NVIDIA's 14.5% Pullback: Is the Stock Realigning with Its True Value?

November 28, 2025, 11:56 PM EST. Amid a 14.5% pullback this month, NVIDIA still commands attention as investors weigh whether the rally in AI and new partnerships justifies its premium. The stock has surged ~28% YTD, but its latest slide has traders asking if the price realigns with fundamentals. In our analysis, NVIDIA scores 2/6 on valuation checks, signaling mixed signals. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, using a 2-Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, pegs the current Free Cash Flow at $77.96B and projects it to $287.49B by 2030. The resulting intrinsic value is $165.42 per share, implying the shares are about 7% overvalued versus today's price. The takeaway: the fair value looks "about right" based on DCF, but investors should watch for shifts in AI demand and regulation.

CrowdStrike's AI Momentum vs. Valuation: Does the 47% Surge Hold Up?

November 28, 2025, 11:42 PM EST. CrowdStrike has powered a 47.2% gain over the past year as investors bet on AI-powered security and strategic partnerships, even as the stock shows volatility. Over the last week it rose 3.8% but fell 6.7% in the past month. Despite momentum, the company's valuation signals raise red flags: the segment's overall score sits 0/6 on our checks, and a DCF-based intrinsic value of $452.17 implies the shares are trading about 12.6% above fair value. The P/S approach remains a relevant lens for fast-growing software firms, but the current figures suggest overvaluation relative to earnings potential. Investors should weigh growth catalysts against valuation headwinds and the risk that momentum from AI partnerships may not fully justify the premium.

SMX Nasdaq Surge: SMX Stock Doubles on Unusual Volume – Nov 29 Update

November 28, 2025, 11:10 PM EST. On November 29, SMX surged on the Nasdaq, with the stock doubling from open to high as speculative interest spiked. The intraday move saw the price rise from about $5.94 to a high of $17.40, supported by a trading volume of 22,826,700-far above the 2,542,292 average-indicating heightened investor sentiment in this small-cap name. While such spikes offer quick gains, they bring volatility and risk, especially given SMX's fundamentals: a market cap around $76.4 million and negative EPS and P/E. The episode highlights how rumors and social chatter can drive abrupt price swings in niche tech plays on the Nasdaq, underscoring the need for cautious, disciplined analysis.

Blue Owl Capital (OWL) Valuation: Is the Rebound Signaling an Undervalued Opportunity?

November 28, 2025, 10:58 PM EST. Blue Owl Capital has rebounded recently, with a 1-day return of 1.69% and a 7-day gain of 6.91, but the year-to-date is -36.41% and a 1-year total return of -33.89%. A longer horizon shows resilience with a 3-year total shareholder return of 54.96%, suggesting growth potential beyond the short term. Analysts set a fair value of $21.40 per share, well above the last close of $15.00, hinting at undervalued status if growth in digital infrastructure, data centers, and AI-related assets materializes. The narrative hinges on stronger earnings growth, higher margins, and a favorable profit multiple, though risks include slower capital inflows and integration challenges. The price-to-sales ratio sits near peers at 3.6x, slightly below fair 3.9x.

Ardent Health: Is the 41.5% Price Drop a Bargain or a Value Trap?

November 28, 2025, 10:56 PM EST. Ardent Health shares have tumbled, down 41.5% in the last month and 1.8% last week, triggering debates on whether the pullback creates a bargain or a trap. The stock carries a middling valuation score of 3/6 as investors weigh rough regulatory and cost pressures facing hospital operators. The company posted a -45.1% return over the last year, underscoring growth and execution concerns. A two-stage DCF using last twelve months' FCF of $179.6 million projects roughly $88 million of FCF in 2027, yielding an intrinsic value of about $7.19 per share. That implies the current price trades at a 22.1% premium to fair value, suggesting the market may be overvaluing Ardent Health based on fundamentals. Investors should decide whether the risk/reward warrants a new look.

Maase (MAAS) Valuation in Focus After Momentum Rally

November 28, 2025, 10:54 PM EST. Maase (MAAS) has climbed 6% in the last month, with a 13.8% gain over 90 days and a year-to-date return near 2%. At a current price of $3.95, investors question whether the rally signals a broader turnaround or short-term momentum. The stock's price-to-book data is insufficient due to missing figures for Maase and its industry, limiting valuation comparisons. With regulatory risks in China and limited public data, the fair value remains unclear. The piece suggests weighing alternative metrics and disclosures to assess whether Maase is undervalued or overvalued, and to consider potential risks against upside. Readers can explore the numbers to form their own view.

Buffett: Temperament Beats IQ in Investing – Timeless Value Lessons from a 1985 Interview

November 28, 2025, 9:34 PM EST. In a resurfaced 1985 TV interview, Warren Buffett reinforces timeless value-investing tenets: don't lose money, buy far below intrinsic value, and demand a wide margin of safety. He argues the true edge is temperament, not IQ-avoiding crowd-driven bets and relying on careful thinking. Buffett contrasts owning businesses with chasing tickers, noting prices don't capture a company's fundamentals. The test is simple: if you own a good business, it shouldn't matter if the market closes for years. His Omaha base and long-horizon focus shield against hype and noise. The takeaway: think independently, value the business first, and keep a disciplined valuation framework amid today's algorithmic climate.

A Look at ATRenew (NYSE:RERE) Valuation After Profit Turnaround and 2025 Revenue Guidance

November 28, 2025, 9:18 PM EST. ATRenew's profit turnaround and upbeat 2025 revenue guidance are reshaping the valuation narrative for NYSE:RERE.

The market presently prices fair value around $6.61 per share, versus the latest close near $4.54, signaling undervalued upside if the growth trajectory holds. Still, risks such as government subsidies dependence and fierce competition warrant caution. A completed buyback and a growing nationwide store network underscore a longer-term margin expansion thesis, but investors should scrutinize analyst assumptions and potential execution costs. Overall, ATRenew appears to offer a compelling risk/reward as guidance solidifies.

