Hey everyone,
Before we dive in, a quick but important heads-up. This newsletter is for informational and entertainment purposes only. I’m just a guy sharing my thoughts and what I’m watching in the market. I’m not a financial advisor, and this isn’t financial advice. Please do your own research and consult with a professional before making any investment decisions.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. What a week it’s been. The market feels like it’s trying to decide which way to run, and that’s where the opportunities are. Here’s what’s on my radar for today, Friday, October 24, 2025.
Intel ($INTC): The Comeback Kid?
I have to admit, I was skeptical about Intel for a while. It felt like they were constantly playing catch-up. But wow, have they turned things around in 2025. With the stock up nearly 90%, it’s impossible to ignore. Their latest earnings report was impressive, beating estimates and showing that their cost-cutting and big bets on AI are actually paying off.
Seeing it jump over 7% in premarket trading after the announcement gave me a serious case of FOMO. For today, I’m watching to see if it can break and hold above the $41.46 level. If it does, we could see another leg up. On the flip side, if it drops below $40.78, some traders might start taking profits, so I’ll be cautious. This one feels like it still has energy.
Ford ($F): A Bumpy But Interesting Ride
Ford is such an interesting one to watch. They smashed their Q3 profit, which is great news and shows people are still buying their cars. However, they also tweaked their full-year outlook, and that’s the kind of thing that makes Wall Street nervous. This creates a classic push-pull scenario.
I see this as a potential recipe for volatility, which can be a day trader’s playground. If the bulls take charge and push it past $12.94, we might see a nice little rally. But if the revised outlook spooks investors and the price falls below $12.32, it could be a quick ride down. I’m keeping this one on a tight leash.
Deckers ($DECK): The Overlooked Gem
Deckers is one of those stocks that I feel doesn’t get the love it deserves. When you look at its valuation compared to giants like Nike, it just seems cheap. The market got a little jittery over their revenue guidance, causing a dip, but I’m not so worried. Hoka and UGG are powerhouse brands, and I don’t see that changing overnight.
This feels like a value play for those with a bit more patience, but there are short-term moves to watch too. A move above $91.71 could signal that buyers are stepping back in. If it breaks below $89.29, it might be a sign of more weakness to come. I personally think the dip might be a buying opportunity, but we’ll see what the charts say today.
Procter & Gamble ($PG): Old Reliable
In a market this choppy, sometimes you just need something steady. That’s P&G for me. They just keep doing what they do best: selling products everyone needs and delivering solid earnings. They beat estimates again and declared another dividend. It’s the definition of a “sleep well at night” stock. While it may not give you the thrilling highs of a tech stock, it’s a pillar of stability. It’s always on my watchlist as a benchmark for market health.
Comfort Systems ($FIX): The Silent Performer
Here’s one that might not be on everyone’s screen. Comfort Systems ($FIX) isn’t flashy, but it’s a workhorse. This company is in the building services sector, and it has been an incredibly consistent performer. I like to keep stocks like this on my list because they remind me that not all growth has to come from tech or high-flying names. It’s a great one to monitor for long-term portfolio stability.
That’s all for this week! I hope this gives you some ideas for your own research. Stay sharp, trade smart, and have a fantastic weekend.
Best,
The Stock Region Team
