All eyes land on NVDA Wednesday. The chipmaker reports Q2 fiscal 2027 results with a $5.2 trillion market cap at stake. It is the most watched earnings print of the season. INTU and CRM also report this week. MRVL follows Thursday, with AI demand firmly in focus.
Options traders are betting against the chip rally. MU led all US stocks in bearish options flow this week. The stock is up 239% year-to-date — and put buyers are hedging hard. SNDK ranked second, with a 572% YTD gain making it a prime target. RDDT is under pressure from both sides: short interest jumped 4.1 percentage points in a week to 17.6% of free float. Negative options sentiment is also building there.
Two names flash extreme squeeze setups. QUBT sits at 31.8% short with zero borrow availability. WOLF carries a brutal 83.4% of float short — also with zero shares to borrow.
Bill Gates filed over $160 million in RSG purchases across 17 transactions between August 14 and 19. That is one of his largest disclosed buying sprees of the year. On the sell side, DST Global offloaded nearly $354 million in CHYM stock — a classic early-investor exit after Chime's recent IPO. Stryker board member Ronda Stryker also filed $90 million in SYK sales.
LMT received a fresh upgrade. Analysts set a consensus target of $632.95. EVRG also earned a bump, with the average target moving to $91.95.
