They’re here to tell us why, and where they see opportunity in this market. Plus, Meta is down big amid weak revenue guidance and big AI spending plans. Did that report just set the tone for Alphabet? We'll talk about that, and look at the names that are set to benefit from Meta's AI capex commitment. And there's one stock defying the selloff today. It's up 6% right now, and up 600% in a year. Yesterday, one of our guests called it a top pick. So we invited the CEO on. He joins us for an exclusive interview ahead.

Meanwhile, new home sales notched their highest reading since September, as builders pull back on prices and offer incentives to offset higher rates. We’ll talk to the CEO of real estate developer Howard Hughes Holdings about the demand trends he’s seeing.
