The Big Tech earnings were quite disappointing, except for one company

If you have been wondering why stocks like Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, etc have been bleeding money out of your pocket, well it is because of their not-so-good earnings. These companies together lost a market cap of $350 Billion combined.

Google and Microsoft led the downfall when Google reported $57 Billion in revenue which was slightly lower than expected and their year-over-year growth rate fell to 6% which has been the slowest since June 2020. YouTube's revenue fell for the first time. Google's stock fell by more than 9% on the day it reported their earnings
Microsoft then contributed to the downfall when on the same day, the company had reported good numbers but then it was the company's next-quarter guidance that led to the sell-off. Microsoft is reportedly facing margin issues with their services which further decrease investor confidence. The stock fell by 7% on the same day when Google reported its earnings which led to a market downfall that day. 

Amazon and Meta were punished for their earnings as well, as both of the tech giants saw a slower rate of increase in their numbers and the current economic slowdowns were punishing the former high flyers. Meta's stock plunged to a 6-year low of $98. This has been the worst year for Mark Zuckerberg and his company Meta, the stock has been beaten down by more than 70% this year. 
Things were also bleak at Amazon after the company's stock fell by more than 13% after a gloomy fourth-quarter forecast along with an enormous slowdown in its cloud computing business. 



Tesla saw its share falling more than 6% after it missed out on revenue slightly and deliveries, Elon Musk made some pretty optimistic calls about the carmaker on the earnings call but the stock still went spiraling down.

Once again, Apple proved to be the "Golden Company" out of the big tech group after it reported record revenue of $90 Billion which pushed the stock more than 8% and boosted the market rally on Friday. Apple was the only company to post good earnings which led the stock to rise so much. It was mentioned as the "Saviour" on Friday as it rescued the market to close in red again. 

Tech stocks have taken a good beating this year, but instead of seeing this as a threat, this can be taken as a good opportunity to invest in good companies, in some cases, they are trading for year-low prices for the same good businesses they are.

The Twitter-Musk Saga

Image
Elon Musk reportedly stood back on his original offer to buy Twitter for around $54.20 per share. Valuing the deal at around $45 Billion. Musk made this offer originally on April 14 and just after 11 days, Twitter accepted the deal, but then on July 8th, Musk backed out of the deal stating Twitter failed to provide him with enough data on the bots and total spam accounts on Twitter.  Twitter sued Musk and then took him a trial to court and just yesterday, Musk proposed the same offer once again. A lot of experts believe this sudden change of mind by Elon happened because he had no other option and he would have lost the case if he kept on fighting against Twitter. Shares of Twitter closed up at $52.00 (22.24% increase) Shares of Tesla closed up at $249.44 (2.90% increase) Everyone awaits more news on this offer, what Elon Musk decides to do further, and when there will be any further development on this situation.

Tesla Semi Truck, does that ring a bell?

Image
We all have heard of Tesla's affordable and luxury cars, long-awaited cyber truck, and their Optimus robot which was revealed a week back. But do you remember the Semi Truck which they launched back in 2017? well if you don't then this is what it looks like. Pretty huge right? This was unveiled back in 2017 when the man himself Elon Musk revealed the concept model to the world. The production is underway and it is starting to speed up by the end of this October.  This has not been made available to the general public, however, Tesla is still taking up corporate orders.  Elon Musk tweeted that Pepsico (the soft drinks company) will take the deliveries of their semi trucks in December.  Tesla claims that the Semi Trucks will provide a range of more than 500 miles / 804 km on a single charge and in addition to that, drivers or companies can save more than $200,000 over a period of 5 years compared to the fuel consumption they would have done if they were still using regular truck

Tesla has a bright future and could be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined, says Elon Musk

Image
 In the last Q3 earnings call, Elon Musk mentioned that for the first time ever, he sees a potential for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined. For context, those are the world's two biggest companies worth a total of $4.35 Trillion. The market and many investors see Musk's comment as ludicrous. His exact words were, "Tesla can far exceed Apple's current market cap" he added, "I can see a potential path for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined. Doesn't mean it will happen overnight or it will be easy but for the first time I can see a way for Tesla to be roughly twice the value of Saudi Aramco" As mentioned above, a lot of investors think that this assumption of Musk is quite crazy but only a few know that back in 2015,  he made a similar prediction  when he said Tesla would be worth $700 Billion by 2025. Tesla ended up being worth $700 Billion by December 2020. 5 years earlier than predicted. Tesla curren
