Qifu Technology $QFIN reported earnings on Monday, and the market rewarded it with a fresh all-time high.

The stock rallied 9.1% for its 3rd consecutive positive earnings reaction. It has been consistently rewarded for its reports.

We also love the technical setup, which we'll talk about later.

Q4 2024 was a record-breaking quarter for the company. Non-GAAP net income reached an all-time high of RMB 1.97B, a 71.5% year-over-year increase.

The market has given the stock a forward earnings multiple of 6, a bargain for a company growing at this rate. We think the valuation has plenty of room to run to the upside.

In addition, the Chinese government is encouraging the development of the consumer credit industry. This is a sweet tailwind for investors to ride.

Shareholders have been spoiled lately. The company repurchased approximately 12% of its share count in 2024 and paid an additional $180M in dividends.

This aggressive return of capital is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Silver is squeezing higher to new multi-month highs and looks poised to climb higher to fresh multi-decade highs shortly.

This is happening on the heels of this precious metals bull market recently turning 1 year old.

Gold futures are also trading above 3,000 dollars for the first time ever.

All of this combined has fueled the animal spirits in the mining industry.

Crown Castle $CCI just had its best earnings reaction since Q2 2003. It was epic.

What happened?

The market loves the simplicity.

This sale will also make the operations more efficient and reduce costs. 

With these extra funds, the company plans to implement a $3B share repurchase program. 

Now, let's talk about what else happened.

CCI reported $1.65B in revenues versus its $1.64B estimate and a loss of $10.97 per share versus the $0.44 estimate. This massive discrepancy in EPS was caused by the changes taking place at the company and shouldn't happen again.
