NASDAQ - Bullish Break Out!Previously posted about the candle that broke the market's back. It continued to test resistance for the next few days, and then broke down marginally, only to fake it and in one session reversed to close at a recent high. And this followed through to close the week in a massive three day streak of higher high closes ending with a bullish marubozu! The technical indicators are all good and aligned, crossing up and looking for more upside space. Green circles mark descriptions. Clearly BULLISH. A wonderful end to the week, the month, and the first quarter of 2023! Going forward, in the short term, any pullback to test the 12,900-13,000 support area should see a quick bounce. Upside target is now 14,400 (end April, early May) In contrast, breakdown zone is now below 12,800. PS. I still see 2023 as comparatively more volatile. For now, there appears to be some stability in the trend, so I would just go with the flow until near to the time when the music stops.

Texas Instruments: Don’t Rush It! 🐢With a healthy respect, Texas Instruments is advancing toward the resistance line at $158.99 slowly but surely. Soon, the share should climb above this mark and push off into the green zone between $215.90 and $237.98 to complete wave B in green before turning downwards again. There is a 33% chance, though, that the course could shift away from the next resistance line, dropping below the support at $144.49 instead. In that case, we would expect Texas Instruments to develop wave alt.IV in gray in the gray zone between $130 and $107.68 before moving upwards anew.

Fiserv: Channel Your Energy 🪫🔋Fiserv is making use of our pink trend channel, where it has last finished wave (D) in magenta. Already, the share is on its way downwards to develop wave (E) in magenta as well as wave E in green, which should end at the channel’s lower edge. This low should then provide enough energy to lift the course above the resistance at $127.34. A 33% chance remains, though, that Fiserv could slip below the support at $87.03, thus triggering further descent. In that case, the share should expand wave alt.II in gray into the gray zone between $62.53 and $26.76 before moving upwards again.

Snowflake: Snowed Under ❄️Snowflake seems to be snowed under with work. The share has a great deal to do, but is currently delaying the anticipated ascent, gradually sagging towards the support at $110.27. There is a 33% chance that the course might drop below this mark, thus developing wave alt.2 in turquoise earlier already. However, we primarily expect it to climb above the resistance at $205.66 first to lodge the top of wave x in magenta before moving downwards again. Wave 2 in turquoise should then return Snowflake below $205.66 and carry it below the support at $110.27, introducing fresh upwards movement afterward.

Electronic Arts: Pushing the Right Buttons 🎮Electronic Arts has been pushing the right buttons and has made fine use of our pink trend channel, finishing waves (a) till (e) in violet. Indeed, the course has already made further progress, touching at the support at $109.27. Next, the share should gain even more downwards momentum and drop below this mark to complete wave B in turquoise. Afterwards, we expect Electronic Arts to climb above the resistance at $150.30 to conclude wave C in turquoise as well as wave (B) in red. Subsequently, the course should start a long journey to the south, falling back below $150.30 and below the supports at $109.27 and at $73.91. There, it should enter the green zone between $64.44 and $40.83 to finish wave 2 in green before turning upwards again.

Block: Playing Tag 🙃“You’re it!” Block calls, tapping on the magenta-colored zone and taking off. The share seems to be playing tag and has just caught the magenta-colored zone, finishing wave ii in magenta with one impulsive downwards spike. Next, the course should seek shelter above the resistance at $94.87, thus gaining further upwards momentum. However, there is a 32% chance for Block to lose its drive and to drop below the support at $69.16. In that case, the course should develop wave alt.ii in magenta first before heading southwards, abiding above the support at $51.16 along the way.

