$PANW Earnings Preview, Retail Week Showdown & Shay’s small cap playbook, $RKLB, $ASTS, $JMIA

Описание: Welcome to Daily Rip Live with Katie Perry and Shay Boloor, presented by Surf Air Mobility, as we break down a quiet market open that is anything but boring, with Palo Alto’s earnings on deck, a jam packed retail slate, Jackson Hole on Friday, small cap standouts, and Bitcoin dipping after fresh institutional headlines.

Here’s what went down:

🔐 Palo Alto Earnings Preview, CyberArk strategy
Investors are watching if Palo Alto can keep growth humming after last quarter’s beat and 14% YoY revenue increase. Shay is positioned long into the print, making the case that the CyberArk deal expands Palo Alto’s control layer for AI agents and machine credentials, positioning the platform for enterprise AI security at scale. He sees a potential re rating versus peers and a path back toward the 200s if the bar proves low.

🛍️ Retail week setup
Home Depot and Lowe’s report Tuesday, Target Wednesday, Walmart Thursday. Target struggled last quarter with revenue down nearly 3% and profits down 36%, while Walmart grew revenue and profits with online strength. This week is a clean read on the consumer, tariffs, and retail media.

🏦 Jackson Hole on Friday, rate cut watch
Markets lean toward a September cut despite a hot PPI print. Katie cites 71% odds for 25 bps on Polymarket and 85% on CME. Shay still expects a sell the news risk when cuts arrive, with politics hovering over the path.

🚀 Small cap spotlight
Shay’s small cap book has outperformed. He frames Rocket Lab as space logistics with a growing Pentagon footprint and launch mix, AST SpaceMobile as a B2B satellite to smartphone connectivity play with carrier partnerships, and Jumia as Africa’s on the ground logistics moat, highlighting Nigeria strength, raised guidance, a path to breakeven next year, and profitability by 2027 without new capital. Jumia’s tape shows accumulation, now a top three position in his small cap portfolio.

📈 Fibonacci cheat sheet, levels to watch
Shay walks through 0.382 retracements as psychological decision zones, noting how names like Nvidia, AMD, and others can overshoot skeptics’ expectations. He keeps a cash list of winners to buy on pullbacks and calls this only inning three of a long AI cycle.

₿ Bitcoin slides, TradFi crossover
Bitcoin dips below 115k as Katie flags BlackRock’s 5% stake in Saylor’s company and the broader institutional creep. Shay is exploring crypto miners as potential AI compute pivots, where cheap power and racks can redirect to GPU workloads as grid pressure builds.

🍤 The Chili’s economy
Wall Street Journal vibes in real life, casual dining value is winning as QSR prices converge with table service. Chili’s, Olive Garden, and Cheesecake Factory get the nod from the crew, with retail media also in focus for big box names and Jumia’s platform.
