Yes—but I think the more interesting question is why Wall Street is upgrading them. The latest analyst moves suggest investors are no longer simply chasing “AI winners.” They are looking for companies positioned to monetize the next stage of the cycle. Apple is the clearest example. Redburn upgraded AAPL to Buy and lifted its target from $260 to $400, betting on a stronger product cycle and AI-driven opportunities. Meanwhile, BMO’s bullish coverage of NVDA, AMD, AVGO, MRVL and MU shows that AI spending is still spreading across the entire infrastructure stack—not just GPUs. For me, that is the key takeaway: the market is moving from “Who builds AI?” to “Who captures the profits?” Personally, I pay more attention to repeated upgrades, earnings growth and cash flow than any single price tar

On Monday, $拼多多(PDD)$ released its Q2 2026 earnings report. Revenue reached RMB 1123.6 billion, up 8% year‑on‑year, slightly below market consensus with slower growth momentum. Profitability beat expectations: adjusted EPS hit RMB 19.3 versus the market forecast of RMB 18.5, and adjusted net profit came in at RMB 284.9 billion, also modestly exceeding estimates. Following earnings release, PDD’s stock staged a sharp intraday rally‑then‑fade. Boosted by better‑than‑expected profits, the price surged as high as $91.35, up nearly 3%. However, the market later priced in revenue‑growth disappointment, triggering selling pressure. Shares drifted lower to an intraday low of $86.26 and closed at $87.07, down 1.48%.

Rocket Lab Shot Up 460% in a Year, Then Sank 50%. Here's Its Chart Rocket Lab shot up more than 460% over 12 months to hit a $151 all-time high on May 27, but fell back to Earth and sank some 50% in the nearly four months since then. Let's see what the space-launch firm's chart and fundamentals can tell us about what might happen next. Rocket Lab's Fundamental Analysis $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ released Q2 results earlier this month, posting a $0.02 adjusted loss per share on $234.1 million of revenue – easily beating the Street's expectations. Perhaps most notably, the firm's order backlog reached $2.4 billion during the quarter, representing 137% in year-over-year growth. Management also guided
I would wait for both Nvidia and Jackson Hole to clear rather than add before the print. The issue is no longer whether Nvidia can beat consensus. Current estimates vary by source, roughly around $92bn revenue and $2.09 EPS, and options imply about a 6% post-earnings move. More importantly, Nvidia has fallen after each of its past four earnings reports despite consistently beating expectations. The long-term case remains compelling. The analyst consensus is still Strong Buy, with the $304.73 mean target implying about 46% upside from Monday's close. But this week combines two separate risks: Nvidia determining whether AI spending expectations remain credible, then Warsh potentially moving long-term yields at Jackson Hole. I would therefore keep Nvidia rather than sell, but hold
A) Copper & Mining gets my vote, with BHP as the one I would be most comfortable buying. The copper rally still has fundamental support rather than being purely momentum-driven. Electrification, grid investment and AI infrastructure are increasing demand, while supply remains constrained. S&P Global expects data-centre copper demand alone to rise from 1.1m tonnes in 2025 to 2.5m by 2040. I prefer BHP over the more concentrated copper miners because it combines growing copper exposure with diversification. Copper already contributed more than half of BHP's adjusted EBITDA last year, and management expects copper production to rise substantially over the longer term. Valuation is the main concern after the rally, so I would accumulate rather than chase aggressively. Bonus pick: Visa
My pick is Apple (AAPL). Rothschild & Co Redburn’s upgrade from Neutral to Buy, with the target jumping from $260 to $400, is one of the more interesting calls this week. The thesis rests on the upcoming premium foldable iPhone and Apple potentially becoming a stronger AI “fast follower”. I would not interpret the broader wave of upgrades as proof that “smart money” is uniformly bullish, though. AI semiconductors are already one of the market’s most crowded trades, so expectations are extremely high. For AAPL, I like the ecosystem, pricing power and potential new product cycle, but at current valuations execution matters. A $400 target becomes credible only if the foldable iPhone expands revenue rather than simply cannibalising existing models, while Apple finally demonstrates meaning

[Earnings Recap] XPeng Sinks 9%, PDD Slips1.48% — A Rough Day for China Growth Stocks
Monday’s earnings slate was relatively light, but several names still moved sharply. XPeng sold off after issuing a weak revenue outlook, while PDD finished lower as investors weighed slowing growth against stronger-than-expected profit. $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$ -8.6% XPeng is a Chinese electric-vehicle maker that is also expanding into autonomous driving, AI and humanoid robotics. Q2 revenue reached RMB19.74 billion, while vehicle deliveries totaled 103,295, roughly flat from a year earlier. Gross margin improved to 20.7%, but the company posted a net loss of RMB1.34 billion. The bigger concern was guidance. XPeng expects Q3 revenue of RMB21.7 billion–RMB23.4 billion, well below the roughly RMB26.6 billion Wall Street expected. The comp
$Hongkong Land (H78.SI) Drops 0.8% as Profit-Taking Pulls Back From $8.50 Peak
$HongkongLand USD(H78.SI)$ Closed -0.59% at $8.37: Defensive Dividend Play Holds Near 52-Week High, Range Tightens Latest Close Data: Closed at $8.37, down 0.59% from $8.42 prior close. Intraday range $8.33–$8.50. Sitting just 5.5% below its 52-week high of $8.83. Core Market Drivers: Hongkong Land continues to benefit from defensive capital rotation into high-dividend, asset-backed property names.

