C3.AI (NYSE:AI) stock had revenue of $72.4 million for the quarter ending in April. A year earlier, before the AI hullaballoo began, sales were $72.3 million.

The narrative around the strength of the consumer economy is, simply put, nonsense. The reality painted by retail stocks, particularly the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT), is quite different.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is a banking sector disruptor that’s garnered a lot of attention on Wall Street.
