Stock Market: Will the S&P 500 open up or down today?
In May, major stock indices closed at all-time highs, thanks to strong tech stocks and inflation data coming in below expectations. The geopolitical landscape in June appears calmer due to constructive peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, with WTI futures closing down about 9% this week. A Polymarket contract on June 1 showed an 80% chance of the benchmark index opening higher on Monday and a 20% chance of it going lower. Market focus has shifted from wartime volatility to corporate and macroeconomic fundamentals. On Monday, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang will speak at the Taipei International Computer Show, injecting optimism into the AI and tech sectors. June has kicked off with bulls in control, as falling oil prices ease pressure on businesses and consumers, while Nvidia's AI showcase boosts market momentum. Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Broadcom are set to release earnings later this week, providing support for the tech sector's leadership.

eBay faces GameStop increasing its stake to 7.8% with acquisition uncertainties
Economic Observer: After eBay's board rejected GameStop's $56 billion acquisition bid, the latter increased its stake in eBay to 7.8%, raising doubts in the market about the feasibility of the takeover. Recent Events: Following the rejection of the $56 billion acquisition proposal by eBay's board, GameStop (GME) continues to boost its stake in eBay to 7.8%. This move is interpreted by the market as potentially sparking a proxy battle, adding uncertainty to the company's future development. Impact of the Event: The market is generally skeptical about GameStop's debt financing plan of up to $20 billion (with a market cap far below eBay), and eBay's board believes that a merger could jeopardize growth and profitability. This kind of 'snake swallowing an elephant' acquisition uncertainty puts pressure on the stock price.
The biggest flop in AI hardware, with Apple, OpenAI, and Meta scrambling to 'revive' it
In April 2024, a company called Humane sold a brooch for $699, plus a $24 monthly subscription. It's called the AI Pin, founded by two ex-Apple employees, claiming to free you from your phone screen and let you take AI on the go, pinned to your chest. Famous tech blogger MKBHD's review after testing it was: 'The worst product I’ve ever reviewed.' This pretty much reflects the feedback from most users. In less than a year, Humane flipped the company to HP, the AI Pin has been discontinued, servers are shut down, and along with it, the Rabbit R1 and various neck pendants. At that point, 'AI hardware' became synonymous with 'dumb tax.'
Novo Nordisk's Q1 momentum seems real—but Eli Lilly still leads, with oral semaglutide providing comfort rather than a conclusion.
Novo Nordisk's Q1 sales surged by 32% when calculated at fixed exchange rates, reaching 96.8 billion Danish crowns, surpassing expectations and raising the performance guidance for 2026. While it hasn't returned to its former glory, the worst-case scenario has been ruled out. The recent panic led to a significant drop in stock prices, but the Q1 performance exceeding expectations has provided some relief to the market, though confidence hasn't fully bounced back. Novo Nordisk is seeing expanded demand and is defending its product line advantage, but this quarter includes a $4.2 billion clause regarding U.S. government drug pricing, and with Eli Lilly's competing product hitting the market in early April, its unique position as the only oral weight-loss drug in the U.S. is no longer secure. Eli Lilly still holds the lead, with its stock price just 6.5% off its all-time high.
Qualcomm Before June 4 Ex-Dividend: 3.68% Dividend Yield Faces 15% EPS Decline
Qualcomm's ex-dividend date is June 4, 2026, with management raising the quarterly dividend from $0.89 to $0.92 per share, resulting in an annualized dividend of $3.68. They also approved a $20 billion stock buyback plan. However, their stock price has fallen over 36% from its 52-week high. Dividends are increasing alongside stock buybacks, and recent operational performance supports dividend safety. Q2 revenue hit $10.6 billion, with an adjusted EPS of $2.65. They returned $3.7 billion to shareholders, while QCT's automotive business revenue reached a record $1.3 billion, up 38% year-over-year, with an annualized revenue exceeding $5 billion. The market anticipates a significant drop in earnings for Q1, with EPS expected to be around $1.83, potentially dipping as low as $1.46 in some scenarios, and full-year earnings expectations have been lowered by approximately 15%. However, management suggests that the mobile business may bottom out by Q3 2026, with a potential recovery on the horizon.

Palantir's Stock Soars as Software Stocks Regain Favor
Palantir Technologies' stock price surged on Friday, leading the charge in the software sector. With the demand for artificial intelligence heating up, investors are reassessing the growth prospects of this data analytics giant. This spike wasn't driven by any specific fundamentals from the company, but rather coincided with a collective rebound in the software sector. Peers like Microsoft and Salesforce also saw substantial gains, indicating a clear uptick in market sentiment. The core logic propelling this rebound is that Wall Street is starting to reevaluate the software industry, especially those companies deeply tied to artificial intelligence. Palantir, with its AI platform, has achieved rapid expansion among both government and commercial clients. The company's recently released Q1 earnings report showed that revenue from its U.S. commercial business grew by over 40% year-over-year, a growth rate that stands out among large-cap software stocks.

Fed's preferred inflation gauge shows: April core inflation rose to 3.3% year-over-year, in line with market expectations
Key Takeaways The U.S. Commerce Department announced on Thursday that the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index for April rose 0.2% month-over-month and 3.3% year-over-year; the market had previously expected a 0.3% month-over-month increase and a 3.3% year-over-year increase. While the year-over-year data met expectations, the month-over-month increase showed signs of weakening, which could indicate that last month's price surge is starting to cool off. The Commerce Department also revised down the first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate to an annualized 1.6%, below the initial estimate of 2%. The latest price data from Thursday shows that inflation in April continues to exert pressure on consumer spending, and the Fed is likely to keep interest rates steady in the short term until this inflationary wave subsides.
Breaking Through Homogenization: Pinduoduo's 'New Product Launch' Battle 巨潮
(Source: 巨潮WAVE) Editor | Yang Xuran "Long-term homogenized supply will only stifle the innovation drive of merchants." This statement from Zhao Jiazhen, Executive Director and Co-CEO of Pinduoduo Group, highlights, to some extent, the core contradiction between supply and demand in the current e-commerce sector. In recent years, the e-commerce sector seems to revolve around price wars, but when you look deeper, the supply is becoming increasingly similar. A plethora of merchants are circling the same pool of demand; what sells well today, and tomorrow, a bunch of similar products flood the market; someone tweaks the color, changes the packaging, and suddenly, we're off to another round of low-price competition.
