Goldman's Internet Playbook: Ten Themes Driving US Tech Landscape Goldman's Internet Playbook: Ten Themes Driving US Tech Landscape  We are nearing the tail end of the first quarter earnings season. Excluding Nvidia, which is scheduled to report next Wednesday, the rest of the Magnificent Seven delivered year-over-year EPS growth of 28% in Q1, far outpacing the 9% growth recorded by the remainder of the S&P 500. Mag7 also surpassed consensus earnings estimates by 16%, marking the largest earnings surprise for Apple (AAPL) Microsoft (MSFT) Alphabet (GOOGL / GOOG) Amazon (AMZN) Nvidia (NVDA) Meta Platforms (META) Tesla (TSLA) since Q2 2021, when they outperformed estimates by 27%. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/2025-05-20_11-42-24.png?itok=RZQWBLj8 As the midpoint of 2025 quickly approaches, Goldman analysts Eric Sheridan, Ben Miller, and others have updated their investment outlook, refining their top 10 themes for the U.S. internet sector, including: Secular Growth Opportunities – particularly in digital advertising, the merging of commerce and advertising, cloud computing, and local commerce. Key Industry Debates – including autonomous vehicles' impact on mobility, normalization in online travel, and expansion in interactive entertainment. Major Risks – such as regulatory scrutiny and AI-driven disruption AI remains the dominant theme in the eyes of the analyst. They noted that 2025 will be critical for platforms to demonstrate real returns from massive AI investments made over the past three years. While widespread disruption of existing consumer computing habits isn't expected, proof of utility and ROI will be closely watched. Here's more:  As we framed in our Consumer Internet AI deep-dive, we believe that AI will continue to permeate more products and use cases for consumers, but see those shifts playing out over time and do not expect AI to drive wholesale displacement/disintermediation of existing computing habits. We continue to look at 2025 as a year where stakes are rising for platforms to prove out the adoption/utility/use cases of their investments in AI as we are now in year three of an elevated OpEx/CapEx cycle (& investors increasingly ask for proof points on the eventual return on investment). This interplay between levels of investment, visibility into a more distinct return profile and/or elements of rising utility-like behavior around such tools will likely remain dominant themes among large cap U.S. Internet this year. They noted that tariffs remain a volatile but critical factor, influencing cost structures and demand visibility. However, easing trade tensions in recent weeks and stronger-than-expected Q1 earnings results have helped stabilize big tech stocks.  The analysts provided an easy-to-view breakdown of the Top 10 Themes shaping their coverage across the internet sector: The Evolution of the Consumer AI Landscape: AI is reshaping consumer and enterprise computing, spanning infrastructure (Cloud), model/platform ownership, and app-level use cases. Debates are expected to intensify in 2025. Most Exposed Stocks: Majority of coverage universe. The Implications of AI for Cloud Computing & CapEx: Cloud providers are investing heavily in AI workloads, balancing long-term AI opportunity with CapEx discipline. AI will increasingly impact revenue and margins. Most Exposed: AMZN, GOOGL, META, MSFT, SNAP, NVDA. The Lines Between Advertising & eCommerce Models Continue to Blur: Ad and commerce models are converging. Retail media and automation drive budgets from traditional ads to digital platforms. Most Exposed: AMZN, GOOGL, META, PINS, UBER, CART, LYFT, IBTA. Digital Advertising Shifts to AI Automation & Direct Response: Ad platforms are moving toward AI-driven, lower-funnel/direct-response formats. This change supports performance marketing and measurable ROI. Most Exposed: GOOGL, META, AMZN, PINS, RDDT, APP, SNAP, DV, KIND, YELP, IBTA. A Future of AVs & the Pathway for Mobility Networks: AV (autonomous vehicle) developments, particularly from Uber and Waymo, are shaping the future of mobility. Network transitions and partnerships are key. The most exposed are UBER, LYFT, and GOOGL. The Battle for Same/Next-Day Local eCommerce: Consumer demand for faster delivery is driving innovation in local eCommerce. Restaurant and grocery segments are expanding. Most Exposed: AMZN, UBER, CART, LYFT. The Normalization of Online Travel Demand: Travel growth is stabilizing. Companies are focused on funnel efficiency, regulatory impacts, and GenAI-driven demand strategies. Most Exposed: EXPE, BKNG, ABNB, UBER, YO, TRIP. The Evolution of Interactive Entertainment Platforms. Interactive platforms are expanding content offerings and monetization methods. UGC, gaming, streaming, and live audio