Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) shares are trading lower by 1.27% to $210.23 during Thursday’s session due to a confluence of factors, including Nvidia’s strong earnings and its own advancements in AI infrastructure.

What To Know: Nvidia’s record-breaking fourth-quarter results highlight surging demand for AI compute, with its data center revenue jumping 93% year-over-year. This signals a broader trend: hyperscalers and enterprises are aggressively expanding AI infrastructure, which directly benefits Broadcom.

Broadcom plays a crucial role in AI infrastructure through its PCIe Gen 6 portfolio, which ensures high-speed connectivity between AI accelerators, CPUs and memory.

The company’s newly announced partnership with Micron to enhance AI system interoperability further strengthens its positioning. As AI workloads scale, efficient data transfer becomes critical, and Broadcom’s PCIe technology is essential in reducing bottlenecks.

What Else: Additionally, Broadcom’s dominance in custom ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) offers an alternative to Nvidia’s GPUs for certain AI acceleration tasks. Analyst projections suggest ASICs could capture 10%-15% of the accelerator market, signaling growing demand.

With Nvidia’s guidance projecting continued AI growth and Broadcom’s technology serving as a backbone for AI infrastructure, investors see Broadcom as a key beneficiary.

How To Buy AVGO Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Broadcom’s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, AVGO has a 52-week high of $251.88 and a 52-week low of $119.76.

Restaurant giant McDonald’s Corp (NYSE:MCD) is celebrating 50 years of breakfast with specials and promotions that brush off the egg surcharges other restaurant chains have added with the breakfast commodity hitting record highs.

What Happened: While restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s Corporation (NASDAQ:DENN) are adding egg surcharges to pass the rising costs of eggs back to consumers, McDonald’s is offering some relief for its customers.

The company announced its celebration of 50 years of the Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich with special deals and increased breakfast options.

McDonald’s launched the Egg McMuffin nationwide in 1975 and will celebrate the 50^th anniversary with National Egg McMuffin Day on March 2. On that day, McDonald’s app users can get an Egg McMuffin or Sausage McMuffin with Egg breakfast sandwich for $1.

“50 years later, it’s still the GOAT. In honor of this golden anniversary, the Golden Arches are doubling down on breakfast – offering fans even more reasons to wake up with McDonald’s and save on their favorites,” the restaurant company said.

Another promotion running March 3 through March 30 offers buy one get one free on Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwiches using McDelivery through the McDonald’s app.

The restaurant company also announced its bagel sandwiches are now available nationwide, including options like the Bacon, Egg & Cheese and the Steak, Egg & Cheese. McDonald’s is also expanding its partnership with Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:DNUT) to offer donuts in New York, its latest expansion. By the end of 2025, over half of the U.S. McDonald’s locations are expected to have Krispy Kreme donuts.

“At McDonald’s, breakfast isn’t just a meal; it’s a cherished tradition and cornerstone of our brand,” McDonald’s USA president Joe Erlinger said. “Every morning when we open our doors, we are a breakfast restaurant.”

Erlinger added that McDonald’s customers can count on the company’s “one-of-a-kind breakfast experience, anchored in great value and high-quality ingredients.”

Why It’s Important: Waffle House recently announced a 50 cent surcharge on eggs due to the record highs. Denny’s followed with a plan to add a temporary surcharge on eggs based on individual markets.

McDonald’s North American chief impact officer Michael Gonda took a shot at the other restaurants in a post celebrating McDonald’s new breakfast promotions.

“While many in the U.S. are talking about [eggs], we’ve had something in the works for a while and the timing couldn’t be better (important side note: unlike others making news recently, you definitely WON’T see McDonald’s USA issuing surcharge on eggs, which are 100% cage-free and sourced in the U.S.),” Gonda said.

The timing of McDonald’s breakfast themed promotions could be a catalyst to watch for investors after the company’s fourth-quarter financial results missed estimates.

The company reported a 0.3% year-over-year sales decline in the fourth quarter with U.S. comparable sales down 1.4% year-over-year.

