Latest news
- This Is the Only Number Investors Need to Watch Before Buying an AI Stock
Cloud revenue rose 103% at Alphabet (GOOGL) and 39% at Amazon (AMZN), showing AI is driving real growth, but the article argues free cash flow should be checked first because infrastructure spending consumes cash now while returns arrive years later. In the third quarter, Amazon reported $20.7 billion in net income, yet its $42.4 billion operating cash flow fell short of $75.9 billion in net equipment and property spending, leaving roughly negative $33.5 billion in free cash flow. Among the four AI spenders, Microsoft (MSFT) retained about $0.32 of each operating cash-flow dollar after capital spending, while Alphabet's spending exceeded operating cash for a second straight quarter, though these companywide figures do not isolate AI profitability. Amazon's quarterly interest expense rose from $538 million to $1.7 billion, and Microsoft's quarterly free cash flow fell about 27% from $25.7 billion a year earlier but stayed positive.
- Robinhood Stock: Should Investors Buy the Post-Earnings Dip?
Robinhood Markets (HOOD) shares are down about 25% this year and more than 40% from their 52-week high of $149.41 after earnings fell short of expectations. Revenue rose 12% to $1.4 billion, but cryptocurrency-related revenue fell 55%, and earnings per share of 51 cents missed the 56 cents analysts expected. The author notes the company still has growth opportunities and is popular with young investors, but a P/E multiple just under 40 implies high growth expectations. The author says investors should wait for a lower price, since the premium is not justified given current risks.
- Ford's 20% Sales Forecasts Meets A 38% Stock Collapse
Ford CEO Jim Farley has set a goal of raising unit sales 20% by 2032 and said the Fathom EV pickup would sell 100,000 units in its first year of production. The article argues this outlook does not account for rising competition as legacy automakers slowly re-enter the US market, while US EV sales fell 30% in the first nine months of this year. Ford ranks third in US market share behind Toyota and GM, and its US sales are falling, though it has significant sales in China and the EU. The stock has fallen 38% over five years while the S&P rose 61%, and the article says Wall Street has reacted negatively to the company's sales and forecasts.
- Global Small Language Models (SLM) Market Size, Share, and Growth Forecast, 2026-2036 | Agentic and On-Device AI Fuel 23.5% CAGR to USD 25.59 Billion
The global small language models market was valued at USD 2.35 billion in 2025 and is estimated at USD 3.10 billion in 2026, with revenue projected to reach USD 25.59 billion by 2036, a 23.5% CAGR over 2026-2036. The report covers models of roughly 15 billion parameters or fewer, from those for smartphones, PCs, vehicles and edge devices to on-premises servers and cost-efficient cloud deployments. Growth drivers cited include agentic AI, which generates high volumes of requests that call for efficient models to cut inference costs, along with on-device deployment and sovereign AI programs. Constraints include tight memory supply driven by AI data center demand for high-bandwidth memory, weaker small-model performance on complex reasoning, and EU AI Act obligations that have applied since 2 August 2025.
- Lucid Is Trying to Spend Less. Here's Where It Needs to Spend More.
In its second-quarter earnings call, Lucid CEO Silvio Napoli acknowledged the company had underinvested in service, responded too slowly to quality issues and launched products before they were ready, straining trust with customers and investors. Management plans to raise technician and customer-support staff by 35% by year-end and add more than 20% in mobile service capacity, targeting wait-time reductions of more than 30%. Lucid has also identified $1.4 billion in cash-flow savings, including roughly $600 million to $800 million from inventory reductions. The article compares this with Rivian, which reported scheduling wait times down 35% during 2025 and added more than 1,000 service specialists. The author argues that the ownership experience, not just vehicle technology, will determine whether Lucid can keep customers and win repeat buyers.
- Apple Vs.Microsoft: Margin Expansion Is Apple's Massive Advantage
Apple and Microsoft both beat earnings estimates, but their margins are moving in opposite directions. Apple's June-quarter revenue rose 16.4% to $109.42 billion, iPhone sales climbed 22% to $54.3 billion, and gross margin reached 50.1%, though tariff refunds added about two percentage points and memory costs are rising. Microsoft's revenue grew 18.8% to $92.28 billion and Azure rose 48%, but Microsoft Cloud gross margin fell to 66% as capital expenditures reached $45.2 billion and free cash flow was $18.6 billion. Microsoft expects calendar-year capex of about $170 billion, while Apple largely relies on partners for AI capacity. The author leans toward Apple for its margin quality, while noting Apple trades near 45 times earnings versus 29 for Microsoft.
