$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ It's interesting to see Nvidia consistently viewed as a core AI holding. The reason, to me, goes well beyond just chips. The company is positioned at the center of the entire AI infrastructure stack—covering compute, networking, software, and the platforms that underpin the next wave of tech. We're seeing AI factories being built around its ecosystem. Robotics firms are leaning on its platforms. Nations competing in sovereign AI are making significant investments in this kind of infrastructure. A good example is Japan launching what's called the world's first national AI factory. The specs are notable: 13,750 Vera CPUs paired with 27,500 Rubin GPUs, a 140 MW capacity, and it's designed to support
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ In my view, this is the last chance for PLTR to resume its upward trend and complete the inverted head-and-shoulders pattern before the earnings reports. I think it will succeed, potentially reaching $163, assuming it can break through the $135 and $140 levels. If it fails at either of those levels, the situation could deteriorate before it finds a new base, possibly around the next earnings. A failure seems more likely at $140 than at $135. If a breakdown appears imminent, my plan would be to exit and potentially take a short position, provided we're not too close to the earnings date. However, if it manages to break above $140, I believe a test of the $163 level is very like
It's hard to believe the effort to keep the price down has been so successful, especially when you look at other AI companies trading at 2x the valuation. Look at $Datadog(DDOG)$ and $Snowflake(SNOW)$ , for example. Neither of them comes close to $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ 's growth or operational margins.
$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ Looking ahead to TSMC's Q2 2026 earnings, set for July 16 before the open. The company recently updated its Q2 revenue figures: NT$1.27 trillion (around $39.6B), which is a 36% year-over-year increase and a record high. That beat the high end of their prior guidance range of $39B to $40.2B. June revenue alone was NT$442.68B, up 67.9% YoY and 6.2% month-over-month, also a record month. First-half 2026 revenue growth is tracking at 35%-36% YoY. This growth is being fueled by AI/HPC demand, advanced nodes like 3nm/2nm, and strong CoWoS advanced packaging demand from key customers. Analyst expectations for the full report are around $39.6B-$39.8B in revenue (up 32%-36% YoY) and EPS of roughly $3.77-$3.89 (
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Earnings estimates are between $0.35 to $0.40. I'm personally thinking somewhere between $0.57 to $0.66 would be a nice result.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is showing serious strength defending the 200-day moving average. Even with broader market sentiment weakening across the board, it's putting on a masterclass by holding that key level. From my perspective, the broader AI trade likely won't break until this one does. A lot of the liquidity and tech sector moves seem to run through this stock.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ There's a chance big money rotates back into PLTR. Quarter after quarter, they keep proving they're still second to none in agentic AI. While some weaker hands panic, the market action continues to reward solid execution.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla still can't make enough Model Y Performance units to meet demand, and now they're about to launch the Model YL. This longer version seems to have a lot of pent-up demand already.
