Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, the vision is to create a world computer that anyone can build applications in a decentralized manner; while all states and data are distributed and publicly accessible. Ethereum supports smart contracts in which developers can write code in order to program digital value. Examples of decentralized apps (dapps) that are built on Ethereum includes tokens, non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance apps, lending protocol, decentralized exchanges, and much more.  On Ethereum, all transactions and smart contract executions require a small fee to be paid. This fee is called Gas. In technical terms, Gas refers to the unit of measure on the amount of computational effort required to execute an operation or a smart contract. The more complex the execution operation is, the more gas is required to fulfill that operation. Gas fees are paid entirely in Ether (ETH), which is the native coin of the blockchain. The price of gas can fluctuate from time to time depending on the network demand.

Ford Motor Stock: Analyst Estimates & Ratings

Ford Motor has underperformed the broader market over the past year, and analysts are cautious about the stock’s prospects.

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Cadillac LYRIQ all-wheel drive vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The agency said the anti-lock brake system (ABS) of the vehicles may activate unexpectedly and release brake pressure in the vehicle's service brake system.A release of brake pressure can cause a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash, it explained.The NHTSA further notified that the electronic brake control module software will be updated through an over-the-air update or by a dealer, free of charge. According to the agency, owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 23. The potential number of units affected amounts to 21,469. Reuters had earlier <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-recall-over-21000-us-electric-suvs-over-braking-concerns-2024-08-13/">reported</a> the story.Following the development, retail sentiment on Stocktwits continued to trend in the ‘neutral’ territory (45/100) but inched-down from yesterday’s score of (53/100).<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GM"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/267;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_08_13_at_1_08_32_PM_0e79aa72ca.png" alt="GM sentiment meter as of 12:36 p.m. EST on August 13, 2024" width="960" height="267"></a><figcaption>GM sentiment meter as of 12:36 p.m. EST on August 13, 2024</figcaption></figure>The negative news appeared to have been offset by reports that the firm is busy conducting an overhaul in China.On Monday, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-13/gm-cuts-china-jobs-as-it-resets-in-world-s-biggest-car-market">reported</a> that the auto-major has been cutting jobs in China and is set to meet its local partner SAIC to work out a larger restructuring of its operations. The report further stated that the lay-offs are happening in market-related departments that include research and development.The company is now reportedly focussing on producing electric vehicles and upscale models while trimming factory capacity.Recently, CFO Paul Jacobson reportedly said at an auto conference that he doesn’t necessarily accept the notion that the firm is struggling to make money there. However, second-quarter earnings tell a different story. GM reported China equity loss of $104 million during the quarter-ended June 30, 2024, compared to a profit of $78 million in the same quarter a year ago.Retail investors remain undecided on the fate of the stock as they digest both the reports. However, a much-awaited restructuring of the firm’s Chinese operations appears to have provided some optimism to investors regarding the company’s long-term prospects.

