$ARM - The company reported earnings beats just above the estimates and guided slightly higher than expectations. This initially led to higher prints after hours but since given those gains back. $APP - The company reported earnings with a beat on EPS and sales, and provided guidance higher than estimates. The price has been whipsawing in the after hours on the strong earnings report and the filing of a prospectus for a mixed shelf offering. $SEZL - The company reported top and bottom earnings beats and raised guidance. Up near $100 in the after hours, the chart indicates a gap fill could be coming as well as a Golden Cross. $ALB - The company shattered earnings expectations with a massive adjusted EPS beat and a significant beat on sales. In addition to lithium, the company also part of a group that produces up to 90% of the world's bromine capacity. Bromine is essential to many industries including lithium-ion battery manufacturing. DASH - The company reported mixed earnings but smoothed over the sales miss with customer engagement highlights. Up over 10% after hours, the daily chart indicates that the price could go on a run as high as $235 - $240. $FSLY - Despite the earnings beats and higher guidance the stock is significantly selling off after hours. The devil may be in the details as positive FCF generation appears to have dropped by 50% YoY and the company is no longer including stock-based compensation in their non-GAAP reporting. $AXON - The company reported top and bottom beats and raised their FY2026 guidance, but it did not appear that the slightly higher figure resonated with investors. The Sales beat was significant, and while the price action after hours did provide for some trades, it hasn't not done much since then. $RDW - The company reported earnings misses and reaffirmed its guidance with the midpoint above estimates. Though the company achieved record contract backlog and gross margin improvements, the big EPS miss was related to the impact of recognizing equity-based compensation associated with the company's acquisition of Edge Autonomy. The company also entered into an equity distribution agreement to offer up to $350M in common stock through agents sold at at-the-market prices. $BBAI - As $PLTR continues to weaken, the "next Palantir" appears to be rising. Potentially forming an inverse H&S, the company also recently had a Silver Cross to complement its favorable earnings report yesterday afternoon. $PGY - The company reports earnings tomorrow morning and has a very interesting chart that appears to indicate a Cup with Handle breakout could be coming. Combined with the high short interest there's a case to be made that the price could gap fill up to just over the 500 Day SMA on a good earnings print. $PURR - Formerly a biotech company, this is now a digital treasury asset company that is accumulating the HYPE token, one of the top performing digital assets. The company also entered into a strategic collaboration with Kalshi to merge decentralized infrastructure with regulated prediction markets. The company reports earnings tomorrow after the close and has been consistently trading inside a rising parallel channel. $JOBY - The company rose today off a better than expected earnings report and is on its way to fill a gap from January. Though the price may struggle to recapture the 200 Day SMA, the company reporting that it has achieved full FAA type certification will more likely send the price over that moving average submitted by /u/LongTermStocks to r/Stoxpo [link] [comments]

If you don't want to obsess over daily EVTOL activities like me and prefer just a weekly snapshot, you may find this useful and healthy for your mental life. I'm no stock guru, so don’t invest just on my advice. When it comes to speculative stocks, you probably have to look at a 1 year basis or even longer. And let’s remember THESE ARE SPECULATIVE. IMO some may be 30 or 50 times bigger in three or four years. And I will eventually get back in with up to 10% of my investments. ____________________________ OVERALL. A small recovery, which I am happy for. Since I sold all my stock in everything, it looks like I may have called the bottom 😊. I hope this war is over soon, or we may see big hits again if the entire market drops and if(when) oil hits $150/barrel. Check out the updates, as there was a lot happening at EVTL and Aerofugia. The rest, pretty quiet, and I really don’t see much happening for quite a while. eIPP will show off Beta’s eCTOL, but no EVTOL flights for people until things are a lot safer. And Dubai is pretty screwed right now. JOBY: Nothing major. With Dubai up in the air, and eIPP EVTOL demonstrations of nothing but cargo for this year (until certification), and just demos of the S4T (Turbine hybrid), it will be a long quiet time, which usually doesn’t mean good for the stock. They are doing a multi-city barnstorming tour which may help with acceptance though. No flights of the N547JX conforming aircraft since the first hover, but this looks predictable because there is lots of ground testing going on. BETA: Nothing major ACHR: Nothing major. No actual flights since their last test flights in October, but they recently got their newest prototype to hover at least 20 feet off the ground, maybe more, for a few times in March. No timeline given for full transition, so basically same VTOL status since 2024. EVTL: Major changes. In mid-December they predicted full piloted transition flight in early 2026. They continue test flights, but no full transition yet. The company today raised $50 million of common equity and expects to receive a further $30 million over the coming weeks, representing approximately $160 million of available capital to execute key certification milestones over the remainder of 2026. In addition to the equity raise, the new comprehensive financing package agreement in principle provides for access to up to $800 million in additional committed capital, across a range of facilities through 2027 and beyond, but not guaranteed. In summary, they get another 3 months (through the end of this year) to get major funding and to demonstrate full transition, or they may not survive. CHINA/AUTOFLIGHT: Nothing new. They have a 5-person aircraft in development, and have demonstrated their 5 ton, 10 passenger “Matrix”. CHINA/AEROFUGIA Their AE200 is a six-seater eVTOL (one pilot and five passengers) April 3, 2026 — Pre-IPO move (major signal) Started formal IPO preparation (“tutoring”) for Shanghai STAR Market listing Working with CSC Financial to get compliant for listing Follows: $146M) funding round in Feb 2026 What this means: This is a big strategic milestone Signals: Confidence in commercial timeline (2026–2027 certification target) CHINA/VOLANT Nothing new.

