Today, Rob Sechan, Managing Partner, New Edge Capital and Bryn Talkington commented about whether NVDA-Q, ET-N, TSLA-Q, JEF-N, LOW-N, HD-N, MA-N are stocks to buy or sell.

BUY

Trading at a high 32x forward PE, but shares are near 52-week highs. Is growing around 15% in earnings despite a challenging macro. Cross-border travel continues to beat expectations. Consumers are also seeing higher wages to fuel their spending.

HOLD

This and Lowe's are quality businesses that he's long owned. Healthy profits and capital efficiency. They will benefit if interest rates decline. Be patient.

BUY

He likes financials, and JEF is gaining market share. This will benefit from more M&A next year. Trades at a 17x forward PE.

WATCH

Earnings decelerated the last couple of years and have no flattened, but will grow again, she expects by 7%. People are excited by this name for its robotics, AI and self-driving cars. It's not only a car company. She had sold in the $200s the January $400 strike price. Tesla has a beta of 2. Be cautious going into earnings on Jan. 23, because there's some hype in the $400s.  More normal would be the $300s.

BUY

Pick your spots in energy. This is a pipeline. This is up 45% this year and pays a 7% dividend yield. Stay capital-lite.

BUY

2025 will be the year of Blackwell. The hyperscalers will continue to spend on this stock.

WAIT

They're spending at least $80 billion of capex in AI to keep up with peers, but this has been overhang on the stock. Shares are up only 13% this year, lagging Mag 7 peers. It's early--we don't know what's going on with their AI, but MSFT's suite of services have always been aimed at operational efficiency. We'll see how their AI plays out in coming quarters.

DON'T BUY

Is -7% this year. It's all about 30-year mortgages above 7%. 69% of their delivered homes this year were below $400,000. But it's a tough hill to climb with these high rates.

BUY

Will benefit from more M&As expected in 2025.

PARTIAL BUY

Is up 13% for the year, but most of those gains happened in January, driven by AI hopes. MSFT is spending a lot on AI. The stock is running in place, and expects it to restart its positive momentum. However, we need to first see benefit coming from their AI spending. Near-term, the tech winners in AI are Amazon, Alphabet and Nvidia. But set your expectations for MSFT for the long term.

RISKY

He bought it Oct. 31 and he still has a small profit on it. Can't believe it's fallen from $348 in early December (now $250). It's pulling back with Bitcoin, both volatile which you must accept.

DON'T BUY

The homebuilders were in a tough spot entering this year, because of higher interest rates. Also, 13% of the construction industry consists of undocumented workers. If Trump cracks down on such workers, these will drive up labour costs and home prices.

BUY
Natural gas prices are rallying to 52-week highs on a projected cold winter ahead

Nat gas is an opportunity. We're working off existing inventories and excess supply. Also, nat gas feeds the insatiable demand for energy that's used by data centres.

BUY

There will be more volatility and range expansion in markets next year will benefit the brokers.
