Seasonal setup into H2 midterm-cycle playbook -where positioning, liquidity, and budget cycles tend to matter more than headlines.
$AAPL (+13.8%) - classic H2 catalyst profile
• iPhone cycle ramps into Sep/Oct shipments
• buybacks act as structural downside support during volatility
$NVDA (+12.3%) - high-beta acceleration name
• early-year capex hesitation often resets demand
• Q3/Q4 typically captures deferred AI/semicap spend expansion
$MSFT (+9.0%) - compounding enterprise engine
• stable demand through uncertainty
• late-year budget deployment drives incremental upside
$AMZN (+2.8%) - steady recovery profile
• retail seasonality supports H2 strength
• AWS spending stabilizes as enterprises re-accelerate cloud usage
$GOOGL (+1.8%) - lagging recovery narrative
• ad budgets improve slowly post-uncertainty
• regulatory overhang tends to fade, but upside is less explosive
H2 isn’t about new stories - it’s about which cash-flow engines re-accelerate when uncertainty clears.
