These stocks are overbought after a strong May for Wall Street and could be due for a pullback
A few stocks, including a handful of semiconductor giants, could take a hit after riding the market's rebound in May. The market closed out a big winning month with the S & P 500 climbed more than 6%, its largest monthly advance since late 2023 and leaving the benchmark little changed on the year. The Nasdaq Composite surged 9.6% this month, while the 30-stock Dow rose nearly 4%. Much of the gain was powered by a softening in the trade war after the U.S. and China agreed to temporarily step back from the brink and a trade deal between the U.S. and UK sparked hopes more deals could be in the offing. Heading into June, sentiment remains uneasy as investors are buffetted by daily tariff-related headlines and await news of any progress in trade relations between the U.S. and China, the world's two largest economies. CNBC looked for the most overbought and oversold stocks on Wall Street by weighing their 14-day relative strength index, or RSI, a momentum indicator, using data from LSEG. An RSI above 70 suggests a stock could be overbought and could be due for a near-term decline, while an RSI below 30 suggests a stock could be oversold and see a short-term rebound. Johnson Controls was the most overbought name this week, with an RSI of 86.9. The company, which manufactures and installs commercial HVAC systems, soared 20.8% this month and is higher by more than 28% year to date. Johnson Controls in early May reported fiscal second-quarter earnings and revenue above analysts' estimates, according to FactSet. Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to buy in a May 11 note to clients, citing "significant operational improvement opportunities" at Johnson Controls since a new chief executive officer took over in March. Semiconductor company Broadcom , which popped 26% in May, also turned up as overbought with an RSI of 79.3. The rally in Broadcom comes ahead of the company's second-quarter earnings expected on June 11. Analysts polled by LSEG have a consensus price target about 1% below where it's trading, suggesting its valuation is running too high. Broadcom — known for its custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit chips — is among several technology names that have rebounded in the recent market comeback. Other stocks that look overbought include GE Aerospace and Intuit , both of which also made the overbought segment last week . Shares of GE Aerospace and Intuit jumped 22% and 20% in May, respectively. UnitedHealth continues its recent run of appearing deeply oversold with a current RSI of about 20. The stock tumbled another 26.6% this month after sliding 21.4% in April. Cooper Companies and Copart were also oversold, with RSI's of 24.5 and 20.9, respectively. Shares of Cooper Companies, a medical devices and contact lens maker, were down 16.4% this month, bringing this year's loss close to 26%. Shares retreated after Cooper lowered its full-year organic growth forecast, even as second-quarter revenue and profit beat expectations.

SEALSQ Updates on the Negotiations to Acquire 100% of IC'ALPS
Geneva, Switzerland, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today shares an update on the exclusive negotiations entered to acquire 100% of the share capital and voting rights of IC'ALPS SAS ('IC'ALPS'), an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit ('ASIC') design and supply specialist based in Grenoble, France ('the Acquisition'). These exclusive negotiations result from the execution of a Letter of Intent with IC'ALPS and its shareholders (the 'Sellers'). This proposed strategic Acquisition (subject to the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement and satisfaction of closing conditions) is expected to reinforce SEALSQ's commitment to advancing its ASIC development to meet the growing demand in the sector and would add approximately 100 highly skilled staff based out of IC'ALPS' current centers in Grenoble and Toulouse. SEALSQ and the Sellers have reached an agreement in principle to sign a Share Purchase Agreement ('SPA') based on the following elements: A fixed purchase price of EUR 12.5 million (subject to a 'No Leakage' undertaking clause) comprised of EUR 10 million consideration payable in cash and EUR 2.5 million consideration to be paid to one of the Sellers in fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, the number of which would be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of an Ordinary Share of SEALSQ on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the ninety trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition. An earn-out payment in Ordinary Shares of up to EUR 4 million in value based on IC'ALPS achieving revenue in excess of EUR 11 million in the twelve months ending on December 31, 2025 (revenue to be accounted for in accordance with US GAAP and audited by SEALSQ's statutory auditors). The Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ to be issued as part of the equity consideration would be subject to a mandatory holding period of one hundred and eighty days from their date of issuance, during which the relevant Seller would be restricted from selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of the SEALSQ Ordinary Shares. Conditions precedent to the closing of the Acquisition include, among others, approval of the Acquisition by the French Ministry of the Economy in accordance with articles L.151-3 and R.151-1 et seq of the French Financial and Monetary Code (code monétaire et financier). During the year ended December 31, 2024, based solely on the draft unaudited revenue of IC'ALPS provided to SEALSQ using French GAAP was EUR9,756,000 with a net loss of EUR2,016,000. In the previous year, the audited revenue of IC'ALPS, based solely on the audited revenue of IC'ALPS provided to SEALSQ, using