Up 13%- You Can Always Count on Big Tech

Another story of Big Tech driving the broader market. We just saw this story on Tuesday.

On 26th July, 

$Wal-Mart(WMT)$ lowered its guidance and the broader market fell.

After the bell $Microsoft(MSFT)$ and $Alphabet(GOOG)$ released earnings that slightly missed expectations but reassured investors and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ jumped 4%.

Nasdaq jumped 4%

Yesterday, 

2Q GDP data was released at -0.9% YoY, below expectations of +0.5%. Stocks began to fall, with Chinese stocks falling more. As of close, most companies closed slightly higher.

After the bell, $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ released their earnings, Amazon jumped 13% and its price has surpassed the previous high of $125.

Why did big tech rise although they missed expectations?

1) Market sentiment has improved since last week's 3-day winning streak.

2) The market has priced in expectations that it may miss, and the valuation has fallen before due to the decline, big tech has no more room to fall.

3) Stable revenue and business.

But small companies still have room to fall:

For example, $Teladoc Health Inc.(TDOC)$ plunged 17%.

1) Under the background of economic headwinds, many companies have not achieved stable profits. Their earnings may disappoint the market

2) Valuation is too high, the share price may fall further

Bottom Line

Data from tradingview

Big tech such as $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Alphabet(GOOG)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ all delivered a "not bad earnings" in this earnings season.

In the economic headwinds, we can always count on big tech!

Do you think big tech is your first pick?

    Yes but at the right price. It doesn’t mean I will buy only when the price is drop. But when the price is lower than the company value. Must analyze first before buying. But it always on my wishlist

    Buying at right valuation is key. Buying overpriced even if excellent companies doesnt necessarily lead to happy ending…

    Yes, big tech will be my first pick as I personally like tech companies [Grin].

    Also, big tech will rebounce the most after a bear 🐻 market [Doubt]?
    At least that's what I heard [Grin].

    I would say market leaders with consistent track record of growth and profits are my first pick provided they are at reasonable valuation.

    Big tech is the best
    Better than all the rest
    Small tech can be multi-bagger
    But Big tech is always more stable
    Buy low, sell high is the game
    If you buy undervalued, it's all the same 😄

    有些人喜欢大技术,有些人喜欢小秋千。这取决于你的贸易偏好和策略。对于那些长期持有的人来说,大科技肯定更有吸引力。

    Big Tech can be quite scary, because in a bear market they also lose the most 😅 So it depends on whether your heart can take their volatility

    Yes, selective big techs, such as $Microsoft(MSFT)$ with product/services that are relatively price inelastic or recession-proof. Digitalisation is the future, and tech companies will benefit most

    Yes, I'm buying the big tech only! But I'm buying $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ which consists of big techs like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet etc

    Big Tech is more stable and with strong cashflow, it can withstand market pressure better.  Less Risky for long term investors.

    目前似乎有一种从价值股到成长股的轮替,尤其是像苹果、亚马逊和微软这样的大型科技股。像这三只股票这样的大科技股从根本上来说非常强劲。它们是盈利的,拥有非常强大的资产负债表和自由现金流,能够承受市场的波动。

    然而,我认为这不是市场底部,而是熊市反弹。展望未来,这在很大程度上取决于通胀不会继续上升的信号、强劲的经济数据和美联储对利率的行动。

    尽管如此,我还是看好苹果、微软和亚马逊,因为它们在动荡时期具有弹性。事实上,它们可以被视为防御性股票,因为它们有强大的护城河和优秀的管理。他们在我的定罪名单上,因为我的时间跨度至少是10到20年。重要的是市场中的时间,而不是市场的时机。

      在困难时期,企业需要找到更具成本效益的解决方案,而这些大型科技公司往往能够帮助他们,因此他们的收入保持相对弹性。

    Yes for me. though the risk is there but i think it is calculative risk so long it ia great business. .if recession n market crash, select big tech will be more defensive n recover faster than others.

    While value stocks form the core of my portfolio for incomes, big tech are essential components in my portfolio to drive capital growth over the long run. These are the twin engines for my investments

    Big tech is definitely my 1st choice due to their strong fundaments. I have bought Amazon after their stock split which is at a more affordable price. Still waiting to buy APPL & MSFT at lower price.
