Good MorningAn AI valuation reset is underway, but don’t mistake it for a collapse. Last week’s tech sell-off was sharp, yet it likely signals a routine pullback—not a deeper correction. Despite elevated earnings multiples, growth expectations remain strong, and names like AMD continue to outperform.
The next key moment comes Nov. 19, when NVIDIA reports earnings. As the S&P 500’s most significant weight and AI bellwether, its results will likely determine market direction into year-end.
Macro headwinds persist. The government shutdown is delaying key data, including CPI, and the Fed's outlook remains murky. Confidence in rate cuts has slipped, but even two cuts next year could ease pressure on housing and growth.
Earnings season is in its final stretch, but the week ahead includes names in retail, AI infrastructure, and legacy tech. Overall, the results this quarter have beaten expectations, setting the stage for upward revisions in the months to come. Featured: Today's Stock of the Day (Ad)
