Nike Crashes, Air Canada CEO Exit & GoEasy Finally Reports Earnings

In this episode, we break down a volatile week in the markets as the Nasdaq briefly entered correction territory before rebounding sharply, highlighting just how headline-driven markets have become amid geopolitical uncertainty. We discuss the growing divergence beneath the surface of major indices, with equal-weighted strategies outperforming as mega-cap tech names experience significant drawdowns. We also revisit the AI investment debate and how rising energy costs could impact the long-term economics of data center buildouts. On the earnings side, we dive into Nike's disappointing results, including margin compression, declining sales in key regions like China, and a challenging turnaround strategy as the company pivots back toward wholesale. We also examine Air Canada's leadership change, with CEO Michael Rousseau announcing his retirement amid rising fuel costs and what looks to be a difficult operating environment for airlines going forward. Finally, we close with a deep dive into GoEasy's latest earnings release. While much of the damage was pre-announced, major concerns remain around LendCare, surging charge-offs, restated financials, and what this means for the company's future. We break down what's changed, what hasn't, and whether this situation could worsen from here. Tickers of stocks discussed: Nike (NKE), Air Canada (AC.TO), GoEasy (GSY.TO), Shopify (SHOP.TO), Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOGL)
