📈 Morning Gains: Top Stocks in Focus

You are receiving this newsletter as a subscriber to Premium Stock Alerts

Good Morning, Traders!…👋

U.S. stock futures surged Wednesday after President Trump stated that he has "no intention" of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, easing concerns on Wall Street regarding the central bank's independence.

On tariffs, Trump remarked that he expects them to decrease "substantially," with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calling them "unsustainable." Vice President JD Vance also noted progress in talks with India.

Tesla $TSLA ( ▲ 3.5% )  saw a boost in stock prices after releasing quarterly earnings post-Tuesday's market close. Although the EV maker missed Wall Street's estimates, shares rallied as CEO Elon Musk announced he would "significantly" reduce his time spent on DOGE.

Other notable market movements on Wednesday included Bitcoin (BTC-USD), which continued its gains after Trump's comments, and Nvidia (NVDA), which rose more than 4%.

Earnings Watch

Earnings roll out today from Boeing $BA ( ▲ 2.26% )  , AT&T $T ( ▲ 1.25% )  , and Thermo Fisher $TMO ( ▼ 1.15% )  before open, plus IBM $IBM ( ▼ 6.58% )  , ServiceNow $NOW ( ▲ 15.49% )  , and Chipotle $CMG ( ▲ 1.6% )  after close.

Analysts expect Boeing to post $1.12 EPS with aerospace strength, AT&T to hit $0.55 EPS, Thermo Fisher at $5.29 EPS, IBM to deliver $2.22 EPS with AI gains, ServiceNow at $3.45 EPS, and Chipotle at $0.65 EPS.

Major Market Shift - Act Now Before it's Too Late

1983 - Motorola released the first commercial phone.

1992 =- Nokia turned phones into personal devices.

And when Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, the industry changed forever. But that was 17 years ago...

Another paradigm shift is happening now, and Mode Mobile is leading the charge with 32,581% revenue growth. Their EarnPhone is the only smartphone that pays users for activities like playing games, listening to music and even charging their phone.

But their current share price of $0.26/share is moving in under two weeks.

⚠ Last Chance - Invest in their EarnPhone before price changes on May 1st.
