This Marketing Firm Just Embraced AI & Blockchain, Building the Next Data Empire

One of the year’s boldest bets just hit Wall Street.

A small-cap firm unveiled plans to merge AI and blockchain, anchoring its future with a $100 million crypto reserve. This could be the blueprint for the next data empire.

The Fed is shaky. Trade wars are heating up. Retail investors are panicking.

But smart money?

They’re not chasing hype—they’re moving into stability.

Right now, institutions are quietly loading up on 3 defensive plays: utilities, staples, and healthcare.

These aren’t guesses—they’re real businesses with strong yields, steady growth, and decades of resilience.

I’ve put all 3 names, buy zones, and growth catalysts into one simple report.

U.S. stocks edged higher today as a surge in energy shares, driven by rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions, offset weakness in Apple following its underwhelming iPhone launch.

Unilever (NYSE: UL) is saying goodbye to its ice cream cabinet this November, spinning off the $9 billion division into the new Magnum Ice Cream Company.

Ben & Jerry’s, Cornetto, and Magnum are all heading to the market as a standalone giant that already controls more than 20% of global ice cream sales.

Unilever’s goal?

Drop the capital-heavy business and slim down to focus on faster-moving staples while keeping dividends flowing. Sometimes you have to cut back on sugar to stay fit.

Why Investors Should Care

Spin-offs often come with a sweet surprise: higher multiples once the business trades on its own.

Magnum Ice Cream Co. has scale, brand recognition, and a growth target of 3–5% annually, which is not bad for a freshly scooped IPO.

Unilever, meanwhile, gets leaner and more efficient. Less freezer space, more margin focus is exactly what income investors want in a staples powerhouse.

Two Ways to Play It

For growth hunters, Magnum is the obvious shiny new toy. For the dividend crowd, 

Unilever stays the steady anchor, now with sharper portfolio discipline.

It’s a rare split that hands investors two tickets at once, one for stable returns, the other for growth with sprinkles.

Boeing (NYSE: BA) just delivered 57 jets in August, pushing its total for 2025 to 385, which is already above all of 2024.

For a company that has been tripping over its own shoelaces for years, this feels like a clean takeoff.

Cathay Pacific’s 14-plane order for the 777-9 is the cherry on top. It proves Boeing is not just leaning on the 737 MAX; it still has muscle in the long-haul game.

The Cash Register Is Finally Ringing

Deliveries are not just bragging rights; they turn into real revenue.

More jets out the door means more cash, which Boeing badly needs to chip away at debt and keep the lights on for dividends.

August alone saw 42 of the 737 MAX, nine Dreamliners, and several 777s hit the runway. That mix tells investors the recovery is spreading across the fleet, not riding on one product.

The Backlog That Buys Time

Nearly 6,000 aircraft are waiting in line, a backlog that stretches years into the future. That is the kind of pipeline most industries would kill for.

Add in over 700 fresh orders this year, and the story shifts from “can Boeing survive” to “how fast can they deliver.” That backlog is both a safety net and a slingshot.

What Investors Should Take Away

Boeing is not out of the woods yet, but momentum is real.

If it can keep the pace, investors may finally stop worrying about whether this company can stand and start focusing on how high it can climb.

Geopolitical tensions and record highs in the Nasdaq are fueling a rush into U.S.-based AI leaders.

Smart money is targeting companies with real revenue, deep AI integration, and defense potential.

Figma (NYSE: FIG) was the shiny new kid on Wall Street when it IPO’d, blasting 150% higher on day one.

Fast forward, the stock is now down more than 55%, and investors are asking the awkward question: Is this still a rocket ship, or just another overhyped tech name running out of fuel?

The Design Darling’s Edge

Here’s why Figma matters: it cracked a problem Adobe never really solved — real-time design collaboration.

Designers and engineers can actually work in the same space without tripping over each other.

That explains $900 million in revenue and a juicy 129% net retention rate. Customers are not just sticking around, they’re spending more.

Earnings Were a Buzzkill

Then came the first earnings report. Sales jumped 41%, but profits flopped and Wall Street shaved 20% off the stock overnight.

Even so, analysts still see upside toward $70, arguing the selloff was more tantrum than death sentence.

Cash in the Bank, Time on the Clock

Figma’s sitting on $1.6 billion in cash with barely any debt. Adobe once tried to buy it for $20 billion, back when revenue was half what it is now.

That math makes today’s $25 billion valuation look a lot less crazy.

Investor Edge

It’s ugly now, no doubt. But if you’re the kind who can stomach bruises for bigger rewards, Figma’s drop feels less like a red flag and more like an open door.
