For the past few years, investors could hardly go wrong simply putting their money into the economy's biggest companies. The Magnificent Seven stocks -- Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Tesla -- were almost single-handedly pulling the S&P 500 higher, and investors consistently chased them.
This year has been a different story. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF is up 6% year to date, but it trails the 12% return of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and the 27% return of the Vanguard Information Technology ETF.
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 »
I see two factors in particular having changed this year.
From 2023 to 2025, investors bought the biggest and earliest winners from the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. That's no longer the case.

The Magnificent 7 stocks are having a tough ride in 2026, and only Apple (AAPL) is outperforming the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX). Digging deeper, Nvidia (NVDA) is the only other constituent that is up in double digits. Despite its recent rally, Tesla (TSLA) is still down over 18% year-to-date (YTD) and is the worst-performing Mag 7 stock.
The price action is not difficult to explain. Investors are now getting increasingly wary of tech companies' ever-rising capex to build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Apple was an outlier in the AI buildout race and is now sitting pretty as investors realize that waiting it out wasn't exactly a bad move on the iPhone maker's part.

As the stock market rebounds, it's important to watch the stocks that are holding up and are most loved by equity ****** ysts. They may end up becoming the next big opportunities.
Amazon.com (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Dell Technologies (DELL) are three of the seven best stocks where investors can find magnificent profit growth prospects. Investors should be seeking new buy opportunities after the S&P 500 climbed to new highs.
Amphenol (APH) is forming a cup-with-handle base with an 88.17 buy point, according to IBD MarketSurge pattern recognition. The stock, however, slipped below its 50-day moving average. A 2-for-1 stock split went into effect Sept. 2.
Shares gapped up July 29 after Q2 sales and earnings breezed past expectations on solid growth in the IT datacom market.
The company is one of the world's largest providers of fiber-optic and high-speed connectors, including cables and connectors for data centers. Data centers have become an important market for Amphenol as hyperscalers continue the aggressive expansion of AI infrastructure.

Broadcom's AI revenue surged 221% year over year with a forward P/E of 19, making it cheaper than Nvidia despite a similar growth trajectory.
TSMC revenue rose 53% year over year at a forward P/E of 20, and Dell booked a record $61B in AI orders last quarter.
Just released. Our ******* ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and NVIDIA didn't make the cut. Enter your email to see the names that beat NVDA. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
On a recent Earn Your Leisure episode, hosts Troy Millings and Rashaad Bilal split openly on where the next dollar of AI value accrues. Millings argued for names outside the Magnificent 7 and made Broadcom's custom accelerator business the centerpiece of the case. Bilal countered that "you have to go with the people who are on the leaderboard," naming Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Micron (NASDAQ:MU), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and the Nasdaq 100.
I find Millings the more persuasive of the two. Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) posted AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, up 221% year over year, and guided the fourth quarter to $21.7 billion, up 236%. On the earnings call, Hock Tan sketched a trajectory to roughly $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028.

It has been a rollercoaster year for the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, the name given to tech ******* ans Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Of the group, only Meta and Tesla are in the red for the year, down 1.2% and 18.8%, respectively, through market close on Sept. 10.
Both have their fair share of issues, but Meta is a struggling stock that seems to have plenty of upside from its current level. And if history is any indication of what's possible, you may regret not investing while it's having an off year.

No single issue is dragging down Meta's stock; it's a combination of factors, with the two main ones being its AI spending and its ongoing regulatory issues.
This year, Meta is slated to spend between $130 billion and $145 billion on AI-related projects, such as building data centers and other infrastructure. In the second quarter (Q2), it spent $31 billion, which, for perspective, is more than all but 26 public companies have made in profits in their past four quarters combined.

NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey stood alone at the Sphere, attempting to comprehend what she had witnessed after U2's opening night performance in 2023. Mesmerized by the multisensory event, the Queen of All Media had a thought: Could she use the groundbreaking, 4D capabilities of the globe-shaped arena to help others reach their highest potential?
"You could use this technology as a visual, immersive experience to allow people to go deeper for themselves and walk away with a sense of awe and wonder about what it means to be alive," the media mogul, whose empire was built largely by inspiring viewers of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," told The ****** ociated Press. "I know that there's more, and the more could really help people see themselves differently. It has the potential to be an incredible experience of magnificent wonder."
That initial thought became "Oprah Winfrey's AHA," taking place April 2-4 at the Sphere, the $2.3 billion state-of-the-art Las Vegas arena that has hosted performances by The Backstreet Boys, Phish, the Eagles and No Doubt — and a popular "The Wizard of Oz" film experience.
The two-hour live event will feature Winfrey with special guests and performances, including multiple Grammy winner Jacob Collier, poet and author Ocean Vuong, musician Ajeet and gospel singer Wintley Phipps. Among all-star collaborators crafting the experience with Winfrey are Oscar-nominated composer Max Richter, Grammy-nominated musicians Jason White and Jon Hopkins, playwright and MacArthur "genius grant" recipient Tarell Alvin McCraney and Es Devlin, the stage designer for Beyoncé's "Formation" and "Renaissance" world tours. Tickets go on sale to the general public Sept. 25.
It's been 15 years since Winfrey ended her iconic talk show, which last week celebrated its 40th anniversary of reaching U.S. syndication. She has stayed busy with her podcast, her CEO duties for her namesake OWN TV network, and various tours and live events. At 72, when many are embracing retirement, Winfrey isn't ready to slow down completely.

SCHD returned 28.99% through Sept. 1 versus 12.31% for SPY, despite owning none of the Magnificent Seven stocks that dominated market performance in previous years.
SCHD's dividend methodology doubles as a quality and value screen, ranking companies using free cash flow relative to debt, return on equity, dividend yield, and five-year dividend growth.
With only 8% overlap by weight with SPY, a 0.06% expense ratio, and a 3.15% 30-day SEC yield, SCHD provides a relatively inexpensive way to diversify away from the S&P 500's growth and technology concentration.

Investors have spent much of 2026 talking about a potential style rotation. Large-cap growth stocks are still positive year to date, but their leadership has weakened as small-cap and, increasingly, value stocks have taken over more of the market's momentum.

Andoni Iraola's words confirm Liverpool have a new Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian is one of the most underappreciated club icons in recent memory. Firmino never really sought the acclaim of the Anfield crowd.
He was more like a cog in a machine. He kept Jurgen Klopp's side running and he helped provide the stamina and fuel for Sadio Mane and Mo Salah to play at their very best.
Firmino was unselfish. Yet he was capable of doing magnificent things. He worked tirelessly and embraced Klopp's philosophy of gegenpressing to the max.
Without him, who knows whether the Reds would have been able to achieve everything they did. That's how essential the Brazilian was to the operations at Anfield.

Raphinha has received another major accolade after his outstanding display against Feyenoord earned him a place in UEFA's Team of the Week, adding to his recent recognition in LaLiga.
The Barcelona captain was singled out by UEFA's technical observers following a performance in which he scored twice, with his opening goal particularly catching the eye.
Raphinha used a clever feint to beat two Feyenoord defenders before finishing the move in style.
UEFA's **** sment also highlighted the Brazilian's work away from the ball and his influence in several areas of the pitch.
"Against Feyenoord, the Barcelona captain led the press with impressive intensity and made runs behind the defence to create danger from deep, as well as playing between the lines, capping off his performance with two magnificent goals," the UEFA website explains.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride will play with a refined passion in 2026. With the 2025 season in his rearview mirror and the Los Angeles Chargers ahead, McBride is hoping that his passion and premier pass-catching can spark the beginning of a new chapter for the franchise.
The Chargers lost defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who moved on to a head coaching position with the Baltimore Ravens. Still, Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. is on the roster and his skillset poses a significant opposition for McBride. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur still has plans on making McBride the focus of the team offense and it'll come down to pure will to determine whether or not McBride can muscle up.
The Cardinals seem to have a competent offensive personnel group at the skills positions but time will tell how their offensive line fares in 2026. Play-action and the quick passing game are both strategies where LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett are likely to call on McBride's jersey number. McBride is quick and physical, plus his route running makes him a mismatch for most opposing linebackers and safeties.
Ultimately, if the Cardinals are to stand a chance on Sunday, they will rely on their passing attack to propel the offense and that'll mean that McBride must be exceptionally magnificent. The Chargers allowed just 19.8 points per game in 2025, but without the mastermind of Minter, McBride might locate a few breaches that can be exploited.

