PARTIAL BUY

WATCH

Shares dropped 7.29% on reporting. It got punished for announcing spending of $75 billion in capex this year--punished for investing heavily in growth, which is a big change from last year. It ran up 25% since last September till the report, making it the third-best performer in the Mag 7. The quarter was mixed: slightly weaker revenue and surprisingly  weaker Cloud revenue, but EPS and YouTube revenue beat. Growth slowed, but core advertising is still doing great. And yet Microsoft is spending $80 billion in capex, and Meta $65 billion. What has changed is the arrival of DeepSeek, which has changed the narrative around AI spending: Do megatech companies still need to spend a lot on AI infrastructure? Is the reaction to GOOG an exception or the new norm?

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It sank 7.56% after reporting. Headwinds: robotaxi competition, Trump's close relationship with Musk/Tesla, and Uber's rideshare bookings missed in Q3-2024. Other numbers were solid: gross booking rose 18% YOY, revenue, cash flow growth and total trips all beat expectations. Their guidance for the quarter was in-line with expectations. But their Q4 GAAP operating income of $770 million badly missed the $1.19 billion estimate, but was hit by a $462 million hit from a one-time expense for legal, tax and regulatory changes. He feels that the robotaxi competition isn't that much of a threat. He won't give up on Uber.

BUY

He believes in the CEO. Trades at 4x PE. Ford's quarter disappointed and could hit GM shares.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported slightly higher than expected sales, but earnings missed and guidance for the quarter and full year came in light. Shares sank 5.7%. However, he expects a return to sale growth this year and it boasts a strong balance sheet.

BUY

Many are fleeing this because of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and this will be a target. But he disagrees. Rather, DOGE will go after the big military contractors.

BUY

Trump doesn't believe in global warming and believes in coal. So,this is a buy, even though Cramer believes in science.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's moved up because it's much more of a service provider stock than a lender now, but it needs to digest. Let shares come down first before stepping in.

BUY
