The top five Chinese stocks to watch now


Meta profits

Meta earnings rose 168% compared to the previous year. Revenues were up 23% compared to the previous year, beating slightly, while costs were down 7% compared to the previous year. Meta gave bullish guidance for Q4 revenue. The parent company of Facebook and Instagram slightly trimmed the top end of its capital spending forecast for 2023. It expects capital expenditures to increase in 2024, but not as much as the Street expected. This is potentially bad news for suppliers such as… Arista Networks (network).

Meta stock initially rose after hours, but turned slightly lower. Shares fell 4.2% to 299.53 in Wednesday trading, crossing their 50-day line. Investors can still use 326.50 as a buy point. Aggressive traders can use Tuesday’s high of 318.35 as an early entry point, but market conditions increase the risk significantly.

ServiceNow revenue jumped 49% with revenue up 25%, both leading in views. The business software giant is also guided by subscription revenue

What are you doing now

It’s not very complicated. The market is in a correction phase. Indices are falling, with most blue-chip stocks badly damaged.

Investors should be very careful and have largely, if not all, cash.

Definitely wait for real signals that a downtrend of the market will turn into an uptrend of the market. A strong opening or even a strong day or two is not enough.

If you feel compelled to make purchases, keep them small, don’t buy right out of the park and be prepared to move out quickly.

The market could rebound relatively quickly, especially if earnings and Treasury yields become tailwinds rather than headwinds. Admittedly, the word “if” does indeed carry the burden on this bullish thesis.

What’s the bright side of selling technology on Google’s dark cloud? Some of the potential bad news is being priced in, reducing the level of profits from Amazon and other stocks. But that doesn’t mean stocks can’t go down a lot.

Keep an eye on stocks that are holding up well and showing relative strength. These may be the leaders in the next market rally. Remember, amid a market correction and a massive earnings wave, resilient stocks can suddenly crash. This includes names like Google shares and VRT.
