🚀 Key Stocks to Watch This Week
Starbucks ($SBUX): Brewing Up a Turnaround
Starbucks has been busy crafting its own comeback story. CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” strategy, including simplifying menus and investing in stores, is starting to show results—and investors seem to love it. Shares are trending up, and with plans to pour over $500 million into U.S. stores next year, Starbucks is signaling it’s all in on enhancing customer experience.
The mixed story here? Worldwide, same-store sales aren't as strong as they’d like, except in China, where the market’s heating up. It’s clear there’s untapped international potential! Oh, and brokerages? They’re optimistic, too, bumping price targets.
Short-term levels to watch:
👍 Upside above $96.93 | 👎 Downside below $96.98
My two cents? Between a pumpkin spice latte and this turnaround plan, Starbucks has a knack for serving up what people want. Keep an eye on this caffeinated comeback!
Peloton ($PTON): Pedaling Toward a Comeback
Remember Peloton’s wild pandemic-era ride? Well, the brand hasn’t reached peak fitness yet, but there are glimmers of hope. Cost-cutting measures have worked their magic, with Peloton achieving a positive adjusted EBITDA this year. Plus, the shift from selling bikes to focusing on subscription revenue seems to be the right move—subscriptions are pulling more weight than hardware.
But here’s the kicker—Peloton still has a lot to prove, and the upcoming Q4 earnings report will be huge. Will the financial treadmill keep moving forward, or will it lose steam?
Short-term levels to watch:
👍 Upside above $6.67 | 👎 Downside below $6.60
If you ask me, Peloton is like that one marathon runner preparing for a big finish—it’s not about where they are now, but where they could be heading. Definitely worth keeping an eye on their progress.
Novo Nordisk ($NVO): Weathering the Weight-Loss Wars
Novo Nordisk, the champion in innovative weight-loss drugs, is facing a test of its mettle. With generic and compounded versions of its blockbuster drug Wegovy entering the market, things are getting tight. But Novo Nordisk isn’t backing down—it’s pursuing collaborations and litigation to defend its position.
A leadership shake-up might change the game too. Mike Doustdar was recently handed the CEO reins, and it'll be fascinating to see how he charts a course in this competitive landscape. Despite challenges, Novo Nordisk remains a heavyweight in its category, and there’s room for recovery.
Short-term levels to watch:
👍 Upside above $53.94 | 👎 Downside below $51.26
Personally, I see a company with plenty of fight left. Challenges aside, their focus on innovation could make this corner of the healthcare market theirs to dominate.
Mondelez ($MDLZ): A Sweet and Savory Play
Sweet snacks, anyone? Mondelez is doing well in emerging markets like Brazil, India, and Mexico, racking up double-digit growth in these regions. Even Europe’s shaky economic climate hasn’t made much of a dent—share gains remain strong.
Now, here’s the mixed bag. North America isn’t feeling as rosy. Weakness in the biscuits category and consumer anxiety are the main spoilers. Mondelez is trying its best to stack the odds in its favor with higher pricing strategies and stepping up brand support.
There’s a lot to like here. Emerging markets are clearly figuring out how to make Oreos their new best friend, and once North America follows suit, Mondelez could end up serving a full platter of growth.
🛠 What’s Next?
Keep an eye on these tickers this week as they each try to prove their staying power. Whether it’s a latte in hand or your Peloton app open, these companies could define the next profit opportunities in 2025.