The key catalyst is the rollout of a digital trade finance platform that could lift transaction volumes, broaden service offerings to underbanked SMEs, and boost fee income and margins over the next 18 months. Risks include the possibility that recent one-off deals don't repeat and macro volatility in Latin America could dampen demand.

The narrative cites an undervalued case driven by a fair value of $6.61 versus a last close of $4.54, supported by refurbishment capacity expansion, multi-category recycling, and AI-enabled efficiency that could lift margins. A P/E multiple around 25.3x remains well above the industry average ~18x and peers at 16.8x, suggesting ATRenew trades at a premium. Risks include government subsidy changes and rising store-expansion costs. The analysis hints at upside from margin expansion and faster growth, but a higher multiple also leaves less room for disappointment.

November 28, 2025, 8:22 PM EST.

Relative value remains stretched: the stock trades at a P/E of 24.7x versus the luxury group average of 20.2x and a market fair ratio near 15.9x.

Home Depot Stock Today (HD): Mixed Q3 Results and Cautious Outlook After Thanksgiving Session

November 28, 2025, 7:56 PM EST. Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE: HD) closed Friday around $356.92, up about 0.4% on light holiday volume after a turbulent earnings month. The stock remains a clear laggard in 2025, down ~8% year-to-date and ~16% over the last 12 months, well behind the S&P 500's ~+16% gain. In a short Thanksgiving week, HD traded in a narrow range of roughly $353-$358 with market cap near $354B. The catalyst remains November 18's Q3 fiscal 2025 report that cut full-year guidance, a classic mixed bag: top line rose, but earnings and margins softened.

Since the slide, bargain hunting and dividend appeal have helped a modest rebound, but the outlook remains cautious.

Crude Prices Erase Early Gains as Ukraine Peace Hopes Remain in Focus

November 28, 2025, 7:38 PM EST. Crude prices closed lower Friday as optimism over a Ukrainian peace deal trimmed gains in oil markets. January WTI (CLF26) fell 0.17% and January RBOB (RBF26) slipped 0.32% from one-week highs. The retreat followed a weaker dollar index and ongoing headlines about Russia's export reductions and sanctions, with traders weighing the potential end of sanctions against near-term supply dynamics. Baker Hughes data showing US oil rigs at a four-year low suggested softer domestic production ahead. Putin signaled openness to talks framed by Trump-proposed terms, while OPEC+ is expected to pause output hikes in early 2026 amid a global surplus. Markets also monitor refining losses in Russia and fresh sanctions affecting shipments.

Crude Prices Erase Early Gains as Ukraine Peace Hopes Meet Surplus Signals

January WTI (CLF26) slid 0.17%, and January RBF26 fell 0.32%. A weaker DXY helped briefly, but sentiment remained tethered to sanctions on Russian energy and the prospect of higher global oil supply. Baker Hughes showed a drop in U.S. oil rigs to a four-year low, underscoring near-term production limits. OPEC+ is expected to keep the plan to pause output hikes into 2026 amid a potential global oil surplus, even as Russian shipments and refiners face headwinds. Traders also watched Vortexa stockpiles and geopolitical risk around Venezuela.

Nat-Gas Prices Jump on Colder US Forecasts, Hit 8.5-Month High

November 28, 2025, 7:34 PM EST. January Nymex natural gas (NGF26) surged to an 8.5-month high on bets that colder US weather will lift heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group flagged cooler models for Dec 3-7, with cold in the Northeast and Great Lakes, and below-normal temperatures in the coming weeks. Despite the rally, US production remains near a record, with lower-48 dry gas at a Friday record 113.4 bcf/d and demand at 98.6 bcf/d, per BNEF. LNG net flows to US terminals were about 18.5 bcf/d. The week also showed a 11 bcf weekly draw per EIA, though inventories were +4.2% above the 5-year average. Rig counts rose to 130, a 2.25-year high.

Nat-Gas Prices Jump as Forecasts for Below-Normal US Temperatures Boost Heating Demand

November 28, 2025, 7:32 PM EST. Nat-Gas futures (NG) jumped 6.41% to an 8.5-month high as forecasts for below-normal US temperatures boost heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group flagged cooler US models, with the Northeast and Great Lakes likely to see intense cold in early December. On balance, supply remains ample: US dry gas production near a record (~113.4 bcf/d), LNG net flows around 18.5 bcf/d, and drilling rigs up to 130. The latest EIA data show a weekly draw of 11 bcf, less than the 5-year average, leaving inventories modestly pressured.

Bank of America BAC.PRM Yields Above 6%: Non-Cumulative Series KK Hits Yield Threshold

November 28, 2025, 7:29 PM EST.

Intraday, BAC.PRM was down about 0.8% while Bank of America's common stock (BAC) slipped about 8.9%. The setup underscores how a high yield can come with price and feature risk in non-cumulative preferreds.

1 No-Brainer S&P 500 Index Fund to Buy Right Now for Under $1,000

November 28, 2025, 7:22 PM EST. Investing in the S&P 500 can be simple with an index fund like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). A single share can be bought for under $1,000, making broad exposure accessible even when stocks sit near all-time highs. The piece notes that, historically, bull markets last longer than bear markets and the market tends to move higher over time, even after pullbacks. It also cautions that recent gains have been led by AI-driven giants, making valuation risk a factor if that trend wanes. While future declines are possible, the U.S. market has repeatedly recovered to new highs. The takeaway: patience and broad exposure through a low-cost index fund can still fit many investors' plans.

Dollar Dips as Fed Cut Bets Lift Gold; Euro Rises on ECB Signals

In FX, EUR/USD edges higher as eurozone inflation expectations firm and German CPI surprises, though weak German retail sales temper gains. USD/JPY slips as Japan's data supports the yen, despite higher U.S. yields. Gold rallies on the rate-cut expectations and traders eye the ECB's policy path.

