SK Hynix’s U.S. listing has closed the valuation gap with Micron, tightening the spread between the two memory‑chip makers. The narrowing spread signals improved liquidity and investor confidence, which could prompt sector rotation into memory stocks over the next 1–10 trading days. Traders should watch for subsequent earnings releases from SK Hynix and Micron that could confirm or reverse the tightening trend. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs reported a 48 % YoY jump in investment‑banking revenue, driven by a 50 % rise in global M&A deal volume, positioning the bank as the top M&A advisor and setting expectations for continued Q2 momentum. Daiwa Securities has lifted its price target for GS to $1,070 from $930, reflecting modest optimism about earnings outlook but also a need to monitor regulatory developments that could affect the bank’s operations. The updated target underscores confidence in GS’s ability to sustain earnings growth, yet investors should keep an eye on upcoming earnings guidance and any regulatory announcements that could impact the bank. Finally, GS upgraded Toast Inc. to Buy, citing AI‑enabled marketing services as a growth catalyst, which may drive further upside if the new services gain traction. Watch for Toast’s Q2 earnings and the uptake of its AI services to gauge whether the upside thesis holds.
