Jefferies raised its EBITDA estimates and p…

Nu Holdings reported strong Q1 2026 revenue ($5.32B, +42% YoY) and record net interest income ($3.25B) but the stock sold off on margin and U.S. investment concerns. At a $62.0B market cap and a P/E of ~18.7, the pullback looks like an overreaction. This trade idea lays out an entry at $12.80, stop at $11.50, and a mid-term target of $16.50 (45 tra…

LKQ Corporation looks cheap on every common metric: P/E ~12.7, P/FCF ~8.2 and free cash flow of $808M against a $6.59B market cap. The business is defensive by nature — parts distribution to repair shops — but near-term headline risk from acquisition integration lawsuits has pressured the stock. This trade buys the disconnect with a defined risk-ma…

ServiceNow is still a high-quality workflow automation franchise, but the stock is priced for near-flawless execution. With decelerating revenue growth, eroding gross margins, and stretched multiples (market cap $106B, P/E ~61, EV/FCF ~23), a disciplined short that leans on event risk and valuation re-rating looks attractive. Entry $102.00, stop $1…
