Aimei Health Technology Co Ltd

AFJK is generating intense community conversation, characterized by extremely high volatility and speculative trading, as it continues to exhibit patterns seen in other low-float, China-linked stocks that have recently experienced dramatic price movements.

Gorilla Technology Group Inc

Gorilla Technology Group is trending amid a sharp stock price decline to 52-week lows, sparking intense debate among investors. Bulls emphasize strong fundamentals like a $1.4 billion contract and robust financials, while attributing the suppressed price to alleged manipulation and purchasing restrictions by major brokerage firms, fueling expectations of a future squeeze. Skeptics, however, point to management's communication issues and past perceived misleading announcements, questioning the company's ability to translate business growth into shareholder value.

The community is actively comparing ESHA to recent low-float SPAC runners like AFJK and ASPC, anticipating a significant sympathy play or short squeeze. This has generated intense speculative interest, despite some underlying skepticism, as many expect ESHA to follow its peers with parabolic gains.

The company was founded by Bin Li and Li Hong Qin on November 28, 2014 and is headquartered in Jiading, China.

NIO Inc - ADR

NIO Inc

NIO is trending as China's confirmed extension of EV trade-in subsidies into 2026 and new mandatory energy consumption standards provide a significant sector tailwind. This is fueling community optimism about the company's strong Q4 sales and potential profitability, driven by the CEO's upbeat forecast and recent milestones like 40,000 ES8 deliveries and 96 million battery swaps, with many believing the stock is undervalued due to perceived market manipulation and the long-term advantages of its battery swap technology.

Conversely, bears warn of an orchestrated pump-and-dump, predicting sharp corrections as leveraged positions face potential liquidation.

iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF - iShares Bitcoin Trust Beneficial Interest

iShares Bitcoin ETF

IBIT is trending as Bitcoin ETF inflows return following a period of outflows, boosted by a crypto market rebound and a Bank of Japan rate decision. Community sentiment is sharply divided, with bulls highlighting renewed institutional interest and potential seasonal strength, while bears anticipate a prolonged "crypto winter" and a significant price correction based on historical 4-year cycles. This ongoing debate between Bitcoin's traditional cyclical patterns and evolving institutional market dynamics is a key driver of current conversation.

Themes ETF Trust - Leverage Shares 2X Long UNH Daily ETF

Leverage Shares 2X Long UNH Daily ETF

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) on Thursday announced an upbeat set of second quarter earnings that topped analyst estimates led by an increasing demand for chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications. TSM reported a 40.10% jump in net sales at New Taiwan Dollar (NT) 673.51 billion as compared to a Street estimate of NT657.58. Net income came in at NT247.85 billion as compared to an estimate of NT238.80 billion.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:789/223;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_18_at_8_43_21_AM_e0365a2377.png" alt="Retail sentiment remains bearish for TSM stock" width="789" height="223"><figcaption>Retail sentiment remains bearish for TSM stock despite upbeat second quarter earnings</figcaption></figure>Despite the better-than-expected earnings, retail sentiment remained in bearish territory (40/100) on Stocktwits supported by extremely high message volumes (93/100) that hit a one-year high. Some users are concerned the positive earnings report may not be enough for the stock to hold on to the significant gains it is sitting on.Moreover, a report that indicated the US may be considering tough trade restrictions on semiconductor companies had led to a sell-off in chip stocks on Wednesday – something that could be preventing retail from being overly bullish on the sector.TSM said in dollar terms, second quarter revenue stood at $20.82 billion, up 32.80% year-over-year.Wendell Huang, Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer at TSMC said that the second quarter was supported by strong demand for its 3 nanometer and 5 nanometer technologies, partially offset by continued smartphone seasonality.During the second quarter, shipments of 3-nanometer accounted for 15% of total wafer revenue. Meanwhile, 5-nanometer accounted for 35% of the revenue and 7-nanometer accounted for 17%. Advanced technologies, defined as 7-nanometer and more advanced technologies, accounted for 67% of total wafer revenue.“Moving into third quarter 2024, we expect our business to be supported by strong smartphone and AI-related demand for our leading-edge process technologies,” Huang said.For the third quarter, the company expects its revenue to come in between $22.40 billion and $23.20 billion. This tops an earlier Street estimate of $22.60 billion.Based on the exchange rate assumption of one dollar to 32.50 NT dollars, it expects a gross profit margin between 53.50% and 55.50% and an operating profit margin between 42.50% and 44.50%.Shares of the firm have risen over 68% since the beginning of the year to $171.20. Recently, Needham reportedly raised its price target on the stock to $210 from the earlier target of $168 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock. &nbsp;

TSM Second Quarter Earnings Beat Analyst Estimates: Here’s How Retail Reacted

Despite the better-than-expected earnings, retail sentiment remained in the bearish territory (40/100) on Stocktwits supported by extremely high message volumes (93/100) that hit a one-year high.