Week 3 of “Operation Epic FUBAR” indicates that there so far there is no exit, and so far no future UAE EVTOL flights, so it hit speculative stocks hard again this week. ____________________________ JOBY: A nice flight around San Francisco and a nice video https://youtu.be/UHmBjWxO9aI?si=akgS8-OTaZ\_ZpzBT Opened shop.jobyaviation.com for swag. I received a cool t shirt and free socks. BETA: Recently launched the UK’s first flight trials using its Alia CTOL aircraft for medical and mail transport in partnership with Loganair and Royal Mail. ACHR: No actual flights since their last test flights in October, but they recently got their newest prototype to hover at maybe 20 feet off the ground. No timeline given for full transition, so basically same VTOL status since 2024. Some Lawsuit BS between them and Joby, but nothing of import. EVTL: In mid-December they predicted full piloted transition flight in early 2026. They did have test flights this week, but no full transition yet. It’s the chicken or the egg issue: it appears they won’t get funded until they demonstrate full transition, but they may need more money and time to reach transition. No pressure, boys.

(AMZN) Performance Overview 1D Change: 0.09% 5D Change: 2.54% News Volume: 148 Unusual Volume Factor: 1x Amazon Pharmacy Launches Zepbound as Anthropic Sues Pentagon Over AI Restrictions Amazon expanded its healthcare footprint by adding Eli Lilly's weight-loss drug Zepbound KwikPen to Amazon Pharmacy's offerings at $299 monthly for the 2.5 mg starter dose. The company also announced plans to extend same-day pharmacy delivery from nearly 3,000 cities to approximately 4,500 by the end of 2026. In autonomous vehicle development, Amazon's Zoox unit expanded robotaxi testing to Phoenix and Dallas while opening a fleet operations hub in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company reported surpassing one million autonomous miles driven and serving over 300,000 riders across 10 U.S. cities. Amazon's cloud infrastructure business drew attention as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thanked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang for rapidly expanding AI computing capacity on Amazon Web Services. The infrastructure expansion supports OpenAI's growing AI systems requirements. The day's most significant development involved Anthropic, a major AI company backed by Amazon, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration and Department of Defense. The Pentagon designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk after the company refused to remove safety guardrails and allow unrestricted military use of its Claude AI system. Anthropic's lawsuit seeks to overturn the national security blacklist designation, escalating tensions between AI developers and government agencies over technology usage restrictions. Microsoft announced a partnership with Anthropic to integrate Claude Cowork into Microsoft 365 Copilot, potentially strengthening Microsoft's AI agent capabilities. Amazon also made Nvidia Nemotron 3 Nano available on Amazon Bedrock. In other business developments, Simon & Schuster named former Amazon executive Greg Greeley as CEO. Amazon Pay expanded its vehicle insurance portfolio and advanced grocery delivery options in Brazil. The company also opened its less-than-truckload freight business to third parties, extending its influence over the freight industry. Amazon challenged SpaceX's proposal for a massive satellite network at the Federal Communications Commission. Continue reading Jpmorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Performance Overview 1D Change: 0.19% 5D Change: -2.54% News Volume: 90 Unusual Volume Factor: 1x JPMorgan Warns Iran Conflict Could Trigger 10% Market Correction as Strategists Turn Tactically Bearish JPMorgan Chase strategists issued stark warnings that escalating Middle East tensions could drive a 10% correction in the S&P 500, with the firm's trading desk turning tactically bearish and projecting the index could fall to 6,270. Chief Equity Strategist Mislav Matejka cautioned that equity markets may experience further short-term weakness before stabilizing, though he expects the geopolitical-driven selloff to last days or weeks rather than months. The bank's analysis highlighted that U.S. stock traders appear unprepared for the potential correction stemming from the Iran war. However, JPMorgan analysts believe the conflict will likely remain limited and conclude within two weeks. The firm warned that sustained oil supply disruptions could create a stagflationary scenario combining weaker growth with higher inflation, particularly as U.S. gasoline prices have already risen 10-15%. JPMorgan adjusted multiple sector positions in response to the crisis. The bank downgraded EMEA mining and steel stocks, including ArcelorMittal to Underweight with a €40 price target, citing energy cost concerns and Middle East risks. It also downgraded Antofagasta on valuation concerns. The firm warned the crisis could hurt UAE markets while expressing preference for Saudi stocks. In contrast, JPMorgan raised its price target on Shell to 3,600 pence and upgraded