Tesla (TSLA -2.14%) plunged by 14% after releasing its second-quarter earnings, but that dip may just be the beginning. The company has physical artificial intelligence (AI) products in the pipeline, with Optimus robots being a future catalyst, but Tesla still relies heavily on automobile sales and has the profit margins of an automaker.

Rising capital expenditures without rising profits Elon Musk told investors to expect a "massive capex year" in 2026, while Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja anticipates capital expenditures (capex) growing for "the next two or three years."
It's the cost of doing business as tech companies scramble to throw capital at AI opportunities, but Tesla hasn't boosted profits for all of that spend. Alphabet (GOOG +0.21%) (GOOGL +0.58%) reported higher operating income, even with higher AI expenditures, and that has been a common pattern among the largest tech companies.
Tesla's operating income dropped by 57% year over year, and the company had only a 1.4% operating margin. Electric vehicles still make up a large portion of total revenue, more than 70%. Automobiles are a low-margin business, and Tesla's rising capital expenditures guarantee that its margins will be under more pressure for multiple years.

Assessing the valuation Tesla trades at almost a 300 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, even after the recent dip. If you treat it like a pure-play automobile stock, that valuation needs to drop a lot before Tesla reaches fair value.
Bulls have rightly argued that it's not just an automobile stock. The high capital expenditures are going toward Robotaxis and Optimus robots. These are moonshot opportunities that can help justify the current valuation, but for now, they have zero impact on Tesla's business.
A quote from Elon Musk perfectly sums up the opportunities and risks associated with Tesla stock: "I'm confident that all the things that we're investing in will yield incredible returns," Musk said during the call.
Investors are holding on to shares because they believe robotaxis and robots will fuel the next megacycle. However, there are several questions that the current valuation does not account for.
How long will it take for these opportunities to become commercialized? Will Tesla get a large market share with these innovations or gradually lose ground, as has been the case for its electric vehicles? Will demand be strong enough to justify Tesla's current market cap?
These questions show plenty of uncertainty and business execution risk. Elon Musk previously predicted its Robotaxis would be available to half the U.S. population by the end of 2025, which did not materialize. These initiatives may eventually pan out. However, "eventually" isn't a justification for a nearly 300 P/E ratio when most of the money coming in is from electric vehicles and margins are tightening.
Tesla stock needs a deeper dip before it will justify purchasing shares.
United Airlines loni oslovila Delta Air Lines kvůli možné fúzi, ale jednání nepokročila. Spojení dvou největších amerických dopravců by čelilo silné antimonopolní kontrole.
United Airlines reportedly approached Delta Air Lines last year about a potential merger that would have combined two of the largest U.S. carriers.
United CEO Scott Kirby contacted Delta CEO Ed Bastian to pitch the potential tie-up, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the outlet, leadership at Delta discussed the proposal and evaluated the potential benefits as part of "preliminary due diligence," but the talks did not advance, and both airlines ultimately moved on.

A United spokesperson told FOX Business the airline had "nothing to share." Delta declined to comment.
A merger between United and Delta would have had sweeping implications for the airline industry and likely faced scrutiny from federal antitrust regulators and state attorneys general, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The previously unreported talks come as United works to expand its global reach.
Kirby also reportedly explored a possible merger with American Airlines earlier this year. However, American rejected the proposal, and CEO Robert Isom criticized the idea as "anticompetitive," the WSJ reported.

Teva letos pokračuje v oživení a za 12 měsíců vzrostla zhruba o 85 % díky posunu od generik ke značkovým lékům. Další růst může přinést duvakitug, který je ve fázi 3 klinických studií.
Year to date, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA -1.25%) shares have continued to recover. Thanks to the company's shifting focus from generic to branded drugs, this pharmaceutical stock has surged by around 85% over the past 12 months.
Although Teva may be pulling back lately, don't assume the turnaround rally is over. In addition to success with its initial round of commercially successful branded pharmaceuticals, the company has one key candidate in the pipeline that could be on the verge of becoming a blockbuster drug.
Image source: Getty Images.
Teva's branded drug transformation As seen in Teva's first-quarter 2026 financials, generic drugs now barely make up a majority of the company's overall sales. Meanwhile, branded drugs, particularly recent hits like Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy, are experiencing mid-double-digit annual sales growth.
Management expects a drop in earnings per share (EPS), from $2.65 in 2025 to between $1.91 and $2.11 in 2026. However, much of this stems from the initial dilutive effect of Teva's recent acquisition of Emalex Biosciences. Starting next year, the anticipated launch of biosimilars, along with other factors, should contribute to a 30% increase in operating profit and adjusted EBITDA.. Furthermore, another emerging catalyst for Teva could drive the next big leap for shares.

The duvakitug catalyst Next year, key drivers for the growth rebound include biosimilars, plus incremental sales growth for Teva's aforementioned flagship drugs. However, next year and beyond, duvakitug could be key to the company's further turnaround. The drug, which Teva co-developed with Sanofi, is currently in clinical trials as a treatment for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
If phase 3 clinical trial results prove as promising as recently released phase 2b findings, this drug could be on the fast track toward commercialization. Management has previously guided for duvakitug to reach between $2 billion and $5 billion in peak annual sales. Considering this, any progress with duvakitug could drive yet another massive rally, especially as the stock sells for less than 10 times estimated 2027 earnings. This strongly suggests taking advantage of near-term weakness by making this stock a long-term buy.

MercadoLibre vykázal růst tržeb o 49 %, ale provozní zisk klesl o 20 % kvůli vyšším logistickým nákladům a investicím do Mercado Pago. Trh se soustředí na nižší marži, ne na sílu ekosystému.
When MercadoLibre (MELI +0.16%) reported another quarter of strong revenue growth, investors quickly shifted their attention elsewhere:
Operating margin narrowed. Logistics costs increased. Shipping subsidies remained elevated. These became investors' focus instead of the headline growth of 49%.
The market's concern was straightforward: MercadoLibre's growth is becoming more expensive. That's a fair concern, since profitability ultimately determines shareholder returns. But it also raises a more important question:
What if today's margins tell us less about MercadoLibre's future than the strength of its ecosystem?
Long-term investors should care about both.
Image source: Getty Images.
Margins tell you where the business is today There are many ways to analyze a business, of which operating margin is probably one of the easiest to understand and track.
Higher margins usually signal pricing power, operating leverage, or disciplined execution. On the other hand, lower margins often suggest rising competitive pressure or heavier investment.
And that's exactly why MercadoLibre's recent results worried investors. The company lowered free-shipping thresholds in Brazil, expanded its logistics network, and continued investing aggressively in Mercado Pago. Those decisions pushed costs higher and compressed profitability. For perspective, operating profit fell by 20% despite the massive revenue growth.
Viewed quarter by quarter, the market's reaction makes sense. After all, nobody likes a lower profit.
But here's the thing. Quarterly margins only inform us what the company is today. They don't explain what kind of business MercadoLibre will become over the next few years. And that's why investors should also focus on other leading indicators.

