At roughly $5.40 per share and a $20.4B market cap, Stellantis looks priced for disappointment. That pessimism is overdone in my view. Low book multiple, heavy short interest, and stabilizing technicals set up a mid-term (45 trading days) tactical long to $8.00 with a tight stop below the 52-week low. This is a trade, not a full conviction buy.
A freshly opened block of 60,000 Dec 17, 2027 EUR28 call options on Fortum set a new volume record, representing a concentrated, long-dated directional position that requires the stock to trade roughly 17% above today's price to finish in the money. The trade follows a sharp share-price reaction to a 22-year PPA with Alphabet and near-simultaneous …
An apparent institutional buyer established 3,150 fresh Nov. 20, 2026 SPIE contracts across three strikes, all with zero prior open interest, in the same session Jefferies raised the stock to Buy with a €55 target. The trade structure combines a long call spread and a long put, creating a bullish skew with explicit tail protection while market vola…
Polish equities closed higher on Friday, led by gains in the Basic Materials, Construction and Oil & Gas sectors. The WIG30 index rose 0.64% as several blue-chip names advanced, though decliners narrowly outnumbered gainers and commodity prices showed notable movement, with crude oil down sharply and gold edging higher.
Needham & Company has identified five biotechnology stocks as its top picks for the second half of 2026, retaining Buy ratings and issuing price targets for each name. Catalysts cited by the firm include Phase 3 and Phase 2 data readouts across epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease psychosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, binge eating disorder, and orexin-…
Private equity firm GTCR is reportedly in negotiations to acquire supply-chain software provider SPS Commerce. Sources say a deal could be announced soon, though talks remain unfinished and could collapse or attract competing bidders. SPS, based in Minneapolis, has been working with an investment bank to evaluate a possible sale amid pressure from …
Microsoft remains the safest scaled play on AI infrastructure and enterprise software. At $495, the stock offers a reasonable risk-reward: durable free cash flow, a healthy balance sheet and secular exposure to AI and cloud adoption. Technicals show near-term consolidation; we prefer a limit entry near $492.44, a $470 stop and a $540 target over th…
Alkermes trades like a commercial-stage CNS company with a sizable market cap ($7.7B), steady free cash flow (~$222M last reported) and an active pipeline. The stock sits below its 52-week high ($55.67) after a year of M&A and pipeline repositioning. I view ALKS as a long with a 180-trading-day horizon: the base business finances optionality, while…
Intuitive Machines finished Q2 with a record $1.8 billion backlog and $920 million in awards, setting the revenue runway for 2026 and beyond. Revenue growth is real (Q2 revenues of $206.2M, +310% YoY) and the company expects 25-30% of backlog to convert to 2026 revenue. That makes LUNR a tactical long for patient traders who accept execution risk: …
Ocugen (OCGN) trades near $1 with a market cap around $342M. With 12-month Phase 2 data for its modifier gene therapy program being presented at industry meetings in September, this trade idea targets a mid-term move into and through the data event. The setup leans long into the catalyst while explicitly hedging around heavy short interest, thin te…
Oracle's recent drop is driven by angst over $55.7B in FY2026 capex, a projected $70B in FY2027, and a planned $40B financing package. Those are big numbers, but they sit against a gargantuan $638B remaining performance obligation and accelerating cloud revenue. We view the selloff as an overreaction. Enter at $151.24 with a $225 target over a 180 …
Verizon (VZ) combines a 5.6% yield, healthy free cash flow and improving service convergence (wireless + fixed + edge + enterprise) at a reasonable valuation. We present a mid-term trade idea that leans into catalyst-driven re-rating while protecting capital with a tight stop.
The U.S. Treasury increased the maximum size of its long-dated debt buyback to $6 billion from $2 billion, a move that fell short of calming investors. After the operation, in which $5.187 billion of 10- and 20-year securities were repurchased, long-term Treasury yields rose to multi-week and multi-month highs, underscoring market skepticism that m…
Southern Company (SO) trades near $88 with a $101B market cap, 12.8x EV/EBITDA and an 11% ROE. Negative free cash flow and high leverage are real issues, but rate-base growth, data-center load wins and a supportive regulatory backdrop make the stock a buy for a 180-trading-day horizon with defined entry, stop and target.
Taysha (TSHA) is a clinical-stage AAV gene therapy company whose lead program, TSHA-102 for Rett syndrome, has advanced through pivotal dosing and gained regulatory alignment on manufacturing and BLA strategy. With roughly $320M in cash, a completed $200M offering in June, and a market cap near $1.6B, TSHA offers asymmetric upside if clinical reado…
Federal banking regulators on Friday released a proposed, principles-based set of guidelines intended to help banks and credit unions align third-party risk management to the risks presented by individual vendor relationships. The Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC and NCUA said the guidance is non-binding and would replace existing third-party risk guidan…
Morocco's stock market closed lower on Friday, with the Moroccan All Shares index dropping 0.91% in Casablanca. Losses in the Utilities, Banking and Mining sectors contributed to the decline. More than twice as many stocks fell as rose, and global commodity moves — notably declines in crude and Brent oil — accompanied the local selloff. Currency mo…
QatarEnergy is in talks with multiple U.S. and international LNG producers to secure multi-year supply contracts running to 2031, as it attempts to offset production lost when Iranian strikes damaged facilities at Ras Laffan. The company’s trading arm is reportedly targeting 2-3 million tonnes per annum to plug a portfolio gap created by the outage…
Colgate-Palmolive is evaluating the potential sale of several mass-market personal-care brands, including Softsoap, Irish Spring and Speed Stick. The company has engaged Goldman Sachs to canvass potential buyers for a carve-out of a portion of its personal care division that could attract proceeds in excess of $1 billion. The move is framed as a po…
BSX has collapsed from a $105 52-week high to $43 and is trading at valuation levels that reflect a tough 2026. The company still generates strong free cash flow, has manageable leverage, and a product pipeline exposed to growing adjacencies (IVL, renal denervation, AF devices). This trade idea outlines a mid-term long with explicit entry, stop, an…
S&P Global Ratings shifted SK Innovation's outlook from negative to stable and kept the company's BBB- long-term issuer credit rating, pointing to a forecasted surge in 2026 earnings driven by refining margins and lubricant tightness, as well as planned asset disposals that should reduce debt. The agency expects EBITDA to rise markedly in 2026 befo…
Vicor Corporation is acquiring two large industrial sites in Merrimack and Hooksett, New Hampshire, to build ChiP Fab-2 and Fab-3, significantly increasing its power component manufacturing capacity beyond the current Fab-1 in Massachusetts. This expansion aims to support advanced AI applications by providing scalable, high-performance Vertical Pow…
Greek shares finished higher on Friday with the Athens General Composite rising 1.07% to a five-year high. Strength in the Banking, Construction and Travel sectors powered the advance. Piraeus Bank and Optima bank recorded multi-year highs, while select property and healthcare names trailed. Commodity moves were mixed, with crude oil sliding and go…
Dell Technologies (DELL) is trading at $563.75, up 11.28% as of Sep 11, 10:47 AM EDT. The $565–$570 area is the immediate battleground: a sustained move above it would open a run toward the next resistance cluster, while failure to clear that band would keep pullback levels in focus. Technical gauges show strong trend strength on longer timeframes …
Apple’s first mainstream foldable, the iPhone Duo (branded iPhone Ultra in some reports), paired with broad carrier distribution and Apple's services moat, gives the company a clear path to dominate premium foldables. The stock trades on a premium multiple but is backed by $136.7B in free cash flow and a $4.89T market cap. I recommend a long trade …
