Investment Recommendations
Investors looking to allocate $500 long-term should consider Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) and Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL). Supermicro reported $21.57 billion in revenue for the trailing 12 months, nearly triple its total from two years ago, and expects Q4 net sales between $5.6 billion and $6.4 billion. Duolingo achieved a record $230.7 million in revenue in Q1 2025, a 38% year-over-year increase, with monthly active users exceeding 130 million.
Despite challenges, Supermicro’s competitive advantage lies in its relationships with Nvidia and AMD, while Duolingo is leveraging the growing $125 billion language learning market. With Duolingo’s shares recently down 33% from their May highs, both stocks represent opportunities for investors betting on long-term growth in their respective sectors.