The strength of the ecosystems creates tomorrow's margins The businesses that generate exceptional returns over the long run rarely maximize profits while they're building competitive advantages. Instead, they invest heavily to strengthen the ecosystem first.
For instance, Amazon spent decades building fulfillment infrastructure before retail margins improved. Costco invests heavily in lowering merchandise margins to create extraordinary customer loyalty, making money solely from its memberships. Similarly, Uber in the early days prioritized network density over profitability.
MercadoLibre appears to be following the same playbook. Every additional logistics hub shortens delivery times. Every new Mercado Pago user increases payment adoption. Every merchant that relies on Mercado Envios becomes more deeply embedded in the platform. Every advertiser that buys Mercado Ads creates another high-margin revenue stream.
Individually, these investments pressure margins in the short term. But collectively, they strengthen the ecosystem over the years that follow. And stronger ecosystems usually create better economics over time.
The metrics that investors should watch Instead of asking whether the operating margin expanded this quarter, investors should ask whether MercadoLibre's competitive strength has improved. And areas to focus on are:
Are buyers shopping more frequently? Are merchants relying on MercadoLibre for more than just sales? Are more consumers using Mercado Pago more often outside the marketplace? Are advertisers spending more to reach the platform's growing audience? If the answer to those questions is yes, MercadoLibre's competitive moat is likely widening, even if today's margins look weaker. That's because ecosystem strength compounds over time. Once buyers, sellers, payments, logistics, advertising, and credit reinforce one another, each new customer generates more value for the ecosystem than previous customers did.
While these network effects don't appear overnight in an income statement, they eventually show up in pricing power, higher returns on capital, and expanding free cash flow.
In other words, great ecosystems create great margins over time.
What does it mean for investors? To start with, none of what was discussed above means investors should ignore profitability. Eventually, MercadoLibre must convert today's investments into stronger earnings.
But focusing exclusively on quarterly margins risks missing the bigger picture. The company has already proven it can build Latin America's leading commerce and fintech platform.
Now it needs to prove something even more important: That today's investments are making the business stronger tomorrow.
If they are, today's margin pressure may not be a warning sign. It may simply be the cost of building the next phase of MercadoLibre's competitive advantage.
SL Green podepsala dvě nové nájemní smlouvy na téměř 57 000 čtverečních stop v 1185 Sixth Ave., čímž obsazenost věže stoupla na 92 %. Jedna byla obnovení a rozšíření pro Ryan Specialty, druhá nová nájemní smlouva se Solil Management.
Two leases totaling almost 57,000 square feet at SL Green’s 1185 Sixth Ave. were just signed, bringing the 1.1 million square-foot tower between West 46th and 47th streets to about 92% full.
One lease was a 29,166 square-foot renewal and expansion for insurance firm Ryan Specialty LLC, while the other was a new, 27,508 square-foot lease with property management firm Solil Management LLC.
SL Green leasing director Steven Durels said, not surprisingly, “We’re delighted to have both of these highly regarded firms as part of the building’s premier tenant roster.”
The highrise has reached 92% occupancy. Stefano Giovannini The tower recently saw major improvements including for the lobby, elevators and corridors.
Moroccanoil, a luxury and body-care company, recently signed a lease for 37,000 square feet, moving from 135 E. 57th St. which is being converted to apartments.
Other major tenants at 1185 Sixth include Syska Hennessey, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and Hartree Partners.
Citigroup ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal odhady: tržby stouply o 14 % na 24,8 miliardy USD a čistý zisk vyskočil o 45 % na 5,8 miliardy USD. Akcie ale po výsledcích klesly asi o 7 %, protože banka nezvýšila výhled.
The second quarter proved to be a strong one for big banks, which were fueled by a surge in investment banking and mergers and acquisitions, institutional trading, and rising asset levels. But one big bank failed to impress investors despite reporting solid results in Q2: Citigroup (C +0.23%).
Citigroup stock has tumbled some 7% since the bank reported earnings on July 14. It's surprising given how Citigroup performed, crushing estimates by a wider margin than many of its competitors. But the investment case may have turned negative for many investors on the tepid outlook.
But is this a knee-jerk reaction or a longer-term concern?
Image source: Getty Images.
Blowout Q2 results Citigroup turned in an excellent second quarter, with revenue up 14% year over year to $24.8 billion. This beat estimates of $23.7 billion. Net income skyrocketed 45% to $5.8 billion, or $3.15 per share, which destroyed consensus estimates of $2.73 per share. Earnings were buoyed by improving credit quality, as provisions for credit losses were $2.5 billion, 12% lower than the same quarter a year ago.
Citigroup posted strong gains across the board. Net interest income rose 13% year over year across the franchise. Equity markets trading revenue soared 45%, while investment banking revenue surged 44% year over year.

Also, its efficiency ratio, which shows how much the bank spends for every dollar of revenue, sank by 530 basis points to 57.4%. And its return on tangible common equity, another key efficiency metric, soared 430 basis points to 13%.
Given the strong results, investors were looking for the bank to raise its guidance, but it did not, as Citigroup maintained its previous guidance across its key metrics. Not only did Citigroup not lift its outlook, it raised some red flags.
Playing the long game On the earnings call, CFO Gonzalo Luchetti said management expects expense growth to outpace revenue growth in some of the next few quarters as the bank invests in its business. Some of the increased spending will come from pulling forward investments initially slated for 2027.
"We are taking full advantage of the market conditions, particularly if they are good in the second half, to be able to make the investments and take actions that will drive growth for the next number of years. And that is where and that is the message that the Street should be taking from this," CEO Jane Fraser said on the earnings call. "We are playing the long game."
The Street is actually bullish on Citigroup stock, with 77% rating it as a buy. It has a median price target of $156 per share, which suggests 18% upside.
Citigroup stock is cheap right now, trading at 12 times forward earnings and a PEG ratio below 1 at 0.72. And if the next few quarters are choppy, it could become even cheaper. The outlook may have changed the short-term investment case for some, but as Fraser said, they are playing the long game. It might not be a bad stock to pick up if it dips further, as the efficiency and growth metrics have been excellent.

ServiceNow (NOW +7.38%) continued to deliver excellent revenue growth when the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company reported its Q2 earnings; however, it once again wasn't enough to lift the beaten-down stock. There has been a narrative that AI will disrupt the software layer, and as a result, SaaS stocks have seemingly been able to do no right. As a result, ServiceNow stock is down 40% on the year.
While its stock has been struggling, ServiceNow has shown no signs of its growth slowing down. The company's platform is the backbone of its customers' entire software stacks, and it's been seeing strong growth with both its AI and cybersecurity offerings.

Accelerating growth For Q2, ServiceNow's revenue jumped 24% year over year to $3.99 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 11% to $0.90. That was above the $0.86 in adjusted EPS and $3.93 billion in revenue that analysts were expecting.
Subscription revenue climbed 25% year over year to $3.88 billion, while professional services revenue rose 9% to $110 million. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue accelerated from 19% growth in Q1 to that 23% growth.
ServiceNow is seeing strength in several areas. Its AI annual contract value (ACV) surged 40% quarter over quarter to over $1 billion, and it is on track to hit $1.5 trillion by year-end. Meanwhile, it said it already has a $1 billion cybersecurity business and that it's growing faster than any other top company in the space. It added that AI Control Tower, which launched just this spring, is "supercharging" its security and risk business.
The company also highlighted the momentum it was seeing in customer relationship management (CRM). It said this is already a $2 billion ACV business and that growth has been accelerating.
Another closely watched SaaS metric is remaining performance obligations (RPO), which is deferred revenue plus backlog growth, as it can be a future revenue growth indicator. In the quarter, ServiceNow saw its RPO increase by 21% to $29 billion, while current RPO (cRPO) also increased by 21% to $13.2 billion.
Looking ahead, the company projected its Q3 subscription revenue to grow 20.5% to a range of $3.975 billion to $3.98 billion. It anticipates cRPO to increase by 19.5%. For the full year, the company raised its subscription revenue guidance to a range of $15.76 billion and $15.78 billion, representing growth of 22.5%. That was up from prior revenue guidance of $15.735 billion to $15.775 billion, representing growth of 22% to 22.5%.
The company indicated that its guidance is likely conservative and that there could be upside given its strong new net ACV.

Trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 5 based on 2027 analyst estimates and a forward P/E of 18, the stock looks undervalued for a company with a highly recurring business model and strong gross margins that is growing its revenue above 20%. However, valuation alone isn't a reason enough to buy the stock.
While it does face the risk of AI disruption, given how embedded its systems are in customers' workflows and data, I think this risk is minimal. I also think most organizations will not want to tie their fortunes to one AI model company, which is a big reason why having a separate software layer is important. Meanwhile, ServiceNow appears to be doing all the right things. It's leaned into both AI and cybersecurity, and it's handling business as usual.
At the same time, its AI Control Tower looks like it has strong potential to be a future growth driver. The rise of AI agents should create a big need for agentic AI orchestration platforms, and its solution looks poised to be a top option. It is designed to oversee every AI agent model running within an organization, while monitoring their performance and making sure they follow governance rules. With its acquisitions of Armis and Veza, it also has strong security protocols in place.
While it likely will require patience, I'd be a buyer of the stock.

Netflix po výsledcích za čtvrtletí oznámil rekordní zpětný odkup akcií za téměř 5 miliard USD a zvýšil autorizaci na 27 miliard USD. Management dál čeká růst tržeb o 13 % až 14 % a provozní marži 31,5 % za celý rok.
Netflix (NFLX +1.73%) shares fell 8% after its second-quarter report on July 16, yet the streaming giant is on pace for its most profitable year ever. The company spent nearly $5 billion on stock buybacks, its largest quarterly repurchase activity on record, and management reloaded its buyback authorization to $27 billion.
All of this comes at a time when investors appear disinterested, even as shares trade for less than 20 times earnings. The stock is down nearly 50% from last year's high, weighed down by a valuation rerating and concerns that user engagement is softening against rising competition from short-form video, podcasts, gaming, and other streamers.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
A maturing model Management argued on the earnings call last week that raw viewing hours don't tell the whole story, and its Q2 shareholder letter described engagement as healthy. Management continues to expect revenue growth of 13% to 14% and an operating margin of 31.5% for the full year. That's more than 1,000 basis points of margin expansion over the past three years.
The company's cash flow profile is strengthening as revenue growth outpaces content spending growth. Free cash flow is expected to grow by more than 30% this year to $12.5 billion, up from previous guidance of $11 billion, as margins continue to expand. Given the stock's performance of late, long-term Netflix shareholders are understandably left scratching their heads.
Management also noted that recent price increases in key markets, such as the U.S. and Mexico, have "gone well." The $8.99 ad-supported subscription plan provides an affordable entry point, and the company expects ad revenue to roughly double to $3 billion in 2026. That's still just 6% of revenue, but it carries higher incremental margins than the core subscription business, giving the margin story more room to run.

