Good MorningTech and AI continued to drive market action, with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) reporting a near 40% jump in quarterly profit as AI demand lifts chipmakers, and Microsoft rolling out deeper Copilot integration in Windows 11 as it ends free support for Windows 10—moves that reinforce investor enthusiasm for AI-exposed names. Security worries also surfaced: Microsoft flagged a sharp rise in foreign adversaries using AI for deception and cyberattacks, a geopolitical risk that could influence defense and cybersecurity stocks. Smaller-cap momentum names also grabbed attention: AST SpaceMobile leapt to fresh intraday highs after announcing a commercial partnership with Verizon, and Amazon sits on a technical pivot just below its long-standing $240 ceiling ahead of next week’s earnings.
Corporate headlines added sector-specific catalysts for investors. Nestlé announced 16,000 job cuts as it ramps cost savings, Wells Fargo’s better-than-expected quarter sent its stock sharply higher as its turnaround gains credibility, and MarketBeat pieces flagged potential buying opportunities in Abbott after a price drop and a 30% price-target raise for Global Medical REIT. Meanwhile, ongoing policy and regulatory stories—from coal-lease rejections on public lands to U.S. healthcare subsidy expirations—remain watchlists that could shape sector flows into next week’s earnings and Fed-related headlines.
