European chipmakers surged today, with #ASML leading gains (+5%) on optimism from strong tech momentum and Foxconn’s record Q4 revenue. Global chip stocks rally as AI demand fuels growth.

Why I am not buying #BRK:
- Missed big 2020/2022 buy chances.
- Traded Costco for weaker picks (Paramount, Ally).
- No major wins from new hires (lieutenants)
- Too reliant on Apple that is overpriced.

Bets in Tech stocks or Tech ETFs such as the #QQQ feels better.

I see more and more posts advocating to buy Occidental Petroleum stock.

#OXY has weak financials (declining revenue/margins), and tough competition from more innovative players. Inflation & high interest rates adds additional pressure, so strong returns seems unlikely.

Definitely not a buy!

Palantir #PLTR soared 378% in 2024, but is it overvalued? Analysts price target for 2025 is 45% below current levels, and at 176x earnings, its valuation dwarfs Nvidia’s. Even bullish targets like $75 signal a dip. AI hype can’t justify everything.

Hold/Sell.

#AMD dipped below $120, catching investors’ attention. With Wall Street targets as high as $200, AMD’s AI product line, led by the MI300X, aims to challenge NVIDIA’s data center dominance. AI adoption could drive major growth by 2025.

Stromg Buy.

The semiconductor industry rebounded in 2024, with sales rising 6.5% to $113B. Growth is set to accelerate to $121B in 2025 and $139B in 2026. #ASML being down 5% in 2024 vs. the sector’s 24% gain, a turnaround is likely.

Buy.

#PEP hits a 52-week low, down 6.7% YoY while peers outperform. Weak consumer demand and trading below 200-day signals bearish sentiment.

EPS growth remains good (2025: +5.8%). At a 15.8% discount to its high, valuation appears tempting but further downside is expected.

Hold.

Meta Platforms #META despite a 5.7% dip, strong fundamentals shine:
- ROE: 34% vs. industry avg. 7.5%
- Net income growth: 14% (5 yrs)
- Low payout ratio: 5%, rising to 8%

With AR, VR & AI investments, Meta’s long-term outlook is solid, but slightly overvalued atm.

Hold.

Lockheed Martin #LMT is down 0.8% at $485.15, with a 17.2% quarterly drop. However, historical trends suggest a potential rebound, with LMT near its 320-day moving average and past signals averaging an 8.2% gain in 21 days and high put/call ratio hints at upside.

Recommendation: Buy.
December 23, 2024 at 8:19 PM
#Uber stock is down 13.2% this month, hit by competition fears e.g. Waymo.

- Now 30.8% below its 52-week high at $60.21.
- Earnings estimates up 117.2% (2024) & 34% (2025).
- 42.5% long-term growth vs. 24.1% industry avg.

Pullback could be a buying opportunity

After a 14% drop post-Q3 earnings, Eli lilly #LLY trades near 6-month lows. Supply issues hit Mounjaro/Zepbound, but Lilly is investing $3B in manufacturing, expanding its pipeline, & adding FDA approvals. A $15B buyback shows confidence. Long-term growth potential looks strong.

Novo Nordisk $NVO shares plunge 20%!

CagriSema phase 3 data showed 20.4% placebo-adjusted weight loss, below the 25% target. Shares now trade near our fair value estimate of $86, implying a forward P/E of 26x.

Rare buying opportunity for a fantastic stock!

#ASML valued at $283.92B, dominates EUV lithography with ~90% market share and a 51.15% gross margin. Analysts project 2025 revenues of €36.7B and EPS of €29.36-€30.82, with a 27% upside potential.

Buy.

NVIDIA shares hit a two-month low, last trading down 2.3%. What’s next for the AI giant? #NVDA

Is Costco #COST stock a buy or sell?

Buy:
- Resilient business model
- Strong revenue growth, same-store sales

Sell:
- High valuation; P/E above average
- Competition from #AMZN & Walmart

Verdict: Long-term investors may buy, but short-term concerns suggest waiting for a dip.

Intel’s tough 2024: shares down ~60%, worst year in decades, dividend cut to zero, CEO ousted. Yet, earnings beat expectations, guidance raised, and the $7.9B CHIPS Act grant offers hope. Turnaround play or value trap? #INTC trading at a decade low. Thoughts?
December 15, 2024 at 4:49 PM
#GOOGL stock continues to shine. In Q3, revenue climbed 15.1% YoY to $88.3B, beating the $86.4B consensus. EPS surged 36.8% to $2.12, topping estimates by $0.28. Strong growth in Google Cloud (+35%) and YouTube Shorts’ expanding viewership are key drivers.

Buy.

AMD dropped 4% after a downgrade to Neutral and a price target cut from $180 to $155. EPS estimates for 2025/2026 were also slashed, citing competition from NVIDIA and limited cloud traction. Despite challenges, AMD’s innovation and strong partnerships support its long-term outlook. #AMD #Stocks

This valuation for #UBER is absurd:
- 19x P/FCF
- 30-40% future FCF growth
- Wide moat from massive network effects, scale, and brand

It’s one of the most obvious large-cap longs in the market. That said, Uber’s management is a disaster keep that in mind. Once robo taxis flop, the upside is massive

#HPE shares jumped over 10% after delivering a standout Q4:
- Record revenue: $8.5B (+15% YoY)
- Net income doubled to $1.34B ($0.99 per share)
- AI server revenue hit $1.5B

Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $28.

Will this news help #INTL to improve its stock price?