The battle for attention Concerns surrounding user engagement were circulating heading into the report. On the earnings call, management pushed back on these concerns, arguing that engagement had improved slightly in the first half of the year. Still, the company's decision to move its detailed engagement report from a semi-annual to an annual release raises questions, especially after it stopped reporting subscriber metrics last year.
The rising competition for eyeballs and content quality are factors that have weighed on the stock. According to Nielsen, YouTube now captures roughly 13.5% of U.S. television viewing, well above Netflix's estimated 8% share. Netflix competes for viewing time, not only with other streamers, but with free alternatives like short-form video and podcasts.
More importantly, the consumer market for artificial intelligence (AI) is still in the early innings, creating further uncertainty around what the competitive landscape will look like in a few years.
That said, at 19 times forward earnings, the risk/reward has shifted. The stock hasn't been this attractively priced in a long time. While the engagement story is far from settled, a high-quality platform like Netflix is worth investing in at a below-market multiple.

RTX i Lockheed Martin ve 2. čtvrtletí překonaly odhady EPS i tržeb a zvýšily rekordní backlog. RTX navíc zvedla celoroční výhled a akcie po výsledcích vyskočily o 7 %.
The war trade has resumed in July, and earnings from two of the U.S.’s most prominent defense contractors are leading the tape. After weak Q1 reports and a tenuous Iran ceasefire, aerospace and defense stocks deepened their drawdowns as the market repriced the re-stock trade and institutional selling intensified. But now that the war is back on and Q2 reports from defense companies are rolling in, the repricing is being repriced. Does the defense trade have staying power this time?
Get RTX alerts:
What RTX and Lockheed Martin Earnings Tell Us About the Defense Trade’s Path ForwardLockheed Martin Inc. NYSE: LMT and RTX Inc. NYSE: RTX are two of the largest U.S. defense contractors, and both their stocks soared at the start of the year. But the outbreak of the Iran war in late February actually marked the top of the defense trade, and shares of both companies declined 25% and 19% peak to trough, respectively, after making all-time highs in Q1. Poor Q1 earnings from Lockheed drove the deeper decline, while higher commodity prices also weighed on RTX’s commercial order book.
The Q2 reports flipped the script, with both companies beating earnings-per-share (EPS) and revenue estimates and adding to their record backlogs. And crucially, not a dollar of earnings or backlog space has factored in the resumption of hostilities in Iran.
One crucial caveat to the thesis: the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has not yet been enacted following a failed cloture vote in the Senate. The debate is likely just noise and posturing between the Trump administration and Congress. Still, if the NDAA isn’t signed by October 1, no multiyear contracts for defense procurement can be distributed, and these contracts are the backbone of the RTX and LMT backlogs.
RTX: Clean Earnings Beat Has Stock Primed for New HighsThe drawdown in RTX shares is officially over following its Q2 2026 results. The beat was highlighted by 14.5% year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth, which topped analysts’ estimates by more than 8%. EPS of $1.89 also crushed the expected $1.66, and the backlog grew 22% YOY to a record $289 billion.

More than $43 billion worth of new orders were booked in the quarter, including $20 billion for the Raytheon division (i.e., defense). This is the company’s 8th consecutive beat, which may be why investors are willing to pay 30 times forward earnings for the stock.
An 8% earnings beat is rare, even for RtX, and it gave management the confidence to raise guidance for full-year sales, EPS, and free cash flow. The company now projects total 2026 EPS of $7.10 to $7.25, a 5% increase over its previous high-end estimate.
RTX shares jumped 7% on the release, but a looming issue clouds the celebration. The backlog is a mix of commercial and defense contracts, and the Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney divisions account for $170 billion of the $289 billion total. Collins and Pratt are the aerospace wings of the company, with Raytheon making the weaponry, which means more than 58% of the total backlog is exposed to commodity risk through higher fuel prices and lower airline capacity—two factors exacerbated by the Iran war.
RTX shares are just a hair below their previous all-time high following the 7% earnings pop, and the technical signals are pointing toward more short-term gains. The stock now trades comfortably above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which are converging into a Golden Cross. The MACD indicator has also reached positive territory above the histogram, and a bullish cross hints at more upside to come.
Lockheed Martin: Headline Numbers Mislead, But Backlog Stronger Than EverOn first glance, Lockheed Martin blew the market away in Q2 2026, beating top and bottom line estimates with EPS of $7.94 on $1.8 billion in net income.

This represents more than 400% YOY earnings growth, but that figure is flattered by the $1.6 billion losses absorbed by Lockheed in Q2 2025, which depressed the year-ago base. Still, the stock popped 10% on the day for a reason.
First, the backlog continues to reach record levels, growing to $230 billion, up from $193 billion at the end of 2025. The Q2 haul was especially impressive as Lockheed booked $65 billion in new orders in the period. Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) remains the shining segment, with a backlog of $87 billion for THAAD interceptors, GMLRS, HIMARS, and radar systems.
Additionally, Lockheed’s cash pile shows very real gains over the previous year’s quarter. Operating cash flow was $3.2 billion, and quarterly free cash flow came in at $2.25 billion. Management also boosted the top end of full-year revenue guidance to $81.75 billion, up from $80 billion in the previous quarter.
LMT shares had a deeper drawdown this spring, falling from an all-time high of $676 on March 2 to $491 by the end of June. The stock declined more steeply than RTX due to its poor Q1 earnings, but it may also have more upside given its unique exposure to the war in Iran. The company’s backlog is nearly all defense, meaning limited commodity risk compared to RTX.
The chart also shows a violent reversal, with the 10% pop breaking through both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also moved above 50 into bullish territory, but the stock is still about 16% below the March all-time high. At 19 times forward earnings, LMT is cheaper than RTX, but its backlog is less diversified, and another sudden ceasefire would pressure Lockheed’s Q3 guidance.

Bloom Energy čeká 28. července výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí, které mohou být dalším katalyzátorem po silném 1. čtvrtletí. Tehdy tržby vyskočily o 130,4 % na 751,1 milionu USD.
Bloom Energy (BE -14.54%) expects to release its second-quarter financial results on July 28 after the market closes. That report could be a major catalyst for the hydrogen stock.
Here’s why the advanced fuel cell maker’s next earnings report could send its stock soaring.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
A look back at what happened last quarterBloom Energy reported its first-quarter results on April 28. The company delivered exceptional results. Its revenue rocketed 130.4% to $751.1 million, led by a 208.4% surge in product revenue to $653.3 million. That powered a significant increase in its earnings and cash flow. Bloom reported $72.2 million in operating income and $73.6 million in cash flow from operating activities, increases of $91.3 million and $184.3 million, respectively.
Founder and CEO KR Sridhar called out the catalyst driving its robust results in the earnings press release. He stated: “We at Bloom are ushering in the era of digital power for the digital age. Bloom is rapidly becoming the standard and 'go-to choice' for on-site power.”

The company has secured two significant strategic AI power partnerships in the past year. Last July, it collaborated with Oracle to rapidly deliver power to data centers to support AI deployment. That partnership has been so successful that the cloud computing giant recently expanded it to deploy up to 2.8 gigawatts to accelerate its AI infrastructure build-out. Brookfield Asset Management also formed a $5 billion AI infrastructure partnership with Bloom last fall. The global alternative investments manager recently expanded that partnership fivefold to $25 billion.
What to expect in the second quarterBloom Energy’s strong first-quarter results and robust outlook led the fuel cell maker to significantly boost its full-year guidance:
Metric Initial guidance ranges Growth at the mid-point Updated guidance ranges Growth at the mid-point Revenue $3.1-$3.3 billion 60% $3.4-$3.8 billion 80% Non-GAAP Operating Income $425-$475 million 104% $600-$750 million 207% Non-GAAP EPS $1.33-$1.48 85% $1.85-$2.25 170% Data source: Bloom Energy.
As that table shows, Bloom now expects to deliver 80% revenue growth this year and a more than 200% increase in profitability. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another guidance boost when it reports its second-quarter financial results. One catalyst is the five-fold expansion of its strategic AI partnership with Brookfield. In commenting on the expansion in a press release, Bloom’s Chief Commercial Officer Aman Joshi stated that, “Today’s commitment reflects the momentum we are seeing in the market, as evidenced by recently announced large-scale deals.” More data center developers are turning to on-site power solutions to meet their energy needs amid challenges securing power from the grid. Bloom’s recently updated its annual Data Center Power Report, which confirms this, finding that 61% of developers plan to bring their own power if the grid can’t support their needs. Bloom’s advanced fuel cells are ideally suited to solve this constraint.
Shares of Bloom Energy initially surged more than 20% after it reported its first-quarter financial results in April, and were up as much as 50% by mid-June. However, the stock has cooled off considerably since peaking, and is now down nearly 20% from its trading price right before its first-quarter earnings report. That’s due to the recent sell-off in AI-related stocks amid concerns about capex costs, valuation, and project delays.
While Bloom Energy has gotten caught in the downdraft, its second-quarter results will likely show continued acceleration in its business. That should reinvigorate the stock, which could soar after the earnings report. The sell-off in Bloom’s stock has it trading at a more reasonable valuation of 14x forward sales (down from 26x at the peak). Given this pending catalyst, buying Bloom shares before it reports could be a very timely investment.

