Kratos (KTOS) trades near $63 with strong defense market tailwinds and a stretched valuation that only makes sense if operating margins improve. This is a tactical, swing trade: buy on discipline at $63, stop at $55, target $85 over the next 45 trading days, but tighten risk if margins stall or FCF remains negative.
Palantir's blowout Q2 results and upgraded full-year outlook complete the rebound I forecast earlier this year.

The Mediterranean restaurant chain posted robust second-quarter results that beat Cowen’s estimates, and management reported se…
TFS Financial (TFSL) looks set to benefit from steady loan growth, a hefty cash dividend and improving investor sentiment in regional banks. Valuation is reasonable on a price-to-book around 2.6 and the stock sits below its 52-week high, giving room for a mid-term rebound. I outline a precise entry, stop and target for a 45-trading-day swing trade …

This is a mid-term trade idea designed to capture a re-appraisal of the business w…
Cameco (CCJ) is a core uranium supplier that also owns a major equity interest in Westinghouse. Recent weakness after an earnings miss masks an attractive asymmetric trade: Westinghouse IPO timing has compressed, and an IPO could meaningfully re-rate Cameco’s valuation. We upgrade to a tactical long with a mid-term horizon and a defined entry, stop…

Diana Shipping (DSX) looks like a pragmatic long here after a recent rating upgrade. The stock trades like a low-growth, low-return shipping play while the underlying shipping market and fleet economics have a chance to re-rate DSX closer to peers such as GNK. This trade targets a re-rating over the next 45 trading days with tight risk control.
Skeena Resources (SKE) is transitioning from developer to producer at the Eskay Creek gold-silver project.

The trade below targets a move toward the 52-w…
OPKO (OPK) trades like a beaten-down biotech but carries a diagnostics franchise and a balance sheet that make a measured long position attractive. With a market cap near $1.02B, EV/sales ~1.8x, improving technicals and upcoming program milestones with Entera Bio, I prefer a long trade sized modestly for recovery upside while protecting against con…
Canadian and U.S. officials intensified negotiations after Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone, as Ottawa races to prevent new 50% U.S. tariffs scheduled to begin at midnight on Wednesday.
