What stands out
On Schwab Network Ron Westfall made a simple but useful point: analog chips are getting ignored while they quietly power the automotive and industrial upgrades that actually spend money. He named Analog Devices (ADI) as a pick, arguing sector-wide sell-offs have scared off momentum chasers and left durable near-term tailwinds in vehicle electrification and sensor markets. For investors who equate 'tech' with AI froth, this clip is a reminder that real revenue comes from cars, factories and power management, not just headline-grabbing processors.