Cocoa Prices Jump as ICCO Cuts Global Surplus and Production Outlook

November 28, 2025, 7:18 PM EST. Cocoa prices surged as the ICCO trimmed its 2024/25 global surplus to 49,000 MT and lowered production to 4.69 MMT. March ICE NY cocoa rose 8.07% and December ICE London gained 4.34%, with the rally aided by a weaker dollar index and shallow inventories at 8.5-month lows in US ports. Funds shifted toward a larger net-short stance in London, potentially amplifying any short-covering rally. Ivory Coast harvests and West Africa pod counts point to improving crop conditions, while the EU's deforestation law delay keeps supply ample. Cocoa cargo data show Ivory Coast exports down 3.7% year-over-year, underscoring mixed near-term fundamentals despite the price move. Cocoa fundamentals remain sensitive to policy and weather in West Africa.

USA Rare Earth Stock Analysis: Near-Term Catalysts and Valuation

November 28, 2025, 7:16 PM EST. USA Rare Earth Inc. stock (NASDAQ: USAR) rose about 8.29% as investors await implications of U.S.-China tensions over rare-earth exports and supply security. The latest chatter could weigh on industries reliant on these materials and shape the stock's trajectory. Over the past two weeks, USAR traded in a narrow band, closing from $12.75 to $13.45, signaling resilience amid volatility. On the earnings front, the company posted negative cash flow from continuing operations with uncertain revenue, but its capital investment hints at growth ambitions. Balance sheet signals mixed risk: strong liquidity with current/quick ratios above 16, a lofty P/B of 14.06, and negligible debt. The evolving rare-earth narrative remains the key driver for USAR's upside potential and risks.

3 No-Brainer AI Stocks to Buy Right Now (Meta Leads the Pack)

November 28, 2025, 7:14 PM EST. AI's surge has pulled the market higher while triggering pullbacks in a few leaders. This piece spotlights three AI-linked names trading at attractive valuations after recent dips. At the forefront is Meta Platforms (META), where AI-enhanced ad targeting and new AI tools are lifting revenue per impression and expanding the addressable market via Threads, WhatsApp, and an upcoming AI ad agent. Meta's heavy capital spending on data centers remains debated but could power longer-term growth as advertisers pay more for targeted results. The note also highlights upside in other AI beneficiaries and the potential risk that lofty valuations could unwind if AI enthusiasm cools.

Barcelona Under Scrutiny Over $22M ZKP Sponsorship Deal

November 28, 2025, 7:12 PM EST. FC Barcelona faces criticism for a $22 million, three-year sponsorship with Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP), a Samoa-based crypto startup. Former board member Xavier Vilajoana calls the deal financial desperation and flags red flags around ZKP's leadership and its links to controversial figures like Andrew Tate. The club says it has no connection to any token or its issuance, and insists it did not discuss token plans during sponsorship talks, even as it carries about €469 million of debt. ZKP recently launched social channels and an ICO, but ownership and funding remain unclear. Industry skeptics warn that ventures "founded out of nowhere" can be risky, especially with the niche math behind zero-knowledge proofs. The saga highlights scrutiny of sports sponsorships amid tight finances.

Coffee Prices Settle Higher as Brazilian Real Climbs, Lifting Arabica and Robusta

November 28, 2025, 7:10 PM EST. On Monday, July arabica coffee futures (KCN25) closed up 0.98% and July ICE robusta futures (RMN25) rose 1.85%, as a rally in the Brazilian real supported the market. The real climbed to an 8-month high, discouraging export selling from Brazil's farmers. Prices had started weaker after above-normal rainfall in Brazil briefly eased concerns about dryness. Minas Gerais, the biggest arabica region, received 23.4 mm of rain for the week, but overall harvest activity and ample global supplies have kept a lid on gains. USDA/FAS and Safras & Mercado projects point to higher 2025/26 production for Brazil and Vietnam. Inventories on ICE rose, adding to the bearish backdrop from demand concerns, though tighter export flows from Brazil offer some support for prices.

Brazilian Real Strength Supports Sugar Prices as Global Surplus Looms

November 28, 2025, 7:08 PM EST. Sugar prices closed mixed as NY #11 rose 0.46% and London #5 fell 0.23%; the market found support from a stronger Brazilian real. The real's strength is limiting export demand from Brazil's mills, helping to sustain domestic sugar prices. StoneX trimmed Brazil's 2026/27 Center-South production to 41.5 MMT, adding to a cautious supply outlook alongside a ISO forecast of a 2025/26 global sugar surplus and a 3.2% y/y rise in output to 181.8 MMT. India's potential boost to ethanol pricing and export allowances for 2025/26 also factor in. Overall, a mix of carryover support and a larger crop abroad keeps prices under pressure, even as near-term gains appear shallow.

Wall Street edges higher on Friday as S&P 500 nears record high

The Dow gained about 289 points and the Nasdaq rose 0.7%, capping a five-day rally ahead of Thanksgiving. AI fears weighed on some names, with Nvidia down 1.8% for November and Oracle down 23% while Palantir slid 16%. Alphabet jumped nearly 14% on excitement around Gemini AI. Traders expect another Fed rate cut next month, reinforcing a cautious tilt that supports equities despite mixed inflation data. Retail action also drew attention on Black Friday, with Macy's slightly lower and Kohl's higher amid mixed early receipts.

Tencent Music (NYSE:TME) Valuation Post-Volatility: Is There Upside?

November 28, 2025, 7:02 PM EST. After a 21.5% one-month slide, Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) retains strong longer-term momentum: YTD ~58.9% higher and a 3-year TSR of ~148.3%. The move looks driven by shifting risk appetite in Chinese tech rather than deteriorating fundamentals. The narrative-implied fair value of $27.47 points to meaningful upside versus the last close, underpinned by content differentiation (exclusive partnerships with Korean labels and Chinese artists), artist incubation, and AI-powered personalization that lift advertising revenue, margins, and cash efficiency. The bullish case rests on higher gross margins, premium pricing, and a defensible market share. However, risks include margin pressure from lower-profit segments and heightened regulatory scrutiny that could temper growth. Read the full narrative to understand the assumptions behind the valuation.

