Operating income in Q4 +5% to $2.5 billion. Was held back by tariff talks; tariffs will hurt, but they have room to move with better volume and pricing. He targets $275.
A slow mover, but is in the process of breaking out, though not like a tech stock. Their last report showed operating EBITDA margin +280 basis points, free cash flow +40%, and announced a $1 billion share buyback for this year. RSI is 58, so not overbought. Likes their golden cross.
Hitting 52-week highs. Caught his attention because last week they beat top and bottom lines. After consolidating 9 years, it's starting to break out. Doesn't know this well enough to see if this breakout will hold, but worth watching.
Is 6% from 52-week highs. Is 54 on RSI, so momentum is healthy, in a long-term uptrend since 2022. Companies rely on them to maximize yield on an oil field or set up a new rig. Are few of these companies. He's long.
It's the higher for longer trade. Banking is the best non-tech sector. Banks don't need rate cuts for financials to thrive.
Will be fine, if they could work with other companies to build AI into their products. Does it matter to earnings if they aren't the first out of the gate with applying AI? Not really. What matters is they make the best version of whatever anyone has made in the past three years.
Owns it but has been totally wrong in not owning it in excess. Even after this run, it remains the cheapest Mag 7 stock at 25x forward PE and the only with good relative strength.
Will go higher. They beat top and bottom lines. EPS was ahead. He predicts Amazon along with one or two others, to the globe's biggest AI player. AWS is the biggest cloud, and will boast the most tools and users for AI solutions; they will monetize early and better than all others. They have the 3rd-largest ad business in the world, growing this past quarter. They benefit in AI long-term, with an installed user base already (don't need to attract people).
Has longed loved this. He targets $100. The CEO has done a great turnaround job. He and Bill Ackman are long in this name. Cash flows are huge. We're still early in self-driving cars, and Uber has a huge fleet and a fine app that these cars need. He's adding on weakness and won't sell.
RSI of 71, not crazy overbought, and is one of the S&P's best performers so far this year. Has seen a massive comeback since last summer;s massive outage and sell-off. Great job by the CEO.
They are THE data providers on anything AI on Wall Street, from ETFs to hedge funds. Lots of runway. A breakout is happening now.
Up 19% in a week. Is breaking out. AI data is driving 27% revenue growth and 29% profits this quarter. They're in the sweet spot.
It reports next Tuesday. Believes in the CEO. They will say great things about private credit and don't get enough credit for the turnaround.
Up 11% this week, and 35% this year. RSI of 74. Giving it a long leash in his stop. Has long owned it. It's on fire.
Is -7% the last month, a weak year so far. At a 34 RSI and is very oversold. They guided revenue at +16-17% this year. If it reports that next Thursday when they report, this is a good set up.
