Situational Awareness
Market Condition: Market at all time highs but seeing some divergence with stocks and the indexes. Participation falling away. May resolve but worth noting. Cautious. Not seeing a lot of follow through or strong charts.
Commentary: Cautious today but if anything is to go it will be mega caps. Small caps struggling, Metals are in parabolic territory also.
Upcoming Earnings:After Hours: AAPL, SNDK, WDC, Before Open: SOFI, XOM, CVX

In Play
META: Solid beat across revenue and EPS; massive AI infrastructure guidance.
Key Metrics: Industry Group: Internet Content & Information, Market Cap: 1685.55B, Float: 2.18B Short Interest 1.50%, Days to Cover: 1.68, Exchange: NASDAQ
Catalyst: Strong Beat on earnings. Signaled a big CAPEX spend for 2026 but revs and eps can sustain it. Strongest earnings of the mega caps last night. Revs 24% YoY. management claims capex will translate to superior ad monetization and new product categories (agents, personal AI). Potential leader if market stays bullish.
IBM also had strong results and are a clear Infra Beneficiary.
