Welcome back to another edition of our weekly watchlist! I've got to be honest – this week had me glued to my screens more than usual. The market's been serving up some serious moves, and I couldn't help but get a little excited about what I'm seeing.
Let me walk you through the four stocks that really caught my attention this week, and trust me, there's some juicy stuff here.
🚀 NVIDIA ($NVDA) - The AI Rocket That Won't Stop
Okay, can we talk about NVIDIA for a second? This stock is absolutely on fire, and I mean that in the best way possible. Up 30% in 2025 alone – are you kidding me?
I remember when people thought the AI hype would cool down. Well, guess what? NVIDIA is still the undisputed king of the AI playground. Whether it's powering the latest ChatGPT models or helping autonomous cars see the road ahead, their GPUs are everywhere.
What really gets me excited is that we're probably still in the early innings of the AI revolution. Gaming? Check. Data centers? Double check. Self-driving cars? We're just getting started. If you're not watching NVIDIA, you're missing one of the most compelling growth stories of our time.
💰 INTUIT ($INTU) - The Boring Stock That's Anything But Boring
Now here's a company that makes my accountant heart happy. Intuit just dropped some seriously impressive numbers – 20% growth in Q4 and 16% for the full year. At $697.76, this stock is sitting pretty, and honestly, it deserves to be.
Think about it: TurboTax basically owns tax season, and QuickBooks is the go-to for small businesses everywhere. These aren't flashy products, but they're absolutely essential. And in a world where everyone's trying to figure out their finances, Intuit is the steady hand guiding them through.
Keep your eyes on those key levels: above $659.59 and we might see some real momentum, but if we slip below $652.41, things could get interesting on the downside.
☁️ WORKDAY ($WDAY) - The Cloud Play I'm Watching
Workday just raised their guidance to $84.5-85.5 billion – and that's the kind of confidence I love to see from management. This isn't some pie-in-the-sky projection; these folks know their business.
HR and finance software might not sound sexy, but trust me, it's where the money is. Every company needs these tools, and Workday's cloud-based approach is exactly what modern businesses are looking for. No more clunky on-premise software – everything's moving to the cloud, and Workday is riding that wave beautifully.
Short-term, I'm watching for a break above $219.00 for upside momentum, or a dip below $216.00 that might present a buying opportunity.
🛍️ ROSS STORES ($ROST) - The Bargain Hunter's Dream
Last but definitely not least, let's talk about Ross Stores. Now, this one's close to my heart because I absolutely love their business model. Off-price retail is genius – they buy excess inventory from major brands and sell it at steep discounts.
In an economy where everyone's watching their wallet, Ross is exactly where smart shoppers are heading. While other retailers are struggling with high prices and changing consumer habits, Ross is thriving by giving people exactly what they want: quality brands at prices that don't break the bank.
This stock might not have the flashy growth numbers of a tech darling, but sometimes the best investments are hiding in plain sight.
My Take This Week
Looking at these four stocks, I see a beautiful mix of growth, stability, and opportunity. NVIDIA is the rocket ship for the brave, Intuit is the steady performer, Workday is riding the perfect trend, and Ross is the smart defensive play.
The market's been a wild ride lately, but companies with strong fundamentals and clear competitive advantages – like these four – tend to weather the storms pretty well.
What do you think? Any of these catching your eye, or am I completely off base? Hit reply and let me know your thoughts!
