The media is never short on headlines.
Nvidia became the first company to achieve a $5 trillion valuation. This feat comes just three months after the company hit the $4 trillion mark. The AI train is rolling full steam ahead.
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the second time this year, as expected. Perhaps unexpectedly, the Fed sounded more skeptical of another rate cut before year-end.
President Trump talked trade with Chinese president Xi in South Korea and, in his own words, rated the meeting 12 out of 10. The reported results? Lower tariffs, commitments on decreasing the flow of fentanyl, soybean purchases, and reduced restrictions on China’s rare earth materials.
Additionally, most of the mega cap stocks driving the market this year, such as Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon reported earnings this week.

Earnings Watch Parties:
In this week’s watch party, we dove into AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN, V, and more. These watch parties provide investors with valuable earnings insights that can’t be found anywhere else. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our Earnings Watch Party replay from last week where we covered NFLX, TSLA, KO, IBM, T, and more.
FREE Stock Picks:
We shared a free stock pick from our Safest Dividend Yields Model Portfolio and a free stock pick from the Bloomberg New Constructs 500 Index.
Clients-only Picks:
This week’s Danger Zone pick features a company whose valuation implies that it will go from one of the smallest to the largest retailer in its industry in the U.S. in the coming years. Meanwhile, the company currently remains unprofitable and lacks the scale of its much larger competitors.
Our Long Idea this week recently beat both top- and bottom-line estimates in 3Q25 and raised full year 2025 guidance. After the results, the company’s stock jumped significantly, and investors may think it’s time to pump the brakes. We think it’s time to step on the gas.
Model Portfolio Updates:
We updated our Dividend Growth Stocks and Focus List Stocks: Short Model Portfolios.
Sector and Style Fund Rankings for 4Q25:
We published both our Sector and Style Rankings reports for 4Q25. We also published our best and worst ETFs and Mutual Funds reports for each individual sector.
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!
