The end of cancer? These 23 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
Disney's recent performance, highlighted by its return to profitability in the second-quarter of 2025, reflects positively on several future growth catalysts. The collaboration with Whale TV and platform enhancements across Disney+, ESPN, and Hulu might enhance long-term streaming profitability and subscriber growth. However, in the longer-term context, the company's total return over the past five years, which includes share price and dividends, has decreased by 10.76%. This indicates that although recent developments are promising, there are lingering challenges and execution risks in sustaining growth across its diverse segments.
Over the past year, Disney underperformed the US Entertainment industry, which achieved a large return, while the company saw a less favorable annual performance. This discrepancy underscores the competitive challenges Disney faces in an evolving market landscape. Nevertheless, solid execution of platform rollouts and cost-cutting initiatives could positively impact revenue and earnings forecasts. Analysts project earnings to rise to US$11.1 billion by 2028, up from the current US$5.62 billion, buoyed by these strategic efforts. With the share currently trading at US$91.17 and the analyst price target at US$121.34, there is a potential for significant share price appreciation if the outlined forecasts materialize.
Our valuation report unveils the possibility Walt Disney's shares may be trading at a premium.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The condensed consolidated financial information is derived from the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that cash flows for the period presented and the detailed footnote disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification 270, Interim Reporting ("ASC270") have been omitted. Vipshop uses non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders per diluted ADS, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop's shareholders, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the periods presented in this press release, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders is net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS. Non-GAAP income from operations is income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop's shareholders is non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues. Free cash flow is net cash from operating activities adding back the impact from internet financing activities and less capital expenditures, which include purchase and deposits of property and equipment and land use rights. Impact from internet financing activities added back or deducted from free cash flow contains changes in the balances of financial products, which are primarily consumer financing and supplier financing that the Company provides to customers and suppliers. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting, and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow enables the Company to assess liquidity and cash flow, taking into account the impact from internet financing activities and the financial resources needed for the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure, technology platform, and Shan Shan Outlets. Share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. One of the key limitations of free cash flow is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Vipshop Holdings Limited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this release.

RBLX Q2 Deep Dive: Viral Hits Drive User Growth, Guidance Highlights Monetization Shift
Gaming metaverse operator Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, but sales rose 20.9% year on year to $1.08 billion. Next quarter's revenue guidance of $1.14 billion underwhelmed, coming in 3.5% below analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.41 per share was 7% below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy RBLX? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Roblox (RBLX) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $1.08 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.10 billion (20.9% year-on-year growth, 2% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.41 vs analyst expectations of -$0.38 (7% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $320.3 million vs analyst estimates of $220.3 million (29.6% margin, 45.4% beat) The company lifted its revenue guidance for the full year to $4.44 billion at the midpoint from $4.33 billion, a 2.6% increase Operating Margin: -29.8%, down from -26.6% in the same quarter last year Daily Active Users: 111.8 million, up 32.3 million year on year Market Capitalization: $89.8 billion StockStory's Take Roblox's second quarter results reflected strong user and engagement growth, as management emphasized the impact of several viral experiences and ongoing investments in platform quality, developer tools, and global infrastructure. CEO David Baszucki attributed the performance to robust creator activity and highlighted the emergence of new experiences such as Grow a Garden, which contributed to a broad-based lift in engagement and monetization across the platform. Baszucki noted, 'Our strength in Q2 was broad-based across the platform,' and pointed to record levels of both daily active users and monthly unique payers as evidence of this momentum. Looking ahead, Roblox's updated guidance is shaped by its belief in continued expansion of the creator ecosystem, AI-powered platform enhancements, and monetization diversification. CFO Naveen Chopra cautioned that guidance for the next two quarters reflects conservative assumptions around the sustainability of recent viral hits, as well as tougher year-over-year comparisons. Chopra stated, 'It's just too early to extrapolate Q2's extraordinary trends over a prolonged period of time,' but outlined confidence in the company's strategy to capture a larger share of the global gaming content market through technology investments and new monetization channels. Key Insights from Management's Remarks Management pointed to a combination of viral content, improved platform infrastructure, and expansion into new demographics and geographies as key drivers for the quarter and areas of focus for future growth. Viral content drives engagement: Experiences like Grow a Garden and 99 Nights in the Forest contributed to a surge in daily active users, with Baszucki noting that four out of the platform's five top hits launched within the last year. These titles not only attracted new players but also encouraged cross-engagement with other games, highlighting a healthy ecosystem. Developer ecosystem broadening: Chopra emphasized that more than half of the experience spending growth came from titles outside the top ten, signaling a wider distribution of earnings and opportunity for smaller creators. The new Creator Rewards program shifts incentives to reward developers who bring organic traffic and new users, aiming to further diversify and strengthen the content pipeline. AI and infrastructure investments: The company rolled out enhancements such as Cube 3D, a generative AI model for in-game assets, and continued to improve global server performance. These investments are intended to accelerate content creation and support rapid scaling as user numbers climb. International expansion gains traction: Management cited particularly strong growth in the Asia-Pacific region, attributing success to improved translation, localized infrastructure, and targeted content. Countries like Indonesia and Korea saw year-over-year bookings growth exceeding 100%. Shift in monetization models: Roblox is experimenting with new monetization tools, such as Rewarded Video ads (including through a partnership with Google), dynamic pricing, and IP licensing. The company sees these as critical to increasing revenue per user, especially among older demographics. Drivers of Future Performance Roblox expects continued user growth and content diversity to underpin its outlook, with a focus on expanding monetization and sustaining engagement as key priorities. Sustaining viral hit momentum: Management is cautious about projecting ongoing success from recent viral titles, assuming normalization in engagement and spending. However, they believe investments in discovery algorithms and creator incentives could foster repeatable viral content that drives further platform growth. Monetization diversification: The rollout of new ad formats, partnerships for IP licensing, and expanded creator monetization tools are expected to gradually increase revenue per user. Management highlighted opportunities to capture higher monetization rates among older users and through non-traditional gaming genres. Headwinds from tougher comparisons and uncertainty: Chopra referenced difficult year-over-year comps in the second half of the year and the unpredictability of viral trends. The company's conservative guidance reflects these risks, particularly regarding the durability of user engagement and the timing of new monetization initiatives. Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will closely monitor (1) the sustainability of viral hit engagement and whether new experiences can replicate recent success, (2) incremental monetization from new ad formats and IP licensing, and (3) continued expansion into key international markets, especially in Asia-Pacific. Execution on AI-powered platform upgrades and creator incentive programs will also be critical signposts. Roblox currently trades at $129.50, up from $124.90 just before the earnings.
