[Earnings Recap] Meta Rises, Tesla Falls. Who's Winning the AI Race?
Meta gained after 26% revenue growth and an upbeat holiday-quarter forecast. IBM also advanced as software demand improved. Lam Research and AT&T sold off despite beating estimates, while Tesla slipped as weaker auto and energy results overshadowed a modest profit beat. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ initially rose more than 2% after hours Meta owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and is building consumer AI products, smart glasses and virtual-reality hardware. Third-quarter revenue jumped 26% to $64.6 billion, comfortably above the roughly $63.3 billion consensus. Reported EPS was $3.83 after a $9.89 billion legal charge; excluding that item, earnings would have been $7.40 per share. Ad impressions increased 10%, while the average price per ad

Hang Seng Tech Falls More Than 4%: Below 4,000, the Market Is Asking When AI Will Make Money
Hong Kong technology stocks accelerated their decline today. As of 10:57 a.m. HKT, the Hang Seng TECH Index was down 4.3% at 3,823, after touching an intraday low of 3,819. The index had already fallen below 4,000 in the previous session, while all 30 constituents traded lower at one point today. $TENCENT(00700)$Tencent fell below HK$400, with Alibaba, NetEase and several AI-related stocks also under significant pressure. (Hang Seng Indexes) It would be easy to describe this as another decline in risk appetite. The more important shift, however, is that investors are changing how they value Chinese technology companies: Previously, announcing higher AI investment was enough to support valuations. Now the market wants to know when
TOPShyon: I think the main issue is not whether Chinese tech companies have a future in AI, but how quickly they can turn investments into profits. $TENCENT(00700)$ and $Alibaba(09988)$ still have strong core businesses, but rising AI spending and competition could pressure earnings in the near term. Personally, I will not rush to buy the dip just because the Hang Seng TECH Index has fallen below 4,000. Lower prices do not automatically mean better value if earnings forecasts are also declining. I will watch for improving cash flow, AI monetization and earnings stability before adding exposure. That said, I remain open to opportunities if valuations become more attractive and fundamentals stabilize. I care more about earnings revisions and market breadth than the psychological 4,000 level. My approach is to accumulate gradually when the risk-reward ratio improves, rather than trying to predict the bottom. @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @TigerClub

Micron (MU) Leads The Pack In AI Chip Stock Rallies 🚀🎉💯
$Micron Technology(MU)$
TOP$Micron Technology(MU)$ Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has crossed a $1 trillion valuation amid an unprecedented AI-driven memory boom, though recent market sentiment swings, labor disputes in Taiwan, and massive price spikes have fueled intense retail "meme stock" chatter. Key News & Market Drivers • Valuation & AI Boom: Micron surpassed a $1 trillion market cap as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM demand for AI data centers vastly outpaced supply. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently reiterated strong market tailwinds, noting that "you can always use more memory". • Analyst Targets & Volatility: Wall Street sentiment is heavily split. While D.A. Davidson maintained a Buy rating with a $3,000 price target, prominent short-seller Michael Burry revealed put options against the stock, and shares recently dipped around 4% amid broader tech sentiment shifts. • Taiwan Labor Disputes: Micron faces union friction in Taiwan over employee bonuses and profit-sharing. While workers at its Taichung facility reached a tentative deal, a union in Taoyuan has weighed warning strikes over demands to allocate 15% of operating profits to staff. • Meme Stock & Retail Hype: On communities like Reddit's r/MU_Stock, retail traders frequently track massive quarterly revenue explosions (jumping several-fold year-over-year), record gross margins near 85%, and fierce debate over whether the memory cycle will crash or stay structurally elevated.

Earnings Call Insights: Tesla (TSLA) Q3 2026
Management View "The third quarter was very strong" and "demand is growing rapidly for our vehicles" and "it's exceeding our production by a significant margin," said Elon Musk (Co-Founder, Technoking of Tesla, CEO & Director), adding, "The biggest driver for demand is full self-driving." "We also began production of the Tesla Semi truck in Q3" and Tesla is "aiming for 5 million vehicles a year by approximately 2030," said CEO Musk. On energy, CEO Musk said, "We're actually almost sold out of all Megapacks for 2027" and "we also expect gross margins on that to increase meaningfully." On Robotaxi, CEO Musk said, "Robotaxi miles driven -- fully autonomous miles driven scale exponentially" and "The Cybercabs fleet in Austin, for example, has grown by a factor of 10 since launch about a mo

