AMD's Data Center earned $2,882 million on $8,546 million of revenue. Its inventory rose $2,995 million in the same quarter.
AMD's third-quarter 8-K puts revenue at $13,377 million against a guide of about $13 billion, Data Center at $8,546 million with $2,882 million of operating income, and a fourth-quarter guide of about $17 billion, plus or minus 3%. Inventories reached $11,463 million and receivables $9,209 million; operating cash flow fell to $1,202 million. Arista and Supermicro read back against their own filed lines, each with its accession.
Coherent spent $1.10 billion on capex and made $80 million of operating cash. Twelve filed lines, before tonight's print and after Lumentum's.
Coherent reports its September quarter tonight. Lumentum already has: it furnished results on 2 November, filed its 10-Q on 3 November and agreed to merge into Marvell. Coherent's fiscal 2026 operating cash flow was $79.5 million against $1,102.9 million of capex and $11.8 billion of purchase commitments; Lumentum's purchase obligations reached $2.95 billion and one end customer was 37% of revenue. Twelve lines on file, each with its accession.
Supermicro already filed its quarter: $18.5–19.5 billion. Arista's $3.3 billion guide is the line still open.
Supermicro furnished a preliminary first-quarter range of $18.5–19.5 billion on 20 October, against a $14.5–15.5 billion guide, and changed its CFO six days earlier. Arista guided about $3.3 billion and carried $8.4 billion of remaining performance obligations at 30 June. Thirteen filed lines before tonight's prints — ranges, commitments, inventory, concentration, financing and controls — each with its accession.
AMD has $30.3 billion of supplier commitments on file and no dollar backlog. Twelve filed lines before tomorrow's print.
AMD guided Q3 2026 revenue of about $13 billion, plus or minus $300 million. Its unconditional purchase commitments rose from $12.17 billion to $30.28 billion in six months. It files no backlog in dollars, and its remaining performance obligations on contracts longer than a year are $222 million. The OpenAI and Meta agreements sit in the filings as warrants for up to 320 million shares. Since the 10-Q: $4.75 billion of notes and an $8.2 billion all-stock acquisition. Twelve lines, each with its accession.
Microsoft has signed $364.6 billion of leases that have not started: ten times its debt, and in no liability line. How to read the note.
What 'leases that have not yet commenced' are, where each filing puts them, why they sit outside debt and lease liabilities, and how to build lease-adjusted debt as your own arithmetic. Filed figures from Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Alphabet, Amazon and CoreWeave, each with its accession: $1.34 trillion across six notes, and how much four of them moved in one quarter.
Intel Foundry booked $411 million from outside customers in Q3. The 10-Q, not the 8-K, says most of it was one non-recurring contract.
Intel's third-quarter 8-K gives Intel Foundry revenue of $6.7 billion and a $15.0–16.0 billion fourth-quarter guide. The 10-Q filed a day later adds the split: $411 million external, 'primarily' one non-recurring contract, and $6.3 billion from Intel itself. It also adds $19.6 billion of capex commitments, two substrate deals of $5.3–6.1 billion, the Kiryat Gat fab stoppage and the cash and debt after a $22.6 billion equity raise. Ten lines read back, each with its accession.
Amazon put $77.3 billion into property and equipment in one quarter. With Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet: $201.9 billion, against $175.5 billion of operating cash.
Read-back of the 28 October Amazon lines against the 29 October 8-K: AWS revenue of $46.0 billion at a 38.7% margin, purchases of property and equipment of $77.3 billion in the quarter, trailing free cash flow of minus $42.4 billion, and Amazon's first filed capex figure, about $220 billion for 2026. Then the four September-quarter capex lines as filed this month, each with its accession.
Microsoft guided capex 'over $50 billion'. Its 10-Q shows $39.4 billion of property additions. Alphabet spent $51.4 billion and filed no 2026 number.
Read-back of the 26 October preview against the 28 October filings. Microsoft's revenue, both segments and Azure came in above its own September ranges; its cash additions to property and equipment were $39.4 billion against a guide of 'over $50 billion', and leases not yet commenced rose to $364.6 billion. Alphabet's capex was $51.4 billion, free cash flow negative $9.1 billion, Google Cloud revenue $30.7 billion. Twelve lines, each with its accession.
If you hold Amazon for AWS, these are the AWS lines: $496 billion of commitments, $173 billion of capex in a year. Nine filed lines before Thursday's print.
