UNH has settled in around $300.

Current P/E of 12x, though the next 3 qtr's are expected to take a hit....before getting back on track. Projected EPS for 2026 is $26 per share.

MS put out a note this week with a $374 price target and an overweight rating.

I own it, way in the red, haven't added on this most recent downturn, but probably will soon.

Baclays said by the end of the year, so one of the next few quarterly updates.
Ya seems to be a matter of time.

Though one wonders if even if it got in to the S&P would it be a sell the news event? It's been on a hell of a rip.

I'm in at $290 and change. Up a little as of now, but happy to stay patient. This will likely take a few quarters to play out.

Good sign for healthcare in the recent jobs report?

"62,000 healthcare jobs were added in May - the most of any sector, and close to half of the total of 139,000 jobs added. The number of new healthcare jobs was roughly 40% more than the sector's average monthly gain over the past 12 months."

Interestingly MRNA topped the list of healthcare stocks in terms of 25-27 CAGR. 5x price to 2025 revs. A hair over 1x price to book.

LLY second on the list.

Sounds good to me. The sector will have a catch-up rally sooner or later. Speaking of possible new plays, LULU got crushed last week. I did a nice trade with it 6 months ago or so. It will definitely rally back to $400+.....just a matter of time. DECK also looks interesting.

The Linkster likes GAP after it's post earnings drop.

But she's liked TGT for awhile and that things been a dog.

Link is awesome, but she is prone to getting caught in value traps. I love it when she is high on a tech/growth stock. Many of those turn out to be good plays.

@Rutgers Chris - Big BTC pump. What's up? :)
Take your pick- still in a bull cycle, Circle’s IPO showing demand for crypto isn’t going anywhere, or someone front running an upcoming announcement.

The Global liquidity index has been a chart many have been pointing to. As the money printer turns on, so goes Bitcoin. I don’t follow the account below, just posting to show the chart

APP took the news a little harder yesterday but a little bit of a bounce this morning.
Getting into the S&P is a huge milestone. I can understand the boom or bust expectations getting too far ahead of reality.

By the way, seeing articles and comments about oil/energy stocks getting ready for a rally. I only have SLB Jan 2027 calls.....currently down 23%, but that could change quickly. CVX is still around $140. Love leap calls in this sector.

I've been positioning in some downtrodden names of late. RKT, CMG, even LLY which is down over the past 12 months.

I own SLB, sold out of DVN not too long ago, but that's all I have in oil. I do own CCJ(uranium) and that has bounced recently but has struggled in general. Been keeping an eye on other oil stocks to see if they look to be starting an upward trend.

CMG is one I need to buy. It's been on my watchlist for a long time. Great company. Doing well with SHAK, so that is a similar play.

I do own OUST, which has been great, and is up 20%(last I checked) today on news their lidar sensors have been approved for unmanned air craft by the US gov't.

Still fairly cheap at a little under 10x price to revs. With monster rev growth expected in the next couple years. Though it is not making money yet.

$1B market cap with this move. So trying to break out of micro cap status.

Looks bad on the one year chart, though maybe showing signs in the last couple weeks, bouncing off 52 week lows from early April. Still much closer to those lows then 52 week highs.

Looks much better on the 3 year.

I take it back on CCJ. It did struggle for a year, but the bounce off a double bottom has it all ATH's.

Looks amazing on the 5 year. Broke out past previous ATH resistance set way back in 2007.

Maintained at buy just today by Goldman. Up 5% today.

Anyways.

I'm in RDDT, was pretty deep in the red for a bit, should have added more as it's a smallish position, didn't, but now I'm back in the green.

Under 15x price to rev's, it's profitable, and 20+% rev growth moving fwd. EPS growth is more dramatic, somewhere around 80+% yoy 25-26.

I was looking at DDOG as a stock that has been stuck in a range for years as it grew into it's valuation and is starting to look pretty reasonable, but it's still more expensive price to rev's, without as good of growth on both rev's and eps. Still looks decent.

But RDDT looks pretty good I think.

OUST now up 30% on the day.

I'd like to sell call's but the highest upside available over the next couple months is $22. It's already $20.67

Watch for C to see if it can break out past $80. A level it has been rejected at 4 times in the last 10 years. That's pretty incredible.

.75 price to book.
