Microsoft Stock Surges After Revenue, Earnings BeatsMicrosoft (MSFT) announced its quarterly earnings after the closing bell on Tuesday, beating analysts' expectations on revenue and earnings per share. The tech giant reported revenue of $56.5 billion in the quarter, above consensus estimates of $54.5 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) topped out at $2.99 compared with an anticipated $2.66 per share. The company saw adjusted EPS of $2.35 during the same quarter last year. Shares rose more than 3% in early trading on Wednesday, after Microsoft said higher-than-expected AI consumption boosted its cloud business. Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud segment, which includes its Azure business, brought in $24.3 billion in the quarter. Wall Street was looking for revenue of $23.6 billion. Azure and other cloud services revenue jumped 29% in the quarter, beating Wall Street's expectations of 27%. "With copilots, we are making the age of AI real for people and businesses everywhere," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. "We are rapidly infusing AI across every layer of the tech stack and for every role and business process to drive productivity gains for our customers.” The company's Productivity & Business Processes, meanwhile, saw revenue of $18.6 billion, while More Personal Computing took in revenue of $13.7 billion versus analysts' expectations of $18.3 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively. Microsoft has made AI a cornerstone of its business over the last year, announcing a massive $10 billion investment in ChatGPT developer OpenAI and unveiling generative AI-enhanced versions of its Bing search engine and Edge browser in February. Since then, the company has launched various generative AI-powered Copilot apps for Outlook, Windows 11, and Microsoft 365. The software can summarize emails, help you draft documents and create PowerPoint presentations, and provide insight into Windows 11 features. Microsoft says it will combine the Copilots into a single app in the future. The investments are meant to help spark a new growth cycle for Microsoft, as customers look to artificial intelligence as a means of streamlining certain business processes and improving employee efficiency. In addition to its massive focus on AI capabilities, Microsoft recently closed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The deal is the largest in Microsoft’s history and instantly makes it the third-largest video game company in the world by revenue behind Tencent and Sony. The Federal Trade Commission, however, could still try to break up the companies on antitrust grounds.

How deep can hell be? (ATVI) Updates The hard times continue for the company that created Diablo (which knows about hell), which has lost 45% from the highs of February 2021. We are not that far from the bottom hit during the first wave of covid in 2020. We all know the reasons: the investigation into the sexual harassment of an employee. It is not my interest, to go into the merits, I simply report the facts in relation to trading. Nothing at an economic level, where the company has always been thriving and one of the most profitable, considering both the turnover from PC, console, and mobile gaming. In particular the mobile sector, many are not aware of, Activision-Blizzard is on the podium second only to Apple. From a fundamental point of view, therefore, this important collapse is attributable only to the internal questio n, which, let's be clear, was handled very badly by the company and which above all does not seem to have taken important positions on the fact. This behavior caused the price to fall below our September purchase price and to mediate, buying again in November at the price of $ 61.7 per share. This brought the average purchase price to $ 70.71 Right now we are on the POC of the last 2 years, which makes ATVI even more attractive, even if to make a third entry I will wait for $ 55, which literally represents the last volume node of the value area of ​​the last 2 years. To enter we are already on a very important level, we are clearly talking about an undervalued company, which is at this level for certainly important issues, but which have nothing to do with its economic performance. Obviously, the question must be resolved immediately, especially considering the relationship with investors. Reasonably, it is clearer to say that the market has already heavily discounted the problem. I close by saying that 2022 should be an important year, for the release of Diablo 4, Blizzard's historic franchise, as well as Overwatch 2.

𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘽𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙮?I am an old World Of Warcraft player (ravencrest:). Blizzard makes up about 30% of income $ATVI (Activision Blizzard, Inc.) . I know a lot about their products: WoW, Warzone, etc. And today I will talk about ATVI not only from the side of chart analysis. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨: 📉 Shadowlands was good on start - against the background of the past sh#t BFA. It was a breath of clean air. But it's still sh#t expansion without new and exciting content. - I see here a good correlation with expansion success like "Legion" and the price of a company. 📉 Warzone was good on start :) Nowadays it's not in the top 5 twitch. Pubg and Fortnite are more popular. Also, we have Valorant and APEX. 📉 Negative news background: courts, complaints, layoffs. 📉 On M chart we are under 50 MA. 📉 Still far from 200 MA 𝙎𝙤... 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙏𝙑𝙄 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙮. ✅ We have a support line on 57.54$. Here you can invest a very small amount. It's risky. ✅ Next one is price ZONE 42$-50$. It's a good spot to invest. With normal SL and risk ratio. ✅ the Last one is 200MA line. I can't guarantee that we continue to fall into this buy zone. But, I think it's the best risk/profit deal here. P.s. Have interesting companies from $SPY or $NSDQ100 ? Leave it in the comments, I'll do a post like this about your company. P.s.2 Follow me for more :) Good luck, V.

