Hope the coffee is ready because the market is already buzzing this Tuesday.
Honestly, looking at the charts this morning is giving off a bit of a rush. You know that feeling when a pattern starts to form just right? That’s the vibe today. There are some fascinating moves from giants that have been sleeping and underdogs that are suddenly sprinting.
Numbers for the watchlist today reveal some genuine surprises. There is finally some clarity after months of mixed signals.
Here is what’s on the radar for
Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
Pfizer ($PFE): The Sleeping Giant Wakes Up?
Let’s talk about Pfizer. It’s understandable—everyone has been exhausted hearing about COVID revenues drying up. It’s been the elephant in the room for two years. But here is why excitement is building again around $PFE.
They just reaffirmed their 2025 revenue guidance at $62 billion
. That is a massive number, folks. The core business is strong enough to stand on its own two feet without the pandemic boost.
A standout feature is their aggressive approach to the future. They are dumping
$11.5 billion into R&D for 2026. They aren’t hoarding cash; they are betting on innovation, specifically that new PD-1 x VEGF antibody. It sounds like science fiction, but if it works, it’s a game-changer.
Despite losing $1.5 billion in COVID revenue, they are projecting 4% operational growth
in everything else. That signals a turnaround story. With an adjusted EPS target of $2.80 - $3.00 for 2026 and a billion dollars in cost savings on the horizon, this looks like a safe, calculated play for sustainable growth. This one deserves close attention.
Roku ($ROKU): Is This The Breakout We’ve Waited For?
Bullish momentum is strong for Roku right now and the excitement is palpable.
Q3 platform revenues jumped 17%
, and margins are looking healthier at 51.5%. But the real kicker is the Morgan Stanley upgrade. The firm placed a
$135 price target on this bad boy, seeing a 24% upside. When the big banks start singing praises like that, you pay attention.
What strikes me most is the advertising data. 90% of their Q3 advertisers were new.
That’s remarkable. Brands are flocking to Roku’s ecosystem because it works. Plus, innovation continues with subscription bundles like the new “Howdy” service (at $2.99/mo, it’s a steal).
With Roku controlling the operating system in 50% of U.S. broadband households
, they have built a moat that is getting harder to cross. For those who enjoy growth stories with tangible momentum, Roku stands out as one to watch today.
Kraft Heinz ($KHC): The Defensive Play
Sometimes stability takes center stage, and that’s where Kraft Heinz shines. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable—and in a volatile market, reliable is hard to beat.
They are leaning hard into health-conscious and plant-based foods, which is smart because that is exactly where consumer wallets are opening up. Their operational efficiency is boosting margins, and that 4% dividend yield
is looking very tasty right now.
A personal take: If the market gets choppy, $KHC is a great place to park some cash. It’s defensive but still has growth potential.
Levels to watch:
Upside: Break above $25.51 could trigger a run.
Downside: Watch out if it slips below $24.73.
That’s it for today! Optimism is in the air for the week ahead. Remember, the market rewards patience and preparation. Keep your head on a swivel and stick to your plan.
Let’s crush it today!
