In this episode of The Morning Filter, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss which economic and earnings reports to keep an eye on this week. They cover new research about whether Nvidia can continue its winning ways, if Salesforce is a buy after earnings, and what to make of the AMD/Meta Platforms deal. Tune in to find out which stock saw a big cut in its fair value estimate last week and how to think about Diageo DEO after its dividend reduction.

They unpack what’s going on in the private credit market and what lessons can be found in the Blue Owl mess. Value stocks are outperforming: They talk about a handful that still look relatively attractive and why.
