Ten of the biggest medical device companies in the world are down between 5% and 54% year to date and it has almost nothing to do with their underlying businesses. Abbott Labs (NYSE:ABT), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX), Stryker (NYSE:SYK), Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and more are all suffering from the same thing: money rotating out of quality businesses and into the AI infrastructure trade.
We break down why this is happening, which companies look most interesting at current valuations, and whether this is a genuine long term buying opportunity or a value trap. Plus: small modular reactors and the nuclear energy stocks being backed by Google, Amazon and Microsoft to power the AI data center buildout including the one pick and shovels play that could underpin the entire industry.

This week, Mike and Emmet head to Japan in search of overlooked growth stocks.
Japan is home to some of the world's oldest businesses, with more than 140 companies claiming histories of over 500 years. Many of them have survived by following two simple rules: hold plenty of cash and avoid debt. But after decades of economic stagnation, a new wave of corporate reforms is pushing Japanese businesses to become more growth-oriented and shareholder-friendly.
To uncover some of the market's most promising opportunities, Emmet screens the entire Japanese stock market for companies with market caps below $20 billion, strong returns on equity, high returns on invested capital, and rapidly accelerating revenue growth.
One company that stands out is Sanrio (8136.T), the owner of some of Japan's most recognizable intellectual property. Despite growing revenue at an impressive pace in recent years, its valuation has actually become cheaper relative to its historical averages—a combination investors rarely get to see.
Mike then pitches his favorite company of the bunch: Smaregi (4431.T), a fast-growing software business often described as Japan's answer to Square. While countries like China and South Korea have embraced digital payments, Japan remains surprisingly dependent on cash. As the country pushes toward a cashless future, Smaregi's point-of-sale and merchant software platform could be perfectly positioned to benefit.
The pair also explore VRAIN Solution (135A.T), an AI-powered manufacturing software company helping factories automate quality control and safety inspections, ANYCOLOR (5032.T), one of the most unusual media businesses you'll ever encounter, and BuySell Technologies (7685.T), a fast-growing platform capitalizing on Japan's booming second-hand luxury and collectibles market.
Finally, Emmet shares his favorite idea from the entire list: OneCareer (4377.T), a founder-led recruitment and career platform that combines elements of LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and SaaS software. With revenue growing more than 40% annually and returns on equity continuing to climb, it could be one of the most compelling small-cap growth stories in Japan today.

This week, Mike sits down with Neeraj Khemlani and Matthew Ankrom, the minds behind The Coffee Can Investor, to discuss one of our favorite investing topics: finding and holding stocks capable of returning 100x.
We open with Neeraj and Matthew walking us through the story behind the "coffee can" strategy. Inspired by an old investing experiment, Matt set out to build the ultimate long-term portfolio for his three daughters, a collection of businesses he hopes could one day be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But what exactly makes a 100-bagger?
Drawing on years of research, Matt explains the common traits shared by some of the greatest stock market winners of the last half-century. His research found that many were founder-led, generated recurring revenue, operated in seemingly boring industries, and consistently reinvested capital at high rates for decades.
The vast majority weren't flashy consumer brands or cutting-edge tech companies. Instead, many were business-to-business operators providing mission-critical products and services, think nuts and bolts, seals and gaskets, and industrial supplies.
Of course, finding a 100-bagger is only half the battle. Holding one is much harder.
The average 100-bagger endured drawdowns of roughly 70% on its journey, giving retail investors an edge. Unlike professional fund managers, individual investors aren't forced to think in quarters or even years, they can think in decades.
We also discuss the mathematics of compounding, why exponential growth is so difficult for humans to grasp, and how even Warren Buffett accumulated the vast majority of his wealth later in life.
Finally, Matt shares one of his favorite potential future 100-baggers: TechnologyOne (ASX: TNE), an Australian software business quietly embedding itself into the daily operations of universities and local governments while investing heavily in AI-powered products.
