What’s Hot on the Watchlist This Week?
Hey there, Stock Region readers!
It’s a fascinating day in the markets, and we’re here with the highlights to help you stay ahead of the curve. Whether you’re bullish, bearish, or somewhere in between, there’s a little something for everyone on today’s watchlist. Grab your coffee (or tea), take a comfy seat, and dig into these updates—you don’t want to miss the action!
Goldman Sachs ($GS): Banking on Big Returns
Whoa, Goldman Sachs is on fire! They've crushed Q2 earnings expectations, delivering an impressive 14.5% revenue growth. What’s driving this? A 26% surge in investment banking fees and a jaw-dropping 36% rise in equities revenue. Yes, you read that right—36%.
Investors couldn’t get enough, pushing the stock higher in premarket trading. If you’re holding $GS or watching from the sidelines, pay attention to key levels: $713.84 on the upside and $698.79 on the downside. Personally, I’m impressed by how resilient Goldman remains, even in today’s rocky macroeconomic environment. Are they setting a new gold standard? Sure feels like it.
ASML ($ASML.AS): Riding the AI Wave
ASML is flexing its muscles, reporting €5.54 billion in net bookings for Q2. The AI boom is clearly paying off big time for them, as chipmakers snapping up their cutting-edge lithography machines have fueled this demand. Oh, and news flash—their fancy EUV machines (the ones everyone in semiconductors seems obsessed with) now account for 42% of the pie. That’s huge.
But, as always, there’s a catch. Geopolitical uncertainties could cause turbulence, with 2026 growth potentially hitting a wall, thanks to pesky tariffs impacting U.S. chipmakers. Short-term stock levels to keep on your radar are $767.90 up top and support down at $760.96. My two cents? ASML is THE tech backbone the AI world cannot function without, and that makes them one to watch, even during uncertainty.
Diageo ($DEO): Cheers or Tears?
It’s tough love time for Diageo. The iconic beverage giant is planning a CEO swap after a rough stretch—hello, tumbling sales and an unhappy dip in share prices. I’ve got mixed feelings here. Leadership changes can be a great fresh start, but they can also be unpredictable.
On the brighter side, this could ignite a turnaround that sparks innovation and energizes their market presence. Keep a close watch on $105.68 as the upside and $103.71 as the downside. Would I pour myself a drink over this yet? Not quite—but I’ll keep the bottle handy for when they turn the corner.
Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ): Steady as She Goes
Johnson & Johnson is the kind of stock that makes you sleep better at night—reliable, steady, and quietly crushing it. They just beat Q2 earnings expectations (again) and raised their full-year guidance. That’s confidence right there, folks.
Their Innovative Medicines and MedTech segments are delivering robust growth, but what I really admire is their unwavering commitment to returning value to shareholders. Case in point? Another quarterly dividend. Good ol’ J&J—when they say dependable, they mean it.
This week’s watchlist highlights the wild, unpredictable charm of the market. From J&J’s rock-solid dependability to ASML riding the AI revolution, and even Diageo’s hopes for redemption—there’s a story behind every ticker. And with Goldman Sachs raising the bar (and their stock price), there’s plenty of inspiration for investors to dig into today.
