Rigetti (RGTI) Earnings Analysis Quantum stocks were the next hottest trade after artificial intelligence last year in the technology space, but the rally was completely lost its momentum over the last two quarters. Names like Rigetti and D-Wave have failed more than 50% from their 12 month highs, likely because investors recognized that the technology is still years away. My recent visit to CES gave me the opportunity to listen to a White House advisor speak, and he stated that quantum funding and attention now is where AI was in 2018…this means there’s a future, but it’s very young. The names we’re hearing about today may be absolute a decade from now…especially given that companies with massive spending ability are...
Marvell Technology Pre-earnings Analysis It’s almost surprising that Marvell Technology didn’t see new record highs last year considering the company’s involvement in AI infrastructure, but by the time markets started to take notice, the AI buzz was fizzling down. Marvell’s attempt at a rally late last year was crushed, leaving it 25% lower than that its December highs. Now the company is set to report earnings, however sentiment appears to be highly uncertain ahead of the report. What do they do?Marvell designs semiconductors for data infrastructure. Things like customer AI accelerators, high speed ethernet switches, storage / networking silicon for data centers, enterprise networks, and more. All these components are an essential piece of the modern world, and Marvell has...
CoreWeave Pre-earnings Analysis The story of CoreWeave is not a story of a bad business, it is a story of an expensive and a competitive one. CoreWeave grew to be one of the most popular names in the AI boom. The company’s alignment with Nvidia gave them a reputation early on, but the stock’s early days of success on the market have turned sour, leaving it extremely volatile and sensitive. Why? Because although CoreWeave is landing massive contracts from big names like Meta and OpenAI, the plans are costing a ton to materialize. CoreWeave runs dedicated AI cloud infrastructure and data centers built around GPU clusters (primarily Nvidia) to power training for hyperscalers and AI intensive customers. Rather than broad...
Adobe (ADBE) Analysis: Adobe’s stock was already under pressure heading into this year, and the increasing uncertainty around software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies has accelerated the sell-off in recent weeks. What happened to Adobe?The problem isn’t about financial performance, it’s about competition and AI. Adobe has always been the standard for creative tools, but cheaper alternatives have surfaced that have slowed growth…especially from the consumer front. Where Adobe does still shine is their enterprise reach, which they’ve rolled out new AI driver growth drivers to. With AI tools like OpenAI’s Sora, Gemini’s Nano Banana, and dozens of other names…investors fear that the long term dominance of Adobe is no longer predictable. The reality: If we look at SaaS stocks as a whole,...
Robinhood (HOOD) Pre-earnings Analysis Shares of the popular stock and crypto trading platform Robinhood have been suffering since the company’s last earnings report. The stock is down more than 40% in the last three months, leaving investors anxious about today’s earnings report. First thing to note about Robinhood is that it is a relatively young company battling in a very competitive industry, however they have managed to gain popularity with retail traders. Their gamification of the stock market has created a revolution, sparking large adoption among the younger generation. This business model has worked well for them, the company’s revenue has grown from about $1B in 2020 to $3B in 2024. Today’s earnings would wrap up Q4 of 2025, which...
