Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ) META Cargando USD This stock, unlike many others, updated its historical peak instead of trying to fall. Some analysts was initially worried about the Facebook-owner's big spending on large language models (LLMs). Yet, emotional warnings ended up being for nothing, particularly as Meta's billions of dollars succeeded in scaling up its ad-attractive business based on growing third-party developers. Markets quickly concluded that possible reductions in price of software decisions, or if the number of cutting-edge chips required to solve the same problems could be minimized later, may not be in favour of chip manufacturers, but could even bring fresh bargain to companies that consume chip models. A declared shift to free expression of opinion model on its social networks and messengers after U.S. elections, in combination with 3.35 billion of active daily users of all Meta apps (+5% YoY) and an absolutely record quarterly profit number of $8.02 per share on $48.4 billion of sales on January 29 to beat already elevated market estimates of $6.73 per share on $47.0 billion finished the job.

QUALCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ) QCOM Cargando USD Qualcomm had hit an all-time peaking price in June 2024, doubling its market value in the previous 7 months since November 2023. What followed was more of a technical pullback nature than anything related to a cooling of business. A smartphone wireless chipmaker is well protected from stormy weather, so that its share price already began its recovery path again by adding more than 12% only this January. The stock was only shaky by plus or minus 2% when NVIDIA and its close circle was falling down, as Qualcomm production is equally demanded by rivals like Apple and Samsung. If so, Qualcomm's financial results are not too much dependent on a particular brand. As an example, when Apple is now going to use Qualcomm-designed Snapdragon® 5G modem systems for Apple devices, but sales of iPhones are lower in China, then other firms are winning Apple's share in the Asian sales market. Yet, most of Apple's competitors need Qualcomm as their main supplier as well.

Alphabet, Inc. - Class C (NASDAQ) GOOG Cargando USD During the last week of January, the tech giant stocks faced severe challenges, but Google was among the winners who passed this period with honour when a close OpenAI collaborate Microsoft and many other AI beneficiaries were still dropping points. Instead, shares of the global search engine and creator of the unique Gemini chat model rose to a new all-time high of over $207 by early February. Investors were not scared by an imaginary competition from DeepSeek, a $6 million-cost Chinese chat bot with an open source coding, since the latter's capabilities showed more erroneous, biased or useless answers during recent testing. The only weak spot of Google-parent Alphabet suddenly manifested itself on the night of February 4 to 5, when some shareholders were disappointed with Alphabet's numbers in its cloud computing division. The cloud contribution in its Q4 revenue reportedly grew by 30% to nearly $12 billion vs a pace of 35% detected in the prior quarter, while Wall St pool of analysts was averagely betting on 32.3%. However, Google's share price current decline below $190 will likely be very short-lived, as a similar situation with Google's cloud services already happened once in the middle of last year and quickly corrected itself, just giving an additional chance to buy this well-growing issuer remarkably cheaper compared to recently peaking prices. In addition, Google clouds are still growing faster than Microsoft's Azure cloud competitor.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ) TSLA Cargando USD Any primitive or just simple chat bots cannot hold a candle to full self-driving (FSD) systems created by Tesla as FSD represent much more sophisticated and finely constructed artificial intelligence algorithms. So, the DeepSeek troubles hasn't made even the slightest impression on the stock of the world's most advanced electric vehicle (EV) maker. Meanwhile, U.S. president Donald Trump is ready to kill EV tax credit that may hit Tesla's competitors much harder, as they are more dependent on those governmental benefits, while Elon Musk's innovative company is self-sufficient without handouts. That's for American rivals, while China's electric car industry will be hammered by Trump's import tariffs. Well, that's an early checkmate and nearly the end of EV competition in the U.S. for Tesla, and the extensive network of electric charging stations in North America, sales of batteries and spare parts will add other advantages. Elon Musk's presence among Trump's closest allies and his role in working on the efficiency of government spending leave no doubt that there will be no decisions, which could create any difficulties for his business. Yes, Tesla shares were too expensive and overbought at their peaks around $480 per unit, but the same can't be said for a price nearly $100 dipper. Meanwhile, lower-than-expected sales in China are a marketing concession in profits for the sake of further market share expansion within a year or so. A 60% growth in output and the launch of Robotaxis are planned for Tesla in 2025 and 2026.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ) AVGO Cargando USD Broadcom's impressive recovery to $233 per share again in the first week of February, less than ten days after a sharp but one-off plummeting by more than 20% from almost $250 to below $200 per share, speaks volumes for how lovely is the mid-term sentiment towards the company. Its market capitalization exceeds $1 trillion, although it was 5 times smaller only 2 years ago. It was Broadcom spotted in cooperative development of Apple's first server AI chip Baltra in mid-December. Broadcom's digital connectivity solutions for data centers are in high demand in the AI era, independent of AI chip costs. An acquisition of its former rival VMware in 2023 helped Broadcom to expand, having Samsung, Huawei and Cisco among other large customers. Broadcom sales to Samsung, including Galaxy lineup, is more than 20% of the overall Broadcom sales, which continue to rise. The company's next quarterly report at the end of February is intended to consolidate the success.

Descripción

Typically, the first month of the year hints at a moral tone and mindsets for many more weeks to come. Wall Street's major indexes stood firmly on their feet, with the S&P 500 broad barometer closing at 6,038, well above the 6,000 psychological barrier against a big haircut. However, some cloud formations were massing twice over the horizon. Many investors still wonder if the Chinese chat model DeepSeek is just a cheap "knock-off" and a "deep fake" or a lingering killer of formerly shining futures for flagship artificial intelligence businesses led by NVIDIA in this context. The double-digit percentage losses in the blink of an eye were quite painful and unexpected for particular stocks, but some of them bravely withstood the blow, while other techs even stood aside of unpleasant corrective moves. Our task is to bring a short list of them to your kind attention. Those firms also remained almost unaffected by "on-again-off-again" tariff uncertainty from the new White House decisions in Donald Trump's commercial battles with Canada, Mexico, potentially EU and, which is most important, China to cause retaliation measures. Sustainable benefits can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the bright side, while being more selective on the issuers' choice.
