Economic Reports

โ€‹Homebuilder sentiment slumps due to tariffs. Material costs jumped 6.3% for 60% of builders, adding $10.9K per average home as construction headwinds multiply.

โ€‹Credit card delinquencies signal economic warning. Consumer credit card debt and missed payments rose to concerning levels.

Hereโ€™s the breakdown of the $148 trillion in total US household wealth in 2024:
โ€‹
๐Ÿ‘‘ The richest 1% of households own 31% of US wealth
๐Ÿ‘” The wealthiest 10% of households account for 67% of US wealth
๐Ÿฅก The bottom 50% of households own just 3% of US wealth

๐Ÿ“Š CHART

โ‰๏ธ What is the Zweig Breadth Thrust? It's a bullish technical indicator often used to identify potential trend reversals and assess market sentiment (it also has a 100% accuracy rate).

โ€‹

๐Ÿงฎ How is it calculated? The indicator takes the 10-day moving average of the number of advancing stocks across the market and divides it by the number of advancing stocks plus the number of declining stocks.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ’ก Why does it matter? The Zweig Breadth Thrust has a perfect record of predicting market gains 6 and 12 months after it appears. Since it was recently triggered, this means investing in the S&P 500 right now will (probably) make you some money in the next 6-12 months.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ“ˆ Stock Pick #1

โ€‹
$GEV (GE Vernova)
๐Ÿ“†
Publicly traded since 2024 (spun off from General Electric)
๐Ÿ’ฐ Specializes in decarbonization and renewables
๐Ÿ“ Headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts
โ€‹
โ€‹

Financial Green Flags

Based on Earnings Report:

โœ… Net income is up 295% Year-over-Year

โœ… Diluted EPS are up 293% Year-over-Year

โœ… Operating income is up 1991% Year-over-Year (not a typo)

โ€‹
Things to Consider

๐Ÿ’ก The company miraculously converted last yearโ€™s $106M loss into a $264M profit.

๐Ÿ’ก It announced a $600 million investment in U.S. factories and facilities over the next two years (manufacturing's coming back, baby) to meet the surging electricity demands.

๐Ÿ’ก Despite forecasting up to $400 million in tariff-related costs for 2025, GE Vernova is projecting revenue between $36 billion and $37 billion and free cash flow of $2 billion to $2.5 billion.

โ€‹
The Bottom Line

GE Vernova's solid financials, strategic investments, and confidence in the face of unstable macroeconomic conditions make it an attractive investment. Its financial outlook is especially refreshing since many companies have pulled their forecasts due to tariffs.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Stock Pick #2

โ€‹
$CRWV (CoreWeave)
๐Ÿ“†
Publicly traded since 2025
๐Ÿ’ฐ Specializes in cloud computing for AI
๐Ÿ“ Headquarters in Livingston, New Jersey

โ€‹
Financial Green Flags

Since CoreWeave went public recently, it hasn't published earnings yet. Here's some financial data we do have:

โœ… CoreWeave reported a 737% increase in revenue in 2024

โœ… Projections indicate continued growth, with expectations of 156% and 120% increases in 2025 and 2026, respectively.
โ€‹

Things to Consider

๐Ÿ’ก CoreWeave gets early access to cutting-edge GPU technology due to its relationship with Nvidia. This enhances its competitive edge in AI infrastructure.

๐Ÿ’ก The company secured a significant $11.9 billion contract with OpenAI to provide computing power for AI model training and deployment (OpenAI also directly invested $350 million in CoreWeave).

โ€‹
The Bottom Line

While we have limited financial data on the company, it has a lot of growth potential due to its strategic partnerships (e.g., Nvidia and OpenAI), technological advancements (operates 32 data centers equipped with over 250,000 Nvidia GPUs), and bullish analyst sentiment (price targets range from $43 to $54). You could invest now and enjoy some serious gains (or lessons in risk management), or you could wait until the first earnings report to get an official look at the company's financials.
