HomeIndustriesComputers/ElectronicsTech StocksTech StocksSoftware stocks drop and chip stocks rally after IBM indicates that ramped-up client purchases of hardware mean less money to buy softwareJuly 14, 2026, 5:10 p.m. ET
Artificial intelligence may have already taken a bite out of software this year, but a profit warning from IBM indicates that it’s hardware’s turn to chow down.
As companies with software-as-a-service offerings struggle to fend off worries that AI will render their business models obsolete, investors have been piling into stocks of companies that make the hardware that is powering the tech transformation.
International Business Machines (IBM 25.37%), an enterprise software, consulting, and mainframe infrastructure provider, closed at $217.05, down 25.21%. The stock plunged after IBM issued a preliminary second-quarter warning, and investors are watching July 22 results for more details.
Trading volume reached 64.0 million shares, coming in about 551% above its three-month average of 9.8 million shares.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.38%) rose 0.38% to 7,544, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.90%) added 0.90% to 26,107. Among technology hardware, software, consulting, and IT services peers, Accenture (ACN 2.74%) fell 2.86% to $134.56 and DXC Technology (DXC 5.66%) dropped 5.66% to $9.16 as budget pressure and weaker consulting demand stayed in focus.
What this means for investorsIBM’s stock had its worst day in the company's 115-year history after its surprise Q2 warning. The company said customers have shifted IT budgets away from its software and infrastructure offerings, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) hardware to ensure adequate supply.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna noted that server and memory purchases are now priorities. He also stated that “rapidly-evolving, industry-wide cybersecurity concerns” are attracting more attention.
Investors took that cue to unload IBM stock and load up on cybersecurity and AI hardware names. IBM had been a beneficiary of the AI trade, with shares more than doubling over the last three years. But now it seems to be the wrong place for new money.
Investors can also take this news as affirmation that AI infrastructure names likely have more upside ahead.

As of this writing, shares of International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) are currently down more than 23%. The reason? The hardware and software giant released a preliminary earnings report that warned its Q2 will come in below expectations when the official report comes out next week. It’s a shortfall that’s being caused by the AI boom.
Here’s what you need to know.
What’s happened?Today, IBM issued a preliminary Q2 2026 earnings report warning investors that it expects revenue will be lower than previously expected. Its final Q2 numbers are expected with its ordinary Q2 earnings report on July 22.

