High expectations are weighing on big tech as names like Nvidia (NVDA), Salesforce (CRM), and Snowflake (SNOW) lose momentum. Chris Ward explains why Entry Point Wealth Management stepped aside from technology, warning that the AI trade may be nearing exhaustion after weak price action. He favors a rotation into international markets, gold, and smart beta ETFs to capture new leadership while managing risk.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Snowflake (SNOW) and Salesforce (CRM) are signaling a shift in software economics as AI moves from hype to real revenue impact. Stephanie Walter explains how consumption-based and subscription models are giving way to pricing tied to digital workload scale and data activation. The advantage is consolidating around platforms that can turn clean data into automated workflows, not just store it.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Salesforce (CRM) earnings are a "temperature check" on enterprise software spending, which Lisa Martin says signals demand is holding up. She sees platformization and Agentforce building a strong financial backbone. Ron Westfall adds that the AI "gold rush" sparked by Nvidia (NVDA) and other tech giants will benefit Salesforce and software stocks in the long-term. Snowflake (SNOW) shows another side of the trade, with Lisa and Ron both pointing to upside with strong customer growth. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The software sector is facing an identity crisis as investors debate whether AI enhances or threatens traditional SaaS models. Brian Glenn explains that rising expectations, especially around Nvidia (NVDA), have raised the bar for earnings and increased volatility, pushing the market back toward fundamentals like profitability and durable data moats. He points to companies such as Intuit (INTU), Salesforce (CRM), and Adobe (ADBE) as more resilient to AI disruption, while also noting continued interest in private markets and limited near-term relief from Fed policy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Landon Swan talks about his firm's recent data on Salesforce (CRM) following the stunning sell-off in shares. He points to the general SaaS stock selling as overblown and expects Salesforce to bounce on its earnings. However, Landon still sees AI threats and margins as concerns for the company's long-term outlook. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

A "reckoning" in software stocks has very real fears of agentic AI upending businesses, says Hatem Dhiab. He labels Intuit (INTU) as one example. Hatem considers Salesforce (CRM) a more nuanced story, expecting some parts of the business to see little to no effect. He then turns to the Mag 7 by explaining watch in Nvidia (NVDA) earnings and concerns on Tesla's (TSLA) AI-centric future. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Shares of Salesforce (CRM) descended to a new 52-week low on Monday, but its 4Q earnings event could look to reverse that trend. Rick Ducat maps out the key technical trends weighing on shares of CRM as it looks to rebound from early 2026 weakness. Later, Rick demonstrates an example options trade using a bearish-leaning call vertical strategy. He reveals the risk-reward setup for such a trade and explains why investors could consider 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

Mark Gibbens and Melissa Otto preview Salesforce (CRM) and Snowflake (SNOW) earnings before they report postmarket. Melissa says “all eyes” will be on their AI strategies and guidance. She focuses on operational expenses and efficiency measures. Mark notes that Salesforce in particular has been a bellwether before, and thinks it has a real chance to “prove that the wheels aren't falling off the software cart.” ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Jay Woods joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE to make sense of this week's market performance as investors await Nvidia (NVDA) earnings. He's admittedly confused about IBM's (IBM) selloff yesterday saying: What's changed about the AI narrative? He's looking to Snowflake (SNOW) and Salesforce (CRM) earnings events to provide clarity on the AI adoption front. For AMD, he points to CEO Lisa Su's leadership as a key driver for the company's growth. Jay later tries to make sense of the swirling uncertainty surrounding tariffs and how potential refunds could impact companies.======== 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

Thomas J. Hayes analyzes the latest tariff policy plans emanating from the White House and weighs in on how the short-term volatility is "mostly noise" as he expects this to be a longer-played out issue. He underlines the mid-term election cycle as a potential market moving event. On the Mag 7 stock performance, Thomas says the markets are concerned if the group's AI capex ultimately turns free cash flow negative. He's a "little leery" of software and is paying attention to Salesforce (CRM), Intuit (INTU) and Nvidia (NVDA) earnings this week. Thomas has a pair of stock picks in Estee Lauder (EL) and Dentsply (XRAY). ======== 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

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.   Click here to visit Joel's PreMarket Prep website - https://www.premarketprep.com/   Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network - https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/   Summary of Stocks & Symbols Mentioned: S&P 500 (SPX), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Walmart (WMT), Micron (MU), SanDisk, Service Now (NOW), Salesforce (CRM), Constellation Energy (CEG), John Deere (DE), Caterpillar (CAT), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), United States Oil Fund (USO), Lemonade (LMND).   --------------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

