Round Up. The wait is finally over - $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ handed in its earnings report card on Wed, 22 Apr 2026 after US market closed for the day. Is it a stellar set of numbers ?

Bull Put Spread To Ride On PLTR Government AI Moat Potential Before Next Earnings
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ ’s recent 4.6% gain (closing at $152.62 on April 22, 2026) followed the announcement of a $300 million contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This deal is significant not just for its size, but because it signals a deepening of Palantir’s "moat" within civilian government operations. We are holding PLTR for long term so in this article, we are sharing how we might explore playing the Bull Put spread option for PLTR before its next earnings on 04 May 2026. The Government AI Moat: Depth and Impact The USDA contract suggests Palantir’s government moat is evolving from a defense-only niche into a broader "operating system" for the federal government. Civilian Expansion: Historically, Palantir’s stre
Strategic Outlook: Balancing Keppel DC’s 13% DPU Growth with Short-term TA Risks
Technical Analysis (TA): The "Rising Wedge" Dilemma $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ The chart highlights a Rising Wedge pattern, a classic technical formation that often signals a potential trend reversal or consolidation. 1. Pattern & Price Action The Wedge: Price is currently trading within converging upward trendlines. While it looks bullish because it's making higher highs and higher lows, a rising wedge is traditionally a bearish reversal pattern in a mature uptrend. Key Resistance: The upper boundary of the wedge sits around $2.50 – $2.55. Price recently touched $2.38 (as of April 23, 2026), showing some resistance as it nears the upper rail. Immediate Support: Watch the lower trendline, currently around $2.25. A breakdown below this li

$GME: Cash War Chest + Treasury Hire = Strategic Pivot Ahead
$GameStop(GME)$ just quietly posted 2 executive roles at HQ this week. One in legal, the other in treasury...after a very quiet hiring stretch. What does this tell me? Welp, "global Treasury" = capital allocation shift. This is the interesting one. That role usually handles cash management, investments, M&A funding, capital structure (buybacks, debt, etc.). Meaning that they are prob prepp'ing to do something more sophisticated with cash. This CAN (and typically does) include acquisitions. Ryan Cohen's comments about "a very, very, very big" acquisition have me watching this change closely. Pair this with massive, unusual insider buying + a huge company cash position. I'm not saying an acquisition is guaranteed, but using my elementary school c
Tesla falls 3% overnight before losing 3.6%; Position this earnings season with 3x DLCs
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ delivered an earnings beat after the close on Wednesday (22 April), but the stock still slipped 3% overnight as investors focused on Elon Musk’s warning that capital expenditure will rise sharply, with 2026 spending now set to exceed prior guidance. Amplifying the move, the $TESLA 3xShortSG280330(RLSW.SI)$ gained about 9% on Thursday in Singapore, while the $TESLA 3xLongSG261006(TSYW.SI)$ fell by a similar magnitude. Tesla went on to fall close to 3.6% by US market close, lifting the Tesla 3x Short DLC up a further 1.7% to close up 10.9% on a US market close to close. During the previous earnings season,

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ beat EPS expectations at $0.41 vs $0.37 and made $22.38B. Here's why it SPIKED then crashed...🚩 The single largest driver of the profitability improvement was "one-time benefits related to warranty and tariffs" not cost cuts, not volume growth, not FSD revenue. This is not good. Tesla built over 50,000 more vehicles than it sold, signaling significant inventory buildup. You don't want cars sitting on lots. Remember, net income was only $477M on $22.4B in revenue a 2.1% net margin while the company trades at over 150x GAAP earnings. Energy storage revenue fell 12% YoY sec, which was supposed to be Tesla's fastest-growing segment. So pay attention, the quality of the beat is questionable it was built on one-time items, not organ
AMD Continue Its Run, Long-Term Investors Could Consider Bull Put Spread For Q1 Earnings.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$’s move past $300 (hitting $305.33 at the close on April 23, 2026, and surging as high as $328.70 in after-hours trading) marks a significant structural revaluation. While Nvidia remains the undisputed leader in market cap, AMD is carving out a distinct and highly valuable path that mirrors Nvidia's transition from a "hardware seller" to an "AI platform provider." I am holding AMD for long-term so in this article, I am exploring whether it is a good time to play bull pull spread on AMD upcoming earnings on 05 May 2026. 1. Is AMD the next Nvidia? AMD is following a similar "flywheel" effect, but with a different strategy. While Nvidia dominates through vertical integration (CUDA + H100/Blackwell), AMD is positioning itse

