Nvidia is World's Most Valuable Company—Watch These Levels

1 hr 28 min ago

Nvidia (NVDA) this week surged into the top position among the world’s most valuable companies by market capitalization, surpassing iPhone maker Apple (AAPL).

The stock was up 1.6% at around $148 in recent trading, after hitting another record high early in Thursday's session. Nvidia shares have risen nearly three-fold since the start of the year amid insatiable demand for the company’s family of AI chips.

The stock has traded mostly sideways to higher on low trading volumes since breaking out from a symmetrical triangle last month as investors look for future catalysts that may drive the AI favorite's next move.

Zillow Stock Soars After Earnings

1 hr 55 min ago

Zillow Group (Z) shares jumped more than 20% Thursday morning after the real estate company posted strong third-quarter sales gains and narrowed its losses.

Zillow reported third-quarter revenue of $581 million, up 17% year-over-year, and above the midpoint of the range the company had previously offered. Its net loss for the three months to Sept. 30 narrowed to $20 million, from a $28 million loss the same period last year.

Sales during the period outperformed the 2% total transaction value growth of the broader residential real estate industry, the listings site said, citing the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Zillow is projecting fourth-quarter revenue in the range of $525 million to $540 million and said it is sticking with its forecast for full-year double-digit revenue growth.

The company’s stock has surged since it named a new CEO and reported better-than-expected second-quarter results, in early August. The shares are now up about 24% since the start of the year.

AppLovin Jumps 50% on Strong Earnings, Outlook

2 hr 55 min ago

AppLovin (APP) shares surged to a record high Thursday morning after the software maker’s third-quarter earnings and outlook for the fourth quarter each beat expectations.

The company, which partners with app makers to provide advertising and grow their user bases, reported $1.2 billion in revenue, a jump of nearly 40% from the same time last year and slightly better than analysts had expected. Net income came in well above estimates at $434.42 million, as analysts had projected $319.2 million.

For the fourth quarter, AppLovin projects $1.24 billion to $1.26 billion in revenue, above the $1.17 billion analysts had expected coming into the late-Wednesday earnings release.

AppLovin said its AI-powered advertising tools now make up nearly all of its "software platform" segment's revenue. The company's monthly active payers (MAP) figure, which counts each user who makes an in-app purchase in the quarter, fell to 1.6 billion users from 1.8 billion a year ago. However, its average revenue per MAP rose to $52 from $46.

4 hr 10 min ago

Tesla (TSLA) shares are down slightly this morning after surging Wednesday amid investor expectations that the EV maker could benefit from Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, as CEO Elon Musk has been one of the former president’s most prominent supporters.

The stock has traded within an ascending triangle, a bullish chart pattern that indicates a continuation of the uptrend that started in April.

Investors should watch key overhead levels on Tesla's chart around $300 and $350, while monitoring important support areas near $265 and $230.
