The YouTuber likes Broadcom for the long term as an AI supply chain stock, but warns that its high valuation (30 times price to sales) and high expectations for its upcoming earnings report could lead to a sell-off. He advises buying any significant dips for long-term upside, as investors are currently punishing companies that don't raise their outlook.

“I still like AVGO for a long-term stock. But the problem we've been seeing in this market is an earnings beat is just isn't good enough for investors. Any company not raising its outlook is getting hit and shares of Broadcom are already expensive.” — ▶ 10:00

While Broadcom is a key player in AI networking hardware and software, the analyst advises caution due to its high valuation. Trading at 31 times price-to-sales, it is significantly more expensive than its historical averages and other AI stocks, suggesting investors should wait for a better entry price despite its strong growth prospects.

“Here in the valuation though, we see the most expensive stock in the seven stocks in the AI theme here. 31 times price to sales. So this is probably the one that I would I would wait for a better price to come down on.” — ▶ 27:00

The YouTuber suggests that any dip in Broadcom should be welcomed as a buying opportunity.

He expects its 22% growth this year to be confirmed by other AI companies' earnings and anticipates further upside if management confirms next year's 32% sales growth forecast.

“First up is Broadcom. Took her ABGO, down 3% in the sell-off last week. And while it's still far from a value stock, few other companies besides maybe Nvidia make as much that goes into an AI data center.” — ▶ 4:50

The YouTuber recommends buying Broadcom due to its central role in AI infrastructure, providing essential networking components like Ethernet switches and AI accelerator chips. He expects its revenue growth to accelerate beyond current estimates, driven by massive AI data center buildouts, which will support the stock price.

“Nobody puts as much into a data center as Broadcom, ticker, AVGO. Now the company has positioned itself at the center of the AI infrastructure buildout.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber expresses concern about Broadcom into its earnings report, similar to HPE, due to recent weak data center spending news from peers. Despite Broadcom's expected 20% revenue growth, investor expectations are very high, and the stock trades at a significant premium. This sets it up for potential disappointment and a drop, even if it remains a good long-term investment.

“Broadcom is my favorite all-around data center stock. But after Marll, Nvidia, and Dell reported disappointing topline revenue and outlooks, it's clear that data center growth just isn't meeting expectations.” — ▶ 16:55

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom, highlighting its growth advantage in tech, networking, AI infrastructure, and custom chips. He emphasizes its industry-wide adoption in AI data centers, dominance in custom silicon, and strategic acquisitions like VMware and Juniper Networks.

“Instead though I'm buying shares of Broadcom to ABGO already up 96% in a year but with that growth advantage Intel used to have.” — ▶ 13:00

Hogue plans to buy more Broadcom shares after its September 3rd earnings report, anticipating that data center investment, particularly in networking infrastructure, will drive growth. He views Broadcom as one of the best all-around data center stocks due to its diverse offerings, including accelerator chips, positioning it well for the expanding global data center networking market.

“And I would be picking up more shares of Broadcom Avgs report September 3rd as it looks like the data center money is now flowing into that networking theme that I've been talking about... Of the three stocks here, ANET and ALAB are those pure play companies in that networking theme, while Broadcom has accelerator chips and other segments that makes it one of the best all-around data center stocks you can buy.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom as a key AI infrastructure play, noting that Wall Street hasn't fully connected the dots between Oracle's increased capital spending for data centers and the companies that will benefit. He expects these companies to see a spike in revenue as more data centers are built.

“But these are the very companies that are going to see revenue spike as more data centers go up. There are others in that data center buildout theme. I also like Huelet Packard Enterprise ticker HBE, but it's in those three names, ABGO, SMCI, and AET that I'm going to be buying the most.” — ▶ Watch clip

The analyst views Broadcom as his second favorite play in the AI theme due to its products being integral to AI infrastructure. However, he is hoping for a better price as the stock currently trades at 21 times price-to-sales, above its 17 times valuation over the past year.

“Hoping for a better price on this one as well.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is buying Broadcom for long-term growth, seeing it as a key player in the AI data center buildout theme. He maintains a price target of $34 per share, representing a 64% upside, and views the recent market dip as an opportunity to increase holdings for supernormal returns over the next three years.

“My price targets remain the same on these to $34 a share for Broadcom. AVGO, which would be up 64% from here.” — ▶ Watch clip

The analyst suggests Broadcom as a strong tech stock despite the sector's premium valuation, citing its potential to become a $1.4 trillion company. This is based on the attractive earnings growth within the technology sector.

“I highlighted five stocks from the tech sector in Wednesday's video. Five stocks that could make millionaires in the bounce from this market crash. Names like Broadcom, ticker AVGO, which could become a $1.4 trillion company to my price target.” — ▶ 6:50

The YouTuber is buying Broadcom now and on any earnings dip, citing a 21% discount to its average price-to-sales valuation over the last year and a forecast of 17% annual sales growth. He believes the company is well-positioned to benefit from the long-term growth in AI data center infrastructure spending, with a potential target price of $300 per share.

“But there are two reasons why I'm buying now and on any earnings dip. first is because we're already getting a great deal on a strong growth stock.” — ▶ 10:00

Joseph Hogue recommends Broadcom due to its dominant position in the data center buildout theme, benefiting from the entire hardware and software stack. He notes its strong presence in networking, data storage, and custom silicon for AI workloads, expecting continued growth despite a high price-to-sales valuation.

“Broadcom is going to benefit from the entire stack of hardware and software in that buildout.” — ▶ 6:00

Despite a projected slowdown in revenue growth to 16% next year, its dominance in data center infrastructure supports its valuation at 14.6 times price-to-sales, which is considered a good deal.

