Apple (AAPL) "executed well enough," says David Nicholson, "and that's enough." The company posted record quarterly revenue yet again but its services revenue came in-line. However, David sees a "tectonic shift" taking place with its partnership in Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Gemini that he suggests investors not ignore. He sees Gemini insulating margins from Nvidia (NVDA). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Kevin Davitt lays out his expectations for Apple (AAPL) earnings and post-report moves after Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) moved opposite ways. He explains why the SEC has expanded the Monday and Wednesday expiration cycles and the work that Nasdaq has done to assist. He calls it a “demand-driven expansion” as more investors are accessing options, and says “ultimately, we have to balance the desire to grow the market…with the demand for an orderly marketplace.” ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Don Nesbitt talks about how Apple (AAPL) faces a critical earnings test as investors weigh the growth of its high-margin services segment against the hardware dominance of the iPhone. While Western Digital (WDC) and other suppliers benefit from data center demand, Apple must navigate these input costs alongside a complex regulatory environment. The discussion also focuses on the company's competitive standing against Huawei in China and the potential impact of tariffs on the bottom line. Don examines how the relationship between CEO Tim Cook and the Trump administration might mitigate trade headwinds in the U.S. market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Daniel Rubino with Windows Central offers his perspective on the first half of Mag 7 companies reporting earnings this week. For Microsoft (MSFT), he believes the enterprise tech firm remains in a "great position" due to its Azure cloud platform and multi-modal AI approach. As for Apple (AAPL), Daniel sees why the company took a step back from AI but remains on the sidelines when it comes to determining if it will pay off. He later explains why Meta Platforms (META) isn't in as strong of a positioning as the most bullish analysts believe. ======== 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 a wild Tuesday in the options pits where the "usual suspects" shared the stage with some massive earnings-driven volatility. While the broader market volume was steady, individual names like Micron (MU) and UnitedHealth (UNH) stole the spotlight with explosive moves and unusual paper. The Countdown Highlights: The Nvidia Standard: Even on a "light" day, Nvidia (NVDA) holds the #1 spot with 1.46 million contracts. We look at the $190 calls as traders bet on a return to the mid-session highs. UNH's Earnings Crater: The healthcare giant plummeted nearly 20% following a disappointing outlook. We dive into the massive open interest on the $600 calls—expiring in 2027—and ask: is this a bold recovery play or a massive hedge? Micron is "On Fire": Closing up another 5.4%, Micron's $420 calls are fetching nearly $10.00. How much gas is left in this AI-fueled tank? Tesla Tumbles (in Volume): In a rare twist, Tesla gets kicked to the #4 spot with volume levels roughly half of its daily average. Mark analyzes why the $440 calls are seeing "light" action. Deep Dive into the Tape: From Coreweave (CORW) continuing its repeat rally to Apple (AAPL) seeing rare meaty put action, we track the flow that actually impacts your P&L.

Chris Versace is homing in on guidance from Mag 7 earnings reports. Microsoft (MSFT) needs to show monetization and a higher backlog. Meta Platforms (META) needs to update investors on their advertising strategies and give more info on their subscription plans. Apple (AAPL) is generally expected to have a good quarter, but Chris is a little concerned about their outlook. He hopes to see an AI-enabled Siri in the near future. Otherwise, he likes Eaton (ETN) and is closely watching CoreWeave (CRWV). ======== 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

With four of the Mag 7 companies reporting earnings this week, Ben Bajarin says the key aspect uniting all of them is "shape of demand." With AI infrastructure expected to go "up and to the right," Ben poses the question as to how much of AI's buildout is already priced in to Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) shares. However, he believes Apple (AAPL) can still benefit from its current positioning. One of Ben's biggest question marks on the future of AI is the electricity needed to power it. ======== 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

President Trump exhibiting his "Art of the Deal" tactics at Davos shouldn't worry investors, says Chris Versace. He explains how you can brace for more volatility expected ahead. As for next week's Mag 7 earnings, Chris points to AI adoption and CapEx spending as the most important metrics to watch. He sees Apple (AAPL) trading sideways for now as it finds its footing in AI. Chris also touches on Broadcom's (AVGO) potential to join the Mag 7. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The options tape was lighting up on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, as the market clawed back from a bruising session. Tech roared back to life, led by a historic run in Intel (INTC) and a massive upside move in AMD. Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active names and the "Hot Options" driving the flow. On Today's Report: The Semiconductor Warpath: Micron (MU) continues its rampage, closing up 6.6% as traders pile into the 400 calls. Intel's Epic Run: INTC surges nearly 12% to close at $54.25. We look at the "outlandish" March 60 calls that aren't looking so crazy anymore. AMD Rocking: Up nearly 8% today, AMD put up 1.1 million contracts. Are the 250 calls too rich for your blood? The Tesla Appropriate Strike: TSLA climbs back over $430 on the heels of Greenland headlines. We look at the massive paper in the 420 calls. Nvidia Retakes the Crown: NVDA is back at #1 with 2.38 million contracts. Will the 185s hold through the end of the week? Plus: Analysis of flow in Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Palantir (PLTR), Apple (AAPL), and Netflix (NFLX).

