Kyle Clark, CEO of Beta Technologies (BETA), spotlights his electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle company. He compares them to “very large drones,” calling them “extremely quiet and low cost.” He walks through their latest quarterly earnings, which beat on revenue estimates, powered partially by selling their motors and charging systems to other companies. “Nowhere in those numbers is the aircraft sales,” he notes, as they aren’t counting deposits yet. He also notes that recent wins with regulators are causing them to boost guidance.

Jeffrey Stewart brings his new book, The Great Rewiring of Capital Markets, which covers how capital has gone global and sharpened its interest in high-growth tech companies. Regulations are moving to allow access – and it’s important for these companies to go public. He thinks it’s a “golden era” for IPOs where companies won’t wait as long to go public, vs the “mega” IPOs we’ve been seeing over the past few years. He sees gains in “the thousands” ahead for some of these companies.

Smaller Tech IPOs Can Gain ‘Thousands’ of Times After Going Public

Audrey Symes explains what investors should know about the housing affordability bill that’s headed back to the House right now. The purpose-built-to-rent communities that the industry is moving towards shouldn’t be affected by the legislation, she notes, whereas “scattershot” portfolios could take a hit. Increasing affordability really comes down to building more housing, Audrey says, “we still have structural lack of housing.” She blames interest rates, labor and material costs, and zoning as issues contributing to costs.

What to Know About the Housing Affordability Bill

As the U.S.-Iran War continues, Adam Coons suggests investors maintain a "buying list" as certain stocks sell off in the geopolitical pressure. "Look for high quality" companies, says Adam, referring to companies with solid earnings sustainability and little to no debt. Software is one sector he believes got beaten down too much, pointing to Intuit (INTU) and ServiceNow (NOW) as especially oversold.

Bill Davis explains how the U.S./Iran conflict has caused a market rotation back into big tech, but he thinks it’s temporary and the market will continue to broaden this year. He believes the Iran conflict will go on until the U.S. decides the costs outweigh the benefits, and oil could spike up again on headlines. His stock picks right now include Dow (DOW), Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM), Cencora (COR), and Trane (TT). He walks through the names and why he’s interested in them.

Key software companies like Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Salesforce (CRM) help run businesses across the world, says Kim Forrest, making the case "it will be hard to replace" these software-centric giants. She sees lots of nuance in the software trade amid fears that AI will replace many aspects of these companies. On Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, Kim weighs how his comments at GTC 2026 will affect AI's outlook, making the case AI "is not ready" for human judgement. Tom White offers an example options trade for ServiceNow (NOW).

Jessica Inskip is all about tech on today's Big 3. She sees Nvidia's (NVDA) GTC 2026 conference as a catalyst this week, IBM Corp. (IBM) holding enterprise software and blockchain opportunities, and Apple (AAPL) positioned to become a leader in consumer AI. Rick Ducat backs Jessica's analysis with a look at key levels in the stock charts.

The Big 3: NVDA, IBM, AAPL

It's time to get defensive with your portfolios, says Eddie Ghabour, with his firm turning underweight on tech and growing its investments in gold. He adds that a "lose-lose" scenario with the FOMC's stance on rate cuts, paired with heightening tensions in the U.S.-Iran War, will lead to a 10% correction in the S&amp;P 500. Eddie says "I hope I'm wrong on tech," though a deceleration in earnings growth backs his underweight thesis. That said, he sees buying opportunities ahead for these stocks.

Ghabour: 'High Probability' of 10% SPX Correction, Tech Buy Opportunities Coming

Charles Moon offers an example options trade for Nvidia (NVDA) as its GTC conference kicks off later today, also pointing out areas to watch on the Mag 7 giant's stock chart.

Today's Charles Schwab big picture panel focuses on the FOMC and what Fed governors will say regarding Wednesday's interest rate decision. Collin Martin talks about the conundrum the committee has when it comes to weighing persistent inflation against a job market struggling to find its footing. Recent economic data signal a resilient economy, according to Collin, suggesting the Fed will "take their time" to cut rates.

FOMC to 'Take Their Time' Cutting Interest Rates?

Phil Rosen looks at history to make his bullish case for markets this year. He doesn’t think the story for investors has changed “that much” despite the U.S./Iran conflict. It might be time to buy the dip as a long-term investor; he advises against panic selling. On the other hand, he doesn’t see a lot of momentum from big tech, and he doesn’t anticipate the Fed cutting rates any time soon.

Rosen: Market Underestimating the Bull Narrative

Gene Goldman sees opportunities in software, which he thinks is oversold, though he is neutral towards technology overall. Instead, he likes healthcare and industrials and is making a short-term energy play. Within those, he likes biotech and managed care. He thinks the S&amp;P 500 will end the year higher, but warns of a potential downturn beforehand. This week, he’s watching central bank meetings, especially the Fed’s meeting, where it will release a new dot plot. He’s underweight international equities.

Opportunities in a Volatile Market: Software, Health Care, Industrials

Stablecoin institution adoption maintains the bull case for crypto, says Paul Golding. With stablecoin market cap holding above $300 billion, paired with more use cases being available to the public, Paul predicts a strong foundation maintaining crypto assets. He explains how it all plays into the big picture for stablecoin's future in finance in big banks and credit card businesses like Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V).

Some countries are making alleged deals with Iran as some ships make their way through the Strait of Hormuz, says Kevin Green. He talks about crude oil's pressure to the downside to start the trading week and takes investors through other headlines in his "cautious optimism" take. On stock moves, Kevin Green talks about the deal between Meta Platforms (META) and Nebius (NBIS) where the Mag 7 giant can offer the latter company up to $27 billion. Dollar Tree (DLTR) also moved off its mixed earnings.

