BUY

Earnings on Tuesday. There's strong demand for aerospace, and they boast a huge backlog.

BUY

He expects a boring report next with fantastic numbers, including EPS. The Red Hat integration is working.

BUY

The catalyst would be if they can deliver an oral weight-loss drug and he expects so. He agrees with today's upgrade.

BUY

He bought more around $359 to replace shares he called away. Rates are still high, so there is still a long-term recovery happening.

TRADE
Is warning of lower operating margins in the latter half of the year. Is -5% today, despite beating.

He wrote a covered call on half his position before the report. Sold to open the July 25th $1,245 strike for $57 or 130% annualized (1-week calls). Close this morning at the open for $12 and netted $45 profit. Loves it long term, hold forever.

BUY

He bought more Apple. Doesn't know what they will do with AI, but is certain they will do something. Maybe they buy Perplexity, which would be a fine way to interface with AI. He sold this at $247.50, and looks attractive at $200. He's been rebuying this at an average cost of $209, and collected option premiums and small dividend.

TRADE

He sold the Aug.15 180 strike for $3.50 (20% annualized). Sold 25% of his position to rebalance to slightly overweight.

BUY

It was his top pick heading into 2025. It's not just AI, but also hardware and advertising--they monetize AI through advertising. Margins are rising. He expects great numbers.

HOLD

He hopes their robotics and self-driving divisions produce returns over time. He wouldn't buy ahead of the print, but this stock is a call-writer's dream. He is not expecting a big number from them next Wednesday.

BUY

Is trading at a valuation discount to peers, because we all know they will lose their monopoly in internet search. But people are staying in the Google ecosystem to use their free AI. Also driving them are YouTube and Waymo. He expects their next earnings to impress.

HOLD

Q1 earnings were 39% YOY, so they have a big bar to leap over in Q2. Some aren't sure they will. You can take profits now, nothing wrong with that, but he's not ready to.

BUY

It's run up 166% in 3 months, but he won't bet against it, because they control the ecosystem of the young. HOOD, Roblox and American Express, we love.

BUY

He bought more CAT. It's a stealthy play in the data centre space where CAT does the heavy construction. This trades at only 17x PE, a 25% discount to John Deere, historically wide. Pays a 2% dividend and has lots of free cash flow.

BUY

It was upgraded today. The sum of the parts will be far greater when they break up HON later. A perpetual compounder that you can own long term.

PARTIAL BUY

Just bought it before earnings--beating top and bottom lines, with a 16% YOY revenue jump. Management increased the YOY top and bottom line. But it's up a lot so be careful.
