Stocks are seeing support again today as reports circulate that a preliminary US-Iran peace agreement could be signed as early as this weekend, ending the military hostilities, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending the US blockade on Iran and its oil exports.  Negotiations would then begin on the more intractable issues, such as sanctions against Iran, the release of $24 billion of frozen Iranian assets, and the resolution of Iranian nuclear issues.  Iran claimed it would continue to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz even after a new ceasefire agreement.Join 200K+ Subscribers: Find out why the midday Barchart Brief newsletter is a must-read for thousands daily.

Stocks surged on Thursday after President Trump said he canceled planned military strikes against Iran, citing "discussions" with Iranian leadership.  He added that a "time and place of the signing" of a negotiated end to the war would "be announced shortly," and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized."

WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are down more than -1% today on hopes for a near-term US-Iran agreement and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Tech stocks are being undercut today by weakness in chip and software stocks.

In some positive news for stocks, the University of Michigan’s US Consumer Sentiment index rose +4.1 to 48.9, which was stronger than expectations for a rise to 46.0.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) today are down -8 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield is up +3.2 bp at 4.493%.  T-notes are seeing weakness today as the 10-year inflation expectations rate is up +0.7 bp at 2.313%, despite today’s drop in oil prices.  The T-note market remains worried about inflation pressures, which are likely to remain sticky even after the Strait of Hormuz reopens.  The T-note market has some carry-over weakness from Thursday, when demand was lackluster for the Treasury’s 30-year bond auction.

Chip stocks are trading mostly lower today after Thursday’s sharp rally, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) trading slightly lower after Thursday’s rally of +8.39%.  Thursday’s rally was sparked by signs that AI spending is continuing after Oracle reported quarterly capital expenditures that were higher than expected, driven by increased data center spending.  Chip leaders today include AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC), with gains of more than +3%.

Adobe (ADBE) is down more than -8% after CFO Dan Durn said he would leave the company on June 15, following news earlier this year that Adobe’s CEO would resign.  The Adobe news put continued downward pressure on software stocks, which were undercut on Thursday by negative earnings news from Oracle (ORCL).  ServiceNow (NOW), Atlassian (TEAM), and Workday (WDAY) are all trading down by more than -3%.

Airline stocks are seeing continued support after oil prices today moved lower, adding to Thursday’s decline.  United Airlines (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are trading up more than +0.5%.

Astera Labs (ALAB), CoreWeave (CRWV), Nebius Group (NBIS), Rocket Lab (RKLB), and Teradyn (TER) are seeing support today after Nasdaq announced on Thursday that those stocks will join the Nasdaq 100 Index, effective at the market open on June 22.  Stocks leaving the Nasdaq 100 include Charter Communications (CHTR), Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), Insmed (INSM), Verisk Analytics (VRSK), and Zscaler (ZS).

Travelers (TRV) is down more than -1% after Barclays cut its rating on the stock to underweight from equal-weight due to a downbeat outlook for profits in the property and casualty sector.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB), CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), and Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) are joining the Nasdaq-100 on June 22, knocking out Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH), Insmed (NASDAQ:INSM), Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK), and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) in the quarterly rebalance. Rocket Lab jumped 6.54% in premarket, Nebius gained 4.44%, CoreWeave added 3.30%, and Astera Labs rose 3.14%.

The five additions reflect the index's growing tilt toward AI infrastructure and space technology. CoreWeave and Nebius are both AI cloud providers, while Astera Labs designs high-speed connectivity chips for AI data centers. Rocket Lab has emerged as a leading small satellite launch provider. The inclusions follow Marvell Technology's addition to the S&P 500, also effective June 22, as benchmark rebalances increasingly favor AI-linked names.

SpaceX, set to begin trading Friday under SPCX, could eventually land in the index too once it clears eligibility requirements. The June 22 rebalance also coincides with Marvell Technology joining the S&P 500 on the same date.

