NVIDIA (NVDA) Pre-Earnings Breakdown | 5 Days Before Earnings: Buy the Dip or Big Risk Ahead?Good morning traders and investors — I’m Norbert B.M., and welcome to Wealth Dome, where I build and protect wealth.With 5 days to go until NVIDIA reports earnings on November 19th, the stock has started pulling back. The question now is simple:Is this a dip worth buying, or is the risk too high heading into earnings?Let’s break down NVIDIA’s fundamentals, technical setup, and option strategies before the big day.⚙️ Why NVIDIA Matters Right NowNVIDIA dominates AI accelerators, data center GPUs, gaming GPUs, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and more.The company sits at the center of the global AI boom — and investors treat it as the “heartbeat” of the entire AI cycle.CEO Jensen Huang (not Jason Wong) has led NVIDIA for decades and transformed it into a $4.5+ trillion giant, with analysts asking whether NVDA can hit $5 trillion by year-end.📊 NVIDIA Last Earnings HighlightsMetricValueRevenue$46BGross Profit$33BOperating Income$28BPre-Tax Income$31BNet Income$26BAdjusted EBITDA75%EPS (diluted)$0.67YoY Net Income Growth+168%📌 Segment Growth* Data Center: $26B (+16% QoQ)* Gaming: $2.9BThese numbers are insane — yet the market reaction last quarter was muted.Why?* Margin compression* Expectations already sky-high📈 NVIDIA Growth Expectations (Annual)YearRevenue Outlook2024: 2.94 → 2.95T2025: Expected 4.55T2026: Expected 6.74T2027: Expected 8.73T2028: Expected 8.01T2026–2027 are the critical years.If NVIDIA fails to “pull another rabbit out of the hat,” growth may taper.🧩 CEO Commentary (Jensen Huang)“Demand remains strong. Anticipation for Blackwell is incredible.Global data centers are in full throttle to modernize with accelerated computing and AI.”Translation: NVIDIA’s future growth relies on Blackwell AI chips becoming a global standard.⚠️ Risks & Pressure Points* China export restrictions* High expectations baked into the stock* Margin compression risk* Valuation stretched heading into earnings📉 Technical Analysis (5 Days Before Earnings)* MACD: Sell signal with growing red bars* RSI: 46 — slightly oversold, but not extreme* Price Action: Bounced off 50-day moving average* Still above: 100-day & 200-day — strong long-term uptrend* Ichimoku: Bullish — price above cloud, Tenkan > KijunSupport Zones* Primary: $170 (just under 100-day MA)* Secondary: $150–$130* Deep Value Zone: $115–$90Sub-$150 would be a massive buying opportunity.💰 Option Strategy (from your transcript)For Nov 21 expiration:* Sell $170 Put → ~ $190–$200 premium* If NVDA stays above $170: keep full premium* If NVDA drops below: you buy NVDA at $170Safer alternative:* Sell $167.50 Put for ~$150 premiumExpected earnings move ~ ±$15🧠 Investor Takeaways* NVIDIA is still riding the AI boom* Growth is exceptional* Expectations are dangerously high* The pullback may be buyable — but not without risk“If you’re holding for 2027–2028, current levels are fine.But a deeper pullback would be an even better gift.”📊 Mentioned StocksNVDA, AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, QQQ, SPX🔗 Relevant Links* NVIDIA Investor Relations* Wealth Dome YouTube💡 Final ThoughtsNVIDIA’s upcoming earnings are one of the biggest catalysts of the year.The potential upside is massive — but so is the volatility risk.“If NVDA dips, I’m buying.

