Microsoft (MSFT) Pre-earnings Analysis Even after decades as a company, Microsoft is still performing like a high growth stock and finding ways to reinvest itself. The most prominent example of the company’s adaptive approach their transformation from their Windows business to the cloud-first ideology. Microsoft explicitly pivoted its business towards Azure, which has been an absolute success. Azure is now the backbone of Microsoft’s growth and competes directly with AWS. It’s a high margin business that’s based on longer term contracts, which gives them a ton of revenue visibility. Microsoft’s second pivot in recent years was into artificial intelligence. The company didn’t just introduce AI as an add-on, they embedded it across all its products (that’s the benefit of being...

Meta has been on a spending rampage in the past twelve months in an attempt to get ahead in the AI race. This isn't the first time Meta does this.

Netflix Pre-earnings Analysis At one point last year, Netflix seemed unstoppable. Shareholders enjoyed a massive rally since early 2023 that delivered more than 300% in returns, but that rally came to an end mid 2025, leading Netflix shares 35% lower. Netflix’s rally was backed by solid fundamentals and financial performance. The company has grown revenue at a steady pace for 24 months, recovering from a dip in revenue deceleration seen in 2022. Profits also rebounded, reaching record levels in 2024-2025. Netflix basically became a cash generator, allowing them to build up their free cash flow and maintain a healthy balance sheet. However the company’s recent aggressive bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery Studios has eclipsed their financial strength. Even if...
