EPAY

Is EPAY even valuable these days? Does anyone even talk about it anymore? Nobody mentions it to my knowledge...

Selling Alphabet

I don't see the benefit of holding it any longer. Should it be sold now or later on?

HABC

HABC is doing great numbers here. I bought it at this price and don't regret it at all.

Could Intel Foundry be what finally moves the stock?

I’m looking at Intel’s foundry business as a possible future stock grower, but I’m still not sure how realistic that is. Can Intel actually land enough big outside customers and make the business profitable, or will it just keep burning cash for... — read more 

Is IBM actually a growth stock now?

I’m looking at IBM as a possible investment, but I’m not sure what to make of it. There’s a lot of talk about AI, cloud, and Red Hat, but the company still seems like a slow-growing dividend stock. Are we seeing a real turnaround, or is IBM still... — read more 

Oh great, another layoff I don't care about

They just announced they're shutting down a warehouse and letting another 184 people go. That's on top of everything else. The stock is down, customers are buying less, and apparently gas prices are to blame for everything now. I don't even care... — read more 

Paying billions for a mess

They are burning up to $145 billion on AI this year, and their own CEO just admitted the whole reorganization has not delivered what they hoped for. The strategy keeps changing, they keep cutting people, and the AI tools that are supposed to be the... — read more 

New CEO, same old worry

Brian Evanko just took over as CEO. What’s with the timing? The outgoing CEO sold a big chunk of shares right before stepping down. Could be nothing, but it does raise the question of what he might have seen that we are not seeing yet.

Still can't get a read on this one

Stock hit a high a couple weeks ago and has been sliding since. The co-founder sold a bunch near the top, which always gives you that uneasy feeling. Some people say the travel business is solid and the summer bookings are strong. Other people look... — read more 

Suddenly a big fan of open source

So Jensen is out there pushing for open-source AI models, signing letters with all the big names. Sounds great. But reading the fine print, it's clear this isn't generosity. They give away the software to drive adoption and monetize the hardware... — read more 

FedEx

It's a competitive industry so I don't understand why FedEx doesn't start pulling its weight and stop playing around. There's still room and time to improve, so why don't they?

Good stock, bad luck

This hasn't been a good year for Fathom Realty. They have been truly unlucky lately. Maybe things will change for them for the better soon.

MLHR

Outdated ticker symbol. It is now MLK, just some news here. The company rebranded.

Stay away

The stock's down around 45 percent over the past few years and the P/E is sitting at just over 10x, which is roughly half the industry average. I've been very patient with it, but I think it's time to throw in the towel. You win some, you lose some... — read more 

Any thoughts on the rebranded company?

Regal Rexnord Corp (RRX) has been in my sight for a while, and now analysts seem to agree with me, considering it as one of the potential biggest industrial winners for this year. Target is just $10 above its current price, but I think there's... — read more 

Is anyone else digging into Aptar?

It's starting to look pretty interesting to me. The stock is currently around $130 but a lot of analysts see it going higher, with one optimistic target being $165. I'm not surprised, since I looked into it, and all business segments are doing well... — read more 

BMI

It definitely should be bought at this price. It's a no-brainer, really.

Finally seeing the con for what it is

The whole thing is a joke. Musk is fighting fraud verdicts left and right, people keep getting scammed using his name, and the only reason the company is still standing is that they buy their own batteries through SpaceX like some kind of money... — read more 

Not sure where this one lands

They raised their outlook and the stock has been recovering, but costs are still high and membership keeps slipping. The CEO sounds confident, the dividend keeps growing, but I cannot tell if this is a real turnaround or just a lot of optimism... — read more 

It's the president's favorite now

I don't really understand the AI stuff and I am not sure I need to. The stock is up a lot this year because of it. Now the president is telling everyone to buy Dell. It went up a bit after that. But the people who own a lot of shares are selling like... — read more 

Is this thing ever going to turn around?

Walmart keeps sliding. Am I holding a loser? Every time I check, it's a little lower. They're cutting prices, insiders are selling, and none of it feels right. Maybe I should just take the loss and move on. What would you do?

Always something with this one

They reported good earnings a few weeks ago, beat expectations and raised their outlook for the year, but the stock still dropped. The CFO left right after the report and that spooked everyone. Then I read that a couple of analysts downgraded it... — read more 

FAMI

This has become a really good investment over the last couple years. Which is surprising because FAMI wasn't this desirable in the beginning if I remember correctly.

