Shopify Inc. (SHOP-T) — Stockchase
Shopify Inc. (SHOP-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about SHOP-T: Look at the 5-year chart. The peak in 2021 concerns him on valuation. Not surprising that it came into resistance when it entered a similar window earlier this year. Likes buying dips, don't chase here.

Visa Inc. (V-N) — Stockchase
Visa Inc. (V-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about V-N: Reliable name. Vast network, trusted brand, unmatched scale. Move from cash to digital payments. Consumer spending remains pretty solid in US. Cross-border transactions remain strong. Pretty capital light, which means very strong free cashflows. About 13% annual growth rate, paying a slight premium for the name. Recently bounced off 200-day MA very nicely,…

Opinion about GOOG-Q: Apple reports that Google searches fell for the very first time on Apple's browser. Google shares slide 7.5%. Search is 57% of their revenue. If such revenues decline, Google won't be able to invest in anything else but search.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Apple (AAPL-Q)
The iPhone has been a staple in Apple’s line and has been their key product for some years. If not an iPhone, then you might have a Macbook, or you’ll know someone who has both. Apple products are everywhere and they have a loyal following.

Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase
Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AAPL-Q: Has incredible gross margins. They just reported a fine quarter, but tariffs in China didn't help. The street perceives that as the last great quarter, so shares fell.

Uber (UBER-N) — Stockchase
Uber (UBER-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about UBER-N: Missed 2 key metrics. Past year has been quite sideways, more of a trading stock. Above 200-day MA, but that 200-day MA has been quite flat. Forward earnings estimates have ratcheted down a bit, but you're still paying ~30x forward PE. That's problematic. 200-week MA seems to be steadily moving higher.Longer term,…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Block Inc (SQ-N) — Stockchase
Block Inc (SQ-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about SQ-N: 12-month price target of $83.50, nice long runway. If there's a company that can disrupt payment or banking systems, it's this name. Very strong growth prospects. Agreed to buy Afterpay. February earnings missed on top and bottom, though they did increase guidance (probably due to Afterpay).

One of the major producers of chips that power our computers, phones and many other technological devices.

Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase
Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about INTC-Q: Avoid. Firmly in the land of long-term turnaround, which is risky. Sold assets. Foundry business relies on government support. Design business doesn't quite fit future directions of data centres and personal computing. Look at TSM.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD-Q) — Stockchase
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD-Q) — Stockchase
