Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock plummeted more than 17% on Wednesday, despite posting better-than-anticipated Q4 earnings and a strong Q1 outlook. While the company saw year-over-year growth in its data center and PC businesses, investors were likely looking for larger beats in both Q4 results and Q1 projections. AMD's stock price was up more than 112% in the 12 months leading up to earnings Tuesday evening as Wall Street leaned into hopes the company had plenty of room to grow and steal market share from rival Nvidia (NVDA), which was up 54% during the same period. AMD reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.53 on revenue of $10.3 billion. Wall Street was expecting EPS of $1.32 on revenue of $9.6 billion, according to Bloomberg analyst consensus estimates. The company saw revenue of $7.7 billion in the same quarter last year. AMD said Q1 revenue would come in between $9.5 billion and $10.1 billion. That's better than the Street's estimate of $9.4 billion, though some forecasts had called for over $10 billion, according to Bloomberg. Last week, Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) reported their own earnings, sparking wildly divergent reactions from traders: Many balked at Microsoft's increased spending and more modest growth but applauded Meta's performance despite a massive jump in its own AI spending. AMD's data center revenue for the quarter came in at $5.4 billion, topping expectations of $4.97 billion. On the PC front, AMD's client business revenue hit $3.1 billion versus an anticipated $2.9 billion. The chip designer's gaming business saw revenue of $843 million, compared to an expected $855 million. AMD, like Intel (INTC), is contending with the global memory shortage, which could force PC makers to raise prices and lead to demand destruction that would cut into AMD's PC and gaming segments. AMD's results come roughly a month after it showed off a variety of new products during CEO Lisa Su's keynote at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. That includes the company's upcomi...

angel_nt/iStock via Getty Images Many retirees like to build passive income portfolios that consist of high-yield covered call ETFs and high-yield leveraged closed-end funds because they can generate double-digit cash flow yields on their principal that can give them the feeling that they are generating a lot of cash flow in retirement and can therefore sustain a high standard of living in their golden years. However, I actually think this is arguably the most dangerous retirement income strategy that you can pursue because these vehicles often carry higher fees, underperform over full cycles, fail to increase passive income with inflation, and, in many cases, create a false sense of sequence of returns risk mitigation. Instead, I think a better approach is to invest in funds and individual stocks that fully support their cash flow with actual dividends from businesses and that also grow those dividends at a rate that meets or beats inflation over time. In this article, I will detail why. The Critical Role of Sequence of Returns in Retirement The key to successfully retiring on passive income is to make sure that your returns are not only sufficiently high but also sufficiently dependable. In that sense, the sequence of returns matters almost just as much as the absolute amount of returns that you achieve, as long as a minimum threshold of returns is reached. Thus, investments should provide durable passive income that is not only sufficient to meet current living expenses but also is positioned to grow at a rate that meets or beats inflation over the long term. However, the high yields that, in many cases, stand at 10%+ that these covered call and leveraged CEFs offer lure a lot of retirees in because it gives them the false sense of security that they do not need any growth but instead just need the income to roll in month after month, and that will allow them to achieve a high standard of living in retirement. That being said, the big fallacy with this approach i...

Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images Entertainment With gains in its retail and e-commerce channels and the “record-breaking” launch of rhode in Sephora locations in the UK, e.l.f. Beauty ( ELF ) enjoyed 38% sales growth in the fiscal third quarter, driving profitability up 67% and achieving better-than-expected results. Shares were launched as much as 16% in after-hours trading in the wake of results. “Our Q3 results, which included 130 basis points of market share gains for our namesake e.l.f. Cosmetics brand and a record-breaking launch of rhode in Sephora in the U.K., are a continuation of the consistent, category-leading growth we’ve delivered over the past 28 quarters,” said Tarang Amin, e.l.f. Beauty’s CEO. The solid FQ3 results led the company to raise its sales and profit outlook for FY26 to levels that exceeded expectations and reflected a 22% to 23% year-over-year increase in sales. The cosmetics company now expects sales to be within a range of $1.60B to $1.612B versus $1.57B estimates and adjusted net income of $180M to $183M, or $3.05 to $3.10 per share, up from prior guidance of $165M to $168M and $2.80 to $2.85 per share. This beats estimates of $2.87. For the fiscal third quarter , e.l.f. Beauty ( ELF ) earned a profit of $1.24 per share on $489.5M in sales, representing growth of 38% and 67% from a year ago and beating estimates of $0.72 and $461.8M, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA rose 79% to $123M, or 25% of net sales. However, due to the impact of higher tariffs, partially offset by pricing and mix, e.l.f.’s ( ELF ) gross profit margin was compressed by 30 basis points to 71%. More on e.l.f. Beauty e.l.f.

