There are three princes in the autonomous taxi race: Google’s Waymo, Tesla, and Amazon’s Zoox. But who will win and claim the crown? All the smartest investors want to know.

Luckily for them, this week Derek Reilly drops by Stock Club, fresh off the CES trade show, where he saw the latest self-driving tech.

Derek believes Waymo is the gold standard, having achieved Level 4 autonomy thanks to its use of lidar, radar, cameras, and sophisticated mapping. With its expansion focused on dense urban areas, he thinks adoption will look like a hockey stick. But hot on its heels is Zoox, Amazon’s purpose-built autonomous vehicle (imagine a fridge on wheels).

While Tesla may have been first to market, Derek feels its decision to forgo lidar could undermine its safety and performance. Skipping lidar may have made its system cheaper, easier to scale, and sleeker in design—but using multiple sensors helps ensure performance regardless of conditions.

When it comes to seeing any of these providers on the streets of Ireland, it will likely be a few years yet. The United States is an easier testing ground, with standardized road signs and lenient regulations. The same cannot be said for the EU.

Beyond taxis, NVIDIA’s “Alpamayo” chip could help all car manufacturers work toward autonomy, making it a compelling pick-and-shovel play in the space. But telling someone NVIDIA is a great stock isn’t exactly breaking news.

Derek does highlight, however, a slew of autonomous-driving stocks focused on software, processors, data storage, and lidar sensors—for those looking for names outside the Magnificent Seven.

Salesforce, Workday, HubSpot, Atlassian, ServiceNow, Adobe, and more are all down in the dumps.

Is the age of B2B software supremacy at an end?

Long favored for their revenue growth and strong margin profiles, many of these stocks have benefited from (and struggled with) lofty valuations. But AI—and the advent of “vibe coding”—is putting their moats under threat, so Mike and Emmet dig in to determine which software giants are oversold and which may be entering terminal decline.

The one thing they agree on: being mission-critical makes all the difference.

Software that provides systems of record, essential workflows, or cybersecurity is unlikely to be disrupted by internal tools built with Claude Code. As Emmet puts it, “outsiders are confusing creation with responsibility.” Most large organizations have complex, layered tech stacks that must be consistently maintained and cannot be readily replaced. It’s far more likely that existing providers will add AI capabilities. This argument has made CrowdStrike, Adobe, and Atlassian appealing to Emmet.

Beyond this, Mike believes software specialists creating tools for tight verticals and peculiar niches are unlikely to be upended by AI newcomers, as their markets are too small to attract meaningful attention. This has kept Constellation Software on his watchlist.

However, both agree that non-essential business software, like Notion or Typeform, could be on the chopping block.

We wrap with an edition of Follow Prophet.

This week, Emmet is joined by a legend in financial publishing, Porter Stansberry. Porter is a master at recognizing and managing financial risk—and educating the public along the way. He even delivered positive returns during the 2008 financial crisis.

Porter shares his bull and bear case for America, weighing freedom of opportunity against excessive borrowing. He’s wary of U.S. Treasuries and worries the country could face a technical default similar to those in 1933 and 1971. He also outlines his views on the A.I. bubble, drawing lessons from the Dot-Com era.

Tune in to hear why Porter believes corporate spinoffs are underappreciated investments, the role of gold in your portfolio, and which psychological traits differentiate successful investors.

If you are one of the 800,000 people in Ireland who do not have a workplace pension, your paycheck may be a bit lighter this month. This week, Ireland’s Auto-Enrolment Pension Scheme (a.k.a. MyFutureFund) launched, aiming to address the shortcomings of the State Pension. If you are part of this cohort, 1.5% of your gross salary is now being directed into a retirement account.

Luckily for Stock Club listeners, we’re joined by Ralph Benson from MoneyCube to walk you through all the details.

With an ageing population and inflation on the rise, auto-enrolment is a key way Europeans can help ensure their comfort in retirement — but there’s a lot to unpack.

One especially important point: if you’re in the highest tax bracket in Ireland, you may be leaving money on the table by relying solely on auto-enrolment. Additionally, fund selection is fairly limited, giving you little control over where your money is invested.

Some questions we answer:

• What should I do if I’m an employer?
• Will I be enrolled if I’m self-employed?
• My employer hasn’t spoken to me about auto-enrolment or MyFutureFund — should I ask them about it?
• Should I start my own personal pension or stick with auto-enrolment?
• Can I have both a personal pension and auto-enrolment?
• Is auto-enrolment good for Ireland’s overall pension market?
• Will it have a positive knock-on effect on Ireland’s investing culture?

If you find yourself in auto-enrolment, you won’t want to miss this episode.

If you thought last week was a treat, Mike and Emmet are here to double your luck. They bring you six more stocks to fill out your portfolio across different tastes and risk factors. Check in with your needs and add to your shortlists.

We’ll pitch you:

1. A Magnificent Seven member on the up and up in 2026
2. A biotech—reasonable or risky
3. A stock with nothing to do with AI (no bubbles here)

Magnificent Seven

Google (Alphabet) (NASDAQ: GOOG)

He can’t pitch Tesla twice in the same month, so despite trying to avoid the AI bubble, Emmet couldn’t resist pitching Google—especially as Google Gemini appears to be gaining ground on OpenAI. It’s certainly the king of data, and its financial health is leaps and bounds ahead of most AI incumbents.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)

Diversification rules the day, and some speculative bets still bake growth into this mega-cap. With chips and automation in the works, Amazon could still manage a second (even a third) act.

Biotech

Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR)

A major player in healthcare, diagnostics (its largest segment by revenue), and life sciences. Mike likes it for its diversification and razor-and-blade model, plus it has seen healthy improvement over the last few quarters. Emmet thinks it might be the best company you’ve never heard of.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXRX)

An incredibly risky biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing drugs using AI. It targets orphan diseases—those affecting fewer than 250,000 people. Its revenue is lumpy, and it remains unprofitable.

Nothing to Do with AI (Snooze City)

Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM)

Trucks, bins, holes in the ground—a perfect Peter Lynch “disgusting” stock. It’s essential and unsexy, but a consistent performer with rock-solid fundamentals and a healthy dividend.

Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE: BROS)

An easy-to-understand coffee chain in the midst of major expansion. Focused on the drive-thru market, it owns most of its locations (rather than franchising) and has posted solid 6% same-store sales growth.

This week, Mike and Emmet take a step back to discuss the broader market landscape heading into 2026 and what industries they’re watching.

2025 was a pretty spectacular year for the S&P so its normal to feel the party can’t go on forever. Mike reminds investors that corrections are a normal part of investing—and that the best preparation is owning businesses you’re willing to hold through a downturn, while keeping some cash on hand to take advantage of bargains if markets pull back.

Emmet strikes a more optimistic note, arguing that the rally may have room to continue as corporate earnings have largely delivered so far. That said, the market’s confidence could be tested if Nvidia takes a stumble. But there is still some value out there, only 2 of the Magnificent 7 outperformed the market.

Emmet then checks in with Tesla, one of his longest held stocks. He’s done with flashy demos and wants to see real products hit the market—particularly in autonomous driving. Overall car sales are slowing so its time for Elon to walk the walk and support the company’s lofty valuation.

Mike highlights an area of healthcare he’s keeping a close eye on: treatments for opioid use disorder. With U.S. government funding for treatment programs expanding, this could become a meaningful tailwind for pharmaceutical companies operating in the space—many of which have already appeared across MWS services.

We wrap up with a fresh edition of Follow Prophet.
