Nu Holdings is trading below its 50-day average after a sell-off driven by questions about its U.S. strategy.

Adobe: Oversold, Cash-Generating Software Powerhouse — Buy on Weakness

Adobe is trading like a growth company with broken fundamentals — when in reality it remains a high-margin, cash-generative franchise with durable pricing power and a healthy balance sheet. At current levels the stock offers an attractive entry for a long trade with defined risk, multiple near-term catalysts and a realistic path to meaningful upsid…

SMG: Income, Deleveraging, and a Tactical Long Setup

Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) offers a pragmatic long trade: stable consumer cash flow, a meaningful dividend, progress on debt reduction and a simplification of the business after the Hawthorne divestiture. Valuation metrics (EV/EBITDA ~11.7, P/FCF ~9.8) and a $358M free cash flow run rate underpin a mid-term entry. The trade balances income with a def…

US Foods (USFD): A Defensive Long for a Trade-Down Environment

US Foods (USFD): A Defensive Long for a Trade-Down Environment

US Foods is trading like a dependable distributor benefitting from consumer trade-downs and consolidation in foodservice. With $959M in free cash flow, a $20.16B equity value and an EV/EBITDA of 15.0, the business is cash-generative and relatively insulated versus restaurants and consumer discretionary names. We present a mid-term (45 trading days)…

Buy the Moat, Respect the Scars: A Tactical Long on UnitedHealth

UnitedHealth (UNH) is a battered franchise trading at $304.80 with a $276.3B market cap, 2026 EPS of $13.28 and free cash flow of $16.08B. Recent CMS Medicare Advantage rate tailwinds and Optum-driven efficiency improvements underpin a constructive mid-term trade. I'm advocating a tactical long: entry $305.00, target $360.00, stop $285.00, mid-term…
