As of June 28, 2026, the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) is down 2.2% over five days, while the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) has fallen 3.5%. Yet within these broad benchmarks, a handful of names—Shopify up 8.2%, CrowdStrike up 3.8%, Cloudflare up 8.6%, Datadog up 8.3%—are sharply outperforming both the index and mega-cap laggards like Apple down 4.5% and NVIDIA down 7.7%. Lucas and Luna unpack the growing divergence: why high-revenue-visibility cloud stocks are commanding premium multiples while hardware-dependent AI plays and consumer electronics names are getting punished. They dig into the Kashkari rate-hike signal, the rotation from mega-cap growth to quality growth, and how the 'grow at any cost' era is giving way to a regime where revenue quality—recurring, predictable, and high-margin—is the only thing the market is rewarding. A must-listen for growth investors trying to navigate the split.

Lucas and Luna dissect a striking divergence in growth stocks as of late June 2026. While NVIDIA and Tesla have dropped 7.7% and 6.3% over the past five days, Cloudflare, Datadog, and Shopify are up 8.6%, 8.3%, and 8.2% respectively. They explore why the market is rotating from AI hardware into software and infrastructure plays, using specific price moves and the backdrop of Kashkari's rate hike signal. The hosts discuss the 'show me the revenue' shift, the role of enterprise adoption cycles, and what this means for long-term growth portfolios.

Lucas and Luna break down why growth stocks are already discounting a 2026 rate hike, even before Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari's hawkish comments this week. They examine how the sell-off in high-duration names like Palantir and Apple reflects a new regime where the market front-runs Fed policy. Using data from the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) down 2% and ARKK's 4% drop, they explain why Shopify and CrowdStrike are holding up better. The hosts also look at how the SpaceX Nasdaq-100 inclusion is creating a two-tier growth market. A subtle donation segment ties the episode's theme of market foresight to listener support that keeps the show ad-free.

Lucas and Luna drill into the split personality of growth stocks in late June 2026. While Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari warns of a rate hike this year, high-multiple names like Shopify and CrowdStrike are holding up while Apple and Microsoft lag. The hosts unpack why the market is pricing in a 'good-news-is-bad-news' regime for mega-caps but treating software growth stocks differently. They look at the CrowdStrike-Shopify cohort versus the rest, and argue that the quality filter is now about revenue visibility and free cash flow conversion. A concrete case: CrowdStrike trades near $701 with a P/E above 80, yet the market is giving it a pass. Why? Because recurring subscription revenue with zero churn risk gets a different multiple in a rising-rate environment than hardware-dependent models. The episode ends with a forward-looking question about whether the IPO pipeline — especially SpaceX — will force a re-rating of the entire growth tier.

Lucas and Luna break down the sharp divergence in growth stocks as of late June 2026. While mega-cap tech like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia have dropped 6-8% in the last five days, Shopify is up 2.5%. They explore why the market is punishing high-valuation, high-expectation names while rewarding companies with clear AI monetization stories. The conversation centers on the Fed's mixed signals—Goolsbee saying inflation is still too high, Williams seeing easing—and how that uncertainty is filtering growth stocks by quality. They also touch on Palantir's extreme 16.5% drop and what it says about premium multiples in a rate-sensitive environment. A deep but accessible dive into what separates the growth winners from the losers right now.

Palantir Technologies has plummeted 13 percent in the last five days, wiping out months of gains and raising serious questions about its growth narrative. Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers: Palantir's stock now trades at 48 times forward sales, down from over 70 times earlier this year. They compare Palantir's situation to high-growth peers like Shopify and CrowdStrike, which have held their valuations better. The hosts explore three forces behind the multiple compression: slowing government contract growth, the shift from hype to fundamentals in AI stocks, and Palantir's unusual stock-based compensation structure. They also discuss what this means for growth investors who bought Palantir at the peak. A focused, data-driven look at how one of the most hyped AI companies is being repriced by the market.

Episode 70 of Growth Stocks with Fexingo examines the dramatic divergence in mega-cap growth stocks as of June 24, 2026. Over the past week, Microsoft is down 5.1 percent, Alphabet has dropped 7.3 percent, and Amazon has fallen 4.8 percent. But Lucas and Luna dig into why Microsoft's decline signals a deeper shift: the cloud market is repricing growth expectations as AI workloads mature. They break down the specific factors hurting Microsoft's premium multiple, including slower Azure AI revenue growth against Amazon's AWS cost optimization wins and Google Cloud's emerging AI developer ecosystem. Using data from tickers MSFT, AMZN, and GOOGL, the hosts also connect the selloff to Palantir's 12.4 percent weekly drop and overall growth stock weakness, with the Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) down 2.9 percent. Listeners will walk away understanding why the market is now rewarding execution over ambition in big tech AI.
