Market Overview

The market saw a mixed day with Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) adding nearly $450 billion in market value, the largest single-day gain for any U.S. company [1]. However, not all analysts are optimistic, with one citing cloud competition and valuation risks as reasons to be cautious [2].

Earnings Updates

Nvidia partners Lumentum, CoreWeave, and Super Micro reported earnings, with CoreWeave's revenue surging due to AI infrastructure demand [4]. Meanwhile, Meta (META) reported strong growth, but its AI investments are becoming increasingly costly [8].

Sector Trends

The AI boom is driving demand for power infrastructure, with data centers facing years-long waits for equipment [12]. This shift is likely to impact companies like GOOGL, which relies heavily on data centers for its operations.

Data, not advice

The math at your inputs. Risk percent and stop placement are decisions you make for your own account — this calculator doesn't tell you what to risk, what to trade, or whether to take the trade. Whole-share floor; round trip ignores commission and slippage.
