Nvidia continues to solidify its dominance in the AI hardware and software stack by securing the fast-growing startup Modal for new central processors and launching Nemotron 3.5 open-weight models for edge computing. These developments, alongside partnerships with Siemens and Santander, demonstrate the deepening integration of Nvidia's technology into enterprise and financial sectors. The market views this as a bullish signal for Nvidia's long-term revenue visibility despite broader tech volatility. Ahead of the critical Meta and Tesla earnings reports, institutional investors are deploying significant capital via dark pools, with $100M+ orders detected in SPY and GOOG, signaling hedging or accumulation strategies. Concurrently, Morgan Stanley upgraded Amazon to a top pick based on AWS strength, and Piper Sandler upgraded Datadog, indicating a preference for cloud infrastructure and software over pure hardware plays. This positioning suggests traders are preparing for a bifurcation in tech performance based on AI monetization metrics. Micron and SanDisk stocks are rallying, with SanDisk jumping over 7% and Micron gaining 5%, as investors buy the dip in memory shares. The recovery is underpinned by the anticipated AI storage boom, with options flow indicating bullish positioning in Western Digital ahead of its earnings. This sector is benefiting from the broader AI infrastructure build-out, offering a counter-narrative to the broader market's energy-driven weakness.
