Amazon (AMZN) "sees where trends are going" and is working on making strong returns for investors, says LikeFolio's Andy Swan regarding the company's AI & AWS buildout. He argues the trend mirrors what Amazon did in the nineties with its inventory — a move that worked in the Mag 7 giant's favor. Andy considers Amazon an "unbelievable" company and a core position for portfolios, even as companies like Walmart (WMT) catch up with its ecommerce business. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The February 2026 STAX report was "bucking the trend" of markets with bullish sentiment in Charles Schwab traders compared to a more bearish Wall Street. Joe Mazzola says clients bought Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and other Big Tech stocks on pullbacks while other investors ran away from them. Similarly, Schwab investors sold energy while others bought. Joe points to telecom stocks like Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) as some of the most sold. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

There are short-term opportunities in the SaaS-pocalypse, says John Freeman, but you need to be careful in the software names you look at. Names he sees rebounding in the space include ServiceNow (NOW), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN). Scott Kessler adds color to the commentary by saying not to paint the entire sector "with a broad brush." Enterprise relationships and platformization are two key signs of strength Scott urges investors to watch for in software companies. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Adam Coons previews Target (TGT) ahead of earnings and comments on whether the company will be successful in its turnaround attempts. He thinks tariffs and recapturing their customers are proving “very, very difficult” as they compete with names like Costco (COST) or Amazon (AMZN) along with higher-end brands. On the other hand, he's bullish on Best Buy (BBY) ahead of new electronic product releases and a very low bar. Tom White offers an example options trade on TGT. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Dave Altavilla offers commentary on Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings minutes following the report. He says the company's record quarter shows that Nvidia is "powering" the AI trade on all fronts and helps ease fears of massive CapEx spending in hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META). Dave also explains why he doesn't see margin compression in the cards for Nvidia. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The "SaaS-pocalypse" has arguments for and against it, says Ali Mogharabi. On the case justifying the sell-off, he notes new AI offerings causing growth outlook concerns that generate enough of a structural shift to rattle software's outlook. Ali makes another case for the sell-off being overdone in cybersecurity stocks like CrowdStrike (CRWD) and defense-centric companies. Ali also weighs on the risks posed to market giants Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Tariffs could go “one of two ways,” says Dale Smothers, arguing that Trump will continue to try to impose similar tariffs after the Supreme Court decision. This could lead to a pause or even a pullback in markets. If the tariffs unwind and force the government to repay tariffs, he calls it essentially a “tax return for the American consumer” that could boost economic activity. He is overweight Nvidia (NVDA) for the long-term and is “buying ahead of earnings.” He thinks Nvidia is “priced for proof” and if they can beat, the market will react “favorably.” Dale also likes Amazon (AMZN). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Ted Thatcher discusses market unease and the state of the broad economy. He's hopeful for the year still, breaking down the latest GDP report and what he thinks investors are missing. Ted covers why he thinks Amazon (AMZN) is an appealing buy here, arguing that the opportunity for AWS within AI is underappreciated, and why it can hit the “singularity” in the robotics revolution first.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Jed Ellerbroek highlights Comfort Systems (FIX) earnings as a sign that AI spending remains “feverish.” His top picks include Amazon (AMZN), which he thinks will benefit from tariffs being struck down on the retail side while their tech side remains strong. HALO, or heavy assets low obsolescence companies, are what investors are looking for in a jittery market. Jed explains how he's sorting winners from losers in the software sector. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active names dominating the tape, including a wild 33% year-to-date run for Micron (MU) and the "artist formerly known as Facebook" showing resilience despite regulatory headlines.

On today's episode of The Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a unique session where volume wasn't "explosive," but the nature of the flow was certainly "weird and wild." From a massive influx of deep-in-the-money (ITM) puts to the "Petroleum Div Day" dominating the energy sector, we're dissecting the tape to see where the big money is moving. On the Docket Today: The Dividend Play: Why Shell (SHEL) and BP hit the top 10 with massive in-the-money call action. Crypto & MSTR: MicroStrategy catches a bid—is the $4.00 premium for the 130 calls a smart play or a sacrifice to the crypto gods?