IonQ má podle článku náskok v technice i komerčním pokroku: v 1. čtvrtletí tržby vzrostly na 64,7 mil. USD a firma během 1. čtvrtletí 2026 prodala první 256qubitový systém a rozšířila prodej do více než 30 zemí.
Quantum computing has been a white-hot industry for investors, but who's actually winning the quantum computing race?
The answer depends on what you mean by "winning." If you're asking which company has made the most progress commercially, I think the answer is fairly straightforward: IonQ. But it's still early innings.
If you're asking who will build the first truly useful quantum computer, that's a much more interesting question, and the truth is, it's much too early to tell that just yet.
Let's take a look at both IonQ and Rigetti Computing.
Image source: Getty Images
IonQ is building a full-stack quantum platform IonQ (IONQ -3.61%) spent the last year transforming itself from a quantum computing developer into something more expansive. Company management now describes IonQ as a full-stack platform spanning computing, networking, sensing, and security.
Its underlying technology differs from many competitors, including Rigetti. IonQ builds trapped-ion quantum computers, a design generally associated with very high gate fidelity -- the accuracy of quantum operations -- but slower gate speeds than superconducting systems. The company reported a 2-qubit gate fidelity of 99.99% last year.
IonQ is also pushing aggressively into commercial deployment after a string of major acquisitions last year. During the first quarter of 2026, it sold the first of its newest 256-qubit system and expanded sales into more than 30 countries.

Rigetti is betting on superconducting speed Rigetti Computing (RGTI -4.54%) builds superconducting quantum processors, the same general technology pursued by companies like IBM and Alphabet. These systems operate dramatically faster than trapped-ion machines, with gate speeds measured in tens of nanoseconds. But they also require extremely complex cryogenic cooling systems operating near absolute zero and generally struggle to deliver the same level of fidelity as IonQ's trapped-ion approach.
Rigetti finally launched its 108-qubit Cepheus-1-108Q processor and demonstrated a 2-qubit gate fidelity of 99.1%. CEO Subodh Kulkarni has said the company believes it can reach quantum advantage -- industry jargon for the point at which quantum computers outperform classical computers on commercially useful tasks -- in roughly three years if it reaches about 1,000 qubits while maintaining high fidelity and effective error mitigation.

How do IonQ and Rigetti compare financially? IonQ generated $64.7 million in first-quarter revenue, a whopping 755% increase from a year earlier, while raising full-year guidance to between $260 million and $270 million. Its remaining performance obligations (RPO) -- contracted revenue that hasn't yet been recognized -- rose to a record $470 million. Perhaps most importantly, the company finished the quarter with roughly $3.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments.
To be sure, IonQ remains deeply unprofitable. Its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) loss guidance still calls for losses of more than $300 million this year. Management expects significant losses for the foreseeable future.
The company reported GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) profit last quarter came almost entirely from a noncash accounting adjustment rather than operating earnings.
Rigetti operates on a different scale at the moment. The company generated just $4.4 million in first-quarter revenue while ending the quarter with $569 million in cash and no debt. Like IonQ, its reported GAAP profit resulted primarily from warrant accounting rather than its core business. Rigetti also continues to rely heavily on government development contracts while working toward larger hardware sales over time.
The quantum computing opportunity is massive -- but uncertain McKinsey estimates quantum computing could eventually create between $1.3 trillion and $2.7 trillion in economic value by 2035. That's a huge opportunity, yes, but investors need to take it with a grain of salt and keep a few things in mind beyond the fact that McKinsey's is one of the more generous estimates.
First, that is the total value produced across the global economy. It's not a sales target for quantum firms. According to the same report, the slice of the pie for the producers themselves -- such as Rigetti and IonQ -- is just $60 billion to $100 billion.
Second, no one can say with any certainty when -- or even if -- true quantum advantage will be achieved at scale. It is entirely possible that a mature, revolutionary version of this technology is decades away. There are plenty of scientific voices outside the industry that are skeptical of the timelines put forth by quantum insiders.
The bottom line At this point, I'd have to give the edge to IonQ, both in its technical abilities and its commercial success. That being said, I think excitement has outrun reality, and both companies are currently overvalued.
GE Vernova po výsledcích za druhé čtvrtletí zvýšila celoroční výhled na tržby i volný peněžní tok. Tržby vzrostly o 22 %, zakázky o 88 % na 24,2 miliardy USD a backlog dosáhl rekordu 176 miliard USD.
Shares of GE Vernova (GEV -1.59%) fell roughly 6% on Wednesday after the company released its second-quarter earnings. While earnings per share missed Wall Street's expectations and the wind segment dragged down performance, investors are overlooking results that contained significant positive news.

Revenue grew 22% while orders skyrocketed 88% to $24.2 billion. As a result, GE Vernova's backlog reached a record $176 billion. Free cash flow also increased to $5.1 billion. The company's management raised its full-year guidance on both revenue and free cash flow.
The wind segment's revenue decreased 10%, with orders falling another 40%. Wind is expected to lose GE Vernova about $400 million this year. Weak demand, rising expenses, and tariffs are the main culprits.

While the wind story isn't good, it's an increasingly irrelevant piece of a much brighter narrative for GE Vernova. The company's power and electrification divisions are rapidly expanding and are the main drivers of revenue and future growth. Investors selling GE Vernova because of a struggling wind segment are missing a bigger opportunity. Growth in AI-related infrastructure needs will continue for several more years, and GE Vernova is well-positioned to capture much of it.
If anything, this slight price dip is an opportunity for investors to buy the stock for the long term. GE Vernova is currently trading well off its 52-week high of $1,195 at about $985 as of July 22. The stock is still up over 50% on the year.

Uber letos prudce klesá a obchoduje se na nejnižší úrovni od dubna loňského roku, protože růst podle trhu zpomaluje a firma čelí tlaku po velké akvizici.
Uber stock price is in a free fall this year and is trading at the lowest level since April last year. It has plunged by over 35% from its highest point since September last year. This retreat has pushed its market capitalization from a record high of $206 billion to the current $134 billion. So, why is this ride-hailing stock plunging?
Uber, the biggest ride-hailing company in the world, is under intense pressure as signs emerge that its growth has stalled in the past few months.
Analysts believe that the upcoming earnings will show that its revenue grew by 12.7% in the second quarter to $14.26 billion. They also expect the upcoming numbers to show that its earnings-per-share rose from 63 to 83 cents, respectively. Uber has missed analysts' estimates in the last two consecutive quarters, meaning that this trend may continue in the upcoming earnings.
The most recent earnings report showed that Uber’s revenue rose by 14% in the first quarter to $13.2 billion, while its gross bookings soared by 25%. Its income from operations rose by 57% to $1.9 billion.
Uber stock has also dropped after the company announced a large acquisition recently. It will spend about $13.7 billion for the Delivery Hero purchase, a substantial amount since Uber ended the last quarter with over $6.1 billion in cash. It will fund the deal using cash on hand and equity.
The most recent results showed that Delivery Hero’s gross merchandise value (GMV) jumped by 9% to €49.2 billion, with its revenue soaring by 23% to €14.8 billion last year. It made an adjusted EBITDA of €903 million, while the free cash flow to €250 million.
Meanwhile, Uber stock has fallen as it explores a split from its Waymo deal. Just last week, Waymo said that it would end its exclusivity in Austin and Atlanta in January 2028.
According to the FT, the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated as they have become direct competitors in some markets. Also, the two sides are lobbying for robotaxi legislation that would benefit their businesses at the expense of the other. A full breakup between the two companies would dent Uber’s autonomous ambitions since it already sold its in-house business in 2020.
On the positive side, Uber has become a bargain, especially for a company with such a big market share. It now trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 16, lower than the S&P 500 average of 21.

The weekly chart suggests that Uber shares may have more downside to go. It has slumped from a high of $101 in September last year to the current $65. It recently formed a bearish flag pattern and has moved below the lower side.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has formed a descending channel and has moved below the neutral level of 50. Therefore, the path of the least resistance for the stock is downwards, with the next key target to watch being at $50.
Earlier this month, semiconductor research firm SemiAnalysis reported that Nvidia (NVDA -1.01%) was facing major setbacks with its Kyber NVL144 rack-scale solution. The server cabinet, designed to house Nvidia's Rubin Ultra architecture, had been delayed over 12 months to 2028, according to SemiAnalysis.
Nvidia issued a brief statement saying its roadmap is intact. More recently, CEO Jensen Huang weighed in while speaking to reporters at a developer event.

