☆ Solar stock Nextracker's strong quarter is eclipsed by backlog concerns — here's where we stand
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

Shares of Nextracker dropped in extended trading Thursday as questions about the solar technology firm's backlog of projects overshadowed its better-than-expected quarterly results. Scrutiny of Nextracker's revenue backlog came more into focus during Nextracker's conference call with analysts. That, in turn, impacts the pace at which Nextracker's backlog becomes reported revenue. With interest rate cuts on the horizon, the economics of solar projects should get a whole lot better.

With AWS humming and management identifying more ways to lower its cost to serve, Amazon's profitability story is still intact. Olsavsky said the profitability of North America stores improved quarter over quarter, driven by further improvements in its cost to serve. The company expects net sales of $154 billion to $158.5 billion, an increase of 8% to 11% year over year. The high end of guidance captures the consensus of $158.2 billion, but it's a miss on the analysts' consensus of $156.25 billion. Management expects operating income of $11.5 billion to $15 billion, which at a midpoint of $13.25 billion misses the consensus of $15.34 billion.

While there are still concerns about the company's aggressive AI spending, we believe these investments will pay off in the long run. Both trends were cited as the main drivers behind Meta's revenue outperformance in the quarter. Zuckerberg added that AI is opening the door to new experiences and opportunities, especially with Meta AI, which is powered by the company's large language model that is often referred to as Llama. Zuckerberg said he believes Meta AI will be the most used AI assistant in the world by year end.

We saw a continued acceleration of Vizamyl doses delivered in the U.S. in the second quarter.

DuPont's water and protection segment may have seen a year-over-year decline in sales, but what matters most is that revenue was up 8% sequentially. Notably, DuPont's Water Solutions and Tyvek medical packaging businesses in China — an economy that's lately been a thorn in the side of so many companies — helped drive the quarter-over-quarter expansion. While there's been speculation that DuPont's water business is attracting interest from peers, management said the company has not had conversations about an outright sale. The range for operating EBITDA was raised to $3.06 billion to $3.11 billion, up from $2.9 billion to $3.05 billion previously. DuPont's third-quarter guidance of roughly $3.2 billion in sales, $815 million in operating EBITDA and adjusted EPS of $1.03 essentially matched expectations.

Starbucks Why we own it : Starbucks has one of the most recognizable brands of any restaurant. Like Starbucks, McDonald's has had a challenging 2024 and the company reported uninspiring results — missing on revenues, same-store sales, and earnings per share. Quarterly commentary Comparable store sales in North America — a key restaurant industry metric — fell 2%, slightly beating estimates of a 2.2% drop forecasted by Wall Street analysts, according to FactSet. In Starbucks' international segment, comparable store sales fell 7%, missing estimates of a 5.1% decline. A Starbucks store stands in Manhattan on January 30, 2024 in New York City.

We are selling 350 shares of GE Healthcare at roughly $82.79. Shares of the medical equipment maker GE Healthcare are off to a solid start this week, gaining roughly 3% while the S & P 500 index drifted lower. However, China remained a weak spot, as the government's anti-corruption campaign across the health-care sector led to a decline in orders. When GE Healthcare reports Wednesday before the opening bell, we expect to hear much of the same. While it is certainly possible that GE Healthcare trades higher on strong results in North America, like Philips, the stock frequently trades on sentiment in China.

Stanley Black & Decker Why we own it: Stanley Black & Decker is in the later innings of a multi-year restructuring plan. Stanley Black & Decker, which also makes fastening and assembly systems, jumped 7.5% on Tuesday's release following last week's 9.7% gain. Full-year organic sales in Tools & Outdoor are projected to be down about 1% at the midpoint, with year-over-year margin improvement.

☆ P&G stock deserves to be down after a messy quarter — but not by this much
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

Despite that, P & G had a spotty quarter, which could give fuel to investors worried that a deterioration in the consumer would make its guidance harder to achieve. Nevertheless, P & G still fills an important role in a diversified portfolio, and its business is on solid footing. That includes North America, where organic sales grew 4%, and Europe, where organic sales increased 2% despite a difficult 12% comparison in the year-ago period. That helps explain how you get organic sales in China down 9%, albeit a slight sequential improvement from the 10% drop in the third quarter. It saw a mid-single digit decrease in organic sales because of market-share losses for its Luvs diapers.

AMD sold off on its first-quarter earnings report due in large part to its MI300 sales guidance falling short of sky-high expectations. Nvidia remains the dominant player in AI chips, but AMD is continuing to carve out a lane in the rapidly expanding market. Among the highlights, Su said Microsoft has expanded its use of the AI chips for certain software applications, including messaging app Teams. AMD's data center business is now nearly 50% of companywide revenues, up from 37% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Within data center, sales of both AI chips and traditional server chips will grow in the third quarter, Su said.
