The Morning Bull - US Market Morning Update Friday, Aug, 7 2026 US stock futures are pointing slightly higher this morning, with E mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.2%.

Forward Air stock is ripping higher, up about 16% in early trading to around US$17.80 after its latest earnings. Short term traders are cheering record quarterly operating revenue of US$673 million and the strongest consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in roughly two and a half years. The bigger story sits on the income statement. The company still reported a sizeable quarterly loss, and trailing twelve month earnings remain deeply in the red. The market...

Zoetis stock has had a difficult run, with the share price down about 59.1% over the past five years, yet the current valuation checks still lean toward the shares looking cheap on several measures. Over the past five years, Zoetis has delivered a share price decline of about 59.1%, which puts long term holders firmly in negative territory and raises questions about what the current price already reflects. The recent appointment of James Saccaro as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating...

McKesson stock barely flinched after earnings, slipping about 1% from its recent highs, even though the company just posted the kind of pharmaceutical distribution quarter that usually gets investors’ attention. Revenue reached about US$105.4b and adjusted earnings per share climbed 20% to US$9.93, with full year adjusted EPS guidance nudged higher. The market’s cool reaction appears at odds with those numbers. For now, traders appear to treat the move as a routine pause after a strong multi...

United States Antimony stock has delivered a very large 3 year return, yet the latest valuation work suggests the shares now sit close to intrinsic value while the broader checks still lean expensive. After such a strong run, investors are facing a stock that no longer screens as an obvious bargain. Over the past 3 years, United States Antimony has returned about 12x, which puts extra focus on whether recent gains already reflect the business outlook. Commissioning of the new Thompson Falls...

GLOBALFOUNDRIES has delivered a 56.2% return over the past year, yet on Simply Wall St's broader checks the stock now looks closer to fairly priced than clearly cheap.

Government support for silicon photonics and AI related chip demand can support long term earnings expectations, while the U.S. government taking an equity stake highlights policy and execution risk...

The market slammed GRAIL before the opening bell. The stock closed at US$74.18 and now sits near US$63, a 14% one day hit that signals frustration with the latest quarter. However, the headline from the earnings release is not a collapse in the business. GRAIL delivered Q2 2026 revenue of US$44.7m and more than 61,000 Galleri tests, while the company still reported a net loss of US$110.2m. The selloff appears to be about patience. Investors are taking a hard look at how long they are willing...

For you as a shareholder or potential buyer, the key question now is time horizon. The market is reacting to a slightly softer share price in the near term, while the earnings print, the upgraded confidence...

Eos Energy Enterprises stock has delivered a strong 75.1% gain over the past three years, yet its current checks and market multiples point to a company that does not clearly stand out as either cheap or expensive on valuation alone. The 75.1% share price gain over three years shows that longer term holders have been rewarded despite more recent weakness. The expanding order backlog, including new contracts in energy storage for critical infrastructure, can support expectations for future...

Alexandria Real Estate Equities has seen its share price fall sharply over the past few years, yet current valuation checks and an intrinsic value estimate based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach both suggest the stock may now be trading at a discount to its underlying cash flow potential. Over the last 5 years, Alexandria Real Estate Equities has declined about 70%, which puts recent sentiment and current pricing under clear pressure. Progress on initiatives such as the precision...

Mirum Pharmaceuticals came into this earnings season with a bruised stock, down over 26% in the past month, and the selloff accelerated today with an 11% slide to about US$94. Yet the headline from Q2 is not collapse but commercial heft. Net product sales reached US$176.2m and management lifted full year 2026 sales guidance to a range of US$680m to US$700m. The catch sits on the income statement. Mirum reported a quarterly net loss of US$67.2m and basic earnings per share of US$1.06 in the...

CenterPoint Energy stock has delivered a strong 72.5% total return over the past five years. However, the low value score and an intrinsic value estimate that points to a premium price suggest the shares may no longer be an obvious bargain at around US$40.67. Over five years, CenterPoint Energy has returned 72.5%. This puts more pressure on today’s buyers to be confident about what they are paying for. Expected load growth in Texas, including large power demands from data centers, can...

We’ll now examine how this stronger...

Stoneridge came into this earnings print as a deeply loss making auto supplier that the market has largely priced for trouble. The stock slipped about 3% to US$7.25 after the release. That move understates how much the quarter reshaped the story. Revenue reached US$181.4m with organic growth comfortably ahead of key original equipment manufacturer end markets, and MirrorEye camera systems delivered a record US$37m in sales. The catch is margin quality. Gross margin compressed while adjusted...

Fastly entered this earnings day on a strong short run, with the stock up over the past week and month, then hit a wall. The share price fell about 13% to US$22.68 as investors reacted fast to the headline numbers. The shock is that this edge cloud stock just printed what looks like a clean profitability step change. Revenue for Q2 came in at US$183.3m and Fastly delivered a net income of US$26.2m alongside record gross and operating margins. The market is treating that as a blip. The results...
