De'Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine review: Elevated one-touch coffee
In recent years, I've come to appreciate coffee much more than I did as a regular Starbucks Vanilla Latte drinker (no hate, they're still delicious). I've started to branch out into the world of local coffee shops and small-batch beans, and the flexibility that comes with learning how to craft my own beverages at home.

That said, I'm still getting the hang of the correct ratios of beans to water to milk needed for the perfect drinks, which is why I've defaulted to using a Nespresso Vertuo machine for the past few years. It's quick, convenient and simple to use, but lately I've found myself interested in trying out a machine that offers more versatility and customization — not to mention the freedom to venture beyond Nespresso pods.

Setup of this De'Longhi espresso machine was pretty quick and simple, as the touch screen displayed step-by-step instructions to get started. The machine walks you through everything from attaching the coffee bean hopper to running a pre-clean cycle and creating user profiles. Since my husband and I will both be using this machine, we created separate profiles where we can each save our favourite drinks, intensity settings and bean preferences. All in all, we went from unboxing the machine to drinking a trial espresso in about 15 minutes.

Is It Time to Just Buy Nike Stock as a Turnaround Takes Hold?
It's been frustrating to be a Nike (NYSE: NKE) investor the past few years, but investors cheered after new CEO Elliott Hill indicated that the worst was now behind the company after it reported its fiscal fourth quarter results. Nike shares surged on the results, which topped low expectations, although the stock is still down on the year and more than 20% lower over the past five years. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Let's delve into Nike's recent earnings to see why now is a good time to pick up shares in the iconic sneaker and apparel maker. The worst is over Hill, who has been on the job for less than a year, has been working hard to help turn around Nike's business following the missteps of former CEO John Donahoe. Hill's predecessor neglected innovation and pushed the company's classic footwear segment, which consists of brands like Air Jordan and Air Force 1. He also made a big direct-to-consumer push while neglecting important wholesale relationships. Hill has been working to rewind the damage done by Donahoe through his Win Now action plan. The main tenet of his plan is to return Nike to its innovation roots. He has reorganized the business to drive sports-specific innovation across its three main brands: Nike, Jordan, and Converse. The company has seen some early traction with new innovation, with its Vomero 18 running shoe becoming a $100 million-plus franchise with strong sell-through just 90 days after launch. The company is also working to mend its relationship with wholesalers. On this end, it recently announced a new partnership with Amazon, where the e-commerce giant will carry a select assortment of Nike footwear, apparel, and accessories. Nike also hired retail marketing, visual merchandising, and account managers to work with large wholesalers to help with their presentations and create better consumer connections. In addition, the company is looking to implement sharper marketplace segmentation in order to serve its customers at different price points. At the same time, it is looking to position Nike Digital and Nike Direct as premium destinations. This means you might be able to get some lower-priced Nike products at a retailer like Kohl's, while Nike will have its high-end products with the newest technology on its apps and in its stores. While Nike's actual results were still weak, Hill said it's time to turn the page and that he expects Nike's results to improve moving forward. For fiscal Q4, Nike's revenue declined 12% to $11.1 billion, with Nike brand revenue down 11% to $10.8 billion. Nike Direct revenue sank 14% to $4.7 billion, as digital sales collapsed 26%. This is largely due to the company repositioning its digital app as a premier destination. Wholesale revenue, meanwhile, dropped 9% to $6.4 billion. China remained a weak spot, with revenue sinking 21% in the quarter to $1.5 billion. Nike has been heavily discounting in China to reset its inventory. North America revenue dipped 11% to $4.7 billion, with apparel sales down 7% and footwear revenue falling 13%. EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) sales sank 9%, while Asia Pacific and Latin America sales decreased by 8%. Heavy discounting to clear inventory continued to weigh on Nike's gross margins, which fell 440 basis points to 40.3%. Between declining sales and gross margins, its earnings per share (EPS) plunged 86% in the quarter to $0.14. The company said that tariffs would be a significant new cost headwind, representing an estimated $1 billion in gross costs. It said the tariffs would hurt its gross margin by 75 basis points this fiscal year, with the bigger impact in the first half. It is currently working with suppliers and retail partners to mitigate the costs and impact on consumers. Is Nike stock a buy? While Nike's progress has not yet shown up in its results, Hill is helping lay the groundwork for the company to get back on track. He's been leaning into innovation, rebuilding wholesale partnerships, repositioning Nike's app and stores as premium destinations, and working to segment the brand into both premium and core offerings depending on the channel. While the stock trades at a pretty hefty valuation, with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 39 times analysts' 2026 estimates, that's largely because Nike's earnings have been depressed. If Hill can get Nike's EPS back to the $3.73 it was in fiscal year 2024, the stock would trade at under 20 times earnings. Nike still has work to do, but now could be a good opportunity to buy the stock when the company is showing signs of a turnaround and the stock is still down on the year.

