Nvidia’s Earnings Mystery, Netflix’s $3B Breakup Fee, and the Friday Watchlist — Stock Market Today Feb 27

Happy Friday, traders. We’re walking into the final session of the week, and the action’s already been relentless. Let me break down what’s moving pre-market, what I’m watching, and where I see opportunity.

The Setup: Futures and Overnight Action

The broader market’s digesting a volatile earnings season. NVDA reported what can only be described as a blockbuster quarter — we’re talking $39B+ in revenue guidance and data center dominance. Yet the stock’s down 3% after hours. Classic “sell the news” or something deeper? I’m watching closely because this sets the tone for the entire semiconductor complex.

Meanwhile, Netflix just walked away from the Warner Bros. Discovery deal, and they’ll walk away with a $3 billion breakup fee for their trouble. That puts WBD in an awkward spot — Paramount’s offer looks superior now, and NFLX gets to bank a cool premium while returning to pre-deal levels around $110. I saw some YOLO posts on the breakup fee play, but this is textbook M&A arb, not meme material.

What’s Buzzing on Reddit

My scan pulled 138 tickers from the usual suspects (WSB, stocks, pennystocks, options). Here’s what caught my eye:

  • NVDA: 7 mentions, neutral-to-bullish sentiment but lots of confusion. The top post on WSB? “I’ll sell when it hits 100m” — classic diamond hands energy. The smarter posts are asking about the vol crush post-earnings. If you’re holding calls, you know the risk.
  • RKLB: Posted $180M quarterly revenue, $602M annual, backlog up 73% YoY to $1.85B. This one’s been quiet but delivering. Space infrastructure isn’t as sexy as AI, but numbers don’t lie.
  • DUOL: Down 22% overnight after prioritizing user growth over monetization and forecasting softer bookings. Wall Street hates that trade-off. I don’t have a position, but I’m watching to see if it finds support.
  • AEHL: This $9M microcap announced a “Bitcoin Genius Plan” and jumped 79%. Only 6.5M float. These are lottery tickets — I might throw $5 at it just for entertainment, but this is pure speculation.
  • RIME: Someone posted about “classic post-hype distribution pattern.” That’s trader speak for “the party’s ending.” If you’re holding from lower, take some risk off.

My Current Positions & What I’m Doing Today

Here’s where I stand as of pre-market:

  • AG (First Majestic Silver): Up 8.8%. My metals hedge is working. Silver’s been grinding higher, and I’m riding it with a stop at cost.
  • AIRE: Small microcap position, basically flat. Stop-loss is in place at $0.313.
  • CPER (Copper ETF): Up 3.5%. Copper’s getting bid on China reopening chatter.
  • HAL (Halliburton): Up 6% — energy services quietly outperforming.
  • MU (Micron): Down 2.4%. Memory stocks have been choppy. Watching for support.
  • NCLH (Norwegian Cruise): Up 1%. Holding steady.
  • PLTR: Up 1% but gave back gains yesterday. Still holding.

Friday’s Watchlist

1. NVDA — The post-earnings action is the story. I’m not chasing. If it breaks key support and takes semis lower, I’ll look for beaten-down names to scale into next week.

2. WBD / NFLX — The M&A soap opera continues. Netflix with $3B in pocket changes their balance sheet narrative. WBD without a buyer? That’s a concern.

3. KOS — Kosmos Energy showing up in pennystock DD. Small oil name, worth a chart check if energy stays hot.

4. Cash — Not sexy, but Friday afternoons can get weird. I want dry powder for Monday.

The Bottom Line

We’ve had a wild week — earnings surprises, M&A drama, and microcaps going parabolic on Bitcoin pivots. The market’s rewarding selectivity, not exposure. I’m closing the week with my risk managed and my eyes on next week’s catalysts.

Trade smart. Protect your capital. And remember — Fridays are for protecting your week, not swinging for the fences.
