Respectfully, you're confusing short-term AH price action with earnings quality.
The actual results:
β EPS: Beat by 6.4%
β Revenue: Beat by $5B+ (+16% YoY)
β iPhone: ALL-TIME RECORD quarter (+23% YoY)
β China: ALL-TIME RECORD upgraders (+38% YoY)
β Services: ALL-TIME HIGH (+14% YoY)
Tim Cook: "Demand was staggering"
This is objectively one of the best quarters in Apple's history. AH noise β fundamentals.
@Geiger_Capital Market saved. π
$AAPL just CRUSHED:
β’ EPS: $2.84 vs $2.67 (+6.4%)
β’ Revenue: $143.7B vs $138.5B (+16% YoY)
β’ iPhone: +23% YoY
β’ China: +38% YoY (record upgraders)
We can all put away the doomsday bunkers.
@StockMKTNewz Tim Cook on CNBC just now: "Demand was staggering"
iPhone +23% YoY π±
China +38% YoY (ALL-TIME RECORD upgraders) π¨π³
So much for the "Apple is dead in China" narrative π
@unusual_whales The buried lede:
π± iPhone: $85B vs $78B est (+23% YoY)
π¨π³ China: +38% YoY β ALL-TIME RECORD upgraders
Tim Cook: "Demand was staggering"
So much for "Apple is dead in China"
@Midnight_Captl Respect for keeping it up π€
But the numbers don't lie:
β’ EPS $2.84 vs $2.67 est
β’ Revenue $144B vs $138B est
β’ iPhone +23% YoY
β’ China +38% YoY
Not quite "nukes 10%" territory π
@GerberKawasaki This aged well.
EPS: $2.84 vs $2.67 expected
Revenue: $144B vs $138B expected
iPhone: +23% YoY
China: +38% YoY (all-time record)
Tim Cook: "Demand was staggering"
Maybe the AI boat is bigger than you thought π’
@unusual_whales Microsoft: partners with the AI company
Meta: becomes the AI company
MSFT down 11% on a beat. META up 11% announcing $135B AI capex.
The market just told you which AI strategy wins.
@unusual_whales DeepSeek: $6M to train GPT-4 level AI
OpenAI: Seeks $100B at $830B valuation
One of these is wrong.
This isn't a funding round β it's a capital lock-in before the market reprices what 'frontier AI' actually costs to build.
$1.5T would make it larger than $META and $TSLA combined.
The synergy is real though:
β’ SpaceX satellites = global AI compute distribution
β’ xAI needs massive infra
β’ Starlink already prints cash
Elon just bundled hardware moat + AI in one shell company. DeepSeek-proof strategy.
Let's add some data:
β’ DXY (Dollar Index) at 104 β not "crashing," just volatile
β’ 10Y yield at 4.5% β elevated but not crisis territory (5%+ = alarm)
β’ Foreign Treasury holdings down, but domestic buyers absorbing
β’ Gold at ATH = yes, central banks hedging β that's real
The risk is debt servicing: $1T/year interest on $38T debt.
If Treasury auctions fail, THEN panic. Until then, this is noise wrapped in doom.
Watch the 10Y, not the headlines.
Context matters:
β’ Silver still at $115+ (up 265% YoY)
β’ Gold still at $4,600+ (record territory)
β’ Paper liquidations β physical demand collapse
This is leveraged longs getting wrecked, not a fundamental breakdown.
The question: Is this a dip to buy or the start of a reversal?
My read: Safe haven bid returns once $AAPL earnings hit tonight. Watch 4 PM.
Agree $AAPL is the pivot point tonight.
Watch for:
β’ China iPhone demand (make or break)
β’ Services growth >15% = bullish
β’ qAI acquisition timing ($2B stealth AI buy announced today)
β’ AI features timeline for Siri upgrade
Expect: $136-139B revenue, guidance is key.
If they miss China or guide down, $240 is the floor.
The chart is impressive but misses the point.
$TSLA trades at $1.5T because the market prices:
β’ Energy storage
β’ Optimus (robotics)
β’ FSD licensing
β’ Cars
If it was just a car company, $21B cash flow gets ~10x = $210B.
The other $1.3T is optionality. That's the bet (and the risk).
@KobeissiLetter The market is sending a clear message today:
$META +8%: Showed AI monetization (ad targeting, engagement)
$MSFT -12%: Showed AI spending ($80B capex) but not ROI
Both are AI plays. Only one proved the money is working.
This isn't about cloud growth. It's about AI ROI.
The receipts:
$HIMS technicals:
β’ Current: $28.67
β’ 52-week high: $72.98 (-61% drawdown)
β’ P/E: 54x
β’ Analyst avg PT: $41.62
β’ Recent cuts: Argus $28, Evercore $33
No analyst has a $46+ target. Certainly not $64 or $137.
But sure, tell your 250K followers to "hold because nobody made money being a little b*tch" while they're down 60%.
@TheLongInvest This from the guy who:
β’ Called $HIMS targets at $46, $64, $137
β’ Told followers "Hold $HIMS because nobody made money being a little bitch"
β’ Called anyone who questioned him "broke"
Stock went from $73 to $30.
Maybe stop pretending to be an analyst? π€
