Stock Opinions by Jason Snipe, CIO, Odyssey Capital Advisors

BUY
Servicenow

They report next week. Revenue growth this year is 22% and EPS 32%. They know how to monetize AI.

Technology
BUY

Likes it because they are growing near 9% in the professional segment, though it has a large DIY business.

misc industrial products
BUY
D R Horton Inc.

Is up 25% this year. Likes it for lower interest rates, and their homes are affordable (70% of their homes cost under $400,000) during a housing shortage.

contractors
DON'T BUY
CVS Health Corp

They cut forecasts and changed their CEO. This continues to get punished (glad he sold it last spring). An aging population is cutting deeply into their margins. Recently, they were talking about breaking up the company. Let's see if the new CEO can right the ship.

specialty stores
BUY
Procter & Gamble

They beat on the topline, but missed the bottom, because China was -15%, though it was expected. Organic sales were fine and reiterated guidance. Trades at a too-pricey 24x forward. He doesn't like staples, but continues to like this.

misc consumer products
BUY
NVIDIA Corporation

All paths lead back to NVDA: the power centres and grid. Have great free cash flow. It's hard to fight this stock, that it's gone up too much. Still is a great opportunity.

computer software / processing
BUY
Amazon.com, Inc.

There were concerns over weak retail numbers, but AWS some re-acceleration, this profit centre. There's upside to come, though there's a slight concern with Walmart taking market share in retail. Amazon has many levers to pull, like ads.

specialty stores
BUY
Netflix Inc.

Today, they reported their best quarter ever: 15% revenue growth, subscriber growth 14% and they beat. They can invest grow at the same time. Their library is rich. It's expensive, but streaming live sports over the holidays will be a major catalyst. Has a 30% growth rate which justifies the high valuation.

BUY

This has definitely been on an uptrend, 9% the past quarter. Data this week certainly helps: PCE was soft, GDP was in-line, PPI is soft, all pointing to disinflation.
