$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Reddit(RDDT)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ 🚀📈🤖 AI Ad Surge Winners Are Building Multi-Quarter Momentum While Ad Spend Laggards Slip Into a Credibility Reset 🤖📈🚀 This quarter’s tech earnings made the split clear: companies embedding AI deep into their ad engines are extending their lead, while those missing the execution window are facing aggressive repricing. I’m positioning with the structural winners and steering clear of the names still trying to find their footing. 🏆 AI Ad Boom Winners $META, $GOOGL, and $RDDT have moved beyond testing AI features; they’re using it to scale targeting precision, boost engagement, and extract more revenue pe

Big Tech earnings season is just about wrapped up, with only Nvidia left on deck and the scoreboard among the Magnificent 7 is looking... mixed. So far, three of the seven managed to rally post-earnings. The other three — Tesla, Amazon, and Apple — stumbled. Not a total disaster, but it wasn’t a complete flop either. The AI narrative is still very much alive. Apple (AAPL) Amazon.com (AMZN) Tesla Motors (TSLA) As for me? I didn’t even bother watching most of the earnings this round, especially the AI-linked names. Not because I’m out of touch, but because I already know I'm not going to buy them. Whether the earnings were good, bad, or somewhere in between, I wasn’t planning to jump in. These stocks have run so far, so fast over the last few years that even a “bad” quarter doesn’t necessari

This Big Tech earnings season was intense, and Meta stood out. Its 11% jump showed strong AI-driven ad growth and solid guidance. On the flip side, Amazon disappointed — despite a beat, concerns over AWS growth and rising capex dragged the stock down. It shows investor expectations for cloud and AI are sky-high. Tesla also missed on auto sales, though its Robotaxi tease helped soften the blow. The AI theme is still dominant. Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet showed strong momentum, while Apple hinted at bigger AI plans. With Nvidia powering much of this, its earnings will be key — especially since Big Tech makes up over half its revenue. The chip pullback looks like a healthy pause. But with AI spending still rising, I remain bullish — especially on Nvidia leading the sector. Long-term demand

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ 🎯📉📦 Is Amazon Breaking the Trend or Building the Spring? 📦📉🎯 I’m fully convinced this $AMZN setup is the most misunderstood trade in the MAG7 right now; while every other name is flashing green, Amazon’s red candle is baiting the impatient. Beneath that dip is a precision unwind, coiled, not crumbling. Today, Amazon is down over $3 or 1.4%, while $QQQ, $NVDA, $TSLA, $AAPL, $GOOGL, $META, and $MSFT all post gains. But look closer: $META racked up +$19.86M in call premium, $GOOGL +$8.36M, $MSFT +$5.65M, and $AAPL +$2.71M. Amazon? It’s the outlier, with $6.06M in calls sold and $4.10M in puts bought; a net bearish lean that flips the drift negative. That’s not collapse.

🌟🌟🌟AI has become the ultimate performance filter.  Companies that are demonstrating tangible topline AI contributions are reaping outsized rewards, while those in limbo are taking a relative beating. Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is the un contested leader in the AI race.  With its dominance in data center GPUs projecting a USD 45 billion in Q2 25 revenue, investors are expecting more than just a simple beat.  Guidance in long term demand tied to AI workloads will be the key focus in Nvidia's forthcoming earnings report on August 27. In contrast Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ Q2 25 profit and revenue growth of just 2.4% and 4.1% trail its peers who are delivering double digit gains.  Delays in rolling

The latest Mag 7 earnings season has been a real stress test for Big Tech—and for the “AI boom” narrative that’s driven so much of the market’s gains. With only Nvidia left to report, we’ve seen a clear split: Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet delivered strong numbers and rallied, while Tesla, Amazon, and Apple stumbled despite years of market leadership. This divergence is a wake-up call that even the most beloved names can’t all win at once, and that the market is getting pickier about what kind of growth it will reward. For me, the biggest surprise was how little tolerance there was for anything less than perfection. Amazon and Apple posted solid results by any historical standard, but in this environment, merely “good” isn’t good enough—guidance, margins, and new growth levers matter more

Big tech continues to dominate in terms of performance. Despite the drop in share prices, the earnings for most of the companies were actually great. I feel that the chips sector will continue to outperform as the world continues to demand more computing power.