Companies generally issue preliminary earnings reports when they are trying to cushion the blow of bad financial news that is expected soon. But today’s preliminary report appears to have done little to assuage investor fears.
In the preliminary report, IBM said that for its second quarter of fiscal 2026, it expects revenue of $17.2 billion, which is up 1%. It also said it expects a Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.93, up 5%.
However, as noted by CNBC, these preliminary results are below what analysts were expecting, which was $17.86 billion in revenue, and an EPS of $3.01, according to FactSet data.
The CEO of 8090, Palihapitiya, is investing more of his time in the AI space and interacting with AI agents.
In the AI space, Pahlihapitiya asks if two or three companies are going to generate hundreds of billions in revenue, where is the rest of the money going to be made?
"I think you’re starting to see a little bit of the wheels come off," Palihapitiya said on CNBC Tuesday.
Palihapitiya used the cost of oil per barrel as an example, with some companies locking in prices with the largest companies in the space, then along come other oil providers, which are offering oil at minimal costs.
Palihapitiya said if you bet early on one charging a lot, you could run into some downstream difficulty when you try to pass those costs onto others along the way.
The investor said this could be part of the reason why IBM stock was down on Tuesday.
"That has to play itself out."
The investor said that IBM stock is down while other tech stocks are up, as it could take years to find out who spent what and if they’re able to get back their costs.
Palihapitiya warns that top management at companies might have no idea what is happening when it comes to tokenmaxxing, or maximizing AI token consumption for productivity.
"CEOs and CFOs, in my opinion, probably have no idea how much tokenmaxxing is going on inside of their organizations. I suspect what’ll happen is one day you’re going to have a miss, and EPS will be off by a few pennies, and the CEO will say to the CFO, ‘What happened?’"
AI Spending Not Equal to AI ProductivityThe comments from Palihapitiya on Tuesday follow a recent conversation he had about AI spending and AI productivity on an episode of "The All-In Podcast."
Palihapitiya said that of the S&P 593, which excludes the largest technology companies driving the AI boom in the S&P 500, the earnings per share growth is around 9% since generative AI became mainstream in conversation.
The investor said only about 2% of that growth is coming from AI-driven productivity, with the rest coming from share buybacks, inflation and price increases, as reported by 24/7 WallSt.
Palihapitiya said investors should try to separate the companies buying AI and those selling it, as the returns could be significantly different.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday that IBM has landed on the wrong side of a major shift in corporate technology spending.
"That's the new reality, and I have no idea when it will change, which is why I can't recommend IBM, not even after today's severe decline," the "Mad Money" host said.
IBM shares tumbled about 25% after the company preannounced disappointing second-quarter results ahead of next week's scheduled earnings release. Revenue, earnings and software revenue growth all fell short of Wall Street expectations, prompting CEO Arvind Krishna to acknowledge the company "faltered" as several large customer deals failed to close.
Cramer said the shortfall is one of the clearest signs yet that companies are reshuffling their information technology budgets as artificial intelligence spending accelerates.
He said businesses are increasingly prioritizing three areas of IT spending: cybersecurity, hardware and AI "tokens," or the consumption-based costs associated with using AI models. Other technology projects, he argued, are increasingly being pushed aside.
"Unfortunately for IBM, they have too many products and services that fall into the 'other types of spending' categories, even if they also have a decent overall AI narrative," he said.
Cramer praised Krishna for taking responsibility for the disappointing quarter and said IBM still has attractive long-term businesses, with the stock now yielding more than 3%.
However, he said those positives are not enough to offset concerns that IBM will continue to get hurt by shifting corporate technology budgets.
"I'm too worried about these trends to say that IBM's now safe to buy," Cramer said. "We're at the point in the year where IT managers are putting together their budgets for 2027, and you have to assume that these three priorities I just identified will continue to dominate, which means anything outside of them has a real problem."
"I hope that IBM truly is just seeing its deals get delayed, and not canceled," he added. "But I can't tell you to buy a stock because I hope something is true."

On June 23, 2026, Pelican Way Research (“PWR”) published a short report entitled “Hyliion: A Glorified Science Project Who Has Continuously Failed To Meet Expectations And Is Now Throwing Around A Meaningless Deal.” The report stated that Hyliion’s stock had risen significantly following the Company’s announcement of a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with VFG Holdings (“VFG”) for up to 250 KARNO Cores, representing approximately $133 million in potential revenue. The PWR report alleged that the VFG LOI accounted for roughly one-third of Hyliion’s reported $400 million-plus pipeline and questioned whether the LOI provided meaningful commercial validation. The report further alleged that VFG, which PWR identified as VFG Tech Holdings, LLC, was incorporated in January 2026, appeared to have only four employees listed on LinkedIn, had only a minimal website, and lacked evidence of funding or operating substance sufficient to support an order of that size.
Following publication of the PWR report, Hyliion’s stock price fell $1.27 per share, or 17.2%, to close at $6.10 per share on June 23, 2026.