Amazon is expected to report its third quarter on Thursday 29 October. On file before it: AWS revenue of $42.2 billion at a 39.4% margin, about $496 billion of customer commitments with a 6.4-year life, OpenAI and Anthropic expansions of $100 billion or more each, $173.0 billion of property and equipment purchases in twelve months, trailing free cash flow of minus $7.6 billion, $137.2 billion of leases not yet commenced and £4.25 billion of new sterling notes. Each with its accession.
Vertiv's deferred revenue doubled in six months. Twelve filed lines before Vertiv and Amphenol report tomorrow.
Vertiv and Amphenol report Q3 2026 before the US market opens on 28 October. Vertiv files no orders or backlog figure, but its customer prepayments rose from $1.81 billion to $3.63 billion in the first half. Amphenol files orders of $10.7 billion and a 1.23 book-to-bill, but no IT datacom sales figure. Twelve lines on file, each with its accession.
Microsoft and Alphabet: $1.2 trillion of filed backlog, one capex floor and no capex range. Twelve filed lines before the 28 October prints.
Microsoft's remaining performance obligations were $684 billion at 30 June and Alphabet's revenue backlog $519.5 billion. Microsoft has filed a capex floor for one quarter, 'over $50 billion'; Alphabet has filed no capex figure for 2026 at all. Twelve lines on file before both report, each with its accession, including Microsoft's new segments and its restated outlook.
Oracle has $664 billion of RPO and expects about 13% of it as revenue within a year. RPO, deferred revenue and backlog: three numbers that are not revenue.
What remaining performance obligations, deferred revenue and 'backlog' each measure, how they nest, and how to work out the next-twelve-month slice when a company does not file one. Filed examples from Oracle, Microsoft, CoreWeave, Alphabet, Amazon and Micron, each with its accession, plus the sentence Micron attaches to its $134 billion.
Tesla's energy lines made 17% of its third-quarter gross profit on 10% of revenue. The 10-Q moved the capex floor from $25 billion to $20 billion.
Tesla's Q3 2026 filings, the 8-K of 21 October and the 10-Q of 22 October: energy gross profit of $954 million on $2,881 million of revenue, $10.73 billion of energy performance obligations, a 2026 capex outlook now 'in excess of $20 billion' after 'in excess of $25 billion' in July, a $475 million reversal of regulatory-credit revenue, free cash flow of $1.53 billion, $30 billion of undrawn facilities and a board committee on SpaceX. Ten lines read back against the second-quarter filings, each with its accession.
Meta lifted the floor of its 2026 capex range to $135 billion. The $349 billion of commitments under it is not in the 8-K.
Meta's third-quarter 8-K narrows 2026 capital expenditures to $135–145 billion, after $34.91 billion in the quarter and negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion. The range leaves $49–59 billion for the fourth quarter. The $349.31 billion of cloud-capacity and infrastructure commitments, and CoreWeave's $21 billion order, sit in other filings. Ten lines read back, each with its accession.
CoreWeave's newest GPU loan costs SOFR plus 5.50%. Twelve filed lines on its debt, and the demand behind it.
In March CoreWeave borrowed against an investment-grade contract at SOFR + 2.25%. In August it borrowed at SOFR + 5.50% against contracts shorter than the loan. Twelve lines from its 10-Q and 8-Ks on $35.6 billion of debt, what falls due, who pays, the 28 October covenant date, and the demand Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon have filed on the other side. Each figure with its accession.
SAP's cloud backlog grew faster than its cloud revenue. Twelve filed lines before the 21 October print.
SAP reports Q3 2026 on 21 October, a date it filed in its Half-Year Report. Current cloud backlog rose 26% at constant currencies in Q2 while cloud revenue rose 24%, and the two measures that showed what sits beyond twelve months, total cloud backlog and the order-size table, have not appeared in a 2026 quarterly statement. Twelve lines on file, each with its accession.
The 14-week quarter: Micron's revenue rose 31% in a quarter that had one more week. Per week, 21%.
Micron's fiscal fourth quarter ran 14 weeks, Costco's ran 16, PepsiCo's third ran 12 and Nike's is three calendar months. How to find the week count in a 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, how to put quarters of different lengths on a per-week basis, and why a next-quarter guide can look like a slowdown when it is not. Every figure from the filings, with accessions.
TSMC printed US$46.72 billion at 31.98 NT dollars. The exchange rate we said to read first barely moved.
