Nov 08, 2018 - Spotlight Top Pick Roku beat earnings estimates for revenue, EPS, active accounts, gross margins, and raised estimates for revenue and gross margin, but guided down for EPS and missed average revenue per user, slightly. That meant a slight miss in platform revenue.
Nov 07, 2018 - Invitae beat revenue and EPS estimates, raised guidance and has secured a large debt financing making cash burn less of a risk.
Nov 07, 2018 - Roku beat revenue and EPS estimates, raised revenue guidance but fell short on EPS guidance and a little short on average revenue per user.
Nov 05, 2018 - Spotlight Top Pick Arista Networks beat earnings estimates for revenue and EPS, reported accelerating revenue growth, and raised guidance. Further, CEO Jayshree Ullal said quite plainly in our interview with respect to fresh demand for the 400-gigabyte per second networking and how it will look relative to the 100-gig surge that created this marvel, "we expect the equivalent surge to happen -- we expect a lot of activity sooner, maybe in 2019 -- but the real surge to happen in 2020 and beyond."
Nov 03, 2018 - If you really care about technology and the stocks you have invested in -- it's not the normal financial media you're after -- it's the executives of the companies that have been hand selected as the future crown jewels of the pace. We have identified Lam Research as one of those crown jewels, and today we present commentary from the CFO.
Nov 01, 2018 - Apple just reported earnings and this is exactly how the numbers and commentary read, and how they compare to what was expected.
Oct 29, 2018 - Apple has earnings due out on 11-1-2018, after the market closes. As this tech marvel has evolved, it is finally in a state where the market is looking at more than one number – more than one product – more than one item.
Oct 23, 2018 - Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has seen its stock rip from about $2 to now into the mid-twenties. The company has gone from forever irrelevant to now pulling ahead of tech giant Intel in the race to the 7nm CPU.

In fact, AMD has beaten Intel already, and the question now is, how much time does it have in the lead, will it retain that lead for the next generation, and if so, will large companies really start using AMD CPUs as the defacto chip?
Oct 23, 2018 - Tesla reports earnings Wednesday, 10-24-2018, after the market closes. The company pushed the date up a week and the market has taken that as anticipation of good results.

Adding fuel to the burning bull-bear fire, Andrew Left of Citron Research, the famed Tesla bear and plaintiff in the lawsuit against Elon Musk for manipulating the stock price to harm shorts, has now turned bullish.

But there's more to this report and this company. One phenomenon that has been little reported is that Wall Street's consensus analyst estimate for next quarter is in fact a positive earnings per share (EPS) number. The estimate is for $0.79 per share, in fact.

Oh, but there’s more discord. For the current quarter, which we will see below, the range of estimates from the nearly 20 analysts that cover it, go from a quarterly loss of $1.75 a share to a quarterly profit of $0.88. So, while the mean estimate comes in at -$0.07, this company remains an enigma to Wall Street â€
Oct 23, 2018 - Spotlight Top Pick Illumina (ILMN) reported earnings after the bell, and it was a beat and a raise across the board.

We added Illumina to Top Picks on 6-Apr-16 for $168.36. The stock is trading at $313.80, up 86.4% as of this writing.
Oct 23, 2018 - Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) has been decimated by the reality that the PC market is shrinking, and while is has made a wonderful move to the Cloud to recapture that lost revenue, now fears surround its ability to deliver the goods with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on its heels.

The fear hit a fever pitch just a few month ago when reports came out that Intel was finding its 10nm process node shrink neither easy nor cheap. But now the narrative is gently changing -- we said gently. Perhaps Intel isn't going to be as far behind as expected in the 7nm market, and perhaps buyers will have more patience.

This earnings release will focus on the numbers, as they always do, but the guidance will be the focus. Intel must answer questions about its lag in the 7nm market and when it will be back, if ever, as the technology leader in the space.

Some questions will persist around its GPU product, but for now, that market is so utterly dominated by Nvidia, it's likely a non starter,
Oct 22, 2018 - Twilio Inc (NYSE:TWLO) has earnings due out 2018-11-06, after the market closes. As always, the results relative to analyst estimates as well as guidance will drive the stock.

We do note how tight the range is for revenue and EPS estimates, meaning either Wall Street has this name figured out, or this is room for a surprise. We'll see below that the difference between the average current estimate for revenue and the highest estimate is just $1.7 million different on a $150+ million piece of data. The same goes for EPS estimates -- very tight which means a very accurate Wall Street or room for a surprise.

Ultimately those who know the stock wil be looking for news on the uptake of Twilio Flex, the contact center application platform.

The size of the developer community is another data point to watch, and of course, the two revenue drivers: new customer acquisition, and the amount current customers are growing. It's this two headed giant for revenue growth that has Twilio bulls so
