The market climbed Tuesday as falling crude and Treasury yields gave technology room to lead without resolving the U.S.-Iran risk hanging over the session.

Semiconductors carried the index advance, but the real action was in company-specific punishment. Dick’s collapsed under Foot Locker’s drag, while Intuit and Zoom slipped after hours despite headline beats. Wednesday’s PCE, GDP, and Nvidia report will test whether lower yields can keep supporting growth stocks.

On Stocktwits, retail traders crowded into the damage. Dick’s room stayed 98% bullish after a 31% collapse, Zoom’s was 78% bullish after its report, and Intuit traders debated whether the guide reflected weaker growth or simply new stock-comp math.

Today's Briefing: Powered by Stocktwits Community API.

  • After the Bell: Intuit resets its growth yardstick while Zoom’s enterprise rebound meets a soft profit guide.

  • Stocks: Foot Locker drags Dick’s into a record collapse.

  • Macro News: Trump’s June filing maps 1,051 portfolio transactions across stocks, ETFs, bonds, and Treasuries.

  • Post-earnings move: ±3.2% typical, last was -1.8% on May 20

AFTER THE BELL
Intuit Taxes Its Outlook 🧾

Intuit, the company behind TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp, beat Q4 expectations Tuesday but projected slower fiscal 2027 growth as Mailchimp weakness and a new stock-compensation treatment reset the scorecard. Shares extended their regular-session decline after hours. 🧾

The RIP: $INTU fell 9% after hours after closing down 3.4%. Adjusted EPS was $4.03 vs. $3.58 consensus, and revenue was $4.35B vs. $4.27B. Fiscal 2027 revenue guidance was $23.28B-$23.51B, representing 9%-10% growth after 14% in fiscal 2026.

QuickBooks and the Big Bets portfolio still did the heavy lifting, but holders now need evidence that 9%-10% growth is a floor, not the new ceiling. Intuit’s Sept. 17 Investor Day must explain Mailchimp’s stall and how much of the apparent EPS reset comes from newly including stock-based compensation. The room’s bullish valuation game starts at $22.88-$23.12 and 22x, which lands near $500 if the new yardstick holds. 🧮

"$INTU stop loss raid, no reason this should be dropping, guidance only lower because of $5 a share adjustment for stock base compensation"

Zoom’s Beat Gets Muted 🔇

Zoom, the video meetings and workplace communications provider, beat Q2 expectations Tuesday as enterprise demand accelerated, but its third-quarter profit forecast missed consensus amid competition from Microsoft and Google. Shares fell during the session and again after hours. 🔇

The RIP: $ZM fell 3.9% after hours after closing down 3.7%. Adjusted EPS was $1.55, and revenue was $1.28B vs. $1.27B consensus. Enterprise revenue rose 7.8%, while Q3 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.46-$1.48 trailed the $1.50 estimate. 📹

"$ZM just read through the report solid beat and raise. AI adoption 256% is better than most companies plus raised forward guidance and profitable."

STOCKS
Foot Locker Kicks Back 🥾

Dick’s Sporting Goods, the athletic gear retailer that now owns Foot Locker, reported weaker Q2 results Tuesday and cut its full-year outlook after heavy promotions and soft sneaker launches hit the acquired chain. Shares suffered their biggest percentage decline on record. 🥾

The RIP: $DKS sank 30.7% to $124.31 on 14.5x volume. Adjusted EPS was $3.53 vs. $3.76 consensus, and revenue was $5.59B vs. $5.64B. Dick’s comps rose 4.9%, Foot Locker comps fell 3.6%, and full-year sales guidance dropped to $21.9B-$22.2B.

For holders, the 4.9% namesake comp versus Foot Locker’s 3.6% decline makes the integration the whole decision. Management’s next report must show fewer promotions, better launches, and a path from Foot Locker’s drag to the promised synergies. The room treated the selloff like a failed biotech trial, then argued that 30% off an $11B retailer was a gift. 🎁
