Salesforce (CRM) Pre-earnings Analysis Salesforce investors are hoping for a turnaround in the stock before the year ends as the company’s valuation sits 30% below where it started the year. The best chance for a turnaround boost could come from earnings, which are expected today after market close. Why has Salesforce sold off this year?It wasn’t necessarily a fault of their own, the company has great execution and dominates the customer relationship management (CRM) space. However investors weren’t so interested in mature businesses in 2025, they were more focused on hyper-growth. Sure, Salesforce posted a strong 8% and 10% revenue growth in the past two quarters, but that’s nothing compared to semiconductors and hyperscalers posting 30-60% revenue growth. Salesforce is...
VinFast Auto (VFS) Analysis VinFast is attempting to become another legacy name in the automotive industry with electric vehicles as the entry way. The company has 2-3 major models along with other products like electric scooters and e-buses, but the majority of their revenue is coming from vehicle sales. The company’s’ revenue growth has been strong, with last year posting 77% growth and the first two quarters of this year averaging a faster pace. While year over year growth is notable, it’s not enough to make VinFast a sound investment on its own. As a vehicle manufacturer, it’s easy to see strong revenue growth because you’re selling a high ticket item. In this case, VinFast is entering one of the...
XPeng (XPEV) Analysis XPeng is a prominent player in China’s electric vehicle market, priding itself on innovation and “smart” cars. The company can be compared to Tesla, with its primary focus on advancing vehicle technology and transforming passengers’ experience through autonomous driving, advanced connectivity, over the air updates (just like a phone), and other in-car services. Like Tesla, XPeng sees themselves less than a vehicle manufacturer and more of a technology company, and they’ve surely caught the eye of investors for this reason. $XPEV is up 93% year to date, even after the big pull back its seen in recent weeks. The stock’s rally can be attributed to their strong financial performance, which showed 138%, 125%, and 102% quarterly revenue...
Nvidia Pre-Earnings Analysis In a twist of events, Nvidia is under pressure ahead of their earnings report this week after multiple prominent figures are selling shares of the company or taking a bet against it. SoftBank, a major investment bank known for early bets on technology companies like AliBaba, Uber, DoorDash, and more, stated that they sold their entire share of Nvidia with the reason that they’re allocating capital to other large scale AI investments. This likely means that they’re not necessarily taking a negative view on AI, they’re just moving capital elsewhere in the space. As for Peter Theil, one of the most influential tech investors known for cofounding PayPal and Palantir, we don’t know exactly why he sold...
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Pre-earnings Analysis AMD is up more than 100% this year as it becomes the second golden child of the artificial intelligence boom after Nvidia. The company has seen record revenue growth, major AI partnerships, and expansion into data centers in the past 12 months, making it one of the hottest stocks on the market. But as shares hover near record highs, many investors are nervous about whether or not the company can meet earnings expectations. The quarterly earnings report is set for November 4th after market close and expectations are high. Revenue is forecast to grow about 28% from a year ago and earnings per shares by 30-35%. If AMD can meet these expectations, that would...
