Being a Headhunter in the tech space I always keep an eye on the (tech) stock market. Why? Because significant changes in stock prices create potential business opportunities. And I don’t just mean when stock prices go up. The big news this week is about "chip stocks". Some of the largest semiconductor companies like NVIDIA, TSM and ASML have dropped significantly yesterday. It was surprising since they had been rising steadily for quite a while. Basically this drop happened because of worries about stricter export rules to China and a general shift away from tech stocks. As one of our clients is a semi conductor company, awaiting an investment round, this could mean bad news for me. But on the other hand, with stocks falling, companies in this space have to react. For example, if export restrictions on Semiconductor Technology continue, this can impact leadership hiring needs which is very relevant to me: Some examples: - Companies may need to hire top-tier compliance and legal executives to navigate these regulations. - Or they might need to adjust their sales and operations teams to focus on different markets. Which might create a demand for leaders who can drive market expansion and operational efficiency. So, while stock prices dropping in our industry might seem like bad news, it doesn't have to be. In fact, keeping a close eye on the market has brought me more business opportunities. And my clients also really appreciate that I'm up to date on the market and industry.

A #Megacap #AI #chipmaker and #tech darling of the #mag7 will report #earnings on Wednesday, marking the unofficial end of what has been an excellent first quarter earnings season. S&P 500 (#SP500) earnings per share (#EPS) #growth is tracking to 6.8% year over year for the quarter, or roughly 9.5% excluding acquisition-related losses by a large drug maker. This number could easily reach 10% by the end of the season. It’s no surprise that #bigtech has been a huge driver of earnings this quarter.
