Honorable Mention

ACHR: Archer Aviation announced an exclusive agreement with Korean Air to jointly commercialize its Midnight eVTOL aircraft in South Korea. The deal includes the potential purchase of up to 100 aircraft by Korean Air, marking a significant validation for Archer’s technology and expanding its global reach into Asia. Not gapping up a lot but this has a habit of going after the market opens. Probably a better watch on earnings but worth noting in Drone Theme.

X-Ray ACHR: Industry Group: Aerospace & Defense, Market Cap: 7.25B, Float: 543.54M Short Interest 17.47%, Days to Cover: 2.24, Exchange: NYSE

GSIT: GSI Technology (NASDAQ: GSIT) announced that researchers at Cornell University independently validated its Associative Processing Unit (APU) architecture, confirming that GSI’s Gemini-I APU achieves GPU-class performance comparable to NVIDIA’s A6000 while consuming 98% less energy in large-scale AI workloads. Saw this late on. Could be big if it goes.

X-Ray GSIT: Industry Group: Semiconductors, Market Cap: 147.78M, Float: 21.69M Short Interest 1.26%, Days to Cover: 1.01, Exchange: NASDAQ

NOTES: Several biotechs moving this morning. CELC looks good initially but most of this data is not new it was released in July. So I think it may fade. REPL chart is not great but it may still work with high short interest.

Market Awareness

Playing it safe this morning. I don’t see anything that really blows me away. I am always wary of Monday morning gap up. Starting the week off easy. I won’t be surprised to see the gap fade early.
