$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ Coinbase missed Q1 2026 revenue estimates (reported ~$1.41B vs. ~$1.48–1.52B expected), with a net loss of ~$394M (~$1.49/share), driven primarily by a crypto market slump. Coinbase and Circle have a long-standing, deep partnership. They co-launched USDC in 2018 via the Centre Consortium (later dissolved). Coinbase took an equity stake in Circle (holds millions of shares, valued at ~$1.6B+ at times) and they maintain a commercial/reseller agreement In summary, USDC is a strategic hedge against pure trading volatility providing recurring, interest-driven revenue and a grow
$Intel(INTC)$ $Intel Corp. (INTC) Skyrockets +13.96%: Chip Giant Hits 52-Week High, Momentum at $130 📈 Latest Close Data: On May 11, 2026 (ET), INTC closed at $124.92, surging +13.96% on the day. The stock touched a new 52-week high of $130.57, just $0.10 away from the intraday peak. 💡 Core Market Drivers: The massive rally appears driven by a powerful combination of renewed investor confidence in its turnaround strategy and a potential short squeeze. High short interest in recent weeks (e.g., 14.02% on May 8th) may have fueled the explosive move as the stock broke through key resistance levels. 🔍 Technical Analysis: The move was backed by massive volume (228M shares, Volume Ratio 1.51), indicating strong institutional conviction. The RSI(6) is at
Markets look euphoric, but upside is becoming more selective. Simply “buy and hold anything” worked in the liquidity wave. From here, quality and entry price matter more. NVIDIA at $5T, Advanced Micro Devices at $680B, and Arm Holdings surging on AI CPU repricing suggest plenty of optimism is already priced in. My take: • Chase now? Not aggressively. Better to scale in on pullbacks than buy vertical spikes. • Goldman vs hedge funds? Follow both. Goldman's targets reflect macro upside, hedge fund selling reflects positioning risk. • AI upside left? Still positive, but gains may rotate from GPUs into memory, networking, power infrastructure, industrial automation, and software monetisation. • If Iran cools + Fed cuts: biggest beneficiaries may be small caps, REITs, banks, cyclicals, emerging
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ The revenue beat helps the story, but the market is now judging CoreWeave on quality of growth, not just growth itself. Why the stock fell despite a beat: • Guidance miss > headline beat Markets discount future cash flow, not past quarter revenue. Soft Q2 / FY outlook matters more. • Capital intensity is extreme CoreWeave’s model is expensive. Massive capex, debt financing, and long-term GPU lease obligations create balance-sheet strain. • Margin compression risk If leased NVIDIA GPUs remain costly while hyperscaler pricing competition rises, operating leverage may disappoint. • Concentration risk A few large customers can make revenue look explosive, but customer concentration adds fragility. • Valuation reset After IP
🚀 $IREN Rallies 9% on $2.1B NVIDIA Lifeline: The Crypto Miner That Became an AI Power Plant ⚡
💡 The Pulse $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ When a crypto miner gets a $2.1B endorsement from Jensen Huang himself, you pay attention. $IREN just pulled off the ultimate sector pivot—transforming from a Bitcoin farm into $NVDA's preferred AI infrastructure partner, complete with a $3.4B 5-year contract to power NVIDIA's internal workloads. Shares reversed a -6.77% intraday bloodbath to close +9% after-hours at $61.85, and the Street is scrambling to reprice this name. Meanwhile, $NVDA threw another curveball: a multiyear $GLW (Corning) deal to 10x U.S. optical capacity and build 3 new fiber plants (NC/TX). Translation? The AI infrastructure arms race just went vertical, and $IREN is sitting on the power grid that fuels it. 🔥 Key News (Last 12 Hours) $IREN-$NVDA

$Intel(INTC)$$Micron Technology(MU)$ $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ 📈🧠🔥 Unusual Options Activity Signals a Potential Rotation Into AI Infrastructure, Semis & Strategic Manufacturing 🔥🧠📈 The options market delivered one of the most fascinating positioning sessions of 8May26, with institutional flows aggressively clustering around semiconductors, AI infrastructure, hyperscaler supply chains, memory, aerospace, cloud networking, and tactical macro hedges. What stands out is not simply the volume explosion itself, but the quality of the names attracting the activity. This increasingly looks like capital repositioning for the next phase of the A
GOOD NEWS 🚨 Top market technician Katie Stockton (Fairlead Strategies) just called it: $TSLA is finally showing the positive catalyst we've been waiting for 🔥 ☁️ The stock just confirmed a breakout above long-term "cloud" resistance, signaling improving momentum. 🎯 The ultimate proving ground ahead is the $490-$498 resistance range. 🔺 Zooming out, there is a massive ascending triangle forming—if it breaks out to new all-time highs, it would signal a secular bull market! 🔋 Because this is a fresh turnaround in a tech-friendly environment, there are zero signs of upside exhaustion yet.
The "META Lesson" of early May 2026 has provided a masterclass in market psychology. Last week, Meta Platforms delivered a significant earnings beat, only to see its stock gapped 8.6% lower the next session. The culprit? A staggering 2026 capex guidance of $125B–$145B. The message is clear: the market’s honeymoon phase with "AI potential" is over. Investors are no longer tolerating infinite "AI burn" without a concrete, near-term ROI. Yet, remarkably, the S&P 500 closed firm on Thursday despite this megacap crater. This suggests that capital isn't exiting tech—it's rotating. To navigate this, we have built a model centered on positioning, gamma, and volume profiles. Below is the surgical guide to trading the Mag 7 in this high-stakes environment.

