AI infrastructure investment is booming, and stellar earnings from two leading companies confirm this trend.

Teradyne $TER

The company makes testing equipment for semiconductors and robotics.

They just beat Q3 revenue with $769.2 million against the expectations of $743.8 million. It now expects growth to pick up from here to 27%, citing AI-related test demand and its impact across its compute, networking and memory segments. It expects revenue for current quarter of between $920 and $1 billion, ahead of the $815.3 million analysts expected.

Celestica $CLS

The company makes connectivity and cloud solutions. The company boosted its outlook and reported a gain in Q3 revenue and profit driven by growing demand for artificial intelligence hyperscalers. The electronics manufacturing services company now expects Q4 revenue of $3.33 billion to $3.58 billion, with adjusted EPS between $1.65 and $1.81. Analysts were expecting revenue of $3.08 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.51.

CFO Mandeep Chawla on an earnings call credited the rise in Celestica’s outlook to the ramping up of a next-generation program for hyperscaler application in AI and machine learning computing power, which is the hardware resources used to train, run, and scale the software. Celestica is seeing its largest and fastest-growing market presence within AI data centers, where it supports high-performance networking and customer computing platforms.

Amazon after Q3 Earnings

Amazon stock just hit a new record high. A summary of its earnings report –

Amazon stock hit a record close after reporting better-than-expected earnings results. Amazon stock is up only 12% so far this year, underperforming the 23% rise for the Nasdaq Composite.

For Q3, the company reported EPS of $1.95, compared to Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $1.57. Revenue came in at $180.2 billion, which was ahead of analysts’ expectations of $177.9 billion. AWS sales skyrocketed 20% to $33 billion, super-charged by healthy demand for AI training and Amazon’s homegrown Trainium chips which saw a stellar 150% jump in sales from the prior quarter. CEO Andy Jassy said AWS is gaining momentum with more companies shift their biggest workloads to Amazon’s cloud for its performance and reliability.

“We continue to see strong demand in AI and core infrastructure, and we’ve been focused on accelerating capacity,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a press release. Jassy said the company has doubled AWS capacity measured by power from 2022 and is on track to double capacity again by 2027. The company now expects capital expenditures to come in at $125 billion for the full year, ahead of the current Wall Street forecast for $117.5 billion.

Is the turnaround on homebuilders for real? $LEN $PHM $DHI $TOL $HD $LOW all showed good relative strength in the last few days. Also, on Friday Buffett’s Berkshire disclosed it had bought shares of D.R. Horton and Lennar in Q2. Are the selloff among those stocks had gone too far? The home building industry has been hurt by rising mortgage rates, and an uncertain economic outlook as unemployment is edging higher.

I think the strength in home building stocks will continue specially if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates next month. Another catalyst is that President Trump is floating the idea of removing capital-gains taxes on home sales which will hugely be a plus to spur the housing market.

Take a look at the weekly chart of Lennar. Do you see a turn around?
