A Simple Metric for Weighing Growth Against Profitability

By Joe Austin, senior analyst, Chaikin AnalyticsJeff Bezos once said that “overnight success” takes about 10 years…

He should know.

In 1994, Bezos started Amazon (AMZN) as an online bookstore. But the company didn’t turn a profit until 2003.

That year, it made $35 million after losing $149 million the year before.

By that point, Amazon had lost more than $3 billion since going into business.

During those early years, plenty of people were skeptical. But Bezos eventually convinced everyone that Amazon was a tech company, not just a bookseller.

Bezos proved that early losses can lead to massive success. But not every CEO who preaches this philosophy can deliver on it…

Adam Neumann ran WeWork. The company provides coworking spaces. And Neumann made similar promises about turning losses into riches.

He also tried to convince folks that WeWork was a tech company…

Neumann said that WeWork was more than a company that rented office space. In his words, it was a “physical social network” offering “space as a service.”

Between 2016 and 2022, WeWork lost nearly $16 billion.

Today, Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world. WeWork failed its initial attempt to go public… and eventually went bankrupt.

So how do investors separate losses that lead to success from ones that lead to failure? It comes down to how they weigh the trade-off between growth and profitability.

The challenge is that fast growth often requires burning cash.

Get this right, and you back the next Amazon. Get it wrong, and you fund the next WeWork.

As it turns out, at least when it comes to software companies in the tech industry, there’s one formula that can help investors make this call…Recommended Links:

TODAY: Wall Street Legend’s Historic AI Prediction

A rare class of AI stocks has opened a way to potentially double your portfolio in 2026. It works by predicting the biggest earnings beats on 5,000 stocks, BEFORE they occur. A colossal “divide” coming to AI on February 24 has opened the best opportunity since 2022 to apply this breakthrough new strategy today. Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin shares the full details and two free picks. By 10 a.m. Eastern time today, click here to learn more.

He Was Early on Every Major Crash. Here’s What He’s Saying Now…

After calling the dot-com crash, major frauds, and the 2020 market bottom, Whitney Tilson says something is off again. He believes one major AI failure could reset expectations overnight… and he has laid out what investors should do next. Read the full story here.

Separating Real Growth From Empty Promises

The “Rule of 40” is simple…

You add a company’s revenue growth rate to its profit margin. If the total hits 40% or higher, the company is considered healthy.

A venture capitalist named Brad Feld helped popularize the idea in 2015. The concept emerged in Silicon Valley during the 2010s as investors looked for a better way to evaluate fast-growing software companies.

These kinds of businesses often sacrifice profitability to invest in sales and product development. (Slow-growing, mature companies should be generating healthy profits.)

Software companies consistently above 40% with this metric are performing well. Those below it need to either accelerate growth or improve margins.

Today, we have a great opportunity to put the Rule of 40 to work…

Software stocks have taken a beating. And when everything is down, it’s tempting to assume that all software companies are equally troubled.

The Rule of 40 can help identify which companies are genuinely struggling and which ones are just caught in a market downturn.

To see this in action, I recently compiled data on all software companies in the Russell 3000 Index with market caps of at least $1 billion.

That resulted in a list of 167 companies.

For revenue growth, I used the trailing 12 months of quarterly data. I then calculated profit margin two ways, which is consistent with industry practice…

The first was EBITDA margin (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization divided by revenues). The second was free cash flow (“FCF”) margin (FCF divided by revenues).

And the results were startling…

Based on the EBITDA metric, only 43 companies met or beat the Rule of 40. Based on the FCF metric, only 51 companies passed.

So when it comes to picking through the wreckage of software stocks today, remember that only one in four companies was making the grade based on EBITDA. Based on FCF, the number is only one in three.

These numbers are sobering. But before you go all-in on using the Rule of 40 to make investment decisions, understand its limitations…

The Rule of 40 isn’t perfect. You shouldn’t use it as the “make or break” measure in picking stocks.

Companies that fail the Rule of 40 aren’t automatically bad investments. But they deserve a closer look to see if their growth or profitability will improve.

And even if a company passes the Rule of 40, you need to understand if its blend of growth and profitability will continue.

Meanwhile, when it comes to opportunities in the software industry, I’m still monitoring the State Street SPDR S&P Software & Services Fund (XSW)…

The Software Space Still Looks Weak Right Now

As I said last week, XSW has gotten clobbered recently…

Right now, the Power Gauge still rates XSW as “very bearish.” And the ratings breakdown for the fund’s individual holdings still looks bad…

Out of 138 companies with ratings, 54 are “bearish” or worse. That compares with 77 in “neutral” territory… and only seven with “bullish” or better grades.

But as I also noted last week, software remains a massive growth industry. And it’s a crown jewel of American innovation.

This downturn could turn into an opportunity at some point… if you know which companies to focus on.

The Power Gauge will help us know when the industry as a whole is starting to turn. But even when that happens, not every stock in the space will deserve your attention. It’s critical to be selective.

Remember, the growth versus profitability trade-off is a perennial issue with tech companies. Losses only turn into riches when a business is building something real.

The Rule of 40 can help you figure out which companies could be the next Amazon… and which might be the next WeWork.

Good investing,

Joe Austin

Editor’s note: Later this morning, at 10 a.m. Eastern time, Joe will be joining Chaikin Analytics founder Marc Chaikin for a special event…

In short, they’ll be discussing a new way to spot which AI stocks could double your money this year… by foreseeing the biggest earnings beats before they occur, in combination with the Power Gauge. Last year alone, it pointed to seven stocks that more than doubled in a back test.

It’s your last chance to register to attend this free event – you can do so right here.