“Broadcom Inc. to ticker AVGO, now down 19% from its January high. And again, while I've highlighted that networking equipment theme as the major bottleneck in the AI data center buildout, Broadcom is the best all-around AI play here.” — ▶ 9:00

The YouTuber suggests Broadcom as a key player in the entire data center ecosystem, benefiting from Amazon's extensive spending on AWS infrastructure. Broadcom's dominance in networking, data storage, custom silicon for AI, and hardware-based security makes it integral to hyperscale data center operations. Despite its high valuation, its consistent growth and critical role in AI infrastructure justify the investment.

“Not only does broadcom dominate in that networking theme with its ethernet switches and network processors the company supplies data storage solutions with its raid and tri mode controllers its A6 and custom silicon support hyperscale Ai workloads and a hardware-based security is available through its TPM chips.” — ▶ 14:50

The YouTuber would buy Broadcom on any dip, despite its current high valuation (18x price-to-sales). He expects management to beat earnings expectations (22% sales growth, 37% profit jump) but potentially manage future expectations. He sees Broadcom as best exposed to the overall data center build-out, touching many components, making it a strong play on hyperscaler spending.

“I would be a buyer of any dip here though as broadcom Remains the best exposed to that all-around data center buildup while I do like smci on the theme for its pure play in server demand broadcom touches so many of the data center components that it's can't help but get a big chunk of that hyperscaler spending this year.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom for its leadership in data center infrastructure, providing a full stack of solutions from switching to custom silicon. He highlights its strong position in the growing AI data center market, with an expected 18% revenue growth this year. Despite a high price-to-sales ratio, its market dominance justifies the valuation.

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom for its efficiency in networking chips and protocols, providing a full stack solution for AI workloads with superior performance compared to competitors. Despite a high valuation of 21x price-to-sales, its industry adoption, dominance in custom silicon, and continued revenue growth (23% annual pace) make it a key player in the AI theme.

“Broadcom already has the kind of industrywide adoption with 60,000 plus AI cluster nodes running its Hardware the company's dominance and custom silicon switching and connectivity makes it makes it the backbone of AI focused data centers.” — ▶ 8:00

The analyst likes Broadcom for its leadership in AI-focused storage solutions, particularly its SAN products, and its strong growth expectations. However, due to its high valuation at 20 times revenue and 17 times price-to-sales, the recommendation is to wait for a price pullback before accumulating shares.

“I do like the company's leadership in several core data center components but I might wait for the shares to come down a little bit to add this one” — ▶ 9:30

The YouTuber highlights Broadcom as a player in both storage and networking for data centers. Specifically, its Brocade solution offers high-performance storage area networks, which are ideal for AI due to high-speed connectivity and low latency.

“broadcom tier avgo with its high performance storage area network solution brocade along with pure storage pstg and net apppp tier inap specializing in that AI ready storage through its E-Series next networking equipment allows the connectivity and the data flow between storage and service and could be the next big bottleneck in that AI theme.” — ▶ 4:40

The YouTuber acknowledges Broadcom's strong position in enterprise software and AI networking, with expected high earnings and revenue growth. However, he notes the stock is expensive at 137 times P/E and 17 times sales, suggesting investors should hold some cash to buy on dips rather than initiating a full position at current levels.

“as much as I love the company's position and future like most stocks right now it is not cheap Shares are trading for 137 times on that price to earnings basis and almost 17 times sales so it is going to need to show those strong growth forecasts to continue to hold up that price the stock is up 96% this year and the momentum is still to the upside but I'd hold some money back just to buy on any dips” — ▶ 22:00

The YouTuber identifies Broadcom as having a significant red flag due to its high goodwill, which accounts for nearly 70% of its total assets. This indicates that a large portion of the company's value is tied to intangible premiums paid for acquisitions, posing a risk if these acquisitions do not perform as expected. While acknowledging the potential for the VMware acquisition, the high goodwill is presented as a warning sign for investors.

“If we look at the balance sheet we see Goodwill at $50 billion against total assets of just 73 billion this immeasurable value is nearly 70% of the company's total assets.” — ▶ 6:00

The analyst suggests buying Broadcom if its stock price drops after its upcoming earnings report. He views the planned acquisition of VMware as a strong positive, boosting Broadcom's already robust business and making it an 'unstoppable' force in the enterprise market, despite its current high valuation.

“if it does though I would take advantage of that and buy up shares of broadcom ticker avgo revenue is expected to be up 20 this year so that kind of justifies that seven times price to sales basis it is a growth stock.” — ▶ 26:00

The analyst is bullish on Broadcom due to its broad leadership in tech, benefiting from trends like robotics and 5G. While sales growth has lagged slightly, its operating margin is significantly higher than the industry average. The upcoming acquisition of VMware is expected to boost earnings and fill a key gap in its business.

“Broadcom management believes it can nearly double VMware earnings to eight and a half billion dollars over the next three years of closing Analysts think the VMware acquisition can help take shares of broadcom up to targets of 675 dollars over the next year more than 45 percent from where it trades now.” — ▶ 07:30

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom, a technology stock with a strong dividend yield, due to its leadership in semiconductors and infrastructure, robust revenue growth despite supply chain issues, and consistent dividend increases. The acquisition of VMware is expected to significantly boost revenue and expand its cloud leadership, with management committed to continued dividend growth.

The YouTuber is holding Alibaba, noting it has come down from its previous run. While acknowledging it's no longer cheap or expensive, they see it as a good long-term bet on its AI model, but also recognize increased risks as a Chinese company. They are not adding to their position.

