"Palantir is a real business. It solves real problems, and it's showing real progress. But great companies don't automatically make great investments, especially after a big runup like it's had. Palantir doesn't need to become Nvidia to be successful. But today's price already assumes an Nvidiaike outcome. So the margin of error has gone away and it's gone completely. When Palantir was beaten down, the expectations were low. The market didn't believe in the story anymore. Didn't believe the profitability was near and didn't trust in management's execution. That created an opportunity for investors who are willing to look past the noise."
The speaker highlights that while Palantir shows strong business fundamentals and real progress, its current high valuation is predicated on an optimistic, Nvidia-like outcome. This leaves little margin for error, suggesting that investors should be cautious and carefully assess the price versus intrinsic value before investing.
"Because here's the uncomfortable truth that you have to know and understand. Smart money isn't always smart. Sometimes smart money is just doing what everything they can do to avoid looking dumb, making the easy choices, and simply following the crowd. Because who could possibly imagine getting fired for owning Nvidia in 2026, even if it fell 50% from here, everybody else owns it. And that's the lesson. When everyone agrees future returns usually aren't going to be as heroic as you would expect."
The speaker highlights the dangerous herd mentality in investing where both smart money and retail investors pile into the same stocks, leading to overhyped valuations. He warns that when consensus is high, future returns may be muted, urging investors to be contrarian and cautious of crowded trades.
"Now, the first factor which would very quickly crash the US stock market is actually something totally out of our control. And that is China going to war with Taiwan. And believe it or not, that conflict, which would be happening 7,800 miles away from the stock exchanges in New York, would likely have an immediate impact. Why? The US is very dependent on Taiwan for semiconductor chips. Now, I made a video on this recently, but one big problem the US is trying to desperately fix right now is that all of the world's most advanced chips, the ones that Nvidia is selling, the ones Apple is putting in their iPhones and their MacBooks, the ones powering the magnificent seven companies to new heights, well, all of these chips are made in Taiwan by one company called TSMC. And here's the thing, TSMC is the only company that can make the world's most advanced chips at scale."
The speaker outlines a macro risk where a potential conflict between China and Taiwan could trigger a market crash due to the US's heavy reliance on Taiwanese semiconductor production, especially by TSMC, which is critical for advanced chip manufacturing used by major tech companies.
"Sprouts Farmers Market has been an unexpected performer in my portfolio. After a run-up to 170 per share driven by strong earnings momentum in the health food segment, it fell back below 80 without a breakdown in fundamentals. My analysis shows a low price of 96, a high price of 220, and a middle price of 147. I'm taking a position on this stock using cash-secured puts at 80, anticipating that as the company's industry-leading margins and growth rebound, the share price will eventually reflect its true value."
Paul describes Sprouts Farmers Market as a surprising performer where short-term volatility creates a buying opportunity. By using cash-secured puts at 80 and his analysis which sets a low price at 96, he underscores the potential for a fundamental rebound and significant long-term upside.
"Nike is going through a temporary rough patch with inventory issues and headwinds in China, but its strong brand and multi-year turnaround plan make it a buy at the right price. I see a potential opportunity here, as my analysis indicates a low price of 50, a high price of 110, and a middle price of 75, while the stock is currently trading at 60. I believe that once the inventory is cleaned up and profitability improves, Nike's fundamentals will reassert their long-term dominance, making it an attractive buy for patient investors."
Paul acknowledges Nike's current challenges but underscores its strong brand and turnaround strategy. His analysis shows an attractive entry point at a low price of 50, suggesting that once operational issues resolve, Nike will deliver long-term value.
"Adobe remains one of the most stable cash-generating machines with strong recurring revenue and industry dominance in digital media. In my analysis, even though the stock is down from its all-time highs, the underlying fundamentals are solid. I hit the analyze button to determine a low price of 380, a high price of 820, and a middle price of 560. With steady revenue growth and expanding free cash flow, Adobe presents a compelling buying opportunity for those willing to invest in a durable technology leader that is also leveraging AI advancements."
Paul highlights Adobe's robust business model underpinned by recurring revenue and high margins. Despite a decline from previous highs, his analysis suggests that a buy is warranted at a low price of 380, making Adobe an attractive long-term play as it innovates with AI.
"Alibaba, our fourth stock, is one that I lost to covered calls but is now approaching my target entry price. I lost it around 140 per share and I'm hoping it falls back to that level to buy it back. Despite recent volatility, Alibaba is showing signs of a long-term rebound fueled by its massive AI push and operational streamlining. I remain patient, waiting for a better entry point where the fundamentals align with the price, allowing for significant upside over the coming years."
Paul discusses his experience with Alibaba, noting that he was forced out via covered calls and is now eyeing a re-entry at around 140. He cites the company's renewed focus on AI and operational improvements as catalysts for a long-term rebound.
"PayPal has been crushed over the last few years, yet its fundamentals remain strong with leadership in digital payments and robust free cash flow generation. In my 10-year analysis, I used growth assumptions of 4, 6, and 8% and found that despite the current trading price at 59, the discounted valuation yields a low price of 94, a high price of 215, and a middle price of 144. This significant discount to intrinsic value makes it an attractive turnaround play for long-term investors."
Paul argues that despite recent price declines, PayPal's strong market position and cash flow generation support a turnaround thesis. His analysis indicates a low valuation of 94 compared to its current price, making it an appealing long-term buying opportunity for value investors.
