Summary Align's recent earnings were underwhelming, leading to a 21.56% YTD stock drop. Q2 2024 earnings showed mixed results, with EPS beating estimates but revenue slightly lower than expected. Align's potential lies in its large TAM, strong gross margin, and top management, but growth needs to accelerate for investor trust. Align has the potential to be a quality compounder with its stellar balance sheet.

Summary Palantir's stock dropped after Q1 2024 earnings due to lower-than-expected Q2 guidance, but the overall growth story remains intact. Q1 earnings beat estimates, with increased revenue and net income, and strong growth in customer base and deal values. PLTR appears undervalued based on its PEG ratio, and its potential inclusion in the S&P 500 could further boost its stock price. Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Palantir Technologies' (NYSE:PLTR) stock price dropped after its Q1 2024 earnings were announced. Interestingly, it was not the earnings themselves that startled investors. Instead, their less-than-expected guidance for Q2 caused the stock to drop by up to 10% on the following trading day.

bfk92 Introduction It has been several months since we last covered ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:ZIM), where we gave it a buy rating of $21. The stock has since plunged primarily due to very poor Q1 and Q2 results, posting huge losses and missing significantly on the top and bottom lines. The company then decided against paying big dividends, which many investors found attractive about ZIM. Although ZIM has a free cash flow ("FCF") yield of over 200% (FCF based on TTM numbers), the stock is hitting new all-time lows. It is, therefore, worth taking a closer look at the stock and seeing how it fares against competitors. In addition, w

Justin Paget Introduction: Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) plummeted after its most recent earnings report at the end of August.

RudyBalasko Introduction When looking for stocks that provide passive income for your retirement, you are looking for some safer investments that help you sleep at night. VICI Properties (NYSE:VICI) is a stock that has been adored by many dividend investors. As such, VICI might be considered as a boring stock, but that's exactly what you want in your retirement portfolio. A stock that pays you every quarter while having some capital appreciation along the way. Currently, the stock gives a 5.32% dividend yield, and we believe VICI is an interesting buy with this yield on cost (of course without the fundamentals significantly changing). Today we will take a look at this beautiful casino REIT and we will discuss how you can increase this yiel

Joe Raedle Introduction Carvana’s (NYSE:CVNA) latest quarter was its best quarter ever. Nonetheless, the company is still highly unprofitable and debt-laden. Carvana was a darling of the zero-interest rate era, which caused the stock to soar to a high of $380. Unfortunately, it is unlikely for this meme stock to turn its business around. In our opinion, the company is valued as a growth company with exponential growth ahead of itself, while it is making strategic decisions that resemble that of a maturing company like Coca-Cola (KO). As such, we believe the company won’t be able to survive in the long run and we rate the stock as a strong sell. In this article, we will do a deep-dive on CVNA
