Predictive AI Network THEA Raises $8M to Build Solana-Based Coordination Layer Predictive behavioral AI network THEA raised $8 million in a round led by Maven11 Capital, Spartan Group, ManifoldTrading, HackVC and Fisher8 Capital. The funding will be used to expand its operational AI infrastructure and Solana-based on-chain coordination layer. THEA plans to launch THEA Network on Solana to coordinate inference requests, accounting and on-chain settlement, while computation remains off-chain.

Crypto remains one of the most egalitarian movements in modern finance. What’s happening today in private AI markets is something crypto figured out years ago: you need some form of liquidity and broad market participation before reaching Billion dollar valuations, let alone Trillion. Technology alone is not enough. What differentiated @ethereum and @solana from countless other L1s wasn’t just technical innovation, it was the economic alignment with their users, developers, and communities. I think the same thing eventually happens with AI. Retail users will stop being just consumers of AI products and will increasingly demand ownership, participation, and upside. The most valuable AI networks may not be the ones with the best models alone, but the ones that align economically with the people providing the data, distribution, compute, feedback, and applications. People don’t just want to use the future. They want exposure to it.

Weekend → Monday U.S. Market Brief 🟢 Bullish developments 1. Middle East tensions eased, supporting risk assets The biggest macro driver into Monday is a reported de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran after weekend military exchanges. Markets interpreted the latest developments as reducing the probability of a prolonged disruption to oil shipping. U.S. equity futures, especially Nasdaq futures, moved higher before the open as investors rotated back toward growth assets. (Reuters) Most positive for $NVDA $AMD $AVGO $MRVL $ARM 2. Oil remains well below panic levels Despite geopolitical headlines, oil has remained relatively contained instead of spiking dramatically. Lower energy prices generally: reduce inflation pressure improve expectations for future Fed policy benefit long-duration growth stocks This is particularly supportive for AI infrastructure names whose valuations are sensitive to interest rates. (Reuters) 3. AI infrastructure spending remains the dominant long-term theme Although investors have become more selective, reports continue to highlight that semiconductor and memory companies have been the strongest-performing segment of 2026. Companies still benefiting from AI capex include: NVDA MU WDC STX SK Hynix Samsung The market narrative remains centered on AI infrastructure rather than consumer AI software. (The Guardian) 🔴 Bearish developments 1. AI valuation concerns continue The largest headwind remains valuation. Investors continue questioning: whether hyperscalers can maintain AI spending when AI investments generate meaningful cash flow whether current semiconductor multiples are sustainable Profit-taking has continued across many AI leaders after an exceptional first half of the year. (Reuters) 2. Rising-rate concerns remain Although geopolitical risks eased, markets are still focused on inflation and Fed policy. Recent commentary has kept alive expectations that rates could stay higher for longer if inflation proves persistent. Higher real yields are generally negative for: NVDA MSFT AMZN GOOGL META other long-duration AI names. 3. Rotation away from mega-cap AI Several reports note that: semiconductor stocks have significantly outperformed investors have started rotating into other sectors software and mega-cap AI names have underperformed recently This does not necessarily imply the AI cycle is ending, but it increases short-term volatility. (The Guardian) AI company-specific updates NVIDIA (NVDA) No major company announcement over the weekend. Remains highly sensitive to macro sentiment and AI capex expectations. Likely to trade with Nasdaq direction and Treasury yields. Marvell (MRVL) No significant company-specific news. Continues trading primarily on AI networking and custom silicon sentiment. Broadcom (AVGO) No major weekend developments. AMD No significant company-specific catalyst. Micron (MU) No new guidance since last week's earnings. Still viewed as one of the strongest beneficiaries of AI memory demand despite recent profit-taking. (Reuters) Nokia (NOK) No meaningful AI-related news over the weekend. SHAZ No significant new company announcement over the weekend. Earnings / Guidance No major AI-company earnings or guidance updates over the weekend. Macro events to watch this week This is a shortened trading week. Key events include: Tuesday: Consumer Confidence, JOLTS job openings Wednesday: ADP employment, ISM Manufacturing PMI Thursday: U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate, Average Hourly Earnings (released early because of the Independence Day holiday) Friday: U.S. equity markets closed for Independence Day observance. (Schwab Brokerage) These labor-market reports are likely to be the biggest drivers of Treasury yields and AI stock performance this week. Policy / Geopolitics Positive Reported U.S.–Iran de-escalation reduced immediate fears of a prolonged conflict and major disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. (Reuters) Risk remains The ceasefire and diplomatic progress remain fragile, and markets could react quickly if tensions escalate again. (Reuters) Overall sentiment for Monday Bullish factors ✅ Reduced geopolitical stress ✅ Stable oil prices ✅ Strong long-term AI infrastructure demand Bearish factors ⚠️ Continued valuation pressure on AI leaders ⚠️ Higher-for-longer rate concerns ⚠️ Profit-taking after a very strong first half for semiconductor stocks The backdrop into Monday is moderately constructive for U.S. AI stocks because easing geopolitical tensions and relatively contained oil prices support risk appetite. However, the market's focus is shifting from geopolitical headlines back to Fed expectations, labor-market data, and the sustainability of AI capital spending, which are likely to determine whether the AI sector can regain momentum later in the week.

HSBC Raises $NVDA PT to $325 from $295 - Buy; ER Preview Analyst comments: "At its upcoming 1QFY27 results announcement on May 20, we expect NVIDIA to report 1QFY27 revenue of USD81.1 billion, 4%/3% higher than management guidance and Visible Alpha consensus estimates of USD78.0 billion/USD78.6 billion. We also expect 2QFY27E revenue of USD91.1 billion versus consensus estimate of USD85.6 billion, implying another “beat and raise” quarter. We also raise our FY28E EPS by 27% to USD13.01, 16% above consensus of USD11.20, on higher FY28E data center revenue of USD528 billion versus consensus of USD465.3 billion, on the back of an upward revision to chip-on-wafer-on-substrate allocation from 900,000 to 1.1 million wafers. Over the past five years, all major NVIDIA stock price movements have been led by a combination of its evolving AI product roadmap — starting with significant ASP pricing power with first-generation AI GPUs, A100 and H100 — driving significant earnings upside along with consistent “beat and raise” financial results. However, since the buzz around sovereign AI and the opportunity from neoclouds, no new narrative has emerged, and NVIDIA shares have underperformed the SOX over the last six months despite having two GTC events and two sets of financial results that beat estimates and raised expectations. Hence, we believe AI GPU earnings momentum and its upcoming Vera Rubin and Rubin Ultra product roadmap have become less meaningful narratives for significant re-rating or share price upside potential. Despite the ever-increasing CAPEX trend by CSPs that shows no signs of abating, NVIDIA now has to share the CAPEX with memory makers, AI networking, and server CPU vendors. Hence, NVIDIA needs to show evidence of diversifying its non-CSP customer base to fuel its AI GPU momentum. New TAM opportunities via agentic AI server CPUs and its recent optics-related deals could also potentially be emerging narratives that could lead to more significant earnings revisions or re-rating."