"Southwest Airlines isn't your typical airline. It delivered 47 straight years of profitability prior to COVID and is now showing a strong rebound with a 25% improvement in profit margins over the last quarter. I used my stock analyzer and found a low price of 62, a high price of 180, and a middle price of 110. Even with conservative estimates, this margin of safety makes it a compelling opportunity to buy, with potential for a significant return over the next decade."
Paul highlights Southwest Airlines' historical profitability and recent margin recovery. Using his analytical tool, he identifies an attractive entry point with a low price of 62, positioning the stock as a compelling long-term buy despite inherent airline industry challenges.
"Stock number one, Ulta Beauty. And for those of you who don't know, beauty is one of the most resilient areas of consumer spending. Even during economic slowdowns, people still spend on cosmetics, skincare, and self-care. And Ulta dominates that category. They have over 44 million loyalty members, driving repeat business, and giving them pricing power over their competitors. It is currently selling at 607 a share. I hit the analyze button and determined a low price of 418, high price of 750, and a middle price of 560, which makes it an attractive buy when priced below value."
Paul presents Ulta Beauty as a resilient consumer stock with strong loyalty metrics. He uses his proprietary stock analyzer to derive a valuation range and suggests buying if the share price drops near his low price of 418, emphasizing a long-term investment horizon based on solid fundamentals.
"Now, last up, Sprouts Farmers Market. This is a company I want to own forever, and despite being taken out of my portfolio previously, it's now pulled back over 50%. I initially bought it in the low 30s, and while the current price is around $80.50, the analysis shows a low price of 96, a high price of 220, and a middle price of 150. The potential for margin expansion, thanks to its private label and ongoing store expansion, makes this a very attractive long-term play."
The speaker presents Sprouts Farmers Market as a long-term buy, emphasizing a significant pullback in price and attractive DCF valuation. With current trading near $80 and a target analysis yielding a median price of 150, the narrative focuses on margin expansion and growth through store expansion.
"Stock number two, Nike. A few short years ago, Nike was trading over $180 per share, but now it's down below $60, almost a 70% drop from its all-time highs. Even with this steep decline, the fundamentals remain strong. I'm seeing clear value here, especially as the company focuses on a long-term comeback with improved margins and growth. My analysis shows the stock is currently at $57 with a low price of 50, a high price of 110, and a middle price of 75, implying a 12.5% return on a discounted cash flow basis."
The speaker outlines Nike as a compelling trade opportunity following a significant price decline. Using DCF analysis, the speaker identifies a current price of $57 and a middle target price of 75, indicating a potential 12.5% return along with a long-term recovery narrative.
"Stock number one, our first stock, Target. Now, Target's had a rough couple years from inventory problems to consumer pressure, political noise, and even theft issues. But underneath it all, it has real cash flow and loyal customers. I'm looking at it because despite being down 25% year-to-date and over 50% from its highs, the drop creates an opportunity. I'm currently analyzing it at $95 with a low price of 106, a high price of 250, and a middle price of 170. My middle assumption return is 17.5%."
The speaker highlights Target as an attractive trade opportunity despite recent price drops, basing the analysis on solid fundamentals, a recovery story, and a detailed DCF model that yields a middle price target of 170 with an estimated return of 17.5%.
"Now, let me show you what I'm talking about here because remember the way I'm using options here isn't about gambling. It's about a strategy to increase your returns. So, let's say I'm going to pick a date in the future. Let's say January 23rd and I want to buy Adobe at it's currently at 357. Well, I want to buy it at 3.40. Somebody's going to pay me 3.67 per share. No matter what, I get that money even if they get the shares or doesn't get the shares. And a month from now, if the stock is below 340, I get to buy the stock at 340, but I also got 370 along the way. So, I essentially bought it for 336."
The speaker outlines an options strategy using cash secured puts on Adobe (ADBE). The plan involves potentially acquiring Adobe shares at a lower price if the stock falls below 340, while collecting premium income at 3.67 per share. This actionable trade call is intended to generate a higher return on cash and mitigate risk, reflecting a bullish view on Adobe's fundamentals despite its current price.
"Stock number three, Oracle. Now guys, this is an AI name that should catch your attention. As many of you know, Oracle is one of the world's largest enterprise software and technology companies. Historically, it has been known for its database products and enterprise software. But over recent years, the company has transformed itself into a cloud and infrastructure provider with a focus on AI ready services that help enterprises run large-scale workloads. In its most recent quarter, Oracle reported strong revenue growth of 14% year-over-year. Guys, that's huge for a company this large. Cloud revenue alone was 33% and cloud infrastructure was up 66% as businesses increasingly adopt cloud and AI platforms."
The speaker discusses Oracle's evolution from a traditional enterprise software firm to a cloud and AI-focused powerhouse. Despite impressive revenue and cloud growth figures, there remains a level of apprehension about the company's high valuation and heavy capital expenditures, leaving its near-term outlook mixed.
"Stock number two, JD.com. Every time I hear JD.com, I think of JD Sports and it's not JD Sports. JD.com is in China. It's the third largest Chinese e-commerce platform by gross merchandise value. But here's my issue. Look at this enterprise value. My version is 73 billion. That's 30 billion in debt. And guys, their five-year average free cash flow is 3.7 billion. Their one-year free cash flow is about a billion dollars. I do like a couple things here. The revenue growth rates, 8% a year for the last three, 13 and a half for the last five, 23% for the last 10."
