Now, let’s get to the good stuff. The market is feeling electric, and several names are really standing out this week. Here’s what’s on the radar.
Broadcom (AVGO): The AI Powerhouse
Broadcom is set to report earnings this week, and anticipation is high. The entire market is buzzing about AI, and AVGO is right in the thick of it. Analysts are predicting some huge numbers—a 24% jump in revenue year-over-year. That’s impressive on its own, but the real focus is their AI chip segment, which projections suggest could grow by a massive 66%.
With giants like Google and OpenAI as clients, Broadcom is supplying the hardware that powers the AI revolution. The stock has already climbed 9% since its last report, and there is widespread speculation that guidance on the AI market could be raised. An announcement of a serviceable market exceeding the current $90 billion estimate could prompt significant movement for this stock. This is a key name to watch post-earnings.
Confluent (CFLT): The IBM Buyout Buzz
Did you see this news? IBM is looking to acquire Confluent for a cool $11 billion. Confluent’s stock shot up 28% on the announcement, and it’s easy to see why. This isn’t just another tech acquisition; it’s a major strategic move.
Confluent’s data-streaming platform is the kind of technology that makes modern AI work, feeding it the real-time data it craves. IBM offering a 36% premium over Confluent’s previous market cap highlights just how valuable this tech is. The deal values shares at $31 each. While much of the initial surge has happened, it will be important to watch if the price can hold above $30.80. If the acquisition narrative remains strong, further movement could be on the horizon.
Carvana (CVNA): The Comeback Kid?
There was some skepticism around Carvana for a while, but credit must be given where it’s due. Their turnaround story is becoming hard to ignore. The company has managed to slash its debt by $1.2 billion this year and is making more profit on each car sold. That’s the kind of operational grit that stands out.
The stock has been on a strong 15% run over the past month as the used car market finds its footing. Carvana isn’t just surviving; the company appears to be genuinely fixing its business model from the inside out. Profitability is targeted for 2026, and consistent progress on efficiency milestones could make this a high-risk, high-reward story worth closely following as it unfolds.
That’s all for this week! Stay sharp and do thorough research.
Happy trading,

Solid breakdown on Carvana's operational turnaround. What really stands out is that $1.2 billion debt reduction alongside improving unit economics, basically the company is fixing its fundamentals instead of just chasing growth. The used car market stabilization helps but CVNA's ability to expand margins per vehicle while reducing leverage shows real discipline. If they hit profitability in 2026 this could actally be a case study in business model restructuring.
