(A Top Pick Jan 19/26, Down 18%)
(Note the short timeframe.) Thesis still makes sense, but you have to pick the dominant player. Q1 had weak margins. Q2 was last week with weak revenue but used the magic words "signed a deal to supply hyperscalers", which the market loves. Backlog jumped.
Why he sold.... The company moved a huge amount of shares from the corporation to its pension fund. He knew what was about to happen: the shares would be sold. And there are more on the block. Even if you believe in the long-term story for a company, you have to look what's happening with stocks coming up for sale. Avoid for now.
