Vir (VIR) is trading around $8.79, a price that implies investors are paying only modestly above the company's reported cash cushion while giving little credit to upcoming clinical catalysts and recent partnership activity.

At roughly $49.70 and a market cap near $34.5B, the stock is trading at ~7.5x reported earnings with a modest dividend yield. Given resilient travel demand in China and a valuation that looks stretched toward the downside, I recommend a structured long trade for long-t…

Fundamentals remain solid — 39% revenue growth in 2025, $414M net income and 52.7M DAU — and valuation is reasonable for a profitable growth name (P/E ~12.4, EV/S ~3.72). If management can execute on its 100M DAU target by 2028, upside is meaningful. This is a mid-term swing…

WaFd (WAFD) has lagged peers recently but still trades at single-digit P/E relative to earnings power, pays a 3%-plus yield and sits only a few dollars below its recent 52-week high.