A stock that’s up nearly 480% year-to-date.But is this sustainable — or is IREN getting ahead of itself?Let’s dive in 👇⚙️ From Bitcoin to AI Cloud: The PivotOriginally focused on crypto mining, Iris Energy now uses its vertically integrated power infrastructure to host large-scale GPU clusters in renewable-rich regions.This transition has shifted IREN from volatile mining profits to high-margin, recurring cloud revenue.“It’s not a crypto story anymore — it’s an AI infrastructure story.”💰 The $9.7B Microsoft PartnershipThis is the crown jewel of Iris’s business pivot.* Contract Size: $9.7B over five years* Partner: Microsoft (MSFT)* Purpose: Deliver and operate NVIDIA GB300 GPU clusters for AI and data workloads* Revenue Backlog Visibility: Extremely high — rare for a company of this size“AI startups dream of this kind of guaranteed revenue stream.”This deal effectively transforms Iris Energy into a miniature AI cloud provider with a powerful client base and long-term cash visibility.📊 Financial Snapshot (Q1 2026 Guidance)MetricValueChange (YoY)Revenue$240M+335%Net Income$384MHuge turnaroundNet Margin160%ExceptionalFree Float Shares254M—Long-Term Debt$60MManageablePE Ratio31Reasonable for growthP/S Ratio32High but justified by backlogThis is massive growth, but remember — markets move on expectations, not just results.📉 Valuation vs PeersCompanyPE5-Year AvgCommentIris Energy (IREN)31−2.7From loss to profitBitmain−35696Volatile mining modelApplied Digital (APLD)−44−124UnprofitableMarathon Digital (MARA)65200+Still speculativeIREN clearly leads its group — but the valuation premium reflects that.“Investors are paying for the AI narrative — not the current numbers.”⚠️ Execution Risks* Speed of buildout: Any delay in data center expansion could hurt sentiment.* Power access: Large-scale GPU clusters require reliable, renewable energy.* Supply constraints: NVIDIA GPU shortages could slow deployment.* Overvaluation: Traditional DCF puts IREN closer to $25/share, far below its current $69/share.“The story is strong — but the stock price may be sprinting ahead of reality.”📈 Technical Analysis* Daily Chart: Above 50-day MA, pierced 20-day recently — short-term correction likely.* Weekly RSI: 83 (massively overbought)* MACD: Bearish divergence — potential correction setup.* Support Levels: $60 → $50 → $35 major long-term zone* Resistance: $70–$75 range“The chart suggests a healthy correction is coming.

Cosmetics* Well People* Keys Soulcare* Naturium* Good ChemistryThe company’s focus is affordable luxury — high-quality cosmetics at drugstore prices, sold through Target, Sephora, and e-commerce platforms.But while sales are booming, costs and debt are rising faster than expected.📊 Q2 2025 Earnings Highlights* Net Sales: $343M (+14% YoY, up from $301M)* Gross Margin: 69% (−165 bps YoY)* GAAP Net Income: $3M or $0.05/share* Adjusted EPS: $0.60/share* Adjusted EBITDA: $66M (~19% margin)* Cash: $194M* Long-Term Debt: $831M (up sharply)* FY2026 Sales Outlook: $1.50–$1.57B (+18–20% YoY)📉 Stock ReactionAfter the earnings call, ELF stock plunged:* Closed at $118 pre-market* Dropped to $82 after hours* Rebounded slightly to $92/shareThe selloff came mainly due to rising debt levels and declining margins, despite strong revenue growth.“High growth with high debt is a dangerous combination in a high-rate environment.”⚖️ Fundamentals: The Good, The Bad, The Beautiful✅ Positives:* Strong revenue growth (+14% YoY)* 27 consecutive quarters of growth* Expanding brand presence in U.S., Canada, and U.K.* Omnichannel strategy (Target, Sephora, DTC)⚠️ Negatives:* Margins under pressure (SG&A up to 67% of net sales)* Heavy long-term debt ($831M)* Higher risk if economic slowdown hits* Rising competition from cheaper beauty brands📈 Technical Analysis: ELF at a Crossroads* Previous Close: $118* After-Hours: $92* Support: $73–$80 (potential buy zone)* Resistance: $100–$105* Trend: Broke below 200-day MA — technical damage confirmedThe stock is in the Ichimoku cloud on weekly charts, meaning uncertain momentum.If ELF drops below $80, I’d look for selling puts near $70 — a strategy that allows potential entry at a much lower cost basis.