Oil States International enters the week in rough shape. The stock fell 14% on May 5 after a Q1 earnings print that showed net income collapsing to $1.1 million from $3.2 million a year ago — barely beating EPS…
NVIDIA enters May 20 earnings week carrying a notable contradiction: a sharp pullback in price despite short sellers trimming positions. The stock dropped 7.8% on the week to $196.50, yet the bears don't seem to be the…
NVAX just delivered one of its cleaner earnings surprises in recent memory — Q1 revenue of $139.5M crushed the $78.3M consensus estimate, and a loss of $0.06 per share came in $0.17 better than expected. The stock…
NiSource enters its May 11 Q1 2026 earnings call in a notably cleaner position than six weeks ago — short sellers are heading for the exit, borrow costs have collapsed, and analysts have been steadily raising their…
NBIX closed the week at $135.06, up 5.4% in five sessions, as a clean Q1 earnings release on May 5 triggered a wave of analyst target increases the following morning — a rare show of broad post-results conviction. The…
NFLX has dropped sharply over the past month — and its own executives chose this week to cash out, adding an awkward note to an already bruised tape. The selling is notable for its concentration. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos…
NACCO Industries filed its Q1 2026 results on May 5, and the market's reaction this week tells a very different story from its last earnings outing — a 15.97% single-day collapse following the March 2026 print. The…

Modine Manufacturing heads into its May 20 earnings report on a 15% surge in a single week, with short sellers meaningfully retreating as the stock has pushed above analyst consensus targets. The stock closed Tuesday…
MU has just put in one of its most striking runs in years. The stock gained 27% in a week and 75% in a month, closing at $640.20. That kind of move compresses every ratio, tests every price target, and forces the…

Microsoft enters the post-earnings week with options traders showing their most defensive posture in months — even as short sellers barely register a presence in the stock. The clearest tension this week is in the…
MRK heads into its next earnings cycle with options traders growing more defensive even as short sellers trim positions — a divergence that defines the week's setup. The clearest signal this week comes from options.…

LLY enters the week at $988.87, up 13.1% over five sessions — its sharpest weekly rally in recent memory — as a strong earnings beat on April 30 reset expectations and sent a wave of upward analyst revisions through…
