The headline whiplash is getting old – trade these signals instead
We bet you don’t know at least half of these great stocks
Only two sectors stand strong amid a sea of volatility
Our motto for 2026 continues to be “don’t trade the headlines”…
This all happened in the last 24 hours:
President Trump threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power infrastructure, its oil wells, its Kharg Island oil export hub, and possibly all its water desalination plants.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president expected the Iranian regime to “make a deal.”
The Wall Street Journalreported that the White House was looking to end the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz – leaving the brunt of the fallout to countries in Europe and the Gulf (which rely more than the U.S. on oil flows through the Strait)
It’s in times like these, when the news headlines are so jarring, that following the data matters most.
There’s just no way you’re going to figure out where oil prices… or the stock market… is headed next by watching the news.
So today, let’s resume our mission of finding profitable opportunities amid the chaos through the lens of data.
Days from now, a colossal event could set off the biggest market move since 2025’s crash, opening the most lucrative trading opportunity in two decades. A “blink and you’ll miss it” moment that could double your money, as we saw 13 times last year on official picks across our work. Learn more here (includes 2 free recommendations).
This seasonal signal is flashing a rare setup in a household toy name…
TradeSmith’s Seasonality tool analyzes how a stock has historically behaved during specific calendar windows – going back as far as the data allows.
When a pattern surfaces again and again, year after year, that gives you a statistical edge.
To be clear, seasonality is not a crystal ball. It just shows you where to look and when. From there, you can dive deeper.
Right now, we have a perfect example in Hasbro (HAS). Take a look at its seasonality chart below.
From April 8 to May 1, the toymaker has been up every year for the past 15 years – a 100% accuracy rate. The average return across all those trades is 8%.
That’s our cue to dig deeper. And we don’t have to look far for a potential cause for this pattern.
Hasbro typically reports its first-quarter earnings in late April – right in the middle of this seasonal window. And Q1 follows the holiday quarter, which for a toy-and-games company is its biggest revenue-generating time of the year.
Whether Hasbro reports strong earnings doesn’t really matter. What this data shows us is that investors tend to buy this stock in the lead-up to these Q1 earnings reports. And that’s all the signal we need to make a trade.
Just remember, a seasonal pattern – even one with a 100% historical hit rate – is not a reason to go all in on a single trade. Treat this as a smaller, speculative position within a broader portfolio.
The pattern has been consistent, but no signal is a guarantee. Keep your position size modest and manage your downside.
Today’s top Quantum Score stocks aren’t the names you’d expect…
The Quantum Score is a stock-rating system that combines two factors into a single 0—100 ranking.
The first is a company’s fundamental strength – earnings, revenue, and profit margin growth.
The second is its technical momentum – specifically, price action and unusually large buying volume of the kind that tends to come from major institutional investors.
Reading the Quantum Score is simple: Anything above 75 is a buy, and the higher the score, the better.
Now, let’s take a look at the top 10 stocks by Quantum Score in our system right now:
Be honest: Apart from The New York Times (NYT) and Dell Technologies (DELL), how many of those tickers did you recognize at a glance?
Outside those household names, this list spans digital infrastructure company Vertiv Holdings (VRT), specialty electrical company nVent Electric PLC (NVT), energy technology company Nextpower (NXT), oil and gas equipment companies Oceaneering International (OII) and NPK International (NPKI), natural gas compression services company Archrock (AROC), and two education companies, Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and Laureate Education (LAUR).
What you don’t see is a single Magnificent Seven stock… or quantum computing stock… or semiconductor company – the kinds of stocks that have dominated the bull market.
And that’s the point. The Quantum Score doesn’t care about narratives or headlines. It tracks where the strongest fundamentals and the biggest institutional money flows are aligned.
And right now, they’re meeting in the corners of the market most investors aren’t watching.
That shift runs even deeper at the sector level. Below is how the major S&P 500 sectors rank by average Quantum Score today:
Only the Energy sector (77.8) and Utilities sector (74.7) clear the 75 threshold we consider a buy. Every other sector sits below it – with Technology (58.1), Communication Services (57.8), Consumer Cyclical (57.4), and Healthcare (55.9) bringing up the rear.