TSMC's third-quarter 6-K puts revenue at NT$1,494.24 billion, exactly the sum of its three monthly reports, and US$46.72 billion at an average rate of 31.98 against an assumed 32. Gross margin 66.4%, operating margin 58.7%, 2nm at 8% of wafer revenue, HPC at 68%, a Q4 guide of US$52.3–54.3 billion and a full-year outlook moved to around 44%. Our twelve pre-print lines read back, plus ASML's Q3, each figure with its accession.
JPMorgan raised its guide and cut its buybacks. Wells Fargo held. The nine bank lines, read back.
All six big banks have filed their third-quarter 8-Ks. JPMorgan moved its 2026 net interest income outlook to about $106.2 billion and cut net buybacks to $664 million; Wells Fargo held +/- $50 billion and added a fourth-quarter figure of about $13 billion. Reserve builds, card charge-offs, CET1 ratios and buybacks read back against our 12 October preview, every figure with its accession.
TSMC's Q3 revenue is already filed in NT dollars. The exchange rate writes the US-dollar headline.
TSMC guided Q3 2026 revenue of US$44.6–45.8 billion and margins at an assumed 32 NT dollars to the US dollar. Its July, August and September revenue 6-Ks already add up to NT$1,494.24 billion. Twelve lines on file before the print — the guide, the FX assumption, the monthly sum, platform, node and geography mix, capex, the ADR ratio and ASML's supply-side guide — each with its accession.
Micron's 10-K put a number on the contracts: $134 billion. The next sentence says not to read it as revenue.
Micron's FY2026 10-K answers the six lines its earnings release left open. Remaining performance obligations went from about $5 billion in May to about $134 billion, with a disclaimer that survived word for word. Plus $12.75 billion of deposits repayable 2029 to 2031, a rewritten price risk factor, the patent licence, the customer table, and a $35.16 billion buyback authorisation that appears in no 8-K. Every figure from the filings, with accessions.
Six big banks report this week. Two of them filed a number to be judged against.
Before JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley report the third quarter, nine lines already sit in their filings: the only two full-year net interest income guides, the step each one needs in the second half, a $5.6 billion one-off in JPMorgan's base quarter, the unemployment rate the reserves assume, lending to nonbank financial firms, and capital ratios that fell while buybacks ran. Every figure from 8-Ks and 10-Qs, with accessions.
Is AI eating SaaS? Nine filed lines to read before the October–December prints.
Ten software companies, nine lines each, all from their latest 10-Q, 10-K, 20-F or 6-K with accessions. Subscription revenue is still growing at every one of them. What has changed is the wording: two 10-Ks added the same sentence about AI-native rivals that 'bypass traditional business process workflows', ServiceNow dropped 'priced on a per user basis', and Workday's gross retention slipped a point. The calendar runs from SAP on 21 October to Adobe in December.
Accenture's margin jumped 3.7 points. 3.5 of them were last year's severance charge.
Accenture's Q4 FY26 8-K shows GAAP operating margin of 15.3% against 11.6%, and GAAP EPS up 46%. Against last year's adjusted figures the margin is up 0.2 points and EPS 9%. The year's buybacks, dividends and acquisitions came to $16.45 billion against $11.62 billion of free cash flow, and long-term debt doubled to $10.0 billion. Every figure from the filing, with accessions.
Nike's revenue fell 4%. The guide says the next three quarters fall faster.
Nike's FQ1 FY27 8-K carries more than the press release headline. Revenue of $11,213 million fell 4% while EBIT held at $907 million. Item 2.05 commits about $1.0 billion of new charges through fiscal 2031. And the full-year outlook, a high-single-digit decline, implies the remaining three quarters fall roughly 8% to 11%. Every figure from the filing, with accessions.
Micron's extra week cut both ways. Twelve filed lines, read back against the print.
Micron's FQ4 2026 revenue of $54,229 million is up 30.8% on the quarter, but the quarter ran 14 weeks: per week it is +21.5%. The FQ1 2027 guide of $61.5 billion ± $1.5 billion reads +13.4%, and per week it is +22.1%, because that quarter is 13 weeks. The twelve lines from our preview, answered from the 8-K exhibit where it can, and marked 'waits for the 10-K' where it cannot.
Micron's next quarter is 14 weeks, not 13. Twelve filed lines to read before the print.
Micron guided FQ4 2026 revenue of $50.0 billion ± $1.0 billion, gross margin ~86% and GAAP EPS of $30.73 ± $1.00 in its own 8-K exhibit — for a quarter the 10-Q says runs 14 weeks and ended 3 September. Four times running, the print has landed above the top of that company-filed range. Twelve lines already on file, each with its accession and the question it sets up.
