Apple: Super Intelligent on AI
Stocks raged higher this week, driven by huge earnings beats from tech giants. So let’s get into this week’s big stories: 1. Put Some Respect on Apple’s Name For a while, it was hard to escape stories about Apple (AAPL) supposedly falling behind because it wasn’t doing enough in AI. Yet with Thursday’s earnings report, we learned that iPhone and Mac demand is still booming. Even without the company ramming AI features down our throats. Remember, as anyone with a semi-functioning brain knows, you can run AI apps on Apple’s fantastic hardware. Like Mac Minis, which are hugely popular for running local AI agents like OpenClaw. I’ve never met a single human being that stopping using an iPhone or Mac because of a lack of AI functionality. As an Apple shareholder, I hope new CEO John Ternus stays the course by focusing on great products. And partner with companies like Alphabet (GOOGL), OpenAI, and Anthropic where it makes sense. 2. SanDisk Flashed Before My Eyes SanDisk (SNDK) reported another beyond shocking earnings beat on Thursday, and the stock is now up 363% year-to-date. That makes it the top stock in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 by a country mile. Intel (INTC) is #2 with a 166% gain. AI data centers are sucking up flash memory way faster than it can be made, so prices are up exponentially. I have a 2-terabyte SanDisk SSD drive I got in 2023 for $180. Storage/memory prices are “supposed” go to down over time. But a similar new one would cost me $320. Of course, I ignored JR Romero’s brilliance on this stock and sold it in April. So when the results flashed across my screen, I felt a little sick inside. I have been following markets for decades and I’ve never seen earnings beats this big: And before you ask, Nvidia (NVDA) isn’t even close, at least during its AI era. Nvidia’s biggest EPS beat in the past few years was Q2 of 2024, when it beat by 29%. SanDisk just beat by 60%. Crazy stuff. 3) The Semiconductor Chart That Guarantees FOMO Stanley Druckenmiller once said “Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket very carefully.” Now look at the semiconductor basket: Over the past 10 years, SMH has compounded at 36% per year, thanks to huge gains in stocks like Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), Taiwan Semi (TSM), and AMD (AMD). SMH has outperformed SPY by over 6-fold, and was kicking butt even before the AI spending boom. And note: SMH is up 42% this year even though SanDisk is not in the ETF! By the way, do you know what sector is up even more than SMH? 4. Oil Service Is the True 2026 King The VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) is now up 56% this year: As you probably know, this is thanks to the massive spike in oil prices following the invasion of Iran. And before that, the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Higher oil prices mean more potential oil projects get the green light. Plus, the greater the US’ influence on the world’s energy infrastructure, the more business there is for oil service companies. Just a few days ago, Reuters reported that oilfield service companies are dusting off equipment that was laying dormant in Venezuela. 5. Sentiment Is Neutral The latest AAII Sentiment Survey shows that 38.1% of investors are bullish. This is smack-in-the-middle neutral, and a decline from last week’s bullish 46.0% reading. Meanwhile, in the options market, traders are leaning optimistic. The CBOE equity put/call ratio has been around 0.50 this week, signaling modest demand for put options. This is healthy to see. Equity markets roared back to life in April with 10%+ gains. But market participants are not going all-in. That means there’s still cash on the sidelines.

We survived a crazy week in the market, and we’ve got another one coming up! Now let’s jump into what you really want to know: 1. Semiconductor Madness Is On, and JR Has a New SNDK Price Target This market is all about semiconductors. The SMH ETF is up over 30% in April, led by monsters like: Astera Labs (ALAB): +95% Intel (INTC): +83% AMD (AMD): +70% Marvell Technology (MRVL): +65% On Semiconductor (ON): +59% And SanDisk (SNDK), which is not in the SMH ETF, is up 56% to finally get past the $1,000 mark. Our own JR Romero predicted this in February: Now, JR sees SanDisk going to $1,298. (we recorded a video this afternoon, but due to an error by yours truly, it was erased) SMH’s RSI is now at 84+, so it looks overheated. But who wants to step in front of a freight train, especially ahead of a week where multiple tech giants may announce even more increases in capex spending. The fundamentals support the semis’ huge move. According to FactSet, Semiconductor revenues are expected to grow by a whopping 51% this quarter. And earnings are expected to grow 98%. Speaking of earnings… 2. Earnings Season Has Been Excellent According to FactSet, 28% of S&P 500 companies have reported Q1 earnings, and things are looking good. 84% of reporting companies beat earnings forecasts, and 81% beat on revenues. Both are above historical norms. Analysts expected 13.1% growth at the start of Q1. Now it’s tracking towards 15.1%. That number could push even higher given all the heavy-hitters yet to report like Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Nvidia (NVDA). Plus, while tech is a huge driver of the aggregate numbers, every single S&P sector is reporting higher-than-expected earnings and revenues. For example, we’ve seen monster results from the likes of GE Vernova (GEV), FedEx (FDX), Newmont (NEM), and Baker Hughes (BHI). 3. It’s Time to Buckle Up If you thought this week was wild, buckle up! Because we’re about to get hit by: Rate Decisions from the FOMC, ECB, Bank of Japan, and Bank of England Earnings from tech giants Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Qualcomm (QCOM), SanDisk, and more Additional reports from Visa (V), Starbucks (SBUX), Robinhood (HOOD), Caterpillar (CAT), and Exxon (XOM) And this doesn’t even include what may happen in the Middle East! Here’s the full calendar: 4. Traders Turned Bullish The latest AAII Sentiment Survey shows that 46.0% of investors are bullish for the next 6 months. This comes after 9 straight weeks of bearish readings. Meanwhile, CNN’s Fear & Greed Index is at 66 showing modest greed. This is up from just 18 (extreme fear) one month ago. And as of Thursday’s close, the CBOE Equity Put-Call ratio was just 0.51, which means low demand for put options. This doesn’t mean investors and traders are euphoric. But all-time highs did cheer them up. 5. Avis Was One for the Ages, and Animal Spirits Are Here This week saw the end of the greatest short squeeze of 2026. In Avis Budget Group (CAR). Yes, the car rental company. The stock went from $100 to $847 in a month. And then it fell over $600 in two days. Not because the rental car market went wild. It’s because Deutsche Bank discovered that two investors controlled 108% of shares through derivatives layered on top of normal share ownership. Momentum buyers piled in, which attracted more momentum. And more and more and more until there was no one left to buy. Then everyone hit the exit button at once. This looked like a more extreme version of Allbirds (BIRD), which had its own wild short squeeze after announcing a transition from sneakers to “AI compute infrastructure.” I wish I was making that up. But between Avis, Allbirds, and the semis, one thing’s for sure. The animal spirits are alive.
