Tesla's Q1 performance was strong, is it time to take a position?
[With Prizes] Earnings Season Kicks Off! Tesla, Intel Lead the Way as Oil, Gas, Gold, and Copper Soar – A Quick Recap of the Week’s Earnings (Apr. 20-24)
Hello fellow investors~
Over the past week, optimistic sentiment around peace talks and a robust earnings season provided dual drivers. $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$、 $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$The market surged to new all-time highs, with the Nasdaq closing at another record high last night, marking its twelfth consecutive gain.
A positive start to earnings season has been a key pillar supporting this round of market momentum. $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ The trading division reported its highest quarterly profit in nearly two decades, with the equities trading business setting a historical record. $Morgan Stanley (MS.US)$ The equities trading department also delivered a record-breaking performance amid skyrocketing volatility in Q1. However, the most eye-catching results came from $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ —a staggering earnings report with net profit up 58% YoY and gross margin surging to 66.2%, dispelling concerns over geopolitical impacts on chip demand. Nevertheless, the fragile ceasefire expectations between the US and Iran continue to weigh on oil prices.But markets never slow down; next week will mark the first major highlight of the US stock Q1 earnings season! Tesla, Intel, UnitedHealth, Boeing... these giants that determine market direction will release their reports one after another. Meanwhile, core Hong Kong-listed stocks such as Zijin Mining, ZTE, Goldwind, and Shandong Molong will also make密集 appearances.After hitting new highs, can earnings support this elevated sentiment? We'll have to wait and see.
Let’s first focus on the US stock highlights: post-market on Wednesday, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ there is no doubt it is the core of attention.Previously, Tesla announced its Q1 delivery volume at only 358,000 vehicles, falling short of market expectations for two consecutive quarters, dragging its share price down by 5%. As detailed performance figures are officially unveiled, can Tesla's actual results restore market confidence? Investors' focus will be on capital expenditure, progress in the physical AI transformation, and current margin pressures: can automotive gross margin hold firm at the critical threshold of 15%? The long-term growth story supported by energy storage business growth rates and Cybertruck production ramp-up should not be overlooked either.
Its share price rebounded strongly over the past two weeks, with its market value increasing by more than $100 billion, making it one of the hottest stocks in the S&P 500 index. The earnings report after Thursday's close will be a critical turning point for Intel’s turnaround logic. Investors are highly anticipating its 'comeback,' watching whether strong demand for server CPUs can deliver impressive results. The market is closely monitoring whether losses in the foundry business narrow and whether the 14A process node can unleash catalytic effects.
Taking the stage before Tuesday’s market open is $UnitedHealth (UNH.US)$, which finds itself in a rather delicate situation, as its shares plummeted after expectations emerged that annual revenue would see its first decline in 40 years.Can this round of earnings reverse the downtrend and stabilize market confidence by improving profitability?Have the multiple pressures from a decrease in members, adjustments to the Medicare model, and the sale of overseas operations eased?$Boeing (BA.US)$It carries another layer of expectations.It had earlier signaled an active outlook with quarterly deliveries of 143 commercial aircraft surpassing Airbus. The market is now focused on whether Boeing’s monthly delivery volume of the 737 MAX can continue to grow and whether free cash flow can turn positive. Any news about the FAA easing regulatory scrutiny could potentially boost market sentiment.

The Hong Kong stock market is equally eventful.
On Tuesday, the 'oil and gas网红 stock' $SHANDONG MOLONG (00568.HK)$ takes center stage, with its earnings elasticity directly tied to oil service capital expenditures. This earnings report will test whether gross margins have recovered and if there's any improvement in overseas orders.
On the same day, $ZIJIN MINING (02899.HK)$ is almost guaranteed to deliver a 'golden' quarterly report. Both gold and copper prices are at historical highs. Will overseas mine production exceed expectations, and how well are costs being controlled? Might the company take advantage of the situation to announce new dividend or acquisition plans?

Will overseas mine production exceed expectations, and how well are costs being controlled? Might the company take advantage of the situation to announce new dividend or acquisition plans?$ZTE (00763.HK)$ The key focus is on whether incremental orders for AI-powered servers and smart computing centers can offset the sluggishness of the traditional 5G equipment cycle. The market expects mid-single-digit net profit growth; any better-than-expected guidance could lead to a revaluation.
Also making an appearance on Friday, $GOLDWIND (02208.HK)$ , following an impressive annual report, can this quarter's report once again highlight the strong capabilities of 'the leading position in the global wind power industry'? What breakthroughs will international business and current orders bring?
