A cybersecurity name that flies beneath the radar. A reasonable 30x PE.
Is -18% so far this week. If you hold it, ask what is the journey in your ownership of this stock. He entered this at $76 last summer. They had a parabolic move and obviously, he's unhappy with the recent downward move. It reported Feb. 12, made a new high on Feb. 13, then unwound after that. He predicted institutional selling, which is happening now. Rising volumes may lead to a near-term bottom, and will likely go sideways.
It feels like NVDA is running in place, up 5% since August 28, 2024 earnings. Today's report will be the first time since mid-2022 when the stock has been negative since its prior report. In options, you're getting more of a premium for the puts vs. the calls. He doesn't know if this is the right play. NVDA now is consolidating and expects shares to pingpong between $115 and $145.
Earnings beat and an excellent report, but guidance was conservative, and he expects TJX will beat it. They're in the sweet spot as off-price consumer goods are doing well. TJX has replaced Target in retail in consumer discretionary.
Like TJX, their momentum is not unwinding, and shares will push to new all-time highs. It's on a streak now, of 7 straight days, that we haven't seen in 2 years.
Awful momentum, but he likes Coupang for its 20% revenue growth and will approach an all-time high.
Is up ahead of earnings today. It's all about Agentforce--what has been the adoption been for this AI tool? Guidance is 9.2%. Will they hit it?
Watch the negative correlation trade. Over 6 months, IGV is up 15% and semis were flat, but the past month IGV is -5% and semis +1%. Nvidia and CRM report tonight--what will be the impact?
It will be a complicated report today. Prices in Q4 declined which will effect free cash flow. He expects EOG to reduce capex full year, which the street night like.
Homebuilders are tied to interest rates. Look at the US 10-year yield; it needs to be 50-75 basis points lower to revive positive momentum in all the homebuilders.
A great quarter with remarkable revenue growth that will continue.
They report end of the month; he expects a strong quarter based on AI. Acquisitions they made are becoming accretive.
Is -15% over the year. AI is cannibalizing at lot of their products. He moved out of this.
Guidance in this earnings season has not been good, and it can't be when you're unsure what the effect of tariffs will be. ANET's guide came in a little short, not 15-17% revenue growth as expected. The stock is breaking down, below its 100-day moving average. These names are relying on price momentum until they hit an earnings event.
Is outperforming the sector. Buyers will re-surface on any pullback. Management recovered from last summer's misstep. There remains good demand for cybersecurity, a dominant theme in tech.