Activision - Blizzard (ATVI) UpdatesActivision - Blizzard Update After entering $ 78 in September, the price dropped almost to my second limit order at $ 71, and then began what could be a bullish phase. The price bounces right on the POC of the last 18 months and then shows strength on Thursday. The Earnings next week could give the definitive answer and in practice, I will cancel the limit order because if there will be a negative situation, the price could also fall below $ 70. At least I'm waiting, because in case of a major retracement, the next levels to accumulate are $ 66 and $ 60. If there are interesting Earnings, the targets are: - $ 85 (short term target) - 90 $ (important volumetric resistance. - $ 100 (volumetric node close to the all-time high where the price could retrace or lateralize creating an accumulation situation) Happy trading Lazy Bull DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor nor a CPA.

ATVI: Long (Head & shoulders + support)Activision Blizzard is once again at the channel resistance. Additionally, there is an inverted head and shoulders. We can expect a retest of the Neck line at the point of its intersection with the support line (about $ 75). According to the indicators, we have a bullish background. I put the stop loss level at $ 69.8 (-11.5%) - slightly below the round number and 3% below the previous local minimum. Take Profit was set at $ 97.7 (+ 23.85%) below the horizontal resistance and below the circular number (100). The entry into the position will be increased by the pyramiding method.

Activision Blizzard: Stock Analysis With Volume Profile 📊ATVI – Company Profile And Current Problems ATVI is a company merged from two companies Activision and Blizzard. Both companies make computer games. Blizzard made games like World Of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, … I would say it is a legendary game studio that every person who plays or played computer games knows. Blizzard is currently having some problems as lots of their employees went on strike, because they did not like how the company was treating them. If you start reading the news then you will see that there is quite a lot of the bad stuff that came up and that the company needs to deal with. Even though the company is going through tough times now, I don’t think this is something from which they can’t recover. Also, a lot of the bad stuff is related more to single “scandals” and not to the overall economic state and health of the company. Blizzard still has strong and huge fan support and a very good business model. The strikes and the problems the company is facing now hasn’t affected that (yet). Still, those current problems made the ATVI stock drop from around $100 to $80 per share. I think this could be a nice opportunity to buy a good stock for a nice discount 🙂 Why do I think now could be the good time? Let me explain… ATVI: Volume Profile Analysis The price of ATVI stock has been in a strong uptrend since 2019. I used my Flexible Volume Profile indicator to see how volumes were distributed throughout the uptrend area. As you can see from the picture below, there was a significant heavy volume area around 79.00. This means that the BIG trading institutions who were driving the price of ATVI higher and higher were adding massively to their Long positions there. This was a very important zone for them. What happened now, is that due to the problems the company is facing the price dropped right into the heavy volume area. This heavy volume area should now work as a strong Support as those BIG institutions who were adding to their Longs there before should defend this zone.This zone is important for them – lot of their money is there! The chart below is a Weekly chart and there has already formed a pinbar exactly at the 79.00 Support. This could mean the buying reaction has already started. The Volume Profile setup I used there is called the “Trend Setup“. Price Action Setup A nice addition to the Trend Setup is also a Price Action setup. This Price Action setup says that a broken Resistance becomes a Support . If you look at the chart below, then you can see that the area around 79.00 has already worked as a very strong Resistance in the past. The price bounced off it three times. Each reaction was a very strong one. Then at the end of 2020 this Resistance got breached and it became a Support – the Support the price is currently testing. What is nice about this is that the two setups – Volume Profile and Price Action align and both point to the same Support area around 79.00 Summary How I currently see it is that employee problems in the company caused a drop of the stock. The problems were only in one of the merged companies – in Blizzard. Not in Activision. I believe that the company is strong and that this won’t affect their sales too much. The price has now dropped to a significant Support and I think this might be a nice opportunity to buy a good company for a discounted price. Still, the problems could start to pile up and for that reason, I would advise you to be careful and if you decide to invest in ATVI now, then do so with a smaller trading position. I hope you guys liked my analysis! Let me know what you think in the comments below! Happy trading, -Dale

