      Coherent Q4: AI Optics Keeps Growing, but Capacity Must Deliver

      $Coherent(COHR)$ fiscal year 2026 fourth-quarter results were strong. Revenue, profit and next-quarter guidance all beat market forecasts. The debate has moved from whether AI optical demand is real to whether Coherent can add capacity on time and how much growth is already priced into the stock. Q4 revenue reached $2.046 billion, up 33.8% year over year and 13.3% quarter over quarter, passing $2 billion for the first time. Non-GAAP gross margin was 40.2%, up 2.15 percentage points from a year ago. Non-GAAP operating profit rose 62% to $446 million, while adjusted earnings per share grew 74% to $1.74.

      Why Intel Needs A $15B Stock Offering? The Concise Analysis

      $Intel(INTC)$announced a $15 billion common stock offering, with underwriters holding a 30-day option for an additional $2.25 billion in shares, bringing total potential proceeds to $17.25 billion. Funds will support growth initiatives including AI computing, Physical AI, custom chips, advanced packaging and foundry services, plus capital expenditures and working capital. Shares fell ~4% on the news, a typical reaction. Stock offerings dilute existing shareholders, and with Intel in a heavy investment phase, markets naturally worry about future fundraising. However, paired with just-released Q2 results, the offering signals Intel may accelerate 14A and advanced packaging capacity buildout. CEO Pat Gelsinger previously set two condi

      Sandisk: Record Results, Softer Guidance, and the NAND Cycle Question

      Sandisk’s FY2026 Q4 results were exceptional. The stock still fell about 3% after hours because FY2027 Q1 revenue guidance missed elevated expectations. How's Q4? Q4 revenue reached $8.97B, up 51% QoQ and 372% YoY. It beat the $8.71B consensus and Goldman Sachs’ $8.84B estimate. Non-GAAP gross margin was 84.6%, versus 83.6% consensus, while adjusted EPS of $39.25 beat consensus by 10.7%. The operating leverage was unusually strong. Revenue rose from roughly $1.9B a year ago to almost $9B, while cost of revenue stayed near $1.38B. Operating expenses increased only about 20%, driving operating income above $7B. Adjusted free cash flow reached $5.04B, equal to 56% of revenue. Data centre demand drove the quarter. Segment revenue reached $2.98B, about 14 times the prior-year level. Edge remain

      $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ is scheduled to report its Q2 2026 results after the market closes on 4 August.

      PLTR Q2 Preview: Strong Numbers Are Expected, but the Stock Still Has a Lot to Prove

      $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$will report its Q2 2026 results after the US market closes on 3 August. Expectations are already high. The key question is no longer whether the company can beat its own guidance. Investors will be watching the size of the beat, the full-year guidance update, and whether commercial growth can remain strong enough to support the current valuation. Palantir delivered revenue of US$1.63 billion in Q1, up 85% year on year. Operating income reached US$754 million, while net income attributable to common shareholders was US$871 million. Operating cash flow was close to US$900 million. For Q2, management guided for revenue of US$1.797 billion to US$1.801 billion. Adjusted operating income is expected to c

      META Q2 Preview: Strong Ads, Heavy AI Spending

      Takeaway Meta’s core ad business is still strong. AI is already helping user engagement, ad delivery and conversion. The main debate is whether this can justify a 2026 capex budget of US$125–145 billion. The bull case is clear: better recommendations, stronger ad tools and higher GPU use can support growth. The bear case is also valid: external AI services may face falling prices, high competition and weak returns. For Q2, the key numbers are ad impressions, ad pricing, operating margin, capex and free cash flow. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ will report Q2 2026 results after market close on 29 July. Market estimates point to revenue of about US$60.2 billion, close to the top end of management’s US$58–61 billion guidance. Revenue gr

      Alphabet Q2 preview: $190 billion of spending has to show up in revenue and cash flow

      Takeaways Q1 revenue rose 22%, while operating income grew 30%. Cloud revenue grew 63% and margin reached 32.9%. Search revenue rose 19%, with a lower traffic acquisition cost ratio. Q1 capex consumed 78% of operating cash flow. Forward P/E is about 24.6 times, while free cash flow yield is only 1.5%. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ reports second quarter results after the close on July 22. Wall Street expects revenue of roughly $116.9 billion, up 21.3% year over year, with EPS of $2.90. That EPS will look much lower than the $5.11 reported in Q1. The comparison is misleading. Equity investment gains added $28.7 billion to Q1 net income and $2.35 to EPS. I would strip those gains out and concentrate on operating income, free cash flow and the gro

      Tesla Q2 Preview: Strong Deliveries, Heavy Spending, Flying SpaceX

      Key Takeaways Q2 deliveries rose 34% QoQ to 480,126 vehicles. Deliveries exceeded production by 28,368 units, helping reduce inventory. Revenue may rise 23% QoQ, while gross margin may fall to 19.5%. Energy storage deployment jumped 53% QoQ to 13.5GWh. Q2 free cash flow may fall to negative US$3.25 billion. Capex may reach US$6.70 billion, equal to 24% of revenue. Robotaxi, FSD and Optimus still need clearer operating data. Terafab may support Tesla’s chip supply, but could add funding pressure.
