Brilliant results all round and some spectacular, GOOG beat any and all expectations, proving that AI is being monetised at pace. Earnings grew 100%-due to a huge space x revaluation(we spoke about that) however operationally which matters most, their business grew 30%-hard to fathom something this mature and large growing 30%!
Meta results were great and they raised Capex even more which naturally the market didnt like-we are not concerned.
KLAC beat all guide and raised but the sheer momentum of late resulted in an after market sell off-again, no surprises.
Amazon had its best quarter ever. AWS grew 30% in fact they grew everywhere. ATH for the stock
I'll start breaking down the note worthy aspects.
Generally the message is, not enough compute, accelerated Capex on AI! And obviously memory. The whole stack.We have no complaints, many holdings are up nicely and this reporting window has validated the existing valuations with room for expansion.

I think a better way to describe the situation is. We have been rewarded by spotting the AI theme early, whilst markets will remain volatile due to specific sector risks (concern/doubt) and the wider geo political back drop, we do consider we are still in the early innings in regards the AI story. :).

April’s(US) payroll gain of 115,000 is materially stronger than the 63,000 expected, which signals that labour demand is holding up better than economists had assumed.
Even though the prior month was revised down to 185,000, the key point is that hiring is still positive and broadly stable rather than collapsing. A flat unemployment rate at 4.3% reinforces that the labour market remains tight enough to support incomes without showing signs of rapid deterioration.
Futures positive
