Corporate America is the most optimistic it's been in 15 years but the market's still stuck: Chart of the Day Jared Blikre Updated Mon, July 27, 2026 at 1:55 AM PDT 2 min read ^GSPC FDS Wall Street usually spends earnings season talking down the next quarter. This time it's doing the opposite. More S&P 500 ( ^GSPC ) companies are raising their profit outlooks than cutting them, and the gap is the widest in the Bloomberg Intelligence data that starts in 2011. Analysts are lifting 2026 and 2027 estimates instead of trimming them, a reversal from the usual midyear markdown . The kind of signal that usually powers a rally. Bloomberg Intelligence, Yahoo Finance The beats are loud too.

Meta is set to report earnings after the market close Wednesday, and traders on prediction market platform Kalshi think the Instagram parent will use its conference call to highlight its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and push into the cloud market, while steering clear of social media policy debates. In a "mentions market" where speculators on Kalshi are asked to place trades on whether specific words will be used during a call or speech for the Meta earnings call, traders place 90% odds that the hyperscaler's management will say the word "cloud." Bloomberg reported earlier this month that Meta was developing a cloud infrastructure business to sell access to raw computing power. Speculators are only a little less certain that Meta on the call will say "Ray-Ban," its smart glass partner, giving it a 74% chance. Last month, Meta debuted a new smart glasses model at a lower price, developed with Ray-Ban parent EssilorLuxottica . Traders are think there'...

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said new U.S. tariffs are functionally the same as the ones the Supreme Court struck down as illegal earlier this year. "It's a shame that I have to go a harder way for the tariffs because the Supreme Court, in a very close decision, you know, ruled against me," Trump said in a Fox News interview. "Now, I have other ways of doing the same thing, but it's a more cumbersome, you know, way of doing it," he said. Trump's comments on tariffs came four days after a federal lawsuit accused his administration of using different statutes as a pretext to resurrect the global tariff regime that failed in the courts. "Changing the statute doesn't change the law and changing the stated rationale doesn't make an unlawful tariff lawful," Sara Albrecht, chairman and CEO of Liberty Justice Center, the legal nonprofit behind the lawsuit, said of Trump's latest remarks. "This statement bolsters our argument,...

ASML 's stock fell Tuesday after a report that China is mass-producing a critical tool that the Dutch tech giant has long held a monopoly over. The decline came amid a steep sell-off in global semiconductor stocks as investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about the sector. ASML was last trading down 1.8%, but the stock is up over 123% this year. Analysts told CNBC that while reports on China entering a market that ASML dominates may raise some concerns, the developments are unlikely to shake the Dutch company's dominance, adding there are some big caveats to the story. "I would take this with a pinch of salt as what [China does] could be limited to the very low end," Stephane Houri, head of equity research at ODDO BHF, told CNBC. The Information on Monday reported that an unnamed Chinese company has begun manufacturing an immersion deep ultraviolet lithography (DUV) machine, citing people familiar with the matter.

Salesforce’s Agentforce Bet Made It the Dow’s Worst Performer. Is the Market Overreacting? Sheryar Siddiq Tue, July 28, 2026 at 4:38 AM EDT 4 min read CRM ^DJI Enterprise AI agents were meant to be the breakout software offering for 2026, yet instead they've become one of the major sources of buyer distrust. According to Anaconda and Forrester research, over 88% of AI agent pilots never reach production, as confirmed by independent polls from a16z and MIT Sloan's CIO panel, while Gartner predicts that more than 40% of agentic AI initiatives will be discontinued entirely by 2027 due to questionable ROI. Salesforce Inc. (NYSE: CRM ) walked into the gap between agent hype and agent reality when it placed its growth narrative on Agentforce, and by 2026, that bet has made Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM) one of the worst-performing components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, down around 31.48% year to date. Enterprise Friction and Credibility Drag The immediate cause appears to be a ...

Image source, Getty Images By Branwen Jeffreys , Education Editor , Nathan Standley , Education reporter and Toby Mann Published 27 July 2026 Updated 17 minutes ago Secondary school pupils in England will be able to study subjects like manufacturing and AI in addition to core academic learning under reforms outlined by Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

The government has described the policy as a "fundamental change to the education system" but few details behind the broad political vision have been published so far.
