Deckers Outdoor stock is showing weakness. What’s pulling DECK shares down? Q1 HighlightsDeckers reported earnings per share of 94 cents, beating the consensus estimate of 87 cents. In addition, the company reported revenue of $1.02 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $1.01 billion.
By brand, HOKA net sales increased 7.7% to $703.5 million compared to $653.1 million, UGG net sales rose 4.9% to $278.0 million compared to $265.1 million, and other brands net sales decreased 18.1% to $37.9 million compared to $46.3 million. Domestic net sales increased 3.2% to $517.4 million, while international net sales rose 8.4% to $502.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents were $1.603 billion compared to $1.720 billion a year earlier, while inventories were $807.6 million compared to $849.4 million. The company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares for $338.2 million during the quarter, and has approximately $4.7 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization as of June 30.
Deckers raised its fiscal-year 2027 GAAP earnings per share guidance from between $7.30 and $7.45 to between $7.35 and $7.50, versus the consensus estimate of $7.46. It also affirmed its fiscal-year revenue guidance of between $5.86 billion and $5.91 billion, versus the consensus estimate of $5.89 billion.
Deckers Trades Below Every Major Moving AverageDeckers is in a technically pressured spot: it’s trading 10.2% below its 20-day SMA, 11.4% below its 50-day SMA, 10.8% below its 100-day SMA, and 8.6% below its 200-day SMA. When price is this far under the major averages, rallies often need a clear catalyst to turn into something more than a bounce.
Momentum also leans defensive: MACD is below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which suggests upside pressure is cooling versus the prior upswing. In plain terms, MACD compares faster and slower trend momentum, and being below the signal line typically means buyers are losing control unless the indicator can reclaim that baseline.
The crossover picture is mixed and helps explain the chop: the 20-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA (bearish near-term), but the 50-day SMA is still above the 200-day SMA (a golden cross that occurred in June). That combination often produces "two-way" trading—longer-term participants see a base-building story, while shorter-term traders keep selling rallies until price can reclaim the 50-day area.
Key Resistance: $111.00 — a round-number zone that also sits near the cluster of longer moving averages where rebounds can stall Key Support: $92.50 — a nearby floor that’s close to current price and can act as the first line buyers try to defend Benzinga Edge RankingsBelow is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for Deckers Outdoor, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:
The Verdict: Deckers Outdoor’s Benzinga Edge signal reveals a growth-and-quality story that’s currently being held back by weak momentum. For longer-term investors, that mix can be attractive if support holds and the stock starts reclaiming key moving averages, but near-term traders may stay cautious until momentum improves.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
July 24, 2026 Thursday's MarketsS&P 500
7,408 (-1.21%)Nasdaq
25,138 (-2.15%)Dow
51,712 (-0.97%)Bitcoin
$65,123 (-1.16%) Every so often, the market presents several bills at once, and yesterday it did. First came the mega-cap disappointments: Tesla (TSLA -14.38%) fell about 14.5% and Alphabet (GOOG -6.88%) dropped roughly 7% – both punished not for weak revenue, but for spending heavily on AI, and in Alphabet's case registering negative free cash flow. The Nasdaq sank 2.15%, its worst session in a month.
None of this happened in a vacuum. Alphabet's own 2026 capital budget just rose to $195 billion to $205 billion, and free cash flow turned negative for the first time in company history – prompting one Wall Street analyst to say flatly, "I don't like hyperscalers, they don't generate any cash." How the mighty have fallen!
That skepticism sharpens as Chinese labs undercut the spending case: Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model as well as Z.ai's GLM 5.2 model may have helped tip semiconductor stocks into bear market territory this month, erasing an estimated $3.3 trillion in value since June. The Chinese models appear to have reached parity with the most cutting-edge Silicon Valley models from Anthropic and OpenAI, and doing so for a fraction of the cost (and possibly using Chinese alternatives to Nvidia's (NVDA -1.56%) GPUs, though that is contested). Debates will rage if they "distilled" U.S. models to be where they are, but that might be moot at this point. The era of relatively cheap, but capable, open-source LLMs is here.
Additionally, layer on a Shiller CAPE ratio of 41.4 – a level breached in consecutive years only once before, at the peak of the dot-com bubble – plus Brent crude's climb above $100 a barrel on closures of both Bab al-Mandab and Strait of Hormuz waterways as well as Ukrainian hits on Russian and Kazakh export routes, alongside U.S. Treasuries shooting higher thanks to the expected avalanche of energy inflation, and the sell-off looks less like an accident and more like arithmetic.
It sure looks like a perfect storm. Yet, none of that changes how Fools should behave. Valuation scares, capex anxiety, and geopolitical shocks are the recurring weather of investing, not a reason to fold the tent. This is a marathon, not a sprint: what matters over a 5+ year horizon is whether a business's moat and cash generation are intact, not whether it nailed one quarter's spending optics. The AI buildout may prove overbuilt in places and wildly profitable in others – we won't know that from a single earnings call. That's precisely why conviction, not panic, is the right response when businesses you already believe in go on sale. We may well experience a sharp market pullback ahead. So ask yourself: are you prepared to stay invested through the periodic and inevitable declines?
Volatility isn't the toll you pay to avoid the market. It's the toll you pay to stay in it – and Fools who stay in it long enough tend to come out ahead.