Management View Mark Zuckerberg said Meta’s “Family of Apps is now used by 3.64 billion people each day,” adding that the company is seeing “all-time highs and engagement on both Facebook and Instagram, driven by strong growth in video.” Zuckerberg framed product momentum around agents, saying, “We had one of our most successful launches ever with the Muse personal agent,” and that “Threads has now overtaken X in monthly actives and continues to grow quickly.” On early Muse traction, Zuckerberg said, “In just 1.5 months, more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada have set up Muse personal agents,” and added, “About 25% of people who have set up Muse use it on any given day.” Zuckerberg outlined monetization and scaling priorities, saying the next phase is focused on “scale the prod

Profitable on paper. Still burning cash. 🚀
The estimates shown put $SpaceX(SPCX)$ SpaceX’s 2028 net profit at $63B, but free cash flow at negative $64.2B as investment in AI infrastructure accelerates. The distinction? Depreciation spreads asset costs over years, while capital expenditure uses cash upfront. Growing profits don’t necessarily mean cash generation.

AI SELLOFF FADES - WALL STREET BETS ON THE REBOUND
Tech Stocks Stabilize as Earnings Restore Investor Confidence The AI selloff is beginning to look less threatening. After a brutal stretch for semiconductor stocks, Wall Street is showing renewed resilience, with investors increasingly willing to look past recent fears and focus on corporate earnings. The Dow Jones surged 1.02%, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ gained 0.28%, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped just 0.02%. Semiconductor stocks lost some momentum during Tuesday’s session, but Monday’s rally had already broken their nine-day losing streak. The shift in sentiment suggests that investors are not abandoning the AI trade just yet. Instead, they appear to be becoming more selective, distinguishing companies with solid financial foundations from th

Tesla Earnings: The Quarter Matters, but What Comes Next Matters Much More
Tonight's earnings arrive at an interesting moment. Tesla is around $353, while Meta is around $704. Both are AI stories, but the market is asking completely different questions. For Meta: Is AI generating enough advertising revenue to justify enormous capex? For Tesla: Can autonomy, Robotaxi and robotics eventually become large enough to justify a valuation that already looks far beyond a conventional automaker? For me, Tesla is the more fascinating setup because tonight's EPS is almost secondary to what management says about 2027. 🔵 TESLA: I AM WATCHING 4 THINGS 1. Automotive margins This is still the foundation. Consensus expectations around $0.45 EPS and $28B revenue matter, but I care more about whether automotive economics are stabilising. Tesla can talk about robots and autonomy all

10/21 Strategy Preview | AI Is Running Hot — Earnings Will Set the Direction
① What Happened Today AI compute demand is exploding, and tech stocks face a packed earnings test. SMCI and SPCX beat expectations: SMCI pre-announced fiscal Q1 revenue with a midpoint of $19B, far above the market's $14.94B estimate. SPCX Q3 revenue grew 161% year over year and it raised next quarter's revenue guidance sharply. AI server and cloud compute demand is still strong, but high capex and margin pressure are still risks. The semiconductor supply chain is strong: SMCI lifted DELL and HPE, and optical names CRDO and LITE also strengthened. SK Hynix finished a 40 trillion won buyback early and plans to cancel shares, which boosted memory chips, but this round of buyback buying is now over. Musk signals a merger: Tesla and SpaceX have set up a committee to study a potential merger. T

META Earnings: Options Are Crazy Expensive — Three Strategies for the 650 to 745 Range
1. Basics | AI Is a Long-Term Positive, but Compute Is a Short-Term Limit Meta is expected to report 3Q26 revenue of $63.6B, up 24.2% year over year, with an operating margin of 45.1%. The core ads business stays strong. Instagram US daily average use rose 13% year over year to 58 minutes. Muse has over 8.6 million downloads and over 1.9 million daily active users. AI monetization potential is worth watching. Compute spending keeps climbing. 2027 capex is expected at $209B, up 45% year over year, and free cash flow could turn negative in 2026. The earnings focus: can ad growth and Muse monetization offset the cash flow pressure from AI spending? 2.

Futures Positioning Watch: US Index Shorts Retreat as Oil Bsulls Rush for the Exit

The Commitments of Traders (COT) report, published weekly by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is a key gauge of fund flows in global futures markets. Its main value lies in revealing who is driving prices. Market movements ultimately reflect competition among different types of capital, and CFTC data allow these participants to be analyzed separately. The analysis follows three main steps: Identify the dominant capital.