The Deal You Never Knew Existed. Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this deep dive, Jay McBain reveals the harsh reality of the “28 Moments” in a modern B2B buying journey, using a multi-million dollar SAP deal at AstraZeneca as a wake-up call for vendors. He explains how traditional marketing leads are failing in the “decade of the ecosystem,” where trusted partners like NTT and SoftwareOne are winning deals in “light blue” partnership moments months before a customer ever downloads an ebook. If you aren’t visible in the seven-layer stack or collaborating with the partners who hold the customer’s trust, you aren’t just losing the deal—you're losing the entire market. https://youtu.be/NO-P6X2dTAo?si=8e_sVesqvwaC0M-E Key Takeaways Most vendors lose major deals without ever knowing a transaction was even taking place. The average considered purchase involves 28 distinct moments of research and influence before a sale. Trusted partners often close the deal in the “middle moments” months before the money is actually spent. Traditional marketing leads (MQLs) are often too “flimsy” compared to deep partner-led relationships. Winning in the ecosystem requires being part of a “seven-layer stack” of integrated technology and services. Data-sharing platforms like Crossbeam and Workspan are now essential to seeing the “invisible” pipeline. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

Transcript: [00:00:00] Jay McBain: So if you’re a vendor trying to get into that seven layer stack and you don’t have that relationship, or you don’t have the knowledge that NTT or software one is going in, this will have been a deal that would’ve never hit your pipeline and you’ll have no knowledge. So you will have lost this deal without knowing there was a deal. [00:00:19] Vince Menzione: We’ve been talking 28 moments, but you have a slide. I thought we’d spend some time here because, you know, every conversation with you is about 28 moments, but you finally took the time to analyze one of your deals or one of the deals that was going on with one of your clients and come up with the 28 moments. [00:00:36] Vince Menzione: I thought we’d spend a little time here because this journey slide is a wake up call. Uh, it’s, it’s, it’s all around. Why, why we need to think about all of those. Points we need to think about communities and analysts and marketplaces and proof of concepts and architecture and everything else. I thought maybe you’d take us through this a little bit. [00:00:53] Vince Menzione: ’cause this was for a client, AstraZeneca, by the way. This was, uh, if you don’t know this, ICI Americas was the precursor of mm-hmm. AstraZeneca. It was the first SAP customer in North America. [00:01:03] Jay McBain: Nice. I did [00:01:04] Vince Menzione: not know that. That’s why Microsoft and SAP both headquartered. In that area, near nearby, that client. [00:01:10] Vince Menzione: That’s, uh, news, new news. [00:01:11] Jay McBain: And by the way, this is an SAP deal we’re looking at. Yeah. Uh, so two things here. One is that, um, while I was declaring the decade of the ecosystem, you know, spending time with you and Boca, in between that time we got acquired. Canals, which was Latin for channel, got acquired by oia, part of Informa TechTarget, part of this bigger informa company, which is a Fortune 100 company outta the uk. [00:01:32] Jay McBain: Fantastic. You know, we’re part of this massive organization that is really around buyer intent. How, you know, a tech target and, uh, running hundreds of magazines like Information Week and Computer Week that customers and partners read running hundreds of events, the biggest events on the planet. [00:01:49] Vince Menzione: Crazy [00:01:49] Jay McBain: in B2B, like Black Hat and all these things are run by [00:01:52] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:01:53] Jay McBain: informa. [00:01:53] Jay McBain: So it’s got this massive mountain of data. About the 28 moments. So when you start to think if you’re a CMO and you start to think about the early moments, you, you think about somebody reading an ebook or, um, going to a, a webinar or going onto a LinkedIn live just like this one. Yeah, going to a major event and getting a pair of socks from you. [00:02:13] Jay McBain: Um, but anything early in the journey. These are the m qls. These are the things that I need enough of them to be credible before I hand them over to my sales team. ’cause I don’t wanna be laughed out of the room. Hey, they read an ebook. They must, AstraZeneca must be buying millions of dollars of stuff. [00:02:27] Vince Menzione: Traditional marketing lead. [00:02:29] Jay McBain: Traditional marketing lead. So they’re a bit nervous about sharing that. And then later on, the sales motions, the demos and all the progression of the sales. This was the two decades before us, the decade of sales, decade of marketing. But the 28 moments, just to take a step back, if you haven’t heard, it is just a considered purchase. [00:02:46] Jay McBain: It’s about psychology, human psychology. When you go and buy a car, second most expensive thing that you will purchase you on average will go through 28 moments getting ready for that purchase. Some people go through two moments and they just drive to the Cadillac dealership to see Larry, who’s been selling Cadillacs to the family for 80 years. [00:03:04] Jay McBain: Yep. Some people spend 58 moments. That’s probably me. [00:03:07] Vince Menzione: That’s you, a, [00:03:08] Jay McBain: you know, going through all the depreciation, watching every YouTube video, you know, going to the end of the earth. But the average is 28. So you start to think about this, this is the same buying a car considered purchase, that you would buy a million dollars in software. [00:03:21] Jay McBain: From Microsoft or SAP. So when you look at these moments, you start to think, you know, how is you before you buy that car, downloading the invoice price, downloading this month’s backend rebates. Should I buy it in January? Should I buy it in February? All these decisions you make before you get to that dealership, you’re smarter than the salesperson, smarter than the sales manager. [00:03:39] Jay McBain: You know what 5,000 people bought the car for within 50 miles of you? I mean, you’re just so smart. You actually don’t need the dealership anymore. Just Carvana to me, hand me the keys. Exactly. But now in buying technology, hardware, software services, customers are getting this smart. And here’s all the moments they take to get this smart. [00:03:57] Jay McBain: But the thing we always had in mind in this decade of the ecosystem was the 96% there are trusted people. Yeah. Spending decades building that trust that come in in critical moments. They’re not marketing moments, they’re not sales moments. They are fully partnership moments. Yeah. And they’re on this slide in light blue. [00:04:15] Jay McBain: So if you were to look at this deal and, and somebody in marketing is finding these eBooks and webinars and they think there might be something, AWS got a direct hit on their website. So there’s something brewing at AstraZeneca. It, it might be in, it’s a big pharmaceutical company, so you’re probably spending millions of dollars if something’s brewing. [00:04:31] Jay McBain: Yep. But guess what? At the same time, in December on this six month journey. Partners come in with five different paid projects, consulting, advisory design projects, and in this case it was NTT software one, Yash and uh, ISV was there. Yep. But NTT won three different. Deals right at that critical stage. It wasn’t Accenture, it wasn’t Deloitte, NTT at this particular department of AstraZeneca had spent the decades building those relationships. [00:04:58] Jay McBain: So they were the one, and they won critical part of this. And so that’s when the deal is won. And it’s not at April when the money’s being spent. Yeah, it’s, it’s not in March when a couple more ISVs joined the mix, that seven layer stack that solves this particular problem, it was right there. So if you’re a vendor trying to get into that seven layer stack and you don’t have that relationship, or you don’t have the knowledge that NTT or software one is going in, this will have been a deal that would’ve never hit your pipeline and you’ll have no knowledge. [00:05:30] Jay McBain: So you will have lost this deal without knowing there was a deal, which makes up again, the majority of your tam. [00:05:34] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:05:35] Jay McBain: But what if I did have this agentic ability to see this deal coming, and I’m a cybersecurity company, I’m just competing for layer five of the deal, but I know that it’s all happening in December. [00:05:46] Jay McBain: So the two things that jump out on this particular slide is one, they don’t just show up in December. [00:05:51] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:05:51] Jay McBain: this went closed one in their Salesforce CRM in August, September, well, before the customer ever read an ebook. So now you’re not dealing with a flimsy MQL. You’re dealing with a couple of great, you know, top partner 1000 sized firms. [00:06:09] Jay McBain: One of them is a partner, 30 firm. [00:06:11] Vince Menzione: Exactly. [00:06:12] Jay McBain: That is absolutely going into and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in services to guide the customer to a millions of dollars in purchase. And, and you can imagine in that boardroom. With A CMO saying, Hey, I got this stuff here. And the head of channels or partnerships saying, no, no, this is real. [00:06:32] Jay McBain: Here’s the names, faces, and places. Yeah. And here’s how it’s happening. And this is exactly, this is the Gantt chart, this is the show up, this is the project, this is the outcome. This is exactly how it’s playing out. Now if I could go back and the board and the C-suite should be asking us, well, how many more deals like this can you see? [00:06:50] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:51] Jay McBain: If our TAM is, you know, how many billions of dollars? Could you double our pipeline by seeing more of these middle moments? And if we got a couple of months to spend with these partners before they get in front of the customer, could they build more of our portfolio into the deal so we’re not just layer five, maybe we’re layer three and layer five. [00:07:10] Vince Menzione: This slide screams at me. Integr Tech integration Cha. A partner channel integration of tech, uh, whether it’s Crossbeam, whether it’s Partner Tap, whether it’s work span, or any of these other technologies, tackle any of these technologies that are tracking marketplace, that are tracking partner to partner, co-selling. [00:07:30] Vince