🌟🌟🌟I believe $Intel(INTC)$ will close Green post earnings on Thursday. 2 dominant tailwinds are pushing investors to bid up shares ahead of the release: The recent restructuring moves under CEO Lip Bu Tan which includes strategic layoffs within its data center and AI Group, is treated as good move to cut costs. Broader semiconductor demand remains robust. Major research firms including Wedbush, have signaled that growing enterprise reliance on standard CPUs for Agentic AI inference workloads could easily drive a higher quarterly revenue beat. Intel is up a massive 160.5% year todate but is still well below its 52 week high of USD 142.34. So there is much upside potential.
TSLA most important number is FSD subs grew 56% vs. 51% March. That growth should accelerate in September because of the huge delivery beat in June. In the investor deck they report “with over 55% of new deliveries including FSD subscriptions”. I assume they are talking about paid subs, not the free one month trail that comes with new Tesla's. If that’s the case that attach rates are 55% in the US, that is higher my estimate of sub 10% attach rates late in 2024. This underscores how much FSD has improved. I believe about 20% of global Tesla’s with Hardware 3 now subscribe to FSD. That number likely goes to 85% long term.
Why AT&T’s Convergence Strategy Is Finally Producing Measurable Growth
$AT&T Inc(T)$’s second-quarter results suggest its decision to combine wireless, fibre and fixed-wireless services is beginning to produce more than defensive subscriber retention. Revenue increased 2.3% year over year to $31.6 billion. Adjusted operating income rose to $7.5 billion, adjusted EBITDA increased 5.2% to $12.3 billion and free cash flow improved to $4.7 billion from $4.4 billion. Adjusted earnings reached $0.65 per share, compared with $0.54 a year earlier. AT&T’s July 22 earnings release provides the financial and subscriber figures. The most important development was customer growth. AT&T added: 432,000 postpaid phone subscribers 367,000 fibre customers 279,000 fixed-wireless customers More than one million customers across
Why Texas Instruments’ Record Quarter Was Not Enough for Investors
$Texas Instruments(TXN)$ delivered broad-based semiconductor recovery and stronger-than-expected guidance, but the shares declined after hours. The reaction shows how far expectations had risen during the stock’s preceding rally. Second-quarter revenue increased 23% year over year and 13% sequentially to $5.46 billion. Operating profit rose 48% to $2.31 billion, while net income increased 53% to $1.98 billion. Earnings reached $2.14 per share, including a five-cent benefit not included in management’s original guidance. Texas Instruments’ July 22 results provide the figures. Growth was led by industrial, automotive and data-centre customers. That breadth is significant because Texas Instruments does not depend primarily on selling leading-edge AI a
Why IBM’s Guidance Cut Exposes a Divide in Enterprise AI Spending
$IBM(IBM)$’s second-quarter results reveal that corporate AI spending remains strong but highly selective. Enterprises are prioritising computing infrastructure while delaying some software, consulting and mainframe decisions. Quarterly revenue increased only 1% to $17.16 billion. GAAP net income was $2.2 billion, while adjusted earnings reached $2.93 per share. IBM reduced its constant-currency 2026 revenue-growth forecast from more than 5% to 4%–5%, although it maintained guidance for free cash flow to increase by approximately $1 billion year over year. IBM’s official July 22 release contains the results and revised outlook. The segment figures explain the disappointment: Software revenue increased 5% to $7.76 billion. Consulting revenue was app
Why Alphabet’s Cloud Acceleration Is No Longer Enough to Silence Its AI-Spending Critics
$Alphabet(GOOG)$’s second-quarter results presented investors with a striking contradiction. The company’s artificial-intelligence investments are producing some of the fastest growth in its history, yet the scale of spending required to sustain that growth is beginning to overshadow the operating performance. $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ released its results on July 22, 2026, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue increased 24% year over year to $119.8 billion, marking the company’s 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Google Services revenue rose 15% to $94.5 billion, including 17% growth in Search and other revenue, 13% growth in YouTube advertising and 15% growth in subscriptions, platforms an
