I know this might sound crazy, but today could be even worse than it is. The poor revenue guidance during yesterday\u2019s earnings report from Meta Platforms (META) put stocks on a negative footing, then this morning\u2019s GDP report piled on bad news.  But it was Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s comments about AI that trouble me most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I won\u2019t have the opportunity to fully discuss the GDP report, but I\u2019ll state that the combination of GDP well below expectations coupled with a Core PCE Price Index above expectations raises the specter of stagflation.  I hope tomorrow\u2019s release of the Fed\u2019s preferred PCE Core Deflator proves otherwise.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although META\u2019s $4.71 adjusted EPS beat consensus estimates of $4.55, we\u2019ve come to learn investors look much deeper than EPS, especially for closely watched companies.  Think about this: if roughly 80% of S&P 500 (SPX) beat their estimates in any given quarter, why don\u2019t that many routinely rally after their earnings.  Better than expected EPS is now to be expected, so it behooves investors to look at other metrics in a more granular manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of META, investors focused on two key negatives: lower second-quarter revenue guidance (a range of $36.5-$39 billion, putting its $37.75 midpoint below the estimate of $38.3 billion), and continued willingness to spend on areas like mixed reality and artificial intelligence.  In theory, a modest revenue miss shouldn\u2019t lop 10% off the value of a stock, but when that stock has performed spectacularly well and sports a highly premium valuation, there is little room for disappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the latter issue that caught my attention, along with many other market participants, though perhaps for different reasons.  The issue about spending on mixed reality brought back unpleasant memories of 2022\u2019s swoon when investors were chagrined about META\u2019s expensive and underwhelming foray into virtual reality.  But there was one aspect of Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s commentary<\/a> that struck me as particularly ominous for the recent AI-fueled rally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I also expect to see a multi<\/em>\u2010year investment cycle before we’ve fully scaled Meta AI, business AIs, and more into the profitable services I expect as well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consider this as saying the quiet part out loud.  If META is spending billions on AI development and does not expect to see profitability from those investments for several years, then what hope do most other companies have?  We all got very excited about the potential benefits of artificial intelligence in a wide range of activities, but unless the time and money spent on developing AI tools yields bottom line results, it is entirely possible that the hype will have outpaced the reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those of us who remember the internet bubble should find some familiarity with this concept.\u00a0 The internet was viewed as life-changing and earth-shaking, AND IT WAS!\u00a0 But it took years for the initial hype to morph into real-world productivity for a wide range of companies.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget that two companies that came to dominate wide swaths of the internet, META and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), didn\u2019t yet exist during the height of that mania.\u00a0 Artificial intelligence could well prove as consequential as the internet, but Zuckerberg\u2019s comment should raise concern that investor expectations might once again be outpacing the actual progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of META\u2019s double-digit debacle this morning, we should take a quick look at how the options market is now pricing in earnings for Microsoft (MSFT) and GOOG this afternoon.  Both are now reflecting a sizeable amount of risk aversion \u2013 more than we saw last quarter or even yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of MSFT, the IBKR Probability Lab shows a fairly symmetrical distribution centered around the current at-money value:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implied volatilities for near-term options are quite elevated, implying a roughly 7% post-earnings move when about 4% is normal for MSFT.  Note the increase above last quarter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skews for near-term options show a fair amount of risk aversion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The probability distribution for GOOG is slightly more asymmetric, with the peak just above the current level:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with MSFT, at-money GOOG options are trading well above their historical average, at roughly 8% vs. about 5% average:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, GOOG options are even more skewed than MSFT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line, options traders in GOOG and MSFT have suddenly become far more risk averse.  A double-digit selloff in a Magnificent Seven peer and a broad market dip will do that.  We\u2019ll see tonight and tomorrow if that extra risk aversion was warranted, and whether the bar was lowered sufficiently for these two key companies to surpass it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
