Buzzing Stocks List & Mooers Comments
US equity markets bounced back on Friday as the latest jobs report suggested the labor market remained strong, despite the Fed's recent rate hikes. However, concerns about the banking sector following the collapse of First Republic Bank earlier in the week limited gains and led to slight losses for the week. The Dow and Nasdaq finished flat for the week, while the S&P 500 was down 1.2%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed ten basis points on Friday to 3.43%. Crude oil prices, which had fallen earlier in the week due to concerns over demand after rate hikes by the Fed and the ECB, recovered some losses on Friday. WTI crude prices dropped roughly 7% weekly to $71 per barrel. (As of May 8, 2023)

102392341 : For me, my preference would be Apple which has posted a stronger than expected revenue and profit .
Milk The Cow : I think will be $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$. Never expect it to be able to continue make positive profits although it seem like it has already reached its' growth limits...
+
?!
Same for $Apple (AAPL.US)$ , is also a surprise as it can maintain a normal earning profit although the revenue seem to drop. Also heard that their iPhone is selling very well
Actually, I think growth is kinda slow for a strong US economy by data.
Milk The Cow :
缘起 102392341: Right, I have a soft spot for Apple and Tesla, these two technology stocks. Are you currently operating long-term or short-term?
Chomel : I would make a vote for $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ for beating estimates on quarterly guidance and surpassed my expectations.
Azure and it’s cloud services infrastructure, continue to expand and grew by 27% compared to the past quarter.
Productivity and business portion which includes Dynamics, LinkedIn and Office posted 11% growth in revenue. This has also resulted in 14% more revenue from productivity software subscription for commercial Office 365.
Teams communication app had over 300 million monthly active users in the quarter, compare to 280 million in the previous quarter.
Investment on AI capabilities which would increase its Bing search engine functions as well as enhancement to the Microsoft 365 productivity software.
Despite a decline on Personal Computer segment, such as Bing, active users are still growing and revenue from gaming subscriptions could break $1 billion mark. Sales of PC does looks encouraging and somewhat better than consensus and market perspective.
Overall, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ respectable set of strong earnings and having an outlook which seems to have regain a foothold among other tech industries as well as position itself as the leader of its own in the field of the growing AI ecosystem.
Landlordb1 : $Marathon Digital (MARA.US)$
