BlockBeats News, August 7th. This week, the US stock market continued to differentiate amid earnings season, rate expectations, and AI Chain fluctuations. Tech stocks were disturbed on one side by AI capital expenditure and performance realization pressure, while on the other side, orders from giants like Microsoft and Amazon continued to support computing power chain demand. Ahead of the job data release, the market repositioned for rate cuts and hedging, with gold briefly surging above $4300. At the individual stock level, SpaceX's first earnings report showed high growth but was overshadowed by unlocking pressure, SanDisk's earnings exceeded expectations but were guided down, AAOI surged on optical module supply chain news, and YuShu Technology's IPO brought embodied intelligence back into the spotlight.SpaceX (down about 10.43% during the week): The first post-IPO earnings report showed Q2 revenue of $7.8 billion, a year-on-year growth of about 92%, with losses better than expected. However, AI capital expenditure and over 9 billion shares unlocking pressure suppressed sentiment. The stock price initially fell and then rebounded, but short-term performance was still affected by the float and valuation fluctuations.SanDisk (down about 10.43% during the week): FQ4 revenue was $8.97 billion, with an adjusted EPS of $39.25, both exceeding expectations. However, the next quarter's revenue and gross margin guidance were not aggressive enough. With AI storage having high expectations, the stock price fell back to around $1306, shifting from strong performance to guidance focus in the NAND mainstream.Gold (up about 3.76% during the week): Ahead of the job data, the market repositioned for rate cuts and hedging. Gold surged from around $4095 this week, with futures briefly reaching $4300. Negotiations in the Middle East and the decline in US bond yields provided support, with funds continuing to view gold as a macro hedging asset.AAOI (up about 19.40% during the week): News of the US planning to restrict the import of Chinese optoelectronic modules ignited the optical communication chain. AAOI surged by about 18.9% in pre-market trading. The market continued to focus on 800G and 1.6T capacity expansion, shifting optical modules back to the trading mainstream from AI computing power accessories.YuShu Technology (IPO in progress): YuShu Technology has entered the IPO stage, planning to raise approximately $4.202 billion, with a market valuation anchor of about $40-42 billion. Projected revenue for 2025 is $1.699 billion, with profitability and the pace of humanoid robot shipments becoming pricing references for the sector.