In this article SNAP Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap Inc. attends the annual Allen and Co. Sun Valley Media and Technology Conference at the Sun Valley Resort in Sun Valley, Idaho, U.S., on July 9, 2025. David A. Grogan | CNBC Snap shares were up over 5 percent in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the Snapchat-parent released fourth-quarter earnings that beat on sales. The company also announced a $500 million stock repurchase program. Here is how the company did compared with Wall Street's expectations: Earnings per share : 3 cents. That figure is not comparable to analysts' estimates. Revenue : $1.72 billion vs. $1.70 billion expected, according to LSEG Global daily active users : 474 million vs. 478 million expected, according to StreetAccount Global average revenue per user (ARPU) : $3.62 vs. $3.56 expected, according to StreetAccount The social media company said first-quarter revenue will be in the range of $1.50 billion to $1.53 billion, which is below analyst estimates of $1.55 billion. Sales in Snap's fourth quarter rose 10% year over year, while net income was $45.2 million, which was up nearly 400% from the $9.1 million it reported a year ago. Snap said that fourth-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, was $358 million, topping the $300 million that StreetAccount was projecting. The company also said that its adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter will be between $170 million and $190 million. That midpoint is higher than StreetAccount's estimates of $178 million. Snap's fourth-quarter global DAU dropped by 3 million quarter-over-quarter, which the company attributed to a reduction in marketing spending "in order to focus on more profitable growth," according to a letter to investors. Additionally, Snap said that due to Australia's social media minimum age act, the company "implemented platform-level age verification" in that country during the fourth quart...

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) is experiencing a significant decline on Wednesday, driven by concerns over global memory chip supply chains and sector earnings. Here’s what investors need to know. Micron stock is among today’s weakest performers. Why are MU shares down? Micron Falls After AMD's Stock Drop Tied to China Sales Jitters Micron shares dropped on Wednesday after Advanced Micro Devices Inc’s (NASDAQ:AMD) stock plunged 17%, losing over $30 billion in value. This happened despite AMD reporting a record $10.3 billion in fourth quarter revenue, as investors worried the growth was driven by a one-time sales boost to China and wasn't sustainable. CEO Lisa Su said that the China-related boost was a backlog clearance, and forward guidance showed a sequential decline, unsettling investors used to stronger momentum from competitors like Nvidia. The company’s conservative outlook, particularly around unpredictable China sales, added to market worries about short-term growth. AI and Market Dynamics The AI sector continues to be a major factor in the semiconductor space. Futurum Equities recently highlighted the critical factors defining the AI economy, such as control over computing and data. This shift in focus towards AI-driven technologies places additional pressure on memory chip manufacturers such as Micron to innovate and meet new demands. MU Technical Analysis Currently, Micron is trading 0.8% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 51.7% above its 100-day SMA, demonstrating longer-term strength. Shares have increased 320.82% over the past 12 months and are currently positioned closer to their 52-week highs than lows. The RSI is at 66.22, which is considered neutral territory, while MACD is above its signal line, indicating bullish momentum. The combination of a neutral RSI and bullish MACD suggests mixed momentum for the stock. Key Resistance: $455.50 MU Earnings In Focus With EPS Expected to Jump 400% Investors are looking ahead to the next earnin...

