Dividend Dynamo or Dividend Yield Trap?
Over the last several trading sessions, the market has been primarily driven by trade and geopolitical headlines first, economic data second, followed by corporate earnings. There was some trade relief as we headed into last weekend, with President Trump stating Friday he would delay tariffs on imports of cars and car parts from allies like Europe and Japan for six months.

Qorvo's stock bounces sharply, despite profit and revenue guidance cut on Huawei ban
Shares of Qorvo Inc. bounced 8.7% in morning trade Tuesday, following a 16.5% plunge over the past three sessions, although the chip maker cut its profit and sales outlook in the wake of U.S. actions against China-based Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. Qorvo lowered its earnings-per-share guidance to $1.15 at the midpoint of its range from $1.30 at the midpoint, compared with the FactSet consensus of $1.29. the revenue outlook was lowered to a range of $730 million to $750 million from $780 million to $800 million, compared with the FactSet consensus of $785 million. For the second quarter, Qorvo said it now assumes no sales to Huawei, and projects revenue to be "roughly flat" with the first quarter, while the current FactSet consensus of $826 million implies growth of 10% to 13% above the new first-quarter guidance. Qorvo's stock has rallied 9.7% year to date, while the PHLX Semiconductor Index has climbed 19.4% and the S&P 500 has gained 14.0%.
