TOP PICK
Energy starting to be in favour. Exposure to rising US power demand, especially tied to data centres (key growth driver) and AI. One of the largest power producers in the US. Earnings last quarter came in stronger than expected.
Evolving to a structural growth story tied to long-term electricity shortages. Sees 21% upside from here, price target of ~$211. Yield is1.08%.

PARTIAL BUY
Is up 69% since he bought it in January. Is the second-best performer after Palantir. Natural gas will be key to solving the bottleneck in data centre power consumption. The valuation is no longer cheap at 18x. It's a multi-year story, backed by increased loan growth and data centre power consumption.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly NRG is an electric utility that services 3.7 million customers. It trades at an 8x PE and earnings are expected to grow 12% next year -- pretty good for a conservative holding. It pays a great dividend backed by a payout ratio of 30%. We would buy this with a $28 top-loss looking to achieve $45 -- 30% upside. Yield 3.56% (Analysts’ price target is $44.67)
