HighStrike’s Q2 Thesis
In the whirlwind following the 2024 election, market dynamics have swung dramatically, driven by irrational exuberance and a perception of bullish policies from Trump’s election, leading to unprecedented highs in major indices like ES, NQ, and DJI.
However, by Q1 2025, this bubble began to unravel, with key indices and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin plunging as reality set in amidst tariff threats and disappointing earnings.
The narrative suggests that despite these setbacks, there’s a roadmap to recovery and potential prosperity if liquidity increases and government policies stabilize the market.
Shane Leather, in his invigorating discourse, invites readers to join him in navigating these turbulent times through the research delivered below, culminating in a strategy that aims to outperform in these challenging yet opportunistic conditions.
The Daily Update: Hasbro stock surged 16% after announcing expanded partnership with Disney securing global rights to Star Wars and Marvel franchises; IBM reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings with sales up 1% to $14.5 billion but revealed 15 federal contracts worth $100 million were canceled due to Musk's Department of Government Efficiency cuts, sending shares down premarket; President Trump's more conciliatory stance on China tariffs boosted market confidence; Dell Technologies and KLA Corporation present buying opportunities after 21% and 13% three-month declines respectively; meanwhile, Comcast lost 199,000 broadband subscribers (exceeding analyst expectations of 146,100 losses) and Fiserv missed revenue targets due to payments processing slowdown, causing their stocks to drop over 4% and 14%; Procter & Gamble and Merck both reported mixed results with P&G missing $20.36 billion revenue expectations with $19.8 billion, while Merck beat EPS forecasts despite 2% sales decline.
