Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) dropped through its 50-day moving average on Monday as talk of the artificial intelligence bubble bursting starts to get louder. With that in mind, AMD stock is setting up as an interesting bearish candidate when looking for new option trades.
Today, I'll look at a setup known as a bear put spread. This is a bearish option trade that benefits from further downside in the stock price.
A bear put spread is a debit spread, meaning we need to pay the premium in order to open the trade.
On AMD, investors could set up a bear put spread by using the 440 strike as the long put and the 430 strike as the short put for the Sept. 18 expiration. Based on recent trading, this trade would cost around $355 per contract with a maximum potential gain of $645.
To achieve the maximum profit, this trade would need AMD stock to drop a further 13% between now and expiration on Sept. 18.

Big-box retailer Walmart (WMT) has been one of the more disappointing tickers in the market and for arguably obvious reasons. With a spiraling Iran conflict that could potentially worsen, WMT stock faces serious technical pressure. As headwinds in both the energy and consumer markets apply stress to the retail industry, WMT has been on the wrong side of equity transactions.
In the trailing month, Walmart stock has declined by nearly 6%, bringing its year-to-date performance to 1% below parity. Subsequently, the Barchart Technical Opinion indicator rates the ticker as a 72% Strong Sell, with traders seemingly concerned about signs of consumer fatigue that are not adequately balanced out by the trade-down effect.

Earlier this year, the streaming and entertainment industry witnessed one of its most high-stakes megadeals ever, stunning industry observers. Not only is it historic in its size, but it is also predicted to disrupt Hollywood and the media business as we know it.
After years of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) struggling under the weight of billions of dollars in debt, compounded by declining cable viewership and fierce competition from streaming platforms, the company has been considering major strategic changes, including selling its entertainment **** ets to one of its rivals.
Several major players saw the potential in acquiring the media giant, and in December, Netflix announced it would acquire WBD's studios and streaming for $82.7 billion.
But in a surprise eleventh-hour move in late February, the David Ellison-run Paramount became the winner of this bidding war, offering $111 billion to acquire all of WBD's **** ets, including its studios, HBO, streaming platforms, games, and TV networks such as CNN and HGTV. Paramount was recently acquired by Ellison with significant support from his father, Larry Ellison — the Oracle chairman, world's sixth-richest person, and major Trump donor.
Paramount's offer was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in June. However, a federal judge just paused the deal after a lawsuit was filed on July 13 by a coalition of 12 state attorneys general.

Solid oxide fuel cell systems provider Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) recently landed a $1.70 billion deal for fuel cell technology to power artificial intelligence (AI) cloud infrastructure. IDF and Oaktree Capital are committing the sum to Bloom to the meter power solutions for the AI operations of Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS). For investors optimistic about clean energy powering AI data centers, this deal, linking fuel cell energy with AI infrastructure, seems like a huge positive development.
However, investors did not react positively to the news. The stock dropped 13.64% intraday on July 16, as the market reacted to some other news surrounding Bloom Energy. The company's stock has come under pressure after a short report questioned its sourcing of Chinese scandium. The Hunterbrook report alleges that Bloom secretly relies on China for scandium, thereby putting its supply chain at risk. Investors have also noted some insider selling activity in the company's stock.

As the race for quantum supremacy intensifies, investors are weighing the commercial momentum of D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) against the specialized architecture of Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) to decide which is the better buy.
Both companies are pioneers in the quantum ****** e, yet they pursue different technical paths to reach quantum advantage. While D-Wave focuses on solving optimization problems today, Rigetti is building general-purpose quantum computers designed for broad future applications across diverse industries.
D-Wave Quantum specializes in quantum annealing, a specific type of computing designed to solve complex optimization problems such as logistics and manufacturing schedules. The company delivers these services through its Leap cloud platform, serving over 100 organizations including NASA and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Following the acquisition of Quantum Circuits Inc. in early 2026, the company now offers a dual-platform strategy that incorporates gate-model computing alongside its established annealing technology.
In its 2025 fiscal year (FY), revenue reached $24.6 million, representing a significant revenue growth of 178.5% compared to the prior year. Despite this rapid top-line expansion, the company reported a net loss of $355.1 million for the period. This trend reflects the high costs of scaling emerging technologies in the quantum computing sector, which remains highly competitive.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company maintained a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.1x. This ratio measures total debt against shareholder equity, with a lower number indicating that a company is not heavily reliant on borrowed funds. The current ratio stands at 42.4x, which measures the ability to pay short-term liabilities with current ****** ets. Free cash flow was negative at $75.8 million, calculated as cash from operations minus capital expenditures.

