Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images Oddity Tech ( ODD ) is both a tech and a beauty company at the same time. It operates globally in the wellness and beauty space by catering to the needs of their customers through an online, AI-driven platform. After the recent earnings release, the firm's stock has been hit hard, further extending the steep downward trend, which started in mid-2025. The main driver of the sell-off was the much lower than expected Q1 guidance, due to issues related to advertisement , driving up the customer acquisition costs significantly. Revenue in the first quarter is now expected to decrease by as much as 30% year-over-year. Data by YCharts ODD's stock went from $77 per share to $12 in a relatively short amount of time, so the aim of my writing today is to discuss whether this huge price decline could present an appealing investment opportunity or the fundamentals really deteriorated so much that the price decline is warranted. For the discussions, I will be using the firm's latest financial results, macroeconomic indicators, and a set of price multiples to assess the valuation. Financials In the most recent quarter, ODD achieved strong revenue growth of 24%, exceeding their prior guidance figures. Revenue came in at $153 million, compared to the previously guided range of $149 - $152 million. The strong growth was driven by the high demand for the firm’s IL MAKIAGE and SpoiledChild brands, as well as by the launch of their new, third brand, METHODIQ. The fact that repeat sales contributed significantly to the revenue growth is also a good indication that people are satisfied with the products and services and are ready to spend regularly. When it comes to profitability, the picture does not look so good, however. Although gross profit and net income grew compared to the prior year and came in above guidance, the gross profit margin contracted by 220 bps YoY, while the adjusted EBITDA margin shrank by as much as 410 basis points. The ...

TLDRs; Qualcomm (QCOM) stock edges lower as AI-driven robotics plans attract investor attention. CEO Cristiano Amon sets two-year target for scaling robotics with physical AI.

Qualcomm (QCOM) shares experienced a modest decline Wednesday as the company’s latest push into AI-powered robotics took center stage at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The chipmaker outlined ambitious plans to expand beyond smartphones into robotics, signaling a strategic shift that has drawn both investor curiosity and caution. QUALCOMM Incorporated, QCOM CEO Cristiano Amon told CNBC that Qualcomm sees robotics becoming a major opportunity within the next two years. He emphasized that advances in “physical AI” are enabling robots to handle more complex tasks and function more independently, bringing the technology closer to large-scale deployment. Dragonwing Chip Powers Robotics Push Central to Qualcomm’s robotics strategy is the Dragonwing processor, unveiled in January. Designed to operate across a wide variety of robot platforms, the chip is being compared to Snapdragon in terms of versatility and potential impact. “The Dragonwing chip allows us to bring computing power to multiple robot types,” Amon said. “We expect it to play a critical role as robotics scale in the coming years.” By providing a flexible and high-performance platform, Qualcomm aims to become the preferred supplier for the computing brains of intelligent machines. Robotics Market Sparks Industry Competition The robotics sector is drawing significant attention from tech giants competing to supply the underlying computing platforms. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has highlighted robotics as a ...
For decades, North Korea ’s most potent insurance policy has been the threat it poses to Seoul, guaranteeing that any US move against Kim Jong-un ’s regime would first exact an unbearable toll on the South.

For decades, North Korea ’s most potent insurance policy has been the threat it poses to Seoul, guaranteeing that any US move against Kim Jong-un ’s regime would first exact an unbearable toll on the South. Now, a new Pentagon blueprint may have just offered that survival strategy Washington’s seal of approval. The new National Defence Strategy, presented to a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, calls on Seoul to take “primary” responsibility for deterring North Korea, with “critical but more limited” US support. Advertisement Such a formulation reflects US President Donald Trump ’s long-held stance that allies should shoulder more of their own defence burden. But for Pyongyang, analysts say it reads more like a strategic windfall. The North will take the South hostage to ward off the risk of the United States mounting attacks Oh Gyeong-seob, political analyst “The North will take the South hostage to ward off the risk of the United States mounting attacks to remove its leadership, as it did in Iran and Venezuela,” said political analyst Oh Gyeong-seob, a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification. Advertisement If Seoul, not Washington, is the primary line of defence, then Seoul is also the primary target of any retaliation. That asymmetry has always been central to Pyongyang’s deterrence logic. Analysts say this new US strategy does nothing to weaken it.
