This market always wants reasons to rally.

AI excitement. “Resilient” consumers. Better-than-feared earnings. Hope for rate cuts.

But reality has a way of asserting itself and crushing hype and narrative. Beneath the headlines, expectations are dangerously high in many stocks.

In our latest Earnings Watch Party, we separated real opportunity from market narratives using Core Earnings and expectations investing. We analyzed:

  • how much future profit growth is baked into NVDA at current levels,
  • if discount retailers like TJX and ROST provide value in uncertain economic times,
  • how WMT and TGT’s cash flows stand up amidst rising costs,
  • if HD and LOW have fallen far enough to provide Attractive risk/reward,
  • whether ADI’s fundamentals support its valuation, and
  • what DE reveals about industrial and agricultural demand trends.

Stocks discussed in this Earnings Watch Party include NVIDIA (NVDA), Walmart (WMT), The Home Depot (HD), Analog Devices (ADI), TJX Companies (TJX), Deere & Company (DE), Lowe’s (LOW), Ross Stores (ROST), Target (TGT), and more.