McDonald’s is seeing increased user counts for its app and the breakfast promotions could add to that total, giving the restaurant giant another way to market its products and promotions to a large user base.

“We’re playing to win, focusing on our customers with outstanding value, exciting menu innovation and culturally relevant marketing,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said during the third-quarter financial results.

MCD Price Action: McDonald’s stock is down 1% to $307.73 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $243.53 to $317.90. McDonald’s stock is up 4% over the last year.

Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.

Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.

We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)

SPY is currently trading around our key level of 596.57. Bulls need to maintain support above this level to drive the price higher toward 598.04. If buyers sustain momentum above 598.04, we anticipate a move toward 599.24, which should act as an area of strong support. Continued buying pressure could propel SPY toward 600.51, with the potential for an extended rally to our high bull target of 601.22.

Should 596.57 fail to hold as support, sellers are likely to push SPY down to 595.14. A breakdown of this level could invite further downside action, with 593.73 as the next key area of interest. If selling intensifies and 593.73 is breached, we expect a test of solid support at 592.00. In an aggressive sell-off scenario, SPY could reach our low bear target of 589.71.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

QQQ is trading around our pivotal level of 517.97. Bulls need to establish control above 518.65 to gain momentum, with the next upside level at 519.87 acting as a potential springboard for higher prices. If buyers sustain pressure, we could see a push toward 521.15. A strong bullish session would likely bring 522.57 into play, with our high bull target set at 523.91.

Failure to maintain support above 517.97 opens the door for a move lower to 516.58. If weakness persists, sellers could drive QQQ toward 515.00, which serves as a key support zone. A breakdown below this level could accelerate selling pressure, leading to a test of 513.64. If bearish momentum is strong, we anticipate a move down to our low bear target of 511.53.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is currently trading near 245.58, a critical level to hold for buyers. If bulls defend this area, we could see an initial push to 246.72. A sustained rally above this level may lead to a move toward 248.12, where bulls will aim to establish strong support. Should the uptrend remain intact, AAPL has the potential to reach our high bull target of 249.04.

If 245.58 fails as support, sellers are likely to test 244.45 to the downside. A break below this level could trigger further selling pressure, bringing 243.57 into play. If the downtrend continues, Apple could test 242.83 as another key area of support. A sharp sell-off may see the price reach our low bear target of 242.21.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is currently trading around 400.30, with bulls needing to maintain this level for further upside potential. If buyers take control, we expect a move toward 401.39, where holding above this level would strengthen the case for a rally to 402.74. If demand persists, the price could climb toward our high bull target of 404.92.

If 400.30 does not hold as support, bears will look to test 399.21. A breakdown here could push the price lower to 398.38, potentially leading to increased selling pressure. If sellers remain aggressive, we anticipate a move toward 397.65. Should downside momentum continue, Microsoft could reach our low bear target of 395.68.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is currently trading around 129.53. Bulls need to sustain momentum above this level to target 131.42 as the next key resistance. If buyers maintain control, we could see a push to 132.19, with the potential for an extended rally to 133.31. A strong bullish session may allow NVDA to reach our high bull target of 134.56.

If 129.53 fails to hold as support, bears will look to push the price lower to 128.10. Breaking this level could see NVDA testing 126.84 as another key downside level. Further weakness in the auction may lead to a move toward 125.21. If selling pressure remains strong, the stock could fall to our low bear target of 123.41.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)

Alphabet is currently trading near 177.28, with bulls needing to maintain this level to sustain upward momentum. If buyers step in, we expect a push toward 179.15. A breakout above this level could lead to further upside, with a potential move toward our high bull target of 180.46.

If 177.28 fails to act as support, bears will look to drive the price lower to 176.23. If this level is lost, we anticipate a test of 175.12. Continued bearish action could send the stock further down to our low bear target of 174.01.

Meta Platforms Inc (META)

Meta is currently auctioning near 663.33, an important level for bulls to defend. If buyers can keep the price above this level, we anticipate a move to 667.99. Continued strength in the auction could push META to 671.80, with potential upside extending to our high bull target of 676.46.

