The rise of artificial intelligence (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ai#NYSE">AI</a>) and cloud computing has revolutionized business operations while also increasing cybersecurity risks. As threats become more advanced, AI-driven security solutions are now crucial for safeguarding sensitive data, preventing breaches and detecting fraud in real-time.
This shift has positioned AI-powered cybersecurity as a key long-term investment theme, driving growth opportunities for leading companies like CrowdStrike CRWD &amp; Cloudflare Inc NET.
<h2>What is Cloud AI?</h2>
Cloud AI refers to AI tools and services that run on cloud computing platforms like Google Cloud, which is part of Google&#39;s parent company, Alphabet Inc. GOOGL; Amazon Web Services (AWS), a division of Amazon AMZN; and Microsoft Azure, a division of Microsoft MSFT. Instead of installing software on a personal computer or a company&#39;s servers, businesses can use AI-powered tools hosted in the cloud to analyze massive amounts of data, detect anomalies and make security decisions.
<h2>How AI is Revolutionizing Cybersecurity</h2>
Traditional cybersecurity tools rely on rules and signatures to detect threats, which means they need to be updated regularly to recognize new attacks. However, cybercriminals are constantly finding new ways to break into systems. AI-powered cybersecurity, on the other hand, learns and adapts to new threats without human intervention.
To highlight some of the key benefits, AI-powered cybersecurity enables real-time threat detection, instantly identifying suspicious activities within networks to prevent data breaches before they occur. AI can also take immediate action through automated incident response, such as blocking malicious connections or isolating compromised systems without human intervention. Additionally, AI plays a crucial role in fraud prevention, detecting fraudulent activities in banking, e-commerce and online transactions with high accuracy. One of its most significant advantages is zero-day attack defense, where AI identifies and mitigates never-before-seen cyber threats, ensuring proactive security against evolving cyber risks.
<h2>Bet on Two AI Cybersecurity Leaders: CRWD &amp; NET</h2>
Considering the backdrop, investors should include these two AI Cybersecurity stocks in their portfolios.
CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike&#39;s AI-native cybersecurity platform enables businesses and governments to proactively detect and stop cyber threats before they escalate. Its cloud-based Falcon platform integrates AI-driven threat intelligence, identity protection and next-gen SIEM, driving rapid enterprise adoption.

Its platform mitigates DDoS attacks, enhances Zero Trust architecture and delivers high-performance AI-powered security. With a scalable, efficient network and increasing enterprise adoption, #2 Ranked Cloudflare is positioned for long-term growth as cybersecurity, AI and digital modernization remain top enterprise priorities.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has expanded its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43594268/microstrategys-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know">significant new purchase</a>, acquiring 7,633 BTC for approximately $742.4 million at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.strategy.com/press/strategy-acquires-7633-btc-and-now-holds-478740-btc_02-10-2025">acquisition</a>, made between Feb. 3 and Feb. 9, was funded through proceeds from stock sales under its $21 billion equity offering program and its recently completed $563.4 million preferred stock offering.
With this latest purchase, Strategy now holds a total of 478,740 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $65,033 per Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor, Strategy's co-founder and executive chairman, has remained vocal about the company's long-term commitment to Bitcoin, often describing it as the best store of value in the digital age. 
The latest acquisition further cements Strategy&#8217;s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, aligning with its strategy of using public and private funding to accumulate the cryptocurrency.

Why It Matters: The company has consistently leveraged equity sales and debt offerings to fund its purchases, a strategy that has significantly influenced its stock price movements.
The firm has $4.17 billion in shares still available for sale, indicating that additional Bitcoin purchases may be forthcoming. 
Strategy Inc.&#8217;s bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy has received mixed reactions from analysts. 
Mizuho recently began covering the stock with an ‘outperform' rating and set a price target of $515, describing the company as a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43333849/microstrategy-is-a-lever-for-the-believer-says-mizuho-initiates-coverage-on-bitcoins-levered-play-with-an-outperform-rating#:~:text=MSTR%20has%20a%20consensus%20'buy,%2C%20implying%20a%2075.57%25%20upside.">Lever for the Believer</a>&#8221; in Bitcoin, emphasizing its appeal to investors who view Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
Despite this optimism, questions persist regarding the sustainability of Strategy&#8217;s valuation, particularly in relation to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. 
Some market observers have raised concerns about whether the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43545769/microstrategy-rebrands-as-strategy-unveils-new-logo-and-bitcoin-focused-identity">company's stock price accurately reflects its assets</a>