Retail sentiment soured for Southwest Airlines and American Airlines after the firms reported their quarterly earnings. Let’s take a look at what did not work for the airlines this time.1. Southwest Airlines: The firm reported a 46.3% decline in its second quarter net income at $367 million while stating that it is taking urgent and deliberate steps to mitigate near-term revenue challenges and implement longer-term transformational initiatives. Operating revenue came in at a record $7.35 billion, in line with the Street estimate while earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.58, higher than an estimate of $0.52.Meanwhile, the revenue per available seat mile (RASM) decreased 3.8% year-over-year (YoY). Following the results announcement, shares of the firm fell over 6% in Thursday’s pre-market session but stabilized during market open. Retail sentiment soured following the significant decline in profits with the sentiment meter trending in the bearish territory (38/100) supported by high message volume. What is noteworthy is the fact that the firm’s third quarter forecast has not done anything to alleviate the negative sentiment. Southwest Airlines said it expects third quarter unit revenue to be in the range of flat to down 2% on a year-over-year (YoY) basis with capacity up roughly 2% YoY.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1564/464;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_9_28_29_AM_243f946dbb.png" alt="Retail sentiment in bearish territory for Southwest Airlines" width="1564" height="464"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in bearish territory for Southwest Airlines</figcaption></figure>2. American Airlines: Shares of the airline fell over 3% in Thursday’s pre-market trading after the firm said it expects full-year adjusted earnings per share to come in between $0.70 and $1.30, which is lower than the forecast of $2.25 to $3.25 a share made in April. The latest guidance stands below a Street estimate of $1.10 to $2.60.“American has taken aggressive action to improve its revenue performance, however, the company’s previous sales and distribution strategy will continue to impact its revenue performance and earnings through the remainder of the year,” the firm said. Following the announcement, retail sentiment was trending in the bearish territory for the stock (29/100) supported by extremely high message volumes.Meanwhile, the airline reported an adjusted earnings per share of $1.09 compared to a Street estimate of $1.06. The firm reported a record quarterly revenue of $14.33 billion as compared to a Street estimate of $14.4 billion.American Airlines clarified that the firm has taken swift and aggressive action to reorient its sales and distribution strategy in ways that continue to be customer-centric, while addressing feedback from corporate and agency partners. Earlier, the airline’s plan to push for more direct sales instead of third-party bookings had reportedly angered many travel agencies.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1602/468;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_9_29_57_AM_93b5e9a1d9.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in bearish territory for American Airlines" width="1602" height="468"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in bearish territory for American Airlines</figcaption></figure>Photo Courtesy: Forsaken Films on Unsplash

Wall Street Is Unhappy With Southwest Airlines, American Airlines After Q2 Earnings: But What’s Retail Thinking?

Retail sentiment soured for Southwest Airlines and American Airlines after the firms reported their quarterly earnings. Let’s take a look at what did not work for the airlines this time.

Southwest Airlines, American Airlines Disappoint Wall Street After Q2 Earnings

Retail sentiment was trending in the bearish territory for both companies after they reported second-quarter earnings. While Southwest reported a significant decline in net income, American Airlines came out with a disappointing forecast.

Shares of Ford Motor Co fell over 13% during Thursday’s pre-market session after the company’s second quarter earnings came in lower than Street expectations. Earnings per share came in at $0.47 compared to a Street expectation of $0.68. Net income dropped nearly 5% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.83 billion.However, revenue came in at $47.81 billion, higher than a Street estimate of $44.88 billion.&nbsp; Despite the disappointing earnings, retail sentiment trended in the extremely bullish territory (81/100), possibly based on expectations of a comeback.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1568/436;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_8_43_56_AM_f93076aa61.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in extremely bullish zone for Ford Motor Co" width="1568" height="436"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in extremely bullish zone for Ford Motor Co</figcaption></figure>Ford pointed out that profitability was affected by an increase in warranty reserves but efforts to lift the quality of new products are starting to pay off.The auto-maker said expectations for the full-year 2024 adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) remained unchanged at $10 billion to $12 billion. Investors, however, were expecting the company to raise its guidance.Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said that the company’s restructuring plan Ford+ is on track. The company, meanwhile, declared a third-quarter regular dividend of $0.15 per share, payable September 3 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 7.From a segmental basis, the company’s traditional business Ford Blue reported an EBIT of $1.17 billion while its commercial business Ford Pro reported an EBIT of $2.56 billion. The firm stated that demand by commercial customers for Super Duty trucks and Transit commercial vans is outstripping production capacity.The Ford Model e reported an EBIT loss of $1.14 billion amid ongoing industry-wide pricing pressure on first-generation electric vehicles and lower wholesales. These factors more than offset about $400 million in year-over-year cost reductions in the segment, the company said. An anticipated full-year loss of $5 billion to $5.50 billion for Ford Model e is unchanged, with continued pricing pressure and investments in next-generation electric vehicles, it added.The stock is currently trading at a price-to-earnings of 14.09. Stocktwits users, meanwhile, are talking about the cheap valuation of the stock. One user named “JDR1983” believes the stock deserves a much higher multiple than its current valuation.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/JDR1983/message/580634528"><img style="aspect-ratio:1546/454;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_25_at_8_45_03_AM_d79594ae9f.png" alt="Stocktwits user JDR1983's post on Ford" width="1546" height="454"></a><figcaption>Stocktwits user JDR1983's post on Ford</figcaption></figure> Photo Courtesy: Nadine Shabana from Unsplash

Earnings per share came in at $0.47 compared to a Street expectation of $0.68. Net income dropped nearly 5% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.83 billion. However, revenue came in at $47.81 billion, higher than a Street estimate of $44.88 billion.