1. Data Center Boom Drives Intel Q2 Beat Intel (INTC -2.27%) rose around 4% before the opening bell as revenue, earnings, and gross margin all beat market expectations for the quarter. Like Alphabet earlier this week, capex guidance was raised – from $18 billion to over $20 billion – with a sharp increase forecast for 2027.
"Customers continue to signal a strong and sustainable spending environment": CFO David Zinsner applauded the strong growth in the data center business, as revenue rose 59% for the quarter to $6.3 billion, yet said Intel is currently supply constrained as it can't produce enough to keep up with demand. "Intel is still the leader here": In May, Fool contributing analyst Matt Frankel spoke about why Intel is a winner in the next phase of the AI rollout, and listed several reasons why the company could still do well. He said "the foundry business is unique, especially since it's the only real big one on U.S. soil. The relationship with the U.S. government is a real strength. Nvidia has a good relationship with Intel." 2. After-Hours Results From Team Hidden Gems Recs Kinsale Capital (KNSL +2.30%) moved around 2% higher before the market open, as results beat consensus for both revenue and earnings. The company also announced an additional $250 million share repurchase, pointing to strong capital levels. Deckers Outdoors (DECK -6.09%) fell over 3% in pre-market trading as the business warned of future margin pressure from higher freight costs and tariff assumption, despite posting record revenue of $1.02 billion. Comfort Systems (FIX +2.23%) dropped about 1% ahead of the opening bell after posting a mixed bag of results. The 50.3% increase in revenue was impressive, and the stock is beating the S&P 500 by 68% since the Stock Advisor rec by Team Hidden Gems in December 2025.
3. U.S. Hits 60 Partners with Trade Duties
The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners – including the E.U., China, and the U.K. – going live on the same day as the temporary global 10% levy expires.
"Today's action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice": U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer's comments could indicate human rights could be used as a legal reason to justify the tariffs. The measure covers 99.4% of U.S. imports. Levies are "completely unjustified": Several countries have already come out criticizing the announcement, including Australian trade minister Don Farrell. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said "there is no so-called forced labour in China, and we oppose using this as an excuse for political manipulation."
4. Team Rule Breakers Recs Close Out the Week's Earnings
American Express (AXP -2.27%) reports before the opening bell. Analysts expect an 8.1% jump in earnings versus the same period last year, building on the 18% growth last quarter, with a focus on card member spending trends. HCA Healthcare (HCA +1.25%) releases earnings before the market opens, after releasing preliminary revenue and lowering its full-year profit guidance earlier this month. The Stock Advisor rec by Team RB cited an unfavorable payer mix and higher uninsured patient visits. Canadian National Railway (CNI +2.09%) also posts earnings in pre-market trading. Another SA rec by Team Rule Breakers, CNI had a mixed bag of earnings last time, but the expectation is for a 4.8% increase in earnings and an 8.2% boost to revenue this quarter. 5. Today's Take: What's Inside That Black Box?
For me, business complexity becomes a red flag in two main cases. First, when you can't explain the revenue source in a sentence or two. Second, the complex nature of the business seems to obscure low margins or other problems with the business itself.-- Matt Frankel Team Hidden Gems
6. Your Take If you could only invest in one company for the next 5 years and couldn't touch that investment regardless of market conditions, which would you choose and what specific catalyst or competitive advantage makes you confident it will outperform the others?

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE:PLNT) for potential securities fraud after its significant stock drop. If you invested in Planet Fitness, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/planet-fitness-class-action-lawsuit.
Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2026) - Block & Leviton announces that a securities fraud lawsuit has been filed against Planet Fitness, Inc.

For more details, visit https://blockleviton.com/cases/plnt.
What is this all about?
The lawsuit alleges Planet Fitness told investors during the class period that its "We Are All Strong on This Planet" marketing campaign was resonating and had "legs to extend into 2026," expressed confidence in a planned national Black Card price increase to $29.99, and reaffirmed its FY2026 guidance and a new three-year growth plan. The complaint alleges the company concealed that its marketing had pivoted too far toward fitness-minded consumers and was alienating its core beginner customers, dragging down new member joins. On May 7, 2026, Planet Fitness slashed its same-store sales growth guidance from 4-5% to approximately 1%, withdrew its three-year growth targets, paused the Black Card price increase, and acknowledged that its marketing had "pivoted too far" and alienated core customers. On this news, the company's stock fell about 31% in a single day, from $63.96 to $44.01, causing substantial losses for investors.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who purchased Planet Fitness, Inc. common stock between November 6, 2025, and May 6, 2026, and has seen their shares fall may be eligible, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN | COIN Price Prediction) and SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) both reported Q1 2026 results.
Coinbase absorbed a crypto downturn that pushed it into a $394.1 million GAAP loss. SoFi more than doubled net income to $166.7 million while expanding into stablecoins. Same sector, two very different quarters.
Crypto Whiplash Hit Coinbase. SoFi Just Kept Compounding. Coinbase revenue landed at $1.41 billion, down 30.54% year over year, as spot volumes and total crypto market cap each fell 20%+ sequentially. A $482.4 million mark on crypto held for investment did most of the damage.
The buffer worked though: subscription and services revenue reached 44% of net revenue, led by $305 million in stablecoin revenue as USDC market cap hit an all-time high near $80 billion.
SoFi went the other direction. Revenue of $1.10 billion beat estimates by 5%, EPS matched at $0.12, and members grew 35% YoY to 14.7 million. Lending revenue jumped 55%, deposits reached $40.24 billion, and CEO Anthony Noto said “43% of new products” came from existing members. That cross-buy is the whole thesis working.
Shrink to Survive vs. Spend to Scale Coinbase is cutting. Management announced a 14% headcount reduction to roughly 4,300 employees and about $500 million in annualized savings, while pushing an “Everything Exchange” strategy into equities, prediction markets, and FX. Prediction markets already annualize $100 million+ in their first two months.
The same investor newsletter that told subscribers to buy Amazon in 2002, Netflix in 2004, and Nvidia in 2005 still publishes two new stock picks every month. Over 23 years, Motley Fool's Stock Advisor has more than quadrupled the S&P 500. New members get this month's picks, the Top 10 Rankings, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Click here to unlock their next top stocks while new members are still being accepted.
SoFi is spending. Big Business Banking launched, SoFiUSD is minting with U.S. dollar reserves, and a Mastercard payments tie-in extends the digital assets push. It is a very different posture.
Lens Coinbase SoFi Q1 Revenue Trend -30.54% YoY +6.13% YoY Core Bet Stablecoins, prediction markets Cross-sell, deposits, digital assets Key Vulnerability Crypto volatility, insider selling Tech Platform -27%, charge-offs rising The Next Test Is Guidance Follow-Through SoFi guided FY2026 to roughly $4.655 billion in adjusted net revenue and $1.6 billion in adjusted EBITDA. I want to see personal loan charge-offs, now at 3.03%, stabilize, and the Technology Platform find a new anchor client after the 16% drop in enabled accounts.
For Coinbase, Q2 transaction revenue through May 5 sat at just $215 million. The prediction market crowd on Polymarket is assigning a 90.6% probability of an earnings miss next report. I would keep an eye on whether the retail derivatives ramp and the 12 products generating $100M+ in annualized revenue can pick up the slack when Bitcoin does not cooperate.
Why SoFi Is the Cleaner Story for Me On the fundamentals, SoFi is the cleaner story. The 9.95% gain since its April 29 report, against Coinbase falling 13.91% from its May 7 report, matches the fundamentals I see. Diversified revenue, deposit-funded lending, and a real cross-buy engine are easier to underwrite than a business whose top line just contracted 30%.
Coinbase is more interesting for a specific investor: someone who wants leveraged exposure to the next crypto cycle and can stomach a beta near 3.35. The stablecoin economics are genuine, and analysts still carry a $222.04 consensus target. I just prefer growth I can measure quarter by quarter, and right now that is SoFi.