The speaker provides a detailed breakdown of JD.com's financials, highlighting the company's significant debt load alongside attractive free cash flow and revenue growth figures. Despite the regulatory and economic concerns specific to China, the commentary suggests that the stock's low price and growth metrics merit a closer look.
"Stock number one is probably going to make you guys chuckle just a bit. It's Crocs. Yes, those really awful but very practical shoes that a lot of men love to wear. People love to joke about them. But guess what? While people may be laughing, Crocs has quietly become one of the most profitable footwear brands in the world, boasting an industry-leading 59% gross margin. What does that mean? Every Croc they sell, almost 60% of it is profit for them."
The speaker highlights Crocs' impressive profitability despite its offbeat reputation, noting its high gross margin and strong free cash flow generation. The commentary implies that even a declining business can represent a good investment if acquired at the right price.
"Now, that company is PayPal. And guys, it's a stock I own. But remember, never buy a stock because anybody in the world, I don't care if it's a YouTuber or Warren Buffett, say to buy it. Your job, our job here is to teach you a process and your job is to apply the things you understand to companies you can understand. Now, PayPal is transitioning from a pure payments processor into a broader commerce and financial services platform, driving consistent, albeit not very exciting, revenue growth with digital payments, with Venmo, and with buy now pay later services contributing meaningfully to its volume and earnings. In addition, management has outlined a multi-year plan targeting accelerating transaction margins and earnings per share growth through 2027. In recent weeks, we've seen PayPal announce a strategic partnership with Open AI along with announcing its application for a US banking charter as they look to strengthen their reach and deepen their integration."
The speaker provides a detailed commentary on PayPal, highlighting its transition from a pure payments processor to a broader commerce and financial services platform. He emphasizes PayPal's steady revenue growth backed by digital payments, Venmo, and buy now pay later services, alongside a multi-year plan to accelerate transaction margins and EPS through 2027. Additionally, recent strategic moves, such as a partnership with Open AI and an application for a US banking charter, further bolster its long-term value proposition.
"The stock that I believe is a major problem right now. And guys, I've believed that for a while. This is the one that I think might actually lose you a lot of money if you bought it today."
The speaker issues a clear warning about Tesla by labeling it overvalued and a potential money-loser if bought at current prices. This actionable signal suggests that investors should avoid initiating or hold positions in Tesla due to its fundamental overvaluation and heavy reliance on its traditional car business.
"Uber is now a verb. When people need a ride, they say 'Uber it.' The company holds a massive 76% of the US ride hailing market and monthly active users have grown 17% while gross bookings are up over 20%. It is also building a strategic position in the self-driving race by partnering with companies like Whimo and Nvidia. Shares have risen from April lows at $64 to around $80 now, and a quick analysis shows a potential middle price target of 160 with a possible return of 18.5%. My recommendation is to do some more research on that."
Uber's commentary emphasizes its dominant market share, improving user engagement, and promising strategic partnerships, supported by an analysis that suggests an attractive potential return.
"DraftKings is an $18 billion business. They remain the market leader in online sports betting with strong user engagement, despite regulatory concerns and rising competition from prediction markets. NFL and NBA betting volumes are both up year-over-year and the company is improving its profitability with a surge in high margin parlay bets. Hit the analyze button and boom – the stock's currently $35 per share, with a low price of 25, a high of 143, and a middle price of 64. Analysts expect significant revenue growth over the next five years, potentially more than doubling your money if these trends hold."
The analysis of DraftKings centers on its market leadership, improving profitability, and a compelling, though cautionary, assessment of its valuation metrics for potential long-term growth.
"So, here is Marvel Technology again, $87 per share. But what's most important, guys, the market cap, $72.8 billion. This tells me if I bought every single share outstanding, how much I have to pay to own the whole company. And here's what I also like: an enterprise value of 77.6, meaning a $5 billion net debt, while they generated $1.6 billion in free cash flow last year – essentially, they could pay off that debt in three years. Now, more about Marvel: they're becoming a quiet force in the AI chip space, building custom AI accelerators used by giants like Microsoft and Amazon, with management guiding toward 10 billion in revenue by 2026."
Detailed commentary on Marvel Technology highlights its valuation metrics and growth potential in the AI chip market, though concerns about return on capital remain.
"Now, I'm going to add it to my watch list at 180. Now, I'm not saying I'm buying it at 180, but what I do is if it falls further, I want to be able to analyze it again and say, 'Okay, what's happened to those profit margin levels?'"
The speaker analyzes Amazon's evolving profit margins and growth potential, then outlines a plan to monitor the stock. He intends to add Amazon to his watch list at a target price of 180, suggesting this level could signal an attractive entry point if the price drops further.
"This is your chance to ride the wave. Buy the S&P 500 now. Buy it or miss it."
Tom Lee delivers an explicit trade call encouraging investors to buy the S&P 500 immediately. He frames this as a critical opportunity, arguing that waiting could mean missing out on the next major rally. His call is backed by his broader prediction of a continuing bull market driven by Fed rate cuts and robust economic growth.
"SCHD, the Schwab Dividend ETF. Now, SCHD has not been the hottest performer this year. So, yes, SCHD is lagging the S&P 500. There is no hiding that. SCHD, in my opinion, is built for long-term income and stability, not headlines and quick spikes. I don't jump in and out of investments. I don't trade SCHD because it lags this quarter. I don't panic sell when it doesn't outshine the S&P. That's not investing."
