AMAT is up 12% and ANET is soaring pre-market due to sales forecasts blowing past estimates. The "memory chip crunch" and AI computing demand are accelerating.

Mag-7 stocks are trading at ~26.5x forward earnings, comparable to the Russell 2000 at ~24x. Valuation compression has occurred because prices stayed flat while earnings grew. The "fear trade" provides a buying opportunity in high-quality growth at reasonable valuations compared to historical premiums. Buy the dip in Big Tech; valuations are no longer stretched relative to the broader market. Regulatory headwinds or a hotter-than-expected CPI print. | 34:50 | |

President Trump is planning to narrow the scope/roll back the 50% tariffs on aluminum and steel to address cost of living.

While legacy auto (Ford/GM) is writing off EV investments due to policy headwinds, Rivian is bucking the trend, signaling it may be capturing the remaining pure-play EV demand.
