Bad: High Capex: Capex increased 110% YoY in Q3 2025, or 105% in the first three quarters of this year. High Estimated Capex: Meta expects 2026 capital expenditure (Capex) to increase significantly.

$9.2 trillion of U.S. government debt will mature in 2025, with $6.5 trillion maturing in June alone.The U.S. government will need to roll over (refinance) a large portion of this debt, essentially borrowing new money to repay maturing bonds.Trump’s Pressure for Rate CutsTrump wants the Fed to cut interest rates, hoping this will lower government borrowing costs (bond yields).The aim is to minimize interest expenses on the newly issued debt in June 2025.But Fed Cuts Don’t Guarantee Lower Long-Term YieldsFed rate cuts help more on the short end of the yield curve; long-end yields may remain sticky or even rise if inflation expectations stay elevated or market confidence in U.S. fiscal credibility weakens.Investors in long-duration Treasuries demand a higher yield if they fear inflation or d

Source: CNBC, 26 April 2025Here’s how the $Alphabet(GOOG)$ did in 1Q 2025:Year-on-year (YoY) growth in revenue and operating income has been uneven.In 1Q 2025, revenue grew 12% YoY, while operating income rose 20.16%. However, both figures reflect a slowdown compared to 1Q 2024, when revenue and operating income grew 15.41% and 46.26%, respectively.Operating income has maintained YoY growth of over 20% for seven consecutive quarters, though the 1Q 2025 figure marks the slowest increase during that period. However, Operating Margin reached 34% in the latest quarter — the highest level in five years.Both gross margin and operating margin improved in 1Q 2025, rising to 59.7% and 33.92%, up from 58.14% and 31.63% in 1Q 2024.That said, operating margi

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ plunged 9.05% and 9.75% respectively last week, due to the sweeping U.S. tariffs imposed.Major market movers included $Apple(AAPL)$ (-13.6%), $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ (-14%), $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ (-11%), $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ (-11.3%), $Microsoft(MSFT)$ (-5%), $Broadcom(AVGO)$ (-13.5%), UnitedHealth (+1.8%), $TJX Companies(TJX)$ (+3.3%),

The way the tariff rates are calculated is downright absurd U.S. appeared to have divided the trade deficit by imports from a given country to arrive at tariff rates for individual countries. For example, U.S. goods trade deficit with China / total US import from China = $295 billion / 439 billion = 67%  Trump may want trade negotiation The base 10 percent tariffs will take effect on April 5, while the higher reciprocal rates (above 10 percent) will come into effect on April 9. Trump opens door for trade negotiation by saying, ““Likewise to all of the foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs, I say, terminate your own tariffs, drop your barriers. Don't manipulate your currencies

The steeper-than-expected sweeping tariffs imposed by the US may weigh on Asian equities in the short term, as they dampen the regional growth outlook and raise the risk of retaliatory tariffs from affected Asian countries. The Asia-Pacific region, characterized by its export-driven economies, is expected to face headwinds if global trade activity slows. Chinese-owned factories may also need to reconsider their relocation strategies, as Southeast Asian countries—including Vietnam (46%) and Cambodia (49%)—are also subject to higher US tariffs. China China now faces a hefty 34% reciprocal tariff on exports to the US, in addition to the existing 20% tariff.