During the episode aired on September 8, Mad Money host Jim Cramer turned his focus to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), breaking down why the tech giant remains his ultimate "fantasy football" quarterback for steady, reliable portfolio performance. He stated:
We know how to draft on Mad Money so, break out your pen and paper and let's get started. Now, we got to start with our quarterback in fantasy… You're typically only playing one quarterback per week. And what you want here is consistent production. That's why for the past several years, I've picked Apple as my fantasy stock football QB. As always, own it, don't trade it. Not only does Apple make the most beloved products in the world, they're playing a very different game from their mega cap peers. Everybody else is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI. Apple's spending next to nothing, just partnering with AI companies. They desperately want access to Apple's massive user base.
To me, that makes Apple a lot less risky than the other members of the Magnificent Seven. To put that in NFL terms, Apple reminds me of Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. Allen's a known quantity. He was the league MVP two years ago. Then last year, he had 25 passing touchdowns, 14 rushing touchdowns, which, well, it gives you more points in fantasy football. But the main parallel is that both Apple and Allen are now under new management. For the first time in 15 years, Apple has a new CEO, John Ternus, who officially took over from Tim Cook last week. Similarly, at the end of last season, the Buffalo Bills let go of former head coach Sean McDermott, nine seasons, promoting former offensive coordinator Joe Brady to the position.
Cramer's comparison highlights Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) distinct structural advantage within the Magnificent Seven. While rival mega-cap tech peers sink hundreds of billions of dollars into capital-intensive data center builds and proprietary AI infrastructure, the company has adopted a resource-efficient model. By integrating third-party AI capabilities while guarding its massive, high-intent global user base, the company limits its exposure to heavy upfront capital expenditure and margin compression.
Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) high user retention continues to drive significant cash flow generation. Its hardware and premium services loop creates deep consumer loyalty, allowing the company to maintain pricing power and high profitability without taking on the aggressive infrastructure risk carried by other major technology players.

Apple (AAPL) stock has seen a reversal of fortunes of sorts. It underperformed the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) in the first half of the year but has since raced ahead and is now outperforming the tech-heavy index. Apple's price action over the previous couple of years was dampened by lingering concerns that it was lagging in the artificial intelligence (AI) race as investors chased names seen as AI winners.
However, the situation has flipped over the last couple of months. Investors are now getting increasingly wary of tech companies' ever-rising capex to build AI infrastructure. For context, among its Magnificent 7 peers, Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Tesla (TSLA) raised their respective 2026 capex budgets, while Meta Platforms (META) raised the lower end of the guidance by $5 billion. However, it maintained the upper end at $145 billion.

"Magnificent Seven" stocks like Microsoft and Amazon may still trade at or near all-time highs, but you may want to diversify your megacap positions. The "Mag Seven" may have surged thanks to the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, but their future success hinges heavily on AI spending.
There's nothing wrong with being bullish on the AI megatrend, but consider spreading your wagers elsewhere, to other high-growth opportunities. Take, for instance, another trend that isn't slowing down: the digitalization of payments. With this trend, one stock in particular fits the bill: Mastercard (NYSE: MA).
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 »
Mastercard may be synonymous with credit cards, but neither Mastercard nor its competitor Visa (NYSE: V) issues payment cards. Banks issue the cards but use the companies' respective payment networks to operate them.
In other words, payment stocks like Mastercard don't carry consumer credit risk like bank stocks. Think of Mastercard and similar names as the midstream names among financial stocks: middlemen that collect a small fee on every card swipe or digital payment transaction processed through their networks.

Ford Motor Company's (NYSE: F) shares have been in the fast lane. Over the past 12 months, they have climbed 21% (as of Sept. 3). Surprisingly, this performance is ahead of four of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, high-powered companies sitting in the middle of impactful technological trends.
Investors aren't used to this automotive stock putting up strong returns. In the past five years, Ford's share price increased by just 9%. But can the business do a better job at rewarding its investors over the coming half-decade?

