📊 Mid-Week Market & Portfolio Update – Aug 20, 2025 1️⃣ $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) Earnings (Aug 27) Nvidia has become the barometer of AI demand. Analysts expect another record quarter, but the U.S.–China chip revenue agreement and rising competition (AMD, Intel) add new complexity. If NVDA surprises to the upside again, it could lift the whole AI ecosystem — if not, volatility may spread across tech. 2️⃣ $BTC (Bitcoin at $113K) After peaking near $124K in July, BTC is consolidating around $113K. This pullback is healthy in the context of a long-term uptrend. Institutional inflows remain strong, with pension funds and ETFs adding exposure. A stable base here could set the stage for the next leg higher. 3️⃣ Big Tech Resilience $GOOG (Alphabet) Q2 revenue $96.4B (+14% YoY), Cloud +32% $AMZN (Amazon.com Inc) Q2 sales $167.7B (+13% YoY), AWS +17.5% $META (Meta Platforms Inc) Q2 revenue $47.5B (+22% YoY), EPS $7.14 Together, these results show that ads, cloud, and platforms remain growth engines despite macro uncertainty. The “Magnificent 7” delivered 26% EPS growth YoY last quarter — far outpacing the broader S&P 500. 💼 My Stance Long-term, conviction-driven portfolio (AI, cloud, crypto). Risk Score 5, no leverage, no shorting. (aiming for 4) Monitoring NVDA earnings as a key driver for sector sentiment. Using BTC consolidation as a reminder: growth takes patience.