Huang's response to the delay claims When asked about potential delays in Vera Rubin, Huang said the reports are "not true." He also explained that "Vera Rubin is already in production. Giant amounts of production incoming."
Although Huang confirmed production, that's not new information -- Nvidia confirmed this back in January. It's also worth noting that while Huang addressed chip production, the report was concerning the Kyber rack. He didn't provide a production timeline, and neither did Nvidia, in its prior response.
Perhaps most important for Nvidia investors is Huang's claim about giant amounts of production, because Vera Rubin is a crucial part of the chipmaker's forward earnings projections and valuation.
Why an intact roadmap matters for Nvidia Nvidia has made a habit of delivering blowout earnings reports, with revenue growing for 14 consecutive quarters. Most recently, revenue was up 85% year over year to a record $81.6 billion in its Q1 fiscal year 2027 (which ended April 26, 2026). That consistent revenue growth stems from its status as the leading GPU company and its practice of updating its AI chips every year. AI companies that want to remain competitive need to continually upgrade to Nvidia's latest chips.

This has worked out well for Nvidia so far, but any major delay that knocks the chipmaker off its update cadence could negatively impact its earnings. Earlier this year, Huang provided a sales forecast of $1 trillion combined for Blackwell and Vera Rubin through 2027, so there's little room for setbacks. A slowdown would also give other chipmakers, such as Advanced Micro Devices, room to potentially cut into Nvidia's market share.
What to watch Delay concerns for Nvidia look to be overstated, based on Huang's recent comments. And even though SemiAnalysis reported the delays, it's still bullish on Nvidia, forecasting that the chipmaker's data center revenue will exceed analyst estimates by 20% in the second half of its fiscal 2027.
The concrete data will be in Nvidia's upcoming earnings calls, with the next one scheduled for Aug. 26. If Nvidia continues to top analyst expectations and raise guidance, then that will be a good sign that there are no issues with the product roadmap.
Teva se přesouvá od generik k novým lékům a Wall Street na ni má nákupní doporučení. Analytici vidí podle 12měsíčních cílů potenciál růstu o 28 % až 60 %.
Companies must evolve to stay relevant in the pharmaceutical industry. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA -1.19%) is in the midst of its own transformation, from making generic drugs and biosimilars to novel drugs that are beginning to deliver growth and profits that are catching Wall Street's eye.
Every single Wall Street analyst polled by CNN Business currently has a buy rating on the pharmaceutical stock. Based on 12-month price targets, Teva could have anywhere from 28% to 60% upside from its current price, according to the analysts.
It seems like a bold call, considering the broader stock market has left the stock in the dust. Teva is down 40% over the past decade. But sometimes, these comeback stories produce the biggest returns. Here's why Wall Street analysts are right to be bullish about the stock right now.
Image source: Getty Images.
Teva is pivoting from generics to boost growth For a while, Teva had specialized in generics and biosimilars. Generic drugs are often simple formulations that typically sell at low margins. CEO Richard Francis took over in January 2023. He has helped guide the company further into developing novel drugs. This is a riskier path because drug development is expensive and many drugs fail to reach the market. However, a successful drug enjoys years of patent protection and can generate millions, even billions, of high-margin dollars in sales.

Revenue from generic drugs and biosimilars was $612 million in the first quarter of 2026, down 28% from a year ago on weaker generic sales. Generics and biosimilars accounted for 40% of Teva's total sales in Q1, and management expects biosimilars to continue growing and drive this group as generics become a smaller part of the business.
But branded drugs are moving the needle in the right direction. Teva's top-selling drug, Austedo, grew 41% to $559 million. Austedo is a treatment for tardive dyskinesia, a condition that causes involuntary facial movements. Management anticipates Austedo hitting $2.4 billion to $2.55 billion in sales for the full year, up from $2.26 billion in 2025.
Nearly all of Teva's other branded products are much smaller right now, but are growing at double-digit rates.

Becoming a better business for the long term Revenue growth might not jump off the page right away. Despite the impressive growth in these branded sales, Teva expects total revenue to fall from $17.3 billion in 2025 to $16.4 billion to $16.8 billion this year. The key difference here is that these are higher-quality dollars. Management is guiding for 30% operating margins in 2027 as branded sales continue to grow, up from only 12.5% last year.
Teva's biosimilars portfolio is gaining momentum, with sales expected to reach $800 million in 2027, more than offsetting lower generic sales. Additionally, Teva is bolstering its pipeline through acquisition. It recently bought Emalex Biosciences for $700 million, adding ecopipam, a developmental treatment for Tourette's syndrome in children, to its portfolio. Teva filed a New Drug Application with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for ecopipam last month, following positive data from its Phase 3 clinical trial.
Teva's price targets are attainable At roughly $31 per share, Teva is trading at 14 times Wall Street's 2026 earnings estimates, and only 10 times 2027 estimates. The leap in earnings from this year to next is likely due to the expectation of those 30% operating margins, as reiterated by management on the company's Q1 earnings call.
That's a pretty inexpensive valuation for a company that suddenly has a lot going for it. Assuming ecopipam hits the market and branded and biosimilar sales continue to grow, Teva should be able to sustain solid earnings growth beyond next year. The low valuation leaves tons of room for that to translate to tangible investment returns.
TEVA data by YCharts. EPS = earnings per share.
If Teva delivers results that boost the market's sentiment toward the stock, even trading at just 15 times 2027 earnings estimates puts the share price above Wall Street's median price target of $40. So, these targets are certainly possible if Teva's business continues to perform well.
Caterpillar za poslední rok vzrostl o více než 100 % díky optimismu kolem AI datacenter. Zásoba zakázek dosáhla rekordních 63 miliard USD, meziročně o 79 %.
Caterpillar (CAT -0.60%) is an industrial giant. You probably know its yellow construction equipment and iconic logo. It also makes generators capable of providing power in remote locations. The company's stock has risen more than 100% over the past year, easily besting the roughly 18% return of the S&P 500 index (^GSPC +0.05%). And artificial intelligence is a key source of Wall Street's enthusiasm. Here's what you need to know.
Caterpillar's products are vital to the AI build-out Worldwide spending on artificial intelligence could be as high as $2.59 trillion in 2026, according to Gartner Research. That figure would be up 47% year over year. That spending covers a lot of ground, including the construction of chip factories and AI data centers. You can't build massive facilities like these without the earth-moving equipment that Cat makes.

Meanwhile, AI data centers have faced significant backlash over the electricity they consume. Getting a grid attachment was already difficult and time-consuming, so the negative views of data centers from local residents and regulators aren't helping. But, again, Cat is there to lend a hand with its power systems.
Pretty simply, Caterpillar looks like it is in the right place at the right time. This helps explain why the company's backlog at the end of the first quarter stood at record levels. The $63 billion backlog represents future revenues, and the figure was up a huge 79% year over year. The rise in Caterpillar's stock price is simply a reflection of investor enthusiasm for the company's success.

Cat: There's a problem for investors to consider You should be happy if you purchased Caterpillar stock a year ago. However, the company's price advance has dramatically changed the valuation math if you're considering buying the stock today. Simply put, after such a large run, the stock looks expensive.
The 5.8x price-to-sales ratio is more than twice the five-year average of 2.6x. The 43x price-to-earnings ratio is more than twice the five-year average of 19x. Even if you are looking to the future, given the strong backlog, the stock still looks pricy. Caterpillar's forward P/E ratio is 36x compared to a five-year average of 17x. The 0.7% dividend yield is historically low for the stock and is even less than the 1% you'd get from an S&P 500 index fund. The data center math has fueled Cat's rally, but it also appears to have led Wall Street to place a steep premium on the shares.

Sandisk před zveřejněním výsledků 5. srpna těží z růstu trhu s paměťovými čipy a z toho, že Micron výrazně překonal očekávání. Firma ve 3. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 vykázala tržby 5,95 miliardy USD, nad odhadem ve výši 4,6 miliardy USD.
Sandisk (SNDK -10.87%) has been one of the hottest growth stocks of the year (up 579%), but it's down by more than 31% from its June 2026 all-time high. Where does that leave investors heading into Sandisk's Aug. 5 earnings report?
There are some hints that Sandisk will deliver blockbuster results when it releases its report. These are the green flags investors should keep in mind as Aug. 5 draws closer.
Image source: Getty Images.
Micron usually foreshadows Sandisk's earnings Memory chips are gaining substantial traction, and Micron Technology (MU -7.24%) proved that was the case when it reported its fiscal 2026 third-quarter results. These results are a pretty big deal for Sandisk investors since the company has been growing faster than Micron in recent quarters.
Micron more than quadrupled its revenue year over year, crushing its guidance in the process. The memory chipmaker also delivered more than 70% sequential growth. Guidance only suggested $33.5 billion in revenue at the midpoint, which would have been approximately a 40% sequential improvement.
With this important context, let's take a closer look at Sandisk's results for the fiscal 2026 third quarter, which ended April 3. Revenue almost doubled sequentially, outpacing the growth rate Micron exhibited in its groundbreaking quarter. For Q3, Sandisk implied $4.6 billion in revenue at the midpoint of guidance and ended up reporting $5.95 billion.
Sandisk guided for $8 billion in revenue at the midpoint of its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results. Recent history and Micron's results suggest that Sandisk will smash guidance. Micron's $41.5 billion in revenue shocked the most ardent bulls, and the company then guided for $50 billion in the following quarter.
If Sandisk continues to follow the pattern of crushing guidance, its recent dip looks like a compelling buying opportunity.

