Mega-cap tech surged overnight on Nvidia's RTX Spark and Vera platform announcements, with QQQ +0.76% and TQQQ +2.26% leading the charge. Enterprise software dominated gainers—CRM +10.5%, ORCL +10.6%, NOW +9.4%, DELL +11.0%—as Jensen Huang dismissed AI disruption fears, while semiconductor winners MRVL +8.6%, ARM +16.0%, and CDNS +9.5% rallied on infrastructure tailwinds. Losers were clear: INTC -6.0% and QCOM -8.9% face PC market share threats, while CEG -7.0% and FDX -17.3% were crushed by secondary dilution and spinoff execution concerns respectively. Gaming stocks surged on M&A momentum (MGM +17.5% on Diller bid; WYNN +6.0%, LVS +5.6%) as sector consolidation accelerates.
Buy:** Enterprise software names (ORCL, CRM, NOW, ADBE) on durable demand tailwinds and today's confirmation that AI augments rather than replaces workers. **Buy:** AI infrastructure plays (MRVL, ARM, ANET, MU) as capex cycles accelerate. **Avoid:** INTC and QCOM—Nvidia's PC chip threat is structural, not cyclical; wait for stabilization. **Avoid:** CEG at current levels given shareholder dilution; FDX management execution remains questionable post-spinoff.
