Presented by Groundfloor: Accredited investors can lock in a 9.5% fixed annualized return on a 6-month term — the $10M Bond Note offering is already over 90% subscribed. Secure your spot before it sells out →

Earnings season is running on a strict grading curve this morning. Two AI-adjacent names that beat on both lines are getting sold anyway. A cybersecurity leader that also topped expectations is barely reacting.

On the other side, a hardware giant that lifted its full-year outlook on AI demand is getting paid handsomely, and an old-line audio name is catching a bid on a fresh Buy rating. The market is rewarding raised outlooks and punishing anything that merely met them.

Markets remain volatile and many private investments require years-long commitments.

For a limited time, accredited investors can earn a 9.5% fixed annualized return over a six-month term with the new Groundfloor Bond Note – Already over 90% subscribed.

Your return is fixed, your investment timeline is defined, and your capital is expected back in just 6 months.

Groundfloor has a 100% repayment track record on Notes since launch in 2018. Only available until the $10M offering is fully subscribed.

Dell Technologies (DELL): +10%

The computer maker is jumping after beating expectations on both lines and raising its full-year outlook on the strength of its AI services business. Dell has turned itself into one of the cleaner picks-and-shovels plays on the data center buildout, and a guidance raise this far into the year says the order book is still filling faster than the street assumed.

Sirius XM (SIRI): +5%

Deutsche Bank upgraded the audio company to Buy from Hold with a price target implying more than 60% upside. Sirius has spent years as a value name most of the market forgot about, so a bulge-bracket call for a re-rating is enough to pull it off the mat.

MongoDB (MDB): -13%

The database developer is getting hammered despite beating on both lines and lifting its guidance. A beat-and-raise was apparently the bare minimum heading into this print, and a double-digit selloff on good news says expectations had run well ahead of even a strong quarter.

Credo Technology (CRDO): -8%

The connectivity name is sliding after its gross margin landed a hair below what analysts had penciled in, even though it beat on both revenue and earnings. When a stock trades on AI momentum, a rounding-error miss on margin is enough to get it punished, and that is exactly what is happening here.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW): -2%

The cybersecurity leader is drifting lower despite topping fiscal fourth-quarter expectations on both lines. A clean beat with no fireworks is reading as a non-event, and in a tape that is paying up for raised outlooks, simply clearing the bar is not enough to move the stock.

In this market, why lock up your capital for years? For a limited time, accredited investors can earn a 9.5% fixed annualized return with the new Groundfloor Bond Note.

Your investment has a defined 6-month term, so you will earn a competitive fixed return while keeping your options open for whatever comes next.

Capped at $10M and already over 90% subscribed. It won’t stay open through the close date.

Bloom Energy (BE)

Reddit mentions of the fuel-cell maker have surged over the past 24 hours. The chatter is a mix of the Pelosi household's recently disclosed position, a $20 billion backlog tied to AI data center power, and sector peer FuelCell Energy (FCEL) sitting at the top of StockTwits' trending list this morning.

Bloom is still up more than 100% this year but has slid from a high above $340 to around $200, with a securities class action hanging over it. Whether the fuel-cell trade catches a second wind or keeps unwinding may come down to whether that backlog starts showing up as reported revenue.

✌️That’s it for today.