Blizzard Activision Blizzard is an American developer and publisher of games for PCs, consoles, and smartphones. One of the most attractive companies in the gaming industry at the moment. They own many strong gaming franchises like Overwatch, Diablo, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush, and others. The last three franchises mentioned exceeded the $1 billion profit in 2020. Who played these games? Write in the comments! Also, the company plans to release games on smartphones across all its franchises. Mobile gaming is a fast-growing business at Activision. The Call of Duty audience of 40 million had exploded to 100 million in a year. It thanks to the successful launch of the mobile version. By the way, the game has recently launched in China. The upcoming releases are expected to include Overwatch 2 in 2022 and Diablo 4 in 2023. Technically, it formed a gap, which we expect to fill shortly. Activision has good prospects because of the ongoing pandemic, future releases, and the company's good current performance. Best regards EXCAVO

ATVI (Blizzard) / USD - Weekly Short-mid term forecast Looking for a push up towards 77.20 within the next couple months. FA: The Covid crises have impacted most industries for the worst, however the gaming industry in particular has been travelling well. The increased demand in gaming, release of popular new games and the much anticipated arrival of new generation consoles kept consumer demand trending in a bullish direction. TA: As bullish as the FA is, entering the long trade still may require some patience. Currently looking for a bullish close above 68.30 on the daily (or 67.80 if entering on the 4H) and then watch closely for a potential re-test of local support. approx 12 days ago ATVI saw a strong break above a swing high resistance line of 64.40, posture remains in tact. Conservative mindset, anticipating another re-test of support closer towards 64.80. A more opportunistic mindset may look for an entry within the more immediate term. Always DYOR & keep risk managed :) *Disclaimer: The above analysis is an expressed opinion only and should not be confused as professional financial, investment, trading or legal advice.

Activision and it's recovery after Diablo 4 mobile version.... I was watching that announcement back in 2018. I think that it was great year for gaming community not in terms of good games but the power which costs Blizzard quite a s sum of money. Last quarter of 2018 bring huge appointment's like Diablo 4 mobile, battlefield 5, Fallout 76 or Anthem. Greed and lack of respect for customers I think reached very high level. Definitely blizzard is the company which is delivering most of the time the best quality games. I believe that ppl will argue with me etc but it is not the point. Point is that I have seen Diablo trailer, Diablo game-play, word of Warcraft classic was a very good move in my opinion too. If U look at the chart U will see that the drop stopped at 50% and it trading above 200 EMA. W.D. Gann often pointed out 50% as the important place on chart. If U believe at bull market for the next five years or so I'm pretty sure that entry at this level would be profitable and blizzard stocks will go beyond 100. Blizzard made also some cuts after that drop in share price which will have positive affect on share price when good games will be coming up. I will look for more info about it and if U have something interesting in regards this chart share.

Future of Blizzard Activision 150%+All the players who left World of Warcraft will come back for World of Warcraft: Classic, which will show up in the subscription numbers in the earnings announcements. This will also get a boost from Blizzard's mobile game Diablo Immortal, which will be most likely be released in 2019 +/- few months between the release of World of Warcraft: Classic. It will be also developed with a Chinese company NetEase, so it will get released in China. Keep an eye on NTES NetEase aswell, around that time.

$ATVI Risk/Reward HistoryBlizzard Activision has broken the trend of a 18% loss before a >60% gain, indicating that the cyclical nature may have been broken due to a mixed review on its publicized Diablo (mobile) and COD:BO4. The company will not be down for long though, as the RSI and VI are indicating that while reception of these products has been poor, the company is in no way going to zero. The company has also signed deals in esports recently for its everpopular overwatch. However, their esports scene has not been as epic as expected, yet there are new facilities being constructed worldwide. We will see if starcraft can make a resurgence again, doubtful unfortunately. Focuses seem to be trending towards pushing Diablo for younger/mobile audiences. But are they too late to the game as other companies have dominated the mobile scene?
