Citi placed Kroger on a short-term downside catalyst watch ahead of the grocer's second-quarter results on Sept. 11, citing a sustained price offensive from Walmart funded in part by a roughly $3 billion tariff refund. The bank expects in-line Q2 results but anticipates more conservative guidance from Kroger management and has trimmed its full-year…
Penguin Solutions (PENG) is riding accelerating demand for memory and AI inference infrastructure after a blowout quarter and a material guidance raise.

POET has pulled back to the low-$7s after peaking at $20.81 in May. Momentum indicators show near-term weakness, but fundamentals and industry positioning argue for upside. This trade idea lays out an actionable entry, stop and targets for a mid-term (45 trading days) swing with a clear risk framework.
Shares in Israel ended Tuesday's session higher, with the TA 35 up 0.22%. Advances were concentrated in Real Estate, Communication and Oil & Gas sectors.

Ralliant looks like a classic two-engine small-cap replay: steady commercial cash flow from existing products plus an event-driven upside from a late-stage program or partnership. For traders willing to accept elevated volatility, a disciplined long with a tight stop and a mid-term horizon captures asymmetric upside while capping downside.
SoFi's deposit-like balances give it an earnings hedge while rates are high, but they don't create a durable competitive advantage. With a market cap near $22.3B, negative free cash flow, and a valuation that assumes ongoing cross-sell execution, I recommend a mid-term short: entry $17.28, target $14.88, stop $19.00 over ~45 trading days.
Expedia is showing durable recovery in gross bookings and revenue, backed by $4.46B of free cash flow and an enterprise value roughly in line with market cap. At roughly $310 today, valuation metrics (P/FCF ~8.5x, EV/EBITDA ~10.2x) look reasonable for a travel platform that grew gross bookings mid-teens in Q2 2026. This trade idea lays out a mid-te…
Dynagas LNG Partners LP, an owner of six LNG carriers employing multi-year charters, announced it will release its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, after market close on September 7, 2026.

USA Rare Earth (USAR) is an execution story with sizable optionality. The company sits on a large cash reserve, owns the Round Top deposit and is rolling up a mine-to-magnet supply chain. That makes it an asymmetric trade: binary execution risk but clear upside if the Serra Verde combination and DoD support materialize. We lay out a long trade cali…
Camden National (CAC) trades like a profitable, well-capitalized regional bank at a modest premium to book. With a $0.42 quarterly dividend, 2026 EPS near $5.25 and solid free cash flow, the business looks durable. That said, the stock is near a 52-week high and momentum indicators are cooling—this trade buys the bank on a tight risk control with a…
Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) trades at a lofty trailing multiple despite cyclical earnings and a fragile macro backdrop for metals. With a market cap around $106B, PE near 37x, and price-to-free-cash-flow above 60x, the setup favors a mid-term short aimed at multiple compression if copper momentum weakens or peers unlock incremental supply. Entry, stop a…
Options activity in Novartis AG has surged, with total contracts reaching 26,086 by 10:10 a.m. Puts slightly outnumbered calls, and several outsized trades - including a roughly 4,334-contract September CHF130 call and a 4,000-contract March 19, 2027 CHF110/CHF140 put spread - indicate institutional players are structuring positions that hedge for …
Gap Inc. (GPS) is showing signs of durable recovery across Old Navy, Athleta and Banana Republic after a multi-year reset. Inventory control, improving full-price sell-through and a renewed product cadence create a setup where a defined long has favorable reward-to-risk. We lay out an entry at $12.50, a $18.00 target and a $9.50 stop with a primary…
Palantir’s recent quarter showed blistering growth and exceptional profitability metrics that argue the next leg up will be led by the U.S. Commercial segment. The business has generated free cash flow of roughly $3.36B and expanded margins while revenue growth accelerated to ~93% in the latest quarter. Despite a rich valuation, a focused swing tra…
Kuaishou has the pieces for a social-commerce breakout: deep engagement, native live-stream shopping, and growing merchant adoption. With limited public line-item figures available in the materials I reviewed, this trade is a conviction on execution and multiple expansion rather than a numbers-only call. Entry $40.00, target $120.00, stop $28.00 - …
Options market pricing implies Braze Inc. shares could move about 14% when the company reports earnings after the close on Sept. 8. Historical patterns show the stock has outpaced the options-implied move in five of the last eight earnings releases, though recent results have varied in magnitude and direction.
Picard Medical stock dropped 14.5% in morning trading after retreating from a late-August speculative spike that had lifted the share price by more than 35% in a single session. The slide reflects a pattern common to thinly traded micro-cap names: momentum-driven rallies that reverse quickly when short-term traders rotate out. Underlying the declin…
Nordic American Tankers (NAT) remains an attractive income and trade candidate after another quarter that reinforced cash generation and shareholder returns. With a $1.45B market cap, a 9.1% yield, recent dividend increases and fleet additions, NAT offers asymmetric reward for patient swing traders and income investors. Technicals show near-term st…
Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) looks like a high-conviction trade as commercial real estate services begin to recover. Fundamentals - a sub-0.4 debt-to-equity ratio, $1.12B in free cash flow and mid-teens P/E - combine with sector catalysts (capital markets pickup, tech monetization and ESG demand) to make a compelling risk/reward. Enter $358.03, stop $3…
Government borrowing costs across major economies have climbed to levels not seen in decades. A mix of higher inflation expectations, renewed oil-price pressure tied to U.S.-Iran tensions, large corporate bond issuance to fund AI infrastructure and mounting public debt have propelled sovereign yields higher.