The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG -1.75%) and the iShares Morningstar Small-Cap Growth ETF (ISCG -0.59%) both target growth-oriented U.S. equities but focus on opposite ends of the market-capitalization spectrum.
VOOG leans on a small group of mega-cap technology leaders, while ISCG spreads its bets across more than 900 smaller companies. For investors trying to decide between the two, the choice really comes down to whether you want concentrated bets on today's biggest winners or broader diversification with more growth potential.
Snapshot (cost & size)MetricISCGVOOGIssueriSharesVanguardExpense ratio0.06%0.07%1-year return (as of July 23, 2026)22.26%18.77%Dividend yield0.57%0.45%Beta1.221.20AUM$1.0 billion$26.3 billionBeta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from monthly returns over the available fund history (up to five years). The 1-year return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.
Both funds are cheap to own. ISCG charges a 0.06% expense ratio, just a hair below VOOG's 0.07% -- a difference so small it's unlikely to matter for most investors. The funds’ dividend yields are fairly even as well, with VOOG yielding 0.45% compared to ISCG’s 0.57%.
Performance & risk comparisonMetricISCGVOOGMax drawdown (5 yr)(41.47%)(32.74%)Growth of $1,000 over 5 years (total return)$1,303$1,816VOOG has posted stronger five-year total returns, largely thanks to the powerful run in mega-cap tech stocks over that stretch. But the tables turned more recently -- ISCG has outperformed over the trailing 12 months, despite being the more volatile fund. That pattern is fairly typical: small-cap stocks have lagged during stretches when investors crowd into the largest, most liquid tech names, but can surge when investors rotate toward higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities.
What's insideLaunched in 2010, VOOG is heavily concentrated in technology, which makes up 52.4% of the portfolio, followed by communication services at 15.6% and consumer cyclical at 8.6%. Its top holdings include Nvidia (NVDA -1.56%) at 13.6%, Microsoft (MSFT -2.13%) at 7.8%, and Apple (AAPL -1.27%) at 6.0%. The fund holds 148 stocks.
The iShares Morningstar Small-Cap Growth ETF provides much broader exposure with 929 holdings. Its top sector weightings include industrials at 23.9%, technology at 22.5%, and healthcare at 17.9%. No single stock makes up more than 1% of its portfolio. Top positions include Sterling Infrastructure Inc (STRL -0.41%) at 0.8%, Okta Inc (OKTA -0.43%) at 0.7%, and Guardant Health (GH -0.36%) at 0.6%. ISCG launched in 2004.
For more guidance on ETF investing, check out the full guide at this link.
Why this matters for investorsThis comparison is a good reminder that "growth investing" isn't a one-size-fits-all strategy.
VOOG's concentration in technology has been a winning formula over the past five years, but that same concentration means the fund's fortunes are closely tied to how a small handful of companies perform. ISCG's diversification across hundreds of smaller firms results in much broader exposure -- and, historically, small caps tend to shine during periods when investors are willing to take on more risk in search of higher returns.
The right choice, of course, depends on an investor's risk tolerance and time horizon. Investors who want to stay anchored to the market's biggest, most established growth stories may prefer VOOG's straightforward, tech-heavy approach. Those looking to diversify beyond mega-cap tech -- and who can stomach more volatility along the way -- may find ISCG's broader small-cap exposure more appealing. For many long-term investors, holding a mix of both styles can offer a balance of stability and upside potential.

