Stock Opinions by Bryn Talkington

COMMENT
Devon Energy Corp

Has underperformed in energy, but is breaking above $46 now. She's bullish energy for the rest of the year.

oil / gas
BUY

There's been a lot of M&A in energy, so she expects nice returns for the rest of the year. YOY energy earnings for companies are starting to climb.

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Nike Inc

Shares have fallen the last two quarters as low as $90, but are rising now. It could reach $110. The summer Olympics are a tailwind and results from China just have to be less worse to please the street.

SELL ON STRENGTH
NVIDIA Corporation

Other tech stocks like Meta are up today, so it's only Nvidia correcting, and it needed to correct after shooting so far, so fast, way above its moving averages. This quarter, tech earnings are supposed to rise 16%, but remove NVDA and it's 6%. Considering tech in 2000 as an historical measure, there will be a time when NVDA will have an earnings pause. Warning.

computer software / processing
COMMENT
NVIDIA Corporation

It's the only company outside Super Micro that's delivering on AI. Also, MSFT. Their May 22 report will be crucial.

computer software / processing
HOLD
Apple Inc

Some analysts see the company as a single product, the iPhone, but she counters that there are 2 billion active iPhones. Siri could be a Trojan horse in terms of AI. It could be dead money for a couple quarters, but you can enter the mname. She expects Apple to release a great, new product in the near future.

electrical / electronic
HOLD
Tesla Inc

She's long and owns it personally. The chart looks terrible now and could go lower. But she won't count out Elon Musk, one of the most innovative people around. The earnings report will be bad, but we will get clarity. There will be a chance to step into this. If they do a full pivot into self-drivng robo-taxi, this will lead to a re-evaluation of this stock. Tesla remains the top-selling brand in China. They will announce a new giant factory in India.

Consumer Products
BUY

It carries the companies in the Russell 1000 with the highest free cash-flow. Good for choppy markets to come.

E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
Intel
Intel receives $8.5 billion chips act grant to build chips factories

Semis are volatile. The CEO has done well to turn around Intel, but can they catch up to Nvidia, AMD and others. The grant is a great win for America, but Intel can't build the new facility without this grant. She doesn't see meaningful earnings growth in coming years. YOY they lost 4 cents in EPS between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024, though are forecasting here. The company is excited about laptop PCs, but this will be marginal. They need to execute, but that will take 1-3 years. Meanwhile, Nvidia estimates earnings to rise 400%.

computer parts mnfctr
BUY

Companies split shares when they're doing well, so this split validates their success, though it doesn't effect the fundamentals. The split generates excitement for the stock.

RISKY
Bitcoin falls from record highs

It's had such a strong rally. By nature, this is volatile, so the sell-off is the price of admission.

Cryptocurrencies
BUY
Netflix Inc.
Price target raised to $705

It continues to innovate among the streamers. Peers like Disney and Paramount keep trying to catch up. Netflix will continued to take market share.

Technology
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Accenture Ltd.

It's a sleepy stock we don't talk about enough. Wish she owned it. Growth estimates are 11.5%. Shares are up 120% in the last 5 years, beating the S&P. Could be a good entry point if the report is weak.

other services
BUY

A free cash-flow yield of 7.9%. Shares are up 9% this year. It rebalances quarterly. Great for the long term.

E.T.F.'s
BUY

Still likes the Qs. Good to hold long term. To be defensive, sell calls.
