In this episode of StockSense, we break down Oracle’s unexpected rise in the AI era — not as a model builder, but as the infrastructure layer behind companies like OpenAI and xAI. From multicloud partnerships with Microsoft to its $28B push into healthcare data, Oracle is making AI work where enterprises already live. We explore how Oracle is scaling its cloud, embedding AI into core apps, and quietly becoming essential to trillion-dollar markets — all while avoiding the hype.

Apple is still profitable, still dominant — but for the first time in decades, it looks vulnerable. Not because it’s failing, but because others are evolving faster.

It’s lagging in AI.

It’s losing China.

It’s facing behavioral shifts among younger users.

And its ecosystem, once untouchable, now looks outdated.

Let’s talk Microsoft, Oracle, CoreWeave, AMD, Applied Digital, and a rising new name: Nebius.

Microsoft and Oracle are securing dominance. CoreWeave and Crusoe are proving that hyperscale doesn’t have to mean Big Tech. And AMD is prying open a door Nvidia can’t fully close.

Meanwhile, companies like Applied Digital and Nebius are building the roads AI will run on.

What if the next era of dollar dominance doesn’t come from central banks — but from protocols?

E-commerce today is no longer just about transactions. It’s a platform war, integrating fulfillment, fintech, AI, and advertising. Let's look at how major players are positioned within this shift:

Amazon leads with full-stack control: online marketplace, Prime ecosystem, FBA logistics, AWS cloud infrastructure, and growing ad revenues. It's the most vertically integrated commerce platform.

Walmart competes by blending online and offline. Its physical store network acts as local fulfillment hubs, and it's aggressively building out marketplace capabilities and ad tech. It’s a hybrid commerce engine.

Costco thrives on member loyalty and scale efficiency. Though less tech-heavy, its bulk value model and global sourcing power keep margins strong and prices competitive. It's analog efficiency in a digital world.

Shopify empowers merchants to build independent storefronts with tools for checkout, fulfillment, and AI-driven personalization. It captures value across the long tail of commerce.

MercadoLibre is the Latin American e-commerce leader with its own marketplace, payments (MercadoPago), logistics (MercadoEnvios), and lending arms. It’s building a full-stack regional ecosystem.

Sea Ltd operates Shopee, which dominates Southeast Asia with mobile-first design, aggressive subsidies, and local market adaptation. It trades profitability for growth, betting on long-term network effects.
