Profit Turnaround+High Growth! Hidden Gems of Earnings Season?

For short-sellers, it has been nothing short of a golden moment — many bearish bets placed earlier this year have paid out handsomely as prices cratered.

Growth Stocks Crumble: Is This a Short Seller’s Paradise or a Buying Opportunity?

The Q2 2025 earnings season has unleashed a torrent of volatility on growth stocks, with most names—except standouts like Duolingo, Expedia, and Nebius—crashing hard after disappointing results. Pinterest, The Trade Desk, Snap, and Lyft have taken heavy hits, with some plunging 10-20% post-earnings, rewarding short sellers but leaving long-term investors rattled. The S&P 500 at 6,297.36 and Nasdaq at 20,884.27 are at record highs, but a VIX at 15.94, new tariffs (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada), and geopolitical tensions (Israel-Iran conflict, oil at $75/barrel) signal a potential 7-10% pullback.

Chip Titans Stumble: Were ARM and Qualcomm’s Earnings a Letdown?

The Q2 2025 earnings season has been a wild ride, and semiconductor giants ARM Holdings (ARM) and Qualcomm ( $Qualcomm(QCOM)$ ) have added fuel to the fire with results that sparked sharp market reactions. ARM’s shares slid over 8% after disappointing smartphone royalties overshadowed an otherwise solid earnings report, while Qualcomm, despite beating Wall Street expectations, saw its stock dip in extended trading due to a cautious Q4 outlook.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ 🧠🔥⚔️ Nvidia Is Eating AMD’s Lunch: And the AI Buffet Isn’t Slowing ⚔️🔥🧠 I’m extremely confident we’re watching a structural bifurcation unfold. AMD’s data center growth is collapsing, credibility is eroding, and the charts have snapped. Meanwhile, Nvidia just printed $30.77B in data center revenue, gained another $72B in free cash flow, and has pulled within $1T of the entire EuroStoxx 50. Flash Verdict: Bullish $NVDA. Tactical Pause $AMD unless $168 is reclaimed. I’m tactically cautious on AMD until it proves its Q2 decline is a one-off and not the beginning of a demand downgrade cycle. I’m betting $NVDA hits $5T before AMD sees another $3.85B quarter in data c

$Uber(UBER)$ 🚖📊🔥 Uber’s $8.5B Free Cash Flow Juggernaut: $105 Breakout or $130 Frontier? 🔥📊🚖 🎯 Executive Summary I’m extremely confident Uber’s Q2 2025 results signal more than just quarterly strength; they confirm a long-term structural rerating.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi set the tone: “We’ll be a big part of the autonomous revolution.” With 20+ AV partnerships and a $20B buyback already in motion, Uber is weaponising its platform advantage as Wall Street shifts toward cash-generati
