We’ve got a bookings beat that came with margin pressure, an ad platform flexing new AI muscle, and a jetmaker rumor that could move the tape fast. We’ll show what to buy, what to wait on, and what to treat as headline-only.

AI is now the attack surface.
A small public security firm claims it can secure sensitive data at the source, before it enters machine learning, so models train on protected data by default.

Futures at a Glance📈
Futures are trying to bounce after Thursday’s tech-led faceplant, but they’re still cautious. A big post-earnings drop in mega-cap tech is keeping traders defensive, even as a few names are popping on upbeat results. Next week’s delayed jobs report is also looming, with crypto and metals weakness still flashing risk-off.

Roblox Prints Big Bookings, But The Real Game Is The Next Level
Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX) just dropped a forecast that made the stock jump like it hit a trampoline. Bookings outlook came in strong, basically telling the market that the kids are still playing and the parents are still paying.
But here is the twist. Roblox is also saying margins will not really grow this year because it is spending more on safety, infrastructure, and paying creators. Translation: the party is busy, but the host is reinvesting in better speakers and more security guards.
They also hinted they will stop giving full-year forecasts after 2026, because viral hits are hard to predict. Fair. The whole platform runs on surprise smashes. The play for you is to avoid chasing the first spike and instead watch if daily users and bookings keep climbing even with tighter age verification.
My Take For You: If you want in, start small on a dip and add only if momentum stays sticky.
My Verdict: Strong story, but price action can get jumpy. Treat it like a growth ride, not a savings account.
Digital Advertising
Reddit Inc (NYSE: RDDT) Turns The Comment Section Into A Cash Register
Reddit Inc (NYSE: RDDT) just put up a forecast that says ad demand is still alive, even after the market has been acting like software is getting replaced by a single prompt. Revenue jumped, guidance came in hot, and the stock popped after hours.
The fun part is how Reddit is selling ads. It is not trying to be a glossy billboard. It is dropping ads right inside the conversations where people are already obsessing over sneakers, skincare, stocks, and everything else. That is catnip for marketers who want niche crowds that actually care.
The other tailwind is its AI tools for advertisers, which makes it easier to build campaigns that fit the vibe. The company even added a buyback, which is basically management saying we like our own stock too. Your move is simple: do not chase a gap. Let it cool, then look for follow-through in active advertisers and user growth.
My Take For You: Starter buy only after it settles, add if the next update confirms momentum.
My Verdict: High upside, high mood swings. Worth watching closely if you can handle volatility.
Annuities (Sponsored)
Market swings, rising costs, and unpredictable returns can leave many people unsure how stable their future income may be.
Annuities could help reduce that uncertainty by offering options designed to create steadier long-term protection.
Fixed annuities may provide dependable interest, indexed annuities could offer growth tied to market performance with built-in limits, and MYGAs can lock in multi-year rates that may help shield you from volatility.
Our updated guide breaks down how each type works and how they could help protect your financial future.
Reviewing the choices now may help you avoid gaps later when steady income matters most.

Boeing Might Land A Jumbo Order, But The Fine Print Still Flies The Plane
Boeing Co (NYSE: BA) is back in the spotlight after reports that India is ready to buy a mountain of planes as part of a broader trade push. On paper, it is the kind of headline that makes investors reach for the boarding pass and start dreaming about a smooth climb.
But Boeing Co (NYSE: BA) is not a simple headline stock right now. Any mega order still lives in the world of timelines, approvals, pricing, and politics. It is like saying you are ready to buy a house, then remembering you still need the inspection, the mortgage, and a seller who does not change their mind.
The opportunity is real. India’s air travel growth is a long runway, and big fleet plans can turn into years of deliveries and services revenue. The risk is also real. This company still has trust to rebuild, and every safety or production hiccup can hit the stock like unexpected turbulence. The move is patience: wait for confirmation and clearer terms before you chase.
My Take For You: If you buy, do it on weakness and keep the position modest until details firm up.
My Verdict: Good potential catalyst, but still a headline-sensitive rebuild. Watch-list first, trade second.
Poll: Which is the most tempting status purchase?
Movers and Shakers
Amazon.com Inc. [AMZN]: Premarket Move: −8%
Amazon just told Wall Street it’s cranking capex way up for AI, and the market basically said cool story, show me the payoff. The quarter mattered less than the size of the spending bill, so the stock took the hit.
This can stay bouncy until investors feel better about returns and timing.
My Take: Don’t catch the falling knife. Let it stabilize, then consider a small starter only after it stops making new lows.
Encompass Health Corp [EHC]: Premarket Move: +15%
A clean earnings beat plus upbeat guidance is the market’s favorite combo meal, and this one came with extra fries. Investors are rewarding steady demand and solid execution while everything else argues about AI.
After a jump like this, chasing usually ends in regret.
My Take: If you missed it, wait for a pullback. If you own it, skim a little into strength and let the rest ride.
BILL Holdings Inc. [BILL]: Premarket Move: +12%
BILL surprised the room with a strong quarter and better guidance, which is basically the software version of showing up on time and not breaking anything. After a brutal year, traders love proof of life.
Still, these pops can fade fast if the market mood turns.
My Take: Starter position only. Add if it holds gains for a few days, bail quickly if it gives the move back.
