His pick. Let's see if demand broadens out.

The anti-trust suit is more bark than bite, this regulatory overhang. It takes years for the decisions to come down and won't impact the company overall. Google will remain the top search engine; it's so dominant. At most, there will be a very short-term drag on the stock.

On the recent pullback, he bought half a position, because he sees downside to the risk. On the pullback, NVDA's PE fell close to the level he wanted. It is one of the highest-quality tech margins, generating enormous free cash flow, 78% gross margins, 65% operating margins, no debt and capex is only 1% of sales.

There's a regulatory overhang, but they will pay the fine and move on. More concerning is the lack of profit shown from their spending in AI. Peers like Apple and MSFT are showing better performance here. GOOG will underperform vs. peers for an extended period of time.

What bothers him is that the new Interim CEO should have been named the new CEO which would have made the transition smoother.

They report next Wednesday, an important day. The street expects comp sales at 2.7%. Q2 saw a lot of gifting events--Mother's and Father's Days. He expects a strong report.

She also likes that they re-set numbers: same-store sales are forecast at 6% instead of 7% due to higher food costs which is still an amazing comp. Share buybacks remain solid.

Today's data corroborated the trends already in place, that inflation across NA is cooling. It gets people wondering when rate cuts will start? Not only is inflation cooling, but there are so many economic indicators (especially on the consumer side) showing how drastically things are slowing.