GM’s second quarter earnings saw two things happen simultaneously that drew retail interest toward the stock and pushed Stocktwits sentiment toward an extreme. The firm topped Wall Street expectations on multiple metrics and also raised its forecast for the year.The automaker reported a revenue of $47.97 billion during the quarter, higher than a Street estimate of $45.46 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $3.06, beating an estimate of $2.75. GM’s revenue was 7.20% higher on a year-over-year (YoY) basis while its EPS was up over 60%.Following the announcement, shares of the company were trading over 4% higher on Tuesday morning in the pre-market session. Retail sentiment entered extremely bullish territory (79/100) from a previously neutral zone, supported by high message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:790/231;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_23_at_9_21_48_AM_26e9fe7e16.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in extremely bullish territory for GM" width="790" height="231"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in extremely bullish territory for GM</figcaption></figure>As far its 2024 guidance is concerned, the firm now expects to post an adjusted diluted EPS of $9.50-$10.50 as compared to an earlier guidance of $9-$10.

Notably, the firm’s China operations recorded an equity loss of $104 million.Meanwhile, the automaker has decided to indefinitely delay the production of its Cruise Origin autonomous vehicle. GM CEO Mary Barra said in a letter to shareholders that the Cruise team will simplify their path to scale by focusing their next autonomous vehicle on the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt, instead of the Origin. “This addresses the regulatory uncertainty we faced with the Origin because of its unique design. In addition, per-unit costs will be much lower, which will help Cruise optimize its resources,” she said.Bank of America analyst John Murphy has raised the price target on the stock to $85 from $75 while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating. Given that the stock is currently trading below the $50 mark, the price target leaves an upside potential of over 71% for the stock.

Retail sentiment flipped into the extremely bullish territory (80/100) for Ford Motor Co after the company announced it will invest approximately $3 billion to expand its F-series Super Duty production and said it will assemble the pick-ups at its Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, starting in 2026. The $3 billion investment is inclusive of a $2.30 billion investment to install assembly and integrated stamping operations at the Oakville Assembly Complex.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:788/217;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_18_at_12_16_06_PM_7ad2fab066.png" alt="Retail sentiment in extremely bullish territory for Ford Motor" width="788" height="217"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in extremely bullish territory for Ford Motor</figcaption></figure>Ford said the move to add production of up to 100,000 units of its best-selling Super Duty to Oakville expands Super Duty production across three plants in North America. This includes Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant, which are operating at full capacity.The facility was earlier reserved for Ford’s electric vehicle (EV) production. Last year, Ford had announced it will invest about $1.30 billion in the Oakville Assembly plant for a transition of the facility to a new electric hub. The latest development comes in the wake of a slowing electric vehicle market and intensifying competition in the space, and shows Ford is trying to squeeze more profits from its internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle lineup while it can.Goldman Sachs recently stated that sales momentum for EVs is slowing globally, and hybrids (HEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are proving more competitive than first thought.“We’re seeing rising concerns around EV capital costs due to lower prices being realized for used EVs. In the UK, for example, EV used car prices have fallen sharply in recent months. Two, uncertainty around a number of elections this year has decreased visibility on potential changes to government policies affecting the EV industry,” the firm said while adding that rapid charging station infrastructure issues have emerged as a tangible problem.Shares of Ford were trading nearly 2% higher on Thursday. The stock has returned over 21% since the beginning of the year.Recently, Barclays analyst reportedly maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock with a price target of $17. The stock is currently trading at $14.77, indicating an upside potential of 15%. &nbsp;
