Nvidia remains the dominant supplier of AI GPUs and data-center networking. Fundamentals (free cash flow $77.3B, ROE 83%, debt/equity 0.07) justify a disciplined long exposure despite rich multiples.

Red Cat pre-announced Q4 2025 revenue of $24.0-26.5M driven by Black Widow deliveries and has moved from development to mass production with a $35M contract. The market is pricing rapid scaling into a $1.5B valuation; this trade captures upside to early analyst targets while protecting capital if execution slips.
United Bankshares (UBSI) looks expensive on momentum but remains fundamentally attractive: $6.3B market cap, 3.3% yield, low leverage, and recent M&A that boosts margins. I favor a controlled long with an entry at $45.52, stop at $42.00 and a mid-term target of $50.00 (45 trading days). Key risks include stretched technicals, rate sensitivity in mo…
