MetaEra highlights this week’s top stocks amid shifting market sentiment and a fear and greed index near neutral. SpaceX reported $7.8 billion in Q2 revenue but fell 10.43% due to AI spending and lockup expiration. SanDisk beat estimates but dropped 10.43% on weak guidance. AAOI surged 19.40% as U.S. import restrictions boosted demand for optical transceivers. Gold rose 3.76% amid expectations of rate cuts. Unitree is moving forward with its IPO, targeting RMB 4.202 billion at a valuation of RMB 40–42 billion. Top altcoins remain under pressure as macroeconomic uncertainty persists.
ME AI Insights: This week, U.S. equities continued to diverge amid earnings season, interest rate expectations, and AI-related volatility. Tech stocks faced pressure from AI capital expenditure concerns and earnings delivery, yet demand for computing power remains supported by major orders from giants like Microsoft and Amazon. Ahead of the jobs data release, markets repriced for rate cuts and risk-off sentiment, pushing gold briefly above $4,300. On the individual stock front: SpaceX’s first post-IPO earnings showed strong growth but were weighed down by lock-up expirations; SanDisk beat earnings but saw its stock decline due to cautious guidance; AAOI strengthened on supply chain news related to optical modules; and Unitree Robotics’ IPO pushed embodied AI back into the spotlight. SpaceX (down ~10.43% this week): Its first post-IPO earnings report revealed Q2 revenue of $7.8 billion, up ~92% year-over-year, with losses better than expected. However, concerns over AI capital spending and the release of over 900 million shares suppressed sentiment, causing the stock to initially drop before rebounding; short-term price movement remains sensitive to float and valuation fluctuations. SanDisk (down ~10.43% this week): FQ4 revenue of $8.97 billion and adjusted EPS of $39.25 both exceeded expectations. However, guidance for next quarter’s revenue and gross margin was deemed insufficiently aggressive, causing the stock to retreat to around $1,306 as market focus shifted from strong results to forward outlooks for AI storage. Gold (up ~3.76% this week): Ahead of the jobs report, markets repriced for rate cuts and risk-off flows, pushing gold from around $4,095 higher, with futures briefly surging above $4,300. Support came from ongoing Middle East negotiations and declining U.S. Treasury yields, as investors continued to treat gold as a macro hedge. AAOI (up ~19.40% this week): News that the U.S. plans to restrict Chinese optical transceiver imports ignited the optical communications sector; AAOI surged nearly 18.9% in pre-market trading. The market continues to focus on scaling production of 800G and 1.6T modules, bringing optical components back to the center of trading activity as AI compute enablers. Unitree Robotics (IPO in progress): Unitree Robotics has entered the issuance and listing phase, aiming to raise approximately RMB 4.202 billion, with a market valuation range of RMB 40–42 billion. Its 2025 revenue forecast of RMB 1.699 billion, along with profitability and humanoid robot shipment cadence, are becoming key benchmarks for sector valuation. (Source: BlockBeats)
