SpaceX's Q2 Debut Under Scrutiny as Lockup Looms and Capex Soars

SpaceX, now a public company, is set to report Q2 results amid stock pressure and a looming insider lockup that could release up to 20% of shares. Market expectations call for about $6.81 billion in Q2 revenue with an adjusted loss of $0.24 per share and roughly $2 billion in EBITDA. Investors will focus on capital expenditures, projected to rise toward $118 billion by 2028, and the implications for debt (potentially over $218 billion by 2028). Growth drivers like Starlink and Starship remain central to the outlook, even as the stock has fallen ~30% since its debut.

IBM's Q2 Preview: AI Push and Pipeline in the Spotlight

IBM is set to report Q2 results after the close, with investors watching whether delayed enterprise deals shift into Q3 and whether the company can maintain more than 5% constant-currency revenue growth and about $1 billion in annual free cash flow improvement. Analysts expect management to address the Q2 revenue miss (about $17.2B) and adjusted EPS near $2.93, caused by softer software growth, weaker infrastructure revenue, and flat consulting, while updates on AI initiatives (Red Hat and watsonx) and deal pipelines will be key on the call. Options traders imply roughly a 7% move after the earnings release.

Micron Q3 Preview: AI Fueling Higher Revenue and Margin Expectations

Micron Technology is set to report fiscal Q3 results on June 24, with analysts eyeing about $35.4 billion in revenue and roughly $20.40 per share, up from prior guidance of around $33.5 billion and $19.15. The Street remains bullish as AI infrastructure demand drives high-bandwidth memory (HBM) shipments and pricing, supported by expectations of an ~81% gross margin. Investors will scrutinize whether Micron’s guidance for fiscal 2027 sustains growth amid tight memory supply across DRAM and NAND.

Meta’s Q1 Preview: Hold Maintained as AI Push Faces a Massive Capex Burden

Benchmark analyst Mark Zgutowicz reiterates a Hold on Meta ahead of its Q1 results, noting solid execution but signaling a reset in long‑term spending as Meta trims costs (10% headcount reduction and 6,000 roles) and faces more than $750 billion in CapEx over the next five years. Meta’s AI-driven ad engine Advantage+ is contributing about $60 billion in annualized ad revenue (roughly 30% of total ad revenue), yet investors will want clarity on how these investments translate to long‑term growth and margins. Despite the spend, Wall Street shows a Strong Buy consensus with a target around $854.46 per share, implying roughly 27% upside.

Micron’s AI Memory Boom Sets Up High-Growth Q2 Preview

Micron Technology is expected to report a Q2 with revenue growth around 138% and EPS growth above 450%, driven by AI-driven memory demand and firmer DRAM pricing. A potential beat seems likely, but the Q3 guidance and industry cyclicality pose risks, and at ~11x earnings the stock may require a clearer growth slowdown or entry point before investors commit.

Salesforce Q4 Earnings Looms: Options Traders Bet on Roughly a 9.6% Move

CRM is set to report Q4 after hours on Feb 26; current options price in an about 9.6% post-earnings move as investors weigh AI monetization, margins, and cloud spend. Analysts expect around $11.19B in revenue and $3.05 per share, with guidance of $11.13–$11.23B revenue and $3.02–$3.04 EPS. A strong beat could boost Salesforce’s AI roadmap momentum, while softer guidance could spark volatility. Street consensus remains a Moderate Buy with roughly 60% upside to about $299.

Lucid Braces for Q4 Earnings as Traders See a Double-Digit Post-Report Swing

Lucid Group (LCID) is due to report Q4 2025 results on Feb. 24. Options traders are pricing in roughly a 14.9% move in LCID shares after earnings, above Lucid’s four-quarter average post-earnings move. Wall Street’s consensus is a Moderate Sell among three analysts, with an average target of $12.67 implying about 30% upside from current levels. The quarterly forecast calls for a loss of about $2.67 per share on revenue around $459.5 million (up ~96% year over year). Lucid has struggled to consistently meet estimates and profitability is not expected until 2026–2027 as production scales and costs come down, with margins and cash burn likely to be key focus areas in the update.

Analysts are mixed, with a Hold consensus and an average target near $44, while options imply about a 12% post-earnings move.
