Tesla is in way magnificent and the same can be said about Apple, which has a moat but its products have shown little innovation over the years. Nvidia while innovative and innovative and with a strong moat is pushing the AI capex narrative to justify its valuation and is also investing in Open AI so that the latter can buy its chips . This just goes to show how stretched the AI capex narrative is. Some sort of consolidation is due.
This is highly positive for Nvidia and AMD bcoz ????? That is why the stocks are rallying . Just goes to show how these stocks are just being manipulated and Wall Street analysts remain silent.
Alphabets earnings were mostly helped by $7.7b in after tax gains on equity investments. Excluding which net profit would have risen by 13%, versus reported net profit growth of 48%, which would call into question whether it was truly an earnings beat.
Guidance is BS. Tourist arrivals is expected to decline sharply in 2024 and visitations to its theme parks will be adversely impacted. Between 18-22% of visits to Disney's theme parks in Florida dm California are foreigners . Also logical to expect visits to international theme in Shanghai, HongKong, Tokyo and Paris to deine bcoz it the trade war. Yet Bob Iygwr gives a bullish forecast and no analyst questions the logic.
This US$8b MTM profit was used to buffer up Alphabet's earnings and it should be excluded to determine core earnings. It is a non- cash item, which is not subject to corporate tax. Excluding the item, earnings would have been a miss and yet Wall Street is celebrating.
