🎉Microsoft Enters $4 Trln Club! Who’s Next to Join the Elite Club?

Microsoft has become the second company in the world to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization after reporting quarterly earnings beats. Meta rocketed 11% as topped projections for second-quarter sales and gave a stronger-than-expected forecast for the current period, a sign that the social media company’s advertising business is still growing quickly enough to support aggressive spending on artificial intelligence. Two giants set new all time highs. AI battleground heats up: will you hold the two stocks? Is their AI spending good news for Nvidia? Can Apple become the third one?

I find the anticipation around Microsoft and Meta's earnings quite exciting. Analysts expect Microsoft to show approximately 14 percent year-over-year growth in both revenue and earnings, with consensus EPS estimates at 3.38 dollars and revenue estimates at 73.81 billion dollars. This kind of growth projection speaks to the strength of Microsoft's position, especially with its advancements in artificial intelligence. Similarly, I am impressed by the outlook for Meta, where analysts anticipate roughly 14 percent year-over-year growth in both profits and sales for the quarter. The consensus EPS estimates stand at 5.86 dollars, with revenue estimates at 44.79 billion dollars. This suggests Meta is also capitalizing on its AI initiatives and expanding market presence, which bodes well for its

The battle between Microsoft’s Azure and Meta’s ad business is quickly becoming one of the defining rivalries in tech—and this earnings season just poured gasoline on the fire.

BIG TECH WEEKLY | What Challenges Does Big-Tech Face? Marvell Raises Guidance

Big-Tech’s PerformanceWeekly Macro Highlights: Escalation Between Iran and Israel, Powell vs. Trump War of Words, Stablecoin TurmoilThe escalation in the Middle East was one of the main drivers of market volatility this week. Israel’s strike on key Iranian facilities could lead to further increases in oil prices, fueling inflation expectations and exerting pressure on U.S. equities—particularly those in energy-sensitive sectors. While the upward trend in oil prices slightly eased this week, geopolitical uncertainty remains a key market risk for the foreseeable future.On the other hand, despite solid economic data, the Fed unsurprisingly refrained from cutting interest rates and reiterated concerns over tariffs and their potential inflationary effects.

Microsoft ( $Microsoft(MSFT)$ ) is riding a wave of glory, smashing through all-time highs after a Q1 earnings beat that sparked a 7.6% single-day surge—and it hasn’t looked back since.

Big-Tech’s PerformanceWeekly Macro Highlights: The showdown between the bigwigs With May’s CPI continuing to decline—core inflation easing even further—Trump launched a fierce attack on Powell at the White House this week, urging a rate cut and even specifying a "2 percentage point" reduction. Although his claim of saving $600 billion annually may not materialize, the reality is that with ballooning U.S. debt, government interest expenses are under significant pressure. On June 13, he went so far as to call Powell a “blockhead.” However, Powell remained committed to data-driven policy and resisting political interference, with no signs of easing tension.

Which AI Stocks Likely To Benefit From Rise Of Large Concept Model (LCM)?

LLMs have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence and have emerged as the de facto tool for many tasks. The current established technology of LLMs is to process input and generate output at the token level. This contrasts sharply with humans who operate at multiple levels of abstraction, well beyond single words, to analyze information and generate creative content. Large Concept Model (LCM), substantially differs from current LLMs in two aspects: 1) all modeling is performed in a high-dimensional embedding space instead of on a discrete token representation, and 2) modeling is not instantiated in a particular language or modality, but at a higher semantic and abstract level. Large Concept Models (LCMs) represent an exciting new frontier in AI, moving beyond the token-by-token
