What housing signals will Home Depot and Lowe's reveal?

On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss what to watch in this week’s earnings report from Nvidia NVDA and whether this AI stock is a buy before earnings. They also preview earnings for Palo Alto Networks PANW, Walmart WMT, Home Depot HD, Lowe’s LOW, and Medtronic MDT. Tune in to find out if Advanced Micro Devices AMD is an AI stock to invest in after Morningstar’ sizable fair value increase and which former stock pick may be the target of a private takeover.
