AMD's share price dropped 13% after its latest financial report, and even though it recorded record revenue, CEO Lisa Su is now out there calming nerves. TL;DR: AMD reported a record $10.3 billion revenue and 54% gross margin in Q4 2025, driven by strong AI demand for EPYC processors and Instinct GPUs. Despite beating estimates, AMD's cautious Q1 2026 forecast led to a 13% stock drop. CEO Lisa Su is now speaking to the media and investors, emphasizing the acceleration of AI growth and its upcoming Helios AI systems. AMD recently reported its Q4 2025 earnings, with record revenue of $10.3 billion and a gross margin of 54%. This was indicative of AMD's banner year for investors, driven by the AI boom and demand for AMD's EPYC processors and Instinct graphics cards. 2 VIEW GALLERY - 2 IMAGES As part of its fourth-quarter and 2025 financial results, the company also forecast revenue of $9.8 billion for the first quarter of 2026, plus or minus $300 million. Although this is higher than the $9.38 billion estimate from Wall Street analysts, AMD's share price dropped 13% after its latest financial report. Popular Popular Now: Logitech says if its new mouse doesn't 'change the way you play' you'll get a full refund The reason for the drop, according to reports, is that AMD's forecast felt too conservative for a company in the middle of the AI gold rush. Even though this follows last year's announcement of key AI partnerships with OpenAI and Oracle, and AMD's planned rollout of its server-based Helios AI systems later this year, there's also a growing sense of caution about the sustainability of AI infrastructure spending. And with AMD's stock price falling, CEO Lisa Su made an appearance on CNBC's Squawk on the Street, presumably in an attempt to calm the uncertainty by saying, "What I would tell you from someone on the inside is AI is accelerating at a pace that I would not have imagined." And by confirming that demand continues to outpace supply and that so far this year, ...

For part of 2025, shares of AI data cloud specialist Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) gained significant momentum as the stock was viewed as an artificial intelligence beneficiary. After all, the company's already rapid top-line growth rate accelerated significantly in its fiscal second quarter of fiscal 2026 (the period ended July 31), as management told investors in the quarter's earnings release that Snowflake has "enormous opportunity ahead" as it capitalizes on "its full potential through data and AI." But with the company's fiscal Q2 year-over-year product revenue growth rate of 32% decelerating to 29% growth in fiscal Q3, and with management guiding for a further slowdown in fiscal Q4, investors are likely doubting whether the company can see the same type of accelerating momentum that Wall Street darling AI data platform company Palantir has seen in recent quarters. Additionally, Snowflake's massive quarterly losses probably aren't helping the narrative either. However, with shares down 25% already in 2026 and 58% below their all-time high, is now a good time to buy the stock? After all, this is a fast-growing business, and AI is already providing a tailwind. Continue reading

Donny DBM/iStock via Getty Images Expansion create opportunity. - Anonymous Dear Client, The Grey Owl All-Season Strategy's objectives are to minimize drawdowns, outperform short-term bonds by several hundred basis points each year (i.e., beat "cash"), and participate meaningfully in risk-on rallies. For the full year 2025, GOAS returned +11.4% and met each of these objectives. We are particularly pleased with the strategy's 2025 performance given how the year began. While the popular "Magnificent 7 ( MAGS )" group of stocks declined roughly -30% from its December 17, 2024 peak to the April 8, 2025 low 1 , the Grey Owl All-Season (GOAS) portfolio was down less than -3% at its worst point in early April. The rebound that followed was rapid, and the year ultimately proved strong for most risk assets. GOAS managed risk during the drawdown and then repositioned to participate as conditions turned risk-on. A few specifics below on the present environment and our current positioning, but first a more detailed review of the performance of the "primary" asset classes. 2 For the full year 2025, gold gained +63.7%, global equities rose +22.4%, U.S. equities followed closely at +17.7%, commodities increased 5.9%, and long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds returned +4.3%. During the fourth quarter of 2025, precious metals continued to shine, with gold up another +11.5%. U.S. equities gained +2.7%, while global equities performed slightly better at +3.3%. Commodities were essentially flat, up +0.4%, and long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds declined -1.0%. Over this period, GOAS delivered a respectable +2.4% return. As 2026 gets underway, a more dramatic shift may be developing. In 2025, technology and growth outperformed the broader market (i.e., the Nasdaq beat the S&P 500, finishing up +20.8%), while small-capitalization stocks lagged, ending the year up +12.7%. 3 That dynamic has changed meaningfully during the first three weeks of 2026. As of the close on January 23, 2026, the “Magnificen...

Silver Crashes 20% As China Opens, Gold & Bitcoin Also Plunging On the heels of today's momentum collapse in the US , Silver prices have puked almost 20% in a matter of hours after Asian markets opened... ...erasing the rebound gains of the last three days... The overall decline from when Trump's announcement of Warsh's nomination as the next Fed Chair is now back up to 40%. “Sentiment seems to have turned soggy across most asset classes, including regional equities and metals,” said Christopher Wong, a strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp Ltd. “This underscores fragile sentiment” and has created “a feedback loop amid thin market liquidity,” he said. Spot Gold prices are also down (around 4-5%) , with $5000 seemingly acting as serious resistance... There's no obvious specific catalysts for the decline in precious metals for now but Goldman Sachs does note that data suggested that Chinese speculators may have played a minor role in the recent volatility (until now). The timing suggests that Western flows rather than Chinese speculative activity drove late January's volatility. Most of the buildup and unwind in gold prices occurred while SHFE--the venue for Chinese speculative futures trading--was closed. Additionally, China's strong tradition of physical precious metals ownership and easy access to physical keep it as the dominant form of demand, with the speculative paper market in China -- including SHFE futures market and ETF market -- being relatively small. But, given the magnitude and timing of tonight's collapse, it would appear the speculative Chinese investor has pulled the rug (although gold-backed ETFs are gaining traction in China, their market size remains tiny compared to Western counterparts). Silver's relative underperformance has smashed the Gold/Silver ratio back above 65x (6 week highs)... Bitcoin is also accelerating its losses during the US day session, back below $72,000...
