Why EVgo (EVGO) Stock Is Trading Up Today
What Happened? Shares of electric vehicle charging company EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO) jumped 3.1% in the morning session after it secured a $225 million credit facility to accelerate the buildout of its nationwide electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The proceeds from the deal were earmarked to accelerate the deployment of more than 1,500 additional high-power fast charging stalls nationwide. This transaction was noted as the largest commercial bank facility for electric vehicle charging in the United States. The five-year credit facility, which was oversubscribed, also included an option to increase the total financing by $75 million to $300 million. The strong interest from the participating global project finance banks signaled significant lender confidence in the company's expansion plans and the future of EV infrastructure. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $3.59, down 0.4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy EVgo? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us EVgo's shares are extremely volatile and have had 56 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 32.6% on the news that the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which beat analysts' sales and EBITDA expectations. In addition, full-year EBITDA guidance outpaced Wall Street's estimates. What really stood out was how much more energy people used at its chargers, as network throughput jumped 60%. That helped push revenue up 36%, led by a big rise in charging fees as more cars plugged into EVgo's growing network of stations. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives. EVgo is down 14.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.59 per share, it is trading 59.9% below its 52-week high of $8.94 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of EVgo's shares at the IPO in November 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $365.39. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

AMD Stock Jumps as AI Chip Prices Soar Ahead of Q2 Earnings
July 28 - Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) shares leapt about 3.5% Monday after word broke that the chipmaker plans to boost the price of its Instinct MI350 AI accelerator from $15,000 to $25,000, a hefty 67% bump. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with AMD. HSBC analysts first flagged the dramatic price move, noting that even at $25,000 the MI350 undercuts Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) Blackwell B200. Such a bold premium suggests AMD sees robust demand for its AI gear and could translate into significant revenue upside in its next quarterly release. Wells Fargo's Aaron Rakers and his team wasted no time reaffirming their bullish stance. They point to the freshly launched MI355X GPUs, shipping since June, as the linchpin for AMD's August 5 Q2 report. Market watchers will zero in on how swiftly customers embrace MI355X to gauge second?quarter momentum. Looking ahead, Rakers forecasts roughly $1.65 billion in data?center GPU sales in fiscal Q3 2025, marking modest year?on?year growth. That outlook already factors in an $800 million drag from export limits on MI308X shipments to China, pending license renewals. Any green light there could inject fresh upside into AMD's back half. The MI350 price hike and MI355X rollout reinforce AMD's bid for a larger slice of the $500 billion AI compute pie. As AMD vies with Nvidia on performance and value, its ability to command heftier prices without ceding market share will set the tone for next week's earnings call.

Amazon Q2 Earnings Preview: What to Expect From Upcoming Report
July 28 - Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is set to release Q2 2025 earnings on July 31, following the closing bell. Wall Street projects about $162 billion in revenue, up roughly 9.5% from a year earlier and sitting near the top of management's $159164 billion forecast. Operating income estimates center on $16.7 billion, a 13.8% lift driven largely by AWS and the ad division, while adjusted EPS of $1.32 would mark an 8% rise. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with AMZN. Analysts have grown more bullish ahead of the report. Morgan Stanley elevated Amazon to its premier internet stock, highlighting the cloud unit's AI momentum. Baird's Colin Sebastian kept his Outperform stance, raising his target to $244 thanks to Project Kuiper's promise. Bank of America also nudged its price objective to $265, reaffirming a Buy rating. In the center of the story, AWS keeps growing its AI library. The unit manufactures bespoke Inferentia and Trainium processors, and provides such services as Amazon Bedrock and Nova. The company has been keen on competing with Google Cloud (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Microsoft Azure (NASDAQ:MSFT) as evidenced by a recent investment of 100 million dollars in the Generative AI Innovation Center. Despite the macro uncertainty, the company should continue to experience robust mid?single?digit earnings growth over 2026, based on cloud adoption through the lens of AI and stronger ad sales.
