To complement our contest, we'll be publishing seven head-to-head matchups between stocks; and we'll include the winners in our own 7investing Team entry.

Our third head-to-head matchup is two companies who are embracing artificial intelligence to make their platforms even better, between The Trade Desk (Nasdaq: TTD) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR).

After that, it's the battle of the animals as Crocs (Nasdaq: CROX) takes on American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) in a battle for retail dominance!

Listen to hear the cases for these companies and then head to the 7investing X account to vote for your favorites!