“This one is no longer cheap or expensive here but can still be a good long-term bet on its AI model but there are also more risks now as a Chinese company I'm not adding any more to my position.” — ▶ 24:20

The YouTuber is holding his existing position in Alibaba, citing its e-commerce leadership, progress in AI, and previously low valuation. While it's no longer in deep value territory, he believes it's still a long-term hold, though he is not adding to his position due to concerns about China's economic recovery.

“I'm not adding to my position here I think you still can for that long-term holding but would consider selling call options against it at $130 strike price so offsetting that price by almost $12 and still having that upside to 130 over the next year” — ▶ 10:40

The analyst is bullish on Alibaba for the short term, citing its upcoming primary listing on the Hong Kong exchange, which could attract up to $20 billion in inflows from mainland Chinese investors. This, combined with its cheap valuation and 8% revenue growth, makes it attractive, though a 'sell the news' event is possible after the listing.

“The company is likely to get its primary listing on the Hong Kong exchange next month which will open it up for investment from Mainland Chinese investors in what could be as much as $20 billion in inflows into the shares besides that cheap valuation and 8% Revenue growth this year I think this is why we see a lot of hedge funds like Michael bur and David terer buying up the stock in anticipation of that stock running higher heading into that dual listing.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber is bullish on Alibaba ahead of its earnings report, expecting management to raise its revenue outlook and confirm recent positive news. He cites the company's strong AI model integration, growth in global e-commerce, and potential new software service charges for merchants, noting the stock is still cheap at 1.5 times sales.

“Now I expect management to raise its Revenue outlook on Thursday earnings and confirm some of that recent news.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber believes Alibaba has more upside as value is unlocked from segment spin-offs and AI development, despite recent price bumps. The stock is trading at a deep discount on historical price multiples, with a projected PE ratio of around nine times based on estimated earnings of $9 per share and $130 billion in sales this year. The company's buyback program is taking nearly 2.5% of shares outstanding every quarter, or about 10% annually.

“Alibaba ticker Baba which bought back almost $5 billion of its shares in just the last 3 months alone on a recent bump in price Alibaba has become one of the largest stocks in my portfolio but should have more upside as value gets unlocked from segment spin-offs and AI development.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends Alibaba as a deep value play, despite his usual caution with Chinese stocks. He notes its significant discount to historical and peer valuations, its dominant position in Chinese e-commerce, cloud, and payments, and the potential for value unlocking through asset spin-offs. Michael Burry's increased stake is also cited as a positive.

“Alibaba group Holdings tooker Baba isn't down as much as the other on the list only down 15% over the last year but this is still one with a deep discount the largest e-commerce company in China trades for about 1.4 times at sales a discount of 36% on the 2.2 times valuation at the end of last year” — ▶ 20:30

The YouTuber suggests Alibaba as a potential growth contender in AI, highlighting its Qwen 72B model's strong performance. Despite past challenges in China, the stock is considered undervalued at 8.3 times P/E, an 83% discount to Amazon, making it attractive for a rebound with any positive news, such as further AI model rollout.

“a slowing growth in China and a 2022 Crackdown on tech companies have hobbled shares of Alibaba but the stock is now deep into value territory.” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber recommends buying Alibaba (BABA) as an undervalued short-term investment, trading at a significant discount to its historical PE and Amazon. He believes the upcoming earnings report on May 16th could be a catalyst, especially with aggressive cloud pricing and AI model advancements potentially boosting revenue.

“Alibaba group took her Baba at $70 a share Alibaba trades for just eight times this year's expected earnings and for a price to revenue of just 1.4 times that is a 27% discount to its own PE ratio just last year and an 82% discount to the valuation investors are paying right now for shares of Amazon at 43 times this year's expected earnings.” — ▶ 12:00

The analyst suggests buying Alibaba as it appears to be in support territory around $71 a share after a recent drop. The stock could rebound to $75 or higher before earnings. While aggressive cloud services pricing might impact profits, it is expected to boost top-line revenue growth.

“this appears to be support territory around $71 each and the stock could find its way back up to 75 and higher leading up to the earnings in a month” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber believes Alibaba is one of the best buys in the market, citing its low forward P/E ratio of just eight times. It is currently the largest position in his portfolio, suggesting strong conviction in its value.

“At a Ford PE ratio of just eight times I think Alibaba ticker Baba is one of the Best Buys in the market is the largest position in my portfolio” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is buying Alibaba, considering it their best investment for the next few years due to its extreme undervaluation. Despite past struggles from government crackdowns and economic slowdowns, the company is growing revenue at over 8% and trades at a ridiculously cheap eight times price-to-earnings. They highlight the significant hidden value and note that value investors like Michael Burry have also increased their stake.

“There is a tremendous amount of value hidden in these shares at around eight times on a price to earnings basis it is ridiculously cheap for a company growing Revenue at 8% plus a year.” — ▶ 18:00

The analyst holds a significant position in Alibaba, betting on a turnaround in the extremely negative sentiment surrounding Chinese stocks and the economy. He highlights the stock's low valuation at 8.3 times price-to-earnings as 'ridiculously cheap' for the company.

“I also have a big position in Alibaba myself with over 130 call options it's about 13,000 shares at a $70 strike price the stock is trading for just 8.3 times on a price to earnings basis which is ridiculously cheap for this company” — ▶ 8:00

The analyst is confident in Alibaba due to its strong free cash flow generation, significant share buybacks, and expected 10% revenue growth despite a slowdown. He believes the stock is undervalued at 7.8 times earnings compared to Amazon's 48x PE. Potential catalysts include the sale of non-core businesses, spin-offs of logistics, cloud, and Ant Financial, and a potential upside surprise in cloud revenue due to AI testing, similar to recent reports from Amazon and Microsoft.

