Alphabets quarterly results and sharp post-earnings selloff dominate discussion: strong Cloud growth was overshadowed by weaker-than-expected results, heavy AI infrastructure spending and negative free cash flow, alongside concerns that AI features could pressure Search ad monetization. Traders are split between viewing the drop as an overreaction and dip-buying opportunity and worrying that slowing core advertising growth and rising spending could weigh on returns.

Alphabet Inc - Ordinary Shares - Class C

Alphabets quarterly earnings miss and heavy AI infrastructure spending, which pressured profits and free cash flow, are driving the selloff. Traders are divided between concern that spending and slowing search growth may not deliver returns soon and optimism that strong cloud growth and AI adoption justify the investment.

ServiceNow Inc

ServiceNows mixed quarterly resultsan earnings miss and softer forward contract-growth guidance despite stronger revenue and raised AI targetssparked a sharp selloff.

Microsofts quarterly earnings beat expectations, with accelerating Azure growth and stronger cloud guidance reinforcing the view that AI demand is translating into revenue; lower-than-expected capital spending also reassured some investors.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoins choppy pullback and struggle to hold a key support area dominate discussion, with traders split between expecting further downside and viewing dips as buying opportunities. Fed uncertainty, election concerns, and geopolitical tensions are cited as sources of volatility, but no single macro catalyst clearly dominates.

Warren Buffett Unloads Bank of America: How Retail Investors Reacted

Equity

Neutral Sentiment

Legendary investor Warren Buffett-owned Berkshire Hathaway has trimmed its stake in Bank of America for the first time since 2019 over six trading sessions. Despite the stake reduction, retail investors have refrained from turning bearish on the stock with the sentiment meter trending in the neutral zone (53/100) supported by high message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1586/460;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_11_14_56_AM_17542e5de1.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in the neutral territory for Bank of America" width="1586" height="460"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in the neutral territory for Bank of America</figcaption></figure>The sale of shares took place from Wednesday July 17 through July 24, according to filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website. Last week, Berkshire sold roughly 33.89 million shares of the lender at prices ranging from $43.13 to $44.07. This week, the firm sold another 18.89 million shares at prices ranging from $42.39 to $42.56.In total, Berkshire sold 52.89 million shares of the lender in six sessions that amounts to approximately $2.30 billion worth of stock. However, Berkshire still holds over 980 million shares of the bank, worth $41 billion at current prices. That’s second only to its stake in Apple which is worth a whopping $172 billion.Notably, the share sale comes in the wake of a decent rally registered by Bank of America stock this year, having gained over 23% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. The lender, too, has been doing well on its operational metrics. Last week, it announced an upbeat set of earnings that topped analyst estimates on multiple counts. The bank reported a revenue of $25.40 billion during the quarter which came in higher than a Street estimate of $25.22 billion. Earnings per share came in at 83 cents as compared to an estimate of 80 cents.But that’s not all. The bank has been in the news lately after it increased its common stock dividend by 8% to $0.26 per share. The Board also authorized a new $25 billion common stock repurchase program, effective August 1, 2024, to replace the company’s current program, which will expire on that date.Stocktwits users are chatting about the buyback and the dividend hike, but some aren’t optimistic about the stock post Berkshire’s selling. A user named ‘FOTIKRR’ believes the stock could fall below the $30 mark and Buffett’s stake reduction in the lender is a precursor for a downward move in the stock and the broader financial sector.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/FOTIKRR/message/580483338"><img style="aspect-ratio:1572/648;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_11_16_53_AM_a736322b3a.png" alt="Stocktwits user FOTIKRR's post on Bank of America" width="1572" height="648"></a><figcaption>Stocktwits user FOTIKRR's post on Bank of America</figcaption></figure>Photo Courtesy: Bank of America website

Retail investors are uncertain about the stock’s fate given that Buffett’s stake reduction comes amid Bank of America’s dividend hike and a $25 billion buyback.
