#1NVDA — RTX Spark Superchip Launches at Computex; NVIDIA Enters PC Chip Market

Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX Spark at Computex 2026 in Taipei — an Arm-based chip co-developed with MediaTek featuring a Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, up to 20 CPU cores, 128GB unified memory, and 1 petaflop of AI compute, bringing the full CUDA stack natively to Windows laptops for the first time. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and others will ship systems this fall, with NVDA gaining approximately 2.5% on the news. Intel fell 6% and AMD dropped 5% on direct competitive pressure at the open.

#2MDB — MongoDB Surges 20.4% on Q1 Beat and Guidance Raise; Wave of Analyst Target Hikes

MongoDB reported Q1 FY2027 revenue of $687.6M vs. $663.8M consensus, with adjusted EPS of $1.32 beating the $1.18 estimate; Q2 guidance midpoint of $731.5M came in well above the $699.65M street consensus. The stock surged 20.4% to $403.88 as investors bought the narrative that enterprise agentic AI workflows are re-accelerating demand for document-model databases. Stifel, Oppenheimer, Needham, Wedbush, and Scotiabank all raised price targets in the wake of the print.

#3AVGO — Broadcom Q2 Preview: 140% AI Revenue Growth Expected; Reports June 3; Options Pricing 10.65% Swing

Broadcom reports Q2 FY2026 Wednesday, with consensus calling for AI semiconductor revenue of approximately $10.7B — a 140% year-over-year increase — driven by custom XPU demand from hyperscaler customers. Total revenue consensus is $22.11B (+47% YoY) with EPS of $2.40 (+52% YoY). AVGO gained 3.48% on June 1 as the pre-earnings buildup intensified, and options markets are pricing a 10.65% move in either direction on the print.

#4CRWD — CrowdStrike +5.24% Ahead of June 3 Earnings; Jefferies Lifts Target to $775

CrowdStrike surged 5.24% Monday as pre-earnings momentum built ahead of its June 3 report, where the street expects EPS of $0.88 (+47% YoY) on 23.5% revenue growth. Jefferies raised its price target from $500 to $775, while DZ Bank stands as the lone bear — downgrading to Strong Sell on May 23 with the thesis that CRWD is "priced for perfection." Average analyst target sits around $554–$564 on a Buy consensus, making Jefferies at $775 a genuine outlier.

#5SMCI — Super Micro +5.5% Premarket Tuesday on New ARM and AMD Rack-Scale AI Platforms

Super Micro Computer is up 5.5% in Tuesday premarket after unveiling rack-scale AI infrastructure platforms co-developed with ARM Holdings and AMD, targeting agentic AI workloads with higher compute density and improved energy efficiency. The catalyst was reinforced by SK Hynix announcing plans to double wafer capacity over five years. Analyst consensus remains Hold with an average price target of $32.70, suggesting the street was leaning the wrong way heading into this morning.

#6MACRO — US Closes Loophole on AI Chip Export Ban; Rule Now Covers Chinese Subsidiaries Outside China

The US government issued guidance June 1 affirming that AI semiconductor export restrictions apply to subsidiaries of Chinese companies located outside China, closing a workaround some buyers had been quietly exploiting to access restricted hardware. The ruling directly tightens the demand picture for NVDA and AMD in markets where Chinese corporate ownership runs through the supply chain. It's a slow-tightening constraint rather than an immediate stock mover, but it materially narrows the gray area.

#7TSM — TSMC Plans 15% Price Hike on 3nm in H2 2026; AI Demand Straining Capacity

Supply chain sources indicate TSMC is planning to raise 3-nanometer process pricing by up to 15% in the second half of 2026, as AI chip orders from NVIDIA, AMD, Google, and cloud providers continue to overwhelm available capacity. The direct read-through beneficiary is ASML — the sole EUV lithography equipment supplier for advanced nodes — whose Q1 2026 backlog stands at €45B. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan flew to Taiwan for TSMC meetings ahead of delivering Intel's own Computex keynote on June 2.

#8PLTR — Palantir +10% on Q1 Revenue +85% to $1.63B; Biggest Single-Day Gain in Over a Year

Palantir posted Q1 2026 revenue of $1.63B, up 85% year over year, beat estimates, and raised full-year 2026 guidance to $7.65–$7.66B. Shares jumped approximately 10% to $156.54, the stock's largest single-day gain in more than a year, with Dell's strong AI Factory sales figures providing additional partnership validation. Nineteen of 28 covering analysts rate it Strong Buy, and the enterprise AI narrative behind the number is as clean as any in the sector.

#9AAPL — BofA Raises Apple Target to $380, Wedbush Goes to $400 Ahead of WWDC Agentic AI Catalyst

Bank of America lifted its Apple price target from $330 to $380, arguing AI will be a far larger business for Apple than the market currently prices in, with WWDC 2026 expected to serve as a major agentic AI showcase. Wedbush's Dan Ives went further with a street-high target of $400, calling Apple "the sleeping tech giant about to see a major inflection point." The broad street consensus sits around $308 across 42 analysts, putting both bulls well out in front of the pack heading into the June developer conference.

#10CRM — BofA Reinstates Salesforce at Underperform With Street-Low $160 Target on AI Disruption Risk

Bank of America reinstated Salesforce with an Underperform rating and a $160 price target — the lowest on the street — arguing that AI agents pose a structural threat to the traditional SaaS model and may permanently slow CRM's growth trajectory. The call lands against record FY2026 Salesforce revenue of $41.5B (+10% YoY), making it the sharpest bearish call in enterprise software this week. BofA's thesis: AI-native competitors are eating the category from below, and the current multiple doesn't hold if that story accelerates.
