The &lt;strong&gt;S&amp;amp;P 500 &lt;/strong&gt;hit a low of 3,577 on Oct. 12, 2022. Since then, it's more than doubled to around 7,750 today. The tech-heavy &lt;strong&gt;Nasdaq Composite&lt;/strong&gt; has performed even better, up 155% during the same time period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But all bull markets &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/04/23/a-trump-bull-market-correction-may-be-coming-heres/"&gt;come to an end&lt;/a&gt; eventually. In fact, three of the most ominous warning signs that preceded the biggest market crashes in history have been flashing red for months. Here's why history says &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/27/the-stock-market-is-flashing-a-rare-warning-signal/"&gt;a market crash might be in store&lt;/a&gt; for us, and how investors should react.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: Getty Images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/history-says-these-3-warning-signs-precede-major/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/SNPINDEX">^GSPC</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">f1d4663b-d210-469c-8b50-13c4d76bd51d</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-markets">Markets</category></item><item><title>Primo (PRMB) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript</title><link>https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/08/12/primo-prmb-q2-2026-earnings-call-transcript/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>Direct Delivery returns to growth ahead of schedule as retail momentum accelerates.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Motley Fool Transcribing)</author><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:38:35 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/08/12/primo-prmb-q2-2026-earnings-call-transcript/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.5rem; font-size: 0.875rem; color: #666;"&gt;Image source: The Motley Fool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Need a quote from a Motley Fool analyst?

For a company that is &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/07/why-rocket-lab-stock-just-jumped-today/"&gt;still considered an upstart in space&lt;/a&gt;, the numbers behind this rally look increasingly like those of a serious player.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: Getty Images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The groundwork for the current surge started in May, when &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/stocks/how-to-invest-in-rocket-lab-stock/"&gt;Rocket Lab&lt;/a&gt; reported record first quarter 2026 revenue of $200.3 million, up 63.5 percent year over year and slightly above the high end of its own guidance. The gross margin, based on generally accepted accounting principles (&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/terms/g/generally-accepted-accounting-principles/"&gt;GAAP&lt;/a&gt;), hit 38.2%, a big improvement for a launch business that used to bleed cash on each flight. At the same time, the company's contracted backlog jumped to about $2.2 billion, up 108% from a year earlier and 20% just since the prior quarter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/rocket-lab-shares-surge-whats-driving-the-rally/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">RKLB</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">83483f69-7eae-42a6-9585-6320e3e214fb</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>Hudson Pacific (HPP) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript</title><link>https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/08/12/hudson-pacific-hpp-q2-2026-earnings-call-transcript/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>San Francisco signed a landmark 24-year lease, driving office occupancy up 470 basis points.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Motley Fool Transcribing)</author><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:25:53 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/08/12/hudson-pacific-hpp-q2-2026-earnings-call-transcript/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.5rem; font-size: 0.875rem; color: #666;"&gt;Image source: The Motley Fool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Need a quote from a Motley Fool analyst?

I was expecting &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/prediction-palantir-stock-will-go-parabolic-after/"&gt;Palantir stock to go parabolic&lt;/a&gt; following its earnings release, primarily due to its considerable influence in the artificial intelligence (AI) software market and a solid revenue pipeline that's driving robust growth acceleration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The good news for Palantir investors is that this &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/ai-stocks/"&gt;AI stock&lt;/a&gt; has sustained its momentum following its latest results. Specifically, Palantir's shares have jumped 39% since its earnings release. I won't be surprised to see the stock sustain its solid momentum over the coming year and hit $300.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/prediction-palantir-stock-will-trade-at-300-in-202/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">PLTR</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">c1778063-23a8-4afb-b69e-ff74ecf44d56</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>Nvidia Is Up Just 20% This Year.

But that doesn't mean that widely known and popular stocks can't still create shareholder value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: Nvidia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what's happening with Nvidia? It has been following the general trajectory of the &lt;strong&gt;S&amp;amp;P 500&lt;/strong&gt; for most of the year, and as of this writing, it's up 20% versus 14% for the broader index. That's a fair beat, but it's not on par with the massive gains it's delivered in the past.

It's announced a flurry of exciting developments in recent weeks, the most recent of which involves its longtime partner, aerospace giant &lt;strong&gt;Boeing&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="202905"&gt;(NYSE: BA)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/stocks/how-to-invest-in-archer-aviation-stock/"&gt;Archer&lt;/a&gt; has agreed to buy three Boeing businesses -- Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid -- in exchange for newly issued Archer stock. When the deal closes, Archer will issue Boeing a stake in its stock equal to 19.75% of Class A shares immediately beforehand. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Archer stock surged as much as 25%, but has since dialed back to a roughly 13% gain at the time of this writing. Still, the news has reinvigorated Archer investors with what could become one of the most consequential deals in the company's short history -- at least, from the standpoint of its burgeoning defense business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/archer-aviation-is-teaming-up-with-boeing-time-to/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSE">ACHR</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">70403885-5dfb-41a7-898e-39270e7a9468</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-industrials">Industrials</category></item><item><title>Why CoreWeave Stock Is Skyrocketing Today</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/why-coreweave-stock-is-skyrocketing-today/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>The market is having a strongly bullish reaction to CoreWeave's latest quarterly report.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Keith Noonan)</author><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:12:56 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/08/12/why-coreweave-stock-is-skyrocketing-today/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces="true"&gt;CoreWeave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces="true"&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="583927"&gt;(NASDAQ: CRWV)&lt;/span&gt; stock is having a banner day in Wednesday's trading following the company's recent quarterly report.

These companies are being compared because both are central to the global shift toward generative artificial intelligence, though they occupy different positions in the technology supply chain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AMD designs specialized computing products, such as processors and AI accelerators for data centers and personal computers.

That's primarily because the Bank of Japan has kept its benchmark interest rate low for years. Global capital tends to flow to countries with higher interest rates, so currency traders have been selling the yen to buy the dollar, pushing the yen lower.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet despite the weakening yen, the Japanese stock market is doing very well this year. That market is up about 19% so far in 2026, as measured by the &lt;strong&gt;iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="ticker" data-id="203437"&gt;(NYSEMKT: EWJ)&lt;/span&gt;.
