Tickers discussed in this post
Taiwan Semi has taken over the lucrative chip processor market for laptops from Intel.
Nvidia was previously rated a C but moved back up to a B, indicating potential for recovery and improvement.
Quanta Services looks strong and is benefiting from data center expansion, making it a great buy on pullbacks.
GE Vernova sells natural gas turbines with a large order backlog, but is more volatile, so it should only be bought on a pullback.
Bloom Energy's natural gas fuel cells are perceived as more efficient than turbines for data centers, making it a great buy on pullbacks.
Elbit Systems is the best defense stock, involved in missile shields and with big contracts with US defense firms, making it a great buy on pullbacks.
Ciena is a networking company doing incredibly well, described as a smaller cap but explosive stock that is a phenomenal buy on any pullback.
Micron Technology has explosive sales and earnings, is investing further in its memory chip business, and is a phenomenal buy on any pullback.
Seagate Technology is a favorite A-rated stock that the creator would buy on any dip, citing explosive sales and earnings.
Kinross Gold remains one of the safest gold stocks with a very strong forecast for sales and earnings, making it a buy on any pullback.
Coherent Corporation had a nice beat, good sales, and steadily rising analyst estimates, with expected 52.4% earnings growth, warranting attention but not yet strong enough for a buy.
SanDisk is an outstanding stock with massive analyst earnings revisions, a 75% earnings surprise, and excellent guidance, making it a potential next portfolio addition.
Intel has rebounded but faces significant issues, including losing chip dominance to Taiwan Semi and a stalled Ohio plant deal, making it a recovering stock unlikely to regain its former glory.
SoFi has a popular lending platform and a good surprise history, but it's not strong enough for a buy recommendation due to its international focus and minor analyst trim.
Despite a recent downgrade to a C rating, Palantir's fundamentals are outstanding and it is expected to bounce back, similar to Nvidia's past performance.