At a high level, Ford's operations aren't going to change much going forward. Known for its pickup trucks and SUVs, the company will remain a leading player in this segment of the automotive industry. Its Ford Blue segment will remain the most important financial driver. This division reported revenue of $26.1 billion in the second quarter, representing 54% of the company's total.

Iowa football got its 2026 season off to a roaring start, racing past Northern Illinois on Saturday afternoon in 40-0 shutout fashion from Kinnick Stadium.
Fourth-year quarterback Hank Brown got the start and the Nashville, Tenn., product did not disappoint. Brown was sharp as he directed touchdown drives on each of the Hawkeyes' first three possessions.
Brown finished 12 of 20 passing for 129 yards with a touchdown pass. The 6-foot-4, 218-pound signal-caller made Kirk Ferentz and Tim Lester's decision to tab him as the season-opening starter look like a great one. Transfer receiver Tony Diaz impressed and veteran back Kamari Moulton ran wild.
Iowa's defense was just magnificent as NIU could do nothing offensively all day long. The Hawkeyes also came up with a pair of turnovers.
Deshaun Lee picked off a pass and Ty Hudkins recovered a fumble.

President Donald Trump is proving to be a very challenging commander-in-chief to work around for most investors, even as markets have soared during his tenure. On April 3, 2025, the day after the much-hyped "Liberation Day" barrage of new tariffs, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) fell 4.8% as the Magnificent Seven group of technology companies corrected sharply downward.
Just six trading days later, most of the damage had been erased, leaving investors with whiplash and prompting many to wonder whether they'd sold their **** ets too hastily. Volatility never went away, but it now concentrates in individual stocks rather than the market as a whole. The gap between average single-stock volatility and index volatility hit an all-time high of 31% in early July 2026, according to CBOE Global Markets. Therein lies the crux of why markets are still struggling to get a read on what the president is going to do next.
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 »
U.S. tariff policy has changed more than 50 times since January 2025, according to the Tax Foundation. In most of those cases, investors learned about the policy changes via a social media post from the president. The market's moves with each new change have frequently rivaled past stock market crashes in size.
For instance, Nike crashed 14% on April 3, 2025, and Apple declined by 9%. Both crashes were caused by the companies' heavy reliance on supply chains in Asia, which were hit by the new tariffs. Then, on April 9, 2025, Trump waived the initially declared tariff rates for 90 days, causing Apple to bounce by 15.3%. The S&P 500 itself had its best day since 2008.

Lautaro Martinez has said interest from Barcelona made him proud but outlined his commitment to Inter Milan.
Martinez was named as a potential transfer target for Barcelona as the Spanish champions sought to sign a centre-forward in the summer window.
Barcelona are understood to have made an approach for Martinez, who has scored 175 goals in 378 games for theSerie A side. The approach was turned down with Inter president Giuseppe Marotta insisting the two-time Capocannoniere winner was not for sale at any price.
Martinez has now opened up on the rumours, and said he intends to end his career at the San Siro.
"When these offers and calls come in, it is always a pleasure, because you work to stay at the top. The rumours were true, but I am very clear about my ideas: I wanted to stay here with my teammates and with these magnificent fans," Martinez told Sky Italia.

Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) has seen a reversal of fortunes this year after gaining nearly 65% in 2025 to clock its second-best year ever. The stock was the best-performing Magnificent 7 stock last year by a fairly good margin, but 2026 has been a different ballgame.
Alphabet is up just 6.5% this year and is underperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX). The stock peaked above $400 in May and has since plunged almost 18%. It is now nearing a bear market, which, by definition, is a drawdown of 20% from recent highs. As I noted in my article in January, I did not expect GOOG to repeat its stellar 2025 performance this year. In this article, we'll explore whether the stock's valuations are now attractive enough to make it a "buy" or whether investors should continue to stay on the sidelines.