The speaker endorses SCHD as a steady, long-term investment for income and capital preservation. Emphasizing a disciplined, dollar-cost averaging approach, the commentary highlights that short-term underperformance should not deter investors looking for stability over decades.
"Okay, here's what I am worried about. 40 times earnings, guys. It's Walmart. Yeah, I know it's going to grow a lot, but it's 40 times earnings. Look at its profit margin. 10-year 2.45%, 5-year 2.38%, one year 3.26%. Guys, they make pennies on every dollar they sell. It's not a high margin business. I would rather wait until the stock is a lot lower to buy it at the right price."
The speaker expresses concern over Walmart's current valuation, emphasizing its 40x earnings and low profit margins despite growth prospects. He advises investors to be patient and wait for a lower entry price rather than overpaying for a fundamentally basic yet undervalued retail giant.
"Now, our final stock is one of my favorites, and it's on my list of 33 stocks that I want to own forever. Ferrari stock is down near its 52-week low – down 20% in the last year and 25% in the last 6 months. The stock's currently at 360. I hit the analyze button and got a low price of 180, a high price of 450, and a middle price of 290. I have my watch list at 250 per share. That entry price of 250 is my signal to buy when the stock drops to that level."
The analyst expresses strong long-term conviction in Ferrari, describing it as a dream business with a prestigious brand. Despite recent short-term price drops, the actionable takeaway is to watch for an opportunity to buy at 250 per share, which would offer a more favorable entry based on the analysis.
"Costco's been drifting lower, again, not because the business is broken, but because the expectations were just way too high. The stock is at a 52-week low and trading for 50 times earnings, which looks attractive at first. However, when I hit the analyze button, the numbers showed that if you buy at today's price, you'd essentially break even on a discounted cash flow basis. Bottom line is, despite being a great company, it's overpriced right now. So, guys, good news. Move on. Find something else."
The analyst acknowledges Costco's strong business model and steady performance but highlights that its current valuation leaves little margin for upside. The discounted cash flow analysis suggests that the return would be effectively zero, prompting a decision to avoid buying Costco at current prices.
"T-Mobile stock is in this doghouse right now. It's trading near its lowest price in a year, and not because it's a bad business. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense right away. Their debt levels and disappointing returns on capital make the numbers hard to justify. Automatically, I'm looking at this and thinking, this is kind of crappy. This is kind of ugly. So for me, I'm passing on this one and waiting a little bit longer."
The analyst reviews T-Mobile's situation, noting that despite revenue growth and customer gains, high debt and low returns on capital create red flags. The valuation and financial metrics are unsupportive, leading to a decision to pass on the stock for now.
"Tech stocks now make up about one-third of the entire S&P 500. And it gets even crazier when you zoom in on individual companies. Palunteer is trading over 443 times earnings. 443 times earnings, 126 times sales. Nvidia is over 54 times earnings. These are numbers that simply won't last over the next decade. I express concerns that such extreme valuation metrics indicate a market that may be unsustainable in the long run, warning investors to be cautious of hyped tech stocks despite their current momentum."
The speaker warns that tech stocks are reaching unsustainable valuation levels, highlighting that Palantir (interpreted from 'Palunteer') is trading at over 443 times earnings while Nvidia sits at over 54 times earnings. The commentary stresses that these extreme multiples may not hold over the next decade, urging investors to be cautious despite current market hype.
"Go look at Palantir right now. People say it to me all the time. I didn't buy it at $5. I said my buy price was five. I never bought it. It's at 200 now. And people are saying, 'Oh, he missed out on that.' Okay, guess what? I'm not worried about that because I feel like Palantir is somewhere along here. I don't know where, but it might be here."
The speaker warns investors against chasing Palantir when prices are high, emphasizing that he missed his target entry of $5 and urging a focus on proper valuation rather than hype.
"Target is one of the biggest retailers in the country, but its stock has been beaten down hard by inflation, tariff pressures, and tough competition from Amazon and Walmart. Despite a rough earnings report and softer sales, there is potential if the underlying fundamentals—like cash flow generation and brand strength—can drive a recovery. The idea is that if the current price reflects panic rather than fair value, then a deeper look could reveal a buying opportunity. We invest based on cash flow, valuation, and execution, not headline noise."
The speaker discusses Target's challenges amid current market headwinds, noting pressures from macro factors and competitive dynamics. He suggests that if the depressed stock price is driven by temporary fears rather than deteriorating fundamentals, it could represent a buying opportunity. The emphasis is on a careful, long-term evaluation of Target's cash flow and brand strength instead of knee-jerk reactions.
"Stock number two is a stock I had until recently, but it's getting interesting again. I have puts on it at about $80 a share. But let's say I want to add to that – if I go to the options chain and look to buy it for $75 in the next month, I'd get paid nearly 86 cents per share, which equates to a 33% cash return on my money. This is me being paid to wait for the stock to fall to my desired price. It's a clear signal that the fundamentals are solid despite the current 52-week low, making it a potential trade setup if the price aligns."
The speaker presents a trade call for Sprouts Farmers Market by emphasizing an options strategy. He is targeting an entry around $75, where selling puts provides a significant cash return, highlighting the company's solid fundamentals despite its depressed price. This approach is positioned as an opportunistic trade for investors looking for short-term, option-driven returns.
