📊 Midday Market Take

Hey, happy Thursday afternoon, and the bulls are clearly feeling themselves today. The S&P 500 is up 0.56%, the Nasdaq is leading the charge at 0.82%, and even the Dow is tagging along for a modest 0.08% gain.

Tech is the story driving this session, with AI-adjacent names doing the heavy lifting for the Nasdaq. Keep an eye on whether that momentum holds into the close, because late-session profit-taking has been the move lately when things look this tidy.

3 Reasons to Watch SNOW

• Q1 Double Beat Sent This Stock Flying. Snowflake just dropped a quarter that topped both revenue and earnings estimates, and the market responded with one of the biggest single-day pops in the company's history, up over 35%. That kind of reaction tells you institutions weren't just pleased, they were caught off guard by how good the results actually were.
• Enterprise Demand Is Strong Enough to Raise Guidance. It's one thing to beat a quarter, it's another to turn around and tell investors the rest of the year looks even better. Snowflake raised its forecast on the back of accelerating enterprise demand for its data offerings, which signals this isn't a one-quarter fluke.
• The 30-Day Chart Looks Almost Unreasonable. Snowflake is up nearly 69% over the last 30 days, a run that has analysts lining up to back the stock heading into its next phase of growth. When a company this size moves like a small-cap, it usually means something fundamental has shifted in how the market sees its future.

Elon Now Pays 15X More Than Your Bank (Ad)

Elon Musk is now paying you 15X more than your bank… Thanks to a project he's been working on for the last 27 years. All you have to do is sign up for his new bank. For years, America's biggest banks have been telling you they have no choice but to pay you interest rates as low as 0.4% (that's the national average). Now, suddenly… Elon is exposing many of these bankers for the sharks they really are. He's not offering double… or triple… or even five times the interest… But 15 times the national average — at 6% per year. This is just one of the radical ways Elon's new bank is disrupting the financial sector…
