/in , /by

One chart reveals why investors are concerned about earnings from Microsoft, Amazon, and other hyperscalers

“For me, it’s going to be about earnings with the Mag 7. It’s going to be about the capex number. What’s happening with free cash flow. And what is their guidance and how we turn all of this into real money sooner than later,” Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye said on Yahoo Finance’s Opening Bid.

Essaye is staying cautious about the Magnificent Seven names heading into earnings.

Tom Essaye Interview on Yahoo Finance

It’s definitely been a surprise, Says Tom Essaye

June CPI sparks debate over the Fed’s next move on interest rates

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi, Senior Business Reporter Brooke DiPalma, and Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye discuss the June Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and what it means for the outlook on inflation, the Federal Reserve, and the path forwasaysrd for interest rates.

It’s definitely been a surprise. He has definitely come out more hawkish than I think people have thought in his tone. But, you know, we also have to focus on what the Fed does and if we cut through kind of the very short statement and some of his commentary, the Fed really didn’t do and exactly what we thought they were going to do and they’re most likely going to do in July, what we think they’re going to do, which is nothing.

So certainly, I think that he is trying to use a little bit of a hawkish tone to help the market do some work for him on rates and to pressure inflation. But while the CPI print was positive, the market’s always what have you done for me lately, right?

And so now we’re looking at oil higher and even if inflation peaked in June or in May, which it probably did for the year, it still has to decline further to take rate hikes off the table for later in 2026. We’ve got to see some more continuation of these numbers in the coming months.

Tom Essaye Talks About Netflix with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor

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

Why Netflix is a lot less ‘compelling’ than these 2 media stocks

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chat with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about why Netflix isn’t a compelling buy in the media/entertainment space.

You know, over the past couple of years, Netflix has pulled levers to increase profitability by cracking down on sharing, by introducing, you know, more aggressive advertising, that sort of thing. But in the end, they’re now kind of being driven by their show slate and as you said, they have not had a hit in a while and that’s a problem.

Now, certainly the decline makes it, you know, somewhat attractive maybe on a value basis, but I agree with Thomas, it’s a show me stock. You have to see that there’s some sort of a of a turnaround or something coming down the pike that you can get excited about.

I actually agree with you, Brian. I think if I’m going to allocate some dollars to entertainment and sort of content, I would prefer Disney.

Tom Essaye and Yahoo Finance Opening Bid Panel Discuss Big Banks

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

Big banks see consumer holding up despite economic uncertainty

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi and his Opening Bid panel featuring guests: Globalt Investments senior portfolio manager Thomas Martin, Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye, and Yahoo Finance Senior Business Reporter Brooke DiPalma discuss what big banks are saying about consumer resiliency.

As long as the unemployment rate stays low. That’s the key to the whole sort of economic resiliency. That and the fact that the hyperscalers are just fire hosing hundreds of billions of dollars into all corners of the economy as they build out data centers as fast as they can. But the unemployment rate is low

And people can get jobs. And as long as that’s the case, then they’re going to be generally able to keep up, relatively speaking, with this inflation, and that’s been the key. The trouble is if that unemployment rate starts to rise or that people start to have a hard time finding jobs. That’s the lynch pin. As long as the unemployment rate stays low, then people can continue to stomach very high beef prices and egg prices and all the other things we’re having to deal with.

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.

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.

Tom Essaye Chats with Yahoo Finance to Discuss Where Markets are Headed

Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance to discuss where markets are headed

Why Ed Yardeni says a market melt-up could be coming

Yardeni Research’s Ed Yardeni says there is a 20% chance of a market melt-up and a 20% chance of a market meltdown.

Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma and Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye sit down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss where markets are headed.

“I don’t know what the official definition of a melt-up is, but 13 straight days is pretty substantial. I think that that sort of what is important to this melt-up though is why it is happening. I think the first stage of this, honestly, most of these 13 days has been funds that got underinvested or maybe a little too light into all this volatility, trying to chase stocks higher.

And we call these the Mag 7 stocks, the Mega Cap tech stocks, long only rentals. Which means if I’m a fund and I need to slap on exposure really fast, then I need a liquid stock that trades with a high beta to the market and I look right to Mega Cap tech. And so I think a lot of the gains of the past 13 days have not necessarily been fundamentally driven in these tech stocks, but just a lot of funds and investors trying to slap on exposure.

Now, we’re getting into earnings for these tech stocks. And if they’re good, then you’re going to see this thing just turbocharge. And so I think it is a lot about earnings and I think the sort of the pieces are in place for a continued melt up in the tech stocks.” Said Tom Essaye

I’ve Never Seen a Fed More Divided – Tom Essaye Says on Yahoo Finance

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor

What average investors should know about Fed nominee Kevin Warsh

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is set to face his confirmation hearing on Tuesday

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about what investors need to know about Warsh and his potential impact on the markets.

“I think that the net takeaway for a regular investor from Warsh is that he is going to he isn’t going to rock the boat. Look, there are concerns that he’s maybe not as big of a fan of QE and that maybe he’s a bit more dovish structurally than Powell was. But at the end of the day, it’s a committee. And yes, Warsh matters, but in my career at least, and guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never seen a Fed more divided. I’ve never seen a Fed committee that is more sort of torn on what they need to do.”