Jeffersonville, Indiana facility will include more than 1,200 employees that will strengthen U.S. manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and energy dominance
, /PRNewswire/ -- CS PowerTech Inc., a subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) and the largest silicon PV solar manufacturer in the U.S., today announced the official opening of the first phase of its flagship PV cell manufacturing facility at the River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The Jeffersonville PVCells facility is a cornerstone of CS PowerTech's U.S. manufacturing platform, reshoring critical advanced manufacturing, strengthening U.S. supply-chain resilience, and supporting America's energy security.
Jeffersonville PVCells is the first American PV cell facility designed to produce industry-leading heterojunction (HJT) bifacial N-type solar cells. Together with CS PowerTech's module manufacturing plant in Mesquite, Texas, the Jeffersonville facility creates a more localized, vertically integrated supply chain to serve its customers and to strengthen critical U.S. energy infrastructure.
At full capacity, the facility is expected to produce more than 6 GWp annually, support more than 1,200 skilled manufacturing, engineering, and technical jobs in Southern Indiana, and represent nearly $1 billion in local investment.
Rusty Schmit, President of CS PowerTech Inc., said, "Jeffersonville is a cornerstone of our strategy to build one of North America's most advanced energy manufacturing supply chains. This facility will produce next-generation HJT solar cells, support domestic manufacturing, and ultimately strengthen grid reliability as our customers deploy the products. We are proud to invest in Indiana's workforce and work with regional partners to build a long-term center of excellence for solar technology and advanced manufacturing."
Colin Parkin, Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar Inc., added, "The Jeffersonville facility demonstrates our commitment to scaling one of the world's most advanced solar cell technologies in the United States. HJT technology is critical for the next generation of high-efficiency, high-performance solar modules, and this plant gives CS PowerTech the ability to deliver leading technology, improved energy yield, and long-term value for customers while strengthening domestic advanced manufacturing."
Governor Mike Braun, stated, "CS PowerTech's investment strengthens Indiana's position in advanced manufacturing, creates good-paying jobs for Hoosiers in the area, and reinforces our role in building the technologies that will continue to power America's future."
Indiana State Senator Chris Garten, stated, "CS PowerTech's investment in Jeffersonville is a major win for Southern Indiana. This facility will create over a thousand high-quality jobs, strengthen our advanced manufacturing base, and help position our region as a leader in the technologies that will power America's future."
Indiana State House Representative Wendy Dant Chesser, said, "Indiana's manufacturing workforce is second to none. We welcome CS PowerTech's investment at River Ridge and are excited to launch Southern Indiana into the lead for advanced energy manufacturing and technology."
Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore, stated, "CS PowerTech is an important part of Jeffersonville's growth story. This investment reflects the strength of our workforce and our city's position as a premier destination for advanced manufacturing."
Marc Hildenbrand, Executive Director of the River Ridge Development Authority, said, "CS PowerTech's investment validates River Ridge's long-term vision as a destination for transformational growth. This facility shows how infrastructure, talent, and strong public-private partnerships can attract world-class advanced manufacturing to Southern Indiana."
The Jeffersonville facility will ramp production to full capacity for phase one over the next few months and CS PowerTech expects to begin work on phase two expansion before the end of the year.

Key questionsWhat was the stated context for this transaction?
The sale was executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on March 12, 2026. These plans allow insiders to schedule stock sales in advance to mitigate concerns regarding potential material non-public information.How does this sale align with the company's recent market performance?

The 8,500 shares were sold by Wolf Investors, LLC. The manager of the entity is Paul Karger, and the sole member is the Brian P. Halligan 2026 New Hampshire Trust, for which the reporting person serves as the settlor.What is the scale of the remaining insider position?
Following this transaction, Halligan maintains a significant interest in the company, holding ~439,000 shares in total. This collective stake represents an estimated market value of $95.99 million as of the July 21, 2026 market close.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-21)$218.58Market Capitalization$11.4 billionRevenue (TTM)$3.3 billionNet Income (TTM)$100.3 millionCompany SnapshotHubSpot provides a comprehensive, cloud-based customer relationship management platform that integrates marketing, sales, customer service, and content management modules, with specialized tools for SEO optimization, website management, and AI-driven chatbot functionality.The company operates a subscription-based SaaS business model, generating recurring revenue through tiered pricing plans that serve businesses of varying sizes and complexity requirements across multiple operational functions.HubSpot targets small to mid-market and enterprise customers globally across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions, serving organizations seeking integrated solutions to streamline customer engagement and operational efficiency.HubSpot is a leading cloud-based CRM platform provider with a market capitalization of $11.4 billion and TTM revenue of $3.3 billion, serving a diverse customer base across multiple geographies.

What this transaction means for investorsHalligan’s sale of HubSpot is one that likely should not concern investors.
As previously mentioned, this was a sale conducted under Rule10b5-1, a pre-planned sale adopted on March 12 and conducted on behalf of the Brian P. Halligan 2026 New Hampshire Trust.
Investors should note that the stock fell slightly since March 12, and it reduced Halligan’s total equity stake by only 2%, meaning that he almost certainly sold shares for personal reasons and probably still believes in the company’s future growth prospects.
More importantly, now is probably not a great time to sell HubSpot. The stock has suffered as AI-driven fears have caused investors to sell SaaS stocks like HubSpot.

