Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving the tape this afternoon.
Momentum stocks just suffered one of their sharpest reversals in five years, and traders who rode that crowded trade higher are now feeling the pain. When positioning gets this stretched, the unwind can be violent — and history suggests the hangover tends to linger longer than the rally that preceded it.
Shifting to the enterprise software space, ServiceNow shares have shed nearly forty percent, but CEO Bill McDermott is pushing back hard on what he's calling Saaspocalypse hysteria. McDermott argues the selloff misreads the company's AI trajectory entirely, and he sees a path to becoming a trillion-dollar enterprise as artificial intelligence becomes the backbone of how businesses run their operations.
And on the stranger side of the tape, eBay has banned a seller account belonging to GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen after he began listing old store signs and used carpeting on the platform. Cohen is trying to cobble together financing for a fifty-six billion dollar bid to acquire eBay — a deal that raises serious questions given GameStop's own market cap sits at roughly eleven billion dollars.
That's the tape.
