As a general guideline, if you want multiple credit cards, it's a good idea to wait at least six months between credit card applications. That period gives your credit time to recover from credit inquiries, keeps your average account age healthy, and shows creditors you can manage your debt responsibly.
On average, American adults have 3.7 active cards, according to 2025 data from Experian.
Experts typically recommend waiting at least six months between credit card applications to protect your credit.
Each new credit card application can affect your credit because of hard credit checks and a lower average account age.

Andvari ***** ociates, an investment management firm, released its first-quarter 2025 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. Andvari's portfolio has performed strongly in the quarter, highlighted by Constellation Software's 19.9% revenue growth and its plans to spend on acquisitions in 2026. The company is also focusing on AI tools to enhance productivity and customer relationships. However, the AI sector is experiencing extreme hype, leading to a growing disconnect between valuations and future cash flows. Predictions suggest the AI investment phase may decline in 1-3 years, despite current high demand for AI infrastructure, which is expected to attract significant competition. Concerns about overbuilding and risky financial behaviors, like Oracle's downgraded credit rating amid a $90-$95 billion AI cloud investment, reflect potential pitfalls. Andvari has minimized exposure to this sector, aiming to protect and grow ***** ets through disciplined investments in stable industries despite recent underperformance during the AI boom. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Andvari ***** ociates highlighted Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL). Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) is a leading US-based integrated software and technology solutions provider for the public sector. On August 28, 2026, Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) closed at $377.94 per share. The one-month return of Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) was 23.70%, and its shares lost 32.86% over the past 52 weeks. Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) has a market capitalization of $15.48 billion.
Andvari ***** ociates stated the following regarding Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL), a software company focused solely on state and local government customers, recently raised its 2030 financial goals because the cloud transition for its customers has moved from aspiration to solid proof. Since its 2023 investor day, Tyler has met or exceeded its 2025 interim targets, shifted more than 95% of new-client total contract value to SaaS ("software as a service"), completed the migration of its roughly 5,000 hosted customers onto AWS, and exited its last private data center on schedule. All this gives management more confidence in both future growth and margins. Tyler's remaining on-premise maintenance base still represents a large conversion pool, and each maintenance-to-SaaS "Lip" is expected to lift recurring revenue by roughly 1.7x before any cross-sell, payments attach, or module expansion. Just as important, Tyler's next phase—"Cloud Living"—should reduce version complexity, lower support burden, speed upgrades, and create a more scalable operating model…" (Click here to read the full text)

Artificial intelligence can help shave off hours of time when it comes to previously manual tasks, such as scenario planning or financial modeling. But as finance employees begin to rely more heavily on AI, it's crucial for finance employees to understand its inner workings — meaning "the CFO needs to have a whole set of processes in place around governance and ethics" when it comes to AI, according to Ian Schnoor, executive director of the Financial Modeling Institute.
The FMI offers a global program for financial modeling accreditation, a discipline where AI is becoming more entrenched. At the moment, many companies are still in the early days of adopting the technology, and "do not have strong disclosures or guidelines yet around AI," Schnoor told CFO Dive. "But if I was a CFO, I would want a policy to know exactly, how was AI used in this process?"
Schnoor, who began his career as an investment banker at Citibank, has served as executive director for the Toronto, Canda-based institute since 2016, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He also serves as an adjunct professor for the Smith School of Business at Queen's University in Toronto, Canada. Before FMI, he served as founder and president for the Marquee Group, a financial modeling training provider he sold to Training the Street in March of 2023.

The world's largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) reported July revenue of NT$467.58 billion, or about $14.5 billion, up by 45% from a year earlier. That's actually ahead of the company's own recently raised full-year guidance of slightly above 40% growth in dollar terms. Chairman C.C. Wei called AI-related demand "extremely robust." European chip stocks, including ASML, rose on the news even as the broader PHLX Semiconductor index sits roughly 15% below its June high.
TSMC's July numbers ran ahead of its own aggressive full-year guidance right as the rest of the chip sector has been selling off on worries about AI overspending.
That raises a fair question: is TSMC proving AI demand is still real, or is one strong month masking real cracks elsewhere?
July's 44.7% growth already outpaces Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM)'s own raised guidance, which Quilter Cheviot **** yst Ben Barringer called "no mean feat," easing pressure on the rest of the summer. High-performance computing, the segment that houses AI chip production for customers like Nvidia and Google, made up 66% of TSMC's second-quarter revenue, showing AI is now the core business rather than a side bet. TSMC also raised its 2026 capital spending guidance to a record $60 billion to $64 billion, a clear signal it expects demand to keep growing rather than plateau.
Separately, TSMC and Sony are reportedly in talks to invest a combined $6.4 billion in a **** an image sensor plant targeting 2029 production, aimed at demand from AI robots and self-driving cars. It is a second long-term growth avenue beyond AI chips.