This is investors moving away from the stocks and sectors that led the last three years. The Quantum Score has been pointing to Energy and Utilities for months. And the sector-level data reinforces that theme.
If you subscribe to Quantum Edge Pro, keep a close eye on the stocks at the top of the Quantum Score leaderboard. And if you don’t, then stay tuned here in the Daily for any new ideas we share from this rating system.
Only two sectors remain in the Long-Term Health Green Zone…
Long-Term Health is TradeSmith’s bedrock indicator. It powers our TradeStops software by looking at a stock’s historical range of movement and using that to determine buy and sell signals.
It then warns you when a stock or sector ETF starts to show abnormally high levels of volatility – the kind that typically precedes a major trend shift.
It’s great for risk management on individual stocks. But like the Quantum Score, it can also give us clues about the right sectors to favor at any given time.
Right now, the Long-Term Health picture has deteriorated across most of the market.
Only two sectors hold a Long-Term Health Green signal: the Utilities sector (XLU), in the green for more than two months, and the Energy sector (XLE), in the green for more than seven months.
Everything else has either recently slipped into Yellow – a caution zone signaling that the long-term trend is under stress – or already moved into Red.
The Consumer Defensive sector (XLP) and the Financial Services sector (XLF) have both entered Long-Term Health Red Zones. The Financial Services sector in particular has now been in a long-term downtrend for more than two weeks – consistent with what we covered on March 10, when private credit stress and AI disruption fears first sent scores of financial stocks into sell territory.
The Basic Materials (XLB), Technology (XLK), Communication Services (XLC), Industrials (XLI), Consumer Cyclical (XLY), and Healthcare (XLV) sectors have all flipped to Long-Term Health Yellow within the past week. That’s a broad sweep of the market moving from confirmed uptrends into caution territory – all in a short window.
When this many sectors deteriorate in tandem, it’s the market’s way of telling you the underlying trend has shifted.
The takeaway is simple: the sectors still worth owning for the long haul are Energy and Utilities. Everything else deserves a more critical look.
If you own stocks in these sectors – and you almost certainly do – review your risk management. Consider taking some profits off the table. And approach any new buys with extra scrutiny.
If you’re a TradeStops subscriber, this is as simple as syncing your portfolio with our web platform and checking its Health status. But even if you’re not, take a look at how your portfolio has done this year and see if it’s aligned with what we see in our data.
The investors who come out ahead in 2026 won’t be the ones who called every headline right. They’ll be the ones who had a system that told them when to hold, when to take profits, and when to hit the bricks – long before the crowd.
That’s what TradeSmith is built for.
To building wealth beyond measure,

Tonight, we’re sharing something we hope many of you will find genuinely useful.
Healthcare Decoded premieres today at 6 p.m. EST, followed by a live Q&A with Matthew Little and Sheramy Tsai at 9 p.m. EST.
This one is different from a typical documentary release.
It’s not just about what’s wrong with health care. It’s about understanding the system a little more clearly—why appointments feel rushed, why simple decisions become complicated, and why so many patients end up feeling like they have to navigate everything on their own.
Little spent years reporting on this. Tsai has seen it from the inside, both as a nurse and as a health care reporter.
Together, they bring something rare: a grounded look at how the system actually works, and what that means for ordinary people trying to make good decisions.
If you watch the film and find yourself thinking, “I’ve felt this,” or “I wish I had known this sooner,” the Q&A is a chance to stay with those questions a little longer.
You already have access—however, there may be someone you know who isn’t a subscriber but will benefit from watching this. If someone comes to mind, feel free to share it with them. The documentary will be free to watch for 48 hours.

Gap Stock Recovering After Earnings Slide, AI News Helps
Written by Jennifer Ryan Woods on March 26, 2026
Key Points
Gap shares have been volatile in recent weeks, falling more than 14% after the company’s early March earnings report before rebounding as investors regained confidence in the retailer’s improving fundamentals.
The fourth-quarter report showed continued progress in Gap’s turnaround, with 3% comparable sales growth, a second straight year of top-line gains, and a strong balance sheet, although tariff pressure and weakness at the Athleta brand weighed on margins and sentiment.
Wall Street remains generally optimistic, with a Moderate Buy consensus rating and a $30.62 price target implying about 19% upside, as investors look for the company’s multi-year turnaround strategy to support further gains.
