The first wave of President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs took effect this week, with further measures expected early next week. Gold’s surge to a historic high as trade tensions intensified underscores the market’s sensitivity to geopolitical risk. Despite this backdrop, earnings season continues to deliver a mixed picture.
Volatility remains the market’s defining feature – sharp gains and losses (hello Sweetgreen (SG), Opendoor (OPEN), Snap (SNAP) and more!) are playing out across sectors, amplified by analyst upgrades and persistent headline-driven swings. Beneath the surface, uncertainty is running at cycle highs.
In such an environment, reactionary moves and panic selling can be costly. The antidote is clarity and trust. We provide superior fundamental research that you can trust, which gives you the insight and conviction needed to navigate turbulence and position with confidence.
Check out our research from this week to see the edge we provide!

Two FREE Stock Picks: We shared a free stock pick from our Safest Dividend Yields Model Portfolio and a free stock pick from our Dividend Growth Stocks Model Portfolio.
Our latest Long Idea generates robust cash flow and consistently returns capital to shareholders. We see this stock as a safe haven for your capital.
On the other hand, our latest Danger Zone features a company that’s selling off assets and diluting shareholders, its sales are declining, it has persistently negative profit margins, and its stock is overvalued.
On the Model Portfolio front, we updated both our Most Attractive Stocks and Most Dangerous Stocks Model Portfolios. We also updated our Focus List Stocks: Long. Additionally, we summarized the performances of all of our Model Portfolios for 2Q25.
We closed one of our Long Idea positions as the company faces industry headwinds and doesn’t offer the attractive risk/reward that it once did.
We ranked #1 in multiple categories on SumZero for stock picking again! Beating out 16,000 other buy side professionals for 50 consecutive months is no small feat.
We highlighted how Pro and above members can use our DIY ETF tool to build and weight their portfolios using our proven-superior research. Paying unnecessary fees to asset managers can be a thing of the past thanks to our technology.
Finally, we wrapped up our quarterly ETF and mutual fund series with four reports showing how to avoid the worst ETFs and mutual funds for both sector and style.
Links to all our newly published research are below along with a preview for next week’s research.
We hope you had a great week!
