Axon Enterprise, maker of Tasers, is pushing its research and development team of about 2,200 employees to use AI, as scrutiny of police surveillance tools grows. Chief product and technology officer Jeff Kunins says that by the end of 2026, Axon expects work across product management, design, and software engineering to be compressed by 25% to 30%. Every team has a mandatory 10% productivity gain target. Teams that top 15% will receive stock grants, provided the broader team meets the 10% minimum. Axon has reported ten consecutive quarters of revenue growth above 30%, helped by AI and software sales. Critics have questioned police use of AI tools, and Axon's report-writing software drew complaints about errors. Earlier this month, the Los Angeles City Council voted to delay a pilot of Axon's AI-enabled licence plate readers.

It is widely regarded as a benchmark for growth stocks because it is heavily weighted toward the technology sector. While the broad-based S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.66%) added 323% during the last decade, the Nasdaq-100 added 593%. Listed below are the two best Nasdaq-100 stocks to buy today based on the upside implied by Wall Street's median 12-month target prices as of Oct. 4: * AppLovin (APP +5.13%) has a median target price of $500 per share. That implies 86% upside from its current share price of $268. * Axon Enterprise (AXON -0.37%) has a median target price of $700 per share. That implies 69% upside from its current share price of $413. Here's what investors should know about these stocks. AppLovin: 86% upside implied by Wall Street's median target price. AppLovin is an ad tech company that initially focused on mobile gaming, with products that helped publishers market and monetize applications. But last year, the company expanded into e-commerce advertising with a self-service platform. AppLovin recently started adding generative AI creative tools, and it plans to automate the whole advertising process in the future, from campaign creation to optimization. AppLovin has a key competitive advantage in its Axon recommendation engine. The underlying machine learning models are trained to optimize ad buying in real time based on which users are predicted to take valuable actions. The models become more effective with each new data point, creating a network effect that leads to better recommendations over time. AppLovin reported decent financial results in the second quarter despite narrowly missing top-line estimates. Revenue increased 53% to $1.9 billion, and GAAP net income increased 57% to $3.76 per diluted share. At the midpoint, management expects revenue to total $2.07 billion in the third quarter, implying 47% growth. Wall Street estimates AppLovin's earnings will grow at 35% annually through 2027. That makes the current valuation of 22 times earnings look cheap, and it explains why so many analysts see substantial upside in the stock. Now is a good time to buy a small stake in this ad tech company. Premium Feature Moneyball Superscore ( 5.13 %) $ 13.75 Current Price Key data points. Market Cap Day's Range $ 270.00 - $ 287.20 52wk Range $ 266.84 - $ 738.01 Gross Margin Axon Enterprise: 69% upside implied by Wall Street's median target price. Axon develops public safety products for law enforcement, enterprises, and government agencies. Its hardware portfolio includes conducted energy weapons (Tasers), body-worn cameras, and in-car cameras. Its software portfolio includes products for digital evidence management, records management, emergency communications, and real-time operations. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare signal is flashing again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. If you'd invested $5,000 then, you'd be sitting on $3,041,109 today.* Now, for the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. It's a key player in the $1.8 trillion space race, and with the stock recently sitting 20% off its highs, the window to get in early is closing fast. *Stock Advisor returns as of October 6, 2026. Axon is the market leader in Tasers, body-worn cameras, and digital evidence management software, and the company is supercharging its products with AI features that improve law enforcement productivity and efficiency. For instance, Draft One uses body-worn camera video and generative AI to draft reports. And Axon Fusus uses AI to process video and alert human operators to situations like physical fights and vehicle crashes. Axon reported strong second-quarter financial results that handily beat estimates on the top and bottom lines. Revenue increased 35% to $904 billion, driven strong growth across connected devices and software products, including newer solutions for dispatch, real-time operations, and AI. Meanwhile, non-GAAP EBITDA increased 41% to $242 million. The company also raised its full-year guidance, which now implies 33% revenue growth in 2026. Wall Street expects Axon's adjusted earnings to grow at 35% annually through 2027. That makes the current valuation of 61 times adjusted earnings look rich, but not outrageously expensive. Patient investors with a time horizon of at least five years can buy a few shares today, but I would keep the position relatively small unless the stock drops 20% or so. If that happens, the valuation would be much more attractive. Could AppLovin help you build long-term wealth?