Good morning from a rather overcast Melbourne! I come bearing potentially bad news for home owners, as economists and markets ramp up bets on another interest-rate increase. Across the ditch, New Zealand house prices are falling . Meanwhile, Australia has now joined countries weighing a minimum price for the critical minerals used in everything from defense industries to tech firms. - Keira Wright, Australian Energy Reporter What’s happening now Australia is on track for the world’s first tightening cycle of 2026 as economists and markets ramp up bets on another interest-rate increase, marking a sharp reversal for a central bank struggling to contain resurgent inflation. Shares of critical minerals producers climbed on news that Australia is weighing a price floor that will include rare earths , as it seeks to counter China’s dominance and lure foreign investment into new mines and processing projects. New Zealand house prices fell for a second straight month in January, hitting a two-and-a-half year low. Meanwhile, European fund managers have been buying up the kiwi in a bet that the currency will benefit from an economic revival, the prospect of interest-rate hikes and broad weakness in the US dollar. AirTrunk Pte, the Blackstone Inc.-owned data center operator, has hired Tom Mackellar from Australian property developer Lendlease Corp. to spearhead its expansion in Asia Pacific, according to people familiar with the matter. Utilities Trust of Australia, which owns 50% of South East Water, criticized the UK utility’s performance over recent outages that left tens of thousands of people without supplies. What happened overnight Here’s what my colleague, market strategist Mike “Willo” Wilson says happened while we were sleeping… Tech stocks underperformed markedly as software firms and chip-makers got caught in another wave of selling ahead of earnings for one of the mega-caps, while the broader gauges were mixed. The dollar rose over major currency peers including t...

Spencer Platt/Getty Images News Aflac ( AFL ) on Wednesday delivered mixed Q4 2025 results as adjusted earnings trailed Wall Street expectations while revenue beat. Net earned premiums fell in Japan but rose in the U.S. Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.57, falling short of the $1.69 average analyst estimate, fell from $2.49 in the earlier quarter and ticked up from $1.56 a year ago. Total revenue of $4.87B, vs. $4.39B expected, climbed from $4.74B in Q3 and $5.40B in Q4 2024. AFL shares slid 2% in after-hours trading. Aflac Japan net earned premiums were ¥252.6B ($1.61B) in Q4, down 1.9% Y/Y, mainly due to limited pay products reaching paid-up status. Adjusted net investment income decreased 3.9% Y/Y to ¥97.4B, primarily driven by lower floating rate income on the dollar-denominated portfolio and lower variable net investment income, partially offset by higher dollar-denominated fixed income given higher volume. Aflac U.S. net earned premiums advanced 4.0% to $1.5B in Q4, reflecting improved sales. Adjusted net investment income dipped 2.8% to $207M, primarily due to a reduction in floating rate assets and corresponding rates. The average yen-dollar exchange rate was 154.20 in Q4, or 1.2% weaker than the average rate of 152.35 in Q4 2024. The weaker yen/dollar exchange rate did not impact adjusted EPS, Aflac said. Net investment gains of $537M, or $1.03 per share, compared with $1.0B, or $1.86 per share, in last year's Q4. These net investment gains were driven by net gains of $588M on certain derivatives and foreign currency activities.

Roblox surges as it guides for stronger-than-expected full-year bookings, touts AI vision Kid-centric gaming platform Roblox reported its fourth-quarter results after the market closed on Thursday. Its shares surged more than 20% in after-hours trading. For the full year ahead, Roblox guided for bookings of between $8.28 billion and $8.55 billion, which would represent annual growth of 22% to 26%. That’s well ahead of Wall Street’s estimates: analysts polled by FactSet expected $8.03 billion. Roblox forecasts Q1 bookings to land between $1.69 billion and $1.74 billion, compared to the $1.7 billion Wall Street consensus estimate. An average of 144 million daily users logged on to Roblox in its fourth quarter, beating estimates of 138 million and up 69% from last year. The platform paid out $1.5 billion to creators last year, up from $922 million in 2024. Roblox engagement surged in 2025, a year marred by several legal issues surrounding child safety on the platform. Late last year, analysts began to warn that some of its most popular titles were past their peak. Recently, shares of the company have dropped on investor fears of Google’s Project Genie AI tool, which generates playable worlds. As of Thursday’s close, Roblox had shed more than $10 billion in market cap since Project Genie launched. On Wednesday, Roblox appeared to answer Genie’s release with the open beta launch of its own “4D” generative-AI tool. Roblox’s tool lets users generate objects made up of multiple working parts (e.g., a drivable car with spinning wheels) as opposed to static 3D objects. In its letter to shareholders, Roblox said it was “innovating aggressively in AI to accelerate the creation of content, improve the safety of our platform, and fuel ongoing user engagement, discovery and monetization improvements.”