"Chipotle Mexican Grill. All right. When people hear that a stock like Chipotle is down, they may get nervous. It's something wrong with the business. But here's what I always say. Price and value are two different things. This company isn't just burritos and guacamole – it's one of the most successful fast casual brands in America, now planning to go global with expansion into South Korea, Singapore, and Mexico. They're investing in automation and digital ordering to drive profit margins higher. Even though it's near its 52-week low, the fundamentals remain solid for long-term investors."
The speaker emphasizes that Chipotle remains a strong premium business trading near its 52-week low. He highlights its global expansion, automation initiatives, and digital investments as catalysts that support its long-term intrinsic value. He advises investors to assess the price versus real value rather than reacting to short-term market volatility.
"Now, look, maybe you're not picking individual stocks yet. That's awesome. But that's where ETFs like SPY and QQQ come in. It gives you a piece of these big companies, all 500 biggest companies, and QQQ gives you the biggest names in tech. These ETFs are like the basket of the strongest businesses, and when the markets drop, the entire basket goes on sale. These companies are still solid companies, but you're just paying a lower price to own them. What could be better? Let's say QQQ drop 50%. Does that mean Apple and Microsoft suddenly become bad companies? Of course not. And that's when long-term investors should get excited."
The speaker advocates for taking advantage of market dips by buying ETFs like QQQ. He emphasizes that even if QQQ falls significantly, the underlying quality of its constituent companies remains strong, making it an attractive long-term buying opportunity through strategies like dollar cost averaging and disciplined investing.
"Now, let's shift gears to something that's definitely making noise. Good old Meta. This stock has caught our eye lately. Why? Because after their earnings report at the end of October, the stock dropped 16%. And whenever a great company takes that kind of hit for short-term reasons, you have to start sniffing around. Our committee members have it as a hold with the average intrinsic value of 712. I hit the analyze button. So, boom. I have a low price of 507, high price of $,250, middle price of 800, guys. At the current price, it seems interesting with a 12% return."
The analyst highlights Meta after its 16% drop post-earnings, noting strong fundamentals despite short-term concerns from increased capex, a one-time tax charge, and issues with Reality Labs. The analysis using a stock analyzer tool produced key price levels (507 as a low price target and 800 as a midpoint) and indicates a potential 12% return, suggesting that the current pullback may provide a buying opportunity for disciplined, long-term investors.
"Nvidia is selling for $200 a share. If you run the numbers and your numbers make the video value 60 bucks, why would you spend any more time? It's too far away. Just add it to your watch list and you'll get notified at whatever price you want to notify yourself at. I'm going to add it to my watch list, probably at $120 a share, and when it gets below, then I will re-evaluate."
The speaker outlines an actionable strategy for Nvidia by highlighting its current overvalued price and stating his plan to add the stock to his watch list at about $120 per share. He emphasizes waiting for a lower entry point to ensure a proper margin of safety before committing to a buy, aligning with his disciplined investment approach.
"Adobe's deep roots in creative software, marketing tools, and digital documents, along with its strategic push into the AI space, position it as a compelling long-term compounder. With consistent revenue growth, 30% bottom-line margins, and 90% gross margins, not to mention strong free cash flow driving significant share buybacks, the fundamentals are very attractive. I believe this is a strong buy for investors looking to take advantage of its sustainable competitive advantages."
The speaker presents Adobe as a robust growth opportunity due to its diversified product base and successful integration of AI. Strong margins and effective capital allocation through buybacks support a buy call, making it an appealing long-term investment.
"Costco is one of the best-run retailers in the world with loyal customers and consistent profits, but it's trading at a huge premium compared to its historical average. With a one-year price to free cash flow of 53 and a one-year PE of 51, the current price leaves almost no margin for error. Even a minor slowdown could result in negative returns over the next decade. For all its strengths, paying today's price doesn't make sense – that's why I believe it's time to sell or avoid buying at these levels."
The speaker acknowledges Costco's operational excellence but warns that the stock is overpriced relative to its historical valuation. The high multiples suggest that even small setbacks in growth could result in poor long-term returns, prompting a sell call.
"Now, you've heard the hype around Nvidia – the AI king with massive growth. But listen: one analyst, Jay Goldberg, has a sell rating because while the growth story is enticing, Nvidia's valuation is so extended that the 'what ifs' far outweigh the 'ifs.' If chip demand slows or AI spending falls short, you're left holding a stock priced for perfection. I say avoid the stock because its price no longer provides a margin of safety."
The speaker cites analyst Jay Goldberg's sell rating on Nvidia, warning that although the company has strong growth figures, its sky-high valuation leaves little room for error, making it a less attractive buy.
"First off, dollar cost average in lowcost ETFs. One of the simplest and most powerful strategies I know is this guys, I do it every month. I invest in my lowcost ETFs every single month. If I do it consistently, no matter what happens to the market, I will continue to match the market returns. I'm going to buy when stocks are up and I'm going to buy when they're down. And over the long haul, I'm going to pay this price for it. That's what's key. When you buy an ETF, you're buying a basket of companies. You get exposure into hundreds of businesses in one move. The ETFs that I buy the most of are spy, VO, CHD, and when the price makes sense, I will do QQQ. They're low cost. They're diversified and they work in the long run."
The speaker delivers an actionable trade call by urging investors to dollar cost average into low-cost ETFs, specifically highlighting SPY. The advice emphasizes steady, regular buying regardless of market fluctuations, thereby capturing market returns over the long run.
