Good morning, Stock Region family!
Can you believe weâre already deep into December? The markets are buzzing, the holiday lights are up, and honestly, the energy out there feels electric. Itâs been a wild year for tech, hasnât it? But looking at this weekâs lineup, weâre getting the sense that the year isnât quite done surprising us yet.
Weâve been poring over the charts and earnings reports, and a few names really jumped out at me. Weâve got cloud juggernauts flexing their muscles, retail brands hoping for a Santa Claus rally, and even a peek into the future of space travel.
Grab your coffee (or eggnog, I wonât judge). Letâs break down whatâs happening.
1. Oracle ($ORCL) - The Cloud Beast Wakes Up
I have to admit, for a long time, I looked at Oracle as âlegacy tech.â You know, the boring database company. But boy, have they proven me wrong lately.
Their latest earnings report was nothing short of impressive. We are talking about a 30% year-over-year increase in cloud infrastructure revenue. That is massive growth for a company of this size. Itâs clear that enterprises are hungry for their cloud services, and Oracle is feeding them.
The secret sauce here is their AI integration. Everyone is doing AI, but Oracle seems to be doing it in a way that actually gets businesses to open their wallets. Analysts are throwing around a price target of $300, which is a huge leap from the current $223.27. Thatâs a potential 34.4% upside!
Levels to watch:
Short-term, keeping our eyes peeled for a breakout above $199.07. If it slips below $194.23, I might tap the brakes.
2. Oxford Industries ($OXM) - A Holiday Comeback?
Retail is always a tricky beast in Q4, but Oxford Industries caught the eye this week. They own brands like Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzerâstuff that people love to gift or wear on those winter getaways.
They reported earnings recently and managed a âless badâ result than expected. They posted a loss of $0.92 per share, which sounds rough, but it beat the consensus of $0.95. Revenue actually came in higher than expected at $307.34 million.
Sometimes, âbetter than fearedâ is all a stock needs to rally. Trading around $40, it feels like itâs been beaten down enough. With the holiday shopping season in full swing, I think thereâs a decent chance for a seasonal boost here. It feels like a recovery play.
Levels to watch:
Iâd like to see it hold above $31.59. If it drops below $30.43, the holiday cheer might be over early.
3. Adobe ($ADBE) - Creativity Meets Cash Flow
Adobe is one of those companies that just seems to execute, quarter after quarter. They crushed it again with earnings of $5.50 per share (beating the $5.40 estimate) and revenue growth of 10.5%.
But the real story? Firefly. Their AI tools are everywhere now. Iâve played around with some of their generative AI features, and they are genuinely game-changing for creatives. Itâs no wonder adoption is skyrocketing.
Adobe is a solid, reliable tech play. Itâs currently trading at $343.13. Itâs not the cheapest stock on the block, but youâre paying for quality and innovation. If you want exposure to tech without gambling on unproven startups, this feels like a safe harbor that still has growth left in the tank.
Levels to watch:
Momentum looks good if it pushes past $347.82. Watch out for downside risk below $339.12.
4. Gemini Space Station ($GEMI) - To Infinity?
Okay, letâs get a little futuristic. The space industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% through 2030, and Gemini Space Station is right in the thick of it.
Theyâve been making serious moves in satellite tech and infrastructure.
This is the wildcard of the week. Itâs speculative, sure, but exciting. If you believe in the space economyâand with all the private launches happening, itâs hard not toâGEMI is positioning itself as a leader. Itâs for the dreamers in the portfolio.
Oracleâs cloud or the stars with Gemini, thereâs opportunity out there this week. Remember to stick to your trading plan and donât let emotions dictate your buy button (easier said than done, I know!).
Stay safe out there, traders!