Nasdaq (NDAQ) said it will add CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB) and Teradyne (TER) to the Nasdaq-100 index, a move that is likely to prompt fresh buying from index-tracking funds, according to a Wednesday exchange notice.

The changes will take effect before the market opens on June 22 as part of Nasdaq's quarterly rebalance. The index, which holds 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange, is reviewed regularly to keep its membership in line with eligibility rules.

Shares of CoreWeave, Nebius, Rocket Lab, Astera Labs and Teradyne jumped in after-hours trading after the news. CoreWeave edged higher 4%, while Nebius climbed about 5%, Rocket Lab rose nearly 9%, Astera Labs surged more than 11% and Teradyne added about 10%.

Companies leaving the Nasdaq-100 are Charter Communications, Cognizant Technology, Insmed, Verisk Analytics and Zscaler. Being added to the Nasdaq-100 can lift trading volume because funds and ETFs that track Nasdaq (NDAQ) often adjust holdings to match the new lineup.

1 of Wall Street's Favorite Stocks with Solid Fundamentals and 2 Facing Challenges

Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it's worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where Wall Street's excitement appears well-founded and two where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Charter (CHTR)

Consensus Price Target: $243.69 (75.5% implied return)

Operating as Spectrum, Charter (NASDAQ:CHTR) is a leading telecommunications company offering cable television, high-speed internet, and voice services across the United States.

Why Should You Dump CHTR?

Number of internet subscribers has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital Unchanged returns on capital make it difficult for the company's valuation multiple to re-rate

At $138.88 per share, Charter trades at 0.3x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with CHTR, check out our full research report (it's free).

TETRA Technologies (TTI)

Consensus Price Target: $12.50 (18.7% implied return)

Operating across six continents with approximately 40,000 acres of mineral-rich brine leases in Arkansas, TETRA Technologies (NYSE:TTI) provides well completion fluids and water management services to oil and gas operators.

Why Do We Steer Clear of TTI?

Sales tumbled by 4.7% annually over the last ten years, showing market trends are working against it during this cycle Subscale operations are evident in its revenue base of $630 million, meaning it has fewer distribution channels than its larger rivals Costly operations and weak unit economics result in an inferior gross margin of 29.1% that must be offset through higher production volumes

TETRA Technologies's stock price of $10.53 implies a valuation ratio of 37.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TTI doesn't pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

Brinker International (EAT)

Consensus Price Target: $184.90 (16.4% implied return)

Founded by Norman Brinker in Dallas, Brinker International (NYSE:EAT) is a casual restaurant chain that operates the Chili's, Maggiano's Little Italy, and It's Just Wings banners.

Story Continues

Why Are We Positive on EAT?

Average same-store sales growth of 15.5% over the past two years indicates its restaurants are resonating with diners Economies of scale give it more fixed cost leverage than its smaller competitors Stellar returns on capital showcase management's ability to surface highly profitable business ventures, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities

Brinker International is trading at $158.79 per share, or 12.4x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it's free.

Nasdaq's latest reshuffle of the Nasdaq-100 (NDX [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NDX]) appears to favor some of the market's strongest performers, with the five incoming companies significantly outperforming the five names set to leave the index.

Among the additions, Nebius Group (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) leads with a 165.5% gain year-to-date, followed by Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]) at 120.9%, Teradyne (TER [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TER]) at 97.0%, Rocket Lab (RKLB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RKLB]) at 64.5%, and CoreWeave (CRWV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CRWV]) at 33.7%.

By contrast, Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is down 44.4%, Zscaler (ZS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZS]) has fallen 43.9%, Cognizant (CTSH [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTSH]) is lower by 38.3%, Charter Communications (CHTR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CHTR]) has declined 33.4%, and Verisk Analytics (VRSK [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/VRSK]) is down 18.6%.