Markets reward companies that control demand, but risks emerge when customer concentration rises or supply dynamics shift. This is a cross-sector snapshot of how demand ownership, platform dynamics, and industry structure drive outcomes. 1. $Netflix(NFLX)$ I didn't understand Netflix $NFLX 10 years ago, but I learned lessons from that mistake. 1. Users > Profits: In a digital business, it's critical to reach scale. Profits don't matter on the path to scale. 2. Delay Taking Price: Margins are low? Who cares! See #1. 3. Suppliers eventually have to bend the knee to the one who owns demand. You don't say, "I'm going to watch Sony's K-Pop tonight." You say, "I'm going to watch Netflix." Demand matters above all else. Owning the customer is the ulti
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Energy storage is no longer a growth business for Tesla and the next step is margin pressure. This was all completely foreseeable. 1. Tesla had the capacity to take advantage of Biden-era battery subsidies more than any other company. 2. Subsidies bring competitors, but supply takes time to come online. 3. Eventually, added supply puts pressure on pricing, eating margins for everyone. We're between #2 and #3 today. Over the next 2 years, margins will compress further, as energy products always do. Tale as old as time. Related: Tesla is sitting on its highest level of debt and future obligations, including net payables of $11.7 billion, $3.4 billion in unearned revenue (FSD pre-payments), and $31.6 billion in other expenses (wa
This is a curated list of 50 high-volume stocks (>$100M average daily volume) showing relative strength across the market. The goal is to identify where institutional money is flowing and which themes are leading. A clear pattern emerges: leadership is heavily concentrated in five key industry groups — Semiconductors, Software Infrastructure, Semiconductor Equipment, Electronic Components, and Computer Hardware. Together, these sectors form the core of the current AI and next-gen compute trade. Outside of tech, selective strength is also appearing in areas like Energy (uranium), Travel, Solar, and Aerospace & Defense, suggesting pockets of rotation rather than broad-based participation. This list is best used as a top-down scan tool — to track leadership, spot continuation setups, a
The Market’s Favourite Noise Machine There are moments when a stock stops behaving like a spreadsheet and starts behaving like a headline. Boeing is firmly in that camp. At roughly $231, pressing toward the upper end of its 52-week range, it is trading less like a recovering industrial and more like a narrative in motion. I find the fascination understandable. $Boeing(BA)$ sits at the crossroads of geopolitics, energy shocks, and industrial execution. Yet what interests me is not the noise itself, but whether that noise is masking a deeper repricing of what Boeing actually is: a constrained asset with unusually visible demand. The market appears to be pricing Boeing as though its problems are cyclical. I am not convinced they are. When noise outpace
Can Schlumberger (SLB) Momentum Continue With Geopolitical Tensions Volatility?
$SLB Ltd(SLB)$ is set to report its fiscal Q1 2026 earnings tomorrow, Friday, April 24, 2026, before the market opens. The report comes at a volatile time for the energy sector. While the quarter started with subdued oil prices, a significant late-quarter surge in March (driven by Middle East geopolitical tensions) likely shifted the momentum in SLB's favor. Q1 2026 Earnings Expectations Adjusted EPS: Estimated at $0.51 to $0.53 (Representing a nearly 30% decline YoY). Revenue: Expected around $8.63B to $8.7B (A modest 1.6% to 2% increase YoY). Implied Move: The options market is currently pricing in a 4.59% one-day price move post-earnings, significantly higher than the historical average move of 1.57%.