As the global economy adjusts to shifting demand, many investors look to materials for stability. Choosing between Dow Holdings Inc (DOW 0.20%) and LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB +0.39%) requires comparing two industry heavyweights with distinct paths.
Both companies are leaders in the chemicals industry, yet they offer different risk profiles and growth strategies. Dow focuses on high-volume materials science for construction and packaging, while LyondellBasell is a powerhouse in polymers and polyolefin technologies. We compare their financials and valuations to help you decide which stock fits your strategy.
The case for Dow HoldingsDow produces materials for the agriculture, construction, and electronics markets. The business serves a global customer base through its 91 manufacturing sites located in 29 countries. It does not depend on any single customer for a significant share of its sales, reducing its reliance on individual corporate clients. The company leverages strategic joint ventures like EQUATE and Sadara, both major Middle East petrochemical firms, to reach international markets. These markets are essential components of the broader materials and metal stocks landscape.
In FY 2025, revenue slipped to $40 billion, down from nearly $43.0 billion the previous year. This roughly 7.0% decline in revenue contributed to a net loss of $2.6 billion for the period. This figure reflects a significant swing from the $1.1 billion net income of the prior fiscal year.
The company's balance sheet as of its December 2025 report showed a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.2x. This ratio measures total debt against shareholder equity, indicating that Dow uses a moderate amount of debt to finance its operations. Free cash flow for the period was negative $1.4 billion, which represents cash left over after paying for capital investments.
The case for LyondellBasell LyondellBasell is a global leader in polymers and polyolefin technologies used in transportation and food safety. Similar to its peer, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of its total revenues in 2025, providing a diversified revenue base. The company relies on key joint ventures, such as the Louisiana Integrated PolyEthylene partnership with Sasol Ltd (SSL 1.10%), for production capacity. It also operates manufacturing sites in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Thailand to serve its global markets. These operations support a wide range of industries that rely on advanced chemical production.
During FY 2025, revenue was $30.2 billion, representing a significant decline of roughly 25% from the prior year. This drop in sales resulted in a net loss of $743 million for the fiscal year. This result followed a period of higher profitability and higher revenue in the preceding two years.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was 1.6x. This value, which compares total debt to shareholder equity, indicates that the company uses more debt relative to its equity than some of its primary competitors. Free cash flow was positive, at $384 million, representing the actual cash generated after accounting for capital expenditures like equipment and plant upgrades.
Risk profile comparisonDow faces significant legal exposure, including ongoing class actions and asbestos-related liabilities arising from its Union Carbide subsidiary. Recently, the company has faced a 2026 chlorpyrifos-exposure lawsuit and environmental litigation over plastic pollution. Additionally, its Path2Zero decarbonization strategy carries execution risks, as failure to meet climate targets or secure renewable infrastructure could impact its financial performance. Earnings also remain highly exposed to global chemical supply imbalances and volatility in feedstock prices.
LyondellBasell is highly sensitive to the supply-demand cycles of the chemical industry, which can cause large swings in earnings. Its profitability depends heavily on crude oil and natural gas prices, making it vulnerable to energy market volatility. The company also faces technical risks with large projects like its MoReTec plastics recycling facility, while competitors like Chevron (CVX 0.24%) navigate similar regulatory pressures regarding greenhouse gas emissions. Stringent environmental regulations governing waste management and plastics recyclability present ongoing legal risks.
Valuation comparisonLyondellBasell trades at a lower Forward P/E than Dow, while Dow has a similar P/S ratio. These metrics compare price to future earnings estimates and revenue.

