excited to do my quarterly 4am wake-up for $SE Q4 earnings tonight/tomorrow lol. some pre earnings thoughts:
obviously, it appears that a lot of big names began to take $SE seriously over the last few months. we saw some huge PT increases (I think I saw one of them go as high as $315!) -
$SE has always been committed to the Amazon playbook (grow now, profitability later). but it seems like the market really is starting to give them a big premium for this in recognition for their past execution
per sensor tower and other sources, Free Fire continued to do well in Q4. notably, they finalized a sponsorship deal with Cristiano Ronaldo, which imo is SO classic Sea. (he's the biggest star in the world, and yet not quite that big in North America)
They were awarded the banking license in Singapore (mostly expected), so I think we will see a lot of questions around integration with Shopee + SeaMoney
that's all see u in the morning!

yeee $SE Q3 earnings tomorrow at 4:30am PT (lol). i'm planning to listen/live-tweet again! Not much to report here with respect to pre-earnings thoughts:
I think we will see Free Fire continue to do incredibly well. It was the third most downloaded mobile game in September globally (per sensor tower), and geopolitical tension in India with Chinese publishers could further prop it up in Q3. we may see some Q's from analysts
about how they monetize / if it's sustainable to do so.

$BYND Q3 2020 earnings recap!

I have been a shareholder since IPO day and it is one of my favorite companies. i am planning to hold for an additional 9 years min 😎

they missed on rev today which sent stock down ~22% after hours

i am expecting it to continue to be v volatile
These were the major forces that affected the decrease:

(1) covid stockpiling in Q2 - ppl buying $BYND products and leaving them in the freezer (I know personally that my fiance and i did exactly this lol)
(2) covid menu streamlining among QSRs - lead to fewer $BYND options
There were many Q's about the McPlant fiasco. It sounds like investor relations / comms did not communicate well. It is still unclear what $BYND's role is here, but Ethan made it clear that it was heading in the right direction. He said he couldn't really speak for $MCD.

Some interesting moments from the $MELI Q2 earnings call this morning. Mercado Libre was founded in 1999 and continues to operate one of the largest ecomm platforms across South America -->
They have been testing a new take rate structure across a few test countries. The goal is to better match fees with the economics of different categories, which will hopefully drive more merchants to want to list.
$MELI is raising take rates on categories where merchants have higher margins, and lowering them on categories where merchants have lower margins - but overall, they are trying to do this in a way that is neutral against the overall system.

since I covered $FSLY's earnings call yesterday, I wanted to also cover $NET's today. recap of Cloudflare's Q2 -->
$100mm rev, up 48% YOY
Large customers up 60+% YOY
Have 16% of Fortune 1000, up 13% since Q1
Stock currently ~flat after hours
Substantially grew large customer accounts (accounts greater than 100k annualized rev), big increase due to covid
Mkt cap ~$12.5 bil (vs $FSLY ~$9bil)
They were concerned about customer concessions going into Covid-19. But it turns out that concessions peaked in early April and ultimately came in well below forecasts. They feel they have clear vis into the pandemic's effect on biz, and they are raising Q3 and annual guidance
