2 NASDAQ earning reports to watch in OctoberIt’s that time of year again; earning session for US stocks. With so many other variables contributing to volatility in the US markets (e.g., inflation , Fed rate hikes, recession, oil prices, quantitative easing), anything out of the ordinary can result in huge moves in stock prices. This has already been witnessed in an early report from Nike (NYSE: NKE ) last week, where it missed on some metrics and was punished with a -12.8% fall in its stock price. So, with this in mind, here are two earning reports to watch this October. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD ) AMD updates the market with its earnings on Tuesday October 25, alongside some of the other major companies on the NASDAQ, including Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG ). AMD shares fell +23% in September, partly impacted by the weak report from sector compatriot Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU). It is the weak demand outlook that Micron painted for personal-computer products that makes AMD’s upcoming announcement one to watch. Similarly, Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM ) is reporting on October 13, which could serve as another barometer for the industry before AMD delivers its report. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) It may be a make or break earnings report for Netflix on Tuesday 18 October. Netflix shares climbed +8.4% over September, and over +30% since its last market update in June, where it reported a loss of almost 1 million subscribers. In fact, Netflix was one of the top S&P 500 performers last month, where the broader market index fell by -8.0%. In the upcoming announcement, investors will be looking out for more details concerning the company’s plan to diversify its revenue base with ad-tier subscription and its heretofore mild penetration into the gaming space. Some surveys point to almost half of Netflix’s subscribers considering a switch to the company’s ad-tier plans, which would mean that Netflix would have to fill that subscriber revenue gap by selling $5.4 billion worth of ad space.

Sell-off Exhausted | TeslaUS markets ( S&P 500 Index +0.3%) ended Wednesday in the green after a choppy session, perhaps exhausting the extreme sell-off sentiment from the previous day. The unexpected result from the US inflation report released on Tuesday had prompted speculation that stocks could start to head back to their June lows in reaction to a more aggressive Federal Reserve . Tesla (+3.4%) was one of NASDAQ’s best performers on Wednesday. TSLA’s rise places it back above $300 per share, a territory the stock fell below after Tuesday’s broad-market rout. Helping TSLA fend off broad investor pessimism is the company’s improving supply chains. On Monday, Tesla’s vice president of investor relations Martin Viecha spoke at the invite-only Goldman Sachs tech conference. Viecha noted that the company’s battery supply chains are the best they have ever been, and Tesla can now buy all the cells it needs, for both its vehicles and energy-storage products.
