@QualCompounders Nice portfolio. Put your 15 stocks and weights into our simulator.

Backtest: +32.6% over the past year against +19.2% for the S&P 500.

Monte Carlo on those returns: the median outcome for the next year lands in a similar place.

@drayinvests Saw the $APP asymmetry earlier: down 62% from its high, at 17.6x this year’s earnings with a 76% operating margin.

On earnings quality it scores 89 out of 100 , free cash flow is 102% of net income, and none of the accounting red flags our platform looks at are tripped.

@Thomas_james_1 Street’s average $DELL target is $566, a little under today’s $586, and the high is $735. So $650 to $675 would put it above consensus and still inside the range. 20 of 30 analysts rate it a buy, and it has beaten estimates in 7 of its last 8 reports.

@Ashton_1nvests The people running $UBER seem to agree.

Insiders bought $16.9M of stock over the past year and sold $4.2M. The CEO bought $10M of it himself and don't forget the large buy by Pelosi in late Q1.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@TrendSpider $SHOP is up 26% over five years after an 85% drawdown and a 215% three-year run.
Revenue is growing 30%.
The average analyst target is $169, right at today’s price.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@unusual_whales Both ends of the list here.

Ten S&P 500 stocks are down about half or more this year.

$FICO -61%, $APP -59%, CoStar -56%, $BSX -55%, $LULU -55%, Intuit -54%.

Eight of the top ten are chips, memory or hardware.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@Spybef0rey0ubuy One way to look for it is to find stocks growing 20%+ and profitable, sorted by distance below the 200-day average.

$APP tops that list at 38% below, with revenue up 70% and a 76% operating margin.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@CarsonTalkMoney 95 of about 700 stocks pass 20%+ revenue growth and profitable. I believe the founder-led with net cash from that list are: $PLTR, $SHOP, $DASH, $DUOL, $TOST, $SE, $GRAB.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@MarcosMillaYT Average targets:
$NVDA +48%
$MSFT +7%
$AAPL +2%
$PLTR -8%
$CRWD -13%.

Ives isn’t just following the crowd here.
$PLTR and $CRWD are both priced above target right now.
$NVDA is the consensus pick.

Worth saving this list and checking it in a year.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@growthrapidly A 10x in five years puts $SPCX at $21T and $PLTR at $4.8T.

$AAOI is $8.8B and IREN is $12.6B today.

Only PLTR has positive free cash flow, and AAOI is already up 1,510% over the past five years.

@QualCompounders Noticed the $APP asymmetry earlier: down 62% from its high, at 17.6x this year’s earnings with a 76% operating margin.

On earnings quality it scores 89 out of 100 on our screen, free cash flow is 102% of net income, and none of the accounting red flags we access are tripped.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@enrichtrades $HPE hasn’t had a weekly close under its 20-week average since mid-March. It’s 38% above it now. $DELL is up about 290% in a year, HPE about 220%.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@FindleysFinance Here is $AMD next to $NVDA, $AVGO and $MU.

It trades at 80x this year’s earnings against 25x for Nvidia, on an 11% operating margin against 60%.

Analysts expect EPS to go from $7.64 this year to $23.40 in 2028, and their average target is $608, today’s price.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@StockSavvyShay Useful chart. Some context on where $RKLB stands today: $39.5B market value on $0.6B of revenue, with analysts expecting $2.7B of revenue by 2030 and the first annual profit in 2028. Side by side with $SPCX, Rocket Lab trades at 66x sales against 115x.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@LeifInvests The numbers check out. $APP is down 62% from its high, at 17.6x this year’s earnings with a 76% operating margin. On earnings quality it scores 89 out of 100 on our screen, free cash flow is 102% of net income, and none of the accounting red flags we access are tripped.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@cmsinvests Seeing the same thing here.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@unusual_whales After adjusting for those, $META insiders sold $13.1M outside a 10b5-1 plan in the past year, out of $256.9M total.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@unusual_whales Many comments mention planned sales. After adjusting for those, $PLTR insiders still sold $210M outside a 10b5-1 plan in the past year, out of $868.7M total.

[Sifter Finance @sifterfinance]

@DeepIceValue I agree...if they are quality, they will bounce back...
