Walmart's Beat and Valuation Disconnect

On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss why a Fed rate cut in December is starting to look unlikely. They also unpack new research about Palo Alto Networks PANW and Walmart WMT after earnings. And they cover whether Nvidia NVDA is a buy after another stunning quarter.

They take a deeper-than-usual dive into the audience mailbag, answering questions about AI and data center stocks, lithium and Albemarle ALB, and uncertainty and when to take profits. They wrap up the episode with six overvalued stocks to sell.