Moreover, HubSpot’s revenue in the first quarter of 2026 rose by 23% yearly and by 17% during 2025. That pattern would counter the narrative that AI has endangered the company’s business model.
Furthermore, while its P/E ratio of 115 makes the stock appear expensive, improving profitability is on track to take the forward earnings multiple down to 17. That improvement is likely more meaningful to the stock’s value than Halligan’s modest share sale.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: The futures are trading higher after a dreadful day across Wall Street, when all the major indices were pounded and ended deeply in the red. Skyrocketing oil prices, rising interest rates, the highest since 2025, worries of an extended war with Iran spreading over the Middle East, and a host of other issues conspired to send stocks plummeting at the open, and they never recovered. Solid earnings, combined with massive capital expenditures, were not the answer, and by the close, all the major indices were trading off the day’s lows. Once again, the Nasdaq was the biggest loser, dropping 2.15% to finish at 25,137, while the S&P 500 finished the session at 7,408, down 1.48%. The Dow Jones Industrials closed at 51,711, down 0.97%, and the small-cap-heavy Russell 2000 fared the best, closing at 2,933, down 0.88%. With second-quarter earnings results pouring in, companies that miss expectations can count on being taken to the proverbial woodshed.
Treasury Bonds: The song remains the same for the Treasury complex, as yields soared again on Thursday amid surging oil prices, ongoing Middle East worries, and inflation, all setting the table for more selling. When the last trade was posted, the 30-year long bond ended the session at 5.17%, while the 10-year note closed at 4.70%.
Oil and Gas: The major oil benchmarks continue their relentless move higher, and some feel that, given the current start of negotiations with Iran, the Houthis are pressuring Red Sea oil shipments, and that growing concern about overall supply could make an already bad situation really ugly fast. Brent Crude closed Thursday at $99.86, up 6.15%, while West Texas Intermediate was last seen at $91.57, up 5.46%. Natural gas closed lower at $2.92, down 0.34%.
Gold: Surprisingly, given the overall negative sentiment and decline in stocks and bonds, Gold closed Thursday lower. Traders and sector analysts cited the stronger U.S. dollar, surging oil prices that are fanning inflation, and worries about an interest rate hike, which could come as soon as September. Gold closed Thursday at $4,048, down 1.95%, while Silver closed at $57.42, down 3.46%.
Crypto: Cryptocurrencies declined on Thursday, July 23, 2026, as a broader risk-off move hit global and tech equities. Major digital assets faced mild selling pressure, with Bitcoin dipping below the $65,000–$66,000 range and Ethereum retreating toward $1,890. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin traded at $64,962, while Ethereum traded at $1,878.

Silver (XAG/USD) trades around $58.55 at the time of writing on Friday, up 2.24% on the day, benefiting from a modest pullback in the US Dollar (USD) following its recent rally. The white metal is attempting to recover after Thursday's sharp correction, although it remains exposed to a macroeconomic backdrop that continues to weigh on non-yielding assets.
The US Dollar edges slightly lower, providing temporary support for precious metals. However, the move remains limited as US Treasury yields stay close to their recent highs, with investors continuing to price in the risk of more persistent inflation.
Higher Oil prices remain at the centre of market concerns. Attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and the escalation of the Middle East conflict are fuelling fears of prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies. This backdrop reinforces expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may have to keep interest rates higher for longer, or even consider another rate hike if inflationary pressures continue to build.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets continue to price in a meaningful chance of further monetary tightening in the coming months, supporting the US Dollar and limiting the appeal of non-yielding assets such as Silver.
Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions continue to intensify. US military strikes against Iran are ongoing, while media reports suggest that US President Donald Trump is considering a large-scale military operation against Tehran. This environment of heightened uncertainty continues to support safe-haven flows, although the US Dollar is benefiting more than precious metals, helping explain Silver's limited recovery despite the Greenback's pullback.
Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
OCBC’s Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong observe that while the European Central Bank (ECB) left rates unchanged in July and is expected to deliver at least one more 25 bp hike to 2.50% in September, rising energy prices still tilt terms-of-trade in favor of the US Dollar (USD) over the Euro (EUR). Europe’s status as a net energy importer versus the US as an exporter leaves the Euro more vulnerable to sustained Oil strength.
Energy terms-of-trade still favor Dollar"Meanwhile, the ECB kept rates unchanged in July as expected and did not push back against market pricing for a 25bp hike in September."
"We continue to expect a final 25bp increase to 2.50% in September, although the risks are tilted towards an additional hike."
"Even with the ECB maintaining a hawkish bias amid rising energy prices, relative terms-of-trade dynamics favour the USD over the EUR."
"Europe remains a net energy importer, while the US is a net energy exporter, making the euro more vulnerable to sustained increases in oil prices."
"Energy-linked currencies such as NOK have outperformed, while net energy importers including NZD and SEK have lagged."

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $BAH #earnings--Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced preliminary results for the first quarter fiscal year 2027.
Booz Allen Hamilton reported lower fiscal first-quarter profit and revenue, but the company maintained its outlook and said it is seeing accelerating demand across parts of the business.
Rigetti Computing (RGTI -2.50%) is one of the most prominent pure-play names in the emerging quantum computing space.
It is important to note that this is an early-stage technology that is years away, maybe even a decade or more, from being ready for wide commercial adoption. However, according to a 2026 report from McKinsey, quantum computing could deliver $1.3 trilion to $2.7 trillion in economic value to companies by 2035.
And the space is growing. In 2025, according to McKinsey, quantum computing companies generated about $1 billion in revenue. In 2028, they expect that to grow to $4.4 billion.
"By creating the teams and capabilities to succeed with quantum now, first movers can capture an early advantage," the McKinsey report said. "They can also secure intellectual property to build defensible ownership of key quantum computing applications."
Rigetti may be one of the leading pure-play quantum computing stocks. But tech behemoths like IBM (IBM +0.41%), Alphabet (GOOG -6.88%), and Microsoft (MSFT -2.13%) are also investing heavily in the space.
That points to one of the risks inherent in investing in small companies in emerging industries -- the big guys may come in and take over. That's not to say that some of the many start-ups in the space won't eventually emerge as quantum computing powerhouses, but it is unlikely that all of them will.
Where does Rigetti fit in?
Image source: Getty Images.
A quantum advantage Rigetti makes superconducting qubit processors and has a full-stack system for quantum computing that includes chip fabrication, packaging, architecture, control systems, and cloud infrastructure. That full-stack vertical integration makes it different from most of its competitors, particularly the pure-play rivals.
The company is generating very little revenue right now. In the first quarter, its top line was just $4.4 million, most of which came from government, academic, and research customers using its systems. But that was up from $1.7 million a year earlier.

