Xiaomi Drops but Strong Results & EV Entry Are SupportiveThe stock of Xiaomi posts its first losing week in more than a month, despite its mostly strong quarterly results on Thursday and the upgraded guidance on EV deliveries. The drop likely reflects the broader decline of the Hang Seng Index due to geopolitical concerns. It also makes sense from a technical standpoint, since it had reached highly overbought levels.
It is now at a critical technical juncture, as it tests the 50 line on the RSI and is exposed to the 38.2% Fibonacci of this year’s advance. A breach of these levels would open the door to deeper correction that could challenge the EMA200 (black line) and the Ichimoku Cloud, but these levels can contains such moves.
However, Xiaomi reported a 27% y/y increase in revenue in Q1 and 37.6% y/y rise in operating profits. Furthermore, its smartphone shipments increased and the No 3 maker globally can benefit from the expected recovery of the market, following last year’s contraction.
Most importantly, the Chinese smartphone maker made its foray into electric vehicles this year, continuing to diversify and search for new growth markets. Demand for its SU7 sedan, deliveries of which began in late March, has been very high. It has already handed over 10,000 vehicles since May 15 and aims to deliver more than 100K units this year.
Its entry into EVs has fueled a rally in its stock and can drive further gains. Even if there is risk of deeper pullback, the path of least resistance is higher, especially if the 38.2% Fibonacci holds.

Nvidia Stock Surges After Exceeding Earnings Expectations Nvidia Shares Surge Over 6% in Premarket Trading
Shares of Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) rose more than 6% in premarket trading on Thursday following the company's impressive first-quarter results and CEO Jensen Huang's remarks about the soaring demand for its upcoming AI-optimized chip.
Nvidia, a California-based semiconductor giant, has seen its data center graphics processing units (GPUs) become crucial to the development of generative AI products. As a result, Nvidia's performance is now viewed as a key indicator of AI demand and a significant influence on broader market sentiment. U.S. stock futures also climbed in response to the report.
"The next industrial revolution has begun," Huang stated. "AI will bring significant productivity gains to nearly every industry, helping companies become more cost- and energy-efficient while expanding revenue opportunities."
Nvidia Stock Surges After Exceeding Earnings Expectations
Nvidia has exceeded market expectations with its April quarter results, solidifying its status as a crucial stock globally. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company's pivotal role in the evolving tech landscape, stating, "The next industrial revolution has begun. Companies and countries are partnering with Nvidia to shift traditional data centers to accelerated computing, creating AI factories to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence."
Nvidia's sales soared 262% in the first fiscal quarter to $26 billion, marking an 18% increase from the previous quarter. Earnings per share, excluding non-cash costs, reached $6.12, up 461% from the previous year and 19% from the prior quarter, surpassing Wall Street's estimates of $5.60 per share. Under generally accepted accounting principles, earnings were $5.98 per share.
The company also provided robust guidance for the July quarter, projecting revenue of $28 billion, surpassing the average Wall Street forecast of $26.6 billion. Nvidia's dominance in the AI platform sector was underscored by a more than fivefold increase in sales to cloud-computing data centers, which totaled $22.6 billion or 87% of total revenue. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress noted that large cloud providers were significant contributors, accounting for approximately 45% of all data center revenue in the quarter.

Despite the country's current 1% share in the global fabless industry—a term for semiconductor companies without production lines—President Yoon emphasized the strategic importance of this sector. "Semiconductors are a field where all-out national warfare is underway. Winning or losing depends on who can make cutting-edge semiconductors first," Yoon stated.

If that's not enough then the stock also gives a dividend with yield at 2.72% and it has paid dividend for 133 years and raised dividend for 67 consecutive years, what could be a better alternative than such a stable dividend paying stock during the upcoming downturn in the market (if it comes)
NVIDIA soars to an all-time high after Q2 earningsNVIDIA soars to an all-time high after Q2 earnings far exceed expectations
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares hit new all-time highs on Thursday following the release of the company's robust Q2 earnings report, which showed a performance that far exceeded Wall Street's expectations. The tech giant's guidance for the next quarter also topped forecasts, leading to a sharp rise in the company's shares.
Q2 earnings review
NVIDIA reported record Q2 earnings, putting to rest any doubts about its continued growth trajectory. Driven primarily by strong sales in its data center and gaming segments, the company's financial results beat estimates on both the top and bottom lines.
The company's revenue for the quarter came in at $7.4 billion, representing a healthy 68% year-over-year increase. NVIDIA's adjusted earnings per share were $1.04, beating the Wall Street consensus estimate of $0.89.
Driving factors
The impressive results were primarily driven by solid growth in the company's gaming segment, fuelled by insatiable demand for graphics processing units (GPUs). As the digital revolution continues, NVIDIA's high-performance chips have become indispensable business tools worldwide.
In addition to its traditional strength in gaming, NVIDIA's data center business continues to thrive. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC) has opened new avenues of growth for NVIDIA's data center GPU solutions. In addition, the company's acquisition of Mellanox has successfully strengthened NVIDIA's position in the data center networking market.
Forward-looking guidance
The most exciting news for investors was NVIDIA's forward-looking guidance. The company forecasted Q3 revenues of approximately $7.8 billion, a staggering 50% above the Wall Street consensus of $5.2 billion. This significant increase reinforced the bullish view of the company's future growth potential.
Market reaction
Investors reacted positively to the news, with NVIDIA shares soaring. The company's robust Q2 results and favorable Q3 guidance drove the share price to an all-time high, further cementing NVIDIA's position as a powerhouse in the global technology industry.
The bottom line
Despite an uncertain economic climate, NVIDIA continues to exceed expectations with its remarkable financial results. Its stronghold in the booming gaming and data center sectors and its optimistic forward guidance underpin a compelling growth narrative. Investors will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the tech giant as it continues to innovate and grow in the fast-paced world of digital technology.
Although NVIDIA's valuations may appear stretched after its recent run-up, its strong growth prospects could justify its high market capitalization. As always, potential investors should adopt a balanced approach, recognizing both the considerable upside potential and the inherent risks associated with high-growth technology stocks.