Futures also ticked higher, signaling continued risk appetite ahead of a possible Fed rate cut; odds jumped to about 83% for the December meeting. Strength in semiconductors outweighed a light volume backdrop created by a Thanksgiving half-day and a CME outage earlier in the week. The session capped a solid Q3 earnings season, with about 83% of reporting S&P 500 companies beating forecasts and aggregate earnings up around +14.6% y/y. Global markets were mixed but broadly higher, while the 10-year yield hovered near 4.02% as investors priced in continued monetary easing.

Earlier, a CME outage briefly froze futures trading, but the cash market stayed calm.

The piece notes that DCFs vary in reliability and illustrates how growth, discount rates, and terminal assumptions shape the result.

NIO Valuation in Focus After Q3 Growth, Margin Gains, and Cautious Q4 Outlook

November 28, 2025, 6:40 PM EST. NIO's Q3 results showcased strong deliveries and expanding gross margins as new models gain traction, but Q4 guidance was trimmed amid subsidy cuts and softer demand. In the wake of a 23.5% pullback over the past month, investors weigh whether the stock remains undervalued given record deliveries, improved vehicle margins, and a broader push into international markets. Bulls point to NIO's expanding model lineup (ONVO L90, ES8, FIREFLY), a growing Power Swap program and charging network, and higher revenue visibility from services as catalysts for continued top-line growth and margin stability. Risks include persistent losses, fierce EV competition, and subsidies fading, which could pressure margins. The narrative's fair value around $6.83 labels NIO as undervalued, though execution and profitability trajectory will be key.

NIO Valuation in Focus After Q3 Growth, Margin Gains, and Cautious Q4 Outlook

November 28, 2025, 6:38 PM EST. NIO posted a robust Q3 with deliveries rising and gross margins improving as new models take hold, but management lowered Q4 guidance amid subsidy cuts and softer demand. The stock has fallen about 23.5% in the last month despite record deliveries and a stronger margin mix. The 1-year TSR stands around 21.9%, reflecting optimism over the expanded model lineup, international push, and the growing Power Swap/charging network. Near term momentum looks uneven as subsidy wind-downs and intense competition cloud profitability prospects. Bulls point to a larger addressable market and recurring revenue from charging infra, but the path to durable profits remains a key risk due to persistent net losses and margin pressure. Fair value around $6.83, suggesting the stock is undervalued versus a roughly $5.46 near-term price.

NIO Valuation in Focus After Q3 Growth, Margin Gains, and Cautious Q4 Outlook

November 28, 2025, 6:36 PM EST. NIO (NYSE:NIO) posted a solid Q3 with deliveries surging and gross margins improving as new models hit the market, yet Q4 guidance was cut in response to subsidy cuts and softer demand. The shares have fallen about 23.5% over the past month, even as 1-year TSR sits near 21.9% on optimism about model expansion and international push. Bulls point to a broader model lineup, stronger Power Swap and charging infrastructure, and a widening revenue base from recurring services. The mixed setup raises the question: is the pullback creating an UNDERVALUED setup at a fair value around $6.83, or are growth prospects already priced in? Risks include ongoing losses, competitive pressure, and subsidy wind-down impacting margins. Read the full narrative and see the key risks.

In Q3 2025, Lilly posted revenue of $17.6B and EPS $6.21, guiding full-year revenue of about $63-$63.5B and non-GAAP EPS of $23.00-$23.70. A November 6 deal with the U.S. government to expand access to obesity medicines could influence pricing and affordability, adding a new layer to the stock's long-term thesis.

Intel stock pops on analyst signal of improved Apple partnership prospects

November 28, 2025, 5:38 PM EST. Intel shares jumped 10.3% to $40.56 on Friday, nearing a one-year high, after TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said industry surveys suggest visibility of Intel becoming an advanced-node supplier to Apple has improved. Kuo noted Apple plans to use Intel to ship its lowest-end M processor used in MacBook Airs and iPad Pros. While Intel would still trail rival TSMC in the coming years, a deal with Apple and other tier-one customers could bolster its long-term outlook. The stock has climbed about 102.3% since January, and investors will watch for further confirmation of any partnership as the story develops.

December Could Lift Markets as Seasonal Strength and Rate Cut Bets Drive Year-End Rally

November 28, 2025, 5:36 PM EST. Wall Street hopes December will mirror its seasonally strong track record and push the market to fresh highs. After a mixed November, with the Dow and S&P 500 ending higher but the Nasdaq slipping, traders expect December's favorable history to reassert itself. Since 1950, December has often been among the best months for the Dow and S&P 500, and the Nasdaq also tends to shine since 1971. Optimists point to robust Q3 earnings, a likely December rate cut by the Fed, and year-end rebalancing as tailwinds. Yet nervousness remains over AI stocks' lofty valuations and recent tech weakness. Still, managers are adding back selective tech exposure, eyeing leaders like Microsoft and AMD, in anticipation of a stronger finish to 2025.

Can Intel's AI Chip Push Justify Its 82% Surge in 2025?

November 28, 2025, 5:34 PM EST. Intel's AI chip push has sparked a rally, with shares up 82.0% YTD and a 6.7% gain last week, aided by AI accelerator bets and policy momentum. Yet the stock carries caution: a 3/6 valuation score signals a mixed outlook as the company rides transformation costs and earnings volatility. In a two-step DCF model, current FCF runs at -$13.65B but is projected to turn positive by 2027, reaching $4.32B in 2029 and $10.95B by 2035, producing an intrinsic value of $14.88 per share and an overvalued verdict of roughly 147%. A P/S approach also flags headwinds amid the transition. Bottom line: Intel's upside hinges on execution of its AI strategy and favorable policy dynamics.

Gold climbs fourth straight month as rate-cut bets firm up, eyes record high

November 28, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Gold futures settled near $4,240/oz, marking a fourth straight monthly gain and narrowing the gap to the record high of around $4,336 set in October. Markets increasingly price in a December rate cut of at least 25 basis points as Fed officials stay dovish, boosting gold's appeal where income is scarce. A softer US dollar and ongoing central-bank buying underpin bullion, helping annual gains exceed 60%. Goldman Sachs and UBS have raised targets toward $4,900 by end-2026 and $4,500, respectively, highlighting gold's role as a portfolio hedge amid inflationary risk from policy promises and spending.

