Consumers just can't catch a break. According to Friday's Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), inflation is holding steady as surging gas prices empty shoppers' wallets.
But that's not all. Year-over-year data about household debt paints a dim picture of the state of consumer finances. However, this week's home sales report offers a silver lining, showing it might be a good time to buy a house.

The Hidden Cost Of Home Insurance

#hidden #cost #home #insurance

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) currently sits around a $5.25 trillion market cap -- a fair bit over second-place Apple at a $4.5 trillion market cap. However, I think this gap will widen quickly, and it all starts this week after Nvidia reports second-quarter earnings on Aug. 26.
After that, I believe that Nvidia's stock will produce a major rally, and lead to it being valued at greater than a $6 trillion valuation by the end of 2026.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
That makes it a no-brainer buy before earnings, as that indicates about a 14% upside -- about double what Nvidia's stock has returned so far this year. Nvidia looks like a smart buy now, and is destined to set new records after Q2 results are available.
With Nvidia, exceeding expectations has become the norm. For Q4 FY 2026, Nvidia expected $65 billion in revenue; it ended up producing $68 billion. For Q1 FY 2027, management guided for $78 billion, yet Nvidia generated $82 billion. This level of outperformance has become the expectation, and with Nvidia projecting $91 billion in revenue for Q2, most investors are likely expecting something in the $93 billion to $94 billion range. Why is that a big deal? Because during Q2 of last year, Nvidia generated $46.7 billion in revenue, which would require revenue of $93.4 billion to double its revenue year over year.

Avantium still wants to make the plastic bottle of the future. The problem is that the future keeps needing more time, more commissioning work and more shareholder cash.
Avantium now expects commercial deliveries from its FDCA flagship plant in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, to begin at the end of this year.
The plant is designed to produce FDCA, the key building block for PEF, Avantium's plant-based and circular polymer marketed under the Releaf brand. Its technology converts plant-based sugars into FDCA, which can then be used to make PEF for bottles, packaging, fibers and specialty applications.
The company said the oxidation unit at the Delfzijl plant has been successfully commissioned, following the start-up of utility systems and the sugar dehydration unit. Commissioning work on the purification unit is being finalized.

Shares of Doximity (NYSE: DOCS) surged on Friday after management highlighted the remarkable returns it was beginning to realize on its artificial intelligence (AI) investments.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Doximity's revenue rose 7% year over year to $156.6 million in its fiscal 2027 first quarter, which ended on June 30.
Yet its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) fell 6% to $74.8 million. The digital networking, news, and telehealth platform for healthcare professionals is spending aggressively to develop its AI tools.
Those investments are beginning to pay off in a big way, according to CEO Jeff Tangney.

SpaceX releases its second-quarter earnings late Tuesday, marking the rocket-maker's first report since its public debut in June. The results should detail the Starbase, Texas-based company's accelerating launch programs, Starlink growth and artificial intelligence developments. The report arrives as SPCX stock last week fell to post-IPO lows.
Beyond financial figures and performance metrics, **** ysts and investors await updates from Elon Musk regarding a potential merger between **** eX and Tesla (TSLA). In addition, roughly 20% of locked-up insider shares will open to potential sale on Aug. 6.
Analysts expect **** eX (SPCX) to report a loss of 23 cents per share on $6.88 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
For Q1, **** eX recorded a loss of $1.27 per share on $4.69 billion in sales, according to the S-1 filing.
Analysts expect artificial intelligence segment sales to primarily drive the quarter-over-quarter revenue growth. FactSet predicts AI revenues jump to $2.18 billion from $818 million in Q1.

Some stock drops look like bad news on the surface. Some are, yes, but some also tell a completely different story underneath.
And I think American Express (AXP) investors have been handed the latter. The payments giant beat earnings expectations, raised its full-year revenue guidance, and reported its strongest card member spending growth in three years. The stock fell anyway.
This kind of reaction can frustrate shareholders and even confuse casual observers. But for "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer, it's a pattern he's seen before, and one he thinks is creating a clear opening.
I think it's a terrific opportunity in one of the best-run companies on earth.
American Express CEO Steve Squeri echoed that confidence in the company's Q2 2026 earnings statement, noting: "Six months into the year, we're seeing stronger momentum than we expected."

Shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) have jumped by more than 7x over the past year, driven by phenomenal growth in the company's revenue and earnings.
However, Micron stock has fallen out of favor with investors lately. It has pulled back 29% since hitting a 52-week high on June 25. This sharp drop is unrelated to the company's financial performance, as it continues to benefit from the ongoing memory shortage. Investors, however, have been rotating out of memory stocks lately, which explains the drop in Micron's shares.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
As a result, it won't be surprising to see Micron management going for a stock split this year. Let's see why that may be the case.
A stock split is a cosmetic move that increases or decreases the number of outstanding shares of a company while keeping the market capitalization constant. A forward stock split is the most common type of stock split, increasing the outstanding share count and lowering the price per share.

A 46-year-old single mother working full time recently posed a question that resonates with millions of Americans: What are the most realistic ways to generate an extra $2,000 to $3,000 a month in passive income?
She explained in a recent Reddit post that she finishes work fairly early each day and has a few evening hours available.
"I know that true passive income usually takes time and effort upfront, so I'm not looking for a 'get rich quick' scheme," she wrote. "I'd rather learn a skill or build something that can grow over time and help me cover unexpected bills and give me a little more financial security.
The responses offered a reality check that many people need to hear.

The artificial intelligence boom has become something larger than a technology cycle. It has evolved into a capital spending race where every major cloud provider feels compelled to build faster than its rivals.
Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), and Meta Platforms (META) are collectively on pace to spend roughly $757 billion on capital expenditures in 2026, according to Goldman Sachs Group (GS), with much of that directed toward AI infrastructure. That spending has fueled explosive growth for chipmakers like Nvidia (NVDA), but cracks are beginning to appear.

Blackstone has moved to exit another of its top-performing portfolio companies, this time iconic American sandwich chain Jersey Mike's Subs.
The New Jersey-based business, known as much for its subs as it is for its ******* ociation with actor and superfan Danny DeVito, filed an S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, paving the way for a debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "JMKE."
The number of shares on offer and the price range have yet to be disclosed.
Proceeds will be used, in part, to pay down a portion of the $760 million of debt the company took on earlier this year to refinance existing borrowings from 2019 and 2021, to make debt repayments and to fund a dividend payout to its sponsor, Blackstone, according to the filing.
