Great Scott! Stocks Fly Higher Than a Nimbus 2000 (and Some Plummet Like a Bludger)

Oklo's Loss is Less Terrible Than Expected: A Case of 'Accio Profit!'

Right gather 'round folks! Seems even Muggles are trying their hand at potions these days – though they call it 'nuclear startups.' Oklo apparently had a bit of a Snape level struggle this quarter but lost less money than expected. Down only 7 cents a share! Less than FactSet predicted. It's like failing an O.W.L. but still passing…barely. Maybe they found a way to brew up some extra luck with a dodgy potion? It's not quite Felix Felicis but it's a start.

eToro's Grand Entrance: More Dramatic Than a Sorting Ceremony

Next up we have eToro the trading platform. They made their debut on the Nasdaq opening at $69.69. The stock rose to $72 per share a 27% increase from the initial public offering price of $52. That is like a Weasley's Wildfire Whiz bang but in the stock market. Wonder if they use owls to deliver their trading alerts? I bet Ron would like that he is always interested in cool ways to earn some Galleons.

Super Micro Computer: Riding the AI Hype Train Like It's the Hogwarts Express

Super Micro Computer's stock is soaring higher than a Firebolt after Raymond James called AI projects a 'long term secular driver'. Up 17%! It's like having Hermione Granger write your business plan. Bet they're using some fancy Muggle algorithms that even I wouldn't understand. AI eh? Sounds like something out of the Department of Mysteries.

Boeing's Big Bird Deal: Qatar Airways Gets New Flying Broomsticks (Er Aircraft)

Boeing bless their Muggle hearts managed to bag a massive $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways. That's enough Galleons to buy every single flavor of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and still have change left over. New 52 week high apparently. Though knowing my luck I'd probably still end up on a wonky broomstick that veers off course.

American Eagle Outfitters: Forecasting Trouble Like Professor Trelawney After Too Much Sherry

Not everyone is celebrating like they've won the Quidditch Cup. American Eagle Outfitters withdrew its guidance for 2025 blaming "macro uncertainty." They're writing off $75 million. Sounds like they need a good luck charm or maybe a Time Turner to undo some bad decisions. Perhaps they should consult Professor Trelawney though her predictions are usually as accurate as a broken wand.

Nvidia AMD and Other Magical Deals: A Summary

And lastly a quick roundup! Exelixis is swimming in gold like they found a Gringotts vault after a great quarter. PVH is getting a makeover hoping to charm the market like Gilderoy Lockhart. Nvidia and AMD are hobnobbing with Saudi companies to build AI models (apparently even they need a bit of help from the Dark Arts… I mean advanced technology). Meanwhile JD.com is facing some headwinds like the increasing losses in the food delivery unit; someone get them a house elf to help manage the workload. Well that’s the stock market for you – more unpredictable than a Hippogriff. Until next time mischief managed!
