Biggest Takeaways from $META, $MSFT & $TSLA Earnings 👇

Biggest Takeaways from META, MSFT & TSLA Earnings 👇

1. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ All-In on AI

• Meta just obliterated expectations -- revenue surged 21% YoY to $48.4B, with EPS at $8.02, crushing estimates. The ad engine is running at full throttle, but the real story is AI. Meta is pouring $60B+ into AI infrastructure in 2025, an unprecedented bet that will reshape its ad targeting, engagement, and platform intelligence. With Llama 3 set to push AI cost efficiencies even further, Meta isn’t just integrating AI -- it’s rebuilding its entire ecosystem around it. The spending is massive, but in AI, winner-take-most dynamics apply -- and Meta is making sure it stays ahead.

2. $Microsoft(MSFT)$ Faces Cloud Headwinds

• Microsoft’s AI dominance is undeniable -- $13B in AI-driven revenue blew past expectations, solidifying its position as the enterprise AI leader. But the stock slid 5% post-earnings, as Azure’s 31% growth landed at the low end of expectations, and management walked back its prior forecast of a second-half acceleration. AI is booming, but traditional cloud workloads are slowing, raising questions about how quickly AI demand can offset broader Azure deceleration. With CapEx climbing to $22-23B per quarter in the back half of FY25 -- the burden of proof is now on Microsoft to show that AI can justify this level of investment.

3. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Bet on Autonomy

• Tesla’s Q4 numbers were weak -- EPS, revenue, and margins all missed, weighed down by pricing cuts and inventory discounts. But Musk doubled down on the long-term AI narrative, forecasting unsupervised FSD rollout in major U.S. markets in 2025 and scaling Optimus production in 2026. Tesla isn’t trying to win on cars alone -- it’s positioning itself as the AI and robotics leader. The question is whether execution can keep pace with the ambition. FSD and Robotaxi remain the biggest upside drivers, but near-term results left much to be desired. Investors need to weigh the long-term AI vision against short-term valuation and delivery risks.

My opinion is that if you trade on $TSLA you'll be trading on an idea or a believe. it is obvious that EM has moved on to more "sexy" toys. Moreover, $TSLA is facing A slew of headwinds against Chinese EV makers esp. BYD, LI and NIO. Accept it or not, EV is China's market, the U.S. market still likes the feel of raving engines. It's a different consumer base, these 2 countries.

Of the 3, I will stay away from TSLA. The real business has been under threat for some time. Margins and volumes have been falling or at best stagnating.

Now with his master’s trade tariff, and evoking of EV incentives, it is only going to get harder for Tesla.

Not only that, the recent positive price movement after results was also due to valuation of Tesla’s Bitcoin holding. Over the weekend, all Cryptos tanked big time.

Get ready for a bloody Monday.
