Hey Stock Region Crew,
Welcome back to the watchlist! Before we dive into the action, a quick but important reminder: This newsletter is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not financial advice. The stock market is a wild ride, so always do your own research and consult with a professional before making any investment decisions.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. What a day it’s been! The market is buzzing, and a few names are really catching my eye. Here’s what I’m watching for Wednesday, October 1st.
Lithium Americas ($LAC)
Wow. Just wow. The U.S. government taking a 5% equity stake in Lithium Americas is massive news. This isn’t just a vote of confidence; it’s a strategic move that basically screams, “We need this lithium, and we need it now.” The Thacker Pass mine is set to be a cornerstone for North American EV production, and this government backing all but de-risks the project in a huge way. The stock obviously loved the news, and frankly, I’m not surprised. This feels like the start of something big for LAC.
Upside Level: Keep an eye on a break above $7.84.
Downside Level: A drop below $7.49 could signal a pullback.
AES Corporation ($AES)
The rumor mill is churning, and AES is right in the middle of it. Whispers of a potential takeover are sending this stock higher. AES is a major player in the renewable energy space, and it makes perfect sense that a big investment firm would want to snap them up. In a world hungry for clean energy, a company like AES looks like a prime cut. I’m watching this one very closely because where there’s smoke, there’s often fire.
Upside Level: A move past $15.88 could get interesting.
Downside Level: Watch for support around $14.41.
Sunrun ($RUN)
Solar stocks can be a rollercoaster, but Sunrun seems to be catching some serious tailwinds. Between rising electricity costs and new policy incentives, homeowners are looking for ways to save money, and solar is an obvious answer. Sunrun is a leader in the residential space, which puts it in a fantastic position to capture this growing demand. I feel like this is a classic “right place, right time” setup.
Upside Level: I’m watching for a push above $18.23.
Downside Level: The line in the sand for me is $18.07.
Peloton ($PTON)
Ah, Peloton. This stock has been a heartbreaker for many, but could a comeback be brewing? The company is rolling out new products and really pushing its subscription model. This pivot away from just selling expensive bikes to building a recurring revenue stream is the right move, in my opinion. It’s still a “show me” story, but PTON is starting to make some noise again, and it’s worth keeping on the radar to see if this turnaround has legs.
Nike ($NKE)
Just do it. And they did. Nike’s recent earnings report was a slam dunk, blowing past expectations. The power of their brand is undeniable, and their shift to a direct-to-consumer model is clearly paying off. They are connecting directly with their customers and controlling their own destiny, which is a powerful combination. In a shaky market, seeing a giant like Nike execute so flawlessly is a reassuring sight.
Upside Level: A breakout above $73.18 would be bullish.
Downside Level: Support needs to hold at $71.96.
That’s all for today! It’s a dynamic market, and these are just a few of the stories moving the needle. Keep your head on a swivel and be ready for anything.
Stay sharp,
