US tech stocks tumbled in after-hours trading after some of the industryâs biggest companies reported disappointing results, roiling wagers that this yearâs $5.5 trillion selloff had reached bottom. The quarterly updates from Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. underscored growing pressure on everything from corporate IT budgets to digital ad spending and chips for industrial machinery. Nasdaq 100 Index futures lost as much as 2.4%, reversing an earlier rally on Tuesday, as the results refocused investor attention on the damage to earnings and the economy from the Federal Reserveâs rapid interest-rate hikes.
The selloff in extended to other consumer and tech giants, with Amazon.com Inc. dropping 4.9% in late trading. Those that derive sales from online advertising followed Alphabet lower, with Meta Platforms Inc. and Pinterest Inc. dropping more than 4% each. Among software companies moving in the wake of Microsoft, Datadog Inc. tumbled 7%, Snowflake Inc. fell 5% and Salesforce Inc. dropped 3%. The Nasdaq 100 Index has plunged more than 28% this year, on course for its worst annual performance since 2008.
(US.META) (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) (US.AMZN) (DE.MSFT)
Revenue growth slowed to 6% from 41% a year earlier as the company contends with a continued downdraft in online ad spending. Other than one period early in the pandemic, itâs the weakest period for growth since 2013.
YouTube ad revenue slid about 2% to $7.07 billion from $7.21 billion a year ago. Analysts were expecting an increase of about 3%. Alphabet reported overall advertising revenue of $54.48 billion during the quarter, up slightly from the prior year. Alphabetâs stock fell below $97 after hours. Its lowest close for the year was $95.65 on Sept. 30. 
Prior to the after-hours drop, Alphabet shares are down 28% over the past year, slightly underperforming the Nasdaq. Meta shares fell 4% in extended trading on Tuesday after rallying 6% during the day.

Shares of Snap Inc (US.SNAP) sank about 25% before the bell on Friday, after the owner of photo messaging app Snapchat forecast zero revenue growth for the current quarter, triggering a slide in other social media stocks dependent on advertising revenue. YouTube-parent Alphabet Inc (US.GOOG), Facebook-parent Meta Platform Inc (US.META), Pinterest Inc and Twitter Inc (US.TWTR) all slid between 1.7% and 9.2% in premarket trade. 
The company had said in August it would lay off 20% of its employees and discontinue projects such as gaming and a flying camera drone to cut costs and brace for a deteriorating economy.

Duopolul Google-Facebook pe piaÅ£a publicitÄÅ£ii online s-ar putea destrÄma. Potrivit unui studiu publicat marÅ£i de Appsumer, Apple câÅtigÄ teren în domeniul reclamelor digitale, în timp ce Google Åi Facebook par sÄ piardÄ din atractivitate. 
Cercetarea, bazatÄ pe o analizÄ a bugetelor publicitÄÅ£ii online a peste 100 de companii de aplicaÅ£ii pentru consumatori, a constatat cÄ afacerea cu publicitate a Apple a beneficiat de actualizarea majorÄ a confidenÅ£ialitÄÅ£ii iOS a companiei, în 2021, ceea ce a fÄcut mai dificil pentru companii precum Facebook sÄ urmÄreascÄ activitatea utilizatorilor pe internet.

Google (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) va lansa pe 6 octombrie smartphone-ul Pixel 7 Åi primul sÄu smartwatch, Pixel Watch, compania urmând sÄ concureze cu o nouÄ linie de produse rivale de la Apple.
Noile dispozitive Google vor fi disponibile pentru cumpÄrare începând cu ziua lansÄrii pe GoogleStore.com Åi în magazinele sale fizice din zona New York City. Telefoanele Pixel 7 vor rula pe Android 13 Åi vor avea cea mai recentÄ iteraÅ£ie a cipului mobil personalizat al Google, numit Tensor.  Google a oferit o prezentare a smartphone-urilor Pixel 7 Åi a Pixel Watch în timpul evenimentului sÄu I/O din luna mai.
The digital ads industry has been on edge about Appleâs advertising ambitions since it launched privacy rules last year that disrupted the $400bn digital ads market, making it difficult to tailor ads to Appleâs 1bn-plus iPhone users. 
Meanwhile, Appleâs once-fledgling ads business is now âincredibly fast-growingâ, according to a job ad. The business has gone from just a few hundred million dollars of revenue in the late 2010s to about $5bn this year, according to research group Evercore ISI, which expects Apple to have a $30bn ads business within four years. 
Compared with Google (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) and Facebook (US.META), whose 2021 advertising revenues were $209bn and $115bn, respectively, Appleâs ads business is tiny. But the digital ad industryâs fear is that it could expand quickly, in part by setting rules that critics and rivals say give it an unfair advantage.

