Datadog’s 19% Reality Check

When a great quarter becomes a bad result I have always thought Datadog was one of those software companies where the business can do almost everything right and still annoy investors. That peculiar talent was on full display after its August 6 results. Revenue jumped 36% year on year to $1.12 billion, beating expectations, while adjusted, non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.65 versus $0.58 expected. Management also raised full-year guidance for the third consecutive quarter. When your biggest customer can build the competition itself The reward? The shares fell 19% over the two sessions after earnings. That is not the market declaring $Datadog(DDOG)$ a busted business. It is the market discovering, rather painfully, that when you pay a premium price, even

🐶📈 Why I Sell a Long-Dated PLTR Put 15 Months Away — The Options Puppy Way SG61 Trading Arena for SGX Listed Securities!

When people see that I sold a PLTR put expiring 15 months away, they often ask me, “🐶 Why not sell a weekly put and collect premium faster?” My answer is simple: I prefer getting paid today while giving my investment thesis more time to work. I am not trying to predict tomorrow’s price movement; I am trying to build income patiently, just like an Options Puppy waiting for treats to come over time. 🦴💰 🐶💡 My First Rule: I Must Be Willing to Own PLTR Before I sell any put, I ask myself one important question: Would I be happy to own 100 shares if assigned? 🤔📊 If my answer is “no,” I do not sell the put. Selling a put means I may have to buy the shares later, so I treat it as a real investment decision, not a lottery ticket. 🎯🐾 For PLTR, I believe the company has long-term growth potential in

I’m choosing A:Yes, earnings growth will keep driving the S&P 500 higher. What encourages me most about J.P. Morgan’s 8,000 target isn’t the number itself, but the stronger earnings behind it. With more than 85% of companies beating expectations and EPS forecasts rising, the rally is increasingly supported by fundamentals rather than valuation expansion. I also think the AI story is entering a more important phase. It’s no longer just about AI spending, but whether that spending translates into cloud growth, stronger backlogs & real revenue. I’ll continue watching GOOGL, AMZN and MSFT, alongside AI infrastructure names like AMAT and CRWV. That said, I won’t chase the index simply because Wall Street raised its target. CPI & Treasury yields remain key risks. I’ll stay invested,

For me, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ remains the most attractive long-term play. The post-earnings pullback looks more like an expectation reset than a fundamental problem, with Data Center revenue up 107% and Helios offering another potential catalyst. After such a strong run, I’d rather DCA on weakness than chase. $Lumentum(LITE)$ is the more aggressive bet. The 1.6T optical opportunity is exciting as AI clusters scale, but after a 127% YTD rally, expectations are high. I’d want strong FY2027 guidance before adding. $CoreWeave

Bessent Playbook: Fixing the Yen & Taming Yields during QT 📉🇯🇵🇺🇸

This is ​a completely new macro setup right now:  We are seeing QT happen while US Treasury yields drop, the Japanese Yen stabilizes, and bond yields/stock markets rally. But instead of a broad-based pump, this rally is rewarding actual cash-flowing giants printing record profits. Once the market starts aggressively pricing in a September pivot, rate-sensitive plays are gonna fly. Gotta get ahead of the crowd before the real move happens. 📈 This is exactly why I'm so bullish on rate-sensitive stocks right now. Loading up and buying aggressively and steadily. 📈 Of cos the risk is there....  $Upstart Holdings, Inc.(UPST)$   $Affirm Holdings, Inc.(AFRM)$

I’m most interested in $COHERENT(COHR)$ . AI data-center demand continues to drive strong growth in optical connectivity, and I like COHR’s exposure to the expanding bandwidth requirements of AI infrastructure. For earnings, I’ll be watching whether EPS can beat expectations and, more importantly, whether management raises its outlook. Strong demand for AI-related optical products would give me more confidence that the growth story can continue. I’m bullish on COHR over the longer term, although after its strong run, I’d rather add on meaningful pullbacks than chase a big move after earnings. For me, the key is whether fundamentals can continue to catch up with

$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ would be my first choice among the Orchard Road S-REITs. I like its scale, diversified portfolio and blue-chip quality, while exposure to ION Orchard, Plaza Singapura and Paragon gives it a strong position in Singapore’s prime retail market. At around book value, I also think the valuation is reasonable for a REIT of this quality. What attracts me most is the combination of income and potential DPU growth. The Paragon acquisition should provide additional contribution, while lower interest rates could gradually reduce financing costs.

TRADE PLAN

TRADE PLAN for Tuesday 📈 $SPX just finished up a 4th day of consolidation above 7700. The market may not break out of this current range until after CPI data premarket on Wednesday. MOST likely we see another range day tomorrow so just wait until we see CPI data before trading this week. SPX needs through 7800 to test 8000. $MU every pop higher gets sold near/above 900 the past week. Until we see MU close above 900 and hold for at least 3 trading days, Avoid trading the upside for it. $QQQ all time high is at 748. QQQ closed at 720.87 today. QQQ can trade in a wide range from 712-748 for now. It's a risk off environment for Chip and memory stocks until we see $MU and $SNDK lead again.