French GAAP was EUR 8,465,000 with a net income of EUR318,000. As further detailed below, upon completion of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that SEALSQ would prepare full audited financial statements using US GAAP for both years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and that this might lead to material adjustment to these numbers. We note that the net loss of IC'ALPS under French GAAP for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 included sales to SEALSQ in an amount of approximately EUR 615,000. Excluding the sales to SEALSQ, the net loss of IC'ALPS under French GAAP for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 would amount to a net loss in the amount of EUR (2,631,000), based on the draft unaudited revenue of IC'ALPS provided to SEALSQ. We note that the net income of IC'ALPS under French GAAP for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 included sales to SEALSQ in an amount of approximately EUR 1,168,000. Excluding the sales to SEALSQ, the net income of IC'ALPS under French GAAP for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 would amount to a net loss in the amount of EUR (850,000) based on the audited revenue of IC'ALPS provided to SEALSQ. Although the conversion of the financial information of IC'ALPS from French GAAP to US GAAP has not been initiated, we expect that material adjustments may arise upon conversion to US GAAP in relation to French GAAP based net sales, operating expenses and income tax income reflected in the IC'ALPS income statement for twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and in relation to French GAAP based intangible assets, current liabilities, and pension and debt liabilities reflected in the balance sheet as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, as reflected in the numbers provided by IC'ALPS to SEALSQ and disclosed in the preceding paragraphs.

This guide, brought to you by the expertise of MineShop, will walk you through the essentials of starting crypto mining, focusing on choosing the right hardware to set you up for success. Understanding Crypto Mining: The Basics The foundation of this essay starts by explaining the basics of cryptocurrency mining processes. Mining exists as the network process that validates blockchain transactions. The successful solution of complex mathematical puzzles through mining computers leads miners to add new transactions as blockchain blocks while granting them cryptocurrency rewards. The mining procedure secures the network as it maintains a decentralized structure. The mining process represents more than a basic operation that can be handled through laptop reviews and reward collection. The cryptographic challenges implemented in mining require large amounts of computational processing while miners maintain intense competitive relationships. Advanced computer hardware serves specific purposes in this operation. To achieve profit in mining or avoid losses through unnecessary expenses, mining operations need appropriate equipment. Why Hardware Matters in Crypto Mining Your mining operation relies heavily on the hardware selection process. The equipment selection affects mining speed while defining your electrical usage and deciding if asset generation yields financial success. The urge to reduce hardware costs often leads new miners toward buying cheap equipment while risky hardware combination results in both inefficient performance and additional electric expenses and regular breakdowns. The fundamental principle at includes recommending dependable hardware from well-known manufacturers which demonstrates superior performance levels. The mining operation requires hardware that can handle various cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ravencoin and more. We will examine the different categories of mining hardware along with their qualities which make them acceptable for first-time users. Types of Mining Hardware ASIC Miners: ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) miners exist as specialized tools that mine exclusive cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin miners depend on ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) technology since these devices function best when executing the SHA-256 algorithm which Bitcoin blockchain utilizes. ASIC devices stand out as the preferred machine choice for miners because they present unmatched efficiency and power capabilities. Pros: High efficiency, fast processing, ideal for Bitcoin mining. Cons: Expensive upfront cost, limited to specific algorithms. For beginners, ASICs are a great option if you're focused on a single cryptocurrency and have the budget to invest. GPU Mining Rigs: The mining of Ravencoin, as well as Ravencoin and Ergo altcoins, uses Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in a widely accepted manner. GPUs serve as better mining devices than ASICs since they support the mining of multiple cryptocurrencies for people who wish to test different coins. A GPU mining rig operates through the active collaboration of various integrated graphics cards. Pros: Versatile, reusable for gaming or other tasks, good for altcoin mining. Cons: Complex to set up, higher power consumption than ASICs. GPUs are beginner-friendly because they allow you to explore various coins without committing to one algorithm. CPU Mining: The process of Bitcoin mining originally relied on standard computer CPUs for mining operations. CPU mining exists today as an outdated method to extract major cryptocurrencies because of its inefficient nature. New or minor cryptocurrencies may still be mined with CPUs as an option despite the competition levels. Pros: No additional hardware needed, low cost to start. Cons: Extremely slow, not profitable for most cryptocurrencies. Beginners should avoid CPU mining unless targeting niche coins with minimal competition.