“Baba is probably the one I feel the most confident about and we could get some very big news when earnings are reported this Wednesday.” — ▶ Watch clip

The analyst believes Alibaba and other Chinese stocks have reached 'peak fear,' making them strong investment opportunities for the next few years. This suggests a contrarian view that the worst is over for these assets.

“I love the pullback in Sofi Technologies ticker Sofi as a way to buy more shares and I think we've reached Peak fear in shares of Alibaba ticker baaba and a lot of those other Chinese stocks they're going to make it a strong investment over the next few years” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber continues to hold Alibaba, noting that Chinese stocks are flashing strong buy signals due to a historically wide gap between their earnings yield and the 10-year treasury. He also points to increasing government stimulus and the potential for investors to rush back into these shares with any sign of an economic rebound.

“I continue to hold Alibaba ticker Baba as well as the CSI China internet ETF” — ▶ 13:40

The YouTuber is watching Alibaba ahead of its earnings, noting its low P/E ratio of 9.1x despite 10% annual sales growth. He expects a boost from its breakup into six different companies and anticipates Chinese fiscal and monetary stimulus measures will ignite further growth.

“Alibaba group ticker Baba also going to be reporting its earnings Thursday with the market expecting just a 10% rise in its earnings to $212 per share for the quarter F year earnings are expected around $98 a share meaning the Chinese e-commerce leader is trading for just 9.1 times on a price to earnings basis this is a stock growing it sales by 10% a year is uh breaking up into six different stocks so it's going to have some strong investor sentiment Boost from that as investors look forward to getting those six different stocks out of one.” — ▶ 22:00

The YouTuber recommends Alibaba due to its significant valuation discount compared to Amazon, despite having a similar business model and higher expected sales growth. He also sees strong near-term catalysts from its breakup into six different companies, with a conservative price target of $120 and potential to reach $150.

“I have a conservative $120 price target for Baba over the next year but believe it could go as high as $150 a share while it doesn't have the iPhone brand behind it.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber believes Alibaba will reach $120+ per share over the next year, citing an improved outlook for the Chinese e-commerce leader due to economic recovery and upcoming catalysts. These catalysts include the restructuring of its Ant Financial subsidiary for a Hong Kong IPO and the planned split into six companies, with an IPO expected for its logistics unit.

“I still believe we'll see 120 plus per share over the next year in this stock” — ▶ 24:40

The YouTuber identifies Alibaba as a value play with a low P/E of 11x and a PEG ratio of 1.1x, close to his target of 1.0x for growth stocks. He expects general Chinese consumption to increase, and highlights the company's AI product development and upcoming segment spin-offs as potential catalysts for investor sentiment.

“now that already puts them in value territory with a p e ratio of just 11 times earnings but with a 10 plus expected earnings growth over the next two years that brings the PG ratio down to just 1.1 times.” — ▶ 11:05

Joseph Hogue considers Alibaba Group Holdings a strong buy, despite potential short-term volatility, due to its plan to split into six independent companies. He believes this restructuring will unlock significant value, with shares potentially reaching at least $130 each over the next year, as each segment may pursue its own IPO.

“Alibaba group Holdings ticker Baba may give back some of last week's 19 jump over the next week or two or you see it did fall to one percent last Friday but it is still a strong Buy on the news that it's going to plan to split into six companies I highlighted the valuation on this in a video last week I'll link to that in the description below it and I really like the shares up to at least 130 each over the next year.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber argues that Alibaba is significantly undervalued due to a 'conglomerate discount' and that its planned six-way split will unlock substantial value. By performing a sum-of-parts valuation, comparing each new segment to pure-play competitors, he estimates the combined value of the independent companies to be 21% higher than Alibaba's current market capitalization, leading to a target price of $112 per share based on current valuations. He also expects further growth from China's economic reopening.

“I already own the stock and why my price Target just went up 20 on this news so excited about this... I'm going to show you why it should be worth even more than that.” — ▶ 00:30

The YouTuber identifies Alibaba as his only Chinese stock holding and one he would consider touching, despite geopolitical tensions. He highlights its attractive valuation at 2.1 times sales, its significant rebound from October lows, and the fact that even 'perma-bear' Michael Burry is buying shares, suggesting a strong value proposition.

“It's still up 57% from the October low and and trading for a pretty attractive 2.1 time sale. So this stock is relatively cheap uh you know against its history.” — ▶ 15:50

The analyst owns Alibaba and believes the China reopening story could drive the stock higher. Despite an 87% run, it remains attractively priced and below long-term valuations. The cooling regulatory environment and potential IPO of Ant Financial could significantly boost shares.

“I own the stock I I've got the stock at least up into up to 150 or 175 over the next year” — ▶ 11:58

The analyst views Alibaba as a 'lottery ticket' investment due to its extremely low valuation (10.5x P/E, 1.75x sales) compared to historical averages and peers like Amazon, suggesting significant upside potential if delisting risks are mitigated. Despite regulatory headwinds and increased competition impacting profitability, the company maintains strong market dominance in China, high customer retention, and a robust balance sheet with substantial cash reserves. The primary risk is potential delisting from US exchanges, which could lead to a significant price drop, but the analyst believes the potential reward outweighs this risk given the current valuation.

“for me though as an investor the valuation has just gotten so ridiculously cheap that this risk is worth it with a three-year price prediction upwards of four hundred dollars for alibaba stock I can take a little more risk for that kind of return and actually did pick up a hundred shares last week for just under nine thousand dollars in my own portfolio” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber suggests Alibaba as a high-risk, high-reward opportunity, noting its 62% drop from its peak due to Chinese government intervention and delisting risks. Despite the risks, he considers it a great company with an e-commerce advantage, currently trading at a steep discount, offering potential for significant returns on a rebound.