Valued at a market capitalization of $83.2 billion, Synopsys (SNPS) stock has underperformed the broader market in recent years. While most chip stocks have crushed index returns, SNPS stock has remained largely range-bound over the last three years.

At the same time, the firm is telling investors that its AI push is working better than expected. Put those two things together, and you get a company reshaping itself in real time.

SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (NYSEARCA:FEZ) gives U.S. investors a simple way to own the 50 largest Eurozone blue chips in a single ticker, and the income it generates is a big part of the appeal. FEZ passes through dividends paid by underlying companies twice a year, and at a recent price of $67 with an expense ratio of 0.29%, holders are buying a basket of European cash-generative giants. The question is whether that income stream is durable, or whether currency swings and geopolitical pressure could thin it out.
FEZ is a passive equity fund tracking the EURO STOXX 50 Index. There are no options premiums, no leverage, no synthetic exposure. The distribution you receive is simply the dollar value of euro-denominated dividends paid by underlying companies, after fees. Two forces drive your check: underlying corporate payout policies and the EUR/USD exchange rate, currently around 1.156. A 10% move in the euro can swing your distribution by roughly the same amount even if every company pays exactly what it did last year.

After years of overperformance from tech stocks, there are some shifting winds in the stock market this year. The reign of tech stocks—powered by hyperscalers and chipmakers—appears to be giving way to the much more mundane world of waste management, plumbing, and electrical wiring—companies found in the industrials sector.
Consider this: the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector Index ($SRIT) gained nearly 70% from 2024-25, by far outdistancing the 36% gain of the S&P 500 Industrials Sector ($SRIN). But so far this year, Industrials have the edge, 17.7% to 15.6%. And in the last month, Industrials are up 5% while the technology sector has tumbled nearly 5%.

Italian energy major Eni has signed an agreement to acquire a 32% stake in three unconventional gas blocks in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale formation, strengthening its position in the country's flagship LNG export ambitions.
The sale and purchase agreement covers the Meseta Buena Esperanza, Aguada Villanueva, and Las Tacanas blocks. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals. Once completed, ownership of the ****** ets will be split between YPF (36%), Eni (32%), and XRG (32%).
The upstream ****** ets will supply gas to the Argentina LNG project, an integrated upstream and midstream development designed to monetize Vaca Muerta's vast shale gas resources. The project is expected to support 12 million metric tons per year (mtpa) of LNG export capacity through two floating LNG (FLNG) units, each capable of producing 6 mtpa.
Eni said the investment aligns with its strategy of building integrated gas value chains that combine upstream production with LNG exports and marketing. The company has increasingly focused on FLNG developments globally as demand for flexible LNG supply continues to grow.
"Our entry into Vaca Muerta... strengthens Eni's ability to develop world-scale gas resources and convert them into competitive LNG for international markets," said Guido Brusco, Eni's Chief Operating Officer for Global Natural Resources.

By Diana Novak Jones
June 23 (Reuters) - Google's YouTube has settled a lawsuit brought by a minor who claimed the platform damaged his mental health, his lawyers ‌said Tuesday, ahead of a second California trial over social media's role in the youth mental health crisis.
The terms of the settlement ‌of the state court lawsuit were confidential, the lawyers said on Tuesday. The suit named four defendants — YouTube, Meta's Instagram, Snap Inc's Snapchat and ByteDance's TikTok — and the remaining three companies are still set to face trial in July.
Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said in a statement that the lawsuit had been amicably resolved. "Our focus remains on building age-appropriate products and parental controls that deliver on that promise," Castaneda said.

