AI may be the most important new computer technology ever, but AI needs a lot of

processing speed and that gets expensive fast.

Upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI.

OCI is the single platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.

Square was born out of the last recession where we saw our customer struggle who were looking for a way to never miss a sale to use credit card to process with customers where that was historically done with cash.

And we're looking for ways to grow their business over time.

And so that's the journey we've been on now for more than a decade with Sellers.

Welcome to the Barron Streetwise Podcast.

I'm Jack Howe.

The voice you just heard is Amrita Ahuja.

She's the chief financial officer of a company called Square. It went public five years ago at $9 a share,

and the early stock performance wasn't great, but now the stock price is over $200.

That makes Square about as valuable as Caterpillar or CVS or General Electric. In a moment, we'll learn more about why investors are going

so gaga for square stock. And we'll say just a few words about sizing up stocks that recently went public, like AirB&B and Doordash.

Listening in is our audio producer Meta, hi Meta.

Hey, Jack.