Should 663.33 fail to hold as support, we expect bears to take control and drive the price lower to 658.86. A breakdown below this level could open the door to further downside, testing 655.54. If selling pressure remains dominant, META could trade down to our low bear target of 650.56.

Tesla Inc. (TSLA)

Tesla is currently trading around 310.17, with bulls needing to sustain momentum above this level for further upside. If buyers step in, we expect a move toward 312.42. A breakout above this level could set the stage for a rally to 315.93. If bullish momentum remains strong, Tesla may test our high bull target of 327.59.

If 310.17 is lost as support, bears will likely push the price lower to 304.24. A breakdown here could bring 300.56 into play as a critical support level. If selling intensifies, we anticipate further downside movement toward our low bear target of 298.28.

Final Word:

Today’s market session lacks major economic catalysts, leaving technical levels and overall market sentiment as the key driving forces. The most notable data release comes at 10 AM ET with January’s New Home Sales report. Additionally, at 11:30 AM ET, the Treasury will conduct a 2-year FRN auction, followed by a 7-year FRN auction at 1 PM ET. These events could introduce some volatility in the bond market, but overall, traders should focus on price action and key levels.

One of the most significant market events today will be NVIDIA’s earnings report after the close, which has the potential to drive major movement in the semiconductor sector and broader market sentiment. Given the market’s heavy reliance on tech stocks, particularly NVDA, any surprises in their report could lead to increased volatility. Stay disciplined, manage risk effectively, and be prepared for potential market reactions after-hours. Trade smart!

Cloud software company Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) could highlight its growth in AI and recent partnerships when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results after market close Wednesday.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Salesforce to report fourth-quarter revenue of $10.04 billion. That’s up from $9.29 billion in last year’s fourth quarter according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Salesforce has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.61, up from $2.29 in last year’s fourth quarter. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in the third quarter, but has beaten estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters.

Several of the figures reported by the company could be records if analyst estimates are met.

Guidance from Salesforce calls for fourth-quarter revenue to be in a range of $9.9 billion to $10.1 billion. The company expects fourth-quarter earnings per share will come in a range of $2.57 to $2.62.

What Analysts Are Saying: Analysts have been mixed on Salesforce stock heading into the earnings print.

JPMorgan analysts highlighted Salesforce as a potential winner in the AI ripple effect created by DeepSeek’s entry in the AI space.

The analysts said companies like Salesforce that enable seamless AI adoption could see an acceleration in demand. Rival companies that are reliant on legacy infrastructure could be hurt by the presence of DeepSeek, the analysts said.

Here are recent analyst ratings on Salesforce and their price targets:

• Citigroup: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $390 to $350
• BMO Capital: Maintained Outperform rating, lowered price target from $425 to $375
• Loop Capital: Maintained Hold rating, lowered price target from $360 to $330
• Needham: Reiterated Buy rating, with $400 price target
• TD Cowen: Upgraded stock from Hold to Buy, raised price target from $380 to $400

Key Items to Watch: The financial results from Salesforce come after several recent business announcements. Salesforce announced it is expanding its strategic partnership with Google to offer greater flexibility to businesses in selecting AI models and deploying AI-driven agents.

Through the partnership, Salesforce customers can build Agentforce agents using Google’s Gemini and deploy Salesforce on Google Cloud.

Salesforce also recently announced its plan to invest $500 million in Saudi Arabia to boost its artificial intelligence deployment. The company will roll out Hyperforce in Saudi Arabia through an alliance with Amazon Web Services.

Salesforce is setting up a regional headquarters in Riyadh as part of its plan to expand its AI footprint around the world.

The company is ramping up hiring for AI sales roles as the sector becomes a larger driver for growth.

Analysts and investors will be looking for more commentary on the company’s Agentforce, which got plenty of love from CEO Marc Benioff in the third-quarter results commentary.

“With Agentforce, we’re not just witnessing the future — we’re leading it, unleashing a new era of digital labor for every business and every industry,” Benioff said.

Investors and analysts will also be looking forward to guidance for the next fiscal year.