It's a massive Thursday on the Hot Options Report (THOR) as host Mark Longo breaks down one of the most active trading sessions of 2026 so far. With nearly 800,000 contracts required just to break into the Top 10, the tape was on fire. We dive into the "on-again, off-again" dance between Nvidia and China, Intel's wild 25% year-to-date run, and a strange wave of deep-in-the-money and out-of-the-money puts dominating the tape in Apple, Microsoft, and Netflix ahead of Friday's expiration. The Top 10 Breakdown #1: NVIDIA (NVDA): Still the undisputed king with 2.76M contracts. Rallying 2% on China export optimism, traders are eyeing the $190 strike for tomorrow's close. #2: Tesla (TSLA): A tug-of-war at $438. Over 100k contracts traded at the $450 strike. Can the bulls reclaim that level by the bell? #3: Netflix (NFLX): "The Widowmaker" puts up 1.3M contracts. Significant interest in the $105 OTM puts expiring tomorrow. #4: AMD: Substantial volume in the $235 calls despite a close below $228. Are traders "rolling the bones" or getting trapped? #5: Apple (AAPL): 1.08M contracts. Unusual activity in the $270 ITM puts as the "Fruit Company" sells off. #6: Meta (META): Bucking the "tech wreck" to rally back to $620. Funky paper hitting the $650 OTM puts. #7: Microsoft (MSFT): A rough start to the year continues. We analyze 75,000 contracts of the deep-in-the-money $495 puts. #8: MicroStrategy (MSTR): "The Monster" gives back some gains. 875,000 contracts on the tape with heavy action in the $175 calls. #9: Intel (INTC): Up 25% YTD but cooling off today. Is the "closing paper" at the Jan $50 strike a sign of a local top? #10: AbbVie (ABBV): Breaking into the Top 10 on X-Div action with 171k contracts in the Jan $210 calls. Key Takeaways & Market Intel Semiconductor Sentiment: Between Nvidia's China news and Intel's massive YTD surge, chips continue to drive the lion's share of options volume. Expiration Fever: A recurring theme of massive put volume across Big Tech (Apple, Microsoft, Netflix) suggests high-stakes positioning ahead of the Friday options expiration. Market Heat: Why 800k contracts is the "new normal" for the Top 10 in 2026.

Join Mark Longo for the Friday, January 16th edition of the Hot Options Report as he breaks down a "banger" of a day in the options market. On a day where it took a massive 779,000 contracts just to break into the Top 10, the tape was dominated by explosive moves in semiconductors and some truly wild corporate "shenanigans." Today's Top Options Trading Stories: The Wolf Speed Phenomenon: Ticker WOLF shocks the market by kicking Nvidia and Tesla to the curb for the #1 spot. With 3.44 million contracts traded, the action was fueled by corporate restructuring fallout and a massive 1.14 million block of Jan 2 Puts. * The Semiconductor Surge: It was a banner day for chips. Micron (MU) popped nearly 8%, SMCI rallied 11%, and AMD saw heavy volume despite a late-day fade. We look at the strikes that paid off and the ones that left traders sweating. Tech Titan Tumble: Major names like Apple (AAPL) and Palantir (PLTR) came under pressure, leading to heavy premium-selling activity in near-term weekly options. Tesla & Nvidia Update: Even with massive volume, these perennial leaders fell to #2 and #3. We analyze the heavy interest in Nvidia's 190 calls and Tesla's 440 strike as traders fought for position. Hot Trade Insights: Micron (MU): A happy day for the 360 call buyers who caught the $26 surge. SMCI: High-velocity trading in the 30.5 calls as the stock cleared $32. Intel (INTC): A deep dive into the 50 strike that paper has been watching for weeks. For even more deep-dive data into today's options tape, visit TheHotOptionsReport.com .

Datavault AI CEO, Nathaniel Bradley, considers TSMC (TSM) the epicenter for the AI trade with critical partners in Nvidia (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL).

Tom White offers an example options trade for TSMC. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

When ChatGPT was released, the company most impacted was supposed to be Google. But over the past year Google has surpassed OpenAI's models and Gemini is gaining market share.

GPUs and TPUs will be the semiconductor story moving forward, says Investopedia's Caleb Silver, pointing to Mag 7 giants Nvidia (NVDA) and Alphabet (GOOGL) being at the center of it. He expects Google's TPUs stay largely centralized for Gemini but sees potential for expansion, especially for Big Tech peers like Apple (AAPL). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Dale Smothers believes the markets are correcting to the upside after "overreactions" against the A.I. CapEx story and FOMC uncertainties. That said, he believes markets won't see as stellar of gains in 2026 compared to 2025. However, Dale pounds the table on the A.I. trade as long as use cases develop. He sees Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) rallying strong in the coming year after serving as Mag 7 laggards in 2025. He adds that Nvidia (NVDA) will continue to dominate due to its GPU business. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
