  A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY. Here's a full recap: 1. U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching powerful strikes against Iranian targets in response to Iran’s attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said the strikes are meant to impose heavy costs for targeting commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway, calling Iran’s aggression unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire. WTI Crude was up 5% today as the S&P fell 0.5%. $SMH, the semiconductor index, was down 4%. 2. Palantir $PLTR expanded its partnership with GNP Seguros, the largest insurance company in Mexico. GNP will use Palantir to detect claims fraud, improve underwriting precision, process claims more effectively, and expand access to high-quality insurance coverage across Mexico. Another sign Palantir’s international expansion continues. 3. The U.S. is revoking a general license that authorized the sale of Iranian oil, according to a U.S. official. The move comes after attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with the official calling Iran’s actions in the strategic waterway “wholly unacceptable” and warning they will be met with consequences. 4. DeepSeek has reportedly increased hiring of chip-design engineers in recent months as it works on a new chip designed for inference. This adds to a growing trend that keeps pressuring the Nvidia $NVDA narrative: Google $GOOGL and Amazon $AMZN are building major internal chip businesses, Cerebras and Broadcom $AVGO are partnering with OpenAI on chips, Anthropic is reportedly looking to secure custom silicon supply, and now DeepSeek may be moving in the same direction. 5. Netflix $NFLX signed video licensing deals with PMX, BuzzFeed Studios, Condé Nast, Hearst, People Inc., and Tastemade, per Variety. Starting Aug. 3, Netflix will carry publisher videos ranging from 2 minutes to 20+ minutes across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. 6. Penguin Solutions $PENG beat Q3 FY26 expectations with revenue of $478.7M vs. $421.4M estimated and adjusted EPS of $0.84 vs. $0.56 estimated. Net sales hit a quarterly record, up 48% YoY, driven by Integrated Memory revenue more than doubling to $275.1M. The company also raised FY26 guidance, now seeing non-GAAP EPS of $2.60 ± $0.05 vs. $2.28 estimated and net sales growth of 22% ± 2%, up from prior guidance of 12% ± 5%. AI infrastructure momentum also continued, with 4 new customer logos, NVIDIA AI Factory Specialized Partner status, and an expanded ClusterWareAI platform. 7. The top 10 most active options today by contracts traded were $NVDA with 2.3M contracts, $TSLA with 1.9M contracts, $AAPL with 875K contracts, $MU with 698K contracts, $INTC with 643K contracts, $SPCX with 588K contracts, $AMZN with 569K contracts, $META with 565K contracts, $PLTR with 515K contracts, and $MSFT with 508K contracts. 8. Amazon $AMZN launched an eight-part U.S. investment-grade bond sale expected to price today, per Bloomberg. The deal is reportedly around $25B and spans maturities from 2029 to 2066, with expected ratings of A1 from Moody’s, AA from S&P, and AA- from Fitch. 9. Meta $META is rolling out its first proprietary AI image-generation model, Muse Image, inside the Meta AI chatbot. The model will also be embedded across Meta’s apps, including Instagram and WhatsApp, allowing users to generate images from text prompts or edit existing pictures. Advertisers will soon get access as well, giving Meta its own image-creation technology instead of relying on third-party models. 10. Raymond James initiated coverage of SpaceX $SPCX with a Strong Buy rating and an $800 price target, implying a roughly $10.5T market cap. Analyst Brian Gesuale called SpaceX “one of the defining industrial infrastructure companies of the 21st century,” arguing that industrialized access to orbit and AI are creating the biggest infrastructure convergence since the Internet. Raymond James projects SpaceX can grow from $38.5B in revenue and $17.7B in EBITDA today to more than $837B in revenue and $696B in EBITDA by 2031. 11. Microsoft $MSFT is starting to use its own MAI models inside certain Excel and Outlook features, replacing OpenAI and Anthropic for some tasks, per Bloomberg. Tens of thousands of AI prompts in those apps are now reportedly being handled each week by Microsoft’s internal models, signaling the company is increasingly shifting parts of its AI stack in-house. 12. Morgan Stanley says the memory trade $MU $SNDK $WDC $STX may be hitting a peak rate of change, but not the end of the cycle. The firm says memory remains cyclical, with pricing, inventory, and earnings revision momentum potentially nearing a point where the market starts to move sideways or correct. Still, MS views any pullback as happening inside a broader structural bull market for AI capex. Near term, the key focus is earnings and hyperscaler commentary, especially around whether AI spend, token monetization, open-source competition, and “chipflation” impact guidance and margins. Morgan Stanley remains bullish longer term, citing 35%–40% earnings growth in 2027 and the ramp of agentic AI, but prefers areas where the money is actually being spent, favoring DRAM and legacy memory over NAND, while staying least positive on memory module makers. WALL STREET IS THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.