For Dow, there has been weakness in demand across many of its core businesses, and lower prices, coupled with high costs, have eroded margins. But for this chemical giant, the war with Iran brings benefits. Dow has been affected in recent quarters by oversupply. The on-again, off-again closure of the Strait of Hormuz is an opportunity for Dow to capitalize on supply pressures stemming from supply-chain disruptions, which will likely take a year or more to undo even if the conflict is resolved soon.
That has 2026 looking better for Dow, with sales seen rising by analysts to $44.7 billion, about a 10.5% rise. Net income should reappear on the ledger, with $1.8 billion projected by Wall Street.
LyondellBasell is in much the same boat as Dow. Many of its businesses have experienced weakness. But the Iran war provides an opportunity for the chemical giant to fill demand in Europe and elsewhere that would normally have been filled from the Middle East and other regional plants. Some 70% of global polypropylene supply is sourced through the Strait of Hormuz (both the product itself and its feedstocks). That should allow LyondellBasell to utilize U.S. production capacity that has lain idle in recent years
Those dynamics should get LyondellBasell back to profitability in 2026, with Wall Street projecting net income of $3.25 billion from sales of $34.5 billion, which would be 14% higher than in 2025.
Both Dow and LyondellBasell may be overlooked by investors at times, but their products are essential to the global economy. LyondellBasell’s more affordable P/E and P/S ratios make it the choice for investors looking for materials exposure in 2026.
In the latest close session, Dollar General (DG - Free Report) was down 2.67% at $120.14. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.38%. Elsewhere, the Dow saw an upswing of 0.02%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq appreciated by 0.9%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the discount retailer had gained 6.06% outpaced the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 0.77% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.27%.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Dollar General in its upcoming release. The company is expected to report EPS of $2, up 7.53% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $11.17 billion, indicating a 4.16% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $7.36 per share and a revenue of $44.4 billion, representing changes of +7.45% and +3.92%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Dollar General. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the business and profitability.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.05% lower. Dollar General currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
From a valuation perspective, Dollar General is currently exchanging hands at a Forward P/E ratio of 16.76. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 27.98, so one might conclude that Dollar General is trading at a discount comparatively.
We can additionally observe that DG currently boasts a PEG ratio of 1.88. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The average PEG ratio for the Retail - Discount Stores industry stood at 2.46 at the close of the market yesterday.
The Retail - Discount Stores industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. With its current Zacks Industry Rank of 7, this industry ranks in the top 3% of all industries, numbering over 250.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR +2.91%) is one of the few companies that has consistently delivered breathtaking results, living up to all the hype around artificial intelligence (AI). Yet many investors who bought Palantir stock near its highs last year have lost money. It's another reminder that the price investors pay for a stock matters.
Fast-forward to today, when Palantir trades at 64 times its trailing-12-month sales. That's still a significant premium over most stocks on Wall Street. Although the stock burned investors last year, I believe Palantir's exceptional business justifies its current premium. That said, investors who buy Palantir stock will want to be careful how they do it.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
First, it's crucial to understand why Palantir's valuation is so high I like to think of the AI models developed by OpenAI or Anthropic as similar to humankind's discovery of fire. People needed to control and refine it before it could really change the world. Palantir's software technology does just that with these AI models, enabling government and corporations to safely and securely wield AI for various tasks and applications.
Palantir launched its AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) in mid-2023, and the company has grown profitably faster and faster ever since.
PLTR Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts
The most exciting aspect of Palantir might be just how high its ceiling could be. It recently expanded its partnership with Nvidia to provide the government and other sovereign customers access to Nvidia's open-source AI models running on Palantir's application technology layer. The company also still only has 832 commercial customers, so Palantir is barely scratching the surface of its addressable market. There are over 20,000 large companies in the United States alone.
Palantir won't grow at over 80% forever, but there might be many years of strong growth ahead.
The risks of paying the Palantir premium With a jaw-dropping Rule of 40 score of 145% in the first quarter, Palantir's sales growth and cash flow margins are among the best of any company on Wall Street. When you combine that with Palantir's explosive top-line growth, it becomes apparent why the stock has traded at such high valuations.

But even the best companies shouldn't command a blank check. Buying Palantir last year at over 120 times sales hasn't worked out very well for many investors so far. Shares look far more attractive now at 64 times sales.
Still, the stock could easily slide further from here. What if Palantir's growth slows or even levels off? The market's perception could change in an instant, and the stock's premium suddenly evaporates.
The best plan for investing in Palantir is to do it slowly. Consider dollar-cost averaging to help mitigate the stock's volatility. Hold it for the long term, letting the business grow into its lofty valuation. That will dramatically increase your odds of success.
The recent listing of SK Hynix (SKHY +27.29%) on the Nasdaq represents a pivotal moment for the artificial intelligence (AI) memory industry. This move brings one of the world's leading producers of advanced DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) directly into the U.S. capital markets, intensifying its rivalry with Micron Technology (MU +5.07%).
Smart investors are watching the powerful forces fueling the current AI memory supercycle and how these tailwinds are rapidly shaping the trajectories of each company. Beyond a shared enthusiasm for growth, a thorough comparison of their business momentum, expansion plans, and valuation profile points to some important differences that investors should weigh carefully.
Image source: Micron Technology.
What is fueling the AI memory boom? The explosive growth of generative AI and large-scale model training requires memory chips that can deliver higher bandwidth and capacity compared to those used in traditional servers or consumer devices. As AI workloads grow in complexity with emerging agentic systems, the amount of memory per server rises sharply.
Advanced memory manufacturing demands specialized equipment such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography scanners, precise stacking processes, and significant cleanroom capacity that simply cannot be expanded overnight. Unlike earlier cycles, in which producers built excess supply during periods of high demand, SK Hynix and Micron have shown more prudent restraint -- focusing their investments on high-margin products rather than flooding the market with capacity.
Long-term supply agreements between chipmakers and hyperscalers are helping to lock in premium pricing, reducing the risk of sudden oversupply. These factors point to a secular supercycle rather than a cyclical spike, with demand trends likely to persist over the next several years as AI data center build-outs accelerate.