What happened: Bitcoin (BTC-USD) dropped more than 4% on Tuesday to hover above $62,000 per token.
What's behind the move: The world's largest cryptocurrency sank alongside the overall market as tech stocks fell. Bitcoin's trajectory this week has mostly followed the major averages, particularly the tech sector.
The token turned lower overnight "as investors seem keen to cut their risk exposure all round," noted David Morrison, senior market **** yst at Trade Nation.
"As things stand, it looks vulnerable to further weakness should investors continue to reduce their equity holdings," he added.
What else you need to know: Bitcoin has struggled to make a comeback this year, with strategists warning a cyclical bear market for cryptocurrencies may not be over.

Perhaps some growth investors have given up on Microsoft because it's not doubling revenue year over year like some of the top-performing AI stocks. However, it's still gaining ground on its peers thanks to AI, which has translated into steady financial growth.
Revenue inched up by 18% year over year in Microsoft's fiscal 2026 third quarter. CEO Satya Nadella said the company's AI business reached an annual revenue run rate of $37 billion, a 123% year-over-year increase. Microsoft Cloud once again remained the main growth driver, and it was up by 29% year over year.

Madison Investments, an investment advisor, released its first-quarter 2026 investor letter for the "Madison Large Cap Fund". A copy of the letter is available to download here. The Madison Large Cap Fund (Class I) declined 2.7% in the quarter, outperforming the S&P 500's -4.33% return. The fund focuses on long-term capital appreciation. The quarter saw a shift in the equity market beyond the mega-cap technology stocks into physical economy stocks, influenced by fears of AI disruption. Additionally, rising commodity prices due to the Middle East conflict reignited inflation concerns, benefiting sectors such as Energy, Materials, Utilities, Staples, and Real Estate, which the Fund does not invest in, impacting its relative performance. Please review the Fund's top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2026.
In its first-quarter 2026 investor letter, Madison Large Cap Fund highlighted Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A). Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) is a leading global provider of application-focused solutions to the life sciences, diagnostics, and applied chemical markets. On June 15, 2026, Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) closed at $130.59 per share. One-month return of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) was 14.75%, and its shares gained 17.50% over the past 52 weeks. Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) has a market capitalization of $36.88 billion.
Madison Large Cap Fund stated the following regarding Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
"Our two life science tools investments, Danaher and Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A), round out the top five detractors. Both companies reported results broadly consistent with expectations. However, while each respective company's outlook for 2026 calls for continued end market recovery, it was at a slower pace than investors hoped. Furthermore, investors appear to also have ascribed some level of "AI risk" to these companies on the belief that AI technology could enable customers to simulate research experiments, thus reducing the need to purchase instruments and consumables used for physical experiments in the lab. We believe that there is a low likelihood that this will ultimately occur, and even if it did happen, early-stage R&D activity represents a very small percentage of Agilent and Danaher's revenue."
Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) is not on our list of 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds Heading Into 2026. According to our database, 63 hedge fund portfolios held Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) at the end of the first quarter, compared to 71 in the previous quarter. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) reported $1.83 billion in revenue, up 6.3% on a core basis, exceeding the high end of guidance. While we acknowledge the potential of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If yo

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is one of the best AI networking stocks to buy according to ******* ysts. The company gave investors a fresh AI infrastructure catalyst on June 9, when it announced the AI XPV Platform with Apollo and Blackstone as initial anchor investors.
The platform is designed to enable more than 20 gigawatts of compute capacity through 2028 using Broadcom's XPUs and networking solutions customized for frontier AI labs, including Anthropic and OpenAI. It is launching with an initial $35 billion tranche, led by Apollo in partnership with Blackstone, to support Anthropic's planned expansion of more than 1 gigawatt of compute infrastructure at Fluidstack-based sites, starting in mid-2026.

That makes Broadcom one of the cleanest fits for an AI networking list because the story is not only about custom accelerators. The company's AI infrastructure roadmap also depends on networking solutions that connect accelerators, servers, and large-scale AI clusters for training and inference. Broadcom said the platform creates a scalable framework for future XPU-based compute capacity and networking aimed at enabling frontier model training and inference at lower cost and power.
Broadcom's latest results reinforced the momentum. On June 3, the company reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $22.19 billion, up 48% year over year, while AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion, up 143%, driven by demand for custom AI accelerators and AI networking.
