+++ Geschäftszahlen +++: Gewinn von Huawei geht deutlich zurück – höhere Investitionen

In the second quarter, Huawei's profits saw a significant decline due to increased investments, according to wire material. This aligns with the company's expectation for the current quarter, where they anticipate subscription revenues of $2.52 billion. However, investors were hoping for more, as the company's stock fell by five percent after markets closed.

Workday, a US company, reported a 12.8% increase in revenue to $2.65 billion in the quarter ending July 31, fulfilling Wall Street's expectations. Nevertheless, the stock price declined by five percent in after-hours trading. Workday's AI-powered financial and human resources programs have attracted more than 5,500 customers, but the company faces challenges in a difficult economic climate, with many customers closely examining their IT budgets and delaying significant software projects.

Analysts suggest that there may be limited room for further expansion without price reductions, making it challenging to reinvigorate growth in the financial sector and abroad. Workday's optimistic outlook on AI tools has boosted Salesforce's confidence, leading the company to raise its revenue and profit forecast for the full year.

Salesforce now expects revenue between $46.1 billion and $46.4 billion, an increase from the previous range of $45.9 billion to $46.2 billion. The company's adjusted EPS is projected to rise to $16.67 to $16.71 from the previous range of $14.06 to $14.12. Revenue for the quarter was $11.35 billion, slightly over the $11.32 billion expected by LSEG analysts.

The company had initially forecast revenue between $11.27 billion and $11.35 billion and EPS between $3.25 and $3.27, with the lower earnings outlook overshadowing a surprisingly strong sales figure in the previous quarter.