Why Tesla’s Record Deliveries Have Not Solved Its Cash-Flow Problem
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$’s second-quarter results showed that stronger vehicle deliveries can revive revenue without necessarily repairing profitability or cash generation. The company is selling more vehicles and expanding its energy business, but it is simultaneously financing one of the most expensive strategic transformations in the public market. Tesla released its second-quarter financial results after the market closed on July 22, 2026, following its July 2 production and delivery update. The company delivered more than 480,000 vehicles during the quarter and deployed a record 13.5 gigawatt-hours of energy-storage products. Tesla’s investor-relations page provides the official second-quarter shareholder materials and webcast. Quarterly revenue
Why UnitedHealth’s Recovery Is Becoming More Credible but Not Yet Complete
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$’s second-quarter earnings provided the clearest evidence yet that its operational recovery is gaining traction. Medical costs improved, guidance increased and cash generation remained strong. However, the business still operates with limited room for error because small changes in healthcare utilisation can move billions of dollars through its cost structure. UnitedHealth announced its results on July 16, 2026, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue was $112.0 billion, operating earnings reached $8.0 billion and adjusted earnings were $6.38 per share. Management raised its full-year adjusted earnings outlook to between $19.50 and $20.00 per share, compared with guidance above $18.25 after the first quarter and $17.75 at th
Why Bank of America Is Benefiting From More Than Just Higher Interest Rates
$Bank of America(BAC)$’s second-quarter results showed that its earnings recovery is becoming broader. Net interest income remains important, but trading, investment banking, asset management and balance-sheet growth all contributed to the improvement. That diversification matters because the interest-rate environment has become less predictable. Bank of America reported results on July 14, 2026, covering the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue, net of interest expense, reached $31.6 billion. Net income was $9.1 billion, diluted earnings were $1.21 per share and return on tangible common equity rose to 17%. The figures are available through Bank of America’s second-quarter results portal and its official earnings announcement. Revenue increased ap

$GOOG Cloud Is Booming, Cash Flow Is Paying the Price
For 1st time ever, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ reported negative cash flow. It can easily crash 10% in right now. But, here's why its actually bullish: In 1-2 years $GOOG should be at $600+ and here's why: 1. Revenue: $119.8B, up 24% — BULLISH The first thing that jumps out at me is that this is Alphabet's 12th straight quarter of double digit growth, and it's accelerating, not fading. A company this size growing 24% shouldn't be normal, but here we are. US revenue alone ripped 32%. That's my green light right at the top. 2. Google Cloud: +82% to $24.8B — BULLISH This is the number I care about most, and it's the headline everyone will lead with. Cloud didn't just grow, it accelerated into the 80s on enterprise AI demand. When I'm sizing up whether Google is

Intel Q2 Earnings Preview: Options Betting on a Run to $110
I. Fundamentals: Two Engines Determine Valuation The core focus of this earnings report is whether the two main threads — Server CPU and Foundry — can deliver a turning point. 1. Server CPU: The Core Engine for Earnings Growth Although declining PC sales pose a headwind, Intel is offsetting this with stronger CPU pricing power and AI demand. More critically, Agentic AI is expected to significantly boost server CPU demand, with the GPU/CPU ratio projected to drop from 2× to 1.1–1.4×. Leveraging the strong stickiness of x86 in the enterprise sector, Intel is well-positioned to become a key beneficiary of enterprise-grade Agentic AI. Server CPU revenue is projected to grow at a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2030. 2. Foundry Business: A Turning Point Has Emerged Front-end manu
GOOGL and TSLA sink after earnings; Capitalise using Alphabet, Tesla, and SpaceX DLCs
