Broadcom (AVGO) Post-earnings Analysis Despite ambitious targets, Broadcom managed to beat quarterly earnings on Thursday and surpass estimates; however the stock is down in after-hours. The decline in the stock could be because the company’s leading product growth was in their software revenue, not their chip revenue. Markets are extremely bullish right now, but the biggest movers have been the companies reporting strong artificial intelligence chip growth, and even though Broadcom did that, it wasn’t enough for investors. Nonetheless, the semiconductor giant still reported a great quarter overall, coming in at $10.99 earnings per share and giving a guidance of $50B for the full year. Long term outlook: Across the board, semiconductor companies are trading at expensive multiples, far above...
Costco Post-earnings Analysis Costco reported quarterly earnings after the bell Thursday and while profits exceeded estimates, their revenue didn’t come in line with expectations. The wholesale retailer generated revenue of $58.44B for the quarter, slightly below the expected $59.1B, but still an increase from last quarter’s numbers. Profits were also up to $3.92 per share, beating the $3.62 estimates. E-commerce was a highlight for the company as it reflected online growth by 18.4% YoY, helping them compete against Amazon and Walmart. All in all, Costco reported a strong quarter, but shares fell on the revenue miss. At these highs any scent of bad news can drive traders to take profits, but the general trend remains bullish so there’s a chance...
Albemarle Corporation. Depository Shares Update and Technical Analysis Albemarle is starting off March by giving back nearly half of its February gains after the company announced a depository shares offering valued at $1.75B. The stock surged more than 20% last month due to lithium price increase, but investors are now afraid that the company is short on cash.

Their first quarter performance last year reflected a positive $1.16B in net income, but by Q4 they moved to nearly -$1B. While their balance sheet is healthy with $18B in assets...

CELH (Celsius) Pre-earnings Analysis Chart done on daily candles. CELH is set to report earnings this week on Thursday before market open and analysts are eager to see if the company can once again dominate the quarter like they did on their last report. Last quarter, analysts estimated the company would report .16 in EPS, but the company reported .30 instead, about 100% more than expectations. This quarter’s expectations are once again only .18 in EPS, but rising competition and food costs could reflect this time around; this could explain why analysts didn’t raise expectations much for the quarter. Celsius is in a very competitive market and their future is likely fated for a buy-out from giants like Coca-Cola or...