Intel stock jumps as Kuo says Apple deal prospects have improved significantly

November 28, 2025, 5:28 PM EST.

The note points to improved visibility for a potential Apple-Intel collaboration, a development that could boost Intel's foundry business and alter investor sentiment around the stock. Traders will monitor for any formal confirmation from Apple or Intel on a binding deal, though the situation remains uncertain.

Cocoa Prices Rally as Dollar Slump Triggers Short Covering; Inventories Tight, West Africa Crop Prospects Lift Sentiment

November 28, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. Cocoa prices surged today as the dollar weakened, triggering short-covering in NY and London futures. March ICE NY cocoa rose 8.44% and December ICE London cocoa gained about 4.5%, with futures posting fresh one-week highs. A softer dollar spurred short-covering, while shrinking inventories in US ports to 1.709 million bags supported the rally. Funds remain net-short in London cocoa, per last week's COT, raising the risk of a further squeeze. Still, forecasts of a robust West Africa crop – Ivory Coast and Ghana reports, plus a 7% above-average pod count in Ivory Coast – underpin sentiment. Structural headwinds include a delayed EU deforestation law, ample regional supply, and soft demand, with Hershey noting weaker Halloween sales weighing on cocoa demand.

Intel Momentum Surges as Rate-Cut Bets Lift IDM 2.0 Amid TSMC Drama

November 28, 2025, 5:20 PM EST. Intel's momentum jumps as Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings move INTC into the top tier of relative strength, with the momentum score rising from 88.53 to 90.51 week over week. Investors are prioritizing macro tailwinds over the TSMC-related legal drama, as optimism builds around a potential Fed rate cut supported by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan forecasts. A lower rate environment could lower Intel's weighted average cost of capital and lift the net present value of its capital-intensive IDM 2.0 expansion in Arizona and Ohio. Intel has defended its hire of a former TSMC executive amid the controversy, calling the move a healthy industry practice. Year-to-date gains remain strong, underscoring outperformance versus the Nasdaq 100.

Chewy's Vet Care Network: The Growth Engine Behind Its Ecosystem

November 28, 2025, 5:18 PM EST. Chewy CHWY is expanding its Vet Care (CVC) network, positioning healthcare clinics as a high-value customer acquisition engine. Management says CVC patients generate the steepest NSPAC curves and rapidly migrate into premium consumables, supplements, and pharmacy, bolstering Chewy's Autoship economics and gross margin per customer. The layered offering keeps customers in Chewy's ecosystem across food, supplies, and health services, driving deeper engagement and recurring transactions. Chewy aims to open 8-10 new practices in fiscal 2025, targeting about 20 clinics by year-end, reinforcing healthcare presence. While the growth narrative supports long-term profitability and loyalty, the stock trades at a rich valuation (forward P/E near 48 versus ~24 industry average) and sits with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Intel Stock Surges on TSMC Executive Raid; Apple Foundry Talks Boost INTC

November 28, 2025, 5:17 PM EST. Intel stock rose about 8% at Thursday's open amid a high-profile probe into former TSMC executive Wei-Jen Lo, with Taiwanese authorities searching his home, seizing computers, and freezing assets as prosecutors pursue questions of stolen technology and trade secrets. TSMC has filed civil action alleging violation of non-compete and IP protections. Lo joined Intel as VP of R&D after leaving TSMC. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan labeled the allegations speculation and stressed commitment to IP rights. The news comes as Intel weighs risks from an $11.1 billion U.S. government stake, while optimism persists about a potential Apple foundry partnership, with chatter that Apple may adopt Intel for its 18A process and related orders.

Carnival Stock Rebounds From Pandemic Lows: What Investors Should Know

November 28, 2025, 5:14 PM EST. Carnival (NYSE: CCL) slumped over 80% during the pandemic but has since staged a recovery. The company has cut costs and pursued a SEA Change plan, replacing legacy ships with fuel-efficient models and boosting onboard spend. In the latest quarter it delivered a record net income of $1.9B on $8.2B in revenue, marking the 10th straight quarter of record revenue, with advanced bookings at higher prices. Over three years, CCL has risen about 160% and outperformed the S&P 500, though it remains roughly 50% below pre-pandemic levels. Risks include consumer-spending weakness and macro headwinds like tariffs weighing on sentiment. The story offers potential upside for investors who can tolerate travel-demand sensitivity after a rebound driven by demand for cruises.

Major data outage halts US futures and options trading; CME resumes after 10-hour outage

November 28, 2025, 5:12 PM EST. A major data center outage in Illinois, owned by Cyrus One, knocked out live prices for more than 10 hours, halting futures and options trading on the CME Group across US stock indexes, Treasuries, gold and oil. Trading resumed mid-morning Friday, though volumes remained thin during the Thanksgiving holiday period. Brokers faced the risk of closing positions with no live quotes, prompting caution as liquidity dried up. Industry voices warned the outage underscores concerns about reliability of market infrastructure, even as NYSE and Nasdaq stocks traded normally. CME handles about $1.5 trillion daily in equity index futures and options and about $9.6 trillion in notional value for rates; October average daily derivatives volume was 26.3 million contracts. The incident follows CME's past outages, including the 2019 disruption and the Aurora data center deal in 2016.

TSMC sues ex-SVP over alleged trade-secret leakage to Intel as shares slide

November 28, 2025, 5:10 PM EST. TSMC filed a lawsuit against its former senior vice president Wei-Jen Lo, accusing him of leaking trade secrets and confidential information to Intel after 21 years at the company. The suit hinges on Lo's employment contract and non-compete, with regulators noting a high probability of leakage. TSMC's shares dropped more than 3% while Intel's stock slipped about 1.5% in mid-morning trade. Taiwan's High Prosecutors opened an investigation; Intel declined comment. The case underscores ongoing tensions over intellectual property in the semiconductor sector.

