🌙 After the Close

The Nasdaq closed lower as Nvidia's slide after Jensen Huang's exit dragged the chip group down, while the Dow held and the S&P slipped. AMD was among the names giving back gains as traders questioned the AI trade without Huang. This is a tech problem rather than a broad exit, but the day still leaves the market risk-off, with Treasury yields pushing higher and adding pressure on long-duration tech. The week's gain is a cushion, not evidence that buyers have returned.

Nothing with company figures has come out since the close, so the main post-bell story is the FAA. It ordered a ground stop for flights at all U.S. airports over what it called extraordinary circumstances, and the cause it gave is not yet clear. Futures point to a weaker open for the Nasdaq, with the Nasdaq 100 contracts falling the most, while the Dow contracts are nearly flat. That split tells you the tech selling is still the story into the next session, and the flight disruption is a wild card nobody can price yet.

⚠️ Risks & Opportunities

• Chip leadership is the market's weak link: Nasdaq 100 futures are down 1.6% against a 0.7% drop in S&P 500 futures and a flat Dow, so the damage is concentrated in technology and any further Nvidia-driven selling will hit the index hardest.
• Rates and the dollar are working against growth stocks: the 30-year bond futures are down 0.5%, the 10-year yield is up about 1%, and the dollar index is higher, while gold is flat, which points to real yields as the pressure point to watch into the next session.
• Cisco and Nebius show the market is punishing guidance, not results: Cisco beat and raised but fell 6.2% for reasons the headlines don't yet explain, while Nebius beat on earnings and still dropped 16% after signaling heavier 2026 capex and a weaker outlook.
• Defensive leadership looks like rotation rather than panic: Consumer Staples (+1.4%), Communication Services (+1.1%), and Energy (+1.0%) are leading, and crude is holding near $89 WTI and $96 Brent, which keeps energy names a reasonable hedge if yields keep climbing.
• With the VIX at 19.3 and up 3%, index downside protection is still reasonably priced, so I would rather buy puts or collars on the Nasdaq than chase the chip names here, since the week's gains came from a rally that has not yet been tested by rising yields.

🚀 Notable Movers

• NU rose 11.03% with no specific catalyst in the news. The Q3 report was mixed: EPS of $0.22 missed the $0.23 estimate by 2.8%, while revenue of $6.30B beat the $5.96B estimate by 5.7%.
• SHG climbed 4.53% and no catalyst shows up in the news. Its gain sits inside a Financial sector that rose 0.8%, and Japanese bank Mizuho's 2.2% rise on a beat points the same way.
• FOXA gained 4.22% with no specific catalyst in the news. The stock's move came after a report that beat handily, with EPS of $2.54 against $1.99 expected and revenue of $4.57B against $4.32B.
• APP rose 3.81% on no catalyst the news explains. Its Q3 report beat on both lines, with EPS of $4.30 against $4.03 and revenue of $2.18B against $2.07B. The securities class action headlines are a separate matter and did not drive today's move.
• KB Financial added 3.74% with no specific catalyst in the news, and the gain tracks the Financial sector's 0.8% advance.
• NBIS dropped 10.08%, the sharpest loss among the names here. Its Q3 report beat on both lines, but the headlines from November 12 say the stock fell after management raised its 2026 capex plans and issued a weak outlook, and that the company addressed worries about financing its AI buildout. Those headlines explain the reaction from that day, and today's slide appears to extend it.
• AMD fell 8.83% even though it beat on EPS ($2.09 against $1.95) and on revenue ($13.38B against $13.10B). The news doesn't pin down a reason for today's move; the Zacks piece on NVIDIA's leadership problems hints at chip rivals gaining, but it doesn't say that caused the drop.
• DELL slid 7.22% with no specific catalyst in the news. Its decline lines up with the broader AI hardware and semiconductor selling in the tape.
• CSCO fell 6.34% even though it beat on EPS ($1.40 against $1.33) and revenue ($18.50B against $18.12B), and it raised its full-year outlook. The headlines from November 12 are positive, so the reason for the drop is not clear yet.
• COHR dropped 6.15% after beating on EPS ($2.09 against $1.99) and revenue ($2.37B against $2.31B). No catalyst shows up in the news, so the move looks like part of the same tech and AI hardware selloff that hit most of the sector.
• The cluster here is the story. Technology fell 2.0%, and the names that dropped most (AMD, DELL, CSCO, COHR, NBIS) sit in AI hardware and networking, with memory and storage names like SNDK and WDC down about 5% as well. Financials and staples were the places to be.