Calendar dates are not supposed to matter in efficient markets. Stock prices should reflect a company's cash flows, as well as sentiment toward macroeconomic variables such as interest rates. The fact that Labor Day is right around the corner shouldn't matter. Yet for nearly a century, one month has exhibited a noticeably different pattern from the rest of the year.
September is the only month in which the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has posted a negative long-run average return, down roughly 1.1% between 1928 and 2025. While there is no single reason for September's historical weakness, much of the declines are attributed to portfolio managers returning from summer vacations and rebalancing their portfolios. This means liquidity that had thinned out during July and August has to absorb new selling pressure.

Investors should care because the September Effect is influential enough to manifest in even the most crowded growth trades. Let's explore what that could mean for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks.
One practical reason to notice patterns around September is concentration risk. When a handful of richly valued growth stocks dominate the S&P 500, a seasonally weak month can turn into a harsher de-risking event rather than a gentle period of digestion. That is the setting in which AI stocks now sit. More specifically, the largest AI companies, known as the "Magnificent Seven" -- Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, and Meta Platforms -- now make up nearly 34% of the S&P 500's value.

Tech stocks were volatile on Monday as strengthening AI optimism from bullish Nvidia (NVDA) earnings last week clashed with increased odds of a Fed interest rate hike in September.
It's a momentous day for one company in particular — Apple (AAPL). Longtime CEO Tim Cook steps down on Sept. 1 and will hand the reins to senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus.
Cook was seen as a savvy operator, navigating the company through tariffs, supply chain snarls, and the launch of new products such as the Apple Watch and AirPods. He also quadrupled Apple's yearly revenue.
Elsewhere in tech, it was a mixed bag. Semiconductor stocks edged higher on the whole, while software stocks wavered, coming off a big week of decisively strong earnings. Several of the "Magnificent Seven" hyperscaler stocks, however, dropped as concerns about higher borrowing costs and capital expenditures weighed on shares.
OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) fought back against allegations that it stole trade secrets from Apple (AAPL), according to a new court filing published on Monday, as a legal battle between the two highly secretive tech firms heats up.

The name Dolly Parton immediately conjures an image of a larger-than-life figure with big hair, loud makeup, dazzling clothes, enhanced features, and a personality as magnificent as the music legacy ******* ociated with it. This multi-dimensional visual is only fitting for a cultural icon who fashioned a persona so colorful that to honor Parton's amazing life as an artist would be incomplete without celebrating her unmatched style.
The Grammy-winning country singer, who died on August 25, 2026, of cancer, was a truly original fashion icon — even though she demurred at the notion of being considered one. Right from her girlhood days in Tennessee, where she grew up as a poor farmer's daughter who found creative ways to beautify herself, to her time as a globally beloved celebrity who, despite relentless lampooning, stayed true to her authentic tastes, Parton was a masterclass in catching every curveball and turning it into an opportunity for greatness.
The best part was that she refused to compromise. "It took me probably years longer to be taken serious, but I wasn't willing to change it, and I figured if I had the talent, it'd show up sooner or later," she told The Guardian. And she did; the industry could overlook a talent as exceptional as Parton for only so long. There have been few, after all, who could play perfect chords with extra-long acrylic nails. Here is the significance behind Dolly Parton's signature style and why she was never seen without it.

The Colorado Rockies came into this game having just ended their longest losing streak of the season by narrowly beating the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Tuesday. A magnificent start from Tanner Gordon combined with a home run parade from the Rockies lineup made for a remarkable tone shift compared to just two days ago with the Rockies winning 13-1.
After rejoining the rotation just last week, Gordon had his best outing of the season.
When the game began, it did not seem like Gordon would last nearly as long as he did as Washington hitters came out of the gate with hard contact. In the first, Dylan Crews notched a triple into deep right field where he was stranded thanks to a groundout by Daylen Lile.
In the second, though, the Nationals got on the board with a leadoff home run from Andres Chaparro.