DAN

DAN disappointed me this month. I hadn't expected that this stock would fall from grace so hard but it did.

What's wrong?

Is something going on behind the scenes that I'm not aware of? Why is the performance so poor this year? What's wrong with LSF?

SELF

Should SELF be sold at this time? Not exactly certain as to how to proceed here.

A bargain

On the most followed narrative, Carlisle Companies looks undervalued with a fair value estimate of $410.14 against a last close of $330.09, and that gap rests on some firm operating assumptions rather than... — read more 

Graco's about to celebrate its 100th anniversary

I think it's rather impressive to have stared with an air-powered grease g-n a hundred years ago and to do over $2.2 billion in sales today. I like stable companies that have been around forever, and this is one of my easy long holds. This will... — read more 

Which HP business is driving growth?

One thing I've been wondering is which HP business segment is driving results these days. Is the PC business finally leading the way, or is Print still doing most of the heavy lifting?

I think Sysco is quietly gaining market share

From what I've been seeing, it looks like Sysco is continuing to gain market share, and that's one of the main reasons I'm thinking about adding to my position. Between winning new customers and its scale advantage, the long-term story still looks... — read more 

Is MCK getting more profitable?

As a shareholder, one thing I always watch is whether MCK's operating margins are getting better. Is this coming from better efficiency and higher-margin businesses like specialty pharma, or is it mostly a temporary bump? what does everyone here... — read more 

AI chips that don't exist yet

All the AI hype pushed the stock up, and then it came back down. They had an Investor Day and promised big data center sales by 2029, but the chips do not even ship until 2028. That is a long time to wait for a story that is already priced in... — read more 

I’m tired of waiting

Chipotle was supposed to be the growth story everyone wanted, but lately it feels like the momentum just is not there. Sales are slower, costs are creeping up, and the new CEO has not really shown what he is planning to do differently. The stock has... — read more 

Waiting for some clarity on this one

June sales were okay but slowed down a bit, and the stock dropped about 5% on the news. Down quite a bit from the high back in May. The business itself is doing fine, but the price is hard to justify given how much it's run up. Not sure if this is a... — read more 

Kicked out and bleeding jobs

So they pulled us out of the Dow, and now the stock is sitting in the low forties, down almost 6%. On top of that, they are cutting hundreds more jobs, less than a year after slashing thirteen thousand. The CEO keeps talking about being leaner, which... — read more 

Should I sell right now?

Ferrari looks good right now but I'm not certain what I should do, if not sell immediately? Or should I wait after all?

SANW

When to sell exactly? I would love to know how to proceed here.

Diversification for the win

UFP Industries' biggest strength is being tied to so many markets, including but not limited to construction, packaging, and industrial products. Such diversified customer base definitely provides some safety in uncertain economic times such as... — read more 

Are AI centers the right play?

Aramark Nexus seems like a good idea on paper, but with the public sentiment set so firmly against data centers, it's inviting a lot of negativity that could cost the company in the future. Especially if the AI bubble actually pops. What exactly will... — read more 

SONG

SONG was delisted some time ago and is no longer an actively traded stock.

Jacobs is ki-ling it right now

I mean, how many companies can brag they've adjusted their EPS up 22 percent, with backlog hitting a record $27 billion in Q2? Plus, they raised guidance for the second straight quarter. If you're not considering this stock, I honestly don't know... — read more 

Upgrades and a sinking stock

They're getting upgraded left and right, and the stock is down quite a bit over the past month. Off the spring high and just sitting there. The Middle East stuff is supposed to settle down later this year, which should help, but the market does not... — read more 

Nobody knows what to do with this one

The stock has climbed 31% this year and management keeps talking about a turnaround. But for some reason the chairman's investor support fell and insiders are still cashing out. The dividend barely moved. It feels like the pieces are there for a... — read more 

Still trying to make sense of this one

Applied Materials hit a peak in June, then dropped sharply before bouncing back. The CEO sold shares near the top and insiders have been unloading for months. The business itself is doing great - record revenue, strong margins, raised guidance. But... — read more 

Three reasons to worry

Amazon hit a peak in May and has been sliding since, down about 16% from that high. The spending is the big one. Two hundred billion dollars this year on AI stuff, and free cash flow is about to go negative. Then there is the FTC investigation into... — read more 

Lost the CFO and the stock is just drifting

Pfizer's had a weird couple of weeks. The CFO announced he's leaving in August for a job in consumer goods, and the stock dropped on the news. I get that a change in leadership can make people nervous, but they already named an interim replacement... — read more