Printre pozitiile lichidate de Scion Asset Management s-au numarat cele de la Alphabet Inc., compania-mama a Google (US.GOOGL) (US.GOOG), si Meta (US.META), in timp ce fondul lui Burry a cumparat actiuni la Ceo Group Inc., un operator de inchisori private din Statele Unite.
Miliardarul a cumparat in mod masiv actiuni Amazon (US.AMZN) si si-a consolidat pozitia la Alphabet (US.GOOGL) (US.GOOG) in mijlocul unei crize de piata in al doilea trimestru. La 30 iunie, firma sa Soros Fund Management detinea 2.004.500 de actiuni Amazon in valoare de aproximativ 213 mil. USD, comparativ cu 70.717 actiuni Amazon la 31 martie. In plus, Soros si-a sporit si miza in Salesforce (US.CRM), Qualcomm (US.QCOM\).
Amazon (US.AMZN) si Microsoft (US.MSFT) au reprezentat mai mult de jumatate din veniturile din infrastructura cloud in cele trei luni incheiate la 30 iunie, cei mai mari opt furnizori controland peste 80% din piata. Astfel, pe masura ce cheltuielile pentru serviciile cloud continua sa creasca inexorabil, cota de piata mondiala a Amazon a crescut cu peste un punct procentual, ajungand la aproape 34%. Google (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) a inregistrat, de asemenea, o crestere semnificativa a cotei sale de piata in timpul trimestrului. Amazon, Microsoft si Google au avut impreuna o cota de 65% din piata mondiala in acest trimestru, fata de 61% in urma cu un an. In total, toti ceilalti furnizori de cloud computing si-au crescut veniturile cu peste 150% de la inceputul anului 2018, desi cota de piata colectiva a acestora a scazut de la 49% la 35%, deoarece ratele lor de crestere raman mult sub liderii de piata.
La Microsoft, vanzarile au avut o crestere anuala de 12%, cea mai lenta din ultimii doi ani. La Alphabet, veniturile totale au aratat o crestere anuala de 13%, si-n acest caz cea mai modesta din ultimii doi ani. Afla din TradeTalk daca estimarile analistilor s-au concluzionat.

In cazul Alphabet, cresterea veniturilor a incetinit la 13% in trimestrul al doilea, de la 62% cu un an mai devreme, cand compania beneficia de redeschiderea post-pandemie, iar cheltuielile consumatorilor erau in crestere. In plus, fluctuatiile valutare date de intarirea dolarului au redus cu 3.7% cresterea veniturilor. 
Veniturile din publicitate au crescut cu doar 12% pe masura ce agentii de marketing si-au strans cheltuielile pentru a gestiona presiunile inflationiste. Cea mai notabila decelerare a fost in divizia YouTube, unde vanzarile au crescut cu 5% dupa ce au avansat cu 84% in aceeasi perioada a anului trecut. Pe langa scaderea generala a cheltuielilor publicitare, YouTube se confrunta si cu o concurenta sporita din partea TikTok in videoclipurile scurte. 
Alte activitati al Alphabet, care include divizia de masini autonome Waymo, precum si unele proiecte de tehnologie a sanatatii si activitati de risc ale companiei, au crescut cu 1 mil. USD y/y, pana la 193 mil. USD.
Microsoft a inregistrat cea mai lenta crestere a veniturilor din 2020, cu 12% y/y, in trimestrul care s-a incheiat pe 30 iunie, in timp ce profitul net a crescut cu 2%.
Cea mai mare provocare in ultimul trimestru fiscal a provenit din inrautatirea cursului de schimb valutar. Microsoft a spus ca acest impact a redus veniturile cu 595 de mil. USD si profitul cu 4 centi/actiune.

