It's a dense Tuesday in markets. Earnings, oil, biotech drama, and a landmark AI insider exit are all competing for attention.
General Motors beat estimates this morning. Crude oil jumped over 3%, lifting energy names broadly. Coca-Cola also reported Q1 results, with at least one analyst naming it a top pick after the beat. Cadence Design Systems followed with upbeat Q1 numbers. Analysts raised forecasts on the back of results. Eyes now turn to tomorrow — Amazon and Meta both report Wednesday, with cloud growth and ad resilience the key questions. Alphabet and Visa report Tuesday evening.
Arm Holdings is under pressure today despite a busy chip tape. Qualcomm also fell. Micron is moving the other direction. TD Cowen upgraded it to Buy and raised the target to $660 from $550 — a 20% jump. AI memory demand is the driver. Rambus analysts boosted forecasts after Q1 earnings.
Amgen is the hardest-hit single-stock story. The FDA moved to withdraw TAVNEOS approval over alleged data manipulation. Put activity is heavy in May and June expiry chains. The 14-day RSI has fallen to 39. Bears are leaning in.
CoreWeave saw Magnetar Financial dump $987 million worth of shares between April 15 and April 24. CoreWeave only listed in March 2026. The speed and scale of the exit is notable. Separately, Domino's Pizza pulled 2027 initiatives forward in a bid to compete more aggressively, even as analysts trimmed consensus targets by 3.7% to $416.55.
Oil above $110 continues to support Exxon Mobil and Halliburton call positioning ahead of their results later this week.