After watching $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ deliver a powerhouse earnings that sent its stock surging 10%, we are all asking the same question : Can HIMS do it too?

$TENCENT(00700)$ WeChat AI Evolution Is More Than A Chatbot 🌟🌟🌟For years WeChat was the "everything app" in China. It is the digital town square where 1.4 billion Chinese lived, chatted and paid. But as we head into the Q1 2026 results on May 13 2026, the narrative is shifting from "connection" to "AI intelligence". There is a profound sense of anticipation. We are not just looking at gaming numbers anymore. We are looking for the soul of the new WeChat. Can an AI agent truly capture the nuances of the Chinese population? The WeChat AI Evolution WeChat isn't just becoming an AI super app. It is becoming an AI Operating System. QClaw Is The New Secret Weapon: Tencent is quietly trialing QClaw,
OCBC Q1 2026 Review: NIM Bleeds 5% While CET1 Stays 15.2% | EP1599🦖
OCBC Q1 2026 Review: NIM Bleeds 5% While CET1 Stays 15.2% | EP1599🦖Twenty three percent growth in OCBC’s non interest income sounds like a nice headline until you realise it is the part of the business most exposed to market mood. The bank used a record S$1.61b in fees, trading and insurance income to patch a 5 percent bleed in core lending and still report a 5 percent net profit rise. My forensic tension is simple: I like fortress CET1 and 0.9 percent NPLs, but I do not like when your retirement cheque leans harder on wealth commissions than on loan margins.For Singapore investors living off CPF, SRS or dividend portfolios, the question is no longer “Is my capital safe?” but “What kind of risk is paying me this yield?” When a stock with a 4.52 percent dividend yield trades more than 26 pe
🔥 $COIN Earnings Crater 31%—But the $305M Stablecoin Secret Says Buy the Blood 💎📉
The Pulse $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $COIN just posted one of its ugliest quarters in recent memory—revenue down 31% YoY to $1.41B, a brutal EPS miss at -$0.17 vs. +$0.11 expected, and 700 layoffs (14% of staff) as the company pivots to AI. Operating margins collapsed from 45.5% to 15.4%. Yet beneath the wreckage, two engines are roaring: USDC stablecoin revenue surged 11% YoY to $305M, and institutional derivatives (post-Deribit acquisition) exploded 37%. The stock bled 3.5% to $199, testing critical support at the $200 psychological level. Is this a value trap—or the last chance to load before stablecoins and derivatives rewrite the narrative? 📊 Key News Revenue Miss: $1.41B (-31% YoY) vs. $1.49B consensus (~5.4% miss) EPS Disaster: -$0.17 ac
Is Singapore Airlines Still Worth Holding Before May 14? | Iggy Answers Podcast | EP1600🦖
Is Singapore Airlines Still Worth Holding Before May 14? | Iggy Answers Podcast | EP1600🦖I keep seeing the same mistake with Singapore Airlines right now: everyone is obsessing over the share price while ignoring the three numbers that will actually decide whether your payout survives May 14. Net profit has already slipped from about S$2,778m to S$2,275m, yet the balance sheet is still one of the cleanest in the sector and SIA is actually earning net interest on its cash. That combination is rare, and it tells a very different story from the headlines.If you are holding SIA in CPF, SRS, or a simple dividend portfolio, your real risk is not “is this blue chip safe” but “how much harvest is left on this tree at a 5.6 percent yield.” On May 14 I am watching three inputs: profit recovery, pass
NVIDIA’s demand ceiling is no longer just “GPU orders”. It is power, HBM, CoWoS packaging, advanced-node wafers, networking, and customer ROI. Hyperscaler demand still looks strong, but Google narrowing the market-cap gap shows the market is starting to reward AI monetisation, not only AI infrastructure. TSMC looks even cleaner as the picks-and-shovels winner. Its April revenue rose 17.5% YoY, Jan-Apr revenue rose 29.9%, and it is guiding capex near the high end of US$52-56B, mainly to support AI and advanced nodes. My view: NVIDIA still has upside, but the easy rerating phase is over. The next leg needs Blackwell/B-series delivery, margin resilience, and proof that customers are not over-ordering. TSMC’s dominance looks more durable, because whether the winner is NVIDIA, AMD,
At this stage, simply holding quality stocks is still working, but blindly buying anything is not. This is a late-cycle, liquidity-driven bull market where leadership is narrow and expectations are extremely high. My read: 1) Chase highs? Not broadly. Buy selectively. Semis, AI infra, storage, and power remain leadership. But after huge moves in NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices, and Arm Holdings, risk/reward is less attractive near-term. Momentum can continue, but pullback odds rise as positioning gets crowded. Recent rallies were tied to Iran deal hopes and strong chip earnings, which also lowered oil and eased rates pressure. 2) Goldman vs hedge funds I would listen to both. Goldman = structural bull case: AI capex + easing financial conditions Hedge funds exiting = tactical warning:
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ The AI infrastructure thesis still holds, but CoreWeave’s equity thesis has become more fragile. Why the stock dropped despite a beat: 1) Guidance missed, and that matters more than backward-looking revenue Q1 revenue was US$2.08B (+112% YoY) and backlog reached US$99.4B, both signalling massive demand. But Q2 guidance missed consensus, which told markets growth may be more uneven than “hyperdrive” headlines imply. 2) Scale is coming with brutal capital intensity Operating expenses doubled, net loss widened to US$740M, and interest expense was US$536M in one quarter. That is the hidden cost of building an AI utility at hyperscale. 3) Leverage risk is real If utilisation slips, pricing softens, or financing cost