“shares of alibaba ticker b-a-b-a are down 62 percent from its peak last year it's a great company with an advantage in e-commerce and trading at a steep discount but the risk is there to more losses so here china is really a case study and those risks to emerging market stocks the risk of government interference or those geopolitical issues between two countries hit the stocks for investors willing to take the risk though you can get some great returns on a rebound” — ▶ 4:40

The YouTuber argues that Alibaba is currently too cheap to ignore, trading at a significant discount compared to Amazon despite higher revenue growth. He believes the near-term fear regarding delisting is overdone and sees a trading opportunity for a short-term rebound, with a potential long-term upside even if it moves to OTC markets.

“7.7 drop in shares of Alibaba today I think I will pick up shares here it is just too cheap to ignore” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber considers Alibaba a buy, noting its extensive user base and significant share of China's retail sales, with strong revenue growth. The stock is valued cheaply at 3.3 times price-to-sales and 15.8 times earnings, especially when compared to Amazon's similar business model. While acknowledging risks from Chinese government crackdowns, the valuation presents a compelling opportunity.

“now that puts the stock at just 3.3 times on a price to sales basis and 15.8 times earnings and compare that to amazon which is an almost identical business model that trades for 3.9 times sales and 58 times earnings and you can see how cheap the shares really are here” — ▶ 18:40

The YouTuber identifies ServiceNow as an 'undiscovered opportunity' in AI orchestration, where its agent orchestrator and Control Tower manage specialized AI agents to reduce costs and prevent runaway AI usage. He notes the stock has been unfairly punished by fears of AI replacing its software business and is still buying after recommending it below $100.

“Service Now, ticker, solves a different part of this problem and is my favorite undiscovered opportunity here. I recommended buying the stock when it plunged below $100 last month, and I'm still buying.” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber recommends buying ServiceNow, noting its 18% plunge on earnings was due to delayed, not lost, Middle East deals, which are expected to become a tailwind. The stock is still down significantly from its peak, offering a buying opportunity. Its strong projected revenue growth (20%) and integration of AI and cybersecurity make it a compelling long-term investment, especially given its current valuation is cheaper than its historical average.

“And that 75 basis point headwind is going to become a 75 basis point tailwind for this stock. And here you can see that 18% drop when they did report those earnings. I actually recommended back then on that drop buying the shares.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber bought ServiceNow after a 17% plunge following its earnings report, seeing it as too cheap to ignore. Despite a slight miss on subscription revenue due to Middle East project delays, the company is still forecast for strong sales and earnings growth, trading at a significant discount to its historical price-to-sales ratio and a reasonable P/E.

“Shares are now trading for just 5.4 four times this year's expected sales, a 70% discount to its price to sales last June and for just 20 times on a price toearnings basis. Now, I took advantage of this dip to buy 1300 shares at $85.54 while at the same time selling call options for the July expiration, the $90 strike price.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber believes ServiceNow is cheap after a significant sell-off due to AI replacement fears. He argues that companies are not rushing to replace software vendors with AI, and ServiceNow is forecast for strong sales growth, making it a bargain at its current valuation.

“Service Now, ticker, reports earnings on Wednesday with the shares slammed by those fears that AI will replace those software makers, driving the stock down 40% on the last year. Those fears stand in contrast to the forecast for a strong 20% sales growth this year and next, and for the earnings to reach $5 a share next year.” — ▶ 18:20

The YouTuber is buying ServiceNow, citing its 50% drop from its peak and its current valuation at 6.9 times price-to-sales, which is a 56% discount to its 5-year average of 15 times. Despite 20% revenue growth, which is not the highest, it's considered one of the least expensive when adjusted for growth, making it too good to pass up.

“Okay, leading software uh leading software CRM provider there down 50% from its peak at 20% revenue growth. So not huge revenue growth compared to some of these others but very strong still nonetheless 6.9 times on a price to sales basis.” — ▶ 14:50

The YouTuber suggests ServiceNow is in good value territory after a 41% drop, trading at 10.2 times price-to-sales, which is less than half its historical average. Despite concerns about AI impacting software growth, he believes the full transition will take years, and ServiceNow has an opportunity to be an AI intermediary. The company is expected to maintain strong revenue growth of over 20% and earnings growth of 25%.

“And with earnings expected up even higher at 25% pace this year. Now, if the company does hit that current year revenue forecast, it's going to mean the shares are priced at just 10.2 two times on a price to sales basis, less than half of where they've traded at in the past.” — ▶ 7:40

The YouTuber argues that Service Now is well-positioned to benefit from AI, as it enhances rather than replaces their workflow technologies. Despite a recent sell-off, the company shows strong fundamentals with expected 20% revenue growth and 24% earnings growth, and its valuation has reset to a 35% discount compared to last year.

“Service Now now trades for 13.8 and eight times sales, down from 21 times multiple last year, a 35% discount on a business that is still compounding at nearly 20% annually.” — ▶ 5:00

The YouTuber recommends ServiceNow, which is pushing hard into agentic AI for automating tasks and workflows. While some studies suggest low adoption, the YouTuber argues that professionally developed agentic AI programs from companies like ServiceNow are highly successful, leading to a potential market surprise as enterprises turn to external experts rather than internal development.

“So what we're going to see is really a surprise to the market that no these software companies are not dead. In fact they are building momentum in these agentic AI models.” — ▶ 12:40

The analyst recommends ServiceNow due to its leadership in agentic AI solutions, which help businesses deploy and coordinate AI agents across various functions. Its partnership with NVIDIA enhances its capabilities, and strong growth in large enterprise clients, combined with a forecast of 19% sales growth, makes the stock attractive. Based on a 17 times price-to-sales multiple, the stock is valued at least $1,100 a share.