It also had $33 million in net income, but the positive side of that came entirely from a $53.7 million gain from fair value accounting changes. It had an adjusted net loss of $14.7 million or $0.04 per share. The good news is, it has $569 million in cash and equivalents on its books, and no debt, which puts it in good shape to keep investing in developing its technology in pursuit of a commercializable offering.
Is Rigetti stock a buy? In late May, Rigetti stock popped from around $16 to over $27 per share after it was announced that it had signed a $100 million letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for quantum computing research and development.
But the stock soon retreated, and closed trading Thursday at $14.85 per share. Such is the volatile nature of a speculative stock backed by little revenue and no real profits. Currently, the stock is down about 33% year-to-date.
Such ups and downs will likely be the pattern for Rigetti stock until the quantum computing industry matures. Wall Street analysts have a median 12-month price target of $30.50 per share on the stock, which would suggest more than 100% upside and get it above where it traded in May. But it could be prone to wild swings along the way.
If you want to take a chance on a more speculative play like this, it would be wise to make it a relatively small position in your portfolio, and to be prepared for a lot of volatility.

NEXT HEADLINE »Allspring Global Investments Holdings LLC Reduces Holdings in Rambus, Inc. $RMBS
Silver traded near $57.76 on Friday and remained on course for a weekly gain of around 3.4%. The metal retained that weekly advance despite Thursday’s 3.4% decline, but the recovery remains tentative.
The immediate question is whether buyers can reclaim $60, the top of its 100-EMA bollinger band®.
A sustained move above this level would improve the short-term structure, allowing Silver to catch a breather before either:
Getting rejected back to 55.59-57.21.Or rising towards 61.50 to 64.Potentially reaching $68 or $71, previous zones of consolidation or resistance.Since mid-May, silver has repeatedly struggled beneath its four-hour 100 EMA band, shown by the blue area on the chart. The band is set at half a standard deviation and has acted as dynamic resistance during the decline.
Buyers may now be preparing to challenge it. Silver has bounced from the area surrounding its June low, while stochastic RSI momentum appears stretched following the recent sell-off.
However, being oversold does not mean the decline has ended.
Silver still needs to close above the EMA band and reclaim $60 before the bounce becomes technically more convincing.
That would open the way towards the $61.50 to $64.00 resistance zone. The upper end of this range is the more important test because a break and hold above $64 would provide stronger evidence that buyers have regained control.
It would also complete the neckline break required for the potential double-bottom pattern. This would bring $71 into view as the approximate measured-move target, with $68 acting as another resistance.
The setup would weaken if silver falls back through its June low. Until the EMA band and $60 are reclaimed, this remains a possible reversal rather than a confirmed bullish breakout.

Gold (XAU/USD) steadies on Friday after falling nearly 2% the previous day, as surging Oil prices fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may need to raise interest rates amid a worsening inflation outlook. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $4,060 after hitting an intraday low of $4,022.
A pullback in Oil prices pushes the US Dollar (USD) and US Treasury yields slightly lower, lending some support to the precious metal, which typically moves inversely to both. Still, the upside remains limited as market sentiment stays tied to the hawkish Fed narrative, while the prospects for peace in the Middle East appear slim in the near term.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets now see a 78% chance of a rate hike in September, while the Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its July 28-29 meeting.
Trade tensions also add to the inflation concerns after the United States (US) imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners on Friday.
On the geopolitical front, the US military completed its 13th consecutive night of strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump told Axios that he was “considering a massive attack” and was “close to making a decision.” Iran has also targeted US military bases in Jordan and Bahrain.
The war is now threatening two major energy-shipping routes, the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, raising the risk of prolonged supply disruption and keeping Oil prices elevated.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rallied 6% on Thursday, briefly climbing above $92.00. At the time of writing, WTI trades around $88.50, hovering near its highest level in more than a month.
Analysts at ING note that “despite ongoing geopolitical risks, gold has struggled to attract meaningful safe-haven demand since the conflict began,” with investor attention instead shifting toward “the inflationary implications of higher oil prices and the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates.”
Against this backdrop, Gold’s near-term outlook remains tilted to the downside. However, the yellow metal continues to hold above the psychological $4,000 mark, leaving XAU/USD broadly range-bound between $4,000 and $4,200 for a fifth consecutive week.
On the US economic docket, traders await the preliminary S&P Global Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data, due during American trading hours.
On the daily chart, XAU/USD maintains a bearish near-term tone, holding below the Bollinger middle band (20-period Simple Moving Average) at $4,068 and well below the 100-day simple moving average near $4,480.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers below the 50 line, while an elevated Average Directional Index above 35 hints that the prevailing downside phase still carries meaningful trend strength despite recent consolidation.
On the topside, initial resistance is located at the Bollinger middle band around $4,068, with further upside barriers at the upper Bollinger band near $4,180, followed by a more strategic horizontal resistance at $4,350 and the distant 100-day SMA around $4,480.
On the downside, immediate support emerges at the psychological $4,000 mark, followed by the lower Bollinger Band near $3,957. A more substantial demand zone is seen around $3,800, where buyers could step in if the decline extends.

