I think that this is a very smart move by Meta, Says Tom Essaye

Is Meta’s recent rally sustainable?

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about Meta’s latest stock moves and what that may signal about its sustainability.

So essentially kind of the bullish catalyst was AI deciding to lease out a lot of their processing power and compute to all this AI demand. So here we go. We’re sort of leveraging on the AI data center demand craziness even more. And don’t get me wrong, people are paying for a premium and I think that this is a very smart move by Meta.

But I don’t view this as sort of a this isn’t a sustainable turn for them. This is them just looking around saying, okay, what can we make money on and we have capacity here and let’s lease it out while demand is sky high. Shrewd move in the short term. I think it is created a decent size bump in the stock obviously, and the chart is looking better, but for me it’s going to be about earnings, it’s going to be about their CapEx number, what’s happening with free cash flow, and what is their guidance on how we turn all of this into real money sooner than later.

Sevens Report Analyst Quoted by ABC News

/in , /by

Why did the stock market soar in the first half of 2026? Experts explain

“The Magnificent Seven was all the craze in 2024 and 2025. Now it’s sluggish,” Tyler Richey, an analyst at Sevens Report Research, told ABC News. “You’ve got leadership in other corners of tech, especially chipmakers.”

“Dovish expectations of a rate cut this year were a narrative in the first half of 2026. Now an interest rate hike is being priced in. There’s more risk and less fundamental support from the Fed,” Richey said.

Still, Richey acknowledged a large degree of uncertainty.

“It has been extremely challenging to time this market,” Richey added.

Can The Spending Continue? Micron Says Yes.

/in , /by

If investors believe it will last, then this market has a lot more room to run Says Tom Essaye

‘We don’t view this as a bubble’ that will pop soon: Wall Street weighs surging AI costs on stock market rally

“Can the spending continue — is there enough capital to continue to fund all this? And Micron came out and basically said yes, yes, there is,” Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye told Yahoo Finance on Thursday.

Essaye noted that despite Micron’s massive earnings growth, the stock still trades at around 10 times forward earnings, roughly half the multiple of the broader S&P 500.

“If investors believe it will last, which Micron’s earnings helped reinforce that idea, then this market has a lot more room to run,” Essaye said.

Tom Essaye Break Down Micron’s Earnings Beat With Yahoo Finance

The most important part of the Micron earnings were really their referencing these strategic customer agreements, Says Tom Essaye

‘We don’t view this as a bubble’ that will pop soon: Wall Street weighs surging AI costs on stock market rally

Yahoo Finance Senior Business Reporter Ines Ferre and Sevens Report Research Founder Tom Essaye break down Micron’s (MU) earnings beat and stronger-than-expected guidance. They discuss how record revenue and growing demand for AI memory chips may boost confidence in the broader AI trade.

You know, over the past couple days, you’ve sort of the market has gotten itself in sort of a negative feedback loop, right? Saying is this sustainable? Can the spending continue? Is there enough capital to continue to fund all this? And Micron came out and basically said, yes, yes, there is. And that’s turning sentiment around. The most important part of the Micron earnings were really their referencing these strategic customer agreements.

The whole key around the memory boom, much like inflation honestly, is it a flash in the pan or is it sustainable? Micron is growing earnings at like hundreds and hundreds of percent, but the stock only trades at a 10X forward multiple. The S&P 500 trades at a 20X forward multiple and isn’t growing earnings nearly as fast. The reason Micron and Nvidia are cheap is because investors are concerned that this earnings boom won’t last. If earnings, if investors believe it will last, which Micron’s earnings helped, you know, reinforce that idea, then this market has a lot more room to run.

I Don’t Think Any of This is a Major Indictment of AI, Tom Essaye tells Barron’s.

I don’t think any of this is a major indictment of AI, Tom Essaye tells Barron’s.

Mag 7 Stocks Shed Nearly $3 Trillion This Month

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s that the so-called hyperscalers are drawing some scrutiny from Wall Street lately for their big spending efforts.

“I don’t think any of this is a major indictment of AI, but if we think about all this stuff needing an ROI, if everything costs way more, then the ROI needs to be bigger—or big enough—to absorb these insane cost increases that people have to deal with on the memory and chip side of things,” Essaye says.

Hyperliquid Has Been One of the Breakout Success Stories

/in , /by

One of the breakout success stories in digital assets, Tom Essaye tells Barron’s.

Believe the HYPE. 1 New Crypto ETF and 2 New Funds Look Intriguing

Tom Essaye, editor of daily markets newsletter The Sevens Report, remarked Thursday that the Bitwise Hyperliquid exchange-traded fund piqued his interest.

Essaye noted that Hyperliquid has been “one of the breakout success stories in digital assets” since perpetual futures are “crypto native derivatives that allow continuous leveraged exposure to assets without expiration.” They are being used with commodities and stocks, too, such as for trading oil on the weekends and betting on pre-IPO pricing trends for SpaceX.

Essaye added that investors in the Bitwise ETF can profit from both the appreciation in the price of the Hyperliquid token as well as the fact that the ETF earns so-called staking rewards, yield generated by validating tokens on the blockchain. Essaye said he also likes the fact that Bitwise invests nearly all the fees it receives back into Hyperliquid by purchasing more tokens.

Investors Are No Longer Willing To Pay Up Blindly For The Data Center Boom

/in , /by

Cheap AI stock valuations raise doubts about data center demand

Tom Essaye argues they may be saying something less comfortable: investors are no longer willing to pay up blindly for the data center boom.

Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, said in a Wednesday note that cheaper AI stock valuations could reflect fear that the current wave of data center spending may slow. That matters because growth stocks typically receive richer multiples when investors believe future earnings will justify them. When some of the market’s most visible AI-linked names trade close to, or below, the S&P 500’s forward price-to-earnings ratio of 21.5, the message is not simply that shares are inexpensive. It may be that investors are questioning whether the earnings they once expected will arrive.

Essaye framed the risk through a hypothetical example. “Think of it this way: GOOGL (to use one as an example) cancels building 10 data centers because it’s going to cost too much money and the return isn’t there,” he wrote. “That will result in massive order cancellations at NVDA, MU, AVGO, SNDK, etc., because no one needs the chips, networking, memory, or processor power,” he added.

Tom Essaye Thinks Investors Aren’t Sure The Current Data Center Boom Will Last

AI chip stocks show low P/E ratios amid investor doubt

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye thinks this is because investors aren’t sure the current data center boom, fueling AI growth, will last.

Tom Essaye warns of massive cancelations.

Essaye compares today’s situation to the dot-com crash in 2000, warning that if market hype doesn’t turn into real growth, suppliers like NVIDIA and Micron could take a hit.
He says inflated expectations can backfire if demand doesn’t keep up: “massive order cancelations” could follow.