"So guys, based on today's current price, if my middle assumptions occur, I'm going to get a 5% return on my money based on a discounted cash flow. To me, that says, you just got to wait. I have my watch list at 700. I might want to increase that to 800. That doesn't mean I'm buying it then, but I just want to be notified. Now, let's say you disagree with me and you say, 'I actually love Netflix at this price.' There's something I want to encourage you to look at, an options chain. You can basically get paid to buy Netflix at a cheaper price in the future. So, let's pick a month from now, 125. What we're going to do is sell puts."
The speaker explains that while Netflix's 10-for-1 stock split is merely cosmetic and does not alter the company's intrinsic value, investors should not chase the lower post-split price at face value. Instead, he recommends waiting for a dip to target levels around 700 to 800, or alternatively, using an options strategy (selling puts) to effectively lower the entry price, thereby aligning with his valuation approach.
"Tom Lee has recently claimed that the real bull market hasn't even started yet. He is now predicting that the stock market will more than double in the next 5 years thanks to artificial intelligence. According to him, if you're not buying stocks right now, you're going to miss the biggest rally of your life. Nope, pile in. Time to buy. Don't miss out on the next boom."
Tom Lee delivers a strong trade call urging investors to enter the market immediately, citing an impending AI-fueled rally that could more than double market levels within the next five years. He emphasizes buying equities now, implying investments in broad market ETFs like SPY, to avoid missing out on the biggest rally of the investor's life.
"Now, I will say this, their CEO, Alex Karp, gives me the heeie-jeebies. That guy bothers me to no end. I\u0027m not going to lie when I say he alone would be a reason I wouldn\u0027t buy Palunteer and yes I do think it\u0027s important to understand that I think the guy is absolutely whackadoo and I think there\u0027s some questionable accounting things they\u0027re doing behind the scenes but the good news is their free cash flow is always higher than their net income which is hard thing to fabricate right now."
The speaker voices strong concerns about Palantir\u0027s management, particularly criticizing CEO Alex Karp as unpredictable and highlighting potential accounting issues. This commentary serves as a cautionary note about the company\u0027s valuation and management risks, even though certain strong fundamentals, like robust free cash flow, are acknowledged.
"And if you come to me and say, "Paul, you don\u0027t get it." if you come to me and say, "The same person who said it was a great buy at six, it\u0027s a great buy at 180, I\u0027m sorry, you just don\u0027t get it," I\u0027m going to add it to my watch list at $60 per share. That weight notifies me when it gets there. And you might be surprised how fast that might happen. And guess what? It might never happen."
The speaker explains that despite Palantir (PLTR) having impressive growth and hype, the current price of $180 is too high. He indicates a clear trade action by stating that he will only consider buying if the stock falls to $60 per share, essentially advising investors to wait for a more attractive entry point.
"Now, by the way, our current community has this as a buy rating with an intrinsic value average of $130 per share. Now, it's just a way of referencing it. The company's currently at $92 a share. We'll get into that very shortly."
The speaker highlights Uber as an undervalued stock with a community buy rating, noting its intrinsic value at $130 while it currently trades at $92. This actionable trade call is underscored by a detailed analysis of cash flow, profitability improvements, and market positioning.
"Let's take a look at an example. Like I talked about Nvidia. Nvidia is phenomenal, guys. One of the most amazing things about Nvidia is the market cap and the enterprise value are essentially the same. That means there's essentially zero debt on the company. That's the big reason why I picked Nvidia. It's going to be very difficult for Nvidia to go out of business. But like I said earlier in the video, you've got to ask questions. This is not some situation where Nvidia will always be the leader."
The speaker highlights Nvidia as an exceptional company due to its minimal debt and strong cash flow, emphasizing that its current dominance in the AI chip market is impressive. However, caution is advised as future competitive pressures might challenge its leadership, underscoring the importance of thorough valuation and realistic growth assumptions.
"Look at this price chart of Nvidia. Biggest company, biggest hype story right now. In the last one year, it's hit a high of 195 and a low of 86. Are you telling me a company that's worth $4.5 trillion and generates $70 billion in free cash flow, 165 billion in revenue, has really changed by over 50 60% in one year. Come on. That's the That's the voting machine working here. But in the long run, it's a weighing machine."
The speaker uses Nvidia as an example to illustrate that while the stock is extremely volatile in the short term, with dramatic price swings, the long-term performance is driven by fundamental strength. This commentary serves as a reminder for investors to focus on underlying business fundamentals rather than short-term market fluctuations.
"Stock number five is a very interesting one. Carvana went from near bankruptcy in 2022 to posting record revenue, with over $13 billion in revenue and 38 million in profit in Q2 2025. They improved operations by acquiring Adessa, which boosted efficiency, yet the company continues to dilute its shareholders. Analysts expect significant growth, projecting it could sell millions of cars in the coming years, but the current price already reflects these high expectations. If you're considering investing in Carvana, it's crucial to understand both its impressive turnaround and the inherent risks of a cyclical, high-risk industry."
The commentary on Carvana outlines its dramatic turnaround from near collapse to record revenue, while warning investors about ongoing share dilution and cyclical risks in the used car market. This serves as a cautionary perspective for those tempted by its growth story.
"Stock number four is Google. It's not just a search engine but a powerhouse behind YouTube and massive AI investments, spending $85 billion to build future infrastructure. Cloud revenue grew over 35% last year, and the company benefits from strong cash flow and a 3% dividend. However, heavy capital spending on AI and ongoing regulatory scrutiny add layers of uncertainty. Analysts have modeled a wide DCF range from a low of $170 to a high of $470 per share, reflecting both its entrenched market position and potential challenges."