Corporate America is cheering the strongest earnings season in three years, with S&amp;P 500 companies posting a 16.4% year-over-year earnings growth rate in fourth quarter of 2024—the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">best since late 2021. </a>
Yet, despite the robust numbers, investor optimism is tempered by renewed trade uncertainty. 
President Donald Trump's tariff plans have become a dominant theme on earnings calls, raising concerns about rising costs and supply chain disruptions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Surge: S&amp;P 500 Posts Strongest Growth Since 2021</h3>
The S&amp;P 500's blended earnings growth rate for fourth quarter 2024 stands at 16.4%, according to FactSet&#8216;s latest data, significantly outpacing initial forecasts. If this number holds, it will mark the strongest annual earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2021.
So far, 62% of S&amp;P 500 companies have reported earnings, with 77% surpassing earnings-per-share estimates and 63% exceeding revenue forecasts. The average earnings surprise stands at 7.5%, comfortably above the 10-year average of 6.7%.
The average earnings surprise was 7.5%, below the 5-year average of 8.5% but above the 10-year one of 6.7%.
FactSet highlighted that the earnings outlook has improved as more companies report results. 
&#8220;On Dec. 31, the estimated (year-over-year) earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 for Q4 2024 was 11.8%. Eight sectors are reporting higher earnings today (compared to December 31) due to positive EPS surprises,&#8221; FactSet wrote. 
Among the standout sectors and companies:
<ul>
<li>Financials: Earnings soared 51.2%, led by strong bank results from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>).</li>
<li>Consumer Discretionary: Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) fueled 24.6% sector growth after reporting EPS of $1.86, well above the $1.49 estimate.</li>
<li>Communication Services: Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) led 30.2% growth, posting EPS of $8.02, smashing expectations of $6.76.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Fears Surge as Key Business Concern</h2>
While earnings have surprised to the upside, 146 S&amp;P 500 companies have mentioned "tariffs" during their earnings calls—the highest number since mid-2019, according to FactSet. 
If the current trend continues, the fourth quarter of 2024 could set a 10-year record for the number of companies discussing tariff-related concerns.
Industrials have been at the center of the discussion, with 39 companies citing tariff risks. The materials and utilities sectors have also been hit hard, with more than 80% of companies in these industries addressing the issue.
With Trump imposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports</a> and hinting at reciprocal tariffs on all countries, businesses are struggling to gauge the potential impact. 
Some executives have warned of higher costs, supply chain disruptions, and margin pressure, but many remain uncertain about the ultimate financial toll.
Among the S&amp;P 500 firms providing forward guidance, 30 have chosen to exclude tariff effects altogether due to the unpredictable nature of trade policy, while 21 have incorporated tariff risks into their outlooks but widened their forecast ranges to account for potential volatility.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Muted Market Reaction Despite Strong Earnings</h3>
Despite the stellar earnings reports, stock price reactions have been subdued. Companies that beat EPS estimates have seen their stock prices rise by just 0.3% on average, well below the five-year average of 1.0%. 
Meanwhile, stocks missing estimates have dropped 2.4%, slightly worse than the five-year average decline of 2.3%.
&#8220;To date, the market is rewarding positive earnings surprises reported by S&amp;P 500 companies for Q4 less than average and punishing negative earnings surprises reported by S&amp;P 500 companies for Q4 slightly more than average,&#8221; FactSet wrote.
The uncertainty surrounding tariffs may be playing a role in this muted reaction. 
Investors, while encouraged by strong earnings, appear hesitant to fully price in optimism amid concerns over potential disruptions to supply chains and rising input costs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead: Will Tariffs Derail Growth?</h3>
Wall Street analysts currently expect S&amp;P 500 earnings to grow 8.7% in the first quarter of 2025 and 10.2% in the second quarter. Yet, those forecasts could come under pressure if tariffs begin to weigh on corporate margins and consumer demand.
For now, corporate America is delivering some of the strongest earnings growth in years, but the real test may come in the months ahead as trade tensions escalate.

