David Bailin argues that investors are overestimating earnings expectations and underestimating the long-term impact of AI. He explains why hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOGL) remain attractively valued and why the AI buildout and adoption cycle still has plenty of room to run.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Brian Belski of Humilis Investment Strategies discusses what bank earnings could mean for the broader market as leadership expands beyond technology and investors pay closer attention to other sectors amid improving market breadth.Belski says tech investors may need to diversify as elevated expectations make it harder for recent highfliers to continue outperforming. Rather than chasing momentum, he sees better opportunities in high-quality companies that have lagged, including Microsoft (MSFT).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

He discusses growing scrutiny on Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL), highlights value opportunities in ESAB (ESAB) and ONEOK (OKE), and explains why upcoming inflation data could carry more weight than Fed commentary.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Despite the June jobs report coming in weaker than expected, Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon considers the inflation story the main focus of the Fed's forward momentum. He urges investors pay attention to the impact it will have on American wallets, as a significant shift in wages will push the Fed toward stronger interest rate hikes. When it comes to markets, Kevin talks about the "MUSES" versus the "AAMMO" as Micron (MU), Samsung and SK Hynix poses new dynamics for Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META) and other hyperscalers. ======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
With AI spending in Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) not showing any signs of slowdown, Melissa Otto makes the case that there's much more room for the AI trade to run. One of the biggest beneficiaries she sees from the boom: AMD Inc. (AMD). Melissa expects upward revisions in data center revenue in AMD's earnings early next month. Competition from Nvidia (NVDA) and other chipmakers pose a challenge to AMD, though Melissa isn't too concerned. ======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Jay Woods says he's watching key Big Tech charts carefully, including Alphabet (GOOGL), Nvidia (NVDA), and Microsoft (MSFT), the last of which he expresses concern for. He explains how AI spending has shaped investor views on the Mag 7 as all trade well below their record highs. In software, Jay points to "red flags" in Adobe (ADBE) as an AI disruptive company and its uncertain leadership path. He expects Micron (MU) to consolidate around its current levels and sees a greater chance for the S&P 500 (SPX) to drop to 7,000 before rallying to 8,000. ======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Barry Knapp argues the Fed's interest rate strategy is misguided and hurting small businesses while the market begins to self-correct. He points to steady AI spending among firms like Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Oracle (ORCL) as a key signal that markets are reevaluating the tech trade. Barry expects two-year treasury yields to fall as rate hike expectations fade.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this Daily Editorial on The KE Report, I chat with Joel Elconin, co-founder of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss a mixed week in US equities, where he highlights an “unsatisfied bid underneath the market.” On the positive side of the market: Micron Technology (MU) had an amazing day up over 15% after a solid earnings report and estimate beat, and this caused sympathetic buying in SanDisk (SNDK) up almost 22% on the day. It was a big day for hardware stocks. The financial stocks, consumer staples, mixed retail, utilities, biotech (XBI), Caterpillar (CAT) and Deere (DE) all have had constructive moves higher lately. Airline stocks and cruise stocks have been benefitting from the pullback in oil prices. On the negative side of the market: The MAG-7 megacap tech stock leadership has been rolling over lately, with Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) , Meta (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) leading the charge down this week. The SpaceX (SPCX) IPO highlights excessive market speculation and after a very big launch, it has now crashed back down to Earth, with pricing very near now to where it initially came to market; creating a lot of new bagholders. Oil prices have collapsed since the MOU was signed between the US and Iran, but there was a slight lift today in oil and energy stocks on the news that projectiles were shot at a tanker by Iran in the Strait or Hormuz. We debate how the wider market breadth rotating out of the megacap tech stocks into more areas of the market could show a healthier market, but Joel points out with the MAG-7 having a disproportionately high weighting in the S&P and Nasdaq, and with many institutions so heavily weighted to concentrated positions, that it has him leaning more neutral to bearish coming into the summer.

"The whole world is short in storage" of crude oil, says Tucker Perkins, though we likely won't see $60 to $65 per barrel for months. A complete resolution of the U.S.-Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz reopening will still take a long time for oil prices to settles. Tucker adds that the rest of the world suffers significantly more from the conflict than the U.S. It comes as the energy trade's importance grows, seen in Microsoft (MSFT) and Chevron's (CVX) 20-year gas deal to power AI data centers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The big takeaway from the Fed's interest rate decision and following press conference with Kevin Warsh is an intensifying focus on inflation, says Jed Ellerbroek. He believes the task forces announced are a "bid for time" to help stabilize the economy. On AI ROI, Jed says the demand for compute is only accelerating as Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) account for 70% of data center construction. He later turns to winners he sees in the aerospace and defense industry. ======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Just ahead of Oracle's (ORCL) earnings after Wednesday's close, Steven Dickens says the company's backlog will be the biggest metric to watch, along with how it converts it all into revenue. How Oracle builds out AI infrastructure and balancing it with future CapEx are also paramount to Steven, though he doesn't see it as a concern.

Dryden Pence turns his focus to the hyperscalers and their ability to drive profits as the AI trade evolves. In Alphabet (GOOGL), Dryden says he likes to see its investment "toward the future" that will capture "dominant" pieces of the market. Meta Platforms (META) shares continue to move below $600 as it expands AI capabilities, with Dryden saying the Mag 7 company is "behind" on developments. He adds that Microsoft (MSFT) is tied so closely to so many businesses that its growth is "embedded."======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
It was a blood-red day across the markets as major tech giants faced a massive wave of selling. On this episode of The Hot Options Report, host Mark Longo breaks down an incredibly active and spicy session in the options pits, where traders aggressively loaded up on downside protection and faded recent high-flyers. We dive into the data from the "Retail Giant" scan at TheHotOptionsReport.com to see where small-sized traders are focusing their capital, before counting down the top 10 most active chains on the tape. Key Highlights: The Semiconductor Slide: Broadcom (AVGO) continues its post-earnings slide, while Micron (MU) experiences a mind-boggling triple-digit handle drop to the dark side. Plus, an inside look at a highly aggressive, deeply out-of-the-money put play in Intel (INTC). Breaking Key Levels: Tesla (TSLA) surrenders a crucial psychological level, triggering a massive wave of activity in the power puts. Big Tech Tech Tumbles: High-volume put action dominates the tape in Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN).
David Wagner says the tech rally still has room to run despite recent dips. He favors buying mega-cap names like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Broadcom (AVGO), citing attractive valuations and strong liquidity. He dismisses correction fears, pointing to ongoing market support.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