Price Action: Salesforce stock is down 0.7% to $306.00 Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $212.00 to $369.00. Salesforce stock is down 7.5% year-to-date in 2025.

Semiconductor giant Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is likely to report record financial results and highlight strong demand from technology companies when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results after market close Wednesday.

Nvidia Earnings Estimates

Analysts expect Nvidia to report fourth-quarter revenue of $38.05 billion. That’s up from $22.1 billion in last year’s fourth quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in nine straight quarters.

Analysts expect the company to report earnings of 84 cents per share for the fourth quarter — up from 52 cents per share in last year’s fourth quarter.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight straight quarters.

Revenue and earnings per share from Nvidia could once again be company records and continue the company’s high growth across several business segments.

Guidance from the company given after third-quarter results calls for fourth-quarter revenue to be $37.5 billion plus or minus 2%.

What Analysts Are Saying

Reports of large Capex spending by other technology companies should bode well for Nvidia’s results and guidance, Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar said in a recent investor note.

The analyst reiterated an Overweight rating with a $175 price target.

“We are expecting NVDA to nicely beat January quarter estimates to the tune of $1.8 billion on the top line and revert back to the greater than $2 billion cadence beat that the company had maintained before its transition to Blackwell,” Kumar said.

The analyst said demand for Blackwell is strong and should lead to a beat and raise quarter for Nvidia.

“We continue to believe NVDA is sold out for CY2025 and we see increasing cadence of beats of magnitude as the year progresses.”

Kumar said reports from Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Amazon show that demand for Nvidia products is large and could lead to increased guidance from the company.

“This tells us that interest in AI Capex spend remains robust and that NVDA’s growth story is intact.”

Truist analyst William Stein said Nvidia is the AI leader and the stock in the sector to own. The analyst maintained a Buy rating on Nvidia with a $200 price target.

Stein expects Nvidia to deliver upside to consensus estimates for the fourth-quarter and first quarter guidance.

With Nvidia stock trading at 23x calendar-year 2026 earnings per share, the analyst said Nvidia stock is “quite cheap.”

The analyst’s concerns are Hopper purchases slowing down, production challenges and Deepseek causing a slowdown to capex spending.

Stein said commentary from large technology companies suggest spending on products from Nvidia will be just fine.

“We expect a solid quarter, outlook & commentary,” Stein said.

The analyst also expects Nvidia to discuss emerging AI models, data processing techniques and physical AI for items like robotics.

“We expect this will be a positive catalyst for the stock.”

Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore recently called a pullback in Nvidia stock related to the rise of Chinese AI competitor DeepSeek a buying opportunity.

Moore maintained an Overweight rating on Nvidia with a $152 price target.

The analyst said DeepSeek marks a “strong evolutionary upgrade in the AI space,” but comes in a space where Nvidia continues to improve AI performance and will continue to do so.

Nvidia could have several headwinds from the DeepSeek emergence including further export controls, a different financing environment for AI spenders and investor sentiment on the company turning negative.

“While we have several reasons to believe that large cluster builds will continue, mostly because the architects of those clusters are insisting so loudly every day, the cynicism is overwhelming,” Moore said.

Key Items to Watch: Freedom Capital Markets

Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said there are likely three items investors will be watching for in Nvidia’s quarterly results. Woods said Blackwell chip, DeepSeek questions and guidance top the list of items to watch.

For Blackwell, Woods said analysts expect $38 billion in quarterly revenue and are also looking for guidance on future revenue.

Woods questions if Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will address the concerns from competitor DeepSeek during the earnings commentary and earnings call.

The market strategist said when it comes to Nvidia’s guidance, it will be two-fold.

“First, given the continued capex spending by major customers in Meta, Amazon and Alphabet, can they meet the demand? Secondly, they have a history of upping production for future earnings. Will this trend continue or are there growth concerns given global competition and inflation concerns at home?” Woods asks.

Revenue by segment could be another key area to watch. The data center segment posted a quarterly record for revenue in the third quarter. Data center revenue was up 112% year-over-year. The Gaming & AI PC and Professional Visualization segments had year-over-year growth of 15% and 17% respectively.

