Fundamentals — $110M revenue in Q4 2025, $19M non-GAAP net income, and roughly $51.7M of free cash flow — support a tactical long.

Arlo's pivot to a subscription-first model and steady free cash flow give the stock bullish fundamentals. With subscriptions already making up a majority of sales and management active in investor outreach, the setup favors a mid-term long trade while preserving downside protection through a tight stop.

Global Partners (GLP) offers a compelling risk/reward today: market cap ~$1.5B, free cash flow of $193M and an EV/EBITDA of 8.5 suggest the business is priced for weakness. The partnership still generates strong cash and pays a high yield (roughly 6.8%). We favor a mid-term long trade to capture a valuation rerate and dividend income, with a strict…
FNMAS (Fannie Mae M/A 8.25 PR S) is vulnerable to a supply-driven downshift if Fannie/Freddie announce a large secondary or follow-on issuance of preferreds or common-equivalent instruments.
