🔹💻 Semis, manufacturing & enterprise IT — MU, JBL, ACN, FDS, PRGS:
Micron is the memory-cycle read: DRAM/NAND pricing, AI-server demand, and guidance show whether data-center buildout is still absorbing supply. Jabil is the electronics-manufacturing pulse — cloud, auto, and industrial mix plus utilization track real factory demand, not chip rhetoric. Accenture is the bookings check: book-to-bill, gen-AI conversion, and federal vs. commercial mix show whether CIOs are spending or freezing. FactSet is the buy-side health read — workflow retention and ASV growth track whether asset managers and banks still pay for terminals. Progress is the infrastructure-software check: license vs. recurring mix and M&A integration speak to mid-market IT budgets.
🔹✈️ Travel, leisure & brand demand — CCL, NKE:
Carnival is the mass-market travel check — occupancy, yields, onboard spend, and booking curves show whether middle-income households are still vacationing. Nike is the brand-and-inventory read: wholesale vs. DTC mix, full-price sell-through, and Greater China/North America commentary show whether consumers still pay up for athletic lifestyle or sit out.
