To The Moon

Today is the most consequential single session of the 2026 earnings calendar. The SPCX lockup opens at the bell. SanDisk and Western Digital report after the close. Beyond Meat reports after the close. Circle reports after the close. Every name on this list has a specific binary playing out today. SNDK $1,431: Memory Sector Direction Gets Decided Tonight SanDisk enters the print at $1,431, down 39% from its June all-time high of $2,354, with premarket showing further pressure around $1,159 ahead of the report. The stock is up 423% year to date and still the S&P 500's top performer for 2026. Options are pricing a 25% move in either direction. Consensus expects approximately $8 billion in Q4 revenue and gross margin within the guided 79 to 81% range. The four numbers that actually move t

Three weeks ago the entire memory complex fell 25% in a month. Two weeks ago it recovered 12 to 26% in a single session after Samsung, Amazon, and Apple each independently confirmed the AI memory shortage is real and extending. Tonight SanDisk and Western Digital report after the close, and the sector finds out whether those demand confirmations translate into the numbers that management can actually put their name on. This is not a routine quarterly update. SanDisk at $1,475 is still 30% below its June all-time high. The stock is up 423% for the year. Options are pricing a 25% move in either direction. Goldman Sachs has a $2,200 Buy target. The bear case sits at $1,027. A 24x spread between bull and bear on a stock that has done 423% YTD is not an analytical disagreement. It is a genuine

The pattern is becoming familiar. SpaceX reported its first-ever quarterly earnings Tuesday night and beat on every single metric. Revenue of $7.8 billion, up 92% year on year, against a $6.8 billion consensus. Net loss of $541 million, a fraction of the $1.9 billion analysts expected. Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 billion, up 191%. AI segment revenue of $2.56 billion, up 247%, against a $2.18 billion estimate. Starlink subscribers hit 12 million, doubling year on year. CFO Bret Johnsen said the company is on pace to reach $100 billion in annualised recurring revenue by year-end, with $6.7 billion in additional cloud services agreements already contracted in the first weeks of Q3 alone. Musk pulled forward the $1 trillion revenue target from 2031 to 2030. SPCX still fell 8% after hours, at one p

$Beyond Meat, Inc.(BYND)$   At 56 cents, Beyond Meat has a market cap under $70 million, is trading 93% below its 52-week high of $7.69, is below the Nasdaq $1.00 minimum bid requirement with an August 31 delisting deadline, and reports Q2 earnings on August 5. That is three days away. The fundamentals are a disaster. The setup is genuinely interesting. Why the Business Case Is Not the Thesis Q1 2026 revenue fell 15.3% year on year to $58.2 million. Gross margin slipped from 12.8% to 10.8%. The company is burning cash with no profitability path visible through 2028 according to analyst models. The $1.1 billion in convertible notes against a sub-$70 million market cap is the structural landmine that makes this un

$Rezolve AI(RZLV)$   That disconnect is the entire RZLV story in one sentence. Rezolve AI just reported preliminary H1 2026 revenue of $127 million, nearly 20 times higher than H1 2025. It has reaffirmed full-year guidance of $360 million. It has partnerships with TCS, Microsoft Foundry, and Zilch. Six analysts have a Strong Buy consensus with an average price target of $10.75. The stock is sitting at approximately $2.30, down 20% year to date and down 78% over three years. Either the analysts are wrong, or the market is pricing something the analysts are not. Understanding which is the only question worth answering. What Rezolve Actually Is Rezolve AI builds AI-powered commerce infrastructure. Not a chatbot. Not a search tool. The specific p

The uncomfortable truth first: Intel has now surged more than 300% from its 2025 low of $17.67, hit an all-time high of $142.32 in June, pulled back to the low $80s in July, and is now at $89 with this week's 11% move adding another leg. At every step of that run, the same debate has repeated. Is this a genuine foundry turnaround or a series of headline-driven pops on a business still losing money? Thursday's catalyst, the expansion of Intel's foundry toolchain for AI chip customers, is the latest entry in that debate. It is also one of the more substantive ones. Here is what actually happened. Intel expanded its purpose-built silicon business beyond networking and IPUs through the Fortinet Security Processor 6 collaboration. The company confirmed 18A-P has entered risk production on sched

Stop calling it a bounce. A bounce is what happens when nothing changed. What happened Thursday is different. Four separate entities, Samsung, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple, each independently confirmed within 24 hours that the AI memory shortage is real, worsening, and extending further than the market had priced. When the buy-side was selling memory stocks on CXMT IPO fears and AI capex peak anxiety, the sell-side of that trade just had its thesis demolished by the four largest technology companies on Earth. Here is the full picture. Samsung reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue with operating profit of 89.5 trillion won, ahead of expectations. More importantly, it warned that memory supply constraints may persist into 2028 and signed multi-year supply agreements with major data cen

Tonight is the most loaded single session of the 2026 earnings season. At 2pm ET the Fed announces. At 2:30pm Warsh speaks. After the close, Microsoft and Meta report. These are not independent events. They form a chain: the Fed sets the discount rate applied to every future dollar of AI spending, and then Microsoft and Meta immediately show whether those future dollars are materialising fast enough to justify the capex. If the Fed holds and sounds balanced, and both MSFT and META beat, the AI trade gets its first clean confirmation in months. If any one of the three goes wrong, the dominoes fall in sequence. Test One — The Fed at 2pm ET The base case is a hold at 3.50 to 3.75%. CME FedWatch currently assigns 64% probability to no change. But this is the second-most uncertain FOMC meeting

The uncomfortable answer first: this is probably both, and deciding which one dominates depends entirely on what August 5 delivers. SanDisk has now fallen roughly 31% in a month from its June all-time high, including Friday's 10.79% single-session drop that led the entire memory complex lower. The stock is at $1,471 premarket, up 2.47% as buyers step back in. Options traders are pricing a 25% move in either direction on August 5 earnings. Goldman Sachs has a $2,200 target with a Buy rating. The bear case targets $1,027 if NAND pricing rolls over. That is a 24x spread between bull and bear, which means the market has no consensus on what SanDisk actually is: AI infrastructure compounder or cyclical memory stock at the wrong point in the cycle. What Caused Friday's Drop There was no company-

The week of July 21 to 25 is the single most instructive week in the memory supercycle so far. Not because of the Tuesday gains. Because of what happened on Friday. Understanding both moves together tells you more about how to trade this sector than any analyst note written this year. Here is the full sequence. Memory stocks fell 25% across July to their lows. Monday July 20 saw a 4 to 6% snap-back as no fresh Korea headlines appeared over the weekend. Then Tuesday exploded: SNDK surged 14.27%, SKHY ADR jumped 13.75%, MU climbed 12.17%, WDC was up 12%, the DRAM ETF gained 11%. The catalyst was a Morgan Stanley report forecasting a 25% memory price increase from Q2 to Q3, with the firm explicitly stating it was buying the dip. BofA called the slump a summer reset.