Cognex on margin improvement expectations. The bank initiated coverage of SOLV Energy with an overweight rating and maintained its overweight stance on Costco with a $1,060 price target. On the fixed income side, JPMorgan reversed course to turn bullish on U.S. investment-grade bonds, now expecting spreads to tighten by 12 basis points—a reversal from its November projection. In corporate news, a judge ruled that JPMorgan Chase employees may sue the bank over allegedly excessive drug costs and premiums related to payments to CVS Caremark. Separately, the firm hired Fergus Horrobin from UBS as head of international real estate investment banking. Continue reading Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (LYV) Performance Overview 1D Change: 6.19% 5D Change: 2.45% Live Nation Settles DOJ Antitrust Case Without Ticketmaster Divestiture Live Nation Entertainment reached a settlement with the Department of Justice in a federal antitrust lawsuit that accused the company of illegally monopolizing the live music industry. The agreement allows Live Nation to retain ownership of Ticketmaster, avoiding a forced sale that had been a key concern for investors. Under the settlement terms, the company will divest 13 exclusive amphitheater booking agreements and make concessions related to venue contract exclusivity. The deal includes no financial penalties from the DOJ, though Live Nation established a $280 million fund to address claims from state attorneys general. The stock rose 5.7 percent in premarket trading following the announcement. Guggenheim maintained its buy rating on the stock, projecting 9 percent upside. Some state attorneys general and consumer advocates expressed disappointment with the settlement terms. Continue reading Ge Vernova Inc. (GEV) Performance Overview 1D Change: 5.13% 5D Change: -5.78% GE Vernova Receives Rare Double Upgrade on Surging Gas Turbine and AI Demand Rothschild Redburn issued a rare double upgrade for GE Vernova, moving the stock from Sell to Buy and raising its price target to $1,100 from $560, marking the Street's highest target. The firm cited accelerating demand indicators for AI infrastructure and gas turbines since October 2025, with order margins for new gas turbines and service contracts nearly doubling. The upgrade reflects strengthening fundamentals in GE Vernova's core power generation business driven by data center expansion and energy infrastructure needs. Shares outperformed the broader market Monday following the analyst action. Continue reading Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) Performance Overview 1D Change: 5.34% 5D Change: 2.08% AMD Settles Patent Dispute with Adeia, Securing Licensing Deal for Semiconductor Technology AMD reached a licensing agreement with Adeia, resolving ongoing semiconductor patent litigation between the companies. The settlement unlocks next-generation chip technology for AMD, whose stock surged over 2% on the news. Analysts responded positively, with Rosenblatt raising Adeia's price target to $40 and BWS Financial reiterating a Buy rating. Continue reading Oil And Gas Events G7 Delays Emergency Oil Release Despite Crude Surging Above $115 G7 finance ministers agreed Monday not to release strategic oil reserves despite crude prices exceeding $115 per barrel amid the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. Officials cited timing concerns and the need for additional analysis. The International Energy Agency urged a joint stock release during the call, according to Japan's finance minister. A final decision will likely rest with G7 leaders, with energy ministers scheduled to meet Tuesday. Continue reading Dow Drops 500 Points as Oil Surge Past $100 Rattles Markets Amid Iran Tensions U.S. stocks fell sharply Monday, with the Dow Jones sliding 500 points and the S&P 500 declining 1% in the biggest three-day drop since April. Rising oil prices, testing $100 per barrel amid Iran war concerns, fueled stagflation fears and weighed on sentiment. About 72% of S&P 500 stocks traded lower. The Nasdaq showed relative strength, posting modest gains. Individual movers included Tesla and Disney declining, while NIO and Applied Optoelectronics rallied. U.K. markets also weakened, with the FTSE 100 down 0.26%. Continue reading Putin Urges Russian Energy Firms to Capitalize on Price Spike While Pledging Supply to Partners Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged a global energy crisis triggered by Iran conflict, warning that oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz risks complete shutdown. He urged domestic oil and gas producers to exploit surging commodity prices to reduce debt, cautioning the spike will be temporary. Putin emphasized Russia's readiness to supply energy to reliable partners, particularly Europe, though he noted logistics changes for oil deliveries will require significant time and expenditure. Continue reading Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Production as Hormuz Blockage Fills Storage Capacity Saudi Arabia has begun reducing oil production as the near-blockage of the Strait of Hormuz causes storage tanks to fill up. The kingdom produces