Current market analysis and recent activity, as of December 2025, suggest that sector rotations away from a narrow focus on AI tech are currently in progress and are expected to continue.  AI spending not generating sufficient investment returns—exemplified by weak earnings from companies like Oracle and mixed signals from Broadcom— are accelerating a sector rotation away from the AI trade and whether this trend is likely to continue into 2026. 1. Investor Sentiment Has Shifted From Unquestioning AI Enthusiasm to Scrutiny Recent earnings events, particularly Oracle’s earnings disappointment and aggressive AI capex guidance, have acted as a catalyst for investor rethink rather than a standalone fundamental breakdown in AI demand: Oracle’s stock plunged sharply after disappointing forec

$Micron Technology(MU)$ upcoming Fiscal Q1 2026 earnings, which is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, 2025 (After Market Close). We need to be aware of the concerns about the "beat and drop" phenomenon seen with $Broadcom(AVGO)$ dropping more than 4% even though it handily beat estimates for its fiscal fourth quarter and with its guidance for the current period. Consensus Expectations: Revenue: ~$12.5B – $12.7B (approx. +45% YoY). EPS: ~$3.83 (a massive swing from losses/low profits in previous cycles). The "Broadcom Risk": Broadcom fell because while its AI business boomed, its non-AI segments (broadband) were soft, and guidance was "good, not great." Micron faces a similar dynamic: AI is red-hot, but P

$Broadcom(AVGO)$ expects AI revenue growth to accelerate even higher in 2026, and Broadcom CEO sees spending momentum by customers for AI to continue to accelerate in 2026, but why is Broadcom share price still not surging after earnings release? In this article we would like to discuss why Broadcom (AVGO) did not surge despite bullish AI commentary, what this signals about market expectations, and how investors can still position for advantage. 1. Why Broadcom’s Stock Did Not Surge After Earnings Even with strong AI commentary from management, several market dynamics generally cap post-earnings upside. (A) Expectations were already extremely high By late 2025, Broadcom is widely viewed as one of the “AI infrastructure oligopoly” players. Investor

With institutional bullish, Silver at all-time high, as of early December 2025, the Gold-to-Silver Ratio is around 68.5 to 75:1, now the ratio goes below $68, so a high ratio (above 80) suggests silver is undervalued; a low ratio (below 50) suggests gold is undervalued. In this article, I would like to share a structured, investment-grade assessment of the Gold–Silver environment and how to position across GLD and SLV given the ratio shift below ~68. 1. Interpretation of Today’s Gold–Silver Ratio (≈68 → breaking lower) Current signal: Above 80: silver historically undervalued. Below 50: gold historically undervalued. Between 60–75: transition region where momentum shifts matter more than absolute thresholds. Today (ratio slipping under ~68): Indicates relative strength in silver versus gol

$Adobe(ADBE)$ Q4 earnings and FY2026 guidance beat expectations, they also announced the integration of Photoshop, Adobe Express and Acrobat apps into ChatGPT, this integration looks like Adobe is going for a broader push of its tools into conversational AI platforms, so that this could help their users to reduce the need to switch between different applications. But we are seeing that investors are still concerned of the AI disruption that could bring to Adobe.

The decline in $Oracle(ORCL)$’s share price after its mixed fiscal Q2 results, despite an increase in its Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) and AI-driven cloud revenue, has indeed intensified the debate around a potential "AI bubble."

In this article, I would like to examine the breakdown of the key factors that lead investors to debate whether this signals cracks in the AI bubble: What Happened with Oracle’s Latest Results Mixed earnings with negative investor reaction Oracle beat earnings per share expectations, helped by a one-time gain from an asset sale, but narrowly missed revenue and cloud growth forecasts — a key metric tied to its AI strategy.

Before we jumped at the news of President Trump’s approval for Nvidia's H200 chips export to china, we might need to ask ourselves whether $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is benefitting from this approval, and what are some factors and uncertainities we need to be aware of. The headline “approval” helps remove one big permission roadblock, but the 25% surcharge + Beijing’s likely curbs create a large accounting & commercial uncertainty that can meaningfully dent Nvidia’s reported revenue and margins depending on who legally/contractually ends up paying that 25%. In this article, I would like to share how we can walk through the mechanics, 3 quantified scenarios (optimistic / base / bearish), accounting consequences, and the exact signals to watch. What the new

Are we going to see a strong stock market finish by end of December, and will this drive the continued rally into 2026 with strong momentum coming from tech stocks and bigger firms?

Profitability: The wide range in EPS forecasts ($0.12 vs. $0.30) suggests that investors should pay close atte

In this article I would like to share why I prefer to look at high-quality AI stocks in 2026, and here is a forward-looking analysis on why investors may favor high-quality tech names like $Alphabet(GOOGL)$, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Amazon (AMZN), $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Palantir (PLTR), $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Nvidia (NVDA), and

We saw Amazon (AMZN) showing a dip in recent trading while Nvidia seek to make an upside move, as I hold both $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Amazon.com(AMZN)$, I might consider to buy the dip at the same time, play option to take advantage of any potential upside. as the market often presents contrasting movements between major stocks like Amazon (AMZN) and Nvidia (NVDA).
