As more and more valuation measures continue to signal rising risk in the stock market, we see the Warren Buffett Indicator has reached its highest level on record, which now dwarfs levels seen during both the dot-com bubble of 2000 and the housing bubble of 2008.

Alongside these warnings, we see markets reacting strongly to headlines. All major indices soared on Friday as Chair Powell hinted conditions “may warrant” a rate cut at the next FED meeting.

The higher markets climb in the face of stretched valuations, the greater the risk of sharp corrections.

Does this mean there are no investment opportunities left? No.

As 2Q25 earnings season came to an end, we hosted our last Earnings Watch Party this week! These watch parties detail what earnings reports really say about companies and the current trends in the market. This week’s watch party covered WMT, HD, LOW, TJX, TGT, WSM, DIDIY, BIDU and more.

We created $2.5 million value-add for our members this footnotes season.

FREE Stock Picks: We shared a free stock pick from our Exec Comp Aligned with ROIC Model Portfolio.

We published two Danger Zone reports this week. The first Danger Zone report highlights a company selling off assets to keep its business alive, while the stock price implies an improbably profitable future.

The second Danger Zone pick shows decelerating revenue growth, its profitability ranks at the bottom of its industry, and its cash burn lands it back on the Zombie Stock list. 

On the Model Portfolio front, we updated our Safest Dividend Yields Model Portfolio and our Focus List Stocks: Long Model Portfolio.

We closed one of our Long Idea positions this week due to the stock no longer offering the attractive Risk/Reward it once did.

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!
