Today’s Market Takes
High Conviction Buy on SMH for Semiconductor Exposure
"So, if I'm going to ignore the traditional balanced approach and rules, then I would be investing purely on where the constraints and the cash flows are right now. With that in mind, I would shift to a strategy of bottleneck and brains. I'm really waiting this based on urgency. So, where is the money flowing today versus where it might be flowing in 10 years? First is the engine room where I'm allocating 40%. This is where the cash flow is today and everyone knows it. You simply can't underweight a sector that's growing at 40% a year. So, I'd be putting 25% directly into the VANX Semiconductor ETF of SMH. This is my highest conviction hold because chips are the new oil of the 21st century. In my mind, 20% wouldn't be enough for the sector that's driving the entire stock market."
BWB - Business With Brian
The speaker explicitly recommends allocating 25% of the portfolio to SMH, the VANX Semiconductor ETF, underscoring its role as the engine of the current cash flow and its high-growth potential driven by semiconductor demand. He emphasizes that chips are critical in powering the market, making SMH a high conviction buy despite no explicit price target.
SoFi is an Undervalued Buy with Massive Upside
"So why is SoFi a buy right now? This is a classic winner takes most scenario. SoFi is successfully cross-selling high margin products to his 11 plus million members who are buying a company growing revenue at 15 to 20% and earnings at 50 plus percent. In a market starved for growth at a reasonable price, SoFi at $26 is a bargain compared to where it will be when it enters the S&P 500. And the verdict for 2026 is obvious. It's buy, hold, accumulate, watch it compound."
Corey (Invest With Corey)
The analyst presents an actionable trade call on SoFi, highlighting its strong cross-selling capabilities, profitability, and undervaluation at $26. He argues that as SoFi transitions into a blue chip bank with robust growth into 2026, the stock has significant upside potential for long-term holders.
Nvidia: Undisputed Bedrock of the 2026 AI Economy
"Nvidia stands as an unequivocal strong buy for 2026. Its data center revenue now accounts for 90% of total sales, and the company posted 57 billion in revenue in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 62% year-over-year. With guidance projecting Q4 revenue of 65 billion and a confirmed $500 billion order backlog, strong demand for its Blackwell architecture, and orders for H200 chips following export authorization, Nvidia offers a rare combination of hypergrowth and relative value. This makes it the undisputed bedrock of the 2026 AI economy."
Host (Invest With Corey)
The speaker emphasizes Nvidia's dominant position in the AI and data center space, citing its strong financial metrics, significant order backlog, and future revenue guidance to back a strong buy call for 2026.
Netflix Trade Call if Below Fair Value
"So total upside from here is 91% or about a 14% annual return. And in this case, if I want to double my money over the next 5 years buying Netflix, I would have to buy Netflix at about $87 per share. So my fair value hasn't really changed. I still believe $87 per share is fair for Netflix. I think $85 or under, it would start getting really interesting. It would start becoming what I would call a bargain. I still don't believe Netflix is a bargain. At 90, $91, $85, close to 85 or below, even 87, it starts to get interesting. Under 85 for me, it starts to get really, really interesting. And then you would have a ton of margin of safety. If the merger goes through, it's amazing. If it doesn't go through, Netflix will do well on its own. And that's my opinion on Netflix."
The Patient Investor
The speaker outlines a trade call for Netflix, emphasizing that its current fair value is around $87 per share. They indicate that if Netflix trades at $85 or lower, it becomes an attractive buy due to significant upside potential over the next 5 years, despite concerns over overvaluation and merger-related risks.
Google Gains Upgrades as Bullish AI and Cloud Catalysts Emerge
"with the first on the list, Google 119 bullish updates from 51 analysts. So that means all the analysts issued at least two revisions this year, some of them three times. This is a very strongly bullish uptrend in Google's sentiment trend. The consensus rose 50% in the last 12 months, leading to the high-end range. A favorable regulatory ruling has alleviated investor concern, and the company is firing on all cylinders with the launch of Gemini 3, strength in the Cloud Platform, and new revenue tied to its proprietary semiconductor technology."
Thomas Hughes (MarketBeat)
Google is experiencing a robust upgrade in analyst sentiment, underpinned by significant bullish revisions and a 50% rise in consensus price targets over the past year. Key catalysts include regulatory clarity, the launch of Gemini 3, and strong cloud and semiconductor initiatives, which suggest continued upside towards the high-end valuation range by year-end.
That's it!