🇨🇳🇸🇬 China & Asia Internet Stocks: Alibaba Isn’t the Whole Story
🔥 Alibaba, PDD, Tencent, JD.com & Sea/Shopee — which one is best positioned for the next AI + e-commerce cycle? I’ve been thinking about the recent debate around Alibaba and Michael Burry’s bearish view. Alibaba is down about 0.7% in the U.S. session in the screenshot, while its Hong Kong shares were slightly higher. But personally, I think focusing only on “Is Alibaba a buy or sell?” misses the bigger picture. 👉 The more interesting question is: What happens to the entire Asian internet sector as companies spend aggressively on AI, compete for online consumers, and try to turn that investment into higher future revenue? Instead of looking at one stock at a time, I want to compare several companies that are exposed to this broader trend: 🇨🇳 Alibaba — AI + Cloud + E-commerce 🇨🇳 PDD Hold
$PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ reported a profitable second quarter and generated more operating cash, yet its American depositary receipts surrendered an early rally and closed lower. The reversal reflects a problem that a low earnings multiple cannot solve by itself: investors still cannot determine how much Temu’s expansion, tariffs and regulatory compliance will cost or how quickly those investments can produce durable returns. PDD reported before the August 24 US market open for the quarter ended June 30. Revenue increased 8% year over year to RMB112.4 billion, below the RMB116.35 billion market estimate. Transaction-services revenue increased 13% to RMB54.7 billion, while online-marketing revenue rose only about 3% to RMB57.6 billion. Net income att
Why NAPCO’s 28% Intraday Reversal Overwhelmed an Excellent Quarter
$NAPCO Security(NSSC)$ delivered record quarterly revenue, rapidly growing recurring revenue and a large earnings beat. Its stock opened sharply higher and briefly reached a record price, then collapsed below the prior close. That reversal suggests investors questioned how much of the margin improvement was sustainable once tariff refunds are removed. NAPCO reported on August 24 for its fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30. Revenue increased 10% to a record $55.8 million, recurring-service revenue rose 12.9% to $25.3 million and equipment revenue increased 7.7% to $30.5 million. Net income advanced 52.7% to $17.8 million, or $0.50 per share, while adjusted EBITDA increased 44.3% to $20.6 million. NAPCO’s official results provide the figures. The bu
Why Zoom Must Turn AI Companion Usage Into Faster Enterprise Expansion
$Zoom(ZM)$ reports fiscal-second-quarter results after the August 25 close. Its first quarter showed strong margins, cash flow and rapid AI adoption, but revenue still grew only in the mid-single digits. The next report must show whether AI Companion and adjacent products can increase customer spending rather than merely protect the core meeting franchise. Zoom reported on May 21 for the quarter ended April 30. Revenue increased 5.5% to approximately $1.24 billion, enterprise revenue rose 7.2% and non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 41.1%. Non-GAAP EPS reached $1.55, while free cash flow increased to $500.5 million. Zoom ended the quarter with $7.7 billion of cash and marketable securities. Zoom’s official first-quarter release provides the result
$CNMC Goldmine(5TP.SI)$ 2 Target Price. CNMC Goldmine(5TP) will upsurge in coming weeks due to discovery of rare metals deposits, global geopolitical tension in middle-east & latin American, distrust in U.S treasury bonds and it's currency. China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group (CNMC) has recently discovered rare metal earth deposits, on top of GOLD ores, in it's Sokor Gold field, Malaysia. Production Expansion: CNMC Goldmine's carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant expansion has increased daily processing capacity to 800 tonnes, supporting higher output potential. - Earnings Growth: Strong FY-2025 earning growth, with a 40% net profit increase in Year-2025 PATMI to US$42 million. *Analyst Price Target for CNMC:* - Phillip Securities has a BUY rating wit
I’d go with A) Copper & Mining. $BHP Billiton(BHP)$ , $Southern Copper Corp(SCCO)$ and $Freeport-McMoRan(FCX)$ are benefiting from structural demand from electrification, grid expansion and AI data centers, while limited supply growth keeps the long-term copper story attractive. Among them, I’d pick FCX for its strong copper exposure and Grasberg production growth. That said, I wouldn’t aggressively chase
🌟I would pick B: just a short term safe haven ahead of $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ earnings as my immediate action plan & then when the cloud clears, I would execute the playbook of E: AI remains the main line after a pullback. Why? The headline driven media loves to scream that the Great Rotation has arrived every time tech stumbles. They want you to believe that funds are permanently fleeing the digital revolution to live inside grocery stores and retail banks forever. This is just a psychological illusion.