Jan Rogers Kniffen and Amanda Lai dig into Walmart (WMT) earnings, with Jan calling it the “best retailer in the country” that is performing “extraordinarily well.” He thinks it performed “flawlessly” under its last CEO. Amanda notes that they reported basically in-line and points out that their market cap crossed $1T. Amazon (AMZN) finally ranked ahead of Walmart on sales, but she calls their business mix fundamentally different and thinks it has strong fundamentals.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Sucharita Kodali calls Walmart's (WMT) earnings “incredible” for a business of this size and maturity. “They're not only growing share but they're executing really, really well.” She believes they're benefitting from both ends of the K-shaped economy, possibly taking business from malls or other merchants. She thinks its rivalry with Amazon (AMZN) will continue to be a big story as AMZN beat WMT on sales for the first time. Its ad business makes it one of the biggest media companies in the U.S., she argues.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this daily editorial, we are joined by Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network. As the market navigates a complex period of tech underperformance and shifting investor sentiment, Joel breaks down why the "Magnificent Seven" are losing steam and where the smart money is rotating to start 2026. Key Discussion Points: The Great Rotation Beneath the Surface: While major indices remain near their highs, a significant internal shift is occurring as investors move away from mega-cap tech and into value-oriented sectors that prioritize cash flow and tangible goods. The AI Spending Pivot: Massive capital expenditures by tech giants are no longer being rewarded by the market; instead, investors are looking for "picks and shovels" plays in hardware and infrastructure. Energy and Utility Resurgence: The power requirements for AI data centers are driving a new wave of interest in energy producers and traditional utilities, providing a strong floor for these sectors. A New Trend in Crude Oil: After years of pressure, crude oil and energy ETFs are showing technical signs of a major turn, supported by both value-seeking investors and rising industrial demand. Earnings Season Challenges: The "high bar" set for tech companies is leading to sell-offs even on earnings beats, as guidance fails to justify lofty valuations compared to more stable retail and staple stocks.

Kevin Horner's Technical Tuesday covers the S&P 500 (SPX), Amazon (AMZN), and Amgen (AMGN). On the SPX, he looks at support and resistance levels, and warns that if it breaks down, it could move fast. Amazon is “by no means in a bullish pattern,” but he marks the location of its pullback, calling the $198 level “very interesting.” Amgen is looking to break out of a bull flag, with consolidation over the past week or so. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

"The market is getting a little more anxious" when it comes to the AI trade, says David Nicholson. He believes the big sell-offs in tech giants like Amazon (AMZN) are overdone and caused by weakening market sentiment on ROI expectations. David makes the case as to why the company's AWS cloud remains a poised winner. He later turns other corners in the tech space by previewing Nvidia's earnings and AI's SaaS impact. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

