They report Thursday. Shares have fallen the past quarter, which is a shame since they should be at the forefront of AI integration into the enterprise. But they're in a tailspin, after cutting their revenue forecast.

Gives exposure to AI. You get dividend increases and share buybacks. The current sell-off is due to the global outlook of corporate IT spend. Buy on dips, like now. He likes it long term.

It's a sleepy stock we don't talk about enough. Wish she owned it. Growth estimates are 11.5%. Shares are up 120% in the last 5 years, beating the S&P. Could be a good entry point if the report is weak.
