Consumer and tech giants are showing signs of strain: Nike lowered its FY2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.15-$1.35, well below consensus, triggering a 7% share price decline and heavy options volume. Similarly, Meta Platforms reported 28% revenue growth but a decline in net income, highlighting margin compression pressures. These developments suggest that while macro liquidity is supportive, individual company fundamentals and pricing power remain under scrutiny, creating a mixed environment for megacap consumer and tech stocks.
