Thread By: Team Jayday 🔽 Stocks To Watch
Heavy buying showing up in SpaceX $SPCX around $110. Interesting area. I’d start small and add 10–15% lower. Just my two cents.
Tesla hitting $318 today is interesting. Wonder if the stock goes sub -$290 before a recovery. $QQQ $SPY $TSLA
Picked up $NOW & $ORCL today, but keeping the position light with the market feeling shaky. Took a 10% loss on $LAC calls I'll be buying shares instead. $QQQ
If I had to pick the names from the earnings I went over today with the best upside potential over the next few months, I’d probably lean $NOW ServiceNow and $GOOGL Google.
ServiceNow delivered a strong quarter with solid revenue growth, accelerating AI adoption, expanding cybersecurity capabilities, and raised full-year subscription revenue guidance.
Despite the pressure on software stocks from AI disruption fears, ServiceNow continues to show why it could be one of the key enterprise platforms benefiting from the AI transition.
Google also remains one of my favorites after another strong earnings report. The biggest question with Google has never been execution it’s valuation and expectations. The company has a history of delivering strong earnings but still experiencing moderate pullbacks before continuation.
Both companies have strong AI tailwinds, but I’d expect volatility along the way. Great earnings don’t always mean straight up moves especially with mega cap names like Google. $SPY $QQQ

Tesla: $TSLA Q2 Earnings Recap ⚡
Tesla delivered a mixed Q2 report: Revenue beat expectations, but earnings missed. $QQQ $SPY
✅Revenue: $28.24B vs. $25.71B expected (+25.5% YoY)
❌ EPS: $0.33 vs. $0.50 expected (-34% miss)
🚗 Deliveries: 480,126 vehicles (+25% YoY), beating estimates
🤖 FSD subscriptions: 1.48M (+56% YoY)
₿ Digital assets: $674M, primarily Bitcoin holdings
Tesla also highlighted its AI and robotics push, with Optimus production lines being installed ahead of planned 2026 production and Cybercab production beginning this quarter.
The company said it surpassed $100B in trailing 12-month revenue for the first time and remains focused on maximizing factory capacity while investing heavily in AI, autonomy, and robotics.
$IBM slightly beat expectations. Infrastructure weakness remains the biggest concern. AI demand is creating opportunities for IBM software and consulting. $QQQ $SPY
✅ EPS: $2.93 vs $2.86 est. (+2.5%)
✅ Revenue: $17.16B vs $16.86B est. (+1.8%)
📈 Software: +5% YoY
➡️ Consulting: Flat
📉 Infrastructure: -7% YoY
Why It Matters
• Software remained the company's strongest business, driven by Red Hat, hybrid cloud, and AI demand.
• Consulting was essentially unchanged from last year.
• Infrastructure revenue declined 7% as IBM Z mainframe sales slowed and some enterprise purchases were delayed.
• Management reaffirmed confidence in long term AI and software growth, but near term revenue expectations were reduced after infrastructure weakness and delayed enterprise deals.
Investors are still waiting for AI growth to materially accelerate IBM's revenue.

BREAKING: Super Micro Computer stock, $SMCI, surges nearly +20% after reporting that it received nearly $60 billion in new orders last quarter.
The company now expected to nearly 5x year-over-year revenue for the quarter.
Sandisk $SNDK currently surging 6% overnight. The stock had pulled back roughly 43% from its recent highs in a very short period of time. Pretty self explanatory. $QQQ $SPY
Rigetti Computing $RGTI is down roughly 75% from its all time high and has recently pulled back about 50%.
It's now sitting near a key support level with the 120 SMA just below. A recovery back to $28 would represent roughly 100% upside from here. $SPY $IWM $QQQ
