The Morning Bull - US Market Morning Update Wednesday, Aug, 5 2026 US market stock futures are pointing slightly higher this morning, with key contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 in positive territory.

At the same time, the 10 year US Treasury yield is near 4.68% as investors factor in a possible interest rate...

Southern Copper stock has delivered a very strong 289.4% return over the past five years, yet current valuation checks suggest the shares are not obviously cheap. Recent gains on the back of stronger copper demand now sit against a low overall value score and an indication that the market price leans expensive on common multiples.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals stock entered this earnings release on weaker footing, down over the past month even after a solid run over the last quarter. After the results, the stock moved about 1.7% higher, a modest reaction to what appears to be a more substantial story in the numbers.

Snap shares jumped about 15% to US$5.79 after the Q2 print, a sharp move for a stock that had been flat over the past week and only modestly higher over the past month. The headline is simple: the market is rewarding Snap for a quarter that put free cash flow and cash generation front and center rather than just user growth and engagement. Q2 revenue came in around US$1.6b, with adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization firmly in the black and free cash flow...

Duke Energy stock barely flinched after earnings, ticking down 0.01% to US$124.27, yet the quarter itself was anything but flat. The company posted Q2 2026 basic earnings per share of US$1.38 on US$7,592m in revenue, with adjusted earnings per share of US$1.43. For a regulated utility that investors often treat as a bond substitute, that level of earnings power is the central focus. The immediate price move suggests indifference, while the income statement points to how securely Duke Energy...

Powell Industries came into this print as a high‑expectation stock after a strong multi‑year run, yet the share price slipped about 4% to US$211.38 on the first trading day after the release. That pullback sits awkwardly beside a quarter built around one thing that is hard to dismiss: orders and backlog. The headline is simple. Powell Industries booked record new orders of US$934 million and lifted backlog to more than US$2.4 billion, while generating US$312 million of revenue and US$52.2...

Hillman Solutions stock jumped 14.4% to US$9.51 in the first full session after earnings, and the move centers on one key factor. The market is focusing on a profitability story that has shifted gears. Q2 net income reached US$21.12m on US$442.25m of revenue, and the trailing twelve month net margin now sits at 2.6%. For a hardware and fastener supplier that has carried debt concerns and a relatively high P/E, this kind of earnings traction changes the conversation. The question for investors...

The market gave Tower Semiconductor a polite nod rather than a standing ovation. The stock closed up about 2% after the Q2 report, a modest move for earnings that put new records on the board. Revenue reached US$460.1m and net margin landed at roughly 20%, both high marks for the company and important for a foundry story that depends heavily on utilization and mix. Investors now have to decide whether that restrained price reaction matches the strength of the print. The real swing factor is...

Vivid Seats came into this earnings print trading like a recovery story that many investors had left for dead, yet the stock just ripped almost 20% higher in a single session to US$9.54.

A loss making ticket marketplace put up a World Cup boosted quarter that delivered US$129.9m in revenue and US$12.6m in adjusted EBITDA, and the market re‑priced that effort in a hurry. Love the World Cup boost and sharp share price reaction but still wary of a loss making ticket...