How has the AI supercycle impacted SK Hynix and Micron? With a market share of 56.4%, SK Hynix has established itself as the global leader in HBM. This dominance has driven outsized revenue growth supplemented by robust profit margin expansion.
While Micron trails SK Hynix in overall market share, the company has gained meaningful ground through consistent execution and has seen profitability rise substantially on the back of stronger average selling prices and higher adoption rates. Over the last year, Micron's data center revenue grew by over 650% year over year, while gross margin in that segment more than doubled.
To capture ongoing demand, both SK Hynix and Micron are executing ambitious capacity expansions. SK Hynix is using its initial public offering (IPO) proceeds to fund new fabrication plants and advanced packaging facilities in South Korea. By contrast, Micron is dramatically scaling its commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing. The company has raised its domestic investment to over $250 billion through the middle of the next decade, with major new sites under construction in New York, Idaho, and Virginia.
Should you invest in Micron or SK Hynix stock right now? Both SK Hynix and Micron have delivered exceptional gains throughout 2026 -- so much so that both companies are in or near the trillion-dollar club. Given that both stocks are scorching hot and riding the same tailwinds, it can be tough choosing a decisive winner here. To help you pick, I'll look at the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for each company.
As of this writing (July 13), Micron trades at a forward P/E around 6. Conversely, SK Hynix's forward earnings ratio is closer to 8. If I judged an investment in either company purely based on valuation, then it would appear that Micron is a slightly better value.
The average forward P/E across the S&P 500 is around 21, while the broader semiconductor industry fluctuates around 26x to 30x forward earnings. Here's the crucial nuance: Both Micron and SK Hynix are trading at meaningful discounts relative to the broader market and their own peers in the semiconductor sector.
This tells me that most investors have yet to fully price in a premium valuation to either stock, despite the valuation expansion witnessed throughout the year. Against this backdrop, I see no losers in this duel. I would diversify and build positions in each company. By doing so, I'd inherently build layered exposure to the larger AI memory trade across different geographies and market segments while owning two of the top players leading the charge.
In the latest trading session, Amgen (AMGN - Free Report) closed at $355.25, marking a -1.44% move from the previous day. The stock's performance was behind the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.38%. On the other hand, the Dow registered a gain of 0.02%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq increased by 0.9%.
Coming into today, shares of the world's largest biotech drugmaker had gained 2.83% in the past month. In that same time, the Medical sector gained 4.34%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.27%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Amgen in its forthcoming earnings report. The company's upcoming EPS is projected at $5.55, signifying a 7.81% drop compared to the same quarter of the previous year. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $9.45 billion, reflecting a 2.9% rise from the equivalent quarter last year.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $22.19 per share and revenue of $37.74 billion. These totals would mark changes of +1.6% and +2.69%, respectively, from last year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Amgen. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the business health and profitability.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.

Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.32% lower. Amgen presently features a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
From a valuation perspective, Amgen is currently exchanging hands at a Forward P/E ratio of 16.25. This denotes a discount relative to the industry average Forward P/E of 20.52.
One should further note that AMGN currently holds a PEG ratio of 3.58. The PEG ratio bears resemblance to the frequently used P/E ratio, but this parameter also includes the company's expected earnings growth trajectory. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry held an average PEG ratio of 1.58.
The Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry is part of the Medical sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 163, putting it in the bottom 34% of all 250+ industries.