TOPWalterD: Core CPI under 0.3% and 7800 probably goes fast. Till then cash gang feels right

Intel Expands Stock Sale to $20B: How $95 Offering Price Guides Strike Selection

$Intel(INTC)$ is expanding its common stock offering to $20 billion at an anticipated $95 per share offering price. While massive $100 billion institutional demand underscores long-term backing, near-term equity dilution keeps shares trading near $97.52. The $95 institutional price acts as a critical valuation anchor that directly dictates option strike selection. IF YOU ALREADY OWN THE SHARES If you hold 100 or more shares, selling a covered call (selling the right for someone else to buy your shares at a set price to collect immediate cash income) monetizes high implied volatility while buffering against dilution.

I’d pick cybersecurity as the sector with the most room to run.

Why Intel’s $15 Billion Share Sale Is a Test of Its Foundry Turnaround

$Intel(INTC)$’s decision to issue $15 billion of common stock captures the central tension in its recovery: demand for computing infrastructure is improving, but building a competitive semiconductor foundry requires enormous investment before the resulting factories and process technologies produce dependable returns. Intel announced the proposed offering on August 10. The underwriters also received a 30-day option to purchase as much as another $2.25 billion of shares. Intel said the proceeds would support general corporate purposes, including capital spending and working capital. The company’s official offering announcement and August 10 SEC filing establish the structure and intended uses. The bullish interpretation is that Intel is raising cap

Why Embraer’s Record Backlog Is Finally Converting Into Cash

$Embraer S.A.(EMBJ)$’s second-quarter results suggest that the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer is moving from a story about future demand to one about present execution. Record revenue, higher margins and a sharp free-cash-flow improvement show that its large backlog is beginning to convert into aircraft deliveries and earnings. Embraer reported on August 10 for the quarter ended June 30. Revenue increased 23% year over year to $2.24 billion, adjusted EBIT reached $296.9 million and the adjusted EBIT margin expanded to 13.3%. Adjusted net income rose to $218.6 million, while adjusted free cash flow reached $401 million after a $162 million outflow one year earlier. The company’s official second-quarter release provides the financial and divisional

I would separate the two trades. **Tencent is likely to set the tone for the Hang Seng Tech Index, but SMIC and Hua Hong will determine whether the semiconductor rally still deserves its domestic-substitution premium.** For Tencent, I would not automatically interpret revenue growth of roughly 10% versus EPS growth of roughly 4% as deterioration. The key question is *why* earnings lag. Tencent entered Q2 after Q1 revenue rose 9% to RMB196.5 billion while non-IFRS profit rose 11% and operating margin improved to 38.5%. If Wednesday's results show games and advertising remaining strong but AI/cloud investment temporarily absorbing the incremental profit, investors may tolerate weaker EPS leverage. The distinction is important: **margin compression caused by weak pricing is bearish; margin co

I’m not ready to call the end of the AI optics cycle after COHR dropped 14%, LITE 8.6% and AXTI 16.7%. To me, this looks more like a valuation reset ahead of $COHERENT(COHR)$ earnings than proof that AI optical demand has weakened. AAOI’s 800G growth and Lumentum’s long-term InP supply deal still point to strong underlying demand. However, expectations are extremely high. Even strong growth may not be enough if COHR’s margins or guidance fail to beat what investors have already priced in. Trade restrictions could also create a mixed impact, helping U.S. suppliers while raising upstream supply and cost risks. Personally, I’m waiting for COHR’s earnings before making an aggressive move. Strong results and guidance could make this selloff an attract

I would **not call this a broad space-sector rally restart yet**. The price action looks more like a **SpaceX-specific leadership/positioning trade**, while the market is becoming more demanding about fundamentals elsewhere. Rocket Lab illustrates the problem. Q2 revenue really was a record **$234.1 million, +62% YoY**, slightly ahead of expectations, and management said launch demand remains extremely strong. It has signed more than **$437 million of Electron, HASTE and Neutron bookings** during Q2 and since quarter-end. Yet the $0.08-per-share loss was wider than the roughly $0.05 expected, and investors sold the shares.  That is actually quite revealing. Investors are no longer rewarding **revenue growth alone**. Rocket Lab's next phase requires converting its backlog and spending

I would pick CICT. The Paragon acquisition strengthens its exposure to prime Orchard Road luxury retail, while its diversified retail and office portfolio provides more resilience than relying on a single recovery theme. Stronger tourism, luxury spending and Orchard Road rents could provide further upside. Starhill Global REIT is arguably the more interesting value play because of its deep discount, but a cheap valuation needs a catalyst before that gap necessarily closes. Suntec REIT could benefit from Singapore's MICE recovery, although its office exposure and financing costs add more uncertainty. My ranking: CICT > Starhill > Suntec. I prefer CICT's combination of quality assets, diversification and earnings visibility, while Starhill would be the higher-risk re-rating opportunit

Why Barrick’s North American IPO Cannot Hide Rising Mining Costs

$Barrick Mining Corporation(B)$’s agreement with $Newmont Mining(NEM)$ removes a major obstacle to separating its North American assets, but the market’s negative reaction shows that corporate restructuring cannot substitute for cost control. High gold prices lifted earnings, while fuel, royalties and lower ore grades pressured the economics underneath them. Barrick reported on August 10 for the quarter ended June 30. Revenue increased approximately 44% to $5.29 billion, and net earnings rose to $1.22 billion, or $0.73 per share, from $811 million, or $0.47, one year earlier. Gold production was broadly flat at 796,000 ounces, while copper output declined 5% to 56,000 tonnes. Barrick’s official second-quarter

$Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ delivered faster growth, more subscribers and higher spending per customer in the second quarter.
