Quanta: We rate Quanta Computer Underperform, with PT = NT$250.00.

Google: We rate Google Market-Perform with PT = $385.

Meta: We rate Meta Outperform with PT = $800.

Amazon: We rate Amazon Outperform with PT = $320.

Microsoft: We rate Microsoft Outperform with PT = $647 and expect the stock to continue to move up. It is one of our favorite

stocks, especially now that 1) Azure revenue growth is accelerating in CC (38% in Q2FY26 39% in Q3, 43% in Q4 and guidance

of 45% for Q1FY27); and Office 365 Copilot paid seat growth is accelerating (33% QoQ in Q3 and 50% QoQ in Q4); while

CY26 CAPEX guidance did not increase (down due to accounting to change) and is decelerating.

Oracle: We rate Oracle Outperform with PT = $325. With revenue ramping, RPO increasing, strong margins, and a solid FY27

guide increase the setup is really strong. Given how the stock has reacted to industry-wide AI concerns combined with the

company’s substantial investment; debt and upcoming equity raise the stock is meaningfully undervalued given the risk reward

as we have outlined in detail in our notes.
