Circle has emerged as one of the standout players in the current cryptocurrency boom—specifically within the fast-growing stablecoin sector.

JPMorgan analysts who cover $Amazon(AMZN)$ and $Meta(META)$ are optimistic on the results these two hyperscalers will report this week, and Bram Kaplan, head of America equity derivatives strategy, has mapped out a similar approach to position for upside in both stocks.Amazon is JPMorgan’s top pick among internet stocks for this earnings season, and both the Jassy-led and Zuckerberg-led companies are rated as “overweight” by the bank, in part because of tax benefits thanks to the OBBBA.
