Hey everyone,
Before we dive in, a quick but important note: The information in this newsletter is for educational and entertainment purposes only. We are not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions.
Let’s get into what’s catching the eye this week. The market is always moving, and there are a few stories and sectors that we think are worth paying close attention to right now.
This Week’s Watchlist
Alphabet ($GOOGL)
Okay, let’s start with the giant in the room. When a firm like Berkshire Hathaway makes a move, people listen. Their new stake in Alphabet is a huge vote of confidence. Honestly, it’s not a shocker to see them jump in, even with their usual caution around tech. GOOGL has been a beast this year, largely thanks to its AI developments and the impressive growth of its Cloud division. What really stands out to me is its valuation. Compared to some of its mega-cap peers, it still looks relatively cheap. I’m watching to see if it can break and hold above the $291.31 level for a potential leg up. On the flip side, a drop below $276.41 might signal some short-term weakness.
Zymeworks ($ZYME)
Biotech can be a wild ride, but positive trial results are what investors live for. Zymeworks just delivered big time. Their Phase 3 results for Ziihera® are incredibly promising and could change the game for treating a specific type of cancer. The market’s reaction was immediate and powerful, sending the stock soaring. This isn’t just a one-trick pony, either. The company has a solid pipeline, which suggests potential for long-term growth. It’s moments like these that remind me why I keep an eye on the biotech space, despite the volatility.
Lithium Producers
This isn’t about one specific company, but an entire sector that I believe has a long runway. The shift to electric vehicles is undeniable, and you can’t build an EV without a lithium-ion battery. Every new EV model announced and every government incentive for clean energy just adds more fuel to this fire. We’re seeing this as a long-term trend, and keeping tabs on the major lithium producers feels like a smart move. The demand is built-in and growing.
Quantum Computing ($QUBT)
This one feels like we’re looking into the future. Quantum computing has been a “what if” for a long time, but it’s starting to feel more like a “when.” The potential to disrupt everything from finance to medicine is mind-boggling. QUBT is one of the names in this exciting, and admittedly speculative, space. It’s gaining traction as more partnerships form to bring this technology to the mainstream. This is a high-risk, high-reward area for me. The key levels we have on the chart are $12.36 on the upside and $11.95 on the downside for any potential short-term plays.
Clearwater Analytics ($CWAN)
Buyout rumors are always a catalyst for big moves, and Clearwater Analytics is right in the middle of them. The whispers of acquisition talks have put this stock on our radar. CWAN provides mission-critical software for the financial industry, which makes it a very attractive target for a larger company looking to expand its fintech footprint. This is a situation where news can break at any moment, so we’ll be watching the price action and news feeds closely.
That’s it for this week’s rundown. Hope you found some interesting ideas to kickstart your own research.
Happy trading,