  A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY. Here's a full recap: 1. Trump says the U.S. is reinstating the blockade and will now charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively putting a tariff on one of the world’s most important shipping routes. He also said the U.S. is “probably just going to take over the Strait,” arguing America has guarded it for 50 years without being paid, while warning Iran that the U.S. is prepared to hit them “very hard” tonight and tomorrow. 2. Apple $AAPL is expected to launch a base M6 this fall, but reportedly skip the M6 Pro, M6 Max, and M6 Ultra, moving directly to M7. The M7 Ultra is designed to support up to 1.5TB of memory, roughly double the planned M5 Ultra capacity, and could help power Apple’s future AI server strategy. Apple is also already developing M8 chips with greater AI capabilities, including 2028 chips moving to a 1.4nm process. $AAPL Apple hit an all-time high today. 3. TSMC $TSM reported record Q2 revenue driven by AI demand. June revenue came in around $13.8B, up 6.2% MoM and 67.9% YoY. Q2 revenue was about $39.6B, up 36% YoY and above the roughly $39.4B estimate. First-half 2026 revenue reached about $75.0B. 4. Meta $META is expanding its Richland Parish, Louisiana data center to 5GW of compute capacity, raising the announced investment to over $50B from the original $10B plan. Bloomberg reports the total site cost could exceed $250B when including chips, though Meta has only publicly disclosed $50B. Meta also plans more than $1B in local infrastructure improvements and says the site will support 1,000+ roles once operational. 5. Newly disclosed court records show Apple $AAPL is suing OpenAI, alleging misappropriation of trade secrets likely stemming to a new consumer device. The Information reports OpenAI’s first consumer AI device could launch as early as February, though Apple’s lawsuit could disrupt the timeline. OpenAI has reportedly explored several hardware concepts, including a display-less smart speaker, smart glasses, a digital voice recorder, and a wearable pin. 6. Penguin Solutions $PENG announced a proposed $650M private offering of convertible senior notes due 2031. Proceeds are expected to fund capped call transactions, refinance existing notes, and repay $100M under its credit agreement as part of a broader capital structure move. 7. The top 10 most active options today by contracts traded were $NVDA with 2.6M contracts, $TSLA with 2.0M contracts, $AAPL with 1.6M contracts, $AMZN with 676K contracts, $MSFT with 673K contracts, $MU with 609K contracts, $META with 560K contracts, $DRAM with 499K contracts, $INTC with 460K contracts, and $SPCX with 431K contracts. 8. Korea-focused leveraged ETF AUM peaked above $45B in June, but after the recent pullback has fallen to roughly $28B. Exposure remains heavily concentrated in a few key areas: $14B in SK Hynix-linked products, $6B in Samsung-linked products, and $8B in KOSPI 200-linked products. 9. Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated Rocket Lab $RKLB at Overweight with a $96 price target. Analyst Andres Sheppard highlighted Rocket Lab’s successful U.S. Space Force VICTUS HAZE mission, marking the first time a prime contractor completed an all-in-one Tactically Responsive Space mission covering the rocket, satellite, and on-orbit operations. The firm also called the Iridium acquisition transformative and said it further validates Rocket Lab’s move toward becoming a vertically integrated, end-to-end space company. 10. Intel $INTC is investing $5.7B to expand manufacturing at its Leixlip campus in Ireland. The project will upgrade existing fabs, install new leading-edge equipment, and expand capacity for Xeon 6 and next-gen Xeon processors built on the Intel 3 node. Intel says the investment supports AI and high-performance computing demand while strengthening Europe’s semiconductor supply chain. The Leixlip site employs 4,900 people, with Intel’s total investment in Ireland now above €30B since 1989. 11. Fluence $FLNC signed a contract with Avantus to supply a 200MW / 800MWh Smartstack battery system for the Rexford 2 solar-plus-storage project in Tulare County, California. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with operations targeted for late 2028, and enough capacity to power roughly 84,000 homes. 12. Bernstein says “this time is different” for memory $SNDK $MU, arguing new long-term agreements offer much stronger downside protection than past semiconductor contracts. Unlike prior cycles where customers delayed orders or disputed obligations, Bernstein says today’s memory LTAs are backed by upfront collateral. The firm estimates $SNDK has $11B+ of guarantees supporting roughly $69B of remaining obligations, while $MU holds $18B of deposits plus $4B of letters of credit. Bernstein also says protection is back-end weighted, with collateral coverage rising toward 75%–100% in the outer years when downcycle risk is highest. The bigger shift: counterparties are now hyperscalers and large OEMs with stronger balance sheets, while demand is tied to multi-year AI infrastructure buildouts and rising HBM/DRAM/NAND intensity. Bottom line: LTAs do not eliminate memory cyclicality, but Bernstein believes they improve earnings visibility, pricing durability, and trough protection versus prior cycles. WALL STREET IS THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.
