Happy Wednesday! Is it just perception, or does the middle of the week always seem like the best time to take a breath and really look at where the market is heading?
We are officially deep into December, and the holiday rush isnât just happening at the mallâitâs happening on the charts. Today, weâre looking at a mix of tech giants flexinâ their muscles and some defensive plays that prove boring is sometimes beautiful.
A few setups stand out as particularly spicy for todayâs session. Letâs dive into whatâs moving.
Netflix ($NFLX)
The Story: Honestly, the crackdown on password sharing seemed risky at first, but that move led to a 9% increase in subscribers this quarter, which is just massive for a company of this size. The ad-supported tier is printing money, and Netflix is getting serious about gaming (70 games in development?).
Take: The diversification here stands out. Netflix isnât just a âwatch a movieâ company anymore; it is becoming an entertainment ecosystem. With big holiday releases coming, engagement is going to be through the roof.
Levels to Watch:
Bullish above: $96.79
Bearish below: $95.19
Amazon ($AMZN)
The Story: E-commerce is projected to grow 12% this quarter. Thatâs huge. Everyone is shopping early, and the âBuy with Primeâ button is basically everywhere now. But the real beast here is AWSâgrowing at 20% year-over-year.
Take: Amazon is the ultimate âset it and forget itâ stock for many, but right now, the AI logistics upgrades are especially exciting. Faster deliveries mean happier customers, and happier customers spend more money. Itâs a simple equation, but Amazon solves it better than anyone.
Levels to Watch:
Bullish above: $226.71
Bearish below: $222.54
Lennar ($LEN)
The Story: Interest rates are high. Mortgages are expensive. Yet, Lennar reports a 7% increase in new home orders. How? Because there is simply no inventory out there. If you want a house, you almost have to build new right now.
Take: This is resilience at its finest. Their focus on affordable housing is smartâcapturing the first-time buyers who are desperate to get into the market. A 24.4% gross margin in this environment is nothing to sneeze at. They are managing costs like pros.
Levels to Watch:
Bullish above: $113.95
Bearish below: $112.23
General Mills ($GIS)
The Story: Revenue is up 6%, mostly because they raised prices and we all kept buying Cheerios anyway. That is pricing power. But the sleeper hit here is the pet food segment, growing at 11%.
Take: In uncertain economic times, people still eat cereal and feed their dogs. $GIS is a classic defensive play. Itâs not flashy, it wonât give you Nvidia-like returns overnight, but it adds that stability your portfolio needs when the tech sector gets shaky.
Watch For: Continued strength if broader markets get volatile.
Keep a close watch today. The volume is picking up as the end of the year approaches, and that can mean erratic moves. Stick to defined levels, manage risk, and avoid forcing a trade if the setup isnât there.
Time to crush it today!
