As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
Technical situation has been positive from a trading perspective, marching higher since March. People don't understand the importance of its software in applications that can't afford to fail. Massive run in a short time.
Generating cash and some growth. A more speculative play in an important, growing area.
Now starting to take off. Transformed from phone maker to software company. Embedded auto software plus cybersecurity. Auto software is the story -- revenue grew, margins improved, stronger cashflow, good backlog, guidance higher than expected.
Is it a pure momentum name? Blown through all its targets. Might see a healthy pullback. Definitely take some profits. For the long term, core business model has changed. On her watchlist.
Has had a bit of a turnaround, and numbers are starting to back up the story. A very different company, now focused on 2 software businesses. Embedded in vehicles globally, now turning its sights to AI and robotics.
Recent rally driven by NVDA deal. Fundamentals look better, but execution still has to keep up. She'll watch from the sidelines. If owned, take some profits.
Software geared very much to the automotive industry -- mainly infotainment but also autonomous driving platforms. Has done extremely well. QNX software embedded in 255M vehicles around the world. Room for growth.
If you own it, stick with it. Buy some more ~$6.40, and a final third around $6 (doesn't think it'll go below that).
For this one, he's looking at the very right side of a 1-year chart. You can see the basing, but what you want to see is a breakout. Could be a swing trade, but doesn't really have enough movement to do that. Could go sideways forever, or break to the downside. Don't buy until you see that breakout.
His book Sideways goes into this strategy in detail.
The key in this case is the horse and the jockey. He likes John Cheng, who has a good track record. This is going to be a long haul. There are very few companies that have more noise about them. His Initial Sell Target price is close to $18. If they start to really turn around, he can see the company going far further than $18. They still have lots of difficulties. Management have announced the end of layoffs and are now looking at potentially hiring. That is a major curve in the cycle for him, so he is happy to hold it. When a company like this turns, it can turn fast and can really rocket.