Microbot Medical shares are trading lower after the company announced a $13 million registered direct offering.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) shares surged after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43588368/rockwell-automation-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">better-than-expected first-quarter results.</a>
Sales fell 8.4% year over year and slid 7.6% organically to $1.881 billion, in line with the consensus of $1.881 billion.
Segment Details: Intelligent Devices sales declined 13.1% to $806 million, Software &amp; Control fell 12.4% to $529 million, and Lifecycle Services rose 5% to $546 million.
Total ARR grew 11%. Adjusted EPS was $1.83 (-10% YoY), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the analyst consensus of $1.59.</a>
Total segment operating earnings for the quarter fell 10% year-over-year to $321 million. Segment operating margin declined slightly to 17.1% from 17.3%, impacted by lower sales volume, though partially offset by cost reductions and margin expansion efforts.
Operating cash flow was $364 million, up from $33 million year over year. Free cash flow reached $293 million, compared to a $35 million outflow last year. The increase was mainly due to no payout of incentive compensation in the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of fiscal 2025 related to fiscal 2024 performance.
&#8220;From a demand perspective, we are encouraged by better-than-expected order performance in the quarter with sequential growth across all regions and business segments. While there is still some macroeconomic and policy uncertainty weighing on customers' capex plans, Rockwell won multi-million dollar strategic orders across key industries, especially in the U.S., our home market,&#8221; commented Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO.
&#8220;Q1 margins and EPS came in well above our expectations this quarter, reflecting some early benefits of Rockwell&#8217;s renewed focus on operational excellence and cost discipline,&#8221; added Moret.
The company repurchased 0.4 million shares for $99 million during the quarter. As of December 31, $1.2 billion remained under existing repurchase authorizations.
Return on Invested Capital for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was 14.5%, down from 18.5% in the prior year, primarily due to lower pre-tax net income.
FY25 Outlook updates: Rockwell continues to expect adjusted EPS of $8.60 – $9.80 versus the $9.40 estimate.
The company lowered sales midpoint expectations to ~$8.1 billion from the prior view of ~$8.2 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">versus the $8.225 billion estimate.</a>
The company updated fiscal 2025 reported sales growth range to (5.5)% &#8211; 0.5% due to ~(1.5)% FX impact to sales, reaffirmed organic sales growth range of (4)% &#8211; 2%.
Price Action: ROK shares are trading higher by 9.36% at $293.51 at the last check Monday.

Dow Gains 100 Points; McDonald's Shares Rise After Q4 Results

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) is set to report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VRTX/earnings">fourth quarter earnings</a> after the market closes Monday. Biotech investors are bracing for impact.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="486" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10085744/Screenshot-2025-02-10-at-7.27.22-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-774596" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10085744/Screenshot-2025-02-10-at-7.27.22-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10085744/Screenshot-2025-02-10-at-7.27.22-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
The stock has climbed 15.66% year-to-date, recovering from last year's volatility. With selling pressure creeping in, the question is whether this rally has legs, or if it&#8217;s time for a reset.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street's Expectations: Solid Numbers Or A Reality Check?</h2>
Wall Street expects Vertex to post EPS of $4.03 on revenue of $2.78 billion, per <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data. 
But beyond the numbers, the real focus is on the company's upcoming drug launches and how they could fuel future growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pipeline Watch: Can Alyftrek And Suzetrigine Deliver?</h2>
JPMorgan analyst Jessica Fye sees 2025 as a make-or-break year for Vertex.
The company is rolling out Alyftrek, its latest cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment and preparing for a potential suzetrigine launch in acute pain. Investors will be watching management's commentary on these new products closely, especially after suzetrigine's mixed Phase II results in LSR (large sensory neuropathy).
Fye expects a solid launch for Alyftrek, modeling $376 million in 2025 revenue though but suzetrigine's adoption remains uncertain, with pricing a key factor.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VRTX Stock Technicals: Bullish, But With Risks</h2>
Technicals are giving mixed signals. VRTX stock is trading at $469.32, above its eight-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, flashing buy signals across the board.
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator is bullish. RSI (relative strength index) at 62.06 suggests there&#8217;s still room to run.
But selling pressure is creeping in, hinting at potential turbulence ahead.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Vertex Stock Keep Its Momentum?</h2>
Vertex needs to deliver more than just a solid quarter though investors want confidence in its 2025 pipeline. Any slip-up in guidance could shake the stock's recent momentum. Stay tuned.