The speaker reviews Google's robust fundamentals driven by diverse revenue streams and aggressive AI investments, while cautioning that regulatory issues and high spending could affect its margins. The commentary provides investors with balanced considerations for a long-term investment in a market leader.
"Stock number three is no stranger to wild swings when they report earnings. Tesla's actual results have been awful with revenue down and earnings missed in six of the last eight quarters. While there is long-term potential in areas like autonomy and energy, I feel like people are paying a huge price for a future that may never materialize. Over 90% of Tesla's revenue still comes from its car business, and the execution risks are mounting with missed delivery targets and repeated delays. This makes me very cautious about investing in Tesla at its current valuation."
The speaker expresses concern over Tesla as a trade call, stressing that despite its innovative potential, repeated earnings misses and high valuation suggest significant execution risks. This analysis serves as a bearish warning for investors eyeing Tesla.
"Stock number two is Meta. This is a company I do understand how they make money and how they can lose money. I was buying all the way down as it fell to $88 per share, and now the stock is at $730. Based on my DCF analysis, the numbers show a low price of $600, a high of $1,700, and a middle price of $1,000, representing a 13% return. If you're buying Meta today, you're betting on its ability to turn huge AI investments into even bigger profits."
The speaker outlines a trade idea for Meta, sharing personal experience of buying on dips and using DCF valuations to set a price range. The analysis underscores the company's solid fundamentals, massive user base, and significant AI investments as reasons to buy.
"United Health is still the leader in healthcare and dominates Medicare Advantage, even after higher-than-expected medical costs and management upheavals"
The speaker highlights United Health as a strong healthcare leader despite recent challenges, emphasizing Buffett's large buying activity and an analyst consensus of 20% upside. The commentary stresses that market fear can create value opportunities for patient, long-term investors.
"My favorite example in the world, and I\"ve loved this one for so long. Cisco system. Cisco was the Nvidia of 2000. It hit a high of $82 a share back in 2000 and has not hit that mark since. Guys, guess what? Revenue is up 4x and profits up 5x since that time. And here\"s what\"s interesting: from one point to another, the stock went up 10x and profit climbed about 10x. Is that coincidence? No."
The speaker uses Cisco as an illustration of how stock prices, over the long term, reflect fundamental value rather than short-term hype. Despite not reaching its previous high, Cisco\"s significant revenue and profit growth reaffirm its long-term value, supporting the idea that fundamentals eventually prevail over market noise.
"Now, keep in mind, guys, I buy large companies. I'm not looking to buy these small little companies that require me to really understand management. I want to buy big companies that are mispriced. Think Meta in 2022. I was a buyer of Meta from 150 all the way down. Actually, I think less than 200 all the way down to $88 a share. I bought it on its lowest day. And the entire time people were saying, "You don\"t get it, Paul. Meta\"s done. Zuckerberg needs to be fired." Those are the same people who are probably buying the company today at $760 a share."
The speaker shares his personal experience with buying Meta during a significant price decline, emphasizing that value investing means purchasing quality companies when mispriced. He contrasts the irrational market hype with disciplined investing decisions, noting that buying at a low price can yield long-term benefits as fundamentals drive value.
"But right now, the S&P is being taken over. It's being dominated by a handful of massive tech companies that are all racing to win the AI game. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Broadcom, Oracle, all of these companies are fighting for AI. These companies have gotten so big so fast that they now control a huge chunk of the index. In fact, guys, the tech sector now makes up over 35% of the whole S&P. So ask yourself this question. If your portfolio depends on nine companies all swimming in the same AI pool, is that really a safe and balanced investment?"
The speaker warns that the S&P 500 is becoming dangerously overconcentrated in a few massive tech companies focused on AI. He emphasizes that this overconcentration creates diversification risks, and if a few of these stocks falter, the entire index could be adversely affected.
"Now, stock number three. This is an interesting one. Copart, guys, not a sexy stock, no AI, no social media buzz, just salvage cars. But let me tell you, Copart might be one of the quietest beasts in the market with a massive global buyer base, exclusive relationships with major insurers, and proprietary technology that streamlines its auction process. With very little debt, strong profit margins comparable to top players, and consistent free cash flow growth, our analysis shows the stock is currently at 44 with a low price range of 15 to 20, a high of 45 to 50, and a middle range of 26 to 35, leading the community to label it as a hold."
The speaker examines Copart as a fundamentally strong company operating in the niche salvage auction market. Despite lacking flashy tech or media buzz, its dominant market position, low debt, and robust margins support the current 'hold' stance. The analysis focuses on its valuation multiples and growth trends, indicating it remains a solid long-term player even if it isn\'t an outright buy at present.
"Stock number two, Sprouts Farmers Market. A company I used to own, got the shares, luckily taken away from me at 165. The stock is now down to 106. Now, grocery stores are a low margin business, but this company focuses on natural and organic food, one of the fastest growing food trends in America. Analysts are bullish on this one with price targets ranging from 170 to 190, and if you pay the current price of 106, the numbers point to a 13% discounted cash flow IRR."
The analyst presents Sprouts Farmers Market as a compelling value opportunity despite the traditionally low-margin nature of grocery businesses. Emphasis is placed on its focus on natural and organic foods, expansive growth potential in new regions, and attractive valuation metrics that support a strong discounted cash flow return.
