He always says buy this, don't trade it. They just delivered another set of stunning numbers: revenue growing 85% year over year, revenue beating with most of their growth coming from their core data centre business, hyperscaler revenues up 115% YOY while other areas grew 74% YOY, while gross margins were in line, free cash flow beat, and announced an $80 billion share buyback. They raised guidance, too. But the stock is so big, it's hard to surprised investors, so the stock is flat after hours.
It's been a brutal year for software companies. INTU is -50% from last summer's high, but their customers are sticky (consumers, small/medium) businesses, which immunizes them from AI displacement worries. Businesses can't afford to use AI to write their own software. INTU reported a top and bottom line beat and raised full-year guidance. Also, they will lay off 17% of its staff to lower costs, which the street viewed this as weakness, not strength. He totally disagrees with the sellers.
Since the current CEO took over a year ago, shares have rallied 321% and has given earnings surprises. This is one of the greatest turnarounds he's ever seen. Their high-end CPUs are essential to data centres. In a time of chop shortages, Intel has been building its US capacity. Their latest quarter was super, and they can't keep up with demand.
They reported a terrific quarter, so he doesn't understand why shares fell 3%. Their outlook was in-line and they delivered strong earnings. This could be a fantastic buying opportunity.