“If assigned, I’d own ELF at a discount. If not, I’d collect premium income while waiting.”💬 CEO Commentary – Tarang Amin“Our results reflect consistency and category-leading growth over 27 quarters, with record-breaking launches at Sephora North America.”Translation: management remains bullish, but margins and debt must be managed carefully to sustain this growth story.📊 Geographic ExpansionRegion2021 Market Share2025 Market ShareU.S.13%45%Canada8%26%U.K.6%19%ELF continues to take share from legacy players like L’Oréal (OR.PA) and Estée Lauder (EL).🧭 Trader Takeaways* 📈 Growth is strong, but debt is rising faster than earnings.* 💰 Watch margins — they tell the real story.* 🧱 Consider options strategies (selling puts) for lower entry risk.* 🕵️‍♂️ Key catalyst: product launches and debt reduction in 2026.“Growth alone isn’t everything — margin control and debt management are what make growth sustainable.”📌 Mentioned StocksELF, EL, OR.PA, TGT, WMT, AMZN🔗 Relevant Links* Wealth Dome YouTube Channel* ELF Press Release Q2 2025🧠 Final ThoughtsELF Beauty is still one of the best-performing retail growth stories — but the rising debt and falling margins are warning signs.This could be a great long-term brand if management reins in leverage. For now, watch for price stabilization before jumping in.“Beautiful brands can become ugly stocks — until they fix their balance sheet.” This is a public episode.

Duolingo (DUOL) Earnings Crash Explained | 41% Growth, 50M Daily Users & Stock Selloff BreakdownGood morning traders and investors — I’m Norbert B.M., and welcome back to Wealth Dome, where we build and protect wealth.Today’s spotlight is on Duolingo (DUOL) — the world’s most popular language-learning app, now expanding into math, chess, and AI-powered education.The company smashed its Q3 2025 earnings report — revenue up 41%, daily active users up 36%, and profits soaring nearly 300 million.So why did the stock collapse right after? Let’s break it down 👇📊 Duolingo Q3 2025 Earnings Highlights* Revenue: $271M (+41% YoY)* Bookings: $281.9M (+33% YoY)* Net Income: $292M (+massive YoY jump)* Adjusted EBITDA: $80M (+29%)* Daily Active Users: 50M (+36%)* Monthly Active Users: 135M (+20%)* Paid Subscribers: 11.5M (+34%)* Subscriber Penetration: 9%Incredible growth. Yet the stock dropped more than 25% in a single day.💬 Management Commentary“We passed a major milestone — more than 50 million people now use Duolingo every day.”“We are prioritizing user growth over monetization. AI will fundamentally change how we teach.”CEO Luis von Ahn emphasized long-term vision over short-term profits — mirroring Amazon’s playbook in its early days.That’s great for growth. But Wall Street wants profits now.🧮 Financial Reality CheckWhile revenue is soaring, Duolingo is reinvesting heavily in user acquisition and AI development:* Higher SG&A Costs: Eating into margins* Shift Toward Free Users: Slower near-term monetization* AI Expansion: Heavy R&D expenseThis is what caused the selloff — not bad fundamentals, but a shift in focus.“When growth companies pivot toward investment mode, short-term traders panic — long-term investors celebrate.”🧠 The Bigger Picture: AI in EducationDuolingo isn’t just a language app anymore.The company’s AI-driven platform now teaches math, music, and chess — using adaptive learning and gamification.Their mission:“To develop the best education in the world and make it universally available.”That’s an ambitious (and expensive) goal — but potentially revolutionary.