El histórico beneficio neto de Alphabet (Google) de hoy tiene trampa. Aunque el beneficio por acción (EPS) se disparó, casi 99.000 millones de dólares de ese total son "ganancias en papel". No es dinero real que haya entrado al banco, sino un ajuste contable.
Bessent ha pasado en cuestiones de días de anunciar recompras de bonos en tandas de $4B a plantear el uso de la cuenta del Tesoro, con hasta $1T disponible, para intentar controlar la curva de tipos.
La administración Trump hará todo lo posible para bajar las rentabilidades de los bonos. Esto es bueno para las bolsas.
Históricamente aprovechar las polémicas judiciales de $META ha sido muy rentable y se ha recuperado muy rápido…
Será diferente esta vez ?
Obviamente no.
Ésta es la razón por la que hemos subido hoy. Bessent controlará la curva de tipos.
Como? Comprando bonos de larga duración emitiendo letras a corto plazo.
Suben bolsas, bonos, oro, bitcoin.
Baja el dólar.
The irony of Nike’s share repurchase program is brutal.
Under its current authorization, Nike has spent approximately $12.1 billion repurchasing 124.4 million shares at an average price of $97.57.
Nike stock now trades around $40.
At today’s price, those repurchased shares would be worth only about $5 billion, roughly $7 billion less than Nike paid for them.
Even worse, that same $12.1 billion could repurchase approximately 302 million shares at $40, more than twice as many as Nike actually retired.
But here is the ironic part:
Nike aggressively repurchased stock when shares traded above $90. Then, as the stock collapsed below $50, the company almost completely stopped buying.
During fiscal 2026, Nike spent only $122 million on repurchases before pausing the program entirely.
This is a perfect example of why buybacks are not automatically good for shareholders.
Repurchases only create value when management buys stock below its intrinsic value without weakening the balance sheet or starving the business of necessary investment.
Nike bought aggressively when its business and valuation looked strongest, and stopped when its stock appeared cheapest.
Capital allocation matters.
Long-term Treasury prices are currently trading at 22-year lows...
Yes, 22-year lows.
Persistent inflation, ballooning government debt, and uncertainty around the Fed have investors demanding much higher yields to hold long-term debt.
