Post-Holiday Trading Heats Up on the Heels of Hot Earnings From CRM, MRVL, OKTA

by | Dec 4, 2024

The market is rallying nicely ahead of the open Wednesday after strong earnings data from Salesforce (CRM), which is a great gauge of how consumer discretionary is doing in the U.S. 

CRM raised its full-year revenue forecast, as did Okta (OKTA) and Marvell, (MRVL), and that’s one of the best things a company can do in regard to its stock price. This is a very important thing. 

Altogether, those three stocks are all up 12% or more.

Not only that, but the third day after a major holiday is generally when institutions are really back to trading, so volume starts to get back to normal. 

I don’t know if this is sustainable, but I like what I’m seeing so far.

Communication Services (XLC), the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), Semiconductors (SMH) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY) are currently leading the way. 

Market cap is being driven by the Magnificent 7 stocks while the equal-weighted S&P 500 (RSP) is down to its eight-day moving average. 

So right now, things look strong, but this is ultimately a red flag because you don’t want seven stocks to carry the whole market…

I’ll cover all that, my daily hitlist of longs and shorts and more in this morning’s “Premarket Must Watch” video!