The memory chip boom isn't fading Memory chips are cyclical, and supply shortages can quickly turn into inventory gluts. That has been the narrative for multiple decades, and it may explain why memory chipmakers saw their share prices drop just after Micron reported earnings, but the AI build-out is quite exceptional.
Companies with real revenue and rising AI capacity needs are fueling the boom, which makes the dot-com comparison illegitimate. Furthermore, Micron announced it was entering multiyear strategic agreements with customers. This multiyear setup makes the company less susceptible to the bust part of the memory chip cycle. Competitors like Sandisk are likely to follow suit, which can make the current dip attractive.
Moreover, Alphabet boosted its capital expenditures target yet again. The company intends to spend up to $205 billion on capital expenditures this year, and some of that money will have to go to memory chips like the ones Sandisk creates.
These are long-term tailwinds that should continue to propel Sandisk stock to new highs. Expect a beat-and-raise type of quarter. It's just a matter of how much Sandisk beats its guidance for Q4 and what the company tells investors about its upcoming fiscal 2027.
Expectations are low for Royal Caribbean (RCL +3.57%) heading into a critical financial update this week. The country's largest cruise line operator -- by market cap -- is expected to post a modest 6% increase in revenue when it reports its second-quarter results ahead of Tuesday's market open. The bottom line is expected to go the other way.
Royal Caribbean's own guidance three months ago braced investors for contracting margins. Overseas geopolitical tensions would weigh on some of its higher-yielding itineraries. Rising fuel costs are also an obvious headwind, but that's not the only expense percolating. Its guidance for the seasonally potent summertime quarter calls for a 4.9% to 5.4% increase in net cruise costs per available passenger cabin day, and that's excluding the fuel factor.
Image source: Getty Images.
The bottom line could be problematic. Royal Caribbean's guidance in late April called for adjusted earnings per share of $3.83 to $3.93 for the quarter it's reporting this week. Analyst per-share estimates are a bit more ambitious at $3.98 a share, and this follows a poorly received report from larger rival Carnival (CCL +4.20%) last month.
Carnival's fiscal year ends a month earlier than Royal Caribbean's, but the latter's second quarter still covers two of the three months that Carnival just reported. Carnival's top-line miss and weak bottom-line guidance hurt the stock. Royal Caribbean will need to buck the trend by offering a reasonable outlook. Don't be surprised if it does exactly that.

Open waters Royal Caribbean's secret weapon -- the one thing that can prove naysayers wrong this week -- is that it is historically a superior operator than its rivals. Why do you think Royal Caribbean commands the larger market cap and enterprise value despite being a smaller company in terms of revenue and fleet size?
Royal Caribbean has earned its market premium. It has historically posted superior revenue growth and net margin. It was the first of the major ocean liners to return to profitability as well as resume paying quarterly dividends.
Royal Caribbean is cheap, trading for 17 times this year's earnings and less than 15 times next year's target. Carnival may command an even lower forward multiple, but it has also been a relative laggard over long stretches of time. This would be an ideal time to prove Royal Caribbean is worthy of that industry premium.

A little over a month ago, Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX -2.85%) completed the largest IPO in history. Initially, SpaceX stock surged, briefly touching an intraday high above $225 per share and eclipsing Amazon's market capitalization.
However, over the last few weeks, SpaceX stock has witnessed significant pressure. As of the closing bell Thursday, shares were down by 48% from their post-IPO high, and off 21% from their opening price on the first day of trading. With SpaceX's first earnings report as a public company scheduled for Aug. 4, is now an opportunity to buy the dip?
Image source: Getty Images.
What does Wall Street expect for SpaceX earnings? The consensus estimate among analysts is that SpaceX will report revenue of roughly $6.9 billion and a loss of $0.28 per share for the second quarter. While this would represent a 47% increase from the company's first-quarter revenue, the bottom line is expected to remain deeply negative -- underscoring the capital-intensive nature of SpaceX's various businesses.
Keep an eye out for these issues on the earnings call Analysts will likely press management for information on a number of operational issues. For starters, they will want details about Starship Flight 13, which SpaceX was forced to scrub at launch earlier this month.
Wall Street will almost certainly ask questions about SpaceX's AI roadmap as well. Specifically, management should touch on progress around its $82 billion worth of capacity contracts with Google Cloud, Anthropic, and Reflection AI, and also address the integration of the company's recent $60 billion Cursor acquisition.

Smart investors understand that timing stock purchases around a single event is a fool's errand. Employing a long-term horizon and a steady investing cadence remains the most reliable approach to creating wealth.
Currently, it is simply too difficult to know whether SpaceX stock is a falling knife or simply undergoing a temporary correction. Prudent investors would be best off sitting on the sidelines until the company reports earnings. Then, they can digest the numbers and management's commentary before making a decision about whether to buy shares.

Alphabet zvýšil odhad kapitálových výdajů na AI datová centra v roce 2026 na 195–205 miliard USD. Akcie po výsledcích za 2. čtvrtletí klesly asi o 7 %.
Alphabet (GOOG +0.21%)(GOOGL +0.58%) released its operating results for the second quarter of 2026 (ended June 30) after the market closed on Wednesday. Once again, artificial intelligence (AI) fueled strong revenue growth in important businesses like Google Search and Google Cloud.
However, Alphabet said it plans to spend even more on AI data centers during 2026 than originally expected, which made investors uneasy. These capital expenditures (capex) could seriously hurt the company's earnings power over the next few years, and thus lead to sluggish returns in its stock.
Alphabet stock immediately fell by around 7% following the release of the Q2 report, and it's now down 20% from its recent all-time high. Could this be the ultimate buying opportunity for long-term investors?

Another strong quarter for Google Search and Google Cloud Google Search's advertising business is Alphabet's largest source of revenue. The company has infused AI-powered features into the search engine to fight off the competitive threat from chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT, and the strategy is working.
First, AI Overviews use text, images, and links to third-party sources to provide AI-generated answers to queries in Google Search. They appear above the traditional search results, so users no longer have to dig through web pages to find the information they need. Then there is AI Mode, which opens a chatbot-style interface where users can expand on their original query by asking follow-up questions. AI Mode already has 1 billion monthly active users, despite only launching globally last October.
Alphabet said these features are driving increased search usage overall. This is great news because it means users are seeing more ads, and the company is making more money. On that note, Google Search generated a record $63.3 billion in revenue during Q2, up 17% from the year-ago period.

Google Cloud also had a very strong quarter. The cloud platform operates data centers all over the world that house thousands of specialized AI chips, and it rents the computing power to other businesses. It also offers a platform called Gemini Enterprise, where businesses can turn that computing capacity into finished AI chatbots, agents, and other applications. Alphabet says 90% of the Fortune 100 companies are using it already.
Google Cloud has consistently been the fastest-growing piece of Alphabet's business over the last couple of years, purely because of demand for AI-related services. Its revenue surged by 82% during Q2, to $24.8 billion.
Alphabet raised its capital expenditures forecast While Google Cloud is already growing at a blistering pace, it had a staggering $514 billion order backlog as of June 30, a $50 billion increase from the first quarter of 2026 just three months earlier. Most of that backlog was from AI customers who were waiting for more data center capacity to come online. In order to meet their needs, Alphabet has to spend a truckload of money to build more infrastructure.
When discussing the company's Q2 operating results, management said capex was on track to come in somewhere between $195 billion and $205 billion during 2026. That forecast was revised higher from $180 billion to $190 billion in management's previous update, and it followed $91 billion in spending last year.
Data centers and chips usually have a useful life of several years, so Alphabet doesn't account for these costs up front. Instead, it depreciates the infrastructure over time, which means these enormous capex sums could erode Alphabet's profits for years to come. That won't be a problem if AI computing capacity and enterprise tools remain in high demand, but that isn't a guarantee.
That's why investors wince every time a hyperscaler like Alphabet ramps up its capex plans even further. Every misallocated dollar today could reduce the company's earnings and dent its stock price for a very long time.
Alphabet stock looks cheap, so should investors buy the dip? On the surface, Alphabet's Q2 earnings soared by 294% year over year to $9.11 per share. But that's only because the company experienced a staggering $98 billion increase in the value of its investment holdings in companies like Anthropic and Space Exploration Technologies, which had nothing to do with its operating performance.
If we exclude those gains and also factor in Alphabet's capex, the company actually generated negative free cash flow of $5.8 billion during Q2.
Alphabet stock is trading at a much lower price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio than the Nasdaq-100 index (24.3 versus 33.4), suggesting it's cheaper than a basket of its big-tech peers. However, the stock might be far more expensive than it appears at face value after accounting for investment gains and capex, as demonstrated above.
I'm not saying Alphabet is a bad investment. It's a brilliant company with loads of long-term potential. But as an investor who doesn't already own it, I plan to wait on the sidelines for some of the dust to settle. If management adopts a more cautious approach to capex over the next couple of quarters, I might consider buying the stock.