“On forecast for 2025 sales of $13 billion, almost 19 % growth from last year, the 17 times price-to-sales multiple, the stock is worth at least $1,100 a share.” — ▶ Watch clip

He notes its partnership with Nvidia, strong growth in large enterprise clients, and a projected 2025 sales growth of 19%, valuing the stock at least $1,100 per share.

“On forecast for 2025 sales of 13 billion, almost 19% growth from last year, a 17 times price to sales multiple. The stock is worth at least $1,100 a share.” — ▶ 10:00

ServiceNow is identified as a strong pick, particularly in the next wave of 'Aentic AI'. It passed the 'Rule of 40' test, indicating solid financial performance and growth potential.

“And in that next wave of Aentic AI, it's tough beating Service Now and Salesforce. Both strong picks as well.” — ▶ 15:20

The YouTuber is buying Service Now, a leader in Agentic AI, due to its holistic use cases, pre-built customizable agents, and partnership with Nvidia. He forecasts 19% annual revenue growth and a price target of $1,600 per share, representing a 77% return, noting its relatively inexpensive valuation compared to its historical average.

“Here we see Service Now is trading at just 15 times on a price to sales basis, the least expensive on our list. That's also a 20% discount to the longerterm average of 18.6 times on a price to sales basis that's traded at over the last year.” — ▶ Watch clip

Joseph Hogue recommends ServiceNow due to its strong Agentic AI solutions, including AI Agent Studio and Orchestrator, which offer holistic use cases and customizable agents. The company's partnership with Nvidia enhances its leadership in AI, particularly in cybersecurity and telecom, and it has a strong track record of growing large customer relationships. He projects a price target of $1,100 based on 17 times price-to-sales multiple and 19% growth.

“The company's Agentic AI solutions, its AI agent studio and orchestrator help businesses deploy and coordinate agents from onboarding employees to resolving IT issues. And few other companies out there offer this kind of holistic use case.” — ▶ 8:00

The analyst considers ServiceNow a long-term buy, identifying it as a favorite in the Agentic AI theme. He highlights its comprehensive use cases with pre-built and customizable agents, making its product accessible to various companies. The company's integrations with Nvidia's AI enterprise software further strengthen its leadership in what he believes will be a major trend for the rest of the decade.

“This is also one of my favorite stocks in that Agentic theme. And I'll do the full analysis in Wednesday's video, but few other companies offer the kind of holistic use case with pre-built and customizable agents that make the product accessible to any company.” — ▶ 22:20

The analyst is buying ServiceNow, highlighting its competitive advantage in Agentic AI and business automation, with strong market share in IT operations. Sales are projected to grow at a 19% pace, and the stock's valuation at 13 times forward price-to-sales is considered a good deal compared to its historical levels.

“Service Now ticker NO down 25% since the January high. Agentic AI that business automation and assistance that have been the first real use cases in artificial intelligence is just getting started and is going to be the next evolution in the theme.” — ▶ 6:15

The YouTuber recommends ServiceNow as a leader in business automation solutions, noting its strong market share (31%) and consistent revenue growth (21% this year and next). He believes it's driving the revolutionary use of AI in digital transformation, despite its operating margin not being as high as desired, due to aggressive reinvestment for growth.

“Largest on our list is Service Now, ticker NO, already a $183 billion market cap, a leader in business automation solutions through its platform.” — ▶ 6:00

The analyst considers ServiceNow a strong contender that is close to meeting the 'Rule of 40'. It only needs a slight boost in profitability to qualify, suggesting it's a promising investment if that improvement occurs.

“service now TI our no and P Alto networks toer pnw are strong contenders and just need to boost their profitability a few perc to get here” — ▶ 15:25

The YouTuber suggests ServiceNow, citing its leadership in IT software services with a 40% market share and 98% customer retention. The company has shown significant revenue growth (37% annually) and is transitioning from operating losses to profitability, indicating a strong growth trajectory.

“The company has grown revenue by 37 annually and posted a 4.6 operating margin last year from an operating loss in 2018 so this one is just growing into its profitability years.” — ▶ 8:00

The YouTuber believes Netflix is one of the market's most underpriced stocks, despite recent subscriber growth slowdowns. He points to strong fundamentals, including rapid growth in its ad-supported tier, expected 41% profit growth, and a low P/E ratio compared to historical averages. He calculates a fair value of $107 per share, suggesting significant upside.

“Netflix, ticker NFL, reports earnings Thursday and what I continue to believe is one of the market's most underpriced stocks. Shares are down 41% over the last year as subscriber and revenue growth slows from that yester-year pace.” — ▶ 14:50

The YouTuber is 'loading up' on Netflix shares, believing it's now in value territory after a 36% decline. Despite increased competition in TV watch time, Netflix maintains a strong lead in streaming subscribers. The company is projected to achieve solid revenue growth and significant earnings growth through cost discipline, trading at a steep discount to its historical price-to-sales and price-to-earnings valuations.

“While the shares have typically been priced so high relative to those fundamentals, it's now in value territory here. At a $325 billion market cap, Netflix now trades for just 6.3 times on a price to this year's sales basis.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends buying Netflix, citing its strong revenue growth (16% year-over-year, accelerating from its 5-year average) and increasing operational efficiency, as evidenced by its improving gross and EBIT margins. He also highlights the recent $2.8 billion breakup fee from the failed Warner Brothers acquisition as a bonus for investors and emphasizes Netflix's competitive advantage in international production and its resilience during economic downturns.

