AMD braces for Q2 results as AI-driven chip rally cools

AMD is set to report its Q2 earnings after the bell as chip stocks remain choppy after a brisk AI-driven rally. Analysts expect EPS of $1.62 on revenue of about $11.3 billion, with data-center sales seen to grow over 100% to roughly $6.5 billion, client revenue around $3 billion, and gaming about $781 million (down ~30%). AMD recently unveiled the Helios rack-scale AI data-center system (72 MI455X GPUs plus Instinct CPUs) to compete with Nvidia, which currently dominates AI chips with up to ~90% market share. The PC market softness due to memory price pressures also weighs on the sector, even as AMD has surged about 194% over the last year.

Ford lifts full-year targets after strong Q2 beat

PayPal stock climbs as CEO keeps door open to strategic deals

PayPal's stock rose over 4% after CEO Enrique Lores reaffirmed the company’s focus on a multiyear turnaround while signaling openness to strategic opportunities that could create value. Earlier this month Reuters reported Stripe and Advent had offered about $60 per share for PayPal, fueling optimism. The company beat expectations in Q2 with diluted EPS of $1.38 and payments volume up 10% to $486.4 billion, and it raised its full-year adjusted earnings outlook. PayPal has reorganized into three units to rebuild its consumer business and expand beyond Venmo, with management forecasting momentum in the second half of next year. Some analysts worry the turnaround may be lengthy and costly, though others view the takeover chatter as a potential upside.”,

Edsel Echoes as Cybertruck Falls Short, Tesla Shares Slide

Tesla’s Cybertruck, once projected to reach 250,000 units annually, delivered far less than that target (roughly one‑sixth of the projection with about 38,965 units in 2024 and 20,237 in 2025; 2026 deliveries remain weak). Q2 earnings missed estimates (EPS $0.33 vs ~$0.54–$0.54), and free cash flow swung negative to about $1.09B, contributing to a roughly 18% stock drop in a week and an 11‑month low. Despite overall vehicle deliveries reaching a record, the Cybertruck’s poor performance has reignited Edsel‑style flop comparisons as investors reassess its role in Tesla’s growth story.

Tesla's July Rout Wipes Out $214B After Mixed Q2 Results

Tesla posted a 25% YoY increase in Q2 deliveries and topped $100B in trailing revenue, with revenue of $28.24B and EPS of $0.33 (miss vs. 0.51 expected), while signaling large capex and AI investments amid supply-chain bottlenecks and Optimus robot scaling, triggering a sharp selloff that erased about $214B in market value and sending TSLA down roughly 14.5% after earnings; analysts have mixed price targets as the company doubles down on its AI/robotics pivot.

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.
