$Phunware, Inc.(PHUN)$Given the firm's internal growth initiatives, I anticipate that Phunware will face margin compression towards the end of eFY24 and throughout eFY25. This is due to its efforts to strengthen go-to-market strategy, coupled with the increased R&D expenses. Based on this analysis, I assign PHUN shares a STRONG SELL rating with a price target of $3.01 per share, representing a 5.71x multiple of eFY25 price-to-sales.
$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$It's up roughly 20% since the last report. But, the larger question is this thing is a great performer why is up 2% on the year, when its peers like $Ally(ALLY)$ and $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ are all up 40+% on the year. SOFI has significantly underperformed its peer group for 2 years. You could have literally put your money in cash at the start of the year and yielded 5%.
$Apple(AAPL)$I'm a skeptic that any of the AI hyped products or services will be monetized, but that applies to Apple's peers as well. The idea that $Microsoft(MSFT)$ is in the catbird's seat 2nd only to $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ I think is absurd. Windows recall is a joke, and Windows Autopilot has been renamed how many times now? Few will pay for a subscription to use it. AI features will just be folded into current products and services like any other incremental improvement, just like always. People don't expect to pay for incremental improvements, they think it is table stakes. An AI reset of expectations is coming, but the idea that App
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$I’m thinking about selling because of valuation concerns and the stock price, but I also want to hold for long-term growth. If it doesn’t reach my $30 target—where it has shown resistance—I could end up losing on what I sold and then have to buy back at a higher price, negating any profits I pocketed.I know I might not be a patient investor, but I believe this company has the potential for fantastic ROI over time. Why did I sell before the earnings report? Sure, it could drop, but if it rises, I might never see $30 again. It feels like a risky move.
$PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ PDD has been on this crazy downward spiral for days, and it feels like we’re just waiting for a decent bounce. It’s so frustrating! Every time I think it might finally turn around, it just keeps dropping. I can’t help but wonder if it’s on track to hit 100 again. It’s hard not to get anxious watching this. I really want to believe in the company’s potential, but this pattern is making it tough. I just hope we see some positive movement soon.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ I recently initiated very small OTM puts position mostly as a gentle hedge in my portfolio. I think this company's valuation is way way over-done, and I don't think the cashflow will catch up any time soon. But it doesn't mean I necessarily want to step in front of a train. Some folks wondered if they should trim their positions, my 2 cents is yes, if you have been holding this stock, it would not be a bad time to take at least some green off the table. Good luck!
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$Despite impressive ad revenue growth and promising VR efforts, Meta’s Reality Labs has been a significant drain on profitability, with cumulative losses surpassing $50 billion since 2020. This ongoing financial burden poses a major risk to sustainable growth, as continued high expenses could offset gains from AI and VR advancements
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ AMD still bearish, it just made a lower high to form another bear flag! AMD Been riding a down trend since the highs of March. Downtrend look to be breaking but down she goes again. Earnings next Tues. $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ has been the clear winner in the Ai chip race + software race.Image
$JD.com(JD)$This situation feels like the result of problems building up over time, and now they’re coming to a head. It’s like the first domino has fallen. JD’s market share will likely be chipped away by competitors bit by bit, and their heavy assets are starting to look more like a burden. It’s hard not to draw parallels with the fates of Gome and Suning. In a highly competitive environment, if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind. The weight of inefficiency could drag JD down unless they make some serious changes.
$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$For now ASML stock is gutted, down 38% from its high and there will be further bad news. Moreover, following the results, the numbers will be reworked and the analysts will downgrade this stock which will be a sentiment spoiler in the weeks and months ahead. This is going down more before it can move to the lofty value
