To The Moon

A company announces record revenue. Analysts upgrade their forecasts. The stock gets attention. But there is one number I think deserves more attention than it usually receives: the number of shares outstanding. Here is why. Imagine a company generates $100 million in annual profit and has 100 million shares outstanding. That works out to $1 in earnings per share. Now imagine its profit grows to $120 million. Sounds great, right? But during the same period, the company issues another 50 million shares to fund acquisitions, compensate employees or raise capital. Its earnings per share fall to just $0.80. The business is making 20% more profit, yet each share represents a smaller portion of that profit than before. This is the part of investing that can get lost when everyone focuses on reve

Most people think of Uber when they need a ride or dinner delivered. But investors should be looking at something bigger: Can Uber turn everyday convenience into long-term shareholder returns? $Uber(UBER)$ has built a global platform connecting millions of riders, drivers, restaurants and delivery customers. It doesn’t need to own a fleet of cars or restaurants to make money from the activity happening on its platform. And that is what makes the business interesting. 💰 Three Growth Engines to Watch 🚕 1. More Than Rides Uber’s Mobility business connects passengers with drivers, while Uber Eats serves customers ordering meals, groceries and other essentials. Multiple services create more ways to generate revenue. 📢 2. Advertising Potential Busi

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$  is generating enormous amounts of cash, but there is a bigger question investors should be asking: How much of that cash is truly available to return to shareholders? The AI race is changing how investors assess even the strongest companies. Traditionally, free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditure from operating cash flow. It helps investors understand how much money a business has left after funding its operations and physical expansion. But Nvidia’s AI strategy adds another layer: strategic investments in other companies across the AI ecosystem. 🔍 Why Does This Matter? Nvidia isn’t just selling chips. Its investments can help support companies building AI models, data centres, energy infrastructure

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$  $Lumentum(LITE)$  $Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   When semiconductor stocks sell off, it’s tempting to assume the AI trade is losing momentum. But look at Thursday’s movers. CoreWeave jumped 11.72%, Lumentum surged 11.04%, Bloom Energy gained 9.63%, and Nebius climbed 7.73%, even as chip stocks came under pressure. My question: Is the market abandoning AI, or shifting its attention to the infrastructure needed to make AI work? I see four very different investment stories emerging. 🔌 1. Lumentum ($LITE): The connections behind AI AI data centres need more

$Micron Technology(MU)$  $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$  $SK hynix(SKHY)$   Samsung just delivered a record quarter, with operating profit reportedly reaching around 107.4 trillion won. Yet memory stocks sold off on Thursday. SanDisk fell 4.90%, Micron dropped 4.79%, and SK Hynix lost 4.35%. At first glance, this seems contradictory. If memory demand is strong enough to generate record profits, why are investors selling? The answer may lie in what happens next, not what has already happened. 1. The market trades on expectations Stock prices reflect expectations about future earnings, not simply how much money a company made last quarter. Samsun

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  $Broadcom(AVGO)$ $Intel(INTC)$   Thursday’s sell-off raises an interesting question. If AI chip demand still exceeds supply, why are semiconductor stocks falling? Intel dropped 5.34%, Broadcom lost 4.35%, AMD fell 3.90%, and Nvidia declined 2.94%, according to the figures reported in the market update. Meanwhile, AMD CEO Lisa Su has indicated that AI chip demand continues to exceed supply, with production constrained by factors including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), advanced packaging and wafer capacity. The interesting part is that strong d

Not every growth opportunity comes from technology. Sometimes, it comes from a consumer brand trying to win space on supermarket shelves. Today’s stock to watch: $Celsius Holdings, Inc.(CELH)$   Celsius makes energy drinks marketed around fitness and active lifestyles. Its challenge is to turn brand recognition into sustainable sales growth while competing against established giants such as Red Bull and Monster Beverage. 🥤 1. A growing category Energy drinks have become a mainstream consumer product. Celsius has an opportunity to attract customers looking for alternatives to traditional energy drink brands. 📈 2. Distribution is the key Getting more shelf space and reaching more retailers can expand sales. But investors need to watch

Everyone knows Nvidia. Far fewer investors know $Penguin Solutions, Inc.(PENG)$  That’s exactly why I’m watching it. So what does PENG actually do? Penguin Solutions helps customers build, deploy and manage AI data centres. It combines AI computing infrastructure, advanced memory, infrastructure software and services to help enterprises, sovereign AI projects and neocloud providers scale AI workloads.  In simple terms: Nvidia provides the engines. PENG helps build and operate the factory around them. And the latest numbers show why this is getting interesting. PENG reported $567 million of quarterly revenue, up 68% year over year, while adjusted EPS reached $1.00, up 133%. Its memory business was particularly strong, with quarterly sale

The S&P 500 has crossed another psychological milestone — closing above 7,800 for the first time at 7,818.93. The Nasdaq also hit a record, while the Dow continues to lag.  But at these levels, the question is changing. It’s no longer just “Can the market go higher?” It’s “Can earnings justify where the market is already trading?” Q3 earnings season starts next week, and expectations are high. Analysts are looking for roughly 30% year-over-year S&P 500 earnings growth, with technology expected to be one of the biggest contributors.  That creates a fascinating setup. If companies deliver strong revenue, margins and guidance, the record highs could look increasingly justified. But if earnings merely meet expectations without raising the outlook, investors may start asking whether t

Semiconductors are rallying, but memory stocks are suddenly moving in the opposite direction. $SK Hynix fell 6.39%, while $Seagate dropped 9.18%, $Western Digital lost 6.93%, $SanDisk slipped 2.56% and $Micron fell 1.73%. So what changed? The biggest concern appears to be supply. Reports that Toshiba plans to significantly expand its storage capacity have investors questioning whether today’s tight market could eventually become oversupplied. That hit storage names particularly hard.  There is also a second concern: power and execution. AI data centres need enormous amounts of electricity, and bottlenecks in power infrastructure could delay both data-centre deployments and the memory demand investors are counting on. But there is a bullish counterargument. AI demand hasn’t disappeared. Sa
