Tech stocks face supply and cash burn headwinds
Tech trade faces headwinds from hyperscalers burning through cash flow, massive equity supply with net equity issuance for the first time since 2000, buybacks and mergers not offsetting, which will weigh on tech stocks.
Microsoft Azure re-accelerating strongly
Microsoft Azure revenue growth re-accelerated to 43% year-over-year, beating expectations and guiding for 45% next quarter, demonstrating strong cloud momentum and competitive positioning, dispelling doubts about losing mojo. Accounting change for capex does not alter actual spending plans.
Overweight Europe and Japan equities
Broadening trade not over, global earnings recovery broad-based, Europe and Japan equities at all-time highs and still attractive, not yet time to rotate back into tech/semis; overweight Europe and Japan.
Refined product margins massive
Refining system extremely tight with refiners at 96% utilization, product margins massive (gasoline $140/bbl vs Brent $90), gasoline inventories at bottom of range, real oil crisis is in refined products not crude.
WTI crude bullish post-SPR draw
SPR drawdown ending around September will massively change WTI market dynamics, making crude very bullish as a turning point for U.S. oil.
META still has significant upside
META's AI spending strategy makes sense given profitable distribution through applications, though near-term free cash flow negative and capex high; stock still has significant upside, price target lowered but long-term bullish.
Apple shares getting riskier
Apple's stock rally driven by lack of AI capex (safety trade) rather than fundamentals; iPhone upgrade cycle may not sustain, China growth a large contributor but could fade, component price increases may pressure margins or unit demand, making shares riskier.