Google has offered to split parts of its ad-tech business into a separate company under its parent company Alphabet to ward off a second expected antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Such a concession would keep the ad business under the Alphabet umbrella but still represent a significant change in the digital advertising landscape, in which Google is a massive player on both sides of the market. 
While most commonly known for its search engine, Googleâs main business is online advertising. Alphabet reported $257 billion in revenue for 2021. Google has been the market leader in online advertising for well more than a decade. 
Over the years, it has built and acquired a slew of ad-tech tools that enable content publishers to make money through advertising and let ad buyers seek out the audience they want on Google Search, YouTube, Maps and other websites across the internet. A new lawsuit would add to the already enormous legal challenges Google faces over its alleged dominance across multiple businesses. 
The DOJ filed its long-expected antitrust lawsuit against Google in 2020, marking the first time a serious antitrust charge had been brought against Google on the federal level in its home country.

  A leader of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said he has asked Apple (US.AAPL) and Google (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) to remove TikTok from their app stores over China-related data security concerns. The wildly popular short video app is owned by Chinese company ByteDance. 
  On June 17, the same day as the BuzzFeed report, TikTok announced it was routing all of U.S. user traffic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and was moving U.S. usersâ private data from its own data centers in the U.S. and Singapore to Oracle cloud servers in the U.S.

Morgan Stanley has highlighted some stocks it believes are equipped to weather this type of storm. The bankâs strategists sifted through the Russell 1000 Index â excluding financials, real estate and utilities â for companies with strong balance sheets. The criteria used for the screen are: Cash as a percentage of enterprise value greater than 3% Free cash flow growth greater than 5% expected by analysts in each of the next two years Expected return on invested capital in each of the next two years years more than 10% Asset/Liability Multiple more than 1 Debt Ratio less than 2.5 This screen only includes stocks that have investment grade credit ratings and excludes names with negative equity. 
Check out 10 names that made the list: Micron (US.MU) made the list from Morgan Stanley, with cash as a percentage of company value at 12.2%. The chipmakerâs free cash flow is also expected to more than double next year and grow nearly 52% the following year. Shares of the company have struggled this year, falling about 40% during that time. However, UBS (US.USB) reiterated it last week as a top pick, noting that company- and industry-specific factors should support its margins. âAmid macro concerns, we believe investors continue to overlook several key factors,â analyst Tim Arcuri wrote. âAlthough weakness in the PC/smartphone end market weighs somewhat on ASP DRAMs in the near term, we expect very strong price support heading into C2023 as industry growth in the supply of bits should compress significantly.â United Therapeutics (US.UTHR) tops Morgan Stanleyâs list, with cash as a percentage of company value at 24.9%. Analysts also expect double-digit growth in free cash flow over the next two years and project a return on investment of 14.3% and 13.5% over those years. Shares of the biotech company outperformed the market in 2022, posting a slight gain during that time. The stock is also up 20% over the past 12 months. Shoemaker Skechers (US.SKX) also made the cut, with 8.5% cash as a percentage of company value. The companyâs free cash flow is expected to increase by just 7.1% next year, but it is expected to jump 72.5% the following year. The stock is down around 16% in 2022, outperforming the S& P 500. Argus Research upgraded it to buy pending last week, noting that âsupply chain initiatives and brand strong company are expected to grow revenues and profits over the next two years.â Alphabet, Googleâs (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) parent company, is also on the list, with cash representing a percentage of company value of 7.2%. The companyâs free cash flow is also expected to increase by 13.4% and 17.7% in each of the next two years.

A bipartisan group of senators led by Utah Republican Mike Lee introduced legislation Thursday that would take aim at conflicts of interest in the advertising technology industry and force Google to break up its dominant online-ad business. 
In effect, the legislation would likely require Google to divest significant portions of the digital advertising business it built following its 2008 acquisition of DoubleClick Inc., Mr. Lee said. âItâs just a massive, massive business theyâve got going,â he said. Googleâs ânetworkâ business, which includes tools used by third parties to buy and sell ads, generated $31.7 billion in revenue in 2021. 
The bill would also require smaller companiesâthose that process more than $5 billion in digital ad transactions annuallyâto follow new rules, including that they act in the best interests of their customers on every transaction and provide transparency about ad pricing.
In a tweet to Martin Viecha, Teslaâs senior director of investor relations, Koguan said the company should immediately announce that it plans to buy back $5 billion of Tesla shares this year and $10 billion next year.

Buybacks climbed to a record high of $850 billion in 2021. During the year, Apple (US.AAPL) repurchased more of its own stock than any other public company, followed by Alphabet and then Meta (US.FB). Alphabet (US.GOOG) (US.GOOGL) announced another $70 billion buyback last month.

Last week, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said the first quarter was âchallengingâ for the YouTube competitor, and the company provided a weak sales forecast for the second quarter.
