Office Hours Today After the Close!
Join us from 4:15 PM–5:00 PM ET in the Forum!
Renewed inflation concerns and lingering tariff pressure play well for this company.
Plus, Anthropic’s briefing, Next Era & Dominion Energy, SpaceX timing and other headlines moving stocks this morning.
Let’s scan through the headlines for the stories of the week that speak to our Pro Portfolio holdings.
We added to two holdings this week, and are eyeing these others right now
If Apple can deliver on its Siri overhaul, we could see the upgrade cycle accelerate.
Rising demand and margin leverage put this Pro Portfolio holding is a strong spot.
Oil and the dollar climb, lackluster Trump-Xi summit wins and other headlines moving stocks this morning.
Alright, folks, that is it for me today. I have an $AMAT earnings call to listen to and am also getting an early jump on the Pro Portfolio’s Weekly Roundup.
Thanks for letting me play once again in the sandbox. Hope to see you ‘round these parts again before too long. Dougie is back at the wheel tomorrow.
Position: TheStreet Pro Portfolio is long AMAT shares.
As you can see in the table below, we have a modicum of earnings reports after today’s close. While you may be a customer or even a fan of Boot Barn ($BOOT), odds are the market’s focus will be on April-quarter results and July-quarter guidance from Applied Materials ($AMAT).

Back in February AMAT shared it sees its semiconductor systems business up more than 20% in calendar 2026. Coming off the increased multi-year outlook from Taiwan Semi ($TSM) this morning and Cisco ($CSCO) resetting its expected 2026 orders from hyperscalers to $9 billion from $5 billion, we’ll want to see AMAT lift that “more than 20%” figure.
And an interesting story about that table. I attempted to use Microsoft Excel’s Data from Picture function three times to recreate it, but each time Excel stalled out. Using Claude, I uploaded the image and asked it to convert it to an Excel table. Done in seconds.
Just saying…
Position: The Street Pro Portfolio is long AMAT shares.
