Why Getty Images’ Strong Editorial Business Cannot Solve Its Debt Problem Alone
$Getty Images Holdings, Inc(GETY)$’ second-quarter report showed that demand for trusted news, sports and entertainment photography remains resilient. However, declining creative revenue, weaker customer retention and a highly leveraged balance sheet leave the company dependent on a financing solution after its proposed Shutterstock merger collapsed. GETTY IMAGES LOGO | Photo Contest Deadlines Getty reported after the August 10 close for the quarter ended June 30. Revenue declined 2.5% to $229.1 million, including a 2.6% fall in Creative revenue and 9.2% growth in Editorial revenue.

Why International Seaways’ Record Dividend Should Not Be Treated as Permanent Income
$International Seaways Inc(INSW)$ reported the strongest quarter in its history and declared a record dividend as disruption to global oil routes lifted tanker demand and freight rates. The distribution is financially supported by current earnings, but shipping’s extreme cyclicality means it should not be mistaken for a fixed long-term payment. International Seaways reported before the August 10 market open for the quarter ended June 30. Shipping revenue increased to approximately $467 million from $196 million one year earlier, while net income reached $295 million, or $5.91 per diluted share, compared with $62 million, or $1.25. Adjusted EBITDA reached $345 million and free cash flow was $261 million. The company’s official second-quarter releas

JD Q2 Earnings Preview: Stagnant Core Business – Can Valuation Hold Steady?
JD will release its Q2 earnings report before market open this Thursday. Analysts forecast its total revenue will hit RMB 342.10 billion in Q2 2026, with adjusted EPS at RMB 5.4. $京东(JD)$ In terms of valuation, JD’s current price-to-earnings ratio stands at 20.54, staying flat with little fluctuation over recent years. Breaking down JD’s revenue mix, its business is split into two core segments: product sales and service offerings, with vastly different performance trends. Weak consumer demand for electronics and home appliances has dragged down product sales. Analysts expect this category’s Q2 revenue to drop 14.66% year-on-year, pulling overall net product revenue down 7.58% from last year. On the service side, high-margin busine

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 🐶📉 Why I Just Sold NVDA to Take Profit — Daily Chart + Minute Chart + My Cash-Secured Put Plan Today I decided to take profit on NVDA at around $219.20 🐶💰. I only sold a tiny fraction of my position, but the reason is important: I want to lock in gains while the stock is showing signs of short-term weakness. My next plan is to sell a cash-secured put at the $195 strike and collect premium while waiting for a better entry price. 🦴📊 📈🐶 What I Saw on the Daily Chart Looking at the daily chart, NVDA recently rallied strongly and moved above the $222–223 resistance area 🚀📈. However, today’s candle pulled back after touching that region. The stock is now trading around $219, which is below the recent intraday high. That tells me mome

$SPCX 20260821 115.0 PUT$ Last week both my SPCX cash secured put contracts expired worthless as its share price rebounded after the lock up period. While I sell CSP on SPCX, I have yet to have an idea at what price point do I really want to own the underlying. Will set my strike price as resistance and support level, and depending on price action where the price will be at time of expiration to decide if to take on assignment or to roll it if the share price do drop below my strike.

MCD is more than just a fast food business?
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. We have always known MCD as the dividend king, or a “blue chip” stock. With that mindset, investors often doubt it’s potential to grow in the future, compared to its counterparts. However, this author has an interesting perspective to share. We could see MCD as a REIT as well, with its extensive real estate holdings d/t its global influence. So perhaps it has potential to pivot and offer shareholders even more heading into the future. Are you loving it? I definitely am loving it. This is one of the stock which provides me consistent profit through selling put options over the past 6 months. As everyone is chasing that new darling stock, when AI i

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
TOP107% is strong, but I already trimmed AI chips. You really think that data center pace holds into next year?