Price, not bits: one memory maker's revenue rose 251% while the exabytes it shipped stayed flat
Micron files DRAM up 343% as a low-260% range price rise on a low-20% range bit rise. Sandisk files 251% on a 248% ASP increase with exabytes 'flat'. Western Digital, same period end, files the mirror image — 34% more exabytes, 9% more price. Dell is the only SEC filer in 2026 to put 'inflation' next to 'memory'; Alphabet, Meta and Oracle never use the word at all. And the filer now writing 'take-or-pay' told the SEC in 2023 that customers were 'generally reluctant' to sign one. Every figure read from the filing, with accessions.
Inference is moving to CPUs: one filed sentence, zero 10-Q mentions, and a $5.0 billion stake
The phrase 'CPU inference' has never appeared in an SEC filing — not once since EDGAR full-text search begins in 2001 — while 'inference workloads' went from 49 documents to 340 in a year. Intel's Q2 2026 10-Q never uses the word and explains a 59% data-center jump as a 48% ASP rise with 9% more volume. Amazon routes inference to Trainium and Graviton to 'CPU-intensive workloads behind' agentic AI. Dell quietly added 'inferencing' to its general-purpose server line in June. Every figure read from the filing, with accessions.
The AI data center owns itself: six operating companies, one circular 13F map
Only six companies in the AI data-center chain file their own Form 13F. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026: 99.98% of NVIDIA's $63.4B disclosed book is its own suppliers and customers, NVIDIA and SoftBank hold $42.1B of Intel against $7.0B paid, Amazon is X-energy's largest 13F filer and also its priority-queue customer, and Cisco has reported the same 1,063,980 CoreWeave shares for five straight quarters. Every figure read from the filed information tables, with accessions.
Seven database calls, no forecast: what our AI valuation agent actually does
A real Amazon run, tool call by tool call, straight out of production — the filed statements it pulled, the range it built, the risks it named, and the eight-step protocol we recommend for working with it.
Broadcom’s AI quarter: the exhibit, and what the 10-Q owes
Broadcom furnished $29.6B of Q3 FY2026 revenue and $16.7B of AI semiconductor revenue. The Q3 10-Q is not filed yet. What the Q2 10-Q already adds.
Oracle's RPO grew 363%. The 12-month share went 10% to 12%.
Before Oracle's Q1 FY2027 print, the FY2026 10-K already fixes RPO at $638 billion, capex at $55.7 billion, free cash flow at negative $23.7 billion.
Cisco’s AI orders converted. Mix is the next test.
The June CSCO thesis asked whether hyperscaler AI-infrastructure orders would show up as revenue. The FY2026 10-K answers in mix terms: approximately 6% of revenue versus less than 2% a year earlier. Exhibit 99.1 printed $9.3 billion of FY2026 orders and approximately $4 billion of AI-infrastructure revenue. Not a price call.
Dell raised its year by $25 billion. Half-year free cash flow moved by $8 million.
Q2 FY27 from the filings: revenue $47.0B (+58%), AI-optimized servers $16.4B, $60.9B of orders and a $95B backlog, and a full-year guide lifted from $167B to $192B — beside operating cash flow down 13%, free cash flow down 47%, and an $8.1B 'adjusted free cash flow' that is 88% add-back. Plus inventories doubled, payables up $16B, and $4.2B returned against $3.4B of net new debt.

Three clouds, one quarter: $135 billion of capex, $258 billion of debt, and the revenue that has to carry it
Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft filed the same June quarter. Side by side: where each company's revenue and operating income actually come from, how fast the cloud lines are growing, what the capex did to free cash flow (two of three went negative), who borrowed and who sold stock, the $1.2 trillion of signed cloud demand, and the AI-lab valuation gains now sitting inside net income.
Marvell printed $2.74 billion and a $3.15 billion guide. The filings show who is paying for the ramp.
Q2 FY27 from the filings: revenue $2.739B (+37%), Data Center $2.17B (+46%), a $3.15B guide with gross margin guided down — plus NVIDIA's $2B convertible preferred, a growing Celestial earn-out, stock comp that doubled, and a share count up 6%. The stock fell about 6% after hours, inside the ±12% the options priced.
NVIDIA filed $96 billion. The $105 billion fine print is redacted.
