【Thursday Special】Which Stock/Industry Exceeded Your Expectations in Terms of Profitability?

Hey Tigers!

Welcome to this week's Thursday Special! 

When I saw the world's rich rank today, besides envy, all I could feel was jealousy.

Upon closer inspection, I found out that the world's richest person is Bernard Arnault, the CEO of $LVMH-Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton(LVMHF)$, a luxury conglomerate that owns 75 brands including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Tiffany. It's unbelievable that the company is seeing record profits despite challenging market conditions, with Louis Vuitton doubling its sales in four years.

Other tech giants are being left behind.

I used to think that the hot industries were all about high-tech, which could take people to space, or that electronic technology and artificial intelligence could solve all my problems, or that the great inventions in biopharmaceuticals could save lives. But it turns out that the luxury goods industry has beaten them all with unimaginable profitability.

Today, let's talk about STOCKS/INDUSTRIES that have exceeded your expectations in terms of profitability.

For example, what is beyond my expectation is $Pinduoduo Inc.(PDD)$, which has taken a significant share of the lower-tier market and has grown faster than the other two major e-commerce platforms $Alibaba(BABA)$ and $JD.com(JD)$.

Everyone who shares a stock/industry and how it exceeded your expectations will be rewarded. 

No coins for the exact same experience.

    🌟🌟🌟With the ongoing Ukraine war, My best performing ETF is $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$  XLE represents the Top 23 US Energy Giants such as $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$  $Chevron(CVX)$  and $Occidental(OXY)$ which have benefited greatly from the ongoing oil embargo on Russian Energy from US and its allies. 

    Best of all XLE ETF pays a juicy 4.22% dividends every 3 months.   XLE ETF is also my tactical defensive play and a great hedge against high inflation.  Despite the slowing global economy, as long as Demand exceeds Supply, XLE will be my shiny star in a sea of market volatility.

    $iShares Semiconductor ETF(SOXX)$ or $VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ the semiconductor sector has exceeded my expectations. All pulled up by $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ .
    I did not expect $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ to close above $100, it is overbought and probably will dropped soon

    $Kulicke & Soffa(KLIC)$ is the company that exceeds my expectation on its market share for the wire bonders. Its high performance wire bonders take near to 90% of the whole market share. Amazing right? What a definite monopoly. Worth to study this semiconductor company if you don't know. @Fenger1188 @Universe宇宙 @LMSunshine @rL @Aqa

    A new round of lay-offs has the potential to boost Meta Platforms $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ profitability in FY 2023 which has been negatively affected by a broad-based advertising slump, driven by high inflation and growing competition, especially in the rapidly growing market of short-term video apps. Meta remains almost 30% undervalued, trading at 9X cash-adjusted earnings. Cost cutting is expected to return it to strong growth in the coming years. Meta could almost double in the next three years if it grows as expected. If you think Zuckerberg's Metaverse plans will work, it's a potentially strong buy.

    The AI sector (especially Chat GPT) really came out of nowhere for me. Especially trading Crypto. I‘m wonder ing if it’s really going to be hitting the same highs/profits in three to six months time? More? Or if it too shall pass onto the next big thing. It’s a little scary. Sentient AI, self-driving cars, EV air craft etc. I’m wondering what the world will come to look like with the implementation and integration of AI…

    my best bet right now is banking. I'm going for the dip in the bank stocks, such as $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ $First Republic Bank(FRC)$ $Bank of America(BAC)$ and others. it's a quick earning in a relatively short turbulence time.

    $Sea Ltd(SE)$ is definitely one of them. reporting a profitable quarter for the 1st time. I did not expect the stock to hold it gains, but it actually did and went up higher despite the banking crisis

    $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ exceeded my expectations. people thought it was invincible, then it became vulnerable, after that it rose from the ashes like a phoenix and I think it will not look back anymore. It's just too far ahead the pack.

    I think the $Sea Ltd(SE)$ is surprising me. With the poor financial report, the share price rebound from 60 to 90usd which is 50%. Now maybe is not a good time to buy in. so just wait for opportunity.

    $Alibaba(BABA) $ was beyond my expectations. It went from around 60usd when I start my position to more than 100usd in few months but now is below 90usd but still a big percentage profits

    $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ went beyond my expectations. their close association with deep learning and AI was a smart smooth. Now the stock is always considered in the recommendations of articles talking about AI.
