Rubrik’s (NYSE: RBRK) stock price rebounded robustly in December 2025 and will set a new all-time high by mid-year 2026 because it is vital to the AI ecosphere. The company’s fiscal Q3 results aligned with the newly revealed trend of accelerating AI and cloud adoption, as indicated b.... |
Good MorningSector rotation picked up pace last week, with the Russell 2000 leading major indices higher. The S&P 500 was at record highs, and a sharp drop in the VIX suggests more upside ahead.
AI-related earnings added fuel to the rally. Strong results from Salesforce, Okta, and Snowflake point to accelerating adoption in software and services, not just infrastructure. That broadens the growth story and supports higher valuations.
This week’s earnings slate includes Toll Brothers, Casey’s, Oracle, Chewy, and Costco—with Oracle likely to be the main event.
The Fed meeting is the key risk. A rate cut is still possible, but a hold with a signal toward January remains more likely. Either way, the setup remains bullish. Featured: Do Not Buy Another AI Stock Before Seeing This (Ad)