"What we see is clear," says Cory Johnson, Big Tech will spend big on CapEx. He urges investors to follow the money, pointing to chipmakers, networking, and data centers as some of the biggest beneficiaries. Cory adds that risk comes with hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN) not knowing the scope of AI's future impact. One corner of the tech trade he sees as a continuing winner: memory chips like Micron (MU). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Ted Thatcher says the market is struggling to find firm footing as we go through the largest technological buildout in human history. Markets have to digest the huge price tags, he continues, but the Street has reason to question that spend. He thinks Meta Platforms (META) is the best at implementing AI, citing higher ad impressions in its latest report. Ted also covers the outlook for Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL), as well as what he thinks is next for SaaS companies threatened by AI.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The sustainability of Friday's bounce remains in question. Kevin Green suggests the S&P 500 (SPX) is finding temporary support at its 100-day moving average, though elevated volatility and new sellers entering the market indicate a "dead cat bounce" remains a distinct possibility. On the earnings front, Amazon (AMZN) shares experienced volatility following its massive CapEx forecast of $200 billion by 2026. Later, KG examines the crypto space, as Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to defend critical support levels near $55,000. Kevin notes that while the asset has recently mirrored the price action of software stocks, it continues to show signs of decoupling from the broader U.S. equity market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Jason Child, CFO of Arm Holdings (ARM), talks about the company's recent earnings which he says got a boost from mega caps increasing CapEx spending. He explains how Mag 7 giants like Nvidia (NVDA) and Amazon (AMZN) use the company's tech in different ways. As for Arm's licensing revenue miss, Jason reassured investors the current quarter will show a reacceleration. He later notes how agentic AI will offer new opportunity for Arm in 2026. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Rob Deichert and Arun Sundaram walk through Amazon (AMZN) earnings. Arun highlights AWS growth acceleration, which was a “big positive,” but the shock was the $200 billion capex announcement. He thinks the stock will settle as investors realize that Amazon will monetize this spending “as fast as it possibly can.” Rob says there's still “tons of upside” in their ad business. He is also bullish on its capex spending, and notes that he “tends not to bet against Amazon.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Kevin Hincks turns to what he considers a "vital" trading session for Friday. Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet's (GOOGL) massive CapEx projection for 2026 spooked investors and accelerated an already intense week of selling. Kevin's advice: watch the price action throughout Friday, as a rebound can signal a resurgence in the AI trade. Bitcoin and gold also set the foundation for gains ahead of the opening bell. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Amazon (AMZN) set the bar even higher for mega cap CapEx with projections of $200 billion for 2026. Shares of the Mag 7 giant initially sold off following the announcement and earnings miss. Marley Kayden, Sam Vadas, and Kevin Green break down what KG calls a "bad report." Outside of mega caps, George Tsilis joins the Schwab Network crew to look at Reddit (RDDT) and Fortinet's (FTNT) rallies. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Charlie O'Shea previews Amazon (AMZN) earnings and discusses the high bar the Street has set. Amazon's going to have to “hold the line on margins” on the retail side, which may be difficult because it tends to make its money from discounting, he argues. He's incredibly interested in the results this quarter. He lays out spending expectations for AWS, as well as what's riding on their advertising business. “The company's incredibly opaque,” he adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Amazon (AMZN) earnings are in the queue and ready for delivery after the closing bell.

Dryden Pence believes fiscal policy, monetary policy, and industrial policy are all aligning to be “highly stimulative going forward.” He thinks the market will continue to climb and broaden, though the Mag 7 may still lead. He notes that so far earnings have been constructive in 4Q. The nomination of Kevin Warsh to Fed Chair puts another adult in the room, Dryden says. His picks right now include Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and GE Aerospace (GE). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Traders are "setting up for another massive week," says Kevin Hincks. He takes a look at the premarket moves into the start of a new trading week packed with Big Tech earnings. Palantir (PLTR) kicks things off on Monday, AMD Inc. (AMD) on Tuesday, with Mag 7 names in Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) later in the week. Kevin adds that silver and gold's sharp sell-off is "shaking the market" just about everywhere you look. Bitcoin's selling action adds pressure in the crypto space. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Ed Butowsky breaks down UPS Inc. (UPS) earnings, saying they're doing a “brilliant job of re-engineering themselves.” While the company is contracting a little, including ending its work with Amazon (AMZN), “bigger is not always better.” He notes how robot workers are beginning to outnumber human workers in some places, and how that relates to job cuts and restructuring. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
“All the market wants right now is stability and consistency,” says Ted Thatcher, but volatility continues. He argues that Americans' economic outlook is largely based on their ability to access credit and discusses GDP and earnings potential. Key opportunities for investors include “bottlenecks” like Iren (IREN), along with silver and Amazon (AMZN). Iren has recently made several major deals with the Mag 7 and he thinks it is well-placed in the A.I. environment. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Angelo Zino sees Meta Platforms (META) moving the most off this week's round of Mag 7 earnings. He sees the stock on the cheaper side as it trades under 20-times earnings, though Shay Boloor warns the company needs to do more to diversify AI prospects. Though the company doesn't report this week, Shay's Mag 7 earnings pick is Amazon (AMZN) as he sees tremendous upside with AWS. Both Shay and Angelo like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud but admit the stock has the "highest bar" to jump. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