Crude Prices Rally as Dollar Slump and War Uncertainty Support Oil

November 28, 2025, 5:06 PM EST. Crude prices push higher as the dollar weakens and geopolitical uncertainties persist. January WTI (CLF26) and January RBOB (RBF26) rise, with the market citing a softer DXY and a rally to 1-week highs. Traders also weigh ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war risks after President Putin's vague remarks and fresh skepticism on peace prospects. Support comes from Baker Hughes showing US oil rigs at a multi-year low, signaling tighter near-term supply. Market chatter points to an OPEC+ pause on output hikes in early 2026, while sanctions and reduced Russian exports tighten supplies. Global oil surplus forecasts fade as demand signals remain mixed.

Coffee Prices Rally to 1-Week High on Brazilian Real Strength

November 28, 2025, 5:04 PM EST. Coffee futures rose to 1-week highs as a rally in the Brazilian real sparked short covering in Arabica and Robusta. March arabica (KCH26) gained 0.21%, and January RMF26 rose 1.01%. The move was aided by dryness concerns in Brazil, with Minas Gerais receiving 26.4 mm of rain in the week ended Nov 21 – about 49% of the historical average. In Vietnam, Dak Lak is forecast to receive heavy showers that could delay harvests and keep Robusta supplies tight. ICE inventories tightened further: arabica at a 1.75-year low and robusta at a 6.5-month low, supporting prices. Past tariff moves and policy shifts have trimmed US purchases from Brazil, contributing to a tight global backdrop, while Vietnam's 2025/26 outlook remains higher if weather holds.

Analysts note the rally may be a short-term AI-driven move rather than a shift in bearish sentiment. Historically, December has been strong (average 1.3% gain since 1928; 70 positive finishes). In single-stock action, CleanSpark (CLSK) surged 12.3% post-earnings, with Needham lifting the target to $25 (upside ~65%).

2 Network Software Stocks to Watch Amid a Challenging Industry

November 28, 2025, 4:44 PM EST. Two network software stocks to watch amid a challenging industry are Weave Communications (WEAV) and Ribbon Communications (RBBN). The Zacks Communications-Network Software space faces macro headwinds, but demand is driven by ongoing digitalization, cloud migration and the rollout of 5G networks. Enterprises are increasingly deploying cloud-based and hybrid solutions, while a rising focus on network security supports vendors offering AI/ML-powered threat protection. Automation tools are also gaining traction as companies seek to deploy and manage services more efficiently. For Weave and Ribbon, upside hinges on expanding cloud/SaaS portfolios, enhanced security capabilities, and continued adoption of automated, software-defined networking in a cloud-first world.

Coinbase vs Riot Platforms: Which Bitcoin-Exposed Crypto Play Wins?

November 28, 2025, 4:43 PM EST. Bitcoin's surge has pulled crypto names into the spotlight, but investor bets split between Coinbase Global (COIN) and Riot Platforms (RIOT). Coinbase sits at the center of US crypto adoption, aiming to be an everything exchange with a growing product suite-from Layer 2 infrastructure via Base to stablecoins and DeFi partnerships. It benefits from a US-centric revenue base and potential pro-crypto policy signals. Riot, by contrast, remains one of North America's largest Bitcoin miners, seeking margin through efficiency and a shift toward recurring revenue in AI/HPC infrastructure. Both are sensitive to Bitcoin price and macro policy, but COIN leans toward services and ecosystem amplification, while RIOT leans on blockchain demand and scalable mining growth. The outcome hinges on regulatory clarity, energy costs, and crypto-cycle momentum.

MP Materials Stock Surges on DoD-Maaden JV and Analyst Upgrade

November 28, 2025, 4:40 PM EST. MP Materials (MP) surged about 12% last week after a BMO upgrade to Buy with a $75 target. The rally followed a pullback analysts say creates an entry point and was helped by a DoD-Maaden joint venture: MP would own 49% of a rare-earth refinery in Saudi Arabia, strengthening the U.S. domestic supply chain. The deal mirrors prior backing from the DoD ($400 million) and a decade-long magnet-purchase agreement, plus a separate Apple partnership worth $500 million. While rare-earth prices and project execution carry risk, the expanded public-private backing could lift MP's strategic importance. Investors should note mixed views from Stock Advisor on MP's near-term upside; the risk/reward remains nuanced.

Is a Major Rotation into Crypto Brewing as Valuations Diverge

November 28, 2025, 4:34 PM EST. Valuations are flashing a potential rotation signal. The gap between crypto and the stock market has widened as the S&P 500 trades at a forward P/E of 23.1-above long-term averages-pushing value seekers toward cheaper assets. For 2025, the global crypto market cap is down about 10%, even as ETFs helped lift Bitcoin to new highs earlier in the year; Bitcoin remains down roughly 10% year over year. Yet the undercurrent isn't dead: ongoing demand for stores of value like Bitcoin and for smart-contract platforms such as Ethereum and Solana is improving, aided by ETF inflows. If valuations converge, risk appetite could rotate capital into crypto, potentially marking a major cycle shift.

Traders noted a light trading session after Thanksgiving and a CME outage earlier in the week, with futures resuming at 8:30 AM. Q3 earnings season nears completion; Bloomberg Intelligence notes 83% of S&P 500 results beat estimates, on pace for the best quarter since 2021. Globally, European and Asian indices rose; the 10-year yield drifted higher to around 4.03% as stocks traded higher.

Stock-market swings: 6 questions to guide your next trade

November 28, 2025, 4:28 PM EST. Markets have been choppy as investors toggle between hopes of a December rate cut and fears of an AI bubble. The VIX has stayed elevated, underscoring that downturns can materialize even as many S&P 500 companies beat both earnings and revenue estimates. The piece lays out six questions to ask before trading: 1) Has anything changed at the company or industry that could impact future earnings power? 2) Has a macroeconomic shift changed what investors are willing to pay for those earnings? It argues for a bottom-up view on fundamentals while also considering a top-down view of valuation multiples. The takeaway: long-term risks and opportunities matter more than daily moves, and a disciplined framework can turn volatility into buying opportunities when the thesis remains intact.