Dolly Parton, the songwriter and singer from Locust Ridge, Tennessee, died Tuesday, Aug. 25. Her death sparked a tsunami of support and reflection from the media, her family and friends, colleagues, and her fans.
When someone lives a life as loudly and publicly as Parton did for 80 years, it's of little surprise that that person will be written about for days, weeks, and years to come after their death. But one article about Parton from The Washington Post is getting a lot of attention — and it's because its author missed a crucial detail of the singer's life.
"Dolly Parton's lack of children demonstrated that the world could in fact love a woman who wasn't a mother," the Post wrote on X — a statement that's already fairly outrageous. The message continued, "But more importantly, she was proof that a person could be an advocate for children while personally choosing against parenting."
In her column, Ashley Fetters Maloy wrote that she loves Parton "for the same reasons everyone loves Dolly Parton." For Maloy, that list includes that her "songs are undeniably powerful, her joy infectious, her hair magnificent" and her "quietly subversive jokes about her ***** and her fashion sense will never not be funny, or poignant."
(I feel compelled to note here that people loved Parton for many, many more reasons — for example, those of us who also grew up in small Southern towns and who have been on the receiving end of a whole lot of judgement for that have often been buoyed by Parton's take-no-prisoners approach to being true to who she was, where she was from, and what that meant culturally over the decades.)

It has been a good start to the CEO reign of Coca-Cola's (KO) Henrique Braun, a company lifer who took over the corner office in March.
Shares of the beverage giant are trading at a record high, up 32% year to date alone. What's more, Coca-Cola shares — often thought of as a boring investment because, hey, they sell soda and juice — have outperformed every member of the "Magnificent Seven" tech complex this year, per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data.
While ******* e's stock has bubbled up, Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta (META) is down by 15%, and Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) is off by 22% (the latter being the worst-performing Magnificent Seven member in 2026).
Score one for the expense-watching middle managers at ******* e — a completely different approach than the likes of Meta (aggressively building massive AI data centers) and Tesla (aggressively building robots and robotaxis).
The investment thesis at ******* e has been a classic case of an old-school consumer-products business being reinvented, with a heavy dose of cost cuts and safe-haven appeal in an uncertain world.

The tech sector has been one of the most lucrative places for long-term investors to put their money in recent years. The internet, e-commerce, cloud computing, and, more recently, artificial intelligence have been some of the central innovations fueling growth in the sector.
The S&P 500's performance has become heavily tied to tech stocks. The "Magnificent Seven" stocks make up more than one-third of the S&P 500's total value, and that group doesn't even include other trillion-dollar tech companies like Broadcom and Micron.

After a dizzying week centered on mixed retail earnings, rising bond yields, and a surprise intervention from the Treasury Department, investors step into another action-packed five-day stretch. The president plans to unveil an economic battle plan against Iran, AI kingpin Nvidia (NVDA) will report earnings to punctuate Big Tech's quarter, and all-important inflation data will arrive to steer the Fed on its next rate-setting journey. Economists and central bankers will huddle at the Jackson Hole Symposium, too.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) closed out Friday up 0.4% for a loss of 1.4% on the week. The Dow (^DJI) rose 1% to close the week on a loss of 0.9%. And the Nasdaq (^IXIC) increased 0.4% but shed 2% on the week.
Retailers across the budget spectrum will continue the stretch of earnings offering insight into the American consumer. **** 'S Sporting Goods (DKS) will report on Tuesday, followed by Five Below (FIVE), Urban Outfitters (URBN), and Bath & Body Works (BBWI) on Wednesday. Ulta Beauty (ULTA) will share results on Thursday after major retailers last week spotlighted beauty as a growth center. And Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) will shed light on how strongly middle- and higher-income Americans are trading down and hunting for bargains. But perhaps the most attention will land on Nvidia, reporting on Wednesday, in a test of the comeback AI trade.
The economic data front is just as busy. The Chicago Fed will kick the week off delivering the national activity index. Tuesday will feature the Conference Board's consumer confidence surveys. And then all eyes will turn to the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the PCE price index, on Wednesday, helping to define which way the central bank will go at its next policy meeting in September. The University of Michigan's consumer surveys on inflation expectations and the broader economy will round out the week.
The last of the "Magnificent Seven" is set to report on Wednesday in what amounts to a test of the once flagging but now resurgent AI trade.
