AMZN has recovered a lot, but INTC is still this bad🔥

If you're holding a sizable position, figure out how much drawdown you can stomach before deciding whether to add more.

Rather than fixating on EPS alone, dig into the guidance and gross margin trends in the financial statements—next quarter's outlook often carries more signal than the numbers already reported.

EPS beat expectations, yet the stock isn't moving. The market may be focused on the pace of investment in the data center and foundry businesses—these outlays weigh on near-term profit, while the returns won't be visible for several quarters.

Which EPS beat are you referring to—GAAP or non-GAAP?

Looking at a single quarter's EPS on its own isn't very convincing—I think it makes more sense to compare management guidance against what the market expects for the next quarter.

Better-than-expected EPS and a weak stock price aren't necessarily contradictory—it depends on whether the beat was driven by one-off gains or a low base, and whether revenue and cash flow improved in tandem. If the numbers only look good because of cost cuts, the market may worry that future growth will be sluggish; looked at from that angle, it makes sense.

The valuation recovery hinges on earnings quality, not on a single quarter's numbers.