Menzione: Getting the integration points. The only way to really understand the situation here, because this is a multinational company. Yeah. It’s being touched at all PO points around the globe. And to understand who’s calling who, who’s influencing who, and getting a real view, you know, a uber view of what that looks like is super important. [00:07:47] Jay McBain: It is. And you know, if I’m trying to sell like a cross beam or partner tab or work span or something into my executive team, I’m just showing them this slide. [00:07:54] Vince Menzione: Exactly. [00:07:54] Jay McBain: Would you like to know about this deal? Like you see, October is the start of the timeline here. Would you like to know about this deal in August, September? [00:08:00] Vince Menzione: Yep. [00:08:01] Jay McBain: Would you like to know about it automatically? Again, we’re not waiting for somebody, a human in a cubicle to go fill out a form. We’re not waiting for them to call somebody at our in, in a cubicle at our company. Yeah. We’re literally age genically sharing platforms, and so when this triggers that AstraZeneca and now triggers in our CRM system as well, our team on AstraZeneca gets notified and it gets notified in September before the 28 moments even starts. [00:08:27] Jay McBain: This, the power of this, of doubling, tripling your pipeline and then winning a bigger yield, a bigger percentage of that pipeline. This is the holy grail of our industry, and no one’s gonna get to a hundred percent. You’re not gonna have a hundred percent of your tam covered by your pipeline. No one’s gonna win a hundred percent of that. [00:08:43] Jay McBain: But again, we only have to be 10 or 20% better than our competitors and we need to start moving on this now. [00:08:50] Vince Menzione: So your imperative for the partners here, well everyone watching here today, I mean, this screams to me build your ecosystem strategy in such a strong and succinct way. What else would you say to them? [00:09:00] Jay McBain: I mean, the second thing that jumps out, you see two AWS direct touches here. This is something that this would be inbound. This AWS would see this deal in their pipeline. [00:09:09] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:09:10] Jay McBain: Because the customer came to them. AWS lost this deal. Crazy. So Microsoft won this deal. I, I mentioned Microsoft outgrowing AWS Yeah. [00:09:19] Jay McBain: ’cause in this particular case, NTT and Software One and Yash came in with Microsoft. Yeah. To solve an SAP optimization, Microsoft, and, you know, seven layer deal. So whether you’re in AWS, whether you’re in Microsoft, whether you’re anywhere else in this industry, you’re thinking like, you’re not gonna probably overtake what happens in December. [00:09:39] Jay McBain: These are the most trusted, smartest people in the room. And whatever happens in those projects is the seven layer stack the customer’s gonna buy in March, April. So I, I start to think about this and go, I need to win. ’cause NTT has a wonderful relationship with AWS. [00:09:55] Vince Menzione: They do, [00:09:56] Jay McBain: I mean, partner of the year level. [00:09:57] Jay McBain: I mean, they’ve got 10,000 people certified. I mean, there’s just a, you know, there’s no one at AWS that, um, you know, would take a, a loss here because it’s a wonderful relationship. And Software One, they [00:10:09] Vince Menzione: go back to Microsoft actually 30, 40 years though they do. They were Dimension data before that. Yeah. [00:10:14] Vince Menzione: And they have the long hit Legacy And Software One. Software one as well. You, [00:10:19] Jay McBain: you know, well Software one is Microsoft’s biggest reseller, uh, in Europe. And now with Crayon, you know, one of the biggest in the world. So I would be nervous if I was looking at this and saw Software one coming in with NTT and watching these things take place if I were able to see this back in September, October and work with these companies. [00:10:38] Jay McBain: That’s where kind of Microsoft came into the picture. And this never hit Microsoft’s pipeline. No Microsoft salesperson ever worked on it, but millions of dollars came to Microsoft. Yeah. Uh, out of this deal. So there are examples of where Microsoft gets touched and AWS wins the deal. So this isn’t meant to say that it happens in every case, but it’s meant to say data rules the future, and agent ai, the ability to plumb in these boxes. [00:11:00] Jay McBain: Working with Informa tech, target people that can plumb in the boxes for you with third party data, helping you with the light blue boxes. We gotta be obsessed over these light blue boxes. [00:11:11] Vince Menzione: It’s incredible. The Ultimate Partner Winter Retreat is gonna be here in the Boca Studio. This is the third year that we’re gonna be here in Boca. [00:11:21] Vince Menzione: This is always a favorite of our community members, our executive members, our sponsors and speakers. We’ll all be here in the studio, which is a really intimate setting. We can see upwards of 40, 50 people. Uh, we’ll be hosting an incredible dinner at the Boca Resort overlooking the golf course. That’s an incredible property and, uh, we’d love to have you join us. [00:11:45] Vince Menzione: Thank you for being part of the ultimate Partner community, and I hope to see you this year at one of our events. Thank you.

