Welcome, Stock Region readers! Here’s your weekly breakdown of key stocks to watch. We’ve analyzed recent performance, growth drivers, challenges, and short-term technical levels for four notable companies. Let’s dive in.
Domino's Pizza ($DPZ)
Recent Performance: Domino's fell short of analyst expectations for U.S. same-store sales in Q4 2024, posting a modest 0.4% growth versus the anticipated 1.63%.
Positive Momentum: Despite the dip, $DPZ is up 10.2% year-to-date, far surpassing the S&P 500’s 2.2% gain. This rally was bolstered by Berkshire Hathaway increasing its stake in the company.
International Growth: On the bright side, international same-store sales grew 2.7%, beating expectations and offering a solid growth narrative.
Challenges: Domino's faces intensified competition from fast-food rivals like McDonald’s and Burger King, whose value meal promotions are gaining traction among cost-conscious consumers.
Levels to Watch:
Upside target: $449.00
Downside risk: $441.50
Alibaba ($BABA)
AI Investments: Alibaba has committed $52 billion to AI and cloud computing infrastructure over the next three years, surpassing its total investment in these areas during the past decade.
Earnings and Growth: Q3 results painted a strong picture, with net income climbing to $6.7 billion thanks to robust cloud and e-commerce performance.
Stock Performance: Optimism is sky-high, as $BABA has soared almost 70% this year, driven by its AI strides and rebounding Chinese retail sales.
Analyst Sentiment: Analysts maintain a bullish outlook, with some price targets reaching as high as $156.
Levels to Watch:
Upside target: $141.62
Downside risk: $138.58
Rivian ($RIVN)
Mixed Ratings: While Rivian has faced downgrades, such as Bank of America labeling it "underperform" with a $10 price target, Guggenheim remains optimistic with a “Buy” rating and a $16 target.
Challenges: The company issued disappointing FY25 delivery guidance, hinting at potential slowdowns.
Potential Catalysts: Keep an eye on Rivian’s CEO at Nvidia’s GTC in March. Positive buzz from this event could potentially reverse market sentiment.
Levels to Watch:
Upside target: $12.97
Downside risk: $12.47
Palantir Technologies ($PLTR)
Strong Stock Performance: $PLTR is on fire, up over 50% this year, thanks to impressive Q4 results and increasing demand for its AI-driven analytics tools.
AI Leadership: Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) continues to attract new customers, contributing significantly to revenue growth.
Retail Investors’ Favorite: The stock remains wildly popular, trailing only Nvidia and Tesla among retail investors.
Growth Outlook: Management forecasts a 31% revenue increase in 2025, with Q1 revenue projected at $860 million.
Levels to Watch:
Upside target: $98.82
Downside risk: $97.12