Gap Inc. (NYSE: GAP) has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. Shares dropped sharply in early March following the company’s earnings report before regaining some ground as investors seemed to shrug off the initial reaction and regain confidence in the retailer’s improving fundamentals. The stock got another lift this week after reports that Gap plans to integrate its brands into Google’s Gemini AI platform gave Wall Street another reason to be optimistic.
The recent swings show how catalyst-driven the stock has become, with shares moving sharply on earnings and headlines as investors react to the company’s progress in its multi-year turnaround strategy and try to gauge whether the improvements can keep the rally going.
Gap has seen plenty of ups and downs over the years. The stock hit a rough patch in 2022 and early 2023 as the company struggled with competition and uneven performance across its brands. Things started to turn around in 2023, however, after Gap brought in a new CEO and laid out a plan to fix the business. Investors liked what they heard, and the stock began trending higher.
In 2025 and into early 2026, the stock staged another strong run. After hitting a 52-week low around $17 in early April, shares climbed steadily as several better-than-expected quarters and stronger performance across much of the company’s portfolio helped push the stock higher. By late February, shares were trading near $28, up roughly 70% from the April low.
Things went south on March 5, when the company reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings that came in just shy of expectations. Earnings of 45 cents per share missed estimates by a penny, while revenue of $4.24 billion was roughly in line.
In many ways, it was a solid quarter. The company posted its second straight year of top-line growth, with comparable sales up 3%. Gap ended 2025 with about $3 billion in cash, its strongest balance sheet in nearly two decades, allowing the company to raise its dividend by about 6% and approve a $1 billion share repurchase program.
There were a few sore spots, though. Tariffs cut gross margin by about 200 basis points during the quarter, and the company’s Athleta brand remained weak, with sales down about 11% year over year.
Looking ahead, Gap expects another 150 to 200 basis-point hit from tariffs in the first quarter and sees mid-single-digit declines at Athleta in the first half of 2026 as it works to reposition the brand. Even so, its fiscal 2026 guidance was better than expected. The company’s expected earnings of $2.20 to $2.35 per share were above the consensus estimate of $2.15, and revenue of $15.7 billion to $15.9 billion topped the $15.4 billion estimate.
Despite the strong full-year outlook, the earnings report and outlook rattled investors, sending shares down more than 14%. The selloff didn’t last long, though, and the stock has since moved higher, finishing up in nine of the last 12 trading sessions. Shares are now trading around $25, up more than 7% since the earnings report.
AI News Gives the Stock A Boost
Investors got another dose of optimism this week after CNBC reported that shoppers using Gemini to search for clothing will soon be able to buy items directly through the AI platform. This makes Gap the first major fashion retailer to allow consumers to check out without being redirected to the retailer’s website. Gap is also testing an AI-based sizing tool designed to help online shoppers pick the right fit.
The move comes as retailers seek new ways to leverage AI to drive online sales and keep customers engaged. It’s still too early to know how much the AI integration will affect results, but the roughly 3% jump in the stock after the report suggests Wall Street liked the development.
Wall Street Seems Confident in Gap’s Turnaround Plan
Wall Street has been encouraged by the progress of Gap’s three-stage turnaround plan. The first phase, which has played out over the past two years, focused on fixing the fundamentals. The company says it is now entering the next phase, building momentum, with the final stage focused on accelerating growth.
So far, the plan appears to be working. Gap posted several better-than-expected quarters in 2024 and 2025, with improving comps, stronger margins, and a healthier balance sheet.
Analysts seem optimistic as the company continues to execute its strategy. Gap has a Moderate Buy consensus rating, with 12 Buy ratings and five Holds. Citigroup and JPMorgan raised their price targets after the fourth-quarter report, although Weiss Ratings downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy.
The current 12-month consensus price target of $30.62 suggests about 22% upside from recent levels. Valuation also points to potential room for gains, as Gap trades at lower multiples than much of the retail industry, with a P/E near 11 versus about 17 for the sector. The price-to-sales ratio of around 0.62 is also below the industry’s roughly 1.12.
While the stock could move higher if fundamentals continue to improve and the turnaround keeps gaining traction, the recent pattern of trading on headlines suggests the ride may stay bumpy until Gap can show more consistent growth.
