Good MorningU.S. stocks were mixed as investors rotated from technology into blue-chip and defensive leadership. The tension was AI spend versus profitability, with investors still rewarding growth stories but questioning how much capital intensity future earnings can absorb.
The macro driver was the rate backdrop, as yields firmed while mortgage rates stayed below recent stress levels. That combination shifted risk perception toward selective cyclicals, healthcare and quality growth, while making richly valued technology more vulnerable to profit-taking when earnings quality or CapEx payback looked less certain.
Micron stayed in focus after its earnings-driven run, reflecting confidence in AI memory demand but also a higher bar for guidance. Qualcomm drew bullish commentary as investors looked for AI edge-device upside beyond data centers. Intel, Rambus and CoreWeave slid, showing less patience for execution risk and crowded AI positioning. Tesla’s better deliveries and storage figures helped sentiment, though analysts kept the AI roadmap central to the valuation debate. Rivian rallied after raising its 2026 delivery forecast, reinforcing visibility into demand. Traders are watching whether upcoming earnings commentary can defend the AI CapEx premium as market leadership broadens beyond technology.