Stocks Rise for Fifth Straight Day as Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Climb; November Ends Mixed

Year-ahead targets varied: Deutsche Bank suggesting around 8,000 on the S&P 500 by end-2026, while HSBC and JPMorgan indicate roughly 7,500. Markets closed early for Thanksgiving; no major data due.

Gold Set for 2026 Rally as Banks Forecast $5,000/oz and Higher

November 28, 2025, 4:22 PM EST. Gold has surged this year and analysts expect more gains in 2026. Several Wall Street firms now project higher prices, with Deutsche Bank raising its 2026 target to about $4,450-$4,500 and UBS signaling a similar path, while some forecasts point to $5,000/oz by year-end. A Goldman Sachs survey shows nearly 70% of institutional investors expect prices to rise, and 36% foresee a breach of $5,000 before 2027. The metal was near $4,220/oz recently, still well above 2025 levels as a weaker dollar, ongoing central bank demand, geopolitical risk, and ETF inflows support gold. The bullish case rests on inelastic demand, steady purchases by banks, and uncertainty that keeps gold as a preferred safe haven for portfolios.

The bull case highlights how risk sentiment, currency dynamics, and evolving crypto markets can support bullion. Traders will be watching for how rate paths evolve and how gold performs as macro drivers shift, especially in relation to bond yields and the broader financial backdrop.

Goldman Traders See Cleaner December Setup as Market Breath Improves

November 28, 2025, 3:56 PM EST. Goldman Sachs' trading desk says the S&P 500 may end November essentially flat, but the path into December looks clearer as volatility cools, market breadth improves and trend strategies shift to buyers. A rebound in the five-day breadth (advancers minus decliners) back toward +150 after a mid-month trough signals broader participation beyond a narrow squeeze. Goldman notes the Volatility Panic Index sits around five, below its November highs and near its three-year average. After roughly $16 billion of S&P 500 selling was absorbed, Goldman's view moves to modest net buying of about $4.7 billion for the next month. All told, a cleaner starting point into December despite a small November loss, aided by rate-cut expectations and AI momentum.

PriceSmart ROCE Rises: Signals of Sustainable Growth for PSMT

November 28, 2025, 3:54 PM EST. Two long-term growth signals highlighted: growing ROCE and increasing capital employed. For PriceSmart (PSMT), trailing twelve-month ROCE is 15% (EBIT ÷ (Total Assets − Current Liabilities) = US$238m ÷ (US$2.3b − US$726m)). This 15% sits above the Consumer Retailing industry average of 12%. Over five years, ROCE has risen while capital employed expanded by about 42%, suggesting the business is reinvesting profits at higher returns. With a 56% stock rally over five years, investors are starting to price in these improvements. If these trends continue, PriceSmart could see further upside; however, the piece notes a single warning sign to monitor. In short, the company's ability to reinvest capital at improving returns points to a potentially brighter long-term path, subject to risks.

Why Intel Stock Jumped Friday Amid TSMC Lawsuit News

November 28, 2025, 3:48 PM EST. Intel stock surged on Friday morning, rising about 6-8% intraday on headlines that aren't clearly positive. Reuters reported that TSMC is suing Intel to block the hiring of former TSMC VP Wei-Jen Lo, amid concerns he could transfer trade secrets. The Wall Street Journal notes a Taiwan criminal investigation and raids tied to the case. Intel says there's no merit to the allegations. For traders, the move is odd: a legal spat between rivals usually doesn't push the target higher. With a market cap around $176B-$187B, Intel remains cash-burning and not yet generating steady positive free cash flow, per analysts. The takeaway: the stock's Friday pop may reflect volatility and headlines more than a fundamental shift, leaving some observers bearish on the name.

Dollar Gains on Month-End Buying as Fed Chair Speculation Moves Markets

November 28, 2025, 3:40 PM EST. Dollar index nudges higher on month-end buying, with trading light after a data-center fault disrupted CME activity. Gains are capped by broad stock strength. Bets on who leads the Fed-with Kevin Hassett as a potential dovish chair-keep USD sensitivities elevated. Markets price roughly an 84% chance of a 25 bp Fed rate cut at the December meeting. In EUR/USD, the euro falls as weak German data and firming euro-area inflation expectations weigh, while ECB policy pricing remains mixed. USD/JPY slides modestly as Japan's data bolster a hawkish BOJ stance, despite signs of a softer labor market. Overall, month-end flows and rate bets are driving cautious, directional moves.

Private-Equity-Owned Data Center Behind CME Outage Highlights Fragile Market Infrastructure

November 28, 2025, 3:38 PM EST. Roughly 45 minutes from downtown Chicago, a CyrusOne data center in Aurora sits at the core of global markets, handling a daily surge of notional volume for CME Group and other venues. The 450,000-square-foot facility has long drawn high-frequency traders seeking ultra-low latency, with rivals courting proximity for speed. CME sold the site to CyrusOne in 2016, outsourcing day-to-day operations while keeping a high-speed backbone for its Globex platform. Last Friday's cooling-system outage disrupted virtually all CME futures and options trading, underscoring how a single infrastructure asset-owned by a private entity-can ripple across equities, FX, bonds and commodities.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) Valuation Under Scrutiny After 23% Monthly Rally

November 28, 2025, 3:30 PM EST. C.H. Robinson Worldwide has surged over 23% in the past month, buoying a 55% year-to-date return. The latest narrative pins a fair value just below the last close, implying a small premium and a debate whether momentum already discounts future growth. Growth leans on digital capabilities, automated, self-serve logistics tools, and data-driven pricing that could lift revenue and help gain market share. Key risks include ongoing global trade uncertainty and competition from smaller, tech-enabled brokers. The narrative weighs potential margin expansion against a rich valuation, helping readers judge if the rally is sustainable.

