Dear Copiers,
Several major companies within our portfolio reported earnings last week. Below is a summary of the key results and market reactions.
$TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) reported earnings per share above expectations, while revenue declined approximately 3% year over year, though still slightly ahead of Wall Street estimates. Quarterly net income fell significantly, down 61% to $840 million, and vehicle deliveries decreased roughly 16% compared to last year.
Despite these declines, the market reacted positively to the EPS beat, and the stock rose in multiple trading sessions. Increased competition from Chinese manufacturers such as BYD has contributed to Tesla’s reduced market share and revenue pressure. While this is a concern, it is not the primary reason I invest in Tesla. My investment thesis is centered on Tesla’s long-term potential beyond automotive manufacturing, particularly in artificial intelligence and robotics infrastructure, where I believe significant growth opportunities remain.
$MSFT (Microsoft) delivered strong results, with both revenue and earnings per share exceeding expectations. Azure and other cloud services grew between 29% and 39%, and Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $51.5 billion, contributing to total quarterly revenue of $81.3 billion, up 17% year over year. This demonstrates that cloud computing, led by Azure, remains Microsoft’s primary growth engine.
The company also reported a sharp increase in capital expenditures due to continued investment in cloud and AI infrastructure. It is common to see short-term market pullbacks when companies reinvest heavily in their businesses, even when those investments support long-term strategic growth — as is the case with Microsoft.
$META (Meta Platforms Inc) Platforms reported strong earnings, with revenue of $59.9 billion versus expectations of $58.5 billion. The company also issued bullish forward guidance of $53.5–$56.5 billion, well above the consensus estimate of approximately $51.4 billion. This led to a stock price increase of roughly 9–10% following the announcement.
$META continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure and its Meta Superintelligence Labs, with projected capital expenditures between $115 billion and $135 billion. Unlike Microsoft, Meta’s increased spending was met with a positive market response, reflecting investor confidence in Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership and the company’s AI-focused direction. Notably, Meta is reallocating resources away from metaverse hardware (Reality Labs) and toward AI-centric development — a strategic shift that appears to be well received by investors.
$AAPL (Apple) reported its strongest iPhone quarterly sales in the past four years, driven by high demand for its latest models. Supply constraints and strong consumer interest were evident, including wait times on Apple’s website and widespread positive reactions on social media.
Apple posted record quarterly revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16% year over year and above consensus expectations. Earnings per share also exceeded forecasts at $2.84, up 19% year over year. The company continues to experience strong growth in China, the Americas, and Europe, and reported an installed base of 2.5 billion active devices globally. Apple also projects continued mid-teens revenue growth next quarter. Given this strong performance, I remain confident in maintaining our Apple position.
Sincerely,

Liebe Lena, Vielen Dank für die Ausführungen. Ich möchte gerne mein Portfolio weg vom Dollar nehmen und in eine andere Währung geben. Was kannst du mir empfehlen? Ich bin jetzt auch ein paar Jahre schon bei dir - ich glaube, der Dollar wird sie nicht mehr erholen und kennt nur eine Richtung. Vielen... Show More Translate
So pleased to see a massive decline in Tesla car sales. The people of Europe have now worked out that Tesla has been turned into such a toxic brand due to the actions and activities of its owner that possessing one of these cars is unacceptable to progressive civilised people.... Show More
