Earnings Calendar (06 May 2024) earnngs of the week Some of the earnings of interests are Palantir, Disney, Rivian, Occidental and Tyson. Let us look at Tyson in detail. Observations: Revenue grew from $37.5 billion in 2014 to 52.8 billion in 2023. The operating profit suffered a drop in 2023. It fell from $4+ billion in 2021 and 2022 to $386 million in 2023. Earnings per share EPS has fallen from $8.92 in 2022 to negative $1.87 in 2023. This is of concern for the business. The management has offered increasing dividends per share over the last 10 years. The above is some of the news about Tyson. Most of these hurt the reputation. Despite the news, Investing has a strong buy rating for the stock. The stock is approaching its 52-week high. Analysts from Investing have compiled a p

Bought Spotify back in 2020 - held on and held on.  It will be interesting to see where is resistence ceiling is - my feeling is the company has a good moat, a good product and still a way to go to saturation. 

After hours yesterday, chip giant $Texas Instruments(TXN)$ released its first-quarter report, and the results were better than expected, sending its stock price soaring over 7%.Specifically, TI raked in $3.66 billion in revenue for the first quarter, down 16.4% year on year, the largest decline since 2014, but exceeded analysts' expectations of $3.6 billion, at the high end of the management's guidance of $3.45-3.75 billion:The sales slide hit TI's profitability hard. Its gross margin for the quarter was 57.2%, and its net adjusted profit margin was 24.9%, both significantly lower than the same period last year.Behind the numbers, it's all about lackluster demand.

Large companies that release their financial performance early in the reporting season often provide strong guidance for similar companies. $Netflix(NFLX)$ was the first to announce its Q1 performance after hours on April 18. Judging from the comparison between the performance of the quarter and market expectations, this was an "exceeding expectations" financial report, but it dropped by 4% after hours, also signaling that investors have identified areas that require caution. Investment highlightsRevenue growth 15% year-on-year , the best in two years, and an expected 13% to 15% growth in revenue for the fiscal year 2024. Netflix's revenue growth in 2024 depends on the results of combating shared accounts and the development of the advertising bus

Big-Tech’s PerformanceRisk-off mode on, with big-techs hit first. Strong earnings does not guarantee a strong surge, macro data brings greater pressure to the market, the Fedes maintain hawkish, combined with the Israel-Iran war, the upcoming technology stock earnings season will also not be optimistic. As of the close on April 18, all big-techs experienced a pullback, with the worst performers being $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ at -14.13%, followed by $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ at -6.56%, $Microsoft(MSFT)$ at -5.53%, $Apple(AAPL)$ at -4.57%, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ at -5.2%,

Hi all! I believe we are experiencing the start of the correction with this 5% pullback. Now might be too early to buy the dip as l expect this to be a correction rather than a pullback. We should see a correction of more than 10% from the indexes high but less than 20% so the bull market is still intact. In my opinion, we should be able to finish the year strongly and S&P 500 will be over 5500 points. Meanwhile, l am still investing 80% of my portfolio in stocks/ETF/options with 20% in alternative investments like commodities and cryptocurrencies. At the moment, my stock market investment is about 40% long positions and 60% short positions. I should share my main portfolio investments and please note it is all vested interests.

🌟🌟🌟Even though there was a solid 1% rebound on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 2% across last week, marking its worst weekly performance since October last year.  Nervousness has increased across the markets after several Feds officials including Jerome Powell, confirmed that patience is required before cutting interest rates given the strength of the US economy and the slight increase in inflation.  Rising geopolitical tensions also affected risk sentiment. This week, volatility could rise after 5 straight monthly gains with the release of US inflation figures, the minutes of the March FOMC meeting and the start of US earnings season. Q1 24 earnings season kicks off on Friday with JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and Citibank reporting.

Navigating a bear market can be a challenging experience for investors, but it also presents unique opportunities for those who are prepared. Here's an article that outlines strategies to consider during a bear market, including buying quality stocks at support levels, using options for bullish positions, and employing dollar-cost averaging. --- ## Strategies for Thriving in a Bear Market ### Understanding the Bear Market A bear market is characterized by a decline in asset prices of at least 20% from recent highs, often triggering widespread pessimism. However, for savvy investors, a bear market can be a time to invest in high-quality assets at lower prices. ### Buying Quality Stocks at Support Levels One strategy is to buy quality stocks in trenches at different support prices based on h

TSMC's $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ share price closed 0.55% lower on Wednesday. It might open higher tonight due to earnings beat.  1Q2024 Earnings: Both Net Revenue and Net Income exceeded LSEG consensus estimates by 1.7% and 5.5%, respectively. Net Revenue increased by 16.5% year-over-year to NT$592.64 billion, while Net Income also rose by 16.5% year-over-year to NT$592.64 billion. However, both Net Revenue and Net Income experienced quarter-over-quarter declines of -5.3% and -5.5%, respectively. Both Gross Margin and Operating Margin remained robust at 53.1% and 42% in the quarter. The 3nm process technology contributed 9% of total wafer revenue in 1Q24, with 5nm and 7nm accounting for 37% and 19%, respectively. Advanced tec

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ decreased 3.1% last week, $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ plummeted 5.5%, causing market attention. TMaybe it’s not a bad thing to fall at this position. It can not only digest its overly strong expectations, but also help to restart the interest rate cut trade.Liquidity IssuesThe turning point of financial liquidity in the second quarter will put pressure on U.S. stocks.The difference between the Federal Reserve's balance sheet rule - TGA account - reverse repos is used to measure liquidity within the financial system, which is approximately equal to the scale of reserves in the commercial banking system. Recent changes are that the Fed's monthly balance sheet reduction is still ongoing, but the tax

Ah, the thrilling spectacle of earnings season! As we eagerly await the grand opening act featuring banking behemoths like Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan Chase, it’s time to don our Sherlock hats and peer beyond the flashy headlines. Sure, those big numbers might dazzle, but as seasoned investors, we know the real story lurks in the shadows. Let’s embark on a journey of financial intrigue and wisdom!

Since the Federal Reserve Chairman Powell indicated that the interest rate cut will come later than expected, the stock market has continued to decline amid multiple bearish news. The Fear & Greed Index has shifted from “greed” a month ago to “fear”. The American bank stocks have fared poorly. Except for $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ and $Morgan Stanley(MS)$ , most of major banks missed their estimates and declined after earnings. $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ fell the most, declining by over 6% in response to disappointing net interest income. $Wells Fargo(WFC)$ , $Citigroup(C)$ , $Bank of America(BAC)$ also followed the downtrend. My strategy is to buy low this earning season. Take a que from Singapore banks’ stock all breaking out and jump higher these days.

HOLD In the market's dance, I hold my stance, discipline guides, in every chance. Through falls profound, my stocks I keep, on solid ground. Though temptations whisper, "Sell, be free!" I stay the course, with certainty. For in the realm where fortunes rock, discipline reigns, I'll weather the shock. Warren Buffett: "The stock market is designed to transfer money from the Active to the Patient." Research shows that those who stay invested over the long run in a well-diversified portfolio will generally do better than those who try to profit from turning points in the market.
