NVDA, AVGO See Heavy Put Selling as Traders Bet on a Range During Friday’s session, the options market saw sizable deep out-of-the-money put activity in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   and $Broadcom(AVGO)$  . The trades were executed largely at the bid and came against extremely low prior open interest, suggesting new positions were being established. Structurally, the activity points to a neutral-to-bullish strategy in a choppy market environment: selling far out-of-the-money puts to collect time premium, while retaining the ability to accumulate shares should an extreme pullback occur. Starting with AVGO, roughly 4,610 contracts of the March

Bitcoin's 4% Rebound Not Enough to Halt Rush for Insurance Against Slump Bitcoin may be up more than 4% Friday, but the options market for the largest exchange traded fund tied to the cryptocurrency foretells a story of large speculators and institutional investors still holding on to insurance from a potential continued slump.  The biggest open interest in $iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$  options are in put options that could pay off should the price fall below $35. The last time the fund traded below that level was on Sept. 18, 2024, when Bitcoin was still at $60,232.24. It was at $68,937 at 3:12 p.m. Friday in New York.

Netflix Heads for Rebound; Nvidia Sees Higher Short Volume $Netflix(NFLX)$  's stock gained 1.4% Friday, as the streaming giant sought to stage a rebound after a surge in trading in borrowed shares that were sold short fueled the slump to its lowest level since 2024. Short volume jumped to 7.82 million shares Thursday, from 3.97 million shares a day earlier, as the stock fell 4.72%.

Yes, cautiously optimistic. Amazon’s decline reflects capex anxiety, not business weakness. The market is reacting to massive AI infrastructure spending, which depresses near-term free cash flow and raises uncertainty about returns. Investors are effectively pricing Amazon as a capital-heavy utility rather than a growth platform. However, this pattern has occurred before. Amazon historically invests aggressively ahead of demand, builds scale advantages, then monetises later. AWS itself went through this phase before becoming the company’s main profit engine. Today’s spending positions Amazon at the centre of AI compute, logistics automation, and data-driven commerce. If AI demand scales as expected, early infrastructure builders benefit from operating leverage and strong lock-in. Near ter

Q4’25 results: revenue $213 billion (+14% YoY, beat est.), AWS $35.6 billion (+24% YoY, fastest in 13 quarters), operating income $25 billion (beat est.), but EPS $1.95 (slight miss).

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ finds itself at a crossroads again - balancing record-breaking infrastructure investments against a mounting tide of legal challenges that could redefine the social media landscape. While the company continues to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) & augmented reality (AR), it is simultaneously preparing for a landmark trial in New Mexico that analysts see as a potential "storm at the horizon" for the entire tech sector or at least those engaged is social media activities. This trial is particularly dangerous because it seeks to bypass Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act by targeting "product design" rather than content, a legal maneuver that could strip tech giants of their long-standing

$Medtronic PLC(MDT)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter 2026 earnings on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, before the market opens. The company is currently in a "turnaround" phase, shifting from a slow-moving legacy giant to a more innovative, agile competitor.

The US equity markets have endured a rollercoaster ride over the past 14 days, marked by (a) sharp technical corrections and (b) a historic rebound. Volatility culminated in a dramatic "V-shaped" recovery during the first week of February 2026. (see below) By the time first trading week of February 2026 ended: The Dow: Rose by +2.74% (+1,337.90 to 50,115.67) and it crossed the 50,000 mark for the first time.

Nebius Q4 Review: 2026 ARR Unchanged, Execution Still Key; Not the Best Time for NeoClouds Yet? $NEBIUS(NBIS)$   The Q4 earnings report is very “cloud-provider” in its core message: demand is strong → capacity is the real ceiling → first secure power and data-center space, then turn revenue into a run-rate (ARR), while in the short term the income statement may actually look weaker as depreciation and expansion investments weigh on it. Financial Snapshot Q4 2025 – Revenue: 227.7 million (slightly below expectations). – Adjusted EBITDA: +15 million (first time turning positive at the consolidated/group level but below the expected $33 million).  – Net loss from continuing operations: -$249.6 million.

Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, Alphabet See Declining Short Volume Short sellers eased up on their bets against Microsoft, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  , $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  , $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  , and Google parent $Alphabet(GOOGL)$   amid growing debate whether the recent tech sell-off was overdone.  Trading in borrowed $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ shares that were sold short declined for a second straight session to 2.58 million shares Wednesday, representing about 6.1% of the tot

Corporate America's debt dam is bursting, with large US bankruptcies spiking to levels not seen since the 2020 pandemic chaos – 9 major filings last week alone pushed the 3-week rolling average to 6, the highest reading in over five years. At least 18 firms with liabilities exceeding $50 million have collapsed in the past three weeks, signaling deep economic strain as high rates, sticky inflation at 2.8%, and tariff threats crimp cash flows across sectors. This surge echoes dark days: only the post-2001 slowdown, 2008 financial crisis, and 2020 lockdowns saw worse, with the century's peak hitting a 3-week average of 9 in 2009. Bloomberg's chart captures the alarming climb, as courts average more than six big bankruptcies per week – a red flag for investors eyeing fragility in retail, real
