💻 Tech Sector: QQQ up 15.69%, tech stocks performed well
QQQ closed up 15.69% in April. Tech giants' continued investment in AI and strong profitability formed the core fundamentals behind this significant rally. In this month's QQQ gain range prediction, 24% of users guessed correctly!
At the end of the month, five tech giants released earnings. In the revenue growth rate prediction, Meta's quarterly revenue of $56.311 billion and a year-over-year growth of +33.08% took the top spot. The year-over-year revenue growth of all five giants exceeded 15%, but their stock price movements diverged post-earnings, with Google, Amazon, and Apple rising strongly, while Meta and Microsoft fell. Winning the prediction doesn't mean winning the market.
In the Google Cloud Next conference prediction (April 20th - 24th), TSMC performed well, winning with an 8.63% gain that week. Intel's better-than-expected earnings that week, which triggered a single-day surge of over 25%, also catalyzed TSMC's strong performance.
🔥 IPO: Xizhi Technology surged +383.6% on debut
Xizhi Technology closed at HK$886 on its first trading day (April 28th), a massive 383.6% increase from its issue price of HK$183.2, landing in the "+380% ~ +420%" option C, which was also the most popular choice, with over half of participants guessing correctly.
📉 Top 2 Surprises: Coreweave and Huahong Semiconductor surged strongly
In the early-month AI storage sector gain prediction, only 9% of users chose Coreweave, which surged 24.03% that week, narrowly beating SanDisk's 21.41% weekly gain. The explosive power of the new AI cloud contender caught the vast majority off guard.
In the Hong Kong-listed AI infrastructure top four monthly gain prediction, 64% of users bet on Changfei Fiber, but Huahong Semiconductor took the top spot with a strong +46.94% gain. The explosive elasticity of domestic chip self-sufficiency was quite unexpected.
