This upcoming week will see earnings reports from tech giants like Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Novo Nordisk (NVO), Eli Lilly (LLY), Super Micro Computer (SMCI), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Additionally, the Federal Reserve meeting and monthly jobs report are lined up on the calendar.
What caught our attention in the past week was the strong market rebound, led by big-cap earnings despite concerning inflation reports. The standout performances came from the Nasdaq and leading stocks, especially in the tech sector, where heavy AI spending was pledged, signaling a promising future.
Among the companies that flashed buy signals were AI chipmakers such as Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Astera Labs (ALAB), along with AppLovin (APP), KLA (KLAC), Cava Group (CAVA), and Embraer (ERJ).
With earnings on the horizon this week, stocks like Hubbell (HUBB), Wingstop (WING), Texas Roadhouse (TXRH), and Generac (GNRC) are flashing buy signals, indicating potential opportunities for investors.
However, it’s crucial for investors to observe the changing market dynamics. While optimism is on the rise, caution is advised, especially with major indexes still below their 50-day moving averages. The heavy earnings lineup might sway market sentiment and sectoral performance, with a focus on Super Micro and AMD for AI hardware plays. Keep an eye on AI-related updates from Apple, as they could impact a range of stocks.
As the market navigates the upcoming week, it’s essential to stay informed about the Fed meeting, key economic data releases, and how they could potentially impact the market trajectory.
At Extreme Investor Network, we track stocks like Nvidia, Novo Nordisk, Generac, KLA, and Cava on IBD Leaderboard, with Eli Lilly on the Leaderboard watchlist. Nvidia and KLA can also be found on SwingTrader, while KLA is part of IBD Long-Term Leaders.

Dive into Dow Jones Futures Today
Trading enthusiasts can catch the action in Dow Jones futures when they open at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, alongside S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures. However, remember that overnight futures trading doesn’t always mirror the regular stock market session.
Unpacking the Stock Market Rally
The past week witnessed a robust stock market rally, with notable gains in the Nasdaq and leading stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.7%, the S&P 500 index surged 2.7%, the Nasdaq composite saw a 4.2% jump, and the Russell 2000 experienced a 2.8% increase.
The rally, starting strong on Monday following a series of losses, faced some hurdles mid-week due to inflation data and Meta Platforms (META) guidance concerns. Nevertheless, the market rebounded as strong earnings from Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) injected fresh optimism.
With a focus on the tech sector, AI chipmakers like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Astera Labs showed promising signs. The major indexes are approaching the critical 50-day moving average, indicating potential resistance levels. Additionally, key economic indicators, including Treasury yields and Fed rate cut speculations, are likely to sway market sentiments in the upcoming week.