continue to grow. Most Exposed: NFLX, SPOT, RBLX, EA, TTWO, U, BILI, RBLX, GENI, WBTN. The Transition from Spatial to Mobile Computing: Big tech continues to shift toward mobile-first and device-independent experiences, spanning hardware, software, and services. Most Exposed: META, GOOGL, AMZN, SNAP, RBLX, EA, TTWO, U, BILI, GENI. Regulatory Matters & Changing Ecosystem Defaults: Structural risks from regulation, platform control, and consolidation dominate industry risk profiles, particularly in ad tech, app distribution, and AI. Most Exposed: AMZN, GOOGL, META, LYFT, UBER, ABNB, BKNG, EXPE. Top stock picks: We see the most compelling risk/reward in companies that face short-term investor concerns and highlight: 1) GOOGL where debates on the impact of AI on core search and ongoing regulatory matters overshadow strong operating performance across a) Search & Other revenue producing upside in Q1, b) strong operating margins as efficiencies help fund long-term platform/product investments, & c) a very strong mix of growth and margins from Google Cloud; & 2) AMZN where debates persist on the impact of higher tariffs but where we believe that a) price/negotiation levers can help mitigate the cost impact of tariffs, b) that AMZN remains well positioned to gain market share, and c) remains levered to several attractive longer-term secular growth themes (incl. AI, Cloud computing, retail media, streaming, sports). Within our Large Cap coverage, we are also Buy rated on META, UBER (CL), SPOT, and Neutral rated on ABNB, APP, NFLX & BKNG. For SMID Caps, we see outsized risk/reward Buy rated opportunities in PINS (on CL), CART, DKNG & MTCH over the next 12 months. Ahead of Nvidia's earnings next week, Mag7 stocks have recovered all losses sparked by Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs. While the index has been inching closer to record highs, momentum has stalled in recent sessions.  https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/unnamed_198.jpg?itok=Vj6tbjTI What's next for the internet? https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/2025-05-20_11-47-59.png?itok=U0xVA2Vz Pro subs can view the https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7a0u1o9ki5yo9k8lo3kk8/Americas_-Technology_-Internet-Interactive-Entertainment_-10-Industry-Themes-for-2025-Focus-Stocks-Going-Forward-Mid-Yea....pdf?rlkey=ciqb3oampqnnyy2migy5wsdwz&st=8wtp3zzv&dl=0 .  https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Wed, 05/21/2025 - 06:55 https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/goldmans-internet-playbook-ten-themes-driving-us-tech-landscape

"We Have Imported Knife Violence" – Wave Of Attacks Shakes Germany Once Again "We Have Imported Knife Violence" – Wave Of Attacks Shakes Germany Once Again https://rmx.news/article/we-have-imported-knife-violence-wave-of-knife-attacks-shakes-germany-once-again/ Another wave of knife attacks has hit Germany, showing that not much has changed despite the many lost lives and Germans maimed in knife attacks. In fact, the statistics show that these crimes are even getting worse, with 79 knife attacks per day now recorded. A German criminal lawyer warns that Germany has “imported knife violence,” in response to growing blade crimes. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/german-knife.jpg?itok=TMZ0NFFH In the last few days, headlines include https://rmx.news/article/kosovar-man-arrested-after-knife-attack-in-germany-injures-three-including-12-year-old-girl/ ,” and “Rioter injures police officer with knife.” However, thousands of such headlines have run in the German press in recent years, with Remix News reporting on many of them. The overwhelming number of perpetrators are foreigners or those with a foreign background, yet despite promises to crack down and enact deportations of migrant criminals, the bloodshed not only continues but appears to be getting worse. His daughter was murdered by an illegal Palestinian migrant, stabbed 38 times, along with her boyfriend. 17-year-old Ann-Marie is gone, but her father won't let her memory die. He delivered a message to Olaf Scholz's face: "There are parents standing at the grave or coffin of… https://t.co/JDslDGKFA4 — Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) https://twitter.com/RMXnews/status/1846517389837431162?