Market and Economic Data

The S&P 500 futures are showing a slight bounce this morning, with imports coming in at 340 billion versus 358 billion, indicating a slight downside. The forecast for Wednesday was 341 billion. Energy data is expected at 10:30 AM. The market is heavily focused on Nvidia's earnings report after the close, which is considered the biggest report of the earning season.

Company-Specific News and Performance

  • Nvidia (NVDA): The primary focus due to upcoming earnings. Shares are up slightly in pre-market, holding long-term support at $180. Expectations are for $1.25 EPS (53% YoY increase) and $54.92 billion in revenue (56% YoY increase). Concerns include the longevity of chip demand and potential "creative accounting." Nvidia is up 35% year-to-date and 12% off October highs.
  • Target (TGT): Reporting negative results, down 3% in pre-market. Revenue declined 25.27 billion, slightly below expectations. EPS was $1.78. Profitability dropped 19% YoY, and comparable sales fell 2.7%. Traffic decreased 2.2%, with customers spending 0.5% less per trip. Digital sales grew a modest 2.4%, driven by same-day deliveries. Target is rolling out "Target Trend Brain," a Gen AI tool to forecast trends. The company cut its full-year guidance to $7-$8 EPS and expects single-digit declines in Q4. A new CEO, Michael Fideli, will take over on February 1st, 2026.
  • Lowe's (LOW): Reporting positively, up 11.5% in pre-market with a raised price target to $39. EPS was $3.30 (beat estimates of $2.97), and revenue was $20.81 billion (in line with expectations). Net income was $1.62 billion, a YoY drop, attributed to higher costs and softer DIY trends. Full-year comparable sales are now expected to be flat to down 1%, revised from an expected 1% increase. Lowe's is leaning into the "pro" contractor segment through acquisitions like Foundation Building Materials ($8.8 billion) and Artisan Design Group.
  • Home Depot (HD): Reported yesterday, pointing to a weak consumer and environmental issues. KGI Securities downgraded from outperform to neutral.
  • Tesla (TSLA): Showing relative strength, up 1-1.5% this morning. Received a permit from Arizona for its robo taxi program, allowing it to operate a commercial ride-hailing service. This is the third jurisdiction for Tesla's autonomous ride-sharing. They are also running human-driven rides in the Bay Area and aim to remove safety drivers in Austin by year-end. Tesla is trading around the $400-$402 level, with $400 being a key support.
  • MP Materials (MP): Flying this morning, up 8% on a new deal to build a rare earth refinery in Saudi Arabia. Goldman Sachs initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $77 price target, implying 32% upside. Goldman highlights MP as the largest rare earth producer in the Western Hemisphere, specializing in neodymium-based praseodymium oxide (NDPR oxide), crucial for magnets. China dominates refining capacity (90-95%). MP has a deal with the Department of War guaranteeing a floor price of $110/kg for NDPR oxide for 10 years, stabilizing earnings. Goldman also notes MP's vertical integration plans and a tie-up with Apple. The stock is still off its highs by about 40%.
  • Meta (META): Winning its FTC antitrust lawsuit, but still in a significant drawdown of over 20% from recent highs. The judge ruled the FTC failed to prove Meta holds current monopoly power.
  • Constellation Energy (CEG): Microsoft is looking at opening a nuclear power plant with CEG, which received a nod from the Trump administration. CEG is up 5% today, and 130% off April lows. The Trump administration is providing a $1 billion loan to restart the Crane Nuclear Energy Center in Pennsylvania, expected to resume power generation in 2027. Microsoft has a power purchase agreement with CEG to support data center energy needs.
  • Alphabet (GOOGL): Up 1.5% and continuing its upward trend, breaking through $300. The company unveiled Gemini 3, its most intelligent model, with a focus on revenue-producing use cases and direct integration into search on day one. Enterprise customers will get a preview of "anti-gravity," an AI coding platform.
  • Micron (MU): Moving slightly in pre-market, but flat now after dropping $4-$5 on decent volume. The chips sector is in play on Nvidia day, and any unexpected movers are being watched. Micron is presenting at a conference today.
  • Palantir (PLTR): Showing some strength, trading around $166-$167. The stock is on watch for support areas.
  • AMD: Tanked $10 yesterday off the open. The stock is being watched for a potential short if it breaks $235.
  • Palo Alto Networks (PANW): Reporting earnings tonight. The stock has been underperforming despite strong cybersecurity sector performance. It's been under the 50-day moving average, and a significant dip by could occur if it follows past earnings patterns.
  • Intel (INTC): Flying today, and if it hits $36, that's a potential short spot.
  • Semrush (SMCI): Acquired by Byke Cash. The stock is being watched for a potential pop and fade.
  • Plug Power (PLUG): Down aggressively, trading around $16.80.
  • Ford (F): Up 30% year-to-date, but facing another recall (229,000 vehicles) for instrument panel display failures in 2025 Bronco and Bronco Sport models.
  • Boeing (BA): Down slightly yesterday but bouncing back. Received an order for 75 new 737 MAX jets from Flydubai. Flydubai is also ordering Airbus A321 Neos. Trump complimented Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg.
  • Amazon (AMZN): Down despite positive headlines, potentially due to EU court upholding the EU Commission's decision to label Amazon a "very large online platform" under the Digital Services Act, imposing stricter rules. Amazon is trading near its lows and is being watched for a potential bounce at $210 (earnings low) or $200.
  • Pinterest (PINS): Getting hit, but has a good PE ratio. The company is being watched for potential deals with LLMs.
  • Snowflake (SNOW): Holding up well, trading near the 50-day moving average.
