Amazon to buy Starlink-rival Globalstar as space economy booms

Sevens Research Report founder Tom Essaye, Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferre, and JonesTrading chief market strategist Michael O’Rourke join Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss the upcoming deal and the booming space economy.

I think that we have seen some valuations come in. Look, as corporate America continues to perform incredibly well on the hall. And that is a story that is being lost amidst this like headline chaos we’ve had basically since the first day of this year. whether it’s Fed drama or the war in Iran or tariff Supreme Court rules. There’s been another geopolitical or political headline every day.

All the while, corporate America has been performing incredibly well. They have cash, they are looking to grow, and as we have started to hear in earnings season and I think we’re going to continue to hear in earnings season, they are firing on all cylinders. And that is the biggest support for this market. It’s also the most underappreciated positive for this market.

Tom Essaye Warns Rally Lacks Confirmation From Key Markets

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says stocks may be moving too fast without support from bonds and oil.

U.S. stocks may be moving past the Iran conflict — but these markets aren’t sending the ‘all clear’ just yet

That could be a sign that investors should think twice before chasing the rally in stocks, said Tom Essaye, publisher of Sevens Report Research, in commentary shared with MarketWatch.

“While we are happy stocks have rebounded, this furious 10-day rally has not been confirmed by other asset classes, most notably Treasury yields and oil prices, and we do think that nonconfirmation should give some stock investors cause for pause,” Essaye said.

“If the oil markets were as confident about a lasting detente between the U.S. and Iran, oil prices would be solidly lower,” Essaye said in written commentary. He also pointed out that the 2-year Treasury yield is still well above its prewar level, signaling that bond traders aren’t as confident that the Fed will cut interest rates later in the year.

“Now, to be clear, this nonconfirmation does not automatically mean that stocks are ‘wrong’ and oil/Treasurys are ‘right.’ Treasury yields could fall sharply in the coming days to confirm the move in stocks and oil could plunge on any announcement of a more permanent ceasefire,” Essaye added.

“However, it does show us that not all traders and strategists are viewing the impacts of the war as being so ‘transitory’ as the move in stocks implies.”

Tom Essaye Chats About Bank Earnings with Yahoo Finance

Tom Essaye chats about bank earnings with Yahoo Finance

JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, BlackRock: Bank earnings takeaways

JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citi (C), and BlackRock (BLK) continued bank earnings week on Tuesday following Goldman Sachs’ (GS) strong results on Monday.

Sevens Research Report founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about the earnings results.

I think that JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are two of the best in breed financials because of their execution. I mean, it’s sort of seemingly quarter after quarter. Wells Fargo, you know, not so much these last couple of quarters. But JPM and you look across the business line, right? There were no major warts in any of these reports. They reiterate guidance. Yes, Jamie Diamond sort of echoed the caution he had in his annual shareholder letters, but we know he’s become a bit more, I guess cautious would be a good word to say in his sort of macro commentary over the past couple years. I’ve been looking at these bank results very closely. BlackRock’s another one. I think BlackRock, although not as popular as the first two, they kind of downplayed the private credit concerns. That business was net accretive for them in Q1.

Tom Essaye discusses market complacency with Yahoo Finance

Is Wall Street too complacent on recession risk?

Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferre and Sevens Research Report founder Tom Essaye chat with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about the survey results.

I think that yes, the market is a bit too complacent on recession risks. Not because I think a recession is imminent. It’s just because the market’s so complacent towards it, right? Now, I get why. The labor market, which is really the key, is still very strong and I think if you’re going to get a contraction in growth, you have to see the labor market deteriorate. But there are headwinds on this economy and there have been headwinds for a long time.

It doesn’t mean that we’re going to suddenly collapse, but we could see growth continue to grow. You know, we’re back at basically the all-time highs and we’re in the middle of a war, private credit concerns, AI anxiety, and growth is slowing a bit. So I just think everybody should sort of think about that from a valuation standpoint. We’re priced for, you know, close to perfection right now.