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Intuit Inc. (“Intuit” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INTU) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and docketed under 26-cv-07086, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Intuit securities between August 22, 2025 and May 20, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired Intuit securities during the Class Period, you have until September 8, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

Intuit provides financial management, payments and capital, compliance, and marketing products and services in the United States. The Company has four reportable business segments: (i) Global Business Solutions; (ii) Consumer; (iii) Credit Karma; and (iv) ProTax. Intuit’s Consumer segment provides do-it-yourself (“DIY”) and assisted income tax preparation products and services under the “TurboTax” brand name, whereas its ProTax segment provides tax-preparation software products and electronic tax filing, payment, and related products and services. The Company sells its products and services through direct sales channels, multichannel shop-and-buy experiences, mobile application stores, and partner and other channels.
At all relevant times, Defendants touted purportedly significant “momentum” across Intuit’s various business segments, particularly with respect to its tax-related business. Defendants attributed this purported “momentum” to, inter alia, Intuit’s purportedly significant competitive advantages, including integration of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in its business and operations.
For example, in August 2025, Defendants provided financial guidance for Intuit’s fiscal full year (“FY”) of 2026, ended July 31, 2026, including 8% revenue growth in its TurboTax business, citing “outstanding execution across our platform” and “breakthrough adoption in assisted tax” as a result of the aforementioned purported competitive advantages.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) they had overstated Intuit’s competitive advantages and growth, as well as the overall strength and sustainability of its business model and operations; (ii) in reality, Intuit was losing significant business in its tax-related business, particularly in its TurboTax business, as a result of, inter alia, increasing competitive and pricing pressures; (iii) accordingly, Intuit’s previously issued FY 2026 TurboTax revenue growth guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (iv) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
The truth began to emerge on May 20, 2026, when, during pre-market hours, Reuters published an article entitled “Intuit to cut 17% of global jobs to streamline operations, memo shows”. Citing an internal Company memorandum and email from Defendant Sasan K. Goodarzi (“Goodarzi”), Intuit’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to staff earlier in the day, the article reported that “Intuit . . . is laying off about 17% of its workforce, or about 3,000 employees worldwide, to streamline operations and sharpen focus on its key bets including its AI efforts[.]” The article further revealed that Intuit “is also winding down its Reno and Woodland Hills offices as part of a strategic restructuring to consolidate teams in key hubs, according to the memo.”
On this news, Intuit’s stock price fell $15.78 per share, or 3.95%, to close at $383.93 per share on May 20, 2026.
The same day, during post-market hours, Intuit issued a press release announcing its fiscal third quarter (“Q3”) 2026 results. Therein, Defendants reported weak Q3 2026 tax season revenue, including, inter alia, TurboTax revenue that grew by only 7% year-over-year, versus consensus estimates of at least 8% revenue growth. During the accompanying earnings call held the same day, also during post-market hours, Defendant Sandeep S. Aujla, Intuit’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, acknowledged that, with respect to TurboTax, “we did not have the overall tax season we expected[.]” On the same call, Defendant Goodarzi likewise stated that he was “dissatisfied with our performance”, noting “[w]e faced pressure among the most price-sensitive DIY filers earning less than $50,000 a year”, and that “[w]e lost on price.” Defendant Goodarzi also revealed that TurboTax online paying units were expected to grow by only 2% as total Internal Revenue Service filers were expected to decline by approximately 30 basis points, representing the “most significant industry-wide contraction since the post-COVID tax season.” Accordingly, Defendant Goodarzi acknowledged that “we expect TurboTax to grow 7% for the full year”—down from Defendants’ prior guidance of 8% growth—and that, “[t]o reaccelerate this part of our business,” Defendants will need to “evolve our business model by delivering the right lineups and price points to meet simple filers’ needs at the low end and lean into the power of our broader Consumer platform to monetize beyond tax.”
Following these disclosures, Intuit’s stock price fell $76.86 per share, or 20.02%, to close at $307.07 per share on May 21, 2026.