RELX PLC (LSE:REL) is beginning to prove its doubters wrong by showing that artificial intelligence could accelerate growth rather than disrupt its business, although analysts believe further evidence is needed before the shares secure a substantial re-rating.
Following first-half results from the FTSE 100 giant, Deutsche Bank retained its 'buy' recommendation and lifted its target to 3,100p from 3,050p, while UBS reiterated its 'buy' rating and 3,600p price target, implying almost 47% upside from the latest close of 2,451p.
RELX has been one of several data and software publishers hit hard by investor fears that AI could undermine their business models, eroding demand for the subscription products and specialist tools.
But UBS analyst Jo Barnet-Lamb said the results showed "AI-led organic acceleration", with growth at the Scientific, Technical & Medical division increasing to 6% and Legal advancing to 10%.
Adoption of products including LeapSpace and Lexis+ with Protégé continues to rise, supporting what UBS described as a "multi-year growth and upsell opportunity".
Group organic revenue increased 7%, while margins expanded by 70 basis points – well ahead of the 20 basis points expected by analysts.
Deutsche Bank's Steve Liechti said the rapid introduction of products and increasing usage suggested RELX was "only at the beginning of the growth/upside journey".
He argued that "AI worries look overplayed" because rivals using large language models cannot easily access or replicate RELX's proprietary content, data infrastructure and embedded tools.
Barnet-Lamb agreed that structural disruption was unlikely, noting that the first-half figures showed "no evidence of AI-related disruption". However, he expects the wider "AI overhang" to weigh on the shares in the near term.
RELX shares trade at 17.6 times forecast 2026 earnings, well below its five-year average of 24.1 times, the UBS analyst noted, calling it "a re-rating story" requiring continued delivery to close the widening gap between earnings momentum and share-price performance.
Investing isn't just for Wall Street's biggest financial institutions anymore. According to an analysis by the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, retail investors accounted for 25% of total equities trading volume in 2021, which was nearly double the reported percentage from the previous decade.
As retail investors make their presence felt, it pays to know which stocks they're buying. Based on data aggregated by Vanda Research, as of July 17, one stock was the runaway winner in terms of net flows by individual investors in July -- and neither Nvidia nor Apple even made the list of top buys. The trillion-dollar stock that retail investors are piling into is none other than Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) (SPCX +2.56%).

The buzziest IPO in history combines Wall Street's two hottest trends Data from Vanda shows that retail investors spent $320 million through the first 2.5 weeks of July purchasing shares of SpaceX. To put this figure into perspective, retail investors poured four times as much into SpaceX as they did into Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla, combined!
Some of this buzz certainly ties into SpaceX's record-breaking initial public offering (IPO). SpaceX raised $85.7 billion from its debut, including the underwriters' overallotment option.
Retail investors have poured $320 million into SpaceX $SPCX this month--by far the most of any individual stock 🚀 pic.twitter.com/DiTCixpPal
-- Barchart (@Barchart) July 20, 2026 It's also tackling two of the hottest trillion-dollar addressable opportunities on the planet: artificial intelligence (AI) and space. SpaceX's prospectus laid out a $28.5 trillion addressable market, $26.5 trillion of which is tied to AI start-up xAI.
Furthermore, Musk has generated otherworldly returns as Tesla's CEO, and retail investors are hoping for an encore performance as CEO of SpaceX.
But while the catalysts are evident, so is the laundry list of risk factors.

SpaceX may represent the biggest fleecing of retail investors in Wall Street's storied history Retail investors who purchased SpaceX stock in July have little to be thankful for, with shares down 28% since the month began (through the closing bell on July 21). Despite the early buzz that lifted SpaceX to a nearly $3 trillion valuation, reality is setting in.
While SpaceX is tackling two trillion-dollar addressable opportunities, the company isn't profitable and hasn't yet established that its capital-intensive operations are even sustainable over the long term. The extensive funding needs for xAI and the company's space infrastructure are likely to result in dilutive equity and/or debt offerings.
Retail investors are also on the verge of being fleeced by insiders.
Great look at the SpaceX shares unlock schedule as well as the potential passive buying schedule from @JSeyff @FrancisSharoon Depending on the early post-IPO returns, this could really play with and disperse the returns of "passive" funds (which is why there's arguably no such... pic.twitter.com/KOuEkJlngF
-- Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) May 28, 2026 Whereas most newly public companies prohibit insiders from selling their shares for 180 days after debut, SpaceX is using an accelerated and staggered unlock schedule for select insiders. Beginning as early as two days after the company's first quarterly report on Aug. 4, insiders can start cashing out at retail investors' expense. This wealth transfer from retail investors to insiders should continue through mid-December.
Additionally, Elon Musk doesn't have the best track record of delivering on his outlandish guarantees. Although these promises are baked into Tesla's share price, the overwhelming majority of innovative promises made by Tesla's and SpaceX's boss have failed to come to fruition.
Retail investors piling into SpaceX in July are likely to regret their decision.

SpaceX (SPCX +2.56%) is one of the most unique businesses to ever hit public markets.
Many in the general public think of the company as a rocket stock. And this is true. SpaceX is arguably the leading rocket company in the world right now, with technology and capabilities greater than any competitor.
But SpaceX is far more than a rocket company. More than 90% of the company's claimed total addressable market, for example, deals exclusively with artificial intelligence (AI). In many ways, SpaceX should be thought of as an AI company, not a rocket company.
Further still, SpaceX has dreams of making the human species interplanetary. The company's initial public offering (IPO) prospectus mentions dozens of times its intention to form colonies on planetary bodies other than Earth. According to filings, SpaceX intends to begin this process by first establishing a human base on the moon.
"Our mission is to build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars," SpaceX's IPO prospectus declares. "To do this, we have formed the most ambitious, vertically integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth with unmatched capabilities to rapidly manufacture and launch space-based communications that connect the world, to harness the Sun to power a truth-seeking artificial intelligence that advances scientific discovery, and ultimately to build a base on the Moon and cities on other planets."
These are bold claims. And investors would be wise to note that building a base on the Moon -- not to mention building cities on other planets -- is mentioned last in SpaceX's mission statement.
Still, the claims do raise the question: When exactly might SpaceX return humans to the moon? Statistics from betting market Kalshi give us some indication of what some people think, although these markets need to be viewed critically. Betting markets are opaque and lightly regulated, and investors shouldn't rely on them for making decisions.

Betting markets are bullish on SpaceX's moon ambitions SpaceX's own website claims that it will conduct "cargo flights to the lunar surface for research, development, and exploratory missions ... no earlier than 2028." NASA, meanwhile, recently announced a $20 billion initiative aiming to establish a permanent nuclear-powered base on the Moon's south pole by 2032. Put together, investors should expect significant movement in SpaceX's moon base efforts in the coming years.

