NVDA reports Wednesday after the bell. It's the week's biggest event. Analysts keep raising targets — the consensus just hit $273.73. Bulls have flooded options markets with call buying. Short interest is just 1.2% of free float. Bears have largely stepped aside. All eyes are on AI data-centre demand and export policy impact.
PANW also reports this week. Bulls are piling into near-term calls ahead of the Q3 print. Options activity is heavy at $242–$260 strikes for May 22 expiry.
WMT reports Tuesday. Analysts have been lifting targets into the print. Consumer spending under tariff pressure remains the key question. HD and TGT also post results this week. Together, they offer a clear read on the health of the US consumer.
CAVA reports Tuesday too. Short sellers have been retreating ahead of the print — a bullish signal for the fast-casual chain.
Across the Atlantic, STLAM faces growing bearish pressure ahead of its Q1 results. Short sellers are adding positions. The automaker has struggled with weak demand and margin pressure. It's the clearest sign of European equity stress this week.
Wolfspeed remains under extreme pressure. SI hit 106% of free float. Rocket Lab is surging — up 73% in a month — heading into its own earnings. Shorts are notable there too. Meanwhile, Colliers CEO Jay Hennick filed $22.4M in purchases this week. That level of buying from a chief executive is worth tracking closely.