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw “We have imported knife violence. In other cultures, the knife is a kind of status symbol. This is changing the social climate here in the country,” stated criminal attorney Udo Vetter. He further notes that “knives have become an everyday companion for many people. And the barrier to using them is low.” Notably, he warns that due to the rise of knives and knife crimes, it is creating a problem that is expected to only grow exponentially, with more and more people arming themselves with knives out of fear. “Because if some people deliberately pack a knife as a murder weapon, more and more people will also resort to knives, supposedly to defend themselves,” stated Vetter. “Young people in particular have knives in their pockets just like their cell phones.” However, this problem has been warned about nearly every week, including from the German police themselves. Manuel Ostermann, deputy head of the Federal Police Union, stated that “the knife as a means of committing a crime always immediately poses a concrete threat to life and limb. Politicians must now take all possible measures to curb this phenomenon.” Ostermann is the same police union head who said that Germany’s crime problem is actually an immigration problem during a viral speech last year. 🇩🇪‼️ "Germany is no longer a safe country... The migration crisis is first and foremost a crime crisis." German police union (DPoIG) chairman Manuel Ostermann makes a major statement following the Solingen terror attack by a Syrian Islamist. https://t.co/ZolmrLnMHa — Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) https://twitter.com/RMXnews/status/1828771151180361989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The head of the German Police Union, Rainer Wendt, also spoke out about the knife crime problem, saying: “The threshold for violence is getting lower and lower. And the fuse is getting shorter. Knives are being drawn even for trivial reasons and seemingly harmless disputes.” As Remix News previously reported, violent crime reached a record high in Germany last year, with foreigners responsible for nearly half of crimes.  There were 29,014 cases in total involving a crime where a knife was used, of which, 15,741 were knife attacks. Serious and dangerous bodily harm with a knife increased by 10.8 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. 🇩🇪 For every well-integrated Middle Eastern migrant, you have so many of these guys causing terror across Europe. Knife crime has skyrocketed in Germany, with nearly 30,000 knife-related crimes taking place last year.

Alice Weidel, AfD party co-leader, mocked the new government’s “five-point plan” to fix the immigration crisis, saying that the border is not secured despite promises. “Failed border controls and broken promises are what remains of the ‘5-Point Plan.’ This is demonstrated not least by the violent incidents in Bielefeld and Halle. In North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony-Anhalt, the CDU state governments show no willingness to initiate a migration turnaround,” wrote Weidel on X. Gescheiterte Grenzkontrollen & gebrochene Versprechen sind das, was vom "5-Punkte-Plan" geblieben ist. Das zeigen nicht zuletzt die Gewalttaten in Bielefeld & Halle. In NRW & Sachsen-Anhalt zeigen die CDU-Landesregierungen keinerlei Willen zur Einleitung einer Migrationswende. https://t.co/upQcik1l4N — Alice Weidel (@Alice_Weidel) https://twitter.com/Alice_Weidel/status/1924457107669025200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament, Anton Baron MdL, has accused Christian Socialist Union (CDU) parliamentary group leader Manuel Hagel of hypocrisy regarding knife crimes in Germany. “Although the proportion of people without German passports is significantly lower in the population, there is a significantly higher crime rate here,” he told SWR. He said he considered the increased number of knife attacks by foreigners “alarming.” “Such ‘unpleasant truths’ must be spoken. It couldn’t be more hypocritical: The CDU, above all, has caused this situation since 2015. Has the party distanced himself from it to this day? On the contrary: Hegel has rejected all our draft laws and motions to limit migration and defamed us as more right-wing than right-wing. Hagel can point his bigoted finger at others as much as he wants: his party, under Interior Minister Strobl, believes it can tackle the rampant problem of migrant knife-wielding men with pseudo-solutions like gun-free zones. But this problem no longer needs to be ‘debated in our country’ – it must finally be solved. But apart from the AfD, no one wants or can do that.” https://rmx.news/article/we-have-imported-knife-violence-wave-of-knife-attacks-shakes-germany-once-again/ https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Wed, 05/21/2025 - 06:30 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/we-have-imported-knife-violence-wave-attacks-shakes-germany-once-again

Yes. Many here aren’t ready to accept that this is already happening, but clearly this is going on all over the world. You can literally see it with your own eyes on a daily basis. John Campbell is just scratching the surface of this thing. It gets much worse the more you dig.
