Salesforce Earnings

Although mega-cap technology giants like Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon are having no trouble in the advertising market, smaller players like Snap are. That trend continued today, with Pinterest missing revenue estimates. Let’s take a look at the numbers. 👇

The social media company’s adjusted earnings per share of $0.53 topped the expected $0.51. However, revenues of $981 million were $10 million shy of estimates despite rising 12% YoY.

Zoom Video Communications hasn’t made headlines for many good reasons lately, scraping the bottom of its range as a public company as investors look for other opportunities. However, the stock is jumping today on better-than-expected results, so let’s take a look. 👇

The video chat software vendor’s adjusted earnings per share of $1.22 on $1.15 billion in revenues topped expectations of $1.15 and $1.13 billion. Revenue growth remains anemic, rising just 3% YoY, but the company’s cost-cutting has helped it drive positive earnings vs. last year’s loss. 

With it being Nvidia day and all, let’s recap the semiconductor giant’s earnings and reaction. 👇