Under Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway built a substantial stake in Apple. It still ranks as the company's largest equity investment, accounting for 22% of its U.S. stock portfolio. But Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, added a second megacap stock in the first quarter: Alphabet (GOOGL +0.58%) (GOOG +0.21%).
Berkshire initially had 2% of its U.S. stock portfolio in Alphabet, but Abel tripled the stake in the second quarter. Alphabet now accounts for 6% of Berkshire's domestic equity investments, a noteworthy change because the company's $263 billion U.S. stock portfolio accounts for a large percentage of its $1 trillion market value.

Alphabet monetizes AI at multiple layers of the value chain Alphabet stock is compelling not only because the company has reported strong financial results in several consecutive quarters, but also because it has strong growth prospects tied to cloud computing and artificial intelligence, not to mention its dominant position in internet search and advertising.
Alphabet reported encouraging financial results in the second quarter, despite missing Wall Street's consensus estimate on the bottom line. Revenue climbed 24% to $119.8 billion, the sixth straight acceleration, driven by particularly strong sales growth in the cloud segment. Operating income (which excludes unrealized gains from its investment in SpaceX) increased 31% to $40.8 billion.
"It's clear that our AI investments and full-stack approach are driving performance across our business," CEO Sundar Pichai explains. That full-stack approach -- meaning Alphabet develops products at every layer of the value chain -- creates cost efficiencies and lets the company innovate more quickly than competitors that rely on third-party suppliers.
Beyond that, Alphabet's full-stack strategy means it can monetize AI in several different ways. Revenue streams include custom chips (tensor processing units or TPUs), cloud infrastructure services, proprietary models (Gemini), and applications like Google Search, YouTube, and Gemini Enterprise. No other company touches every layer of the value chain to the same degree as Alphabet.
Custom silicon, in particular, is important because it represents a relatively nascent growth opportunity. Alphabet's TPUs are the second-most popular AI accelerators behind Nvidia's GPUs. Alphabet is unlikely to dethrone Nvidia, but it is well positioned to gain market share as companies search for more cost-efficient AI infrastructure solutions.
Indeed, Pichai recently told analysts, "As TPU demand grows from AI labs, capital markets firms, and high-performance computing applications, we will begin to deliver TPUs to a select group of customers in their own data centers." In other words, Alphabet is now selling custom chips directly to customers, in addition to renting TPUs through its cloud computing platform.

Alphabet stock trades at a very reasonable valuation after its post-earnings drawdown Alphabet stock is down 7% since the company announced second-quarter financial results on July 22, and shares currently trade 21% below the record high they hit in May. The recent drawdown reflects anxiety about the company raising its capital expenditure (capex) outlook for the year.
"We are updating our full-year 2026 capex guidance range to $195 billion to $205 billion, up from our previous estimate of $180 billion to $190 billion," explained CFO Anat Ashkenazi on the earnings call. Demand for AI infrastructure continues to exceed supply, so Alphabet is trying to address that problem as quickly as possible.
I think the market overreacted. Alphabet's cloud revenue increased 82% during the second quarter, the fifth straight acceleration. Admittedly, the company has spent a tremendous amount of money to fund that growth, but investments in AI infrastructure are paying off. Neither Amazon nor Microsoft has reported cloud sales growth anywhere close to that figure in recent quarters.
Looking ahead, the Wall Street consensus says Alphabet's earnings will increase at 14% annually during the next three years. That makes the current valuation of 16 times earnings look quite reasonable. Investors should be comfortable purchasing a stake in this AI stock today, especially after the recent sell-off.
Microsoft čelí rostoucím pochybnostem o své sázce na AI: akcie jsou za 12 měsíců níže o více než 24 % a investoři sledují tlak na Azure, Microsoft 365 i GitHub.

Three years ago, Satya Nadella catapulted Microsoft to the front of the AI race and became "like a superhero," one recent former Microsoft executive said.
In February 2023, after betting early on OpenAI, the CEO unveiled Microsoft's AI-powered Bing search engine before a packed audience outside Seattle, and declared a war on Google's search dominance. "A race starts today," he said. Waves of adulation followed. When Nadella helped navigate OpenAI's board crisis later that year, Bill Gurley called it an "amazing shift in corporate reputation." CNN Business chose Nadella as the CEO of the Year.
Inside Microsoft and across the tech industry, Nadella was hailed for seizing the future. Now, his legacy is at stake.
Microsoft's stock is down more than 24% from 12 months ago, significantly worse than the rest of the Magnificent 7. Investors have grown increasingly skeptical that the company's multibillion-dollar AI bet will deliver. Copilot, Microsoft's flagship AI product, lags behind other AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. LinkedIn has drawn criticism for becoming flooded with AI-generated hustleporn. Xbox's business is "not healthy," its CEO recently said, and undergoing layoffs and restructuring as it tries to justify the company's record-breaking $69 billion Activision Blizzard acquisition.
And inside the company, employees are questioning Microsoft's plans to spend a record $190 billion this year to build AI infrastructure. As generative AI changes how people work, write software, and consume information, three of the company's core businesses hang in the balance: Microsoft 365, GitHub, and Azure. Investors will get a report card on these challenges on Wednesday, when the company releases its fourth-quarter earnings results.
As AI adoption spreads through corporate America, every software company is fighting to fend off the so-called SaaSpocalypse. But the battle is particularly fraught for Nadella's Microsoft, which made an early and loud bet on AI to propel the company's future. Now the company's north star has also become a potential noose.
For decades, Microsoft's productivity software has been the default homeroom where knowledge workers start their day. They opened Word to write, Excel to analyze data, and PowerPoint to build presentations. Now, millions of those workers are beginning to do all these things directly inside AI tools. Gartner analysts earlier this year predicted AI would threaten to dethrone traditional productivity suites like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace in a $58 billion market shakeup.
Microsoft executives point to continued growth in Microsoft 365 and increasing Copilot adoption as evidence customers still want Microsoft's products at the center of their workdays. "The M365 business is seeing tons of new adoption and M365 Copilot usage," one executive said, who said the company is specifically chasing computing capacity to meet the demand.
GitHub faces a similar challenge. Since acquiring the software development platform in 2018, the company has held a dominant position with developers and had an early advantage in AI coding through GitHub Copilot. And it continues to grow: The platform recently had its "best month ever," an executive told employees in internal meeting comments viewed by Business Insider, though he didn't say by what measure.
But upstarts have swarmed in, as millions of engineers have adopted Cursor — which SpaceX recently announced plans to acquire for $60 billion — and Anthropic's Claude Code. As Business Insider previously reported, executives have discussed internally the need to overhaul GitHub to better compete with those AI-native coding tools. AI demand has also strained Github. As AI usage surged GitHub has experienced dozens of major outages this year.
The company is also struggling broadly to keep up with the demand for compute capacity. Despite this crunch, Microsoft is raising salespeople quotas for selling its cloud computing platform, Azure, some by 30% this year, according to people familiar with the change.
Azure remains Microsoft's fastest-growing strategic business, but internally executives say it has become a constant balancing act. Demand for computing infrastructure has outpaced the company's ability to build new capacity, forcing Microsoft to make difficult decisions about where its resources go. Even with this year's $190 billion capital expenditures — largely to expand data-center capacity for AI workloads — executives say the company is still constrained.
Earlier this year, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood suggested Microsoft was prioritizing scarce computing resources for its own AI products before allocating the remaining capacity to Azure customers.
"The first thing we're doing is solving for the increased usage in sales and the accelerating pace of M365 Copilot, as well as GitHub Copilot, our first-party apps," Hood said during Microsoft's January earnings call. "Then we make sure we're investing in the long-term nature of R&D and product innovation... Then what you end up with is the remainder going towards serving the Azure capacity that continues to grow in terms of demand."
Why would Satya prioritize growing Adobe over growing M365?Microsoft executiveIf Microsoft had allocated the GPUs that came online during the first half of its fiscal year to Azure instead of its own AI products, Azure growth would have exceeded 40% instead of 39%, Hood said. Microsoft previously reported $75 billion in Azure revenue for its 2025 fiscal year.
That earnings report triggered one of Microsoft's biggest post-earnings stock declined by more than 10% as investors questioned the company's slower Azure outlook despite record AI spending and growing concerns that Microsoft was diverting capacity away from cloud customers.
Executives who spoke to Business Insider say those tradeoffs have intensified.
Microsoft is so desperate for capacity that it's turning to competitors to help relieve some of those constraints. Following a series of GitHub outages, Amazon bailed Microsoft out. The company also explored leasing Oracle cloud infrastructure but Microsoft walked away due to security and compliance concerns.
Microsoft is now seeking additional cloud capacity from other providers, including evaluating Amazon and Google, according to people familiar with the discussions. "We are shopping for capacity everywhere," one of those people said.
While prioritizing internal services has a mixed reception on Wall Street, the strategy is clear within Microsoft.
"All of the supply is gone once you solve for frontier labs and our internal businesses like M365 and Microsoft AI," one executive said.
Those decisions have created difficult conversations internally.
"Why would Satya prioritize growing Adobe over growing M365?" the person said. "I have no idea how we're going to land that message with customers."
As the pressure on Microsoft's core businesses mounts, Nadella has been bearing that pressure down on his workforce, and reshaping the structure of the company and its leaders.
As Business Insider previously reported, Nadella promoted Judson Althoff to CEO of Microsoft's commercial business to free himself and the company's engineering leaders to focus more directly on AI. Althoff was previously Microsoft's longtime sales boss but the role gave him a bigger profile. In an internal memo viewed by Business Insider at the time, Nadella described the moment as "a tectonic AI platform shift."
The mounting pressure on Nadella has trickled down through Microsoft's ranks from the executive suite to the rank-and-file employee.
At the same time, Nadella has remade his inner circle. Business Insider previously reported that Microsoft effectively retired its traditional senior leadership team structure in favor of smaller, flatter leadership groups. AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has narrowed his focus to Microsoft's superintelligence efforts, top Nadella lieutenant Rajesh Jha retired, longtime product and marketing leader Yusuf Mehdi is preparing to leave the company, and more executive changes are expected.
According to people familiar with the succession planning, Hayete Gallot, who recently returned to Microsoft from Google to lead the company's security business, is viewed internally as the long-term successor to Althoff as sales chief. Gallot previously worked for Althoff and left in what one executive told Business Insider was "not an amicable departure." Nadella recruited Gallot back to replace Charlie Bell, who moved into an individual contributor role focused on engineering quality. Rodrigo Kede Lima, who Microsoft just put in charge of a $2.5 billion AI sales unit, is also a rising star, one of the people said.
The changes extend beyond the executive suite. Business Insider has learned that Microsoft overhauled its performance review system this year, simplifying ratings into five categories while making performance distinctions significantly sharper.
Executives say the new process feels like a return to "stack ranking," the controversial system that evaluated employees relative to one another during the Steve Ballmer era. At the same time, managers have been instructed to reduce the number of employees in higher-level engineering roles as Microsoft continues flattening parts of the organization, emblematic of a broader hardcore work culture that's spread across Big Tech in the last few years.
"It's almost like the old era of Microsoft is back," one former executive said. "The old Windows era where you lead with a lot of fear and a billy club in your hand."
For years, Microsoft's greatest strength was that it owned where people worked and where developers built software. AI is beginning to challenge both assumptions at once. Now Nadella's legacy won't be defined by whether Microsoft can build the best AI, but by whether it can keep AI from eroding the businesses that made it one of the world's most valuable companies.

