Microsoft and Google jumped on earnings late after the market rally attempt showed resilience Wednesday amid Meta’s sell-off.
Meta’s plan to boost AI spending lifted shares of hardware companies, including Nvidia, Arista, Dell and Super Micro.
Big spending on the part of tech giants equals big-time revenue for these three companies.
Intel reported its Q1 earnings on Thursday, beating analysts’ estimates. But a disappointing outlook sent shares sliding.
Intel forecast second-quarter revenue and profit below market estimates on Thursday, as it faces weak demand for its traditional data center and personal computer chips amid efforts to build its contract manufacturing business. Enterprises have prioritized spending on advanced and speedy AI server chips, hurting demand for Intel’s central processing units (CPUs), which have been the mainstay chip powering data centers for decades. According to analysts, a surging demand for graphics processing units (GPUs) useful for AI applications has reduced the appetite for CPUs, which are Intel’s main product.

Stockjumpers trajectory analysis reveals a positive market reaction to the target’s release news. We see a pop in price post release based on a beat and higher than expected guidance. This stock has soared over the years but the last few quarters the price has dropped and was certainly overbought. We think this quarter will look different – though perhaps not a huge move.
We are LONG on this event