“Netflix just has unparalleled revenue growth versus its sector. You can see here revenue growth year-over-year, almost 16% for Netflix versus a sector median at just 2.7%.” — ▶ Watch clip

Netflix is presented as a buy due to its dominant leadership in streaming and its current deep value valuation after a significant price drop. The analyst highlights Netflix's competitive advantage in international production, allowing it to create high-quality content at a fraction of the cost compared to US-based competitors. This strategy is reflected in its improving operating margin, which has grown to 29%, and expected 13% revenue growth.

“Netflix has some real competitive advantages that I think are going to push growth for it as well as a as well as just the valuation on the stock right now down from $130 there in July. This stock is now in deep value territory.” — ▶ 12:30

The fourth quarter typically sees strong performance due to holiday season subscription increases, with expected 16% revenue growth and 27% earnings growth. The stock is trading at a discount to historical price-to-sales and price-to-earnings multiples.

“Netflix, ticker NFL, reports earnings Tuesday with what could be very positive numbers and a 35% slide in the shares have brought them into value territory.” — ▶ 13:00

The analyst suggests taking profits or hedging Netflix shares ahead of its Q1 earnings report, as the stock is 'priced to perfection' at 10 times price-to-sales with modest 13% sales growth. Historically, Netflix's Q1 earnings have led to stock declines, and there's uncertainty regarding subscriber growth and the impact of tariffs.

“I'd be taking profits or just hedging my position going into earnings.” — ▶ 19:50

Hogue recommends selling Netflix, citing concerns about the quality of its content (specifically 'Squid Games' season 2) and the high cost of sports licenses potentially detracting from earnings. He notes the stock's historical volatility around earnings reports, with an average 13% drop on disappointments, and anticipates potential subscriber misses in the upcoming first quarter.

“I recommended the stock in August at $700 a share on the runup to its promotion for that second season of its hit squid games that was released December 26th but got to tell you sold it the first chance I got after binging those six episodes.” — ▶ 06:20

The analyst sold shares of Netflix after its 35% run since September, taking profits due to the disappointing initial reaction to Squid Game season 2. While acknowledging Netflix's long-term streaming dominance, the stock is considered expensive at 10.8 times price-to-sales, above its 3-year average of 8.5 times. The analyst would consider buying back around $750 per share.

“I did binge watch the series Thursday night and then took some profits selling shares of Netflix on the next day the company is still the dominant player in streaming and is expanding into sports but those initial reactions to squid games a breakout Sensation that really launched Netflix kdrama success have not been good” — ▶ 10:20

The analyst believes Netflix is an undisputed winner in streaming, expecting 15% revenue growth this year. The upcoming 'Squid Game' sequel is anticipated to boost investor sentiment and stock price, similar to the first season's impact.

“The highly anticipated sequel to squid game series is scheduled to Premiere December 26 and I expect the company is going to start promoting that soon with the runway success of the first season and subsequent bump in Revenue that Netflix got from it I think the shares could see a boost to investor sentiment and the price on that announcement and then the buildup to that release” — ▶ 12:50

The analyst suggests that long-term investors should consider buying Netflix on a dip if the stock falls due to disappointing subscriber growth after its earnings report. Despite potential short-term challenges with subscriber additions due to the password-sharing crackdown, Netflix remains the standout leader in streaming.

“now if the stock does fall on that disappointing subscriber growth long-term investors should consider picking up more shares on the dip as the Remains the standout leader in streaming” — ▶ Watch clip

Joseph Hogue argues that Netflix, despite being the most expensive streamer, is positioned to be the last one standing and produce the best returns. He highlights its profitability in streaming, its ability to produce a high volume of content, especially cheaper overseas productions, and its strong average revenue per user. These factors give it a competitive advantage over other streaming services struggling with profitability and rising production costs.

“Netflix is certainly not the cheapest but the company has some key advantages that are going to allow it to keep growing while some of these other streaming providers May struggle or even fold.” — ▶ 10:00

The analyst added more shares of Netflix during a January sell-off, citing its strong advantage in foreign-produced content which allows it to sidestep high US production costs, leading to a robust profit margin. Despite its size, Netflix continues to show impressive growth, particularly in international subscribers due to its password-sharing crackdown.

“I took advantage of the January sell-off to add more shares of Netflix Ticker nflx on that same streaming theme” — ▶ 12:40

The YouTuber believes Netflix is reaching an attractive entry point despite recent weakness. He considers it the clear winner in the streaming wars, with international production exposure providing an advantage, especially during the Hollywood actor strike. While not cheap at 4.6 times this year's expected revenue, he notes it's no longer expensive.

“this stock is getting to an attractive Point Netflix is the clear winner in the streaming Wars and its exposure to International production is going to help it extend that gap” — ▶ 10:50

The YouTuber suggests Netflix is worth watching as streaming becomes integral to daily life. Despite Disney's cheaper valuation, Netflix boasts faster revenue growth (8-12% vs. 5-7% for Disney) and has significantly improved its operating margins from 13% to over 18%, justifying its higher valuation.

“Netflix is still one you want to be watching as streaming becomes a part of our lives and that Revenue growth around five to seven percent expected for Disney over the next two years is closer to eight to twelve percent for Netflix though both are expected to post about the same 20 earnings growth.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber highlights DataDog's role in AI observability, providing critical data and analytics to track AI agent performance, token usage, and cost optimization. He argues that no other company offers this level of insight, which is essential for companies to manage AI spending effectively.

“AI has data dog, ticker DDOG, with its agent observability platform tracing every request from start to finish, showing exactly which prompts are used and how many tokens they used.” — ▶ 8:30

The YouTuber suggests hiding out in software and services names like Data Dog, as investors realize AI won't replace their services all at once. These stocks have rebounded from oversold conditions and could have further upside, especially as inflation reports moderate and Fed rate hike fears ease.