Q2 FY27 from the filings: revenue $96.2B (+106%), Data Center $89.0B, a $108B guide — and the residual-value guaranty exhibit we said would go public did, with its three load-bearing numbers redacted. Plus $366B of commitments, 60-day receivables and $25B of new notes beside $26B of buybacks.
From 15% to 5.9%: the three years in which Wall Street decided a GPU is real estate
The trillion-dollar shadow-debt machine has one load-bearing assumption: that AI compute is a durable, financeable asset. GPU lending rates collapsing from 15% to under 6%, NVIDIA guaranteeing residual values, and depreciation schedules quietly stretching — the bull case, the failure chain, and the six dials to watch.
NVIDIA reports Wednesday. The real event is an exhibit, not a number.
Five things to read in NVIDIA's Q2 FY27 filing: the $105B guaranty's fine print goes public for the first time, customer concentration, the 42%→22% geography flip, a doubling investment book, and an $81.6B base. From the filings, not the stream.
The trillion dollars that isn't on any balance sheet: mapping hyperscaler shadow debt, LLC by LLC
Meta's $27.3B Beignet bond shows on Meta's books as a $2.9B investment. Microsoft's $66.6B of finance leases sit in 'other liabilities'. Alphabet's $43.8B of backstops carry at $815M. SpaceX's GPU leases got forced back on-book by its own auditor. And $1.09 trillion of signed data-center leases appear on no balance sheet at all. The full map, from filings.
The hyperscaler flip: buybacks went to zero, the bond desk took over — except at Microsoft
Filed cash-flow statements show Alphabet, Meta and Oracle taking share repurchases to zero while Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Oracle raised roughly $210 billion of debt in their latest reported periods. Microsoft is the only hyperscaler that raised nothing and kept buying back.
The 8-K is a capped residual-value guaranty that starts in 2028 — not NVIDIA guaranteeing $105B of OpenAI’s rent
NVIDIA’s August 17 8-K files residual-value guaranties on 4.25 GW at Portsmouth, cumulatively capped at $105 billion, effective on lease commencement, payments expected beginning in 2028. The Form of the Agreements is not filed yet. Not a price call.
SpaceX unlocks Wednesday: 319 million shares meet a 4.8% float
Everyone argues about SpaceX's multiple. The filed document that matters this week is a lockup table: on August 20 the first 319 million locked shares become sellable into a float of just 639 million, and by December the float is roughly eight times today's. The 424B4 schedule, the 10-Q share count, the Tesla-multiple math, and what the options market is quietly doing about all of it.
New on EvidInvest: options positioning for every stock, an unusual-activity scanner, and 13F holder pages
Three new surfaces, all free: per-company options positioning (put/call ratios, walls, IV) under every valuation page, a market-wide unusual options activity scanner updating every 15 minutes, and institutional 13F ownership pages for every ticker.
The first print left the funding question open. The 10-Q cash-flow statement is the chapter: $100,291 million of financing
The August 6 first-print post left the funding question open. SpaceX's first 10-Q as a public company answers it in the cash-flow statement: $100,291 million of first-half financing, $25,000 million of SpaceX Notes at a 5.350%–6.650% coupon, preferred converted at the IPO. Q2 13F holders land with the 13Fs. Not a price call.
Who owns SpaceX now: 1,752 funds had to say — and one of them is 83% SpaceX
The Q2 13F deadline was the first quarter every institution holding SpaceX's public stock had to disclose it. Updated with the complete census: 1,752 filers, $570B disclosed, Alphabet the largest single holder at $94.18B, Valor at $86B, NVIDIA itself at $21B — and 46 funds with over a fifth of their book in the stock. Every figure from filed 13Fs.
A thesis you can keep watching as 10-Qs land — shown on AMD and NVDA
Alert feeds tell you a 10-Q landed. They do not tell you what it did to the thesis you actually hold. Thesis Monitor scores written criteria against each new filing — demonstrated on AMD's August 10-Q and NVIDIA's May 10-Q. Not a price call.
The space economy just filed a full quarter: Rocket Lab's record backlog, the satellite AST wrote off, and an $8B bet on Iridium
Rocket Lab filed record Q2 revenue of $234M and a $2.36B backlog the same night AST SpaceMobile disclosed a $125.9M write-off for a satellite lost at launch. With SpaceX's first public print filed a week earlier and Rocket Lab's $8B Iridium deal in the works, the space economy now reports in accession numbers. Every figure cited to the filings.
