Let me summarize some of my core viewpoints and thoughts from yesterday’s Binance Square voice live AMA, and provide a recap for friends who couldn’t make it to the livestream…
1、This quarter’s AMD earnings report was pretty much in line with expectations. Part of the reason the stock price fell is that its gross margin declined. When gross margin drops, it often means the company is selling more by volume rather than having pricing power. In many companies’ earnings reports, gross margin is a crucial metric.
2、If AMD wants to become an AI platform company independent of Nvidia, it needs to work on three fronts: diversifying its supply, building its own ecosystem, and telling the story well through its Helios rack-scale system. Right now, it still has a long way to go.
3、At present, for most products, the impact of their earnings reports on the stock price is far smaller than the market’s overall fluctuations. The key reason is that the core semiconductor products’ stock prices are currently at high levels; at this point, external market factors tend to amplify that “weakness.”
4、The non-farm payroll (NFP) data being too strong or too weak isn’t ideal. If it’s too strong, the market faces pressure for rate hikes; if it’s too weak, there’s a risk that the story can’t be sustained. The best outcome is slightly weak—soft landing—so the narrative can continue.
5、For now, the overall impact of NFP data on semiconductor product pricing will be even greater. In the long run, though, the stock can stabilize only if AMD’s own profitability and ability to catch up in the market are seen.
6、As of today, if you’re a value investor, then clearly holding $NVDA (Nvidia) for the long term is better. I was already saying so when Nvidia was at 190—this is a very good level. If you’re a speculator, you can absolutely speculate heavily on many semiconductor-related companies in this market to profit—ultimately it depends on your choice.
In summary, the market has entered a phase that feels more tense and cautious. It’s being influenced by many different factors, and there are bigger swings in global markets—geopolitics at the edges, US key data, instability within the Federal Reserve, and an emotional/irrational market—all of these will affect how stock prices move up and down.
As retail investors, my advice is the 3+2 rule: hold 3 long-term products consistently and practice long-term thinking; use 2 products for day-to-day research and opening positions—anything more than that and you won’t be able to research enough.
On Binance now, you can use bStocks to buy spot, or you can use futures/derivatives trading to trade the products you like. If you have trading ideas, you can go on Binance.
