Latest Stock Buy or Sell? Make More Informed Decisions!

Today, Stephen Weiss, Founder, Short Hills Capital Partners and Jim Lebenthal commented about whether XLF, ADBE, CAT, META are stocks to buy or sell.

BUY

Downside risk is likely $600, but is more likely to bounce. Today announced it will delay rolling out its AI. Is not surprised. Delays happens alot in tech. He owns a full position, but otherwise would add more now.

HOLD

Still owns, and won't sell. CAT was overvalued a month ago, but expects it to grow into its valuation. It won't be a 10-year hold for him.

BUY
Is -6% today because the CEO will step down, despite beating earnings yesterday.

He bought more personally, because fears are overblown. Yesterday's earnings and guidance were good, but not enough to put the bear case to bed. He's not happy the CEO is leaving, but is a buy opportunity. Sales growth is over 10% and PE is 11x and free cash of 11% is also growing. They have bought back 10% of shares over two years and will continue. It feels lousy owning it now, but he will do well with this in time.

BUY

This reset in financials is healthy. If you think we'll enter a recession, don't buy financials. The economy remains in good shape (jobless claims, GDP, capex all good) can power through Middle East concerns.

BUY

Targets a 10.5% distribution yield. Sell calls on the Nasdaq. A good equity income play.

TRADE

Their last two quarters were incredible, but she continues to sell calls with a strike price of $200, because they stock can't get above that. But she expects to hear about their new chip at Monday's GTC, which is 5x as fast, and to hear about the future of AI.

BUY

Amid this private credit sell-off, she keeps adding to their tech fund. Private credit fears now are overblown. Over 10 years, the top decile private credit manager earned 12% and the bottom decile did 4%. A year from now, the big earners will come out as big winners and those that don't, don't. She believes in Blue Owl.

BUY

He bought more before Monday's GTC. It's one of his biggest holdings. The stock has been pushed to the backburner lately. He targets $250.

BUY

All cybersecurity sold off on earnings for some reason. More AI demands more cybersecurity, and since the Iran war, these stocks have been on a tear.

BUY

He bought it. How much lower can these software names go? Intuit is adopting AI to make them more efficiency such as Turbo Tax and QuickBooks. Small businesses use their software for years and years and likely won't leave it. He bought it at $400 and it's already up 10%.

HOLD

He got stopped out yesterday, losing 10% of his holding. He still likes it. Mortgage rates need to get below 10%.

BUY

Is up 48% this year. The 6-month chart is insane. They report Wednesday. They enjoy massive YOY growth. DRAM is cyclical, but we're nowhere near the end. He expects MU to meet and surpass expectations.

COMMENT
Canada job numbers missed.

We had a strong 2025. I think they missed the youth unemployment, and that's one of the main reasons why it went up that high this time around. Though youth unemployment reached 12-12.5%, he believes it's a lot higher than that. They're not counting people who have yet to participate in the market.

We need to improve on that. One way is to cut taxes, especially for small businesses. They're the backbone to our economy. If they start hiring again, that's fantastic. Youth employment would go up, overall unemployment numbers would come down.

Tiff Macklem has a tough job balancing interest rates and inflation (with the price of oil over $100).

COMMENT
Are AI-related layoffs a factor in Canada yet?

AI is the easy narrative to blame. Sure, it has it's place, but it's not 100% responsible for the increase in unemployment in Canada or the US. 

The US has the model somewhat correct -- cutting taxes, pressure to reduce interest rates. That's spurring growth and the economy. 

Canada has announced some deals up north and overseas. But how about cutting taxes and interest rates here? Those measures alone will start promoting growth in Canada.

WAIT

Good job backing out of the deal to preserve balance sheet. Strong management. Mature industry. All we cared about 10 years ago were subscription rates. Now they have to see what else can produce revenue.
