“There isn’t a lot of room for error” in Nvidia (NVDA) earnings, says Andrew Brenner. However, he’s paying more attention to the Fed decision in September.

Zach has a Strong Buy rating on ANF, but has a Sell rating on Kohl’s (KSS) over valu...

He thinks the Fed really needs to watch labor market data into their September meeting. Ryan is also concerned about inflation, and argues that while the U.S. consumer is “fine” right now, incoming tariff impacts could hit hard in the next few quarters. His...

As noted by R. "Ray" Wang, Nvidia (NVDA) beat and raised for eight consecutive quarters, and he believes the company can do it again. He sees A.I. demand only accelerating, backed by six of the Mag 7 companies funneling $80 to $100 billion in capex for the coming year. Ray doesn't expect China to act as a headwind, pointing to Nvidia's massive A.I. ecosystem giving it a long grow...

He thinks it’s a “safe” bet that interest rates will be a lot lower in 12 months, changing the sy...

As for stocks Dale is watching, he expects Apple (AAPL) to break out of its range-bound trading action as i...
