Tickers discussed in this post
Service Now is a buy due to its high quality, significant multiple compression, and reasonable expectations, despite missing the top five for slightly less margin of safety.
CG is a strong watchlist name with a good theme and long-term demand story, but lacks sufficient margin of safety for a top buy.
Constellation Energy is an interesting AI-adjacent story due to nuclear power and data center electricity demand, with its forward P/E now below the 5-year average, making it more attractive.
MercadoLibre is a favorite long-term growth company, but its valuation still requires a lot to go right, offering only an 11% margin of safety.
Broadcom is a brilliant business but not beaten down, with a valuation still reflecting its premium AI winner status and a low margin of safety.
Palantir is a great company with strong revenue growth and improving margins, but its valuation remains too high with a 5% margin of safety, making it not a buy today.
Tesla is mentioned as a company with a trajectory that SpaceX might need to emulate to justify its current valuation.
SpaceX is not recommended for purchase at its current $2.1 trillion market cap due to an extremely high valuation (125x revenue), making it a poor investment despite being a great company.
Uber is mentioned as a stock that is down from recent highs.
