Starboard Catalyst Makes TripAdvisor a Compelling Swing Trade

Starboard Catalyst Makes TripAdvisor a Compelling Swing Trade

TripAdvisor has been beaten down to a sub-$10 stock after a string of near-term misses, but Starboard Value's 9% stake and push for a strategic review materially raise the odds of a re-rating. At an enterprise value of ~$1.24B, EV/EBITDA of 5.8x and free cash flow of $163M, the risk/reward favors a long swing trade while the activist process unfold…

Toast: Buy the Re-Rate on ARR Growth and Margin Expansion

Toast is a restaurant-focused SaaS and payments platform trading near $27.40. With guidance implying roughly $2.3B in ARR for 2026, $608M in free cash flow, and a healthy cash position, the bull case is simple: sustained net new locations and EBITDA expansion should drive multiple expansion from current EV/ARR levels.

VALE S.A. looks priced for disappointment today despite a $67B market cap, a sub-2x price-to-book ratio, and an eye-catching dividend yield near 8.7%. Combine cyclical tailwinds for iron ore with durable nickel exposure for batteries, and the risk-reward favors a long position over the next 180 trading days.

Copa Holdings: A High-Yield Airline Deep Value Setup with Room to Rebound

Copa Holdings: A High-Yield Airline Deep Value Setup with Room to Rebound

Copa Holdings (CPA) looks like a structurally profitable regional airline that has been punished in the short term.

Buy on Weakness: Alibaba's AI Optionality Justifies a Patient Long

Buy on Weakness: Alibaba's AI Optionality Justifies a Patient Long

Alibaba reported a mixed quarter on 03/19/2026: revenue growth slowed to +2% while adjusted EBITA plunged 57%, but cloud intelligence revenue and AI product traction remain strong. The stock is trading oversold with a 14-day RSI ~26 and a market cap near $302B. I think this is a worthwhile long trade on weakness with defined entry, stop and a 180-t…

Private Credit Crunch Is a Tailwind for AMD - Trade Plan Inside

A pullback in private credit is reducing the ability of smaller chip startups and captive AI silicon projects to scale. That dynamic benefits incumbents that combine design scale, foundry relationships, and clean balance sheets. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) checks those boxes: $6.7B free cash flow, near-zero leverage, and a market cap of roughly $3…

L'Oreal Looks Interesting Again for Patient Long-Term Buyers

L'Oreal's recent share buyback, steady 2025 sales of €44.05 billion and a technically oversold ADR (RSI ~31) create a compelling setup for long-term investors. I upgrade the name to attractive for a long-term trade with a clear entry at $79.90, a stop at $70.00 and a target of $95.00 over the next 180 trading days.

FMC: Tactical Long on Sale Speculation - Entry $13.73, Target $22.00

FMC is trading near its 52-week low after a brutal 2025. Management is exploring strategic alternatives, which creates a clear binary: a sale or renewed execution. This trade idea buys the rumor with a strict stop and a mid-term horizon to capture a potential takeover premium or short-covering rally while acknowledging the company’s negative earnin…

Twilio: Buy the Sticky CPaaS Story on a Measured Pullback

Twilio’s communications platform is showing durable adoption amid AI-driven product upgrades and improving expansion metrics.

Buy the Monetization Shift: Adobe Is Cheap, Not Broken

Adobe shares have sold off hard into 2026 on headlines - CEO transition, a $150M DOJ settlement and AI disruption fears - but fundamentals remain robust: ~$101B market cap, P/E ~14, free cash flow near $9.85B, and explicit AI partnerships that can re-accelerate revenue per seat.