🧩 Stock Performance* 1 Day: −25%* 5 Days: −27%* 1 Month: −40%* 6 Months: −61%* YTD: −40%* All-Time (since IPO 2021): −37%From $520 highs to $192/share, DUOL is now trading below its IPO range — with RSI near 19 (oversold).Technical Setup:* RSI: Oversold (<20)* MACD: Bearish crossover* Support: $175–$185* Resistance: $210–$220* Pattern: Gap fill possible toward $220“Oversold doesn’t mean reversal — but it means opportunity for patient traders.”⚙️ Option Strategy ExampleIf you believe in the long-term story:* Sell December 150 Put: Collect ~$305 premium* Or create Synthetic Stock: Buy Jan 2027 85 Call / Sell Dec 24 130 Call→ Approx. cost: $8,500 vs. $19,000 for 100 sharesGoal: Leverage upside with controlled downside risk.📌 Mentioned StocksDUOL, AMZN, AAPL, GOOGL, SPX🔗 Relevant Links* Duolingo Investor Relations* Wealth Dome YouTube Channel* Duolingo Q3 2025 Shareholder Letter🧠 Final ThoughtsDuolingo’s growth story is far from over — it’s just entering its next phase.Yes, short-term volatility hurts. But for long-term investors, this could be a rare opportunity to buy a premium education tech brand at a discount.“AI, education, and community-driven learning — Duolingo is building the future of learning, one lesson at a time.”🎥 YouTube SetupHigh CTR Title:🔥 Duolingo (DUOL) Earnings SHOCK! | 41% Growth, 50M Users & Massive Stock CrashDescription (SEO Optimized):Duolingo (DUOL) just reported incredible Q3 2025 results:* 41% revenue growth* 50M daily users* Profits up 300%So why did the stock crash over 25%? In this video, I break down the financials, CEO comments, and technical analysis to reveal what’s next for DUOL.📊 Mentioned: DUOL, AMZN, AAPL, GOOGL, SPX💡 For educational purposes only — not financial advice.🔔 Subscribe to Wealth Dome for weekly earnings breakdowns & portfolio insights.#stocks #investing #duolingo #earnings #ai #wealthdome This is a public episode.

Hey Wealth Dome readers,Eli Lilly (LLY) just dropped a bombshell—both good and bad. The Q2 2025 earnings were stellar on paper, yet the market punished the stock with a 14% post-earnings sell-off. Let's dive into the key metrics, chart analysis, sentiment, and my short-, medium-, and long-term price predictions.🧾 Earnings Highlights – Q2 2025* Revenue: $15.6 billion (+38% YoY)* Non-GAAP EPS: $6.31 (+61% YoY)* Full-year guidance: $60B–$62BStar products Mounjaro and Zepbound continue to drive growth, but the market reaction tells a different story...❌ Why Did Eli Lilly (LLY) Stock Crash?The sell-off was triggered by disappointment in the oral version of its GLP-1 weight loss drug, Orforglipron, which showed only 11.5% placebo-adjusted weight loss, lagging behind Novo Nordisk’s (NVO) injectable alternatives (14–15%).Investor sentiment tanked due to:* Weaker-than-expected weight-loss results* Concerns over long-term efficacy* Skittishness from a previously overbought chart📉 Chart & Technical AnalysisCurrent Price: ~$633RSI: 25 (deeply oversold)Major Moving Averages: Below 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day MAsKey Resistance Levels:* $680–$700 (23.6% Fibonacci)* $750 (38.2% Fibonacci)* $800 (50% Fibonacci)If these levels break, we could see LLY either bounce or enter a multi-year correction.📈 Price Predictions (Not Financial Advice)Short-Term (1–4 weeks): Rebound to $680–$700Medium-Term (1–3 months): Range-bound between $650–$760Long-Term: Only bullish if $800 level is retested and held. Be cautious if 200-day MA breaks on the 5Y chart.⚠️ Final ThoughtsWhile earnings are strong, sentiment rules the short-term game. Orforglipron’s underwhelming results have spooked investors, despite LLY’s solid fundamentals.Personally, I’m not bullish on the stock, but I’ll share any trades I make in the Weekend Edition. Stay cautious out there.—Noble B.M.I protect wealth. This is Wealth Town.🔗 Mentioned Links* Eli Lilly (LLY) IR Page* Mounjaro Drug Info* Zepbound Drug Info* Orforglipron Overview This is a public episode.
