Last night, a historic moment occurred: $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ 's market value surpassed $Apple(AAPL)$ ’s, making it the world’s most valuable company.This isn’t the first time NVIDIA has overtaken Apple.

Meanwhile, Apple is struggling. Its latest iPhone sales are weak, and the company has little to show in terms of AI development.Foxconn, one of Apple’s main manufacturing partners, repo
$Li Auto(LI)$ Li Auto’s Q3 earnings report beat market expectations, with impressive revenue and gross margin results. However, its Q4 revenue guidance fell short, causing the stock to drop 6% pre-market.I had predicted that Q3 performance would exceed expectations, given sales data that outpaced analysts’ estimates. Revenue followed suit, driven by strong sales, with the only uncertainty being gross margin. With analyst expectations for margin set low, Li Auto’s actual Q3 gross margin came in higher, limiting its impact on the stock price. The real focus is now on Q4 guidance.Li Auto projects Q4 revenue at RMB 432-459 billion, a year-on-year growth of 3.5%-10%, below the expected RMB 360 billion. It forecasts sales between 160,000-170,000 units, wi
$Intel(INTC)$ Yesterday, Intel, once a giant in the chip industry, released its third-quarter earnings report, which surpassed expectations, leading to a 7% increase in its stock price.The report revealed that Intel's revenue for the third quarter was $13.28 billion, slightly above the analyst estimate of $13.025 billion. However, due to a significant increase in restructuring and impairment charges, earnings per share fell well below expectations. Since these charges are one-time events, the disappointing profit figures did not overly concern investors.So, has Intel truly emerged from its low point? Will it rebound in the future? Intel was once the leader in the chip market, monopolizing the CPU space. However, as AMD rose and Intel's manufa