SpaceX's first public print answered the S-1's question: the AI segment that lost billions just turned positive — on $15.8B of quarterly capex
SpaceX's maiden quarter as a public company: revenue $7.8B up 92%, net loss narrowed to $541M, Adjusted EBITDA $3.5B up 191%. The AI segment the S-1 showed deep in the red flipped to positive Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1B — funded by $15.8B of AI capex in a single quarter. Starlink hit 12M subscribers. Every figure from the filed 8-K exhibit.
Axon Q2 2026: ten straight quarters above 30% — revenue $904M, AI up ~700%, guidance raised again
Axon's filed Q2 2026: revenue up 35% to $904M — the tenth consecutive quarter above 30% — with ARR up 39% to $1.6B, AI Era revenue growing ~700%, Dedrone past $100M, and full-year guidance raised to 32-34%. The stock-comp line under the 3.3% net margin is the part worth reading.
AMD Q2 2026: data center revenue doubles to $6.7 billion — and the guide says it isn't done
AMD's filed Q2 2026: revenue $11.5B with Data Center up 107% to $6.7B, GAAP EPS $1.38, and a Q3 guide of ~$13B — roughly 41% growth. Gaming fell 31% the same quarter the AI segment doubled. The filed numbers behind the after-hours noise.
Gartner Q2 2026: the $860M asterisk didn't repeat — EPS up 33%, contract value accelerating, guidance raised into a strong dollar
Follow-up to yesterday's preview: Gartner's filed Q2 shows diluted EPS $4.14 (+33.1%), contract value growth accelerating to +1.7% FX-neutral, revenue swinging back to +2.8% adjusted, another $547M of buybacks, and raised full-year guidance. The preview's numbers, closed against the filing.
The headline is AMD’s $11.2B guide. The filing is a 160M-share warrant at $0.01 — Aug 4 data-center wave (AMD, ANET, WDC, GFS, SMCI)
If you trade Tuesday’s AI-infra prints off headlines, the filings already set the bars: AMD Q1 Data Center $5.8B (+57%) plus a Meta performance warrant for up to 160M shares at a penny; ANET’s 75%-fewer-racks claim; WDC gross margin 45.7%→50.2%; GFS guiding $1.76B; SMCI’s >$60B orders with a cancellable-orders caveat. Research, not tips.
UNH’s 86.7% MCR had an $860M asterisk — plus Axon and Gartner still live Aug 4
If you took UnitedHealth’s 86.7% medical care ratio at face value, the filing adds a catch: $860M of net favorable prior-period development helped it. Axon reports off Q1 $807M (+34%, ninth straight 30%+ quarter); Gartner off contract value $5.3B but revenue down 1.5%. Research, not tips.
SpaceX’s first public print has no precedent — but the S-1 already graded it: $18.67B revenue, an AI segment losing $6.4B, a $19.6B spectrum bet
If you plan to trade SPCX’s maiden earnings Tuesday, the S-1 is the only scoreboard that exists: FY25 revenue $18.67B, Starlink $11.39B (+50%), AI deep in losses after the Feb 2 xAI merger, and a ~$19.6B EchoStar spectrum deal pending. GHM already filed record $532.6M backlog, ~85% Defense. Research, not tips.
Apple Q3 FY2026: the strongest June quarter ever — iPhone up 22%, a 50% gross margin, and a tariff asterisk worth reading
Apple's filed Q3 FY2026: revenue up 16% to $109.4B with June-quarter records for iPhone, Mac and Services, EPS up 29% to $2.02, and gross margin at 50.1% — including roughly 2 points and $0.11 of EPS from tariff refunds the filing itemizes.
Amazon Q2 2026: AWS at its fastest growth in 18 quarters — and free cash flow just went negative
Amazon's filed Q2 2026: AWS accelerated to 37% growth at a 39.4% margin, operating income rose 43%, and net income hit $62.6B on a $53.4B Anthropic gain. The same exhibit shows trailing free cash flow at negative $7.6B after a $66.1B capex increase the filing attributes primarily to AI.
The order books nobody reads: $1 trillion of signed AI demand, straight from the filings
Oracle $638B RPO. Microsoft $678B commercial RPO, filed this week. Micron's $100B take-or-pay minimums. AWS commitments near $195B. Google Cloud backlog compounding. The AI bubble debate ignores the one thing that is actually signed.
