Ideas

Intuit guidance disappoints; shares sink.
Intuit's fiscal 2027 guidance disappointed: revenue of $23.28B-$23.51B was only at the low end of Street estimates, operating income of $8.06B-$8.15B was below the roughly $10B consensus, and EPS of $22.80-$23.12 was far below the roughly $27 expected. Shares dropped about 11% after hours, compounding a 46% year-to-date decline amid the SaaS slowdown.

Moderna upgrade on melanoma vaccine.
Moderna was the S&P 500's best performer, up 14%, after Wolfe Research upgraded it to Outperform from Underperform. The upgrade cited positive melanoma vaccine trial results that de-risk the company's mRNA platform.

Nvidia earnings key AI watch.
Nvidia is the key AI-industry report to watch. Shares rose 2.2% on the day and about 14% year-to-date, and the earnings report will test whether Nvidia remains at the center of the AI frenzy even as investors look for other ways to express the AI trade.

Resolve AI wins Google Cloud deployment.
Resolve AI shares rose more than 21% after Google selected its proprietary distributed database technology for deployment at the infrastructure level within Google Cloud. This marks the platform's first major commercial deployment, a significant validation for the roughly $2 billion market-cap company.

Dick's crashes on Foot Locker weakness.
Dick's Sporting Goods had its worst day ever, falling 31% to its lowest level since 2023, because the Foot Locker chain it acquired last year continues to struggle. The company said the footwear market has become increasingly promotional as brands discount on their own websites, while demand shifts to Uggs and Birkenstock. Nike also fell about 3% as a supplier exposed to both Dick's and Foot Locker.

Box guidance misses; shares fall.
Box reported second-quarter revenue above estimates, but its fiscal-year adjusted EPS guidance of about $1.54 came in below its prior view of about $1.56 and below the $1.58 consensus estimate. That bottom-line miss sent shares down roughly 6-8% after hours.