Welcome to 7investing's Watch List! Today we're diving deep into TWO stocks that aren't official recommendations but are on the 7investing radar: Broadcom (a massive dividend-paying chip giant) and Zeta Global (an AI-powered marketing disruptor)

Jay Woods is back at the NYSE desk to discuss the rotation trade underway in the markets. He and Diane King Hall points to the Dow's 50k new-high as evidence of being in a "strong, secular bull market." He's looking ahead to Nvidia (NVDA) earnings at the end of the month to see what happens with the current tech trade. On recent software weakness, Jay says the group has been "SaaS-sy" as fears of AI eating into its business model impact names like Salesforce (CRM), Applovin (APP) and Datadog (DDOG). Other names on his radar: DuPont (DD) and Cisco (CSCO) as he reiterates "slow and steady" names should be part of a portfolio. ======== 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

Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow (NOW) are two stocks getting added to the Dan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (IVES). Diane King Hall notes the news isn't helping either stock, even with Dan pounding the table that both are heavily oversold. Another stock seeing heavy selling action: Monday.com (MNDY), where shares plunged for a third quarter in a row. DA Davidson sees notable upside in Oracle (ORCL) as it builds out data centers for OpenAI. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

We began the interview with a startling fact. Maximus' federal systems interface with one in three Americans each year—about 110 million people. Building on Maximus's broad reach, Pledger says the company's core is designing world‑class digital experiences by starting with the end goal (e.g., veterans' benefits) and using automation, AI, analytics, and omni‑channel outreach. We have all heard about improvements in systems; today, Pledger offers specifics on how health care can improve. He cites his own 2008 Iraq injury and notes veteran case durations historically ran three hundred to four hundred days; Maximus has reduced that to two hundred to 270 days, but still deems it too long. Maximus' success is due to its unique ability to leverage AI to drive this transformation. One approach is to partner with companies with vertical-market expertise. For instance, Maximus partners with Salesforce (CRM) and Genesis (telephony) to respond to complex medical cases. Example: outbound campaigns (text, email, AI‑generated calls) cut lapses; proactive engagement improves experience and reduces call‑center burden. Maximus is a story about a complex environment being tamed through understanding processes, applying technology, and making the right partnerships.   Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com

Phil Palumbo believes tech is here to stay, just keep beaten-up names in mind. He points to a company like Salesforce (CRM) that has "nothing broken about their business" with leadership potential at a discounted price. With the Mag 7 continuing to gain traction, Phil tells investors to look for the "next trillion dollar company" and gives advice for navigating markets in 2026. That said, Phil still likes Amazon (AMZN) due to its high margins and global moat. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Markets experienced a tech-led rebound to kick off the first full trading week of the year. Chris Versace points to CES 2026 as the key catalyst, noting the wealth of AI, robotics, and autonomous driving updates revving up investor confidence. He believes we're still "very early" in AI adoption, expecting "second derivative" companies in the trade like storage chips to continue rallying. One warning Chris has for a potential AI bubble: Salesforce (CRM) and other notable software companies. ======== 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

The adaptation of A.I. has just begun heading into 2026 according to David Nelson, as more companies learn to use A.I. as part of their daily business and adapt their models to take advantage of cost savings, according to David Nelson. He thinks that Salesforce (CRM) will be able to take advantage of companies looking to expand their use of A.I. He also thinks that Alphabet's (GOOGL) Gemini has surpassed ChatGPT and that competition is continuing to heat up in the LLM space.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Matthew Tuttle says he's watching two big themes for next year: the Fed's interest rate path and A.I. infrastructure buildout. He believes companies like Oracle (ORCL) are worth buying the dips and sees a sharp rebound coming for it and similar companies. Matt also likes space stocks like AST Spacemobile (ASTS), Intuitive Machines (LUNR), and Planet Labs (PL). Software is another industry he expects to rebound, especially in names like Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow (NOW). ======== 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

Mish Schneider joins Morning Movers with her glimpse at the markets heading into year-end of 2025. She says investors need to approach the markets like crossing the street by making sure to "look both ways" and protect against selling pressures. Mish says the U.S. consumer needs to "stay in the game" and highlights relative performance in small-cap stocks. She's keeping oil and gas on her radar as well as any inflationary pressures that could arise. In terms of her approach now, Mish likes the energy sector particularly natural gas. Additionally, she lists IBM (IBM), Salesforce (CRM) and Chemours (CC) as tech-sector exposure.
