Stock Market ETF Strategy And How To Invest
Zoom Earnings
After the close Monday, Zoom Video reported its quarterly results. Zoom earnings jumped to $1.36 per share, topping estimates for $1.16. Revenue came in at $1.02 billion, beating estimates for $991.2 million. Despite the earnings and sales beats, the company offered weaker-than-expected earnings guidance for the current quarter.
Late Monday, Zoom stock fell 12% in response to the company's earnings results.
Zoom stock closed Monday up 2%, ending about 40% off its all-time high, which was set on Oct. 19, 2020, at 588.84. Shares are building a cup with handle with a 406.58 buy point, but are far away from that new entry. The stock is also sharply below its 50-day moving average.
Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch: Home Depot
Dow Jones leader Home Depot is trying to break out past a cup with handle's 333.55 entry, but currently sits just below the buy point, according to IBD MarketSmith chart analysis. The 5% buy area goes up to 350.23.
Shares were up 1.15% Monday.
Stocks To Buy And Watch: Academy Sports, Airbnb, Mercado Libre, Palantir
IPO Leader Academy Sports is trying to break out past a 42.85 buy point in a cup base. Shares briefly topped the entry last week before settling below the buy point. The top retail stock moved up 2.9% Monday and is back in buy range. The 5% buy zone tops out at 44.99.
Academy Sports was featured in last week's IPO Leaders column.
IBD Leaderboard stock Airbnb is back above its 152.86 buy point after falling beneath it in a sharp move Thursday. Leaderboard's analysis noted that the stock's breakout Wednesday came with conviction and strong volume, positive action. Shares rallied 1.2% Monday.
According to IBD Stock Checkup, ABNB stock shows a modest 28 out of a perfect 99 IBD Composite Rating. Newer issues rarely have a sustained earnings track record — which is a key component of the Composite Rating — so a weak rating is normal. The IBD Composite Rating identifies stocks with a blend of strong fundamental and technical characteristics.
Airbnb was Tuesday's IBD Stock Of The Day.
Mercado Libre traded up 0.75% Monday, closing just under a cup with handle's 1,899.43 buy point. MELI stock briefly topped the buy point in Monday trade.
Palantir Technologies is again trying to break out past a cup with handle's 26.04 buy point, according to IBD MarketSmith chart analysis. Shares slashed gains to just 0.2% Monday. The stock's relative strength line remains far from its old highs. Ideally, the RS line should hit a new high on the breakout day.
On Aug. 12, Palantir reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that met expectations, while revenue growth came in above Wall Street targets. Check out Palantir in this week's Stocks Near A Buy Zone column.
