Dow Jones Futures: Stocks At Highs As Oil Prices Tumble, Marvell, Snowflake Jump Late On Earnings - Investor's Business Daily
1 min read
The story
Marvell beat Q1 estimates and issued strong guidance, rallying after-hours despite a -4.6% intraday drop, while Snowflake surged on a Q1 beat and raised full-year guidance. Salesforce also beat on earnings but fell on soft guidance, creating a split post-earnings tape that rewards selective positioning rather than a blanket tech-earnings trade.

The house read
Long MRVL into the gap-fill setup — earnings beat + strong guide reverses the -4.6% intraday flush; short CRM as soft guidance overpowers the profit beat with the stock already extended.
Wrong ifMRVL leg fails if AI semis sentiment reverses on macro data (PCE print due) or if after-hours gains evaporate at open; CRM leg fails if the market reads the guidance conservatively and upgrades follow on the earnings quality beat.
