🚨 EARNINGS SPOTLIGHT: $NVDA + $CRWD
Two of the biggest tech reports of the week arrive after the bell today.
🟢 NVIDIA $NVDA
• Options imply roughly a ±5–6% move
• That represents nearly a $280B potential market-cap swing
• Wall Street expects roughly $92B revenue
• Investors are watching AI demand, margins, Blackwell/Rubin momentum + forward guidance
🔵 CROWDSTRIKE $CRWD
• Options imply roughly a ±8–9% move
• Wall Street expects roughly $1.44B revenue
• Key focus: net-new ARR, Falcon growth, AI-security demand + guidance

$NVDA $CRWD 👀
💵TUESDAY EARNINGS AFTER THE BELL
Volatility is officially on deck. Several major names report AFTER CLOSE TODAY, with options pricing in some serious movement:
💻 $INTU: ±8.2%
📹 $ZM: ±8.4%
📦 $BOX: ±11.3%
🔥 $SMTC: ±21.5%
✈️ $HEI: ±8.7%
SMTC is the volatility standout, while INTU, ZM & BOX headline a loaded software slate.
Remember: an implied move is not a directional prediction — it reflects the magnitude options are pricing after earnings.
⏰ Reports begin after 4PM ET.
🏠 HOME DEPOT EARNINGS ON DECK — $HD
Home Depot reports TOMORROW MORNING before the bell, kicking off a major week for retail earnings.
📊 Wall Street Expectations
• Revenue: ~$47.3B
• EPS: ~$4.73
• Revenue Growth: ~+4% YoY
• Implied Move: ~±4%
With $HD around $337, options are pricing roughly a $13 move in either direction following earnings.
👀 KEY FOCUS
🏠 Consumer & housing demand
🔨 Pro vs. DIY spending
📈 Comparable sales
💰 Margins & forward guidance
Stifel recently raised its $HD price target to $340 from $320, highlighting strength in its Pro platform.
⏰ Earnings: Tuesday, Aug. 18 — Before Open
Tomorrow morning, we find out if $HD can outperform the move already priced in. 👀🔥

13 stocks I'm focused on for earnings:
MONDAY
$PLTR $123.06 — Reports Monday after close. Options price a 15% move on free cash flow guidance.
TUESDAY
2. $AMD $476.15 — Tuesday print. Core Scientific 2.5 gigawatt deal makes AMD a credible $NVDA alternative.
3. $SPCX $108.37 — First earnings Tuesday, then roughly a billion shares unlock Thursday. Supply is the story. Buying this play under $100 closer to $80.
WEDNESDAY
4. $SNDK $1,214.83 — NAND pricing is the tell. Forward PE near 7 after a 50% July drawdown.
5. $WDC $544.84 — HDD is the storage bottleneck for AI data. Options imply a 16% move.
6. $SHOP $117.15 — Wednesday morning print. Market wants proof AI agents drive GMV instead of eating it.
7. $APP $395.90 — Pixel adds slowed in June and ROAS checks softened. Priced for perfection into Wednesday. Bearish on this one.
8. $LLY $1,147.61 — AI driven drug discovery plus the oral obesity pill ramp Goldman just flagged.
9. $DIS $96.19 — Fiscal Q3 Wednesday. New CEO D'Amaro's first real test with streaming margins in focus. Could be suprise explosion up! $NFLX tanked remember.
THURSDAY
10. $DDOG $267.97 — Observability is the AI tax. Every agent deployment adds logs, traces, and spend.
11. $TTD $18.04 — Down 80% from highs at nine times forward. Any stabilization gets violently rerated.
12. $QBTS $18.08 — AT&T just expanded its annealing deal. Quantum is the next narrative after AI compute.
FRIDAY
13. $OKLO $38.83 — Down 80% from highs. DOE cleared Groves and Meta prepaid a gigawatt campus.

🛡️ PLTR — ±12% (Mon)
⚙️ AMD — ±9% (Tue)

🚗 UBER — ±7% (Wed)
