Portfolio Snapshot

Market Overview

Holdings Breakdown

CRDO closed at $223.87, up 5.56% on the session. Today's sharp rebound brings Credo back toward the middle of its 52-week range after a punishing one-month drawdown that erased roughly a quarter of the stock's value, making the session a meaningful, if early, sign of stabilization. Analyst conviction appears to be firming around that thesis: Susquehanna raised its price target to $250 while reiterating a Positive rating, and a Seeking Alpha upgrade to Buy cited AI-driven earnings momentum and optical networking upside as the core bull case following the correction. The stock's strong year-to-date gain and robust three-month trajectory show the longer-term trend remains intact, but the depth of the recent pullback means the burden of proof now rests on whether Credo can sustain follow-through buying rather than merely bouncing. Watch for volume confirmation and any update on hyperscaler customer ramp timing as the next key signal of whether today marks a genuine inflection or just a relief rally.

IONQ closed at $35.51, up 3.71% on the session. Today's bounce offers a moment of relief, but the session lands well within the lower fifth of IonQ's fifty-two-week range, underscoring just how steep and sustained the drawdown has been across the past several months. The one-month decline in particular reflects a sharp repricing of quantum computing enthusiasm, as the sector has faced broader skepticism about commercialization timelines and elevated valuations. With no specific catalyst data available for today's move, the session reads as a technical rebound within a damaged trend rather than a sign of momentum reversal. The valuation remains stretched relative to earnings, leaving any durable recovery dependent on credible contract news or proof-of-revenue milestones that shift the growth narrative.

NOW closed at $102.06, down 2.52% on the session. Tuesday's pullback arrives with earnings squarely in focus, as ServiceNow is set to report second-quarter results Wednesday afternoon, and pre-report jitters appear to be the dominant force behind today's softness. The setup carries real stakes: Jefferies analysts are forecasting results above guidance on key subscription metrics, with a potential full-year outlook increase on the table, which would provide a meaningful catalyst for a stock sitting well off its annual highs. The recent one-month rebound has been one of the stronger moves in the software space, even as the position remains deeply in the red on a year-to-date basis and sits only a fraction of the way through its fifty-two-week range, leaving substantial ground to recover. Analyst conviction has been building ahead of the print, but the technical picture remains mixed, so the report and any forward guidance revision will be the decisive test of whether this recovery has legs beyond the near-term bounce.

Rate Environment

Treasury yields closed Tuesday with the 2-year at 4.18%, the 10-year at 4.55%, and the 30-year at 5.06%, producing a normal curve with the 10Y-2Y spread at +37 basis points. The 2-year yield at 4.18% sits above the Fed Funds rate of 3.63%, suggesting markets are not pricing in aggressive additional easing from here. The current Fed Funds rate of 3.63% reflects prior rate cuts, placing this portfolio in an easing-cycle context where front-end yields remain elevated relative to policy. Corporate spreads remain contained, with AAA paper at 41 basis points over Treasuries and BBB at 97 basis points, indicating limited credit stress in the current environment.

Bottom Line

Equities closed the session with positive momentum, so the posture here is to stay engaged but watch for overnight catalysts that could test today's gains before Wednesday's open.
