Futures at a Glance📈

Futures are wobbling after Wall Street’s worst day in a month, with the big AI crowd (Nvidia, AMD, and the mega-cap crew) taking another punch. Doubts about sky-high AI spending, fewer Fed-cut hopes for December, and the weird “maybe we never see that missing data” twist after the shutdown have traders in risk-off mode.

Nu Bank Keeps Leveling Up While The Market Plays Hard To Get

Nu Holdings Ltd (NYSE: NU) is acting like that overachiever friend who crushes their exams and still gets the could do even better note. The digital bank just dropped another strong quarter, kept loan quality in line, and got a fresh thumbs-up from Morgan Stanley, which still thinks the stock has room to run from here.

Growth, profits, and new products are all moving in the right direction, even if the stock doesn’t always celebrate on cue. The real story is that Nu keeps adding more customers and finding ways to make a little more from each one without blowing up credit risk.

That’s hard to do in any market, let alone across Latin America, where politics and regulation love a good plot twist. The market’s hesitation says impressive, but don’t trip, not “we’re done here”.

You don’t have to fall in love with every dip or headline, but this isn’t some meme coin with a banking app. It’s starting to look more like a real franchise that just happens to dress like a startup.

My Take For You: If you’re new, think starter position, then add only if the next couple of quarters show the same combo of growth and clean credit. If you’re already in, you can afford to sit tight and maybe trim on big spikes.

My Verdict: Long-term growth story with real momentum. Worth a spot on the core-growth watch-list, sized modestly so the inevitable Latin America drama doesn’t shake you out.

Under Armour Loses Its Curry Sauce At The Worst Time

Under Armour just broke up with Stephen Curry, which in sneaker land is like a rom-com where the most famous character suddenly walks off set. Curry keeps his brand and can now shop it to someone else, while UA says it wants to focus on core, which is corporate speak for we have to fix the house before we throw more parties.

The problem is timing. The company’s already in a turnaround, sales have been dragging, and the sneaker world is crowded with hungry upstarts and grumpy giants.

Losing your biggest star while you’re still trying to explain what the brand stands for in 2025 doesn’t exactly scream easy comeback. The stock has been acting like it’s running wind sprints with a weighted vest on.

That said, a messy reset can create opportunity if you believe UA can slim down, re-focus, and rebuild around performance gear instead of just chasing hype drops and buzzy collabs. But you’ll need patience and a strong stomach for marketing experiments.

My Take For You: If you’re not in, you don’t need to rush, wait to see if the new strategy shows up in real sales. If you’re already holding, consider keeping it small and using bounces to trim rather than doubling down on hope.

My Verdict: Turnaround with training wheels. Interesting only for investors who like underdog stories and are okay with a long, sweaty rebuild.

Live Events

StubHub’s Price Target Shrinks, But The Party Isn’t Over Yet

StubHub just got a tiny haircut on its analyst price target, but from where the stock actually trades, Wall Street is still basically yelling, “Hey, this could be worth a lot more.”

The business of helping you overpay (lovingly) for concert and game tickets is still humming, with solid revenue growth and plenty of people choosing experiences over yet another streaming subscription.

The catch is the stock’s movement versus the spreadsheet. The first earnings report as a public company came with good top-line growth but some softer profit numbers, and the market hates anything that looks even slightly not perfect in a new IPO.

Toss in noise around ticket fees and regulation, and you get a name that trades more like a moody teenager than a boring platform.

Underneath the drama, though, a high-margin marketplace with loyal users and steady demand for live events is not the worst place to be. You just have to accept that every new headline about pricing rules or consumer protection can shake the tree.

My Take For You: If you’re curious, treat it like a high-energy show: buy a small ticket, not the whole front row, and look to add only if execution stays solid into the next earnings. If you already own it, consider taking some profits on strength.

My Verdict: Volatile but interesting growth story. Good for a small, speculative slot if you believe people will keep paying up to be in the building instead of watching from the couch.

Movers and Shakers

Cidara Therapeutics [CDTX]: Premarket Move: +92%

Buyout buzz has this small biotech trading like it just got a text from Merck saying “u up?” Reports say a deal could land as soon as Friday with a price tag above today’s value, so every headline feels like a countdown to either champagne or sad trombone.

These moves are pure rumor rocket fuel, great when the deal hits, brutal if it leaks away or terms disappoint.

My Take: Treat it like a scratch-off ticket, not a retirement plan. Tiny size only, be ready to hit sell fast if the official news doesn’t live up to the hype.

Applied Digital [APLD]: Premarket Move: −7%

After a monster run, this AI data-center builder just told the market it’s taking on $2.35 billion in new notes, and investors are doing the math on cool new buildings vs. oof, that’s a lot of interest.

The story is still all about building massive AI factories, but now with a bigger monthly bill attached.

My Take: If you’re already riding this one, consider tightening stops or trimming. If you’re new, let the dust settle and see how the market digests the debt before you jump into the hype train.

D-Wave Quantum [QBTS]: Premarket Move: −6%

This quantum-computing name just reminded everyone that when the CEO cashes out millions in stock right after good results, people get jumpy.

With a chart that’s already had a wild year, insider selling is like yelling fire in a crowded theater.

My Take: Super-volatile, so it’s trade-only territory. If you must play, keep it tiny, don’t average down, and be ruthless about cutting it if the selling pressure sticks around. Big insider sales like this are not a good sign.