approximately 10 million barrels daily and exports 7 million, but its alternative Yanbu pipeline lacks sufficient capacity to handle diverted shipments. Aramco is cutting output at two oilfields. Continue reading Oil Futures Plunge Over 10% in Extended Trading Session U.S. crude oil futures dropped more than $5 per barrel in post-settlement trading, falling over 10% alongside heating oil. The WTI futures curve shows steep backwardation with year-ahead contracts at $65. Continue reading Major Gulf Producers Shut Down 6-7 Million Barrels Daily as Hormuz Crisis Deepens Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, and Kuwait have begun shutting down oil production as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains nearly halted. Argus Media estimates 6.2 to 6.9 million barrels per day are now offline, representing roughly 18 percent of global oil supply. Saudi Arabia has closed major offshore fields including Safaniya and Zuluf as export disruptions force crude rerouting. Russian President Putin warned production linked to Hormuz risks complete halt as early as next month, noting logistics changes will require significant time and expenditure. Goldman Sachs cautioned that with Hormuz shipments down 90 percent, oil prices may reach demand-destruction levels faster than historical models predict. Iran loaded crude from its Jask terminal, bypassing the strait closure. Continue reading Oil Prices Plunge 32% in Historic 24-Hour Collapse Crude oil experienced an unprecedented crash, plummeting from $120 to $82 per barrel in 18 hours as war premiums evaporated. WTI traded in a remarkable $27 intraday range, with futures extending losses over $5 in post-settlement trading. The dramatic selloff followed two catalysts: a G7 and IEA announcement releasing 400 million barrels from strategic reserves, and Trump signaling potential war resolution with emergency measures to reduce oil prices. The futures curve turned steeply backwardated, pricing oil at $65 one year out. Continue reading G7 Considers Emergency Oil Reserve Release as Crude Prices Retreat from Recent Highs Oil prices pulled back sharply after reports that G7 nations are discussing a coordinated strategic reserve release. WTI crude gains narrowed from 30% to under 15%, while Brent fell to below $108 per barrel after spiking to $119.50 earlier. The potential reserve release follows last week's 25% surge in Brent prices amid Strait of Hormuz closure concerns. Continue reading Bahrain's Bapco Energies Declares Force Majeure Following Iranian Drone Strike on Oil Refinery Bahrain's sole oil refinery operator Bapco Energies declared force majeure after an Iranian drone attack caused visible damage, halting operations at the nation's only refining facility. Continue reading WTI Crude Surges Nearly 30% to $118.86 in Historic Single-Day Jump WTI crude oil jumped 29.9% or $27.16 per barrel to $118.86, marking its largest single-day gain ever in both percentage and dollar terms. The surge comes amid a two-week Hormuz blockade that has taken 20% of global LNG offline, triggering massive Asian market selloffs. Indian oil stocks including IOC, HPCL, and BPCL declined sharply on the price spike. Continue reading Geopolitics Events Oil Surges Past $100 as US-Iran War Disrupts Supply, Trump Reviews Response Options Oil prices have spiked above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022 as the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran enters its second week, triggering supply disruptions and market volatility. The conflict has pushed crude prices up 10 percent, with some reports indicating prices have surged past $115 per barrel. The price surge stems from supply shocks in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran's security chief Ali Larijani warned that security cannot be restored while the US and Israel continue military operations in the region. The disruption has caused US gas prices to jump above $3.40 per gallon, raising concerns about economic impact ahead of November midterms. President Trump is reviewing multiple options to address rising energy costs, telling reporters he has a plan but declining to provide specifics. The White House confirmed Trump is examining all credible options with G7 partners and US agencies, including potential releases from strategic petroleum reserves. However, G7 finance ministers agreed during a March 9 call not to release reserves yet despite crude surpassing $115 per barrel. Trump ruled out near-term ground operations in Iran, stating the US is nowhere near deploying troops to secure nuclear sites at Isfahan. He also declined to commit to seizing Iranian oil assets, calling such discussions too soon, though he did not rule out the possibility. Market analysts note extreme backwardation in oil futures, suggesting the spike may be temporary and driven primarily by fear rather than fundamental supply changes. Some view the panic selling in airlines and cruise lines as a potential contrarian opportunity. Bank of America had previously flagged $100 oil as a risk threshold for the US economy, with economists warning that sustained high prices could trigger recession fears.