Semiconductors are off to a HOT Start in 2023Semiconductors are off to a HOT Start in 2023…after a COLD 2022… As we begin 2023 looking at technology-oriented investments, a ‘consumer-slowdown’ and related macroeconomic factors are front and centre in investor considerations: Worldwide shipments in personal computers (PCs) totalled 286.2 million units in 2022, a 16% decline from 20211. Global Information Technology spending contracted 0.2% in 2022, dropping to a total figure of $4.38 trillion. It is rare to see this figure, which represents spending in many different categories of things, contract. PCs, smartphones and other devices are seeing the biggest cuts. Devices spending dropped more than 10% in 20222. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has indicated that its revenue can drop as much as roughly 5% in the current quarter, and that it expects lower capital expenditures when measured against the 2022 figures. TSMC is the world’s largest contract chip maker, and it has set the capital expenditure budget at $32 to $36 billion, which compares to $3.3 billion 20223. However, the fact that semiconductors companies behave in a cyclical fashion, sensitive to the ups and downs of supply and demand is not new. There was a deluge of negative news and a downplaying of forward looking expectations in the second half of 2022. During earnings call, the CEOs of semiconductor companies put on a masterclass of seeking to lower forward-looking expectations. Therefore, we could be in a position where, at the start of 2023, any news that does not represent the most bearish of possible outcomes is actually viewed positively. Semiconductor Companies have Rallied Strongly to Start 2023 When many investors think about ‘growth’ or ‘tech’, they first thing of the Nasdaq 100 Index. This index functions as a baseline, where the top holdings are some of the world’s largest companies driving what we think of as ‘information technology’ forward. In Figure 1a, we created a ratio chart, where, as the line moves from the left to the right of the page4: An upward or positive slope represents the outperformance of Semiconductors companies relative to the Nasdaq 100 Index. A downward or negative slope represents the underperformance of Semiconductors companies relative to the Nasdaq 100 Index. When we see that the overall trend going back to 2015, we know that Semiconductors companies have generally performed strongly—since the line is higher at the right of the chart than the left, we know that Semiconductors outperformed the Nasdaq 100 Index. However, the line is not stable or smooth, and it is characterized by sweeping upward and downward trends. We show those figures specifically in Figure 1b. This full period was strong from ‘tech stocks.’ The Nasdaq 100 Index was up 14.5% annualised, whereas Semiconductors were up 18.2% annualised. Our ‘recent memory’ is colouring our perception, so what we likely remember closely is how it felt to watch Semiconductors drop -34.6%, but at the same time the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped -32.6%. 2022, as we all well know, was a rough year for the returns of technology-oriented stocks. We would say that the 2022 experience was largely a result of what had come directly before—a massive expansion in near-term demand as many people shifted their working practices and purchased different types of hardware to allow them to work from anyway. From 17 June 2019 to 31 December 2021, Semiconductors returned 55.0%, annualised, while the broader Nasdaq 100 Index returned 36.4%. We find it interesting that, even with all the same headwinds, like higher interest rates and a higher cost of capital and a lowered expectation of global economic growth, Semiconductor stocks have risen 15.7% in the first 3 weeks of 2023, which compares with the Nasdaq 100 Index rising 8.5%. 3 weeks is not a significant length of time, but it’s notable that this period immediately precedes companies reporting their earnings results from the period ended 31 December 2022. Maybe there is an implicit assumption in these returns that the results could be ‘less bad’ than what the CEOs of the Semiconductor companies had guided toward in prior quarters. Conclusion: The Two Forces of 2023 that Determine the Semiconductor Return Experience No one knows how the performance of semiconductor companies will evolve over 2023, but we are watching two critical areas of the space. Even if 2022 was poor from a direct share price performance perspective, there was an enormous array of announcements of planned new plants to be built in different states in the U.S. There was also the passage of the ‘Chips Act.’ Even if it will take years before these plants will be making physical chips that can be sold, the signal that these companies are adjusting their supply chains to be less geographically reliant on Taiwan is an important one. As we stated, the general CEO of a semiconductor company was focused on lowering guidance for the upcoming quarterly earnings results. When this happens, the future reports become less about the number on the page and more about whether the number on the page is ‘less bad’ than the guidance. If there is a perception that things are ‘less bad’ it’s possible that share prices can rally even if the results in isolation do not look great. If Semiconductors can continue to outperform the Nasdaq 100 Index through the upcoming earnings season, this would lend strength to the concept that they may be able to hold onto this for the year, as opposed to us remembering that quick 3 week period of strong performance before the market gave it all back.

Intuit: Trust Your Gut 😊After it had started the ongoing descent so confidently at first, Intuit has been struggling in a sidewards movement. Now, the share should trust its gut and decide or rather intuit – pardon the pun! – to continue its journey to the south. We expect the course to drop below the support at $339.36, where it should complete wave B in green at about $303.29 before taking off again. Alternatively, Intuit could have already finished wave alt.B in green and thus climb above the resistance at $457.94 by now. We rate this alternative scenario with a probability of 38%.

Airbnb: Vacation Ready 🌴🌞After finishing up the turquoise wave 1, the Airbnb stock should get some rest and drop into a correction to reach the turquoise target zone between $101.66 and $90.36. Within this zone, we expect the corrective low of the turquoise wave 2, which is followed by an upwards trend back North. Our alternative scenario with a probability of 35% implies, that the course could drop below the support line at $81.91 and continue with a downwards slope until hitting the low of the grey wave alt. II in the grey target zone.

Is Intel ($INTC) falling behind?In today’s educational article we will take a look at the basic metrics in Intel’s 10K annual report released a couple of days ago and define some basic stock fundamentals that an investor should take into account when analyzing a security. Financial analysis is the process of examining a company’s performance in the context of its industry and economic environment (macroeconomic) in order to arrive at a decision or recommendation. If you want to invest in one company there are 2 main ways to do it: • Invest in the debt of the company (buying corporate bonds) • Invest in the equity of the company (buying shares) Investors in debt are concerned with the company’s ability to pay interest and the principal. Investors in equity are concerned about the profitability of the company which translates into the ability to pay dividends or the likelihood of the share price going up. When we study Intel’s 10K we see some financial metrics that tell us about the business performance in the previous year: - Revenue : Intel declared that their revenue was down 20% from 2021. The total figure was 63.1B vs 79B in 2021. The revenue ( sales) refers to amounts charged for the delivery of goods or services in the ordinary activities of a business. - Gross Margin : was down 12.8% from the 2021 figure. In 2022 the gross margin for Intel was 42.6%. The gross margin is net sales less cost of goods sold (COGS). In other words, it's the amount of money a company retains after incurring the direct costs associated with producing the goods it sells and the services it provides. - Diluted EPS : Intel reported a diluted EPS that was down $2.92 or 60% lower than 2021. In 2021 they made $4.86 per share vs $1.94 in the previous year. Diluted EPS is a measurement used to gauge the quality of a company's earnings per share (EPS) if all convertible securities were exercised. EPS : Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. - Operating cashflow : Operating cashflow was down $14B or 48% compared to 2022. The operating cashflow is defined as the net amount of cash provided from operating activities. The company’s management said that 2022’s results were impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic environment arising from inflation, the war in Ukraine, and COVID-19 shutdowns in their supply chain in China.

Microsoft: You can do it 💻Despite the recent outage, Microsoft is fighting its way back to the top and should exceed the resistance line at $265.00 soon to continue its upwards slope. Our alternative scenario with a probability of 40% implies that the stock could tire and drop below the support line at $212.25, instead of rising to the top. In this case, the course would sink into the grey target zone to fulfill the superior grey wave alt. IV before heading back North in the longterm.