Ovintiv zvýšil celoroční výhled produkce ropy a kondenzátu na 210 000 až 212 000 barelů denně po silnějším výkonu v Permianu. Ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázal volný peněžní tok 682 milionů USD.
Ovintiv (NYSE:OVV) reported second-quarter 2026 free cash flow of $682 million and cash flow per share of $4.46, with both measures exceeding consensus estimates, according to executives on the company’s earnings call. The company also raised its full-year oil and condensate production outlook after production from its Permian operations surpassed expectations.
President and CEO Brendan McCracken said the company generated more than $1.3 billion in free cash flow during the first half of the year and returned approximately 63% of second-quarter free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases and its base dividend. Ovintiv expects full-year shareholder returns to exceed 60%, following returns of about 45% year to date.
Production Guidance Raised on Permian Outperformance Second-quarter oil and condensate production averaged 206,000 barrels per day, above the high end of Ovintiv’s guidance, while total production was 615,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Chief Financial Officer Corey Code said the production beat was driven by both new-well productivity and stronger-than-expected base production in the Permian Basin.
The company raised its full-year oil and condensate production guidance to between 210,000 and 212,000 barrels per day. Ovintiv also increased the go-forward Permian oil production run rate to 125,000 barrels per day from 120,000 barrels per day previously, without adding capital spending or drilling activity.
Code said the revised outlook, combined with year-to-date repurchases, represents about 4% oil production growth on a per-share basis. Ovintiv maintained its full-year capital guidance and expects third-quarter capital spending of approximately $575 million, in line with second-quarter spending. Third-quarter total production is expected to average roughly 628,000 BOE per day, including about 208,000 barrels per day of oil and condensate.
Natural gas production came in below guidance during the quarter because of planned Montney plant turnarounds, although Ovintiv said the revenue impact was limited by weak AECO natural gas prices. The company maintained the midpoint of its prior full-year natural gas outlook at 2.05 billion cubic feet per day and increased full-year NGL guidance to about 84,000 barrels per day.
Debt Reduction and Buyback Focus Ovintiv reduced net debt by about $3.4 billion during the quarter, using proceeds from its Anadarko disposition and a portion of free cash flow. Quarter-end net debt stood at $2.995 billion, resulting in a leverage ratio of 0.6 times.
Code said the lower debt balance represented a key milestone for the company, while Fitch upgraded Ovintiv’s credit rating to BBB from BBB low. McCracken said the company views its capital structure as appropriately sized and plans to balance additional debt reduction, share repurchases and smaller land-focused transactions.
During the question-and-answer session, McCracken said Ovintiv sees value in repurchasing shares but does not have a “crystal ball” on commodity prices. He said the company expects its “ground game” acquisitions to be in the low hundreds of millions of dollars range and focused on modest-sized deals in the Permian and Montney.
Operational Technology and Montney Developments Chief Operating Officer Greg Givens attributed Permian outperformance to improved new-well results, base-production optimization and the company’s development approach, which includes co-developing stacked zones from a single pad and timing adjacent development projects to limit pressure depletion.
Givens said Ovintiv has completed approximately 400 Permian wells with surfactant treatments since 2019 and has seen about a 9% improvement in oil productivity compared with wells that did not receive the treatment. The company estimates the surfactants account for roughly half of its productivity uplift over the past several years. Ovintiv said the treatment costs about $100,000 per well.
The company is beginning to evaluate surfactant use in the Montney, where McCracken said it remains in the early stages. Ovintiv also cited the use of AI, automation and its Permian Operations Control Center as contributors to reduced downtime, improved artificial-lift performance and stronger base production.
In the Montney, planned plant turnarounds were completed in the second quarter. Ovintiv said it prioritized production from its most liquids-rich wells during the outages, limiting the effect on condensate volumes. Based on current strip prices, the company expects second-half Montney condensate production of 80,000 to 85,000 barrels per day.
Canadian condensate realizations averaged about $94 per barrel during the quarter, at a premium to WTI, Givens said. Ovintiv also reported that its Montney gas realization was 187% of AECO, supported by physical sales arrangements, financial contracts and approximately $40 million of sulfur revenue. Sulfur, a byproduct from certain Montney gas operations, benefited from historically high prices during the period.
Inventory, Sand Supply and Market Access McCracken said Ovintiv has added more than 3,200 Permian and Montney drilling locations since 2023 at an average cost of $1.4 million per net 10,000-foot location. The company estimates it has nearly 15 years of premium inventory in the Permian and close to 20 years of premium oil inventory in the Montney.
Ovintiv said it has already replaced its planned 2026 drilling locations in both regions through organic additions. In the Permian, the company is evaluating approximately 100,000 acres of Barnett potential on acreage it has held for more than a decade. Givens said Ovintiv has drilled and cored the vertical section of its first Barnett well in Martin County and expects the well to begin production late this year.
In the Montney, Ovintiv said completion speeds have averaged more than 4,900 feet per day year to date, about 20% faster than its 2023 pace. The company recently completed more than 7,000 lateral feet per day in a simul-frac operation and completed Canada’s first 100% domestic wet-sand pad, according to management. Domestic wet sand is roughly 20% less expensive than imported dry sand, the company said, though Ovintiv expects broader adoption to depend on local supply infrastructure and could take until around 2028.
Management also said it continues to diversify its natural-gas pricing away from AECO and Waha. Ovintiv reported total company gas price realizations, including hedging, of $1.99 per Mcf during the quarter, or about 70% of NYMEX pricing.
