Okta +27% and CrowdStrike +18% After AI-Driven Earnings
Okta and CrowdStrike shares jumped sharply after both companies beat Wall Street estimates for the fiscal second quarter and raised guidance, citing rising AI-driven cyber threats that are increasing customer spending on security. CrowdStrike’s stock rose about 18% and Okta’s surged roughly 27%, helping lift other cybersecurity names such as Palo Alto Networks, SailPoint, Zscaler and Rubrik. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz described an “arms race” driven by AI, while Okta CEO Todd McKinnon said AI tool adoption is still in early stages and that new products contributed nearly a third of bookings. Analysts at Bank of America and Deutsche Bank commented on the sector, and the report framed identity-security tools as clear winners amid growing AI agent risks.
Nvidia stock jumps after blockbuster earnings
Nvidia shares rose about 6% in premarket trading after the company reported strong earnings and provided upbeat revenue guidance for fiscal 2028. CFO Colette Kress forecasted 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, while CEO Jensen Huang said demand likely exceeds that figure but supply constraints limit shipment. Nvidia said its AI Clouds, industrial, and enterprise (ACIE) customers generated $40.3 billion in sales for the quarter, up 138% year-over-year. Analysts noted supply issues at TSMC and memory shortages, and some flagged a potential competitive threat from custom AI chips being developed by hyperscalers and AI labs.
Marvell Earnings Could Boost AI Trade
Marvell Technology is scheduled to report fiscal second-quarter results this week, which Virtus Investment Partners chief market strategist Joe Terranova told CNBC could provide a needed "shot of adrenaline" for the AI trade. Terranova said the earnings will help investors assess whether hyperscalers will keep investing at current pace in planned multi-billion-dollar data center buildouts — a key driver for semiconductor and AI-linked stocks. He cautioned that rising Treasury yields, local opposition to data centers, and hardware bottlenecks could slow that infrastructure investment.
