#ThrowbackThursday

We started today with a review of blue chips and their reports.

Let's make a brief overview on what's happening and think for a second whether we all have to care about it all :) 

1️⃣
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) reported robust growth in earnings and revenue in many quarters over the last two years as customers took increasing advantage of the company's online offerings during the early stages of the COVID-19

📊OG Amazon has posted strong EPS(Earnings per share) growth in recent years, rising 81.7% in FY(fiscal year) 2020 and 53.2% in FY 2021. Earnings declined in only two of the last nine quarters. However, Amazon's solid EPS growth sharply reversed course last quarter. The company posted a loss of $0.39 per share for Q1 FY 2022, the first time Amazon has seen a quarterly loss in several years.

HAWEX 💭: Investors will also be focusing on revenue generated by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's high-margin cloud computing business.

2️⃣
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is expecting a slowdown in the economy, and has projected lower earnings and revenue growth as a result. 

📊 Apple reported Q2 earnings that exceeded analysts’ expectations. EPS rose 8.6% compared with the year-ago quarter, the slowest rise since the company's earnings declined in the final quarter of FY 2020.

Apple’s EPS and revenue have been going up year-on-year (YOY) every quarter since Q4 FY 2020 but at a slowing rate.

HAWEX 💭: The company’s focus has shifted over the years to focus more on the services and subscriptions it offers. In Apple’s revenue report, it divides its sales by physical products and services offered.

It's more economical to build up a services business than to release newer iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, or other physical products. Services revenue continues to outpace Apple’s product revenue

3️⃣
Meta Platforms Inc. (META), known as Facebook for its popular social networking site and brand, has faced a rapid deceleration in growth in its core social networking business in recent quarters.

📊Meta posted strong adjusted EPS growth during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 as people sheltered at home and sharply boosted their use of social media. In FY 2020, adjusted EPS growth accelerated from 13.2% YOY in Q2 to 46.0% for Q4. In FY 2021, adjusted EPS nearly doubled in Q2 compared to the same quarter a year earlier.

HAWEX 💭 Investors will also be focused on Meta's monthly active people, or MAP, a key metric that measures the size of the company's global active user base across all of its platforms.

Plus! Meta defines a MAP as a registered and logged-in user of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and/or WhatsApp who has visited at least one of these products through a mobile device app, web, or mobile browser in the prior 30 days.
