Today, Brenda Vingiello, CIO, Sand Hill Global Advisors and Jason Snipe, CIO, Odyssey Capital Advisors commented about whether CVS-N, PYPL-Q, TGT-N, GOOG-Q, GOOG-Q, NVDA-Q, ALB-N, INTC-Q are stocks to buy or sell.

SELL

She just sold it before earnings in early January. There were too many quarters of overpromising and not delivering.

BUY

Just bought it. They own some of the cheapest lithium in the world. They're restructuring their contracts this year, which should boost prices by 25%. It's a long-term global story because EV sales continue to grow. ALB is increasing capacity over the next 8 years.

HOLD

Likes this innovative company, but if you already own, stay put. Are well-positioned for the growth of AI. Does well in healthcare.

BUY

It trades at support at 14x, and it will maintain its dominance in online search.

HOLD

This sell-off is overdone now. Search is Google's war chest, so Google will figure this out, meaning the AI demonstration snafu earlier this week. Gogole is doing cost efficiencies and remain an innovative company. Microsoft won the first round this week.

BUY

Today, an analyst raised the target on Target. Discretionary has done very well so far this year. Their inventory problem will eventually end as they try to return to 6% operational margin growth, which is pre-Covid. Trades at a market PE.

HOLD

They just reported a slight topline miss, but beat EPS and guided higher. Definitely hold on.

BUY

They delivered a sold quarter, and he likes their purchase of Oak Tree.

COMMENT

It's a plus that the Fed has come out to say they are data-dependent, because the Fed is no longer behind inflation, but we're still at the mercy of the market saying, Maybe Powell has more rates to come.

COMMENT

Falling below $100 was too much, too fast and too low after Musk had to buy Twitter, which destroyed investor sentiment. The price cut in China EVs was very smart. The US comprises 9% of world EV sales, Europe 24%, and China 50-60%, so Musk is gaining traction in China. She bought at $120 and sold calls at $150, so she is capped out at $160. $190-200 is a good price now. The fundamentals have to follow through. She also drives a Tesla. 

BUY

Just bought it. The energy in pullback was overdone. FANG offers secular growth, making good, strategic acquisitions and want to distribute 75% of their cash flow to investors through dividends and buybacks, plus a variable dividend. She bought around $139. China is not yet reflected in energy stocks, and today Russia announced energy output cuts.

BUY

Prefers this to, say, Target, in discretionary. WMT is attracting higher-end customers. If the economy weakens, people will go long Walmart and short Target.

BUY

Likes it. Earnings are coming and the street wants to know their daily active users number. In December, they had 65 million, up 18%, but the average booking for daily users is $7. These shares range between $30-40, so she sells calls close to $40, then closes it out closer to $30. They have cash flow and revenues, but remain in the growth stage.

COMMENT

$25 is support and could bounce off this. Sell the July $34 call, collect $1.45 and use that premium to fund your July put.

BUY

An Australian copper and coal miner that is very tied to China. Pays a 9.6% dividend.