Big Tech earnings season kicked off on 22 July, with Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) reporting after the US market close. $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ posted record revenue and beat earnings expectations, but shares slipped 2.2% overnight (as of 10AM Singapore time) as investors reacted to higher projected capital expenditure. The move lifted the Alphabet 3x Short DLC by 6.6%, while the Alphabet 3x Long DLC fell by a similar magnitude. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , meanwhile, disappointed with second-quarter earnings that missed expectations, as a sharp decline in operating profitability overshadowed revenue growth. Its shares fell 3.8% overnight, driving the Tesla 3x Short DLC up 11.4%, while the Tesla 3x Long DL
$PLTR $DDOG $STX $CRWV $BE: Six Charts Every Momentum Trader Should Watch
Not every stock is moving the same way. Some are building bullish continuation patterns, others are testing critical support, while a handful of momentum trades continue to outperform. Here are the key setups worth watching right now. 1. $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Coiling in a Mini Bull Flag Ahead of a Potential 9-Month Trend Channel Breakout One of the strongest 1-month RS mega liquid name in the list. Mini bull flag with 10 sessions of declining volume. Has been pushing higher low prints for the week. 2. $Datadog(DDOG)$ didn't see it fail so fast. could still bounce and rebuild from 50-MA 3. $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$
I'm all for concentration and against over diversification. I'm the biggest voucher out there that owning individual stocks is the way forward vs ETFs. We're in a stock pickers market more than any time in history: $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ YTD 220% $Ouster Inc.(OUST)$ YTD 82% $Micron Technology(MU)$ YTD 238% etc etc vs $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ at 9.7% BUT It's sad to see this whole "all-in" investing with one or two stocks becoming 100% of people's net worth become a norm. Yes there are success stories. But there are FAR MORE disaster stories. I
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! Just as bullish on $Ouster Inc.(OUST)$ today at $40, as I was at ~$23 (my average cost). A reminder on how I see it at $180+ -> $950M in revenue by 2030 (41% CAGR which is just above managements midpoint guidance). -> 35% EBITDA margins on $950M in revenue gives you $333M in EBITDA. -> $Cognex(CGNX)$ traded at 33x NTM EBITDA (on lower margins and lower growth). -> Give $Ouster Inc.(OUST)$ a 38x NTM EBITDA and we have an EV of $12.65B. > Add in $250M in net cash -> 78.6M shares would be 4% dilution from today to 2030 which I think is
$Alphabet(GOOG)$$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Google Cloud results are incredible, but the rest of the revenue was pretty ho-hum. Alphabet going negative FCF seems like a turning point in this buildout. I don't know if it's good or bad, but if they're willing to go into debt to win... I wouldn't want to be a competitor. 82% growth for Google Cloud is crazy, but we have crossed the critical FCF going negative. Seems like something. PS: What are your weaknesses as an investor? Create constraints around them. I am terrible at timing the market when I buy and my biggest mistake is selling a great company early. Solution: 1. Buy once per month 2. Default to "never sell" Keep it simple. Sentiment is correlated with a sto
GOLD: Bulls and Bears are Engaged in a Fierce Tug-of-war in the 4120–4130 Range
1 $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$ The market has moved away from the previous extreme one-sided surge and has entered a phase where the rebound is being held back following a wide-range consolidation and bottoming process. Bulls and bears are engaged in a fierce tug-of-war in the 4120–4130 range. It is expected that the market will continue to consolidate within a wide range ahead of the New York session; both buy and sell positions will offer decent profits for short-term trading!

CEO $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ says this stock is undervalued. It's down 66% and ON SALE: $ServiceNow(NOW)$ reports tonight after the close and it might be the most mispriced company right now. Down about 66% from its all time high near $240 while the business still compounds. Why I think it runs back toward the highs: This was multiple compression, not a broken business. Still growing ~22% year over year at a forward multiple cut in half. Rerating waiting to happen. AI is the catalyst nobody is pricing. Now Assist and AI Control Tower are turning into real ACV, new CRM bookings up 5x year over year. Four straight beats, sentiment washed out, analysts still buy rated with targets well above spot. A clean beat and rais
