Earnings PK: Nvidia Plays, Rocket, Chips, and Chinese ADRs — Any Trade Opportunities?

Earnings season keeps firing away: AI plays lose steam, rocket stocks fade after early gains, Chinese e-commerce faces another cold front, and crypto firms post stunning profits. Let’s see who beat, who missed — and who’s still worth buying?

1. Nvidia Concept Stocks: High Growth, High Volatility in the AI Supply Chain

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$: Beats but Delayed, Dragged Down by Nvidia’s Sell-Off

Q3 delivered a double beat, but delays at a third-party data center triggered a 16% one-day drop.

CEO said the issue was “limited to a single data center,” but CNBC’s Jim Cramer reported delays across Texas, Oklahoma, and North Carolina.

As an Nvidia concept stock, CoreWeave tends to fall harder whenever Nvidia pulls back. The stock closed at $88, just above its previous low of $84, with an RSI of 13.37.

$NEBIUS(NBIS)$: Revenue Miss; Strong Growth, Profit Under Pressure

Shares dropped ~5% after earnings but remain up 300% YTD.

• Revenue: $146.1M (+355% YoY), below expectations ($155.7M); Adjusted Net Loss: −$100.4M (vs. −$39.7M a year ago) — losses widened

• Signed a $3B, 5-year AI infrastructure contract with Meta; previously secured a $17.4B deal with Microsoft in September.

2. Rocket Stocks: Earnings Beat, Profit Miss — Correction Follows

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ — Top- and Bottom-Line Beat, but Shaky Outlook

Shares surged 8% pre-market but closed down 1.27%.

• Revenue: $155M vs. $152M est. → Beat 1.97%; EPS: −$0.03 vs. −$0.10 est. → Beat 70%

• Q4 Guidance: Revenue $170M–$180M (in line), EBITDA loss $23M–$29M (worse than FactSet’s −$13M).

AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) — Full Miss

Still in “storytelling mode,” ASTS missed Q3 estimates and warned 2025 revenue targets depend on multiple contingencies.

Maintained guidance of $50–$75M. CFO noted results could “deviate materially from projections.” Stock fell ~1%.

3. Chinese ADRs: AI Shines, JD.com Winter is Coming

$TENCENT(00700)$ & $Alibaba(BABA)$ — Core Beneficiaries of the AI Trend

CICC’s latest “Hong Kong Market Outlook 2026” highlights three themes: “AI industry trends, capacity consolidation, and external demand mapping.”

Tencent and Alibaba were named core AI beneficiaries. Tencent’s ecosystem — “Hunyuan” large model, enterprise AI services, and AI-driven content — is forming a closed loop.

If AI policy support and computing investment continue, Tencent could still deliver mid-term alpha.

$JD.com(JD)$ — Morgan Stanley Turns Bearish: “Winter Is Coming”

Downgraded from Equal-weight to Underweight.

Morgan Stanley called JD “the weakest e-commerce stock for the next 12 months,” citing weakening consumption after subsidy rollbacks. Research shows JD benefited most from these now-fading subsidies.

4. Bitcoin & Circle: Strong Earnings, But Rally Takes a Breather

Circle — Solid Beat Across the Board, Brief Pop Before Pullback

Shares popped briefly post-earnings, then fell 3%.

Revenue: $740M (+66% YoY); Net Profit: $214M (+202% YoY); Adjusted EBITDA: $166M vs. $132.5M est. → Beat 25%

1. Earnings season is halfway through — have you traded or are you planning to trade any of them?

2. Will JD fall as institution expects?

3. Now Circle and CoreWeave both trade around $90 — which looks like the better buy?

4. Can Circle close above $90?
