A direct US-Iran military exchange rattled equity markets, sending the Dow to its worst single-day drop since March while breaking winning streaks for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. The selloff was broad-based, with high-beta names like TSLA, GOOGL, and META absorbing outsized hits as risk-off sentiment dominated. SNDK is a separate story — despite 10.4% revenue growth, it carries a -22.3% net margin and deeply negative EPS, making it vulnerable in a flight-to-quality tape.

The key question is whether this is a one-day shock or the start of a sustained risk-off regime driven by escalating Middle East conflict. Watch oil prices, Strait of Hormuz headlines, and whether TSLA (already reporting negative YoY revenue growth at -2.9%) and GOOGL (strong 15.1% revenue growth, 32.8% net margin) diverge in their recoveries. SNDK's weak profitability profile makes it the most exposed among the named tickers if the selloff deepens.
