On August 28th Eastern Time, the world's leading GPU manufacturer NVIDIA, which is highly anticipated, released its financial report for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025, showing a dazzling performance. However, the stock price fluctuated sharply after the performance, falling by more than 8%. The firm's forward-looking revenue expectations were not as high as investors wanted, despite reaching over 200% year over year.

@10baggerbamm: I own Apple by the way. I think this is a disappointment because there is no rush now to buy the next generation phones for $1,300 without a contract there's no rush a better camera...
$BHP Group Ltd (BHP.US)$ dropped 0.11% and $BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ rose 0.25% last week. BHP announced its FY24 financial results on August 27. The world's largest miner reported a 39% drop in statutory net profit to US$7.9 billion, driven by a US$2.7 billion writedown of its Western Australian nickel operations and a US$3.8 billion charge related to the Samarco dam failure in Brazil. However, underlying profit excluding significant items rose 2%, surpassing analyst expectations of US$13.26 billion, and revenue increased by 3%.

@OB1KENOB: BHP Average iron ore realised price FY2024 H1 US$103.70; BHP Average iron ore realised price FY2024 H2 US$98.30. For a FY2024 Average realised US$101.04. So H2 realised price approx 5% lower than H1. That's why upcoming dividend might be slightly lower than expectations? Might be wrong - just a bit of guestimate fun!!
@Gaxsun: low copper assumptions with likely 50% payout ratio. $Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.AU)$ at this point will pay higher dividends due to lower net debt and low capex spend in the interim. BHP is spending more on growth - Jansen and copper. However in a few short years we will get a couple billion EBITDA from Jansen, a new commodity (new pillar). Read more>>
$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ slid 4.14% last week. It announced to acquire ZT Systems last week, which is a top maker of AI tech for big computing firms, in a $4.9 billion deal. This purchase is a big step in AMD's AI plans and helps it better compete with Nvidia.

@Francis陳政: If the price fails to move lower and breaks below 139.85, we may have another entry opportunity.
@OptionsKing: AMD will double in market cap size from $250 billion today to $500 billion in 11 months. In 24 months, they will reach $1 trillion or $600.
$CommBank (CBA.AU)$ jumped 1.97% last week. CBA cut interest rates for some of its home loan products for new customers on August 23th, stoking fears of spurring intense competition in the local mortgage market, according to Reuters.

@gbsurfer: yup.. really sorry to leave. only did so because the dividend yield was so low due to stratospheric share price. i m not sure I have 10 years left in me, so dividend yields now drive my decisions. Mainly VHY..indexed so, average all around, but diversified and thus derisked. I still hold $Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AU)$ and $ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ANZ.AU)$ … neither fill me with joy but at least the yields are still north of 5%.
@ArtieZiffsCat: Its a bank, with a book value at 3.2 that will do ROE of around 13%. Its a bank, the net margins are where it makes its money. You cant technology your way to higher net margins. The concept of banking is the same today as it was 100 years ago, the internet has changed the delivery. This is one of the most bizarre moments in Australian stock market history
$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ rose 0.82% last week. In a strategic push to solidify its presence in the burgeoning quick commerce sector, Amazon's Indian arm is preparing to introduce its quick commerce service in 2025, according to Economic Times.

@Patriot trader: It will reverse back up. With the interest rate cut always means retail gets a boost. Good time to buy or buy a long call.
$Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS.AU)$ jumped 5.22% last week. Woodside released its half year 2024 results on August 27. The operating revenue was down 19% to US$5,988 million, due to the drop in oil prices.The underlying net profit after tax down 13.9% to US$1,632 million. Additionally, the company has also announced an interim dividend of $0.69 per share, which is a decrease from the $0.80 a year earlier, but still within its 50% to 80% payout range.

![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
DroneShield have a mixed technical analysis outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a neutral signal, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates a sell signal. However, the 20-day and 100-day exponential moving averages suggest a buy signal. The stock's pivot points also indicate a buy signal
2. Financial→follow the moolah
DRO's financial performance has been strong, with a 423.21% increase in share price over the past year. The company's revenue has also grown, with a market capitalization of AU$1.16 billion. However, the stock's price-to-earnings ratio is high at 171.1x, indicating potential overvaluation
3. News reporting→understand the story
Recent news suggests that DRO's stock price has dropped 41% despite the company's strong financial performance. Analysts have also noted that the company's shares are not flying under the radar, indicating potential for future growth. However, there are concerns about the company's ability to use its cash wisely and its high executive pay

Cheesetopher : Technical Index: Technical analysis seems to indicate that the trend in Droneshield's share price is relatively bearish, implying short term price decreases. I would assume that, given the time frames for the technical analysis, this analysis focuses only on short term rises and falls in the share price, and may not be indicative of DRO.AU's full potential at the end of this year. Therefore, subject to an analysis of the company's finances and news, it is possible for DRO.AU share prices to return to their July high of $2.72.
Financial Indicator: Financial Indicators show a substantial revenue increase by 105.44%, however, the company's EPS has decreased by 30%, performing significantly under the Financial estimate for FY2024. On the other hand, Morningstar Research highlighted Droneshield's high price to earnings ratio of 80.05 which is 87% greater than its sector peers. This could potentially indicate a rise in share price, however, as further stated by Morningstar research, the uncertainty of DRO.AU share prices have been described as extreme.
News Around: Bell Potter from the Motley Fool suggested a price target of $1.35 for the stock, which had now been surpassed. Oleg Vornik also blamed media reporting for the fall in share price from the July high. Regardless of price estimates, media reporting appears to be a massive influence on DRO.AU share prices, potentially explaining some of the volatility in the market. It is also possible that the spike to $2.72 is also merely a product of the media, especially given the intense media attention towards wars in Palestine and Ukraine. Furthermore, there appears to be limited evidence from any broker that supports a price target as high as $2.72 per share.
In conclusion, due to the high volatility of DRO.AU share prices, it remains possible that DRO.AU shares will return to their July high of $2.72, however, it appears that there is no solid evidence to support that this is the likely outcome for this year.