Meta Q2 2026: revenue up 28%, profit down 14%, free cash flow $784 million — the quarter the AI bill landed
Meta's filed Q2 2026: revenue grew 28% to $60.8B at the top of guidance, but $31.1B of quarterly capex consumed 97% of operating cash flow, operating margin fell from 43% to 31%, and the exhibit now discloses $83.7B of long-term debt and an 8,000-person headcount reduction.
Microsoft Q4 FY2026: Azure crosses $100 billion, the order book hits $678 billion — the other side of the AI capex trade
Microsoft's filed Q4 FY2026: revenue up 18% to $90.0B with Azure accelerating to 43% growth, commercial RPO up 84% to $678B, and fiscal-year Azure revenue past $100B for the first time. Operating income grew in line with revenue — filed the same day Meta's margin compressed twelve points paying for the same build-out.
The memory supercycle is now signed in contracts: inside Micron's $100B take-or-pay floor
Michael Burry is short Micron. Micron's own filings show $41.5B quarterly revenue, a $50B guide at 86% gross margin, and 16 take-or-pay contracts with roughly $100B of minimum revenue through 2030. We read the documents both sides should be quoting.
Oracle is down two-thirds. Its order book grew 363%. Both are true.
ORCL trades about two-thirds below its high, near its 52-week low, while its filed RPO hit $638 billion, up 363%. The market is not repricing AI demand — it is repricing how the buildout is funded. The filings let you separate the two.
Intel Q2 2026: fastest growth in 15 years, a guide beat on every line — and an $11B paper loss from the government's own shares
Intel's filed Q2 2026: revenue $16.1B up 25%, beating its own guide by $1.3B at the top end, DCAI up 59%, foundry losses narrowing, gross margin 3 points above guide. The GAAP net loss of $11.0B traces to a single $12.5B non-cash mark-to-market on CHIPS Act escrowed shares — every figure cited to the release.
Alphabet Q2 2026: Cloud up 82%, buybacks at zero, and a $49.6B equity raise — the AI build-out has a price tag
Alphabet's filed Q2 2026: revenue up 24% to $119.8B with Google Cloud accelerating 82% to $24.8B and Cloud operating income tripling. The same exhibit shows the funding side — a $49.6B June equity raise, $20.3B of new notes, buybacks stopped at zero, and $145.8B of first-half investing outflows.
IBM Q2 2026: the pre-announcement held — $17.2B revenue, guidance trimmed to 4–5%, IBM Z down 42%
IBM's final Q2 2026 results confirmed the rare July 14 pre-announcement line for line: $17.2B revenue up 1%, GAAP EPS $2.27, operating EPS $2.93. What's new in the final release: full-year growth guidance cut to 4–5% constant currency, a 42% IBM Z decline inside Infrastructure, and $10.5B of acquisitions year to date.
Tesla Q2 2026: $28.2B revenue, deliveries +25% — and free cash flow just went negative
Tesla's Q2 2026 update, straight from the filed press exhibit: revenue up 25% to $28.24B, deliveries at 480,126, services up 50% — against a $0.4B operating income, a regulatory-credit collapse to $146M, and a $5.8B capex quarter that pushed free cash flow to -$1.1B.
IBM and Tesla report tomorrow. One already pre-announced a −7% Infrastructure miss; the other already filed a SpaceX chip-fab partnership.
IBM’s July 14 8-K triggered a >20% drawdown after preliminary Q2 revenue of $17.2B and Infrastructure −7%. Tesla already printed Q2 deliveries of 480k (+25% YoY) and, in Q1, a SpaceX equity stake plus a joint ‘largest chip fab ever’ plan. Here’s the filing scorecard for July 22.

Meta × Anthropic compute rumor: every Aether number that actually matters
NYT says Meta may lease ~$10B of AI compute to Anthropic. Aether shows no filed Anthropic deal — and a Meta stack of $125–145B 2026 capex, $237.7B cloud/infra commitments, Blue Owl lease-back, AMD Instinct warrant to 6 GW, and an ads engine still funding it.
TSMC Q2 2026: $40.2B revenue, 67.7% GM, Q3 $44.6–45.8B — Aether-backed scorecard, outlook and risks
TSMC printed $40.2B revenue and 67.7% gross margin with HPC at 66%. Using Aether-indexed Form 20-F and the July 16 press release: FY25 baselines, Q3 arithmetic, capex path, and the concentration, export-control, utility and overseas-fab risks that still sit in the filing.
