I'll be the contrarian. Spirit Airlines NYSE:SAVE has been beat to a pulp, but the company is still actively flying the high skies. While low-budget airlines have hit a rough patch as low-income consumers tighten their spending, the CFO recently was awarded almost $250k in options (a bullish sign). Plus, the next few years could be great for airlines as interest...
Baxter International NYSE:BAX , a company that primarily focuses on products to treat kidney disease and other chronic and acute medical conditions, is another name that had a very rough time through 2022 and into 2024. However, the company's projected earnings and cash flow are expected to grow from 2024 through 2027 and it currently has a 3.35% dividend....
HighPeak Energy NASDAQ:HPK currently has a 19.5million float, 24%+ short interest, 12x P/E, and debt/equity ratio of 0.7x... all while insiders are loading up on shares (CEO grabbed $5+ million in August 2024). Something may be brewing. The oil and natural gas company's earnings are expected to rise into 2025 after taking a hit in 2024. From a technical...
Historically, September is one of the worst performing months in the stock market. A hedge against my bets for this month is to buy shares of Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X AMEX:HIBS as a volatility play. The index provider selects 100 securities from the S&P 500 Index that have exhibited the highest sensitivity to market movements, or “beta,” over the...
Dollar Tree NASDAQ:DLTR has taken a massive hit to its stock price as low-income spenders are cutting back (recession red flag, anyone?). It recently touched my selected "crash" simple moving average area (white lines on the chart) and may take many years before true recovery occurs. However, the Director recently bought $150k+ in shares after this recent drop,...
Liberty Media Corp NASDAQ:LSXMA may have just double bottomed near $20. If so, it could mark the beginnings of a turnaround in price (especially during this political season). However, I am staying cautious. Warren Buffet was diving into this name a little too early for my taste, but now it is in a personal buy zone if it can stay above the $20 mark in the...
GrowGeneration NASDAQ:GRWG is approaching one of my favorite technical analysis setups as it gets closer to my selected historical simple moving average (SMA: the white and teal lines). Often, but not always (i.e. public offering news...), the price will jump to the selected historical SMA after a long period of consolidation - which has been occurring for some...
BlackSky Technology NYSE:BKSY is a small company focused on satellite imagery tech. It's another name from the SPAC-boom era that suffered a massive price drop - reaching a high of $17.41 in 2021 and a low of $0.86 in 2024. However, based on my selected simple moving averages (SMAs), there may be a price "influx" soon as it merges with its primary SMA (white...
Dollar General NYSE:DG took a massive hit this morning after revising their future earnings guidance. The economy is showing many signs of a recession, and this is a clear warning. From a technical analysis perspective, it has retouched my "crash" simple moving average and may dip further into the $80's in the near-term. But, like many overall strong companies...
Abbott Laboratories NYSE:ABT has been making higher highs and lower lows over the last year, potentially signaling a reversal in its downward trend. Monkeypox and the return of cold/flu/COVID season may spark another run to close the price gap on the daily chart around $140. It is currently in a personal buy zone at $110.00. Target #1 = $118.00 Target #2 = $140.00
NYSE:WEX Inc has a 40.8M float and recently initiated a $300 million share buyback. The stock has been in consolidation mode for some time and is playing "nicely" along my selected historical simple moving average (SMA). Recently, it may have double-bottomed off this SMA and, given the buyback, may move progressively up toward the $230's where there is a large...
The "beginnings" of a change in the downward trend of China's tech stock market may be starting to unfold. The price of Kraneshares China Internet ETF AMEX:KWEB has finally reconnected with my selected simple moving average (SMA) which often means further price consolidation or future price breakout from the overall mean. I'm not saying this will happen...
This is going to be purely about technical analysis since Intel NASDAQ:INTC has a 90x P/E and has not proven themselves to be a viable challenger in the semiconductor market (yet...). Bad news could continue to destroy this ticker, but without that news, there could be some recovery in the near term. The NASDAQ:INTC chart is in an overall downward trend....
While gold prices have soared recently, gold mining stocks have lagged. Newmont Corp NYSE:NEM , the world's largest gold mining corporation, may be undervalued if the miners take off to catch up to the gold demand/price. Currently sitting near $48.00 and at a historical moving average that it will need to break to show a true trend reversal, NYSE:NEM is in a...
As a managed health care company, Centene Corp NYSE:CNC doesn't get much attention. However, it is an undervalued growth stock. It's been a workhorse historically for slow and steady financial returns with a 3%+ dividend. The biggest dips along my selected moving average have been into the blue lines - which it recently tested. While the stock may close the gap...
Kraft Heinz NASDAQ:KHC currently has a 4.88% dividend and anticipated earnings growth (though modest) through 2027. Inflation benefits the food industry and Kraft Heinz may do well moving forward. From a technical analysis standpoint, the chart is in the accumulation zone around my selected simple moving average and may be preparing for a larger move up....
Boeing NYSE:BA is getting bad press (and rightfully so) due to quality/safety assurance issues, but I view this dip as a buying opportunity for future returns. The company expects profitability beyond 2024 and once that happens, I expect this ticker to soar. There may be some pains in the near-term, but long-term, it is in my buy zone at $180.00. Target #1 =...
The war machine keeps turning. Profits will reign. Direxion Aerospace and Defense 3x AMEX:DFEN never fully recovered from pandemic lows, but world peace is (unfortunately) far from reach. The uptrend in the chart has commenced. Personal entry point at $28.00. Target #1 = $37.00 Target #2 = $50.00 Target #3 = $64.00
