KEY Q2 EARNINGS
What an explosive quarter from the tech leaders Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Google. I can say, one of the best quarters from these tech titans.
APPLE (APPL)
Earnings: $1.40 vs. $0.99 estimated by analysts
Revenue: $89.58 billion vs. $77.36 billion estimated, up 53.7% year-over-year
iPhone revenue: $47.94 billion vs. $41.43 billion estimated, up 65.5% year-over-year
Services revenue: $16.90 billion vs. $15.57 billion estimated, up 26.7% year over year
Apple did not issue official guidance for the next quarter. But it authorized $90 billion share buybacks. The company also increased its dividend by 7% to $0.22 per share. But the company did not provide guidance for next quarter.
My View: Apple has one the best quarter ever. It was explosive!! What I like to the growth in their iPhone and service revenue. << Buy on Dip >>
AMAZON (AMZN)
Earnings: $15.79 per share vs. $9.54 per share expected
Revenue: $108.52 billion vs. $104.47 billion expected
Guidance: The company expects to post revenue between $110 billion and $116 billion, surpassing Wall Street expectation of $108.6 billion
My View: Need I say more!! Amazon bombarded both top and bottom line. This was the last earnings for Jeff Bezos. We may miss him as a CEO where he took Amazon from zero to HERO. In a letter Bezos said, “Amazon, a company famous for focusing relentlessly on the consumer, will now do the same for its employees”. << Buy on Dip >>. This is a stock for generations.
Facebook (FB)
Earnings: $3.30 per share vs. $2.37 per share forecast
Revenue: $26.17 billion vs. $23.67 billion expected
Daily active users (DAUs): 1.88 billion vs. 1.89 billion expected
Monthly active users (MAUs): 2.85 billion vs. 2.86 billion expected
My View: Another blaster from Facebook. The company has little less active users but keeps generating higher revenue and profits. << Buy on Dip >>.
Enphase Energy (ENPH)
Earnings: $.56 per share vs. $0.44 per share forecast
Revenue: $301.8 million, 47% higher than the year-ago period, and gross profit margin was a solid 40.7%.
Outlook: But the outlook for next quarter guidance was around $10 million less than what Analyst expected! This is because “they can't meet demand due to global chip supply shortages and that could last another couple of quarters.
My View: for the long-term investors I believe this a very good opportunity to buy the dip! This company is and will be a winner visualizing the great opportunity lies on climate change.
MasterCard (MA)
Earnings: $1.8 billion, or $1.83 a share, up from $1.7 billion, or $1.68 a share last year. Analysts were expecting of the $1.58 a share.
Revenue: $4.2 billion vs. $4.0 billion
The company expects a second-quarter revenue growth rate, in the high-20% range.
My View: MasterCard is a company to hold for the next generation.
Microsoft (MSFT)
Earnings: $1.95 per share, adjusted, vs. $1.78 per share as expected
Revenue: $41.71 billion, vs. $41.03 billion as expected
Another great quarter earnings from Microsoft.
GOOGLE (GOOG)
Earnings: $26.29 per share vs. $15.82 per share expected.
Revenue: $55.31 billion vs. $51.70 billion expected.
Google seems to be coming up. It had a great quarter. I may buy some if there is any pullback.
