New inflation data slightly stalled the market mid-week, but, at time of writing, it remains on pace for another positive week. Although inflation remains high and it looks like the Fed won’t cut interest rates anytime soon, the market treads on. 

Apart from macro data, earnings reports continue to dominate the headlines this week. To help make sense of the influx of numbers and narratives, we hosted three more Earnings Watch parties this week. In these sessions, which are free to join, CEO David Trainer takes a look at our Ratings for the biggest stocks in the market and uses our reverse DCF model to determine how cheap or expensive these stocks really are. This week some of the stocks we looked at were CVS, DD, LYFT, DASH, ABNB, and more.

We’ll be hosting three more watch parties next week for OXY, WMT, BYND, SHAK, BIRK and more. Register for free here.

One of the biggest names to report earnings recently was Amazon. When we ran it through our reverse DCF model during our Earnings Watch, we found that the market’s expectations for future cash flows were shockingly high. The expectations investing approach allows us to look at stocks like AMZN and truly understand how fruitful a future is already baked into the stock.

Not interested in the minutiae of earnings season? No problem. We’ve got multiple other trainings scheduled for next week.

We will host this month’s Let’s Talk Long Ideas on Feb 18th. This training is exclusive to our Pro & Institutional members where we have in-depth discussions about our Long Ideas.

On Thursday February 20th, we will be hosting a live training session where we’ll reveal a Golden Metric and show you how to use it to find undervalued stocks that Wall Street overlooks. Register for free here.  

On Friday, February 21st, we’ll be going live for our monthly podcast. In these sessions, we discuss the narratives driving the market, review posts from our online community, take live Q&A, and even run a few requested tickers through our system based on audience requests. Register for free here.

Beyond live training sessions, who wants a FREE STOCK pick from the Dividend Growth Stocks Model Portfolio? We’ve got one for you here.

We also updated one of our Long Ideas this week. The market has overlooked this stock despite the strength of the company’s business.

On the Model Portfolio front, we published the latest Exec Comp Aligned with ROIC Model Portfolio and published the 2024 performance of all of our Model Portfolios.

Links to all our newly published research are below along with a preview for next week’s research.

We hope you have a great week!
