Stock highlight $SHIP
Dry bulk shipping (iron ore, coal). Strong Q2 results (EPS beat with major YoY growth), solid utilization, attractive dividend, and positive industry positioning.
A (Strong Buy); recent price around $18.81 with analyst targets up to $25
— plus the Beige Book. Meta's Connect event starts.
• Thu: the big day — Costco earnings after the close, jobless claims, new home sales, and a Trump–Xi meeting.
• Fri: durable goods orders + final consumer sentiment.
This week's catalysts
• Mon: quiet data day; Fed's Goolsbee speaks midday. Thin Asia with Japan closed.
• Tue: three Fed speakers (Williams, Jefferson, Barkin) in one afternoon + a 2-year Treasury auction.
• Wed: flash PMIs (2:45pm ET) — first real data since the hike
$CVX | $208.60
Appealing: $185–195 | Full-size: $165–175 |
Invalidation: close below $155 or dividend cut / buybacks halted with oil still mid-cycle
Horizon: 12–18 months | Next date: Q3 print Oct 23
A cooler oil tape is a headwind for the multiple even if volumes stay high
$AVGO $365
Add at : $330–350
Full-size: $300–320, cap 4–5% (do not double-count with a max NVDA weight)
Trim: 20% into $450+ if FY27 AI is not raised and the multiple expands anyway
Kill: close below $295, or AI revenue sequentially breaks without a booked-offset

No fluff. Just clear, honest analysis.

Market is pricing: a quality compounder at a full multiple — iPhone cycle + services + buybacks, not an AI-re-rating.
Our angle: the business is excellent and capex-light; at ~35x forward you are paying for the franchise, not buying a discount.
$AAPL | $319.70 | Rating 6.0 / 10 | Conviction: medium
Appealing: $275–290 | Full-size: $245–265 | Invalidation: close below $240 or Sept-qtr growth + margin both miss with no mix offset
Highly liquid for its size, elevated volume on news. Volatility is structural (beta ~2.6). The May–August drawdown from $151 to the $60 already priced a lot of caution; further downside is possible if Neutron slips again.
$RKLB Price: $64.39 (Aug 28 close) · 52-week: $37.57–$151 · Cap: ~$39–41B
Rating: 5.5 / 10
Interesting after a large drawdown, but still priced for success that has not yet been demonstrated. Not a buy-now core position.
A small speculative starter is only justified if you accept binary hardware risk and can hold through potential further delays.
Appealing (tiny starter)
48–55Deeper discount if the market further questions 2026/early-2027 Neutron timing. Better risk/reward for a small position.
Full-size (still small risk budget)
$38–45Closer to the 52-week low zone and more conservative scenarios. Only size up with clear evidence Neutron is on track or with a hard, pre-defined stop.
Full-size
$480–500Deeper discount to Street targets and closer to more conservative intrinsic estimates. Requires conviction that the ad engine holds and AI eventually lifts returns.
$META Price: $578 · 52-week: $520–$791 · Cap: ~$1.47T
Rating: 7.0 / 10
Better risk/reward than many large-cap growth names after the derating, but not a 9–10 “buy now” while free cash flow is being deliberately crushed. Starter position is reasonable;
