Traditional big tech names like Alphabet, Nvidia and many more have been correcting double digits from their all time highs. The only bullish names are companies related to memory, as both traders & investors continue to pour investments into them. Overall a temporary paper loss, but I expect the year to still end with pretty decent gains. Let's see. 

$Strategy(MSTR.US) The bifurcation in stock markets continued in the last week when investors dumped cryptocurrencies. Notably, Bitcoin struggled to hold support at the $60,000 level. BTC fell to around $58,000 before getting back to support levels. Strategy is leading its panicked selling. The software-turned-BTC holder has heavy dividend payment commitments for its preferred shares. The more Bitcoin falls, the deeper its mark-to-market losses get. And this is completely expected. Cryptocurrencies rely heavily on demand and supply, and with the bears taking over, the slump continues. Holding Strategy is like holding BTC with additional risks - negative sentiment around Strategy's operations/tactics. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Meta Platforms(META.US) Meta Platforms shares rose 4.77% to $593.39 on Monday after the launch of a new AI tool for Facebook, ending a six-day decline. Despite this rebound, Meta's stock is still down about 10% for the year, contrasting with the S&P 500's nearly 9% gain. The company faced pressures due to a weaker outlook and rising costs, though analysts suggest its advertising business and user base may sustain long-term growth. Meta has continually proved to be a cash generating company, though its capex has also raised eyebrows as they tend to overspend on products that turn our unsuccessful. Regardless, I'm bullish in the long term. @Bridge Buzz SG

$IREN(IREN.US) In April 2024, the Bitcoin network completed its fourth halving but block reward was cut, halving mining companies' revenue. Everyone thought a wave of miners was about to die. But they didn't. Not only did they survive, they signed contracts worth hundreds of billions of dollars, issued investment-grade bonds, and achieved profit margins higher than during the peak of mining. IREN secured a $970 million five-year GPU cloud service contract from Microsoft and signed a $340 million deal with Nvidia. The same megawatt of electricity used for Bitcoin mining results in revenue that fluctuates wildly with the price of Bitcoin. However, leasing that megawatt to an AI company to host a GPU cluster generates three times the revenue of traditional mining. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Super Micro Computer(SMCI.US) Odine has entered a strategic partnership with Supermicro to enhance AI infrastructure in Türkiye. This collaboration will enable Odine to deploy high-performance GPU systems and cloud architectures necessary for AI factory solutions, addressing the growing demands for data processing and operational efficiency. The partnership aims to support diverse sectors, including telecommunications and finance, while advancing AI infrastructure capabilities across the region. Besides, SMCI received a Buy rating from analysts at current price, indicating a huge upside potential to perhaps around $50. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US) Google Gemini is partnering with CapCut to integrate video and image editing features into its AI assistant platform. Users will soon be able to access CapCut's editing functionalities within the Gemini app, though specific features and pricing details remain unannounced. This collaboration aims to enhance Gemini's AI capabilities while addressing competition in the creator tools market, following previous integrations between the two companies. Google is rapidly collaborating with external parties to improve Gemini, with CaoCut following the footsteps of Canva. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Nebius(NBIS.US) Nebius Group will join the Nasdaq-100 effective before market opening on June 22, following the Nasdaq's quarterly index reconstitution. This inclusion is expected to generate significant buying pressure as passive funds and ETFs tracking the index will need to purchase Nebius shares. Nebius has reported a Q1 2026 revenue of $399 million, marking a 684% year-over-year increase, further supported by backing from Nvidia and partnerships with Microsoft and Meta. I see a long term opportunity in the stock as there is still much untapped potential to be realised. Besides, there is a possibility that they might do a stock split in the coming years for more retail investors to afford it. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Amazon(AMZN.US) Amazon is reporting earnings after the bell and AWS remains one of the key things to take note of. On top of that, tonight will be Powell's last FED meeting and rate cut decision, and this would definitely affect the overall market on top of the earnings of Mag 7 companies. Expect volatility of maybe around 5% based on options statistics and how people are estimating earnings to turn out. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Amazon(AMZN.US) Amazon plans to spend an additional $13 billion in India by 2030 to expand and support artificial-intelligence and cloud infrastructure in the country. The planned outlay builds on the $35 billion investment across its businesses in India that was outlined in December, the U.S. tech company said Thursday. The latest investment will go toward expanding Amazon Web Services' data-center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, as well as giving enterprises and government organizations access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, cloud technologies and developer tools. This is a strategic movie by Amazon as they look to capture market share and demand in the rapidly developing economy of India, but announcing more expenditure at this juncture may do more harm than good. @Bridge Buzz SG

$Unitedhealth(UNH.US) Midterm years are usually not as favourable for healthcare stocks as the turnover in policies may not be good for the sector. This is especially evident after Trump took over Presidency, and his policies are harsher on the profitability of healthcare companies. Nonetheless, Unitedhealth remains one of the biggest healthcare operator in the US and I expect them to compound and eventually get back up. @Bridge Buzz SG

Trump just posted on X that he has reached an agreement with Iran to "highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future" and that Strait of Hormuz is now open without Naval blockade, with about 19 million barrels of oil flowing out yesterday. I don't know how much truth there is in his words, but it seems that he is trying to calm the stock market. I personally is no longer as emotionally affected by his words anymore as we all know from time to time again that what was agreed upon may change within days, if not hours. 

$Super Micro Computer(SMCI.US) SMCI is trading slightly higher despite a broader market selloff, recovering from an 8.5% drop on Friday. The decline was triggered by stronger May payrolls, which raised the 10-year yield and reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, alongside disappointing earnings guidance from Broadcom impacting AI hardware stocks. Recent developments include the launch of new AI infrastructure products and a $2 billion deal in India, though a compliance scandal involving smuggling accusations still poses a significant challenge for the company. I believe the stock is poised for a long term growth, and I'll be adding if there are any further dips. @Bridge Buzz SG

The market is overly optimistic right now with software stocks recovering sharply as well from the Saas apocalypse. The US stock market is surging to new highs everyday, with memory stocks leading the way. Yet, staple & consumer stocks that have great fundamentals like bank stocks are overlooked and remain relatively cheap with low p/e. 

The US is going all out against Iran these few days, according to Trump who is fed up with Iran not agreeing to the negotiation and taking forever to come to a deal. The stock market is close to extreme fear territory again, just 2 months after the market started to recover. However, pullback of 5% or more typically happens at least once, if not a few times a year. It presents an opportunity to buy the dips on fundamentally solid companies, though it remains to be seen whether the global sentiment is starting to turn bearish.
