Devon Energy: Upgrade to Buy as Permian Focus and Valuation Align

Devon Energy: Upgrade to Buy as Permian Focus and Valuation Align

We upgrade Devon Energy (DVN) to Buy. The stock trades at roughly fair-to-attractive multiples (EV/EBITDA ~7.5, P/E ~12), generates ~$1.48B of free cash flow and carries modest leverage. With a tighter focus on the Permian and a cleaner balance sheet after the June 2026 exchange offers, DVN offers asymmetric upside to $60 over the next 180 trading …

Upgrading FormFactor to Strong Buy and Lifting Our Target After Durable Q2 Beat and Durable AI/Photonics Tailwinds

Upgrading FormFactor to Strong Buy and Lifting Our Target After Durable Q2 Beat and Durable AI/Photonics Tailwinds

I upgraded FormFactor (FORM) to Strong Buy and am raising my 180-day price target to $155.00. The company reported a clean Q2 beat, delivered $258.2M in revenue and strong free-cash-flow, and is expanding into silicon photonics and quantum cryogenic test markets. Valuation looks rich on the surface, but underpinned by durable FCF margins, a low-deb…

Venture Global: Ride the LNG Supercycle - A Practical Long Trade

Venture Global: Ride the LNG Supercycle - A Practical Long Trade

Venture Global is scaling into a world hungry for U.S. LNG. Recent commissioning wins, a lifted EBITDA guide and fresh long-term contracts with China Gas give revenue visibility while the share price still trades at a reasonable multiple. This trade idea lays out a long entry with specific price, stop and target for a 180-trading-day horizon.

CrowdStrike: Ride the AI-Reckoning in Cybersecurity with a Tactical Long

CrowdStrike: Ride the AI-Reckoning in Cybersecurity with a Tactical Long

CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform sits at the intersection of two fast-growing vectors: cloud-native security and AI-driven threat detection. With market cap near $248B and FCF roughly $1.61B, the stock is richly priced, yet near-term catalysts tied to AI safety headlines and regulatory focus create a clear window for a directional trade. This idea out…

Charles Schwab Goes On The AI Offensive: A Tactical Long at $108.17

Charles Schwab Goes On The AI Offensive: A Tactical Long at $108.17

Charles Schwab is investing heavily in AI to lift client engagement, reduce operating cost per account, and accelerate asset gathering. With H1 2026 revenue up 18% to $13.6B and EPS momentum (earnings +41% in H1), the stock trades at a reasonable P/E ~19.5 and a market cap near $187B. This trade idea takes a constructive view: enter at $108.17, sto…

UPS: Leaner Network and a Better Revenue Mix Make a Convincing Buy Here

UPS: Leaner Network and a Better Revenue Mix Make a Convincing Buy Here

United Parcel Service (UPS) has pulled the plug on low-margin Amazon volume, cut complexity from its U.S. network, and is seeing early signs of international recovery. At today's price near $102, UPS offers a 6%+ yield, $5.5B in free cash flow, and a PE of ~19. The trade: buy for mid-term upside to $120 with a $95 stop, sized for a medium-risk allo…

Buy the Q3 Dip in Unusual Machines: Setup for a Q4 Re-rate

Buy the Q3 Dip in Unusual Machines: Setup for a Q4 Re-rate

Unusual Machines (UMAC) looks priced for perfection. A weak Q3 will likely compress the stock near-term, but that same weakness could create an attractive entry into a company with clear sector catalysts: Pentagon interest, Russell 2000 inclusion tailwinds, and partner activity in the $1B Drone Dominance program. We outline an actionable long trade…

Carlyle (CG): Buy the Oversold Fee Engine for an Asymmetric Upside

Carlyle (CG): Buy the Oversold Fee Engine for an Asymmetric Upside

Carlyle trades near $41 with an attractive income kicker and multiple fee-growth levers (wealth push, credit, and strategic buyouts). The shares are oversold technically (RSI ~27) and trade at a reasonable EV/EBITDA (10.2) vs. private-market optionality. I favor a tactical long for patient investors—entry $40.50, target $55.00, stop $37.50—over a 1…

Sanmina: AI Rack Ramp Resets the Earnings Floor — A Tactical Long

Sanmina: AI Rack Ramp Resets the Earnings Floor — A Tactical Long

Sanmina is benefiting from a structural shift in demand for AI server racks and associated subsystems. With FCF near $594M, improving margins, and a market cap of roughly $10.4B, the stock offers a compelling risk-reward for a long trade over the next 180 trading days. This idea lays out entry at $194.39, stop at $170.00 and a target of $260.00, pl…
