Nvidia’s GTC announcements spooked some investors despite fresh enterprise partnerships and a clear product roadmap. Fundamentals remain strong - $96.7B in free cash flow, ROE north of 76%, near-zero net leverage - and recent partner wins (Roche, Samsung, Adobe, CrowdStrike) support an inference-led revenue surge. I recommend a tactical long entry …

Nvidia's GTC 2026 announcements and a string of enterprise partnerships (Roche, CrowdStrike, Adobe, Samsung) make today a timely entry point for a tactical long. Valuation is rich - but cash flow, low leverage, and tangible commercial deployments justify a measured buy with a clear stop and target.

This is an actionable mid-term trade with entry, stop and target, sized for investors willing to take a m…

AerCap is trading at single-digit earnings multiples, sits well below its 52-week high but comfortably above its 2025 lows, and pays a modest dividend ahead of a March payout. We lay out a focused long trade using a $135.22 entry, a $155 target and a $120 stop. The thesis: cyclical recovery + durable leasing cashflows justify a re-rating; risks inc…