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ 🎯💰🔥 Big Tech’s $400B AI Arms Race Meets August’s Volatility Crossroads 🔥💰🎯 I’m extremely confident we’ve just crossed into a new era. Capital expenditures aren’t a cost; they’re a competitive weapon. The latest WSJ data confirms it: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are on pace to collectively spend over $400 billion annually on infrastructure. This is a seismic shift that redefines leadership in the AI-first economy. The visual escalation in quarterly capex is undeniable. After years of steady growth, the post-2023 acceleration has turned parabolic. The 2025 forecast towers above all prior years

The Magnificent Seven (Mag 7) earnings season is nearing its close, with only Nvidia yet to step up to the plate. This quarter delivered a rollercoaster of results: four of these tech titans rallied after their reports, while Tesla and Amazon hit speed bumps. Apple surprised with a beat-and-raise performance, powered by early iPhone purchases amid tariff threats, while Amazon’s stock slid 7% as AWS growth paled against rivals. As the dust settles, investors are left pondering—does Big Tech still hold its magic? Who stole the show? And is the AI boom still the golden ticket in today’s market? Let’s dive into the earnings wrap-up, unpack the surprises, and see if AI remains the unstoppable force driving stocks higher.

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple and Amazon $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ , two titans of the tech industry, are gearing up to release their Q3 2025 earnings on July 31, 2025. Both companies have maintained an impressive streak of beating earnings per share (EPS) estimates for eight consecutive quarters, with Apple surpassing revenue expectations in seven of those and Amazon matching that feat.

Apple’s stock has surged 5% post-earnings, while Amazon’s shares climbed 7% on a 12% volume spike, reflecting strong market validation. This quarter’s performance aligns with a broader structural trend of tech giants outpacing macro headwinds, bolstered by insider buying from Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and institutional inflows into $SMH and $ARKF ETFs.

This aligns with Apple's guidance from the last quarter for low-to-mid single-digit revenue growth. ~Gross Margin: Apple's guidance from the previous quarter projected a gross margin between 45.5% and 46.5%, which includes a $900 million impact from tariff-related costs. ~EPS: The consensus estimate for Earnings P

As I reflect on the Mag 7 Earnings Wrap-up titled "Is AI Boom Still Driving the Market?", I find myself intrigued by the performance of Big Tech this season.

Four companies rallied after their reports, which is encouraging, while Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   and Amazon $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  stumbled, showing some vulnerability in the sector.  I was particularly surprised by Apple's 

$Apple(AAPL)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Introduction: A Streak That Defines Dominance As the July 2025 earnings season hits full stride, two of the most iconic names in the S&P 500—Apple and Amazon—are once again center stage.

Their streaks, a rarity even among blue-chip giants, have not only buoyed investor confidence but also reinforced the notion that these tech juggernauts have evolved into durable cash machines, even amid economic uncertainty and shifting consumption patterns.

A Good Mystery Novel. The relationship between $Apple(AAPL)$ and Starlink is a complex saga of : Strategic rivalry. Missed partnerships. Ever evolving satellite connectivity strategies. The whole story is objectively summarized. Enjoy ! The Timeline Satellite Ambitions (2015–2022): Apple launched Project Eagle, an initiative to build its own satellite network, in partnership with $Boeing(BA)$. Aim - to provide high-speed wireless internet directly to Apple devices, bypassing telecom providers. The project faced significant regulatory hurdles and risked alienating key telecom partners like AT&T and Verizon. Ultimately, Apple shelved the project and opted for a more cautious approach.

I find the current earnings season quite telling, with the kickoff being far from optimistic. The fact that even earnings beats only lead to modest gains, while misses are punished heavily, suggests a cautious market sentiment. This trend is evident in the examples provided. I note with interest the case of Google $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  , where despite beating expectations, the stock opened higher but ended the day up just 0.88 percent. The subsequent 8 percent drop after earnings, leading to a total decline of 14 percent over three trading days, is a stark reminder of market volatility.
