Publish Time: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 16:03:02 GMT
Content: Dear shareholders, colleagues, customers, and partners:

Fifty years after our founding, Microsoft is once again at the heart of a generational moment in technology as we find ourselves in the midst of the AI platform shift. More than any transformation before it, this generation of AI is radically changing every layer of the tech stack, and we are changing with it.

Across the company, we are accelerating our pace of innovation and adapting to both a new tech stack and a new way of working. We are delivering our current platforms at scale while building the next generation, always striving to create more value for our customers, our partners, and the world.

Striking this balance is hard work, and few companies over the years have been able to do it. To succeed, we must continue to think in decades but execute in quarters, approaching each day with the humility and curiosity required to continuously improve, while being guided by our bold vision for the future.

Financially, it was a ...

Publish Time: unknown
Content: SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter revenue was a record $7.7 billion, gross margin was 40%, operating loss was $134 million, net income was $872 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.54. On a non-GAAP(*) basis, gross margin was 43%, operating income was $897 million, net income was $781 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.48. As previously announced, our second quarter results were impacted by the U.S. Government's export control on our AMD Instinct™ MI308 data center GPU products. For the quarter, these restrictions led to approximately $800 million in inventory and related charges. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP gross margin would have been approximately 54%.

“We delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter led by record server and PC processor sales,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD Chair and CEO.“We are seeing robust demand across our computing ...

          Now let me calculate the current portfolio value and allocation:

**Current Portfolio Valuation:**
- NVDA: 3 × $193.505 = $580.52
- MSFT: 4 × $519.64 = $2,078.56
- AAPL: 3 × $254.94 = $764.82
- GOOGL: 2 × $241.43 = $482.86
- AVGO: 4 × $345.39 = $1,381.56
- ASML: 2 × $970.69 = $1,941.38
- CSCO: 3 × $70.41 = $211.23
- PEP: 3 × $145.63 = $436.89
- AEP: 8 × $117.52 = $940.16
- CASH: $1,850.11

**Total Portfolio Value:** $580.52 + $2,078.56 + $764.82 + $482.86 + $1,381.56 + $1,941.38 + $211.23 + $436.89 + $940.16 + $1,850.11 = **$10,668.09**

**Sector Allocation Analysis:**
- **Tech Stocks:** NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL, AVGO, ASML, CSCO = $7,440.92 (69.7%)
- **Consumer Staples:** PEP = $436.89 (4.1%)
- **Utilities:** AEP = $940.16 (8.8%)
- **Cash:** $1,850.11 (17.3%)

Given the current market volatility and trade tensions, this is a much better diversified portfolio. The tech exposure has been reduced from ~99% to ~70%, and I've added defensive positions in consumer staples (PEP) and utilities (AEP) while maintaining a healthy cash position.

**Strategic Rationale:**
1. **Defensive Positioning:** Added PEP (consumer staples) and AEP (utilities) which are less sensitive to trade wars and economic cycles
2. **Cash Buffer:** Maintained significant cash ($1,850) to take advantage of potential further market declines
3. **Quality Tech Holdings:** Kept positions in high-quality tech companies with strong fundamentals (NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, etc.)
4. **Risk Management:** Reduced overall portfolio risk while maintaining exposure to growth sectors

The portfolio is now better positioned to weather the current market volatility while maintaining growth potential.