Which "Magnificent Seven" Stock Makes the Best Buy for the Second Half?
A group of technology stocks, known as the "Magnificent Seven" -- a nod to the 1960 Western -- led stock market gains last year and has started to rebound in recent times. Which one makes the best buy for the second half? The answer to that question is Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), even though the stock has already climbed 800% over the past three years. Let's find out why this top artificial intelligence (AI) stock may still be in the early days of its growth story. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Nvidia's key position in AI Nvidia has played a key role since the first days of the AI boom, and this is because it designs the crucial element that makes AI work: chips. They're known as graphics processing units (GPUs), and they power the fundamental step of training AI models, a process that allows those models to then handle complex tasks and solve real-world problems. So, without these chips, we wouldn't have AI. This helped Nvidia's revenue take off a few years ago, as you can see in the chart below. NVDA Revenue (Annual) data by YCharts. In Nvidia's earlier days, it primarily served the video gaming market, which resulted in progressive growth, but revenue levels were a far cry from today's AI-driven revenue. This is because companies realize the potential of this technology to save them time and money and even help them develop game-changing products and services, so they're pouring investment into AI. And Nvidia, as the leading chip designer, is benefiting. This potential is further illustrated by forecasts calling for the AI market to reach into the trillions of dollars in a few years from now. Importantly, Nvidia isn't just about GPUs. The company has built an AI empire, creating software and networking tools, and it even aims to power the humanoid robots of tomorrow. This expansion is key to Nvidia's growth because it enables the company to benefit from every stage of AI development -- not just the early days of infrastructure ramp-up. Nvidia's annual innovation Meanwhile, Nvidia has also put the focus on innovation to ensure it stays ahead of its rivals. It has pledged to update its chips yearly and has already offered investors visibility into planned launches over the coming three years. Though rivals are carving out market share -- for example, Advanced Micro Devices recently reported a 57% increase in data center quarterly revenue -- Nvidia's innovation should keep it in the top spot. The enormous demand for AI means that others, like AMD, can succeed without truly encroaching on Nvidia's territory. The biggest disappointment for Nvidia and investors at this point (and possibly into the future) is the situation concerning exports to China. The U.S. has blocked chip exports, cutting Nvidia out of the market that represented 13% of its revenue last year. This isn't a non-event, and if the situation remains as is, it limits Nvidia's growth opportunities to some degree. The good news is that Nvidia makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and a great deal in other locations as well, so the export situation doesn't necessarily translate to slow growth for this chip giant. Why buy Nvidia over other Magnificent Seven players? All this sounds positive, but why is Nvidia the best Magnificent Seven buy for the second half? Nvidia remains the best overall AI bet due to its deep presence across every stage of the technology's growth. The world's biggest tech companies turn to Nvidia to power their platforms, and that's unlikely to change, as these customers aim to use the fastest processors available -- and those are likely to have the name Nvidia on them well into the future. Nvidia will accompany these customers as they deploy AI agents within their businesses or develop humanoid robots down the road. At the same time, Nvidia's valuation leaves the stock plenty of room to run. Though it's inched higher in recent weeks, it still trades significantly lower than it did just a few months ago, at 36 times forward earnings estimates compared to more than 50 times. All these elements, from Nvidia's presence across AI to its price today, support my prediction that this stock will roar higher in the second half and over the long run, too.
