$WMT talking about investing heavily to lower prices with the bulk hitting at the end of Q2 and the real impact to be seen in Q3 and Q4....how is that not a negative for $TGT? Consumer incremental weaker according to wmt mgmt and while TGT has stepped over low comps, and created some traction with new assortment at current prices (17x next year on 3% growth and actually declining earnings yoy) very difficult to argue Target is cheap and isn't going to be threatened by new price competition for tighter wallets across WMT and TJX

The question needs to be asked: Why haven't $META and $GOOG done more to control the narrative around data center construction? They literally can amplify whatever news, posts, and videos they want. We've learned that. Don't tell me they've learned their lesson about meddling (there's a $1T+ court case ongoing that tells me otherwise). Instead we're hearing narratives about China and Tiktok, when two MAJOR AI players own the pipes that serve every other social media post and video in this country. It's a strange set of circumstances. Would $GOOG and $META benefit if @AnthropicAI and @openAI go through the windshield? Of course, but it's not obvious how a backlash against data centers helps these hyperscalers otherwise. Thoughts?
