler than forecast, but oil has since gone back over $100, and the AI trade is the part of the market most exposed to what happens next.
