some of the blame here has to sit with the US auto manufacturers - their inability to innovate and deliver a high quality and affordable EV is the one of, if not the main culprit here. China has multiple EV offerings coming from multiple manufacturers - across the affordability spectrum
“.. BloombergNEF estimated that EVs will be 27% of U.S. passenger vehicle sales in 2030, down from nearly 48% in last year's version of the annual look-ahead.”

As always, great piece from SemiAnalysis - this sums it up well:

“… Microsoft is one of the largest AI clouds in the world to companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. But they are renting GPUs to the barbarians who will ruin their castle in productivity software.”

The $AMZN call is really interesting - Jassy was asked multiple times how far underwater he would go on FCF and his responses were focused on framing how big the opportunity is for Amazon and AWS. It’s clear he is willing the spend and spend aggressively
February 6, 2026 at 12:59 AM
#$TSM down -1.60% ... makes sense
February 5, 2026 at 9:49 PM
stock is unch from this point
As AMZN sits right about flat on the year, and is now the worst performing mag-7 name, I suppose it's somewhat useful to highlight that since Andy Jassy became CEO in July of 2021 the stock has appreciated ~20.00%

He / AMZN is really, really betting on Project Ranier delivering
Now, I don't think the same can be said for AMZN...

If you're Andy Jassy you really, really need Project Ranier and Trainium silicon to deliver for Anthropic leading to that reacceleration in AWS into the 20%'s maybe into the mid 20's
February 5, 2026 at 9:46 PM
Tbh, I am quite shocked by the reaction in #$AMZN price right now - similar to the #$GOOGL call last night, mgmt needs to explain why the capex makes sense

AWS growing at fastest pace in over 3 years, while advertising keeps driving bottom line strength
February 5, 2026 at 9:10 PM
When Jensen told everyone that #$NVDA would do $500bn in Blackwell / Rubin revenue by EOY 2026, I suppose the street should've taken his word and taken up the capex numbers
February 5, 2026 at 9:07 PM
#$PANW sitting around its tariff april lows ... meanwhile #$CRWD is down -8.00% today

new year, same Jan / Feb price action for #$COST
February 5, 2026 at 3:35 PM
Coffee prices continue their decline, somewhat aggressively - not sure what is driving that. Should be good for the #$SBUX's of the world who have commented on margin pressure from elevated price

still well about the 2022-2024 levels
February 5, 2026 at 3:24 PM
#$OWL div yield is getting into the ... too good to be true level
February 5, 2026 at 2:43 PM
Good juxtaposition how big a beat #$GOOGL delivered yesterday -

After the Q3 print, MS saw a "path" for Google cloud to grow 50%+ in 2026

After yesterday's (Q4) print, MS now sees cloud growing 61% in 2026, with GCP growing more than 70% (all while backlog alone grew 55% QoQ)
February 5, 2026 at 1:17 PM
#$AMZN heading into tonight's print is down ~11% from its Q3 post earnings open high and down YoY from last Feb ... these big tech stocks just are not working

Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is leaving Philadelphia, he announced.

This ties out with some of my suspicions on how could $AAPL possibly handle the inference workload necessary to run AI on billions of devices - it’s likely $AAPL will run on GCP in the near to medium term before building out their infrastructure with their rumored Baltra hardware coming with $AVGO
Philipp Schindler (CBO) mentions that #$AAPL is not only using Gemini for its model workloads, but has chosen #$GOOGL as its preferred cloud partner

Momentum at Google Search for a business thought to be under siege until very recently is just 🔥. Revenue +17%, an acceleration of almost 400bp on 4-year stack. TAC still up less = services margin just off prior Q's ATH. #$GOOGL #$AMZN #$META #$NVDA

#$GOOGL grew Google Cloud revenues 48% over the last year. 56.4 cents of every new dollar of revenue flowed to operating income. That is...astounding. $5.7bn of new revenue, $3.2bn of new operating income.
February 4, 2026 at 9:31 PM
Sundar, wartime CEO??

Massive acceleration across the business and he doubles down with massive capex for FY26

Really interested to get context on the call, but investors will give #$GOOGL much more leeway that the other mega caps because they have proven ROI
February 4, 2026 at 9:10 PM
#$AVGO up 3.00%+ immediately on that #$GOOGL capex number

Jensen is right; however, that doesn't absolve certain SaaS comps from potential obscurity. Many have drained value from their customers (Alex Karp has argued this for quite some time)

The selling pressure now is broad, and incorrect, so there are buying opportunities, but not all will recover
Interesting perspective.
February 4, 2026 at 5:28 PM
With #$AVGO through the 200d, #$NVDA up next on the 200d watch. Of note, #$NVDA went through the 200d last year in the first week of Feb (on the back of the DeepSeek scare) before rebounding and then falling again on the tariff announcements