'Cautious Optimism' in Iran Pushes Crude Lower, NBIS & META Deal Sparks AI Rally

Traders are “throwing the baby out with the bathwater” during this market turbulence as inflation fears “feed on themselves,” says Robert Conzo. He tells them to remember the historical likelihood that less-loved S&amp;P 500 companies will outperform. He feels “relatively good” about the market, citing bright spots like the retail sales report and a relatively unchanged PCE. Robert encourages investors to rebalance their portfolios right now.

Conzo: Don’t Panic, Rebalance Your Portfolio

Ivan Feinseth says the selloff in cruise stocks is a buying opportunity, highlighting Royal Caribbean (RCL) for strong demand, fuel hedging, and higher‑margin growth. Tom White breaks down a bullish April call vertical strategy to play a potential rebound in RCL amid macro uncertainty.

Dan Deming and Sam Vadas react to the latest earnings move from Adobe (ADBE) as shares fall to a near 7-year low.

With markets slightly higher in early Friday trading, Charles Schwab's Joe Mazzola asks the question: "Are we able to hold these gains into the end of the day?" He says staying above $6800 is important for the S&amp;P 500 (SPX). On the busier economic data day, Joe points to GDP expectations getting halved as well as the latest personal income numbers. Joe believes market breadth overall is starting to fade a bit, with software "carrying the mantle" in recent trading as it rebounds from earlier selling pressures. He is watching implied volatility versus realized volatility and the "churn" taking place underneath the latest market moves.

Focus on Friday's Close, SPX Levels at $6800 & Implied Volatility

Paulina McPadden thinks the best way to frame international trading is to look at the market share of U.S. companies versus the rest of the world, pointing to a smaller percentage of total companies making up a larger percentage of global valuations. She adds her thoughts on international financial stocks as a potential opportunity. Later, Paulina notes that she'll be attending Nvidia's (NVDA) GTC 2026 Keynote and explains the company's significance to the global AI trade. She highlights TSMC (TSM) and ASML (ASML) as international names that provide the "backbone" to global semiconductor manufacturing. Paulina then shares thoughts on other international equities such as Spotify (SPOT).

TSMC, ASML, SPOT: International Opportunities to Watch

"I'd just be a little bit careful," says Steven Wieting as he discusses the outperformance of the energy sector amid the ongoing conflict in Iran. He says supply chain issues are holding back oil from its final delivery, which could in turn cause prices to drop. Steven adds historical context to previous global energy crises and the significance of the crude oil trade to the entire international community. However, he adds there could be overlooked opportunities in the market, specifically in health care and software, once the energy situation is resolved.

How Oil Geopolitical Shock Could Impact Entire Globe

Kevin Green and Diane King Hall examine the market story of the week: Rising crude oil prices. KG explains the price activity, plus he describes differences between brent crude and WTI. Later, he looks at the plummeting share price in Adobe (ADBE) following the company's earnings report and news that its CEO will step down once a successor is named. For today's trading range, KG looks at $6810 for an upside test, with $6600 acting as potential downside level to watch.

Eyes on Energy to End Turbulent Week for Crude Oil

John Caplan, CEO of Payoneer (PAYO), discusses their latest quarter and the payments sector. He highlights their bullish outlook for 2026 and their growth numbers for 2025. Their customer niche are multinational companies that are underserved by the traditional banking system. They recently launched a stablecoin offering as well; John says Payoneer is driving innovation in the payments space. “The momentum we have in Latin America is exceptional,” he notes, along with areas in Asia – including China.

With AI use cases and Big Tech CapEx increasing, Mark McCarron sees a strong outlook for evolving tech. When it comes to building profits using AI, he sees Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), and Amazon (AMZN) as the "early monetizers" that will lead the next stage for momentum. Mark adds that diversification is crucial as the AI trade expands. He takes investors through the "balancing act" investors need to navigate in the months ahead.

Ana Garcia shares her takeaways from Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) earnings, noting good news on their Foot Locker acquisition. She notes that there’s possibility for upside to their guidance, since they tend to give conservative forecasts early in the year.

Dion Pouncil stresses the need to “know your risk” within markets right now. “Volatility is not a bad thing,” he says, but “pay attention to the flight to safety.” He looks to defense and consumer staples right now; Dion thinks the market is “on sale” if you’re a long-term investor and particularly likes metals. He highlights other opportunities he sees, including in ETFs.

Market is ‘On Sale’ for Long Term Investors: Defense, Consumer Staples, Metals

"Once we start seeing free-flowing oil again," Wall Street will set the foundation for its rebound, argues Kevin Mahn. That said, he says "I'm surprised markets haven't pulled back even more," a "helpful" sign for stock market strength. Kevin talks about key defense and nuclear power-centric stocks he likes, from L3Harris (LHX) and Kratos (KTOS) to Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII).

Kevin Mahn 'Surprised' by Stock Market Strength, Favors KTOS, HII & LHX

Crude oil crossed above the $90 mark once again, with Ben Emons calling the price shock "one of the biggest since the seventies." It's not just energy you'll want to watch, either, with Ben calling out chemical and food production stocks as other key movers volatility will hit.

Ben Emons on Navigating Energy Volatility & Other Sectors to Watch

Volatility in the oil market persists with tankers being sunk in the Middle East. Kevin Green talks about how countries across the globe are releasing hundreds of millions of oil barrels to control crude costs. Chemical stocks also caught a bid as U.S. and Iran tensions grow. KG later turns to the S&amp;P 500 and his "cautious" approach for Thursday's trading action as put options accelerate.
