Market Overview and Individual Stock Highlights

The market experienced a generally positive day with major averages in green territory. The NASDAQ led the gains, approaching the 26,000 point area, followed by the ES and the Dow. The Russell 2000 was the best performing average.

• Robin Hood (HOOD): A significant focus due to its after-hours earnings report. The stock showed strength throughout the day, nearly recovering yesterday's lows. Despite a double beat on EPS and revenue, the stock turned red in after-hours trading, primarily attributed to a miss on crypto revenue and the CFO's retirement. The market reaction was seen as a disappointment given the stock's prior run-up.
• Palantir (PLTR): Discussed as a "day two play," Palantir showed upside continuation after initial trading challenges. Multiple analyst price target raises from firms like HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Croup, and D.A. Davidson were noted. Dan Ives' commentary calling Michael Bur "dead wrong" for betting against Palantir was highlighted. The stock was trading around $189.50, with a target of $190 for a potential breakout.
• AMD: A standout performer of the day, catching a bid and showing significant upside from $250 to $260. Despite a strong earnings report, the aftermarket sell-off was followed by a strong recovery, with the stock up 3% and taking out day highs. Trading strategies involved shorting the pop and looking for trend breaks.
• Rivian (RIVN): Exhibited a monster day, up 25% and considered a "monster" by traders. The stock showed a strong recovery, with traders taking profits at various levels. The company reported a beat on EPS and sales, with automotive revenue growing 47% year-over-year, despite still reporting losses. The move was attributed to better-than-expected results and shorts being forced to cover.
• Meta (META): Showed a good recovery day, though not the strongest performing MAG 7 name. The stock was trading around $636, with a desire to DCA (Dollar-Cost Average) into the position. A double bottom on earnings and a break of the prior day's high were noted.
• Apple (AAPL): Experienced a notable spike following news of a pact with Google to use its Gemini AI model for Siri features, reportedly costing Apple $1 billion per year. The deal, set for 2026, involves Apple using Google's 1.2 trillion parameter model. Despite the positive news, Apple struggled to hold gains and ended the day red, trading back to VWAP and below $270, which was seen as a disappointing trade given the news.
• Google (GOOGL/GOOG): Benefited from the Apple partnership, with its Gemini AI model being integrated into Apple's ecosystem. Google was seen as a winner in this deal, with its AI model gaining significant user exposure. The stock was showing a strong bounce and potential for further upside towards $300.
• Tesla (TSLA): Was the best performing MAG 7 name, up 3.75%. The stock was trading around $466, with anticipation for tomorrow's shareholder meeting to vote on Elon Musk's pay package. The market was seen as liking Tesla today, with expectations of the vote passing. The stock was approaching its all-time high.
• Nvidia (NVDA): Experienced a significant sell-off into the close, ending the day down almost 2%. This move was attributed to a large sell imbalance and commentary from Jensen Huang suggesting China would win the AI race. Despite being a leader, Nvidia's late-day decline impacted other tech names.

Earnings Reports and Market Reactions

The day was marked by a "gargantuan" earnings season with numerous companies reporting.

• Qualcomm (QCOM): Reported a double beat on EPS and sales, with strong Q1 guidance for sales. However, the stock experienced a volatile reaction, running to highs before pulling back and threatening to go red.
• Duolingo (DUOL): Despite a revenue beat and strong year-over-year growth in daily and monthly active users, the stock was heavily impacted, down double digits and trading at lows. The chess function was criticized.
• Lyft (LYFT): Showed significant year-over-year improvements in revenue, gross bookings, net income, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. The stock was lifting higher, with positive guidance for gross bookings.
• ARM: Reported a double beat on EPS and revenue, with strong Q3 revenue guidance. The stock was up, but not significantly exceeding expected moves, and some profit-taking was observed.
• DoorDash (DASH): Experienced a significant sell-off, down 13%, losing the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. A miss on EPS and a weak outlook for Q4 GOV were contributing factors.
• Ion Q (IONQ): Reported larger-than-expected losses, though revenue was a beat. The stock was down significantly.
• Applovin (APP): Delivered a double beat on EPS and sales, with better-than-expected guidance for Q4 revenue and raised fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS guidance. The stock was noted for its volatility and potential for significant moves.
• Fortinet (FTNT): Reported a double beat on EPS and sales, with a strong EPS guide for fiscal 2025. However, sales guidance for the next quarter was tepid, leading to a cautious outlook.
• ELF (e.l.f. Beauty): Showed a disastrous reaction to earnings, with a miss on sales and significantly below-estimate guidance for fiscal 2026 EPS and sales.
• AMC: Reported a revenue beat, but the stock was largely sideways.
• Bumble (BMBL): Experienced a decline, with revenue and Bumble app revenue down year-over-year, and paying users also down.
• Dutch Bros (BROS): Beat on non-GAAP earnings and revenue, but the stock's reaction was muted due to its high valuation going into the report.
• Devon Energy (DVN): Reported a beat on EPS and sales.
• Root (ROOT): Revenue was reportedly up year-over-year, but net income was weaker. Reliable numbers were difficult to obtain.
• Figma: Reported record revenue and 38% year-over-year revenue growth, but the stock remained largely sideways at all-time lows.
• Joby Aviation (JOBY): Reported a significant revenue beat (805% year-over-year) but a large miss on EPS.
• Lucid (LCID): Missed on revenue and reported a larger-than-expected adjusted loss, with liquidity of $5.5 billion. The stock was seen as unlikely to replicate Rivian's performance.
• Snap (SNAP): Showed a strong upside move, potentially due to a squeeze and a partnership with Perplexity. The company reported a double beat on EPS and revenue, with a lower short float contributing to the upward momentum.
• Albam Marl: Reported a double beat with a much smaller than expected loss per share and a sales beat.