The gaming segment got a call-out as having a “great quarter” in the third quarter and seeing strong back-to-school sales. The segment’s holiday sales impact could show through in the fourth-quarter results.

Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 2.7% to $126.81 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $75.61 to $153.13. Nvidia stock is down 8.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 60% in the last year.

On Tuesday, doughnut maker Krispy Kreme Inc. (NASDAQ:DNUT) stock traded lower after it reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.

The company reported a fourth-quarter FY24 sales decline of 10.4% year-on-year to $404 million, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $415.450 million.

Organic revenue grew 1.8% to $400.6 million and was adversely impacted by an estimated 280 basis points of lost revenue linked to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

Also Read: Starbucks Lays Off 1,100 Corporate Employees In Major Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company incurred approximately $3 million of remediation expenses related to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident. 

Global Points of Access increased by 3,410, or 24.1%, to 17,557 in FY24. Revenue in the U.S. segment declined 17.2% Y/Y, the International segment grew 5.7%, and Market Development decreased 14.2%.

The drop in U.S. sales is due to the sale of Insomnia Cookies ($57.4 million impact), a decline in retail sales, and the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

The operating loss widened to $11.5 million from $5.3 million last year. Operating cash flow was $27 million in the fourth quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA plunged 28.4% Y/Y to $45.9 million, and the EBITDA margin contracted 280 basis points to 11.4%. Adjusted EPS of $0.01 missed the consensus estimate of $0.10.

The company held $28.9 million in cash and equivalents as of December end. 

“Last quarter, we announced we were aligning our talent and capital to our business priorities, and we have taken significant action. We have restructured our management teams to maximize profitable U.S. expansion and capital-light international growth,” said CEO Josh Charlesworth.

“We expect to soon award contracts to outsource U.S. logistics. Finally, we have begun a process to evaluate refranchising certain international markets. I believe these changes will drive capital efficient growth, as we continue our transformation into a bigger and better Krispy Kreme.”

Outlook: Krispy Kreme expects FY25 revenue of $1.55 billion—$1.65 billion, versus an estimate of $1.764 billion.

The company sees FY25 adjusted EPS of $0.04 – $0.08, with an estimate of $0.30. Krispy Kreme anticipates FY25 adjusted EBITDA of $180 million—$200 million.

Price Action: At the last check on Tuesday, DNUT shares were trading lower by 23.40% at $6.98.

Fourth-quarter domestic box office was up 26.5% year-over-year to $2.35 billion according to data from BoxOfficeMojo.

The quarter was led by “Wicked.” It also included “Moana 2,” which grossed $404.0 million domestically in the quarter. The fourth quarter had seven movies that made $100 million or more domestically.

AMC previously reported it broke records for its pre-Thanksgiving weekend and for several metrics, including attendance, admission revenue, food and beverage revenue and total revenue in the Thanksgiving (Wednesday through Sunday) weekend.

Those records will likely shine through in the company’s quarterly results and come after the company reported a year-over-year decline in attendance in the third quarter. The third quarter witnessed a company record for food and beverage revenue per patron, which could be closely watched to see if the record is broken once again.

While much of the earnings report and commentary will be on the fourth quarter, the company will also provide a look ahead to the first quarter and 2025. AMC CEO Adam Aron has been extremely bullish on 2025 and 2026 in comments over the years as the movie theater segment continues to recover.

“We believe of much greater importance is our bullishness about the impressive movie slate that is coming to our theaters in November and December of 2024, and continuing in 2025 and again in 2026,” Aron said after third-quarter results.

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs estimated 2025 North American box office will be $9.5 billion and $9.4 billion, respectively, up double digits from 2024.

The first quarter included “Captain America: Brave New World,” which has grossed $141.2 million domestically. The film is one of three Marvel movies coming in 2025.

Commentary on the first quarter and 2025 could ultimately determine which way AMC shares move in the after-hours market Tuesday.

AMC Price Action: AMC stock is down 2.48% to $3.35 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $2.38 to $11.88. AMC stock is down 16.5% year-to-date in 2025 and down 25% over the last year.