PayPal jumped on a $60.50 Stripe–Advent rumor. The filings show what any buyer is actually bidding on
Reports of a Stripe–Advent cash offer at $60.50 sent PYPL higher. PayPal has not filed a confirmation. What is filed: $1.79T TPV in 2025, Q1 revenue +7% with soft FY26 EPS guidance, and a 10-K that already warned competition intensifies when businesses combine.
IBM's Q2 miss: enterprise Infrastructure fell while AI physical capex crowded out the stack
IBM's July 14 preliminary Q2 shows $17.2B revenue and Infrastructure −7% as clients redirected late-June spend to servers, storage and memory. Red Hat and Distributed Infrastructure grew — the issue is which 'infrastructure' buyers funded.
TSMC Q3 2026 guidance: $44.6–45.8B revenue, 65–67% gross margin — and the Q2 numbers behind it
TSMC guided Q3 2026 to $44.6–45.8B of revenue and 65–67% gross margin on the July 16 call, after Q2 printed $40.2B revenue, 67.7% gross margin and 60.3% operating margin. H1 capex of $26.8B against the unchanged $52–56B 2026 plan, and the pre-earnings baseline the quarter was measured against.
Delta Q2 2026: +14% revenue, −26% EPS — the fuel quarter, in filed numbers
Delta's June-quarter 8-K, read the day it was filed: record $17.7B adjusted revenue up 13.9% on 1% capacity, TRASM +12.4% — colliding with $4.1B of fuel at $3.66/gal (+67%). Adjusted EPS fell 26% while the affirmed full-year guide still promises +20% earnings growth, which quietly demands a strong second half. Every number traces to accession 0000027904-26-000029.
PepsiCo Q2 2026: ignore the +137% EPS headline — the real number is +1%
PepsiCo's Q2 2026 filing, read hours after it hit the SEC: the +137% EPS print is a prior-year impairment base effect the release itself explains. Underneath: core constant-currency EPS +1%, Frito-Lay deliberately trading price for volume share, NA beverage growth that is mostly acquisitions, and an international business carrying the whole quarter. Every number traces to accession 0000077476-26-000037.
Delta reports tomorrow. Its own filings already told you the three numbers that matter.
Delta Air Lines reports June-quarter results July 9. Instead of guessing, we pulled what management filed in April: low-teens revenue growth guided on flat capacity, a ~$1 billion pre-tax profit promise against a $2 billion fuel headwind, and a $6.50–7.50 full-year EPS frame. Here is the scorecard the filings set up — and where it could crack.
PepsiCo reports tomorrow. Watch one filed number: whether people are buying more chips, or just paying more for them.
PepsiCo reports second-quarter results July 9. The filed Q1 showed the first real North America foods volume growth after a long pricing-only stretch — the affordability bet starting to work. Here is the scorecard from the SEC-filed releases: the volume line that matters, the FX tailwind flattering the headline, and the guidance management has now affirmed twice.
Burry shorted Micron. The headlines say he's fighting $100 billion in contracts. The filings say something more interesting.
Michael Burry's Micron short, adjudicated against the SEC record: the $100B contract wall is real and management-stated — but the filed 10-Q shows only a ~$5B minimum, because the wall was signed after quarter close. What's filed, what's only spoken, what's filed for the bears, and where the short thesis survives.
Micron's latest quarter: what the filing says about the memory super-cycle and who pays
Aether + SEC analysis of Micron's record fiscal Q3 2026: $41.46B revenue, 84.6% gross margin, HBM4 in volume, multi-year take-or-pay customer deals, and the memory/HBM supply chain behind the upside — confirmed facts vs inferred thesis.

The bottleneck for AI isn't chips anymore — it's gigawatts. And the power deals are now in SEC filings
Oracle's June 10 earnings printed a $638B backlog and a $90B+ capex plan, then the stock fell ~10% on one question: where does the power come from? We map the AI power constraint through SEC filings — named gigawatt offtake deals (DTE/Oracle 1.4 GW, DTE/Google 1 GW, Amazon's 3.8 GW added, Talen's nuclear fleet) and the cost-allocation mechanism utilities are filing — with evidence labels throughout.
The memory shortage made Micron rich. Now watch who pays — the bill is starting to show up in the filings
DRAM contract prices are up 58–63% and NAND 70–75% in a single quarter — the worst memory squeeze in 15 years. The winner (Micron) is obvious. The second-order story is who absorbs the cost: server OEMs, system builders and PC makers. We trace the squeeze through SEC filings — Super Micro's component-pricing risk language, supplier concentration, and the downstream cost pass-through — and label what's confirmed vs inferred.