Details of the case: According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Roblox's organic growth potential; notably, that Roblox would see a significant slowdown in its growth rates as enrollment in the age verification rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-platform communication, resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) today announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.92 per share of common stock, payable on October 13, 2026 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on October 1, 2026.

Your feed is full of it. CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD | CRWD Price Prediction) split four-for-one, ripped higher on an AI-security narrative, and every screenshot in your group chat has green candles. You didn’t buy it. That’s fine.
Because the Global X Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:BUG) also had a very good year. Not CrowdStrike-good. But good enough that the FOMO you’re feeling is mostly manufactured.
The Numbers, Same Window, No Cherry-Picking From December 31, 2025 through July 10, 2026, CrowdStrike returned 59.72% on a split-adjusted basis. Over that exact same window, BUG returned 29.25%.
Translate the ETF number into dollars: $10,000 put into BUG on January 1 was worth roughly $12,925 by the close on July 10. That’s a little over six months. Nobody who booked that return is complaining at a dinner party.
Yes, CrowdStrike holders did better. We’ll get to that.
Same Wave, Bigger Boat The catalyst behind CrowdStrike’s move extends well beyond CrowdStrike itself. On the Q1 FY27 call, CEO George Kurtz described the moment plainly: “the worlds of cybersecurity and frontier AI collided”, and he called CrowdStrike “AI security infrastructure, critical to successful AI adoption.” The company posted $1.39 billion in Q1 revenue, up 25.57% year over year, and raised full-year guidance.
Strip out the ticker and you get the theme: enterprises pouring money into AI are being forced to spend on endpoint security, cloud security, identity security, and runtime protection for AI agents. That budget is going to a lot of vendors, not one. Firewalls, identity platforms, SIEM providers, cloud security specialists. The whole basket got a bid.
BUG is a basket. It tracks a cybersecurity index and spreads across roughly 20 to 25 names in the space at an expense ratio of 0.50%. When the theme lifts, the fund lifts. You don’t have to be right about which vendor wins the AI-security land grab; you just have to be right that there is one.
What You Gave Up, What You Skipped Here’s the tradeoff. Somebody who owned CrowdStrike outright made roughly twice what a BUG holder made this year. That’s real. The chart doesn’t lie.
The chart also doesn’t lie about the other direction. Cast your mind back to July 19, 2024, when a faulty CrowdStrike Falcon sensor update grounded airlines, took down hospitals, and knocked the stock into a months-long repair job. CrowdStrike itself is the recent example of what single-stock concentration in a hot name feels like when something breaks. The company is still absorbing costs and litigation tied to that incident.
An index fund of cybersecurity names dilutes that risk across the basket. One vendor’s bad patch Tuesday, one guidance cut, one accounting surprise gets absorbed by the rest of the basket. You give up the top of the trade to skip the bottom of it. That’s the deal.
Process, Not Prediction Chasing hot tickers is stock picking with extra regret. If you buy after the run, you’re overpaying; if you don’t buy, you’re staring at a screenshot for six months. Owning the theme sidesteps both problems. You get most of the move, you sleep, and you don’t have to be a genius about which company’s product roadmap is best.
The AI-security story isn’t finished. It might slow down. It might accelerate. Nobody sending you screenshots knows which. What we do know, as of July 10, 2026, is that a diversified position in the theme paid this year. The reader who owned the trend instead of the ticker didn’t miss anything worth losing sleep over.
Process beats prediction. Themes beat tickers, most of the time, for most people. And relaxing beats refreshing your brokerage app on a Friday night.

Lucid’s new CEO, Silvio Napoli, took over on June 1, and the company withdrew prior production and delivery guidance as Napoli announced restructuring and a strategy shift to narrow the company’s focus and improve execution.
Lucid denied the reports of a potential filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, stating that “the rumors are completely false.” Lucid’s stock recovered much of the initial loss after that denial.