"Alibaba, everybody was anti-China for the longest time. Chinas awful. Chinas terrible. I look at it going, China loves money. They love their middle class growing and becoming rich. And their rich love being richer. Yeah, theyre communists, but I just look at it going 20, 30 years down the road, will China be more free and wealthier than it is today? Yes, I think they will. So, the question becomes, is Alibaba going to benefit from that? Yes, they will. So, can I pay a reasonable price for Alibaba? Well, Alibaba is the biggest gainer out of all these companies this year. It is up huge. So, that has changed whether its a good investment or not. We will take a look at that at some point."
The speaker provides a contrarian view on Alibaba, countering longstanding negative sentiment towards China by emphasizing the nations growing wealth and consumer class. He suggests that Alibaba, having been the biggest gainer of the year, may benefit in the long run if its price is reasonable.
"Nvidia, guys, Nvidia is incredible. This companys absolutely skyrocketed. And not only has their price skyrocketed, their value has skyrocketed. If youre on the AI train, this is the company you have to at least consider whether even if its overvalued. You have to at least look at it and say, whats the real value here? The downside for Nvidia is well, its shot up a lot in revenue and profit. Is that sustainable? Thats the real question."
The speaker praises Nvidias rapid price and value growth, highlighting its central role in the AI surge. However, he also raises concerns about whether the massive revenue and profit increases are sustainable, advising investors to evaluate the true underlying value.
"Now, I hit the analyze button on Southwest. Click below. This is why Im interested in this company. I have a low price of 55, high price of 160, middle price of 100. Huge potential returns if they can run the numbers above. Even if they dont, even if they hit the low numbers, Im still going to make potentially 18% return on my money based on today."
The speaker outlines an actionable trade call for Southwest Airlines, basing the decision on valuation metrics with a target range of $55 to $160 and a middle target of $100, suggesting an anticipated 18% return even at the conservative estimate.
"I am actually going to put Adobe on my watch list because if it can get above 375 a share then it can go for a pretty nice run to like 420 and maybe beyond."
Adobe is highlighted as a strong long-term investment due to its dominant subscription model, high gross margin, and the integration of its generative AI tool, Firefly, into its Creative Cloud offerings. The speaker underscores Adobe's robust free cash flow growth and the potential upside if the current technical support levels hold, even as the chart currently challenges investors. While acknowledging competitive pressures from emerging platforms, the overall fundamentals and AI catalyst offer an attractive trade setup.
"If you think Target's gonna be around for a long time, I think you should take a look. Not a quick flip, but a solid investment in a company that is reinventing its stores and leveraging exclusive private label brands."
The speaker outlines Target's transformation strategy including converting stores into multi-purpose hubs, rolling out smaller format stores in urban areas, and leveraging exclusive private labels. The commentary stresses that although the stock has been beaten down and faces headwinds such as competition and rising costs, the strong base support and long-term turnaround play make it a worthy trade candidate for long-term value investors.
"I have a list of great companies that I plan on buying before October ends, but only if they hit the value that I need them to hit. When the price makes sense, I purchase because a great company at the wrong price can become a terrible investment."
The speaker explains why PayPal is an attractive investment due to its shift from a basic payment button to a digital payments ecosystem with recurring revenue from Venmo, buy-now-pay-later, crypto, and even ad-platform initiatives. Despite its current depressed price, the fundamental metrics such as free cash flow and return on capital remain strong. The trade call is conditional on the stock reaching the right value, with support around $50 and a potential run if volume increases.
"Big Bear AI's core strength right now is its position in defense and government contracting ... but the concerns are real. Execution risks, flat revenue trends over the past few years, and significant dilution from increased shares all pose red flags."
The speaker elaborates on the business fundamentals of Big Bear AI, noting that while the company shows promise with key government contracts (including a $165 million US Army deal, $13 million with the DOD, and a $380 million contract backlog), there are noteworthy risks. These include a history of stagnant revenue growth, ongoing dilution (shares increasing from 100 million to 320 million), and stiff competition from larger industry players. The commentary is meant to prompt a deeper analysis of the underlying financials before chasing hype.
"If you miss Palantir, buy this stock now. So, let's talk about Big Bear AI. The ticker symbol is BB AI. It's a smaller, lesser-known company that analysts are watching very closely in the AI and defense space. … Big Bear AI's core strength right now is its position in defense and government contracting, a lot like Palantir was. But despite being a relatively small company, it landed some serious deals. We're talking about a $165 million contract with the U.S. Army, a $13 million agreement with Department of Defense, and a five-year deal with the NSA. Those are major multi-year relationships that give Big Bear a seat at the big table. And with an overall contract backlog of $380 million as of a few months ago, there's a lot of locked-in business that can turn into real revenue over the next few years, assuming the company is able to execute."
The speaker issues a direct trade call urging investors to consider buying Big Bear AI (BB AI) as a potential opportunity to replicate Palantir's explosive gains. The rationale is supported by the company's major government contracts, a significant backlog, diversified expansion into commercial biometrics, and a new leadership team with deep government ties. Despite acknowledging risks like dilution and historical flat revenue growth, the call emphasizes the potential for multi-fold returns if fundamentals improve.
"If Nvidia's trading at 30 times or 40 or 50 times earnings, what kind of growth do you need to justify that? If you pay too much for that growth, your future returns get crushed."
The speaker offers company-specific commentary on the dangers of paying a premium for growth as illustrated by Nvidia's high earnings multiples. He emphasizes that overpaying erodes future returns and underscores the importance of buying companies at fair valuations.
