Microsoft (MSFT) pulled back sharply into oversold territory while fundamental earners - Azure, Microsoft 365, and free cash flow - remain intact. At ~2.98T market cap and ~25x earnings, the stock looks buyable for a mid-term swing (45 trading days) with a clear entry, stop and target that respect both momentum and valuation risk.
Merck is no longer the deeply discounted defensive name it was in mid-2025. After a strong run to a 52-week high and a guidance miss that leaves upside dependent on sustained Keytruda growth and strategic execution, we downgrade the stock and propose a mid-term short-biased trade to capture a likely pullback.
Starbucks reported early signs of a turnaround with improving comparable-store sales and a clear international expansion plan. The stock has run, but momentum remains intact and the valuation is tolerable given FCF generation and a large TAM. This trade proposes a mid-term tactical long at $99.50 with a $112 target and a $94 stop, sized for a mediu…
McDonald's is trading near 52-week highs with solid free cash flow and a newly declared $1.86 quarterly dividend. The business is asset-light, producing $7.06B in free cash flow against a $232.9B market cap, which supports buybacks and dividends even as traffic patterns shift. This trade targets a mid-term move as the market validates cash generati…
Circle Internet Group is trading at $57.10 after a sharp move lower from last year's highs. With a $13.4B market cap, strong stablecoin market share (USDC ~ $73.7B circulation), and renewed institutional buying, CRCL offers an asymmetric risk/reward as a swing trade. Entry $57.10, stop $48.00, target $85.00 — mid-term (45 trading days) plan.
Ingredion mixes defensive cash flows, a 2.7%+ dividend, and an attractive EV/EBITDA to create a low-volatility long idea.

Entry at $120.26, stop $105.00, target $145.00 over a 180-trading-day horizon.
Insight Enterprises is trading well below prior highs despite strong cash generation and an analyst consensus comfortably above the current price. This trade idea lays out an actionable long with entry at $89.19, a stop at $78.00, and a primary target of $130.00 over a long-term window (180 trading days). The rationale: attractive valuation (EV/EBI…
DXC Technology is showing a momentum breakout above short- and medium-term moving averages while trading at bargain-bin multiples. This note lays out an actionable long trade with entry, stop and two targets across short-, mid- and long-horizon timeframes, plus the key catalysts and risks to monitor.
Centene's recent membership declines and conservative 2026 outlook sparked a pullback, but the company is generating strong free cash flow, trading below book, and carries an EV/EBITDA below 5. We lay out a long trade plan that leans on improving margins, a recovering Medicaid roll, and potential multiple re-rating.
New Jersey Resources (NJR) is a classic regulated utility story: steady cash flow, a meaningful dividend (yield ~3.5%), and modest valuation metrics. Recent momentum has pushed the stock near its 52-week high, but the underlying fundamentals - regulated distribution, capacity/storage assets, and slow-but-real clean-energy investments - support a mi…
Rocket Lab (RKLB) gets an opportunistic upgrade to Buy after a Neutron tank rupture shook sentiment; the company's growing Space Systems backlog and an $816 million defense contract provide a clearer path to revenue and profitability, making a mid-term trade attractive at current levels.
Intuit has been hit hard in the sector-wide software selloff driven by fears of AI cannibalization. The pullback has left valuation and technicals in a position where a disciplined long trade makes sense: entry near $445.37, stop at $405.00, target $550.00 over a mid-term 45 trading-day horizon. The company still generates strong free cash flow, sp…
Hercules Capital (HTGC) has been punished on broad AI/tech fear, leaving a high-quality business development company trading below key moving averages and at an attractive P/E. With a market cap near $3.0B, a double-digit-ish yield, strong free cash flow and ROE north of 14%, HTGC offers an asymmetric risk/reward for a mid-term rebound. This trade …
Brookfield Asset Management has seen its share price pull back from 2025 highs even as fee-bearing capital, dividends and project wins point to continued earnings growth. The valuation looks rich on some metrics but improving fundamentals and concrete catalysts create a favorable risk-reward for a mid-term trade with a tight stop.
NetApp's mix of on-prem software and cloud services sits squarely in the path of hybrid-cloud and AI-driven storage demand. At a $20.5B market cap, the stock trades at a mid-teens PE and roughly 12x free cash flow — a valuation that looks reasonable if 2026 execution accelerates. This trade idea outlines a long entry, concrete targets and stops, ca…
Nvidia remains the dominant supplier of AI GPUs and data-center networking. Fundamentals (free cash flow $77.3B, ROE 83%, debt/equity 0.07) justify a disciplined long exposure despite rich multiples. This is a tactical swing trade: entry $176.70, stop $170.00, target $210.00 over a mid-term horizon (45 trading days).
Red Cat pre-announced Q4 2025 revenue of $24.0-26.5M driven by Black Widow deliveries and has moved from development to mass production with a $35M contract. The market is pricing rapid scaling into a $1.5B valuation; this trade captures upside to early analyst targets while protecting capital if execution slips.
United Bankshares (UBSI) looks expensive on momentum but remains fundamentally attractive: $6.3B market cap, 3.3% yield, low leverage, and recent M&A that boosts margins. I favor a controlled long with an entry at $45.52, stop at $42.00 and a mid-term target of $50.00 (45 trading days). Key risks include stretched technicals, rate sensitivity in mo…
Microsoft is trading below key moving averages after a sector-wide rotation. The business has the balance sheet, profitability and free cash flow ($77.4B) to fund AI investments that should compound revenue over the next several quarters. This trade idea lays out an entry at $403, stop at $365 and target of $470 over a mid-term horizon (45 trading …
SoFi has just pulled back into an oversold technical range after reporting strong Q4 2025 results and confident 2026 guidance. The combination of 38% YoY revenue growth, profitability acceleration, and an oversold RSI creates a favorable risk/reward for a mid-term swing trade. This idea defines an exact entry, stop, and target and lays out the rati…
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) remains a leading cybersecurity platform, but its lofty multiples, strained technicals, and a crowded competitive landscape leave it vulnerable to mean reversion. I prefer Fortinet exposure for valuation and capital-efficiency reasons; for actionable execution, short PANW at current levels with a mid-term horizon and clear…
Perfect Corp. (PERF) is trading near its 52-week low after a steep technical decline. The company still shows revenue growth driven by AI/AR cloud solutions and subscriber gains. With a market cap of roughly $140M and a P/E of ~24x, this trade aims to capture a mid-term bounce into value re-rating or technical mean reversion while containing downsi…
JD.com is trading like a beaten cyclical despite a $45.1B market cap, single-digit P/E and a 3.5% yield. Weak sentiment and heavy short activity have compressed the stock to near its 52-week low. If you believe China commerce consolidates and BNPL and instant-commerce tailwinds favor scale players, JD offers asymmetric reward: risk-managed entry at…
Visa's core payments franchise remains intact: high margins, double-digit ROE, and $23B in free cash flow let management keep buying growth and returning capital. Valuation is rich, but a disciplined entry around $328 with a $310 stop and $360 target offers a favorable mid-term trade while catalysts like the China remittance rollout and steady cons…
Millicom (Tigo) has completed a string of Colombia deals that create a near-monopoly scale for network investment. The market is starting to price this optionality: the stock trades near multi-year highs, yields ~4.5%, and carries a sensible P/E of ~10.2. This trade idea targets a pullback entry to play an infrastructure re-rating driven by consoli…
