Last week the market neared record highs, this week it broke records. Beneath the surface, it was not all so good. The NASDAQ lagged the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, as some of the shine on the AI trade wore off. Oracle (ORCL) fell over 10% after reporting earnings, a drop that should not shock anyone that read our Danger Zone report The Losers in the AI Arms Race.

As investors rotate out of tech (at least for this week), and seek value elsewhere, measuring price-implied expectations becomes even more important. Everyone knows that most technology stocks are trading at expensive levels, but what about the rest of the market?

We’re here to help you identify the best stocks and avoid the stocks where expectations have gotten too far away from reality.

Long Idea:

This week’s Long Idea features a well-known business trading at a substantial discount. The company is successfully capitalizing on rising demand, improving profitability, and provides a quality shareholder yield.

Danger Zone:

This week’s Danger Zone pick takes a closer look at one of the most recognizable players in a popular industry. The stock has rallied this year on hopes of a long-awaited turnaround and on hype and narrative. We think now is the time to remind investors just how dangerous this stock is.

Private Off-Ramp:

We’re taking the win and closing this Danger Zone pick after it agreed to be acquired. Even after the acquisition premium, this pick outperformed strongly as a Danger Zone short.

Featured Stocks:

We featured two stocks this week, one from our Most Attractive Stocks Model Portfolio and one from our Most Dangerous Stocks Model Portfolio. Get buying opportunities and defense against pitfalls with these picks.

Model Portfolio Updates:

We updated our Exec Comp Aligned with ROIC Model Portfolio.