Cisco's stock has the momentum of a genuine business transformation, but after a powerful run, investors must ask if the price of admission is simply too high.
Cisco Systems (CSCO) builds the plumbing for the digital world. For decades, its networking equipment has directed traffic across the internet and inside corporate data centers. Now, the market is betting that the explosion in artificial intelligence is creating a gusher of new demand for its gear. The stock's trend strength ranks in the top 8% of large U.S. companies, a clear signal of investor conviction. But after a roughly 67% run over the past year, the question for any would-be buyer is sharp and unavoidable: is this a genuine business super cycle with room to run, or is all the good news already baked into the price?

Is This A Real Business Super Cycle, Or Just A Stock Chart?
The momentum here reflects more than a line on a chart; a formidable business engine powers it. Cisco's operating margin over the last twelve months is 24%, comfortably ahead of the S&P 500 median of 18.4%. Revenue growth is also outpacing the market, at 9.2% versus an index median of 8.3%. This isn't a fluke; the company's three-year average operating margin is a sturdy 24%.

Earlier this year, CEO Greg Abel announced that Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) resumed its share repurchase program in March. But much to investors' disappointment, the company's first-quarter earnings report revealed just $235 million in total share repurchases that month. That's practically unnoticeable for a company with a market cap of more than $1 trillion.
It looks like Abel stepped up the repurchase activity in the second quarter. A Barron's **** ysis of Warren Buffett's SEC filings in July indicates Berkshire Hathaway's Class A share count declined by around 11,000 between April 14 and July 14. Due to rounding and estimating the average share price of repurchases, the actual amount spent buying back shares won't be known until Berkshire releases its Q2 earnings results. However, Barron's suggests the amount could be as high as $11 billion.

That's a bullish sign for shareholders.
When Berkshire Hathaway buys back its own shares, it's usually a good sign that management believes its shares are undervalued. Chairman Warren Buffett has decried companies that repurchase shares without regard for their stock's price or value. Conversely, Berkshire's share repurchase authorization permits repurchases only when "Berkshire's Chief Executive Officer, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board, believes that the repurchase price is below Berkshire's intrinsic value, conservatively determined."

July 29 (Reuters) - Apple's decision to hold iPhone prices steady is set to power its strongest June-quarter sales growth in five years, but investors will want to know how long it can resist an increase.
The consumer electronics giant raised iPad and MacBook prices last month as it sought to offset cost increases from a shortage of memory and storage chips caused by massive AI datacenter buildouts.
But the company spared its cash cow, iPhones, even as rival smartphone makers were forced to pass on the higher costs that prompted a decline in global smartphone shipments in the April-June quarter, to the lowest in 13 years.
Apple's decision paid off: iPhone shipments rose 3% and the company's market share climbed to nearly a fifth, estimated research firm Counterpoint.

Alibaba (BABA) shares gained pace this week after the Chinese tech giant confirmed a major update to its artificial intelligence push, one that ties its Qwen models directly to hundreds of millions of Apple (AAPL) devices in China. The Chinese tech giant has spent more than a year and billions of dollars building out its AI business, and this latest move shows that bet starting to pay off in a very visible way.
Over the past year, Alibaba has shifted its cloud division away from basic storage and computing services and toward artificial intelligence.

Some of the biggest gains from the U.S.-led artificial intelligence (AI) boom have been going to companies in other countries. Some of the world's best semiconductor stocks are in countries like Taiwan and South Korea. These countries are often categorized as "emerging markets" by international stock ETFs.

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) is one of the best performing AI stocks over the last 3 years, with a 3Y CAGR of 153%. On July 6, William Blair **** yst Sebastien Naji named Credo his top semiconductor pick for the next six months. That followed several constructive June calls. Evercore ISI **** yst Mark Lipacis initiated coverage on June 22 with an Outperform rating and a $325 target, describing Credo as an AI-connectivity leader moving from a mainly copper portfolio toward a combined copper-and-optical offering.
The same day, Stifel **** yst Tore Svanberg maintained a Buy rating and raised his target to $350 from $250 after management meetings, citing the company's vertically integrated, system-level approach across both technologies. Bank of America kept Buy on June 26. The common thread is that larger AI clusters require more high-speed, energy-efficient connections. Credo's active electrical cables, digital signal processors and optical products address that need. Risks include customer concentration, rapid interface transitions, and expectations that already **** ume substantial growth.
Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:CRDO) provides high-speed connectivity solutions, including active electrical cables, digital signal processors, retimers, SerDes chiplets, and optical components for hyperscale, cloud, and AI networks.
While we acknowledge the potential of CRDO as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
