I use Benzinga Pro (Essential) for 90% of my research each day. I have recently subscribed to a LIFETIME subscription for $1650. This is incredible value.

Revs up 625% YoY beating Estimates, Beat on EBITDA, Raised Guidance and raised Guide for KPI ARR substantially. Net Income swing positive. Massive acceleration with Revenue up 100% QoQ, Really nice Daily Chart B/O Flat Base. AI Infra, in theme. Potential to be another leader for the list.

Market Awareness
Plenty of positive earnings and gaps this morning. Almost an overwhelming amount. We continue to grind up today. Trump threats of 100% Semiconductor Tariffs was completely ignored by the market. This seems to be because of a caveat that any company that has invested or will invest in the US will be exempt which seems quite broad. I guess if this tariff turns out to be worse than Wall St. is expecting we may get an initial shock. Something to be aware of but right now the market is bullish, Watching the VIX always for spikes with alerts set on it.
Story stocks, after being rampant the last few months, have slowed down for now and Strong Fundamentals are being rewarded this season from the market. New leaders like RDDT, ALAB, NBIS are emerging.
Worth noting emerging theme - Miners Breaking out on Earnings - KGC, HL, SRRM + Strength in Rare Earths.
Beware of chop and fade today early as yesterday was very strong and today we have a substantial gap at the open.