YieldBoost DKS: 8.9% Annualized Yield With January 2028 Covered Call

November 28, 2025, 3:26 PM EST. Shareholders of Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) can boost income beyond the 2.4% dividend yield by selling the January 2028 covered call at the $260 strike and collecting the $28.50 bid premium. That premium annualizes to about 6.5%, producing a combined 8.9% annualized yield if the stock stays below $260. Upside above $260 would be capped if called away, requiring roughly a 28.1% advance from current levels to trigger the call, yielding about 42.1% total return from this level plus dividends. The analysis cites a 44% trailing twelve-month volatility, a discussion of dividend reliability, charts, and option-volume context from StockOptionsChannel.

YieldBoost for IBP: 12.1% Annualized via June 2026 $320 Covered Call

November 28, 2025, 3:24 PM EST. Applied to Installed Building Products Inc (IBP), the YieldBoost strategy uses the June 2026 covered call at the $320 strike. With a current stock price around $268.74 and the $17.30 bid on the option, the premium annualizes to about 11.6% extra yield, bringing the total to roughly 12.1% if IBP isn't called away. A rise above $320 would trigger assignment, capping upside but delivering a 25.1% return from this trade plus any dividends collected before expiration. The plan hinges on a ~45% volatility backdrop and a 0.6% dividend yield, with risk of losing upside beyond $320. Investors should consider dividend history and profitability when judging continuation of the payout.

The breakout above the moving average may appeal to traders watching for a trend shift, with the stock near the midpoint of its 52-week range (~$25.81-$50.00). If higher volume confirms, the move could signal renewed momentum toward the next resistance level. Monitor how RARE behaves around the 200-day line in coming sessions and whether the breakout sustains into a new uptrend.

The 200-DMA signal cited from TechnicalAnalysisChannel.com adds a technical backdrop to the rally. While the breakout above the moving average can attract momentum players, investors may want to watch for consolidation and volume confirmation before extrapolating further gains.

YieldBoost Strategy: Turning Scotts Miracle-Gro's 4.7% Dividend into 19.1% with a March 2026 Covered Call

November 28, 2025, 3:16 PM EST. An options-based approach lets Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) shareholders lift the 4.7% dividend into an annualized 19.1% YieldBoost by selling the March 2026 $62.50 covered call and collecting the $2.50 bid premium. If the stock stays below $62.50, the return equals the dividend plus premium; the current price is around $56.48. Upside beyond $62.50 would be forfeited if called, requiring about 10.5% stock upside for a call to be executed, yielding roughly 14.9% plus any dividends. The analysis also cites ~38% trailing volatility and the value of charting history to judge reward vs risk.

SentinelOne: Valuation Signals Possible Undervaluation After Price Dip

November 28, 2025, 2:14 PM EST. SentinelOne (S) has slid after a 1.8% intraday dip, but continued double-digit revenue growth keeps investors watching for a turnaround. YTD losses near 29% and a -43% trailing return underscore volatility, yet the stock trades below consensus targets. A bull case rests on AI-driven, autonomous security gains, enterprise adoption of Purple AI, and an AI-native SIEM platform, which could support sustained revenue and premium margins. The latest narrative pegs a fair value around $23.50, signaling undervaluation if assumptions hold. Key risks include revenue volatility from deal timing and margin pressure from acquisitions. Investors are left weighing growth prospects against near-term volatility.

November 28, 2025, 2:12 PM EST. DLocal (NasdaqGS: DLO) has drawn investor attention as shares hover near a $13.05 price after a mixed run. Over the last 12 months, holders have earned a total return of 19.5%, and longer-term momentum remains constructive into 2024. The central question: is this a hidden bargain or is the market already pricing future growth? WynnLevi pins a fair value of $195.39, suggesting the stock is UNDERVALUED relative to narrative expectations. DLocal's moat rests on a single platform for cross-border payments with deep local integrations and strong regulatory expertise. Valuation metrics show 22.5x earnings vs a 13.6x industry avg and a 21.8x fair ratio, though peers trade near 61x. Key risks include execution and onboarding delays.

Materion: Five-Year TSR Surges 100% as Revenue Grows Despite EPS Decline

November 28, 2025, 2:00 PM EST. Materion (NYSE:MTRN) posted a five-year TSR of 100%, outperforming the market even as EPS fell about 5.2% per year. The share price rose roughly 94% over five years, vs. about 67% for the market, while the dividend yield remained modest at around 0.5%. Revenue grew at a compound rate of roughly 6.2% over the period, suggesting management prioritized top-line expansion over near-term earnings. Because TSR accounts for reinvested dividends and other return components, it provides a fuller picture than price gains alone. Materion's five-year annual TSR of around 15% underscores long-run outperformance, even as near-term gains have slowed. Investors should weigh the longer-term track record against a modest dividend and a potential deceleration in price appreciation.

Management highlights brand resilience and cost control as the stock navigates headwinds. A valuation check scores the stock 3/6 on being undervalued, signaling a mixed picture. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis yields a fair value of €62.57 per share, suggesting the stock could be about 37.5% undervalued versus the current price if forecasts hold. The model uses €15.53m in latest Free Cash Flow and projects growth toward €135m by 2030 under a two-stage FCF-to-equity approach. Investors should weigh forecast sensitivity and peer momentum before deciding whether the 2025 setup offers an opportunity.

The AI Energy Boom: Why a Hidden Toll Booth Player Could Power the Next Market Move

November 28, 2025, 1:46 PM EST. AI is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime, but it's also incredibly energy-hungry. Every data center powering large models consumes massive power, straining grids and lifting prices. Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into AI, training smarter bots and automating industries. The question few ask: where does that energy come from? A hidden backdoor play could profit most from the AI energy surge-not a chipmaker or cloud platform, but a company that owns essential nuclear and energy-infrastructure assets and can execute large EPC projects across oil, gas, renewables and industrial builds. It's positioned at the heart of U.S. LNG exports and tariffs-driven onshoring. AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure. This "Toll Booth" operator may profit as demand expands.
