I definitely didn't have " $AMZN drops 5% to its lowest levels since May after $MSFT beats Azure estimates and $GOOG calls out retail strength while beating Search/YouTube estimates" on this week's bingo card 😉.

$BABA shared this slide in their earnings deck. A good birds-eye view of their empire.

Wonder if $NVDA's $10B mixed shelf is being filed with potential M&A in mind. They don't need the money otherwise.

If these numbers are right, they go a long way towards explaining why $MSFT and $GOOG are respectively charging $30/month for unlimited use of 365 Copilot and Duet.

Semi earnings thus far (from $TSM, $TXN, $ASML, $LRCX, etc.) point to a fairly normal down cycle rather than a catastrophic one, with memory and PCs/consumer hardware the weakest areas and analog and auto/cloud the strongest areas.

A few thoughts on recent tech earnings: - Digital ad plays have been a clear earnings season winner. Valuations for the group often weren’t stretched going into July, and greater consumer/corporate optimism + e-commerce strength is leading ad budgets to loosen. Also, ad tech has

Kind of interesting that $MSFT opted for $INTC Sapphire Rapids CPUs for its $AMD MI300X instances. Sapphire Rapids is also used in most $NVDA H100 instances (the one notable exception I've seen is $AMZN's EC2 P5 instances, which use AMD's Milan CPUs).

The AI capex boom isn't letting up, consumer spending is ok, unemployment remains low, rates are behaving themselves, and Powell & Co. remain in 🙈🙉🙊 mode. It's hard to be all that bearish until at least one of those things changes.

My longer-term thesis with semis (and partly why I tweet about them so much) is that some of them will gradually re-rate the way that $AAPL did. Secular growth drivers and pricing power often underappreciated by those fixating on cyclicality.
