To The Moon

I. Key Events

AVGO (Broadcom): Down 3% on Guidance Miss

Q3 results slightly beat market expectations, Q4 in line, with clear FY2027/FY2028 outlook provided. However, FY2027 revenue guidance of $115 billion fell short of the market's $130 billion expectation; FY2028 expectations, in contrast, far exceeded Wall Street consensus. Growth is heavily dependent on Anthropic and OpenAI, introducing significant uncertainty to the outlook.

Key level to watch: whether the stock pulls back to the 20-month MA at 320.

SNOW (Snowflake): Surged 23% on Accelerating Growth

Annual revenue growth is accelerating, with Q3 revenue growth of 37–38% (above market expectations of 30%), and full-year guidance raised from 31% to 36%. There may be further upside in the coming months.

Approach: watch for Sell Put opportunities after the stock stabilizes.

HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise): Down 6% on Margin Pressure

FY2027 guidance was significantly raised, but cloud and AI operating margins are expected to decline from 17% to 15% in Q4, and further to 13% in FY2027.

Approach: if the stock can hold above 44, Sell Put could be considered.

NVDA (NVIDIA): Up 3.2% on Infrastructure Narrative Strengthening

Jensen Huang stated at the G20 Summit that AI is like infrastructure — water and electricity — and that nearly $1 trillion will be invested in U.S. infrastructure within the next year.

The stock has reached elevated levels; shareholders could consider Covered Call strategies.

II. Notable Block Trades (Directional Signals)

• INTC (Intel) $INTC 20260918 95.0 CALL$ Sell Call, strike 95, expiry 2026-09-18, volume 18,000 contracts (opening) — interpretation: betting it won't break above 95 before Triple Witching; shareholders could use Covered Calls.

• XLE (Energy ETF) $XLE 20261218 62.5 PUT$ Buy Put, strike 62.5, expiry 2026-12-18, volume 14,000 contracts, notional $3.24 million — interpretation: adding to short oil positions after yesterday's opening.

III. Macro Themes (Medium-Term Positioning)

• Anthropic IPO (Late September): Likely scheduled after Triple Witching on 9/18. A trillion-dollar giant's IPO has significant near-term market impact — capital may be reallocated from other mega-caps ahead of the listing; watch for liquidity squeeze.

• Gold Sell Put: If the probability of no rate hike on 9/18 increases → bullish for gold. Watch for Sell Put opportunities on pullbacks.

• SPY / S&P Sell Put (Policy Tailwind): Trump Account passive buying continues (7 million accounts already, with the Treasury Department's default investment vehicle being SPYM). The S&P has already risen 3% → structural tailwind. For those with a medium-to-long-term bullish view, Sell Puts on dips are a better alternative to chasing highs.
