Getty Images Alphabet Inc. aka Google ( GOOG ) reported Q4 '25 results on Wednesday after the bell, and the stock was down over 6% at the market open. The stock briefly touched the $312 level before rebounding to $318, down 4.4% for the day. Believe it or not, the stock was briefly up following the double beat in after-hours on Wednesday, but as today’s sell-off reached the AI trade and the market at large, Google wasn’t immune, nor were the Magnificent 7, with Nvidia ( NVDA ) being the only one in the green on Thursday. Webull (Webull) I think this brief plunge and the rather quick recovery that followed signify one thing: buyers have stepped in, and aggressively so. Though the stock is still in deep red territory, I think Google is falling in sympathy with the market, but the question is: Is the dip a buying signal? I don’t think that’s the case yet, and I expect the stock to consolidate or pull back in the near term, which is why I’m downgrading Google to a Hold. This was a strong quarter operationally, with Search re-accelerating and Cloud delivering a real margin inflection. The problem is the market will price the stock on one question: Can Alphabet convert this AI momentum into durable earnings power while CapEx nearly doubles? Earnings: Though the company beat consensus on both earnings and revenue, what we’re seeing play out in the market lately is that investors are less focused on the beat and more focused on capex guidance. Management guided 2026 capital expenditures to a range of $175 billion to $185 billion, with the high end more than doubling last year’s spend. And we know by now that companies can’t get away with spending without showing a return on these investments, or a roadmap that gets them there, and according to CFO Anat Ashkenazi, “The investment we have been making in AI is already translating into strong performance across the business.” For Q4 '25, capex came in at $27.9 billion, with 60% in servers and 40% in data centers and networking ...

Amazon (AMZN) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.95 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.98 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.86 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.52%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this online retailer would post earnings of $1.58 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.95, delivering a surprise of +23.42%.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $187.79 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Amazon shares have added about 0.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 0.5%. What's Next for Amazon? While Amazon has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook.

Does the stock really deserve the beating it is taking following its earnings report? To most consumers, Amazon (AMZN 4.36%) may be best known for its e-commerce business. But to investors, attention usually gravitates to the company's cloud computing business -- especially recently. Releasing its fourth-quarter results after market close on Thursday, Amazon's cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), saw yet another quarter of accelerating growth. In fact, the 24% year-over-year growth the segment posted during the period was the fastest it has delivered for shareholders in 13 quarters. Despite Amazon's meaningful acceleration in its high-margin cloud computing business in Q4, shares sold off during after-hours trading on Thursday, falling about 10% as of this writing. With the stock selling off even though Amazon's important cloud business is accelerating, is this a buying opportunity for investors? Amazon's Q4 earnings: What investors should know After posting 13% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 and guiding for 10% to 13% growth during the e-commerce and cloud-computing giant's important holiday quarter, Amazon revealed on Thursday that net sales for the period exceeded its guidance range, rising 14% year over year to $213.4 billion. Amazon's online stores and third-party services revenue, which together do a good job of capturing the company's sprawling e-commerce business, rose 10% and 11%, respectively, during the period. Online stores' revenue for the period was about $83.0 billion, while third-party seller services revenue was approximately $52.8 billion. The company's physical store revenue, which accounted for just $5.9 billion of its total quarterly revenue, rose 5% year over year. But where the quarter really shone was in its higher-margin segments. Amazon's subscription services revenue rose 14% year over year to $13.1 billion, advertising services revenue increased 23% to $21.3 billion, and AWS revenue jumped 24% to $35.6 billion. Given ...

Tesla Pivots to 'Physical AI' Powerhouse with Q4 Earnings Beat and $2 Billion xAI Strategic Stake The Chronicle-Journal

The Six Nations is under way and already a couple of things are ­crystal clear. It is going to take a seriously good team to beat France in Paris in this year’s championship and watching them attack is already a genuine treat. Ireland were not so much beaten as outplayed by ­opponents who will be even more dangerous with a dry ball at their disposal. Never mind the argument about brief in-game adverts during ITV’s coverage. Irish fans would ­probably have preferred a total 80-minute blackout or, failing that, an entire evening of cookery programming. Instead those back at home had to watch the visitors being ­repeatedly sliced and diced by ­apparently ravenous hosts. Talk about eating your greens. Had it been a drier evening it really could have been messy. As it was the spectacularly good Louis Bielle-­Biarrey still helped himself to two sparkling tries and France’s close-quarters passing, kicking game and creative elan were sometimes ­sublime. Ireland came in to this game with a raft of injuries but, despite a second-half rally, they can now add bruised pride to the list. It will also be food for thought for the rest of the field. France were without one or two key forward themselves but you would never have guessed it from their first-half performance in ­particular. Les Bleus are not yet the finished article and eased off slightly with the match already won but their promise is unmistakable. Ireland, for their part, were made to look poor for the opening 40 minutes and will be grateful to their bench for ­bringing a little more second-half energy in this experimental slot for a Six Nations opening fixture. And maybe there could be a longer-term future for big-time Thursday night rugby. The pre-game light show inside the Stade de France made it feel like a ­Friday night in everything other than name and the Marseillaise was belted out with just as much gusto. When they really want to put on a show in Paris there are few places quite as dazzling. It was also great...

March WTI crude oil (CLH26) on Thursday closed down -1.85 (-2.84%), and March RBOB gasoline (RBH26) closed down -0.0386 (-1.96%).

Don’t Miss a Day: Crude prices came under pressure on Thursday after tensions eased between the US and Iran, when Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said that nuclear talks with the US would be held on Friday in Muscat, Oman. Crude prices spiked higher on Wednesday after Axios reported that the US told Iran it would not agree to Iran's demands to change the location and format of talks scheduled for Friday. The development has heightened expectations that the US could proceed with military strikes against Iran, which could disrupt key shipping lanes as well as Iran's 3.3 million bpd of crude production. Thursday's US labor news was weaker than expected, a bearish factor for economic growth, energy demand, and crude prices. Challenger Jan job cuts rose +117.8% y/y to 108,435, the largest amount of job cuts for a January since 2009. Also, weekly initial unemployment claims rose by +22,000 to an 8-week high of 231,000.

This is a company that's been struggling mightily, and while some of its brands are still solid, there are others that are simply known for being unhealthy and unprocessed foods. Lunchables, which once represented a promising growth opportunity, were pulled from school lunch programs a few years ago due to weak demand, as there were concerns about how healthy the products were.
