But these things take time<\/strong>. [emphasis mine] So &#8212; but if I were to take a longer-term outlook, I definitely see a big opportunity here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hmmm, where have we heard something like this before?&nbsp; Oh yeah, <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/options\/zuck-says-the-quiet-part-about-ai-aloud-plus-msft-and-goog\/?query=zuck&amp;query_id=b077fbf882712d8573da5b20cf238ab8&amp;index=prod_ibkrcampus_en&amp;user_token=anonymous-ab2cddb6-49e7-4567-a8d5-7379570809cb\">we wrote about<\/a> Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s similar comments after Meta Platforms\u2019 (META) April earnings call:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And I also expect to see a multi<\/em><em>\u2010<\/em><em>year investment cycle before we\u2019ve fully scaled Meta AI, business AIs, and more into the profitable services I expect as well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Comments like these hardly negate the expectation that AI can indeed offer meaningful improvements to the profitability of its key providers.&nbsp; But investors seem to need reminders \u2013 painful reminders, sometimes \u2013 that AI\u2019s contributions to their bottom lines might be years away and more expensive to achieve.&nbsp; And this says little about AI\u2019s contributions to ordinary users.&nbsp; It offers the potential for efficiency, where technology replaces labor.&nbsp; But in practice, at least in the short term, it requires very expensive investments in computing power and well-paid technologists to hopefully replace low-level workers.&nbsp; That can be a difficult thing for investors to swallow, whether from technology providers or users.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I don\u2019t enjoy making comparisons to the current AI enthusiasm with the 2000-era internet bubble because they\u2019re imperfect at best.&nbsp; But there is one that bears repeating.&nbsp; The internet proved to be everything its most wide-eyed advocates hoped for, and more.&nbsp; Yet it took longer for those achievements to reap the returns on investment that investors originally expected.&nbsp; It is also useful to bear in mind that the two internet leaders we\u2019ve discussed thus far \u2013 GOOGL and META \u2013 didn\u2019t even exist during the internet bubble.&nbsp; Could it be that the company that best figures out how to utilize the promise of generative AI exists either in a garage somewhere or even only in a teenager\u2019s imagination?<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, GOOGL\u2019s business in the here and now is doing just fine.&nbsp; Revenues and earnings both beat expectations and grew rapidly, up +13.6% and +32% respectively over the past year.&nbsp; And even after spending a staggering $13.2 billion on capital expenditure, its free cash flow was still $13.4 billion.&nbsp;&nbsp; Despite the disappointment over the pace of AI profitability, this is a huge growth stock that is growing rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the same can\u2019t be said for TSLA.&nbsp; Revenues beat expectations thanks mainly to a surprise bump in regulatory credits, but they are still up only +2.3% from a year ago.&nbsp; Meanwhile, its adjusted EPS of $0.52, which is -28% below the year ago number, missed expectations for the fourth consecutive quarter.&nbsp; TSLA is no longer a growth stock in the classic sense.&nbsp; It\u2019s always been about the future, even when its bottom line was growing exponentially.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that company\u2019s future is also further away than hoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We received official confirmation of the reports that the promised robotaxi unveiling would be postponed from August to October, but also learned that any cars unveiled would only be prototypes.&nbsp; More affordable models won\u2019t be ready until the first half of 2025 at the earliest.&nbsp; A hoped-for humanoid robot won\u2019t be available until at least late 2025.&nbsp; And in a blow to the AI poster child, Nvidia (NVDA), the company reiterated its commitment to its Dojo computer project.&nbsp; If the present is rocky and the future is murky and further away, it\u2019s not a surprise to see the stock selling off sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there any good news today?&nbsp; Perhaps.&nbsp; For starters, we have the Russell 2000 (RTY) and Russell 1000 Value ETF (VONV) only down slightly, so we still see signs of \u201c<a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/its-actually-rotation-despite-the-rout-routation\/\">routation<\/a>\u201d rather than \u201cget me out\u201d.&nbsp; That is echoed by the fact that declining stocks on both the NYSE and Nasdaq are only outpacing advancers by about 1.5:1.&nbsp; Also, at least so far, we are still avoiding <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/pressure-drop\/\">the ever-rare -2% decline in SPX<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if we want to look at a half-full glass, perhaps today\u2019s reaction to GOOGL\u2019s earnings means that expectations for the upcoming earnings in other key AI-related stocks, like META and Microsoft (MSFT), may have come down to earth somewhat.&nbsp; Investors set very high bars for many of their favorites.&nbsp; Perhaps they have been lowered just a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s really no way to sugarcoat this: it\u2019s an ugly day for equity investors.
