Happy Friday! Hope the week brought plenty of wins. Before heading into the weekend, here’s a lineup of stocks with interesting moves—from a potential tech rebound to a financial sleeper delivering impressive results.
Let’s dive into the tickers in focus.
Intel (INTC): The Comeback Kid?
Intel has been on an absolute tear. After an incredible 84% run-up last year, the stock surged another 47% in January alone. More recently, it pulled back about 13% after some news about manufacturing hiccups and a forecast that didn’t exactly wow Wall Street.
This sets up what looks like a classic “buy the dip” scenario. Setbacks are part of the game, and Intel remains a giant, actively working to resolve supply chain issues and advance its new products. This stock deserves close monitoring for a potential move.
Upside Target: Watch for a break above $48.16.
Downside Risk: Should shares drop below $46.56, it may be wise to look for a better entry point.
Nvidia (NVDA): The AI King Continues Its Reign
No surprise here—Nvidia remains a powerhouse. The stock is already up 12% this month, and the AI momentum feels unstoppable. Nvidia leads both AI and data center markets, and the roadmap only gets more exciting. The upcoming 2027 platform, “Vera Rubin,” promises next-gen GPUs and cutting-edge liquid cooling—straight out of a sci-fi vision.
NVDA stands out as a top growth candidate. With such a central role in this technological wave, it’s hard to bet against this innovator.
Upside Target: A move past $187.30 is worth watching.
Downside Risk: Support around $183.50 will be closely observed.
SLM Corp (SLM): The Earnings Superstar
SLM Corp (better known as Sallie Mae) just reported fantastic Q4 earnings, posting $1.12 per share and easily crushing expectations of $0.94. The numbers impress, including a 31% return on equity. Outlook for continued EPS growth through 2027 is strong, with price targets on the rise.
Strong performers like this in the financial sector deserve attention. When a company is consistently delivering, there’s reason to take note.
Upside Target: A move above $29.23 could indicate continued strength.
Downside Risk: Caution warranted if shares fall below $28.45.
Capital One (COF): Riding The Consumer Wave
With the economy showing signs of life and interest rates beginning to stabilize, Capital One is well positioned. A massive footprint in credit cards and banking strengthens its outlook to benefit as consumer spending rebounds and loan demand accelerates.
COF may not be the flashiest stock on this list, but it stands out as a solid pick for steady growth. This is a play on the health of the consumer—always worth consideration in times like these.
That wraps up this week’s highlights! Keep these names on your watchlist as they develop. Have a fantastic weekend, and get ready to tackle the market again come Monday.
Best,