Although we don't have betting market information for SpaceX's upcoming moon landings, we do have some interesting statistics related to SpaceX's efforts to land humans on the surface of Mars. Presumably, these efforts would come after a moon base is established, giving investors some insight into the timing of both.
According to Kalshi, SpaceX "plans to send a million people to Mars using a thousand Starships sent during a Mars launch window, which occurs approximately every 26 months. Proposed journeys would require 80 to 150 days of transit time, averaging approximately 100 days."
Since 2024, investors have been betting on whether SpaceX will launch a manned flight to Mars before the start of 2030. In November of 2024, the predicted odds of this happening peaked at about 25%. Currently, however, the odds of the company launching a human flight to Mars by 2030 have slipped to about 10%.
Notably, Kalshi also has a small market where investors can bet on whether SpaceX will successfully land anything at all on the surface of Mars by 2030. In 2024, the odds were about 40%. Today, they hover just below 30%.
Earlier this year, the BBC reported that China is forging ahead with its own plans to land humans on the Moon by 2030. This news should trigger increased interest in the U.S. completing its own moon mission by that time. With best-in-class rocket technology, SpaceX should benefit from the renewed space race.
Although AI remains critical to SpaceX's growth trajectory, investors should expect plenty of investment in its moon project. Public and private interests seem to be aligning behind these efforts.
Technology may prove the biggest limiting factor to returning to the moon by 2030. I'm also keeping a close eye on SpaceX's funding capacities. Following a successful IPO, SpaceX's stock price is now below its offering price for the first time. And while plenty of financing options remain on the table, SpaceX may be forced to allocate its capital more tightly should markets fall or investor enthusiasm wane.
This is the biggest factor long term for SpaceX's growth ambitions: access to capital. That's especially true given the company remains unprofitable, with heavy capital expenditures resulting in mounting losses so far this year. The company's ability to scale its AI business, establish a base on the moon, and launch humans toward Mars will rely just as much on finances as it will on ambition.
Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX +2.56%) had its initial public offering (IPO) on June 12 and was fast-tracked into the Nasdaq-100 on July 7. But SpaceX won't be added to the S&P 500 (^GSPC -1.21%) or to index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P 500 until at least a year after its IPO. That means that SpaceX is still not a holding in Vanguard's largest ETF by net assets: the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO -1.21%).
However, there are plenty of major Vanguard ETFs that don't use the S&P 500 as a benchmark. Here's how much SpaceX stock they are buying and what investors should expect their SpaceX positions to look like in the coming months.

Data source: Vanguard. 1. Market value as of June 30, 2026. 2. Hypothetical eventual percentage of funds based on Meta Platforms' weighting in each fund.
Investors can expect SpaceX's weighting in these ETFs to increase in line with the SpaceX shares available for trading on the Nasdaq -- known as the float. For the time being, SpaceX isn't weighted in these ETFs based on its market cap but rather on a float-adjusted weighting to account for the vast majority of SpaceX shares that are held by insiders and restricted from trading.
However, 20% of Early Release Eligible Shares will be unlocked on Aug. 6. A total of 55% of Early Release Eligible Shares could be unlocked before the end of October.
Investors can expect ETFs to gradually increase their SpaceX holdings as its float increases. Eventually, SpaceX will be weighted by its market cap rather than its float. With a market cap of $1.5 trillion at the time of this writing, SpaceX currently has roughly the same market cap as Meta Platforms.
The table's Hypothetical Eventual Percentage of Funds column uses Meta as a proxy for weighting SpaceX in each fund. It shows Meta's current weighting in each fund and, therefore, roughly what SpaceX would be weighted once it is based on market cap rather than float.
On a percentage basis, the Vanguard Communication Services ETF has the largest SpaceX position -- making it the ETF's 13th-largest holding. Surprisingly, SpaceX is the No. 1 largest holding in the Vanguard Extended Market ETF. But that ETF tracks the S&P Completion Index, which includes mid- and small-cap equities. SpaceX may temporarily appear in that index due to its float-adjusted market cap, but investors should expect its weighting in the Vanguard Extended Market ETF to be 0% before the end of the year.
As you can see in the table, SpaceX was added to Russell 1000 funds because SpaceX is in that index, which doesn't have the same admission standards as the S&P 500. And it's also on track to be a major holding in the Vanguard Growth ETF, one of Vanguard's largest ETFs by net assets; the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF; and the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF -- the second-largest Vanguard ETF by net assets, behind the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is so big that even a 0.14% position is worth over $3 billion -- giving the ETF roughly the same number of SpaceX shares as the other eight Vanguard ETFs combined.
The Vanguard World Stock ETF holds the smallest SpaceX weighting because it includes more than 10,000 stocks from developed and emerging markets. Even if SpaceX had Meta Platforms' weight in that ETF, it would still be a small position at just 1.1%.

An excellent ETF to buy and hold There are plenty of ways to get exposure to SpaceX, such as buying the stock directly, selecting an ETF where SpaceX will soon become a top holding, like the Vanguard Communication Services ETF, low-cost growth ETFs, or general total U.S. or world stock market ETFs.
The dirt cheap 0.03% expense ratio and simplicity of the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF make it my favorite buy of the bunch. The ETF is very similar to the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, since the S&P 500 accounts for about 80% of the U.S. stock market. But I like the additional diversification that the Total Stock Market ETF provides.
The Total Stock Market ETF added SpaceX faster than an ETF that is tied to a rules-based index like the S&P 500. And it will probably add Anthropic and OpenAI within weeks of their IPOs.
All told, investors who want a smaller position in SpaceX may prefer the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF over the growth of sector-specific funds.