Must-See: Trump’s Crazy Stock Market Prediction

Dear Reader,

President Trump recently predicted the Dow will hit 100,000 by time he leaves office…

And my research shows he’s about to make this critical move…

That could greatly increase the odds of that happening.

That means the stock market could double from here.

That’s why he also said that…

“This is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before!!!”

And if you follow this Trump blueprint…

By the end of Trump’s term…

You could be cashing out with life-changing gains.

Regards,

Jim Rickards

Record Gold Prices and Copper Demand Set Stage for Explosive NASDAQ Opportunity: USAU’s CK Gold Project Could Deliver 100,000+ Ounces Per Year Backed by H.C. Wainwright’s $27.50 Price Target!

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) is uniquely positioned to benefit from soaring gold and copper markets, with its flagship CK Gold Project fully permitted and ready for development in Wyoming.

The project boasts 1.67 million gold-equivalent ounces, including over 1 million ounces of gold and 259 million pounds of copper, and is projected to produce over 110,000 ounces per year.

With gold hitting unprecedented levels and copper shortages looming due to the clean energy transition, USAU provides investors with direct exposure to two of the most strategic commodities driving global economic growth.

Backed by a strong management team led by former Barrick Gold executive George Bee, and institutional investors like Eric Sprott, Terra Capital, and Franklin Templeton, USAU is executing on a clear development path.

H.C. Wainwright’s $27.50 price targetunderscores the upside potential as CK Gold moves toward production, supported by robust pre-feasibility economics and strategic U.S. locations that minimize sovereign risk. With exploration upside at Keystone (Nevada) and Challis (Idaho), USAU is not just a producer but a growth story.

Alphabet’s Pullback: A Second Chance for Long-Term Investors?

Authored by Ryan Hasson. Article Posted: 2/16/2026.

Key Takeaways

Shares of Alphabet have declined almost 8% month-over-month, fueled by broader tech weakness and CapEx concerns rather than any deterioration in Alphabet’s core fundamentals.
The company continues to post staggering growth and earnings beats, topping expectations in its last three consecutive quarters.
With shares approaching key support, valuation is becoming more compelling for patient investors.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the strongest performers among mega-cap technology peers over the past year, climbing more than 68% through the Feb. 12 session. That strength has been driven by AI leadership, consistent earnings beats, and accelerating growth across cloud and advertising.

Despite its fundamental dominance, the stock is negative year-to-date and has fallen more than 8% in the past month amid broader tech weakness. The question facing investors now is simple: does this pullback signal early fatigue, or a potential long-term buying opportunity?

Alphabet Pulls Back Following Impressive Earnings

“We have never seen wealth created at this size and speed” MIT ResearcherClick here for the stocks to buy and sell now

Alphabet’s latest quarterly results did little to explain the stock’s recent weakness. The company beat both earnings and revenue expectations. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $2.82 versus consensus near $2.63, while revenue reached $113.83 billion, topping forecasts.

For the full year, Alphabet reported $402.8 billion in revenue and $10.81 in EPS, marking 17% year-over-year growth. The results underscored the company’s ability to scale profitably while investing heavily in AI and infrastructure.

Google Cloud again stood out. Fourth-quarter cloud revenue surged 48% year-over-year (YOY) to $17.66 billion, pushing the business beyond a $70 billion annualized run rate.

The contract backlog expanded 55% quarter over quarter to $240 billion, reflecting strengthening enterprise demand.

Search revenue climbed 17% YOY, easing concerns that generative AI would materially disrupt Google’s core business. YouTube generated over $60 billion in 2025 revenue from ads and subscriptions combined, and Alphabet now counts 325 million paid consumer subscriptions across its ecosystem.

On the AI front, Gemini has surpassed 750 million monthly active users, and APIs now process more than 10 billion tokens per minute—evidence of rapidly expanding enterprise and developer adoption.

The Selloff: CapEx Concerns or Broader Tech Weakness?

Shares initially dropped after Alphabet guided 2026 capital expenditures (CapEx) of $175 billion to $185 billion. Management said the increased spending will primarily support AI compute capacity, expand cloud infrastructure, and enhance user experiences across its platforms. Competing at scale in AI requires sustained investment, and Alphabet appears willing to lean in.

That said, the recent pullback looks less like a reaction to CapEx itself and more like part of a broader weakness in software and large-cap tech. As high-multiple growth stocks rotate lower, even fundamentally strong names have been caught in the downdraft.

Still, Alphabet’s leadership position remains intact.

AI Momentum and Waymo Expansion Continue

Innovation continues to accelerate. Alphabet recently rolled out upgrades to its Gemini Deep Think model, improving performance in math and scientific reasoning. The model now integrates Google Search to reduce inaccuracies and assist researchers in practical applications—another step toward AI utility at scale.

Meanwhile, Waymo is expanding its autonomous driving footprint. The company has begun offering rides powered by its sixth-generation autonomous system and plans to expand service into 20 additional cities, including Tokyo and London.

Analyst sentiment reflects Alphabet’s resounding fundamentals. The company maintains a Moderate Buy rating, with a consensus price target implying roughly 18% upside—the highest consensus target on record.

Is GOOGL Approaching Value Territory?

From a technical perspective, shares are approaching key support near $300, with secondary support around $280. Holding either level would likely form a higher low within the broader uptrend.

Valuation points in the same direction. Compared to its Magnificent Seven peers, Alphabet’s trailing and forward multiples sit near the middle of the pack. While the stock currently trades slightly above its three-year average P/E, a pullback to the $280–$300 range would bring valuation closer to historical norms and could tilt the risk-reward balance in favor of long-term buyers.

In short: fundamentals remain strong, AI leadership continues to expand, and capital investment reflects ambition more than weakness. If broader tech pressure persists, Alphabet’s pullback may prove less a warning and more an opportunity.