The rebalance also highlights a notable split between Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings and analyst sentiment. As per the Quant model, Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) is the only Strong Buy-rated stock among the 10 additions and deletions, while Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is the lone Sell-rated name. However, Wall Street analysts remain overwhelmingly positive on Insmed, with both Seeking Alpha analysts and Wall Street assigning Strong Buy ratings. More broadly, Wall Street maintains Buy ratings on eight of the 10 companies, compared with just one Strong Buy and eight Holds from the Quant system.

NASDAQ-100 ADDITIONS:

* Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]): Quant - Strong Buy | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +165.5%
* Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +120.9%

* CoreWeave (CRWV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CRWV]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +33.7%

NASDAQ-100 DELETIONS:

* Zscaler (ZS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZS]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -43.9%
* Cognizant (CTSH [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTSH]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -38.3%
* Charter Communications (CHTR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CHTR]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Hold | YTD -33.4%
* Verisk Analytics (VRSK [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/VRSK]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -18.6%
* Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]): Quant - Sell | Wall Street - Strong Buy | YTD -44.4%

The latest rebalance highlights Nasdaq's increasing exposure to AI, semiconductor, cloud infrastructure, and space-related themes, while removing several stocks that have lagged both the broader market and the index's newest entrants in 2026.

As the Q1 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter’s best and worst performers in the consumer discretionary - wireless, cable and satellite industry, including Cable One (NYSE:CABO) and its peers.

The Consumer Discretionary sector, by definition, is made up of companies selling non-essential goods and services. When economic conditions deteriorate or tastes shift, consumers can easily cut back or eliminate these purchases. For long-term investors with five-year holding periods, this creates a structural challenge: the sector is inherently hit-driven, with low switching costs and fickle customers. As a result, only a handful of companies can reliably grow demand and compound earnings over long periods, which is why our bar is high and High Quality ratings are rare. Wireless, cable, and satellite companies provide pay-TV, broadband internet, and mobile connectivity through large fixed-infrastructure networks. Tailwinds include growing bandwidth consumption, bundling opportunities across video, internet, and wireless services, and rural broadband subsidies from government programs. However, headwinds are pronounced: cord-cutting continues to erode traditional video subscriber bases, capital expenditure requirements for network upgrades (such as fiber overbuilds and 5G rollouts) are substantial, and aggressive promotional pricing among competitors compresses margins. Regulatory oversight on pricing and net neutrality adds uncertainty, while streaming platforms increasingly bypass traditional distributors, reducing the value of the legacy pay-TV bundle.

The 7 consumer discretionary - wireless, cable and satellite stocks we track reported a mixed Q1. As a group, revenues were in line with analysts’ consensus estimates.

Amidst this news, share prices of the companies have had a rough stretch. On average, they are down 19.3% since the latest earnings results.

Market Update

Late in 2025 into early 2026, there was hand-wringing around artificial intelligence. For software companies, the fear was that AI would erode pricing power and compress margins as new tools made it easier to replicate what once required expensive enterprise platforms. Crypto investors had their own version of the same anxiety: if AI agents could trade, allocate capital, and manage wallets autonomously, what exactly was the long-term value of today’s crypto infrastructure?

These concerns triggered a noticeable rotation away from these sectors and into safer havens. But markets rarely dwell on one narrative for long. Spring 2026 came, and the focus shifted abruptly from technological disruption to geopolitical risk. The US’ conflict with Iran became the dominant driver of market psychology, and when geopolitics takes center stage, the script changes quickly. Investors stop debating growth rates and start worrying about oil supply, inflation, and global stability.

Key Considerations

📊 The appointment of Chris Hacker focuses on operational resilience, which sits behind service reliability and reputational strength rather than near term earnings. 📊 Watch for any disclosures on security incidents, outage response metrics, or compliance milestones that might show how his background is being applied. ⚠️ Interest payments are not well covered by earnings, so any large security or infrastructure investments need to be weighed against existing debt obligations.