“The software and services names could have further to rebound. So you might hide out in some of those names like Data Dog, Snowflake, Palanteer, and the Cyber Security Group.” — ▶ 25:50

The YouTuber is buying Data Dog, which has been hit by the software sell-off but is similar to Palantir in enabling corporate data usage. A recent partnership with Sakana AI is expected to drive AI services, potentially making it the 'next Palantir' at a better valuation. He also suggests a covered call strategy to provide downside protection and immediate cash return.

“First up here is Data Dog, ticker DDOG, has been hit in that software sell-off, now down 43% from its November peak. But this one came up in my Wednesday video with FinTech channel. I really like the story here.” — ▶ 10:00

Data Dog is highlighted for its usage-based business model, which makes it resilient to AI disruption, as it benefits from increased data flow regardless of whether it's human or AI-driven. The company's recent partnership with Sakana AI addresses its previous perceived weakness in AI capabilities, positioning it to offer advanced AI observability for enterprises, similar to Palantir but at a significantly lower valuation (10x P/S vs. Palantir's 40-50x).

“If data dog can start doing anything like what Palunteer does, there you go. Um you know four or five times multiple on the stock.” — ▶ 34:50

Data Dog provides critical observability and security software that becomes mandatory as companies deploy AI agents. Despite recent share volatility, the company has strong revenue growth (20%+) and is positioned to benefit significantly from increased AI development, making it a stock to buy.

“As companies deploy that AI workforce, Data Dog becomes missionritical software. You can see shares are all over the place, down 10% over the past year, but 20% plus revenue growth a year already and potentially more when that AI development gets there makes this stock one to buy.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends DataDog, highlighting its cloud security and management platform, which helps companies consolidate cloud needs. Despite being smaller than some peers, he sees its strong position in a growing market, with high revenue growth (23% this year and next) and improving operating margins, making it reasonably priced for its growth.

“Data Dog, ticker DDOG, at $ 38 billion, operates a cloud security and management platform, really trying to help companies put all their cloud management needs under one roof.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber recommends Datadog as a favorite tech stock, citing its strong innovation driven by high R&D spending and its ability to cross-sell multiple products to its sticky customer base. Despite its high valuation, he sees significant upside due to continued strong revenue growth and improving operating margins.

“Datadog Inc ticker ddog is one of my favorite tech stocks and one of the larger companies on the list the company is an I.T service provider monitoring all the data generated from a business and then analyzing that for Security Management and efficiency from a unified platform.” — ▶ 9:00

The YouTuber notes Datadog's strong sales growth, profitability, and high customer retention due to cross-selling. However, he suggests avoiding it for now due to its expensive valuation at 21 times price-to-sales, preferring to wait for a better entry point.

“but i wouldn't mind watching this one for a while to see if that price comes down for a little better value” — ▶ 4:00

The YouTuber suggests Qualcomm is well-positioned for the shift to 'edge AI,' where intelligence moves directly onto devices like phones and cars. Its Snapdragon chips, combining CPUs, GPUs, and MPUs, can run AI models locally, reducing costs and latency, and unlocking new applications.

“Qualcomm, ticker QCOM, serves the consumer market here, spending years preparing for the shift from the cloud into the device itself. Its Snapdragon chips combine CPUs, GPUs, and dedicated MPUs that can run AI language models directly on those cars, phones, and laptops, and then the IoT devices.” — ▶ 12:40

The speaker views Qualcomm as a favorable addition to SCHD, noting that it has been 'left behind' by other tech and chip companies. They suggest its inclusion could 'give some life' to the SCHD portfolio, implying an expectation of future growth or recovery.

“Another one's going to be Qualcomm. So Qualcomm was added. Cisco systems is the one that was it's pretty much replacing from the technology sector. Qualcomm's been left behind by uh many of the the tech and and chip companies per se. So maybe it can give us some life in that uh in that CHD portfolio.” — ▶ 7:40

The analyst expresses a lack of excitement for Qualcomm, despite its potential in edge NPUs, due to its low 1-2% expected revenue growth. While acknowledging its future role in edge AI, the current growth figures make it less appealing compared to other high-growth chip companies.

“really why I'm kind of avoiding shares of Intel and not really excited about Qualcomm even though they could have the advantage in those edge NPUs, in the edge uh AI chips.” — ▶ 16:00

The YouTuber includes Qualcomm in a list of tech stocks with significant overseas revenue that are expected to benefit from a weakening dollar. Stronger foreign currencies will translate into higher dollar-denominated revenue, providing a potential tailwind for the company's financial results.

“You've got a lot of tech stocks here on the list with Qualcomm skyworks and lamb research as well.” — ▶ 16:00

The analyst suggests buying Qualcomm, highlighting its 21st year of dividend increases and strong growth in its automotive and IoT segments. The company recently secured a multi-year agreement with Apple, reducing uncertainty. Valuation is attractive, trading at 12 times earnings, a 40% discount to its five-year average, suggesting significant upside.

“Qualcomm ticker QC with its slightly higher 2.9% dividend yield though the company has been slower to grow its dividend at just 5% annual Pace over the last 5 years but now you would expect a little slower dividend growth from a tech company because it's investing in that growth and and it's come through in overall returns Over The Last 5 Years investors have returned an average 19% a year including the dividend.” — ▶ 6:00

Qualcomm is presented as a tech stock with a strong 7.5% earnings yield, despite current revenue and earnings expectations being lower due to its ties to Apple's product cycle. The analyst highlights Qualcomm's expansion into automotive and IoT semiconductors, its growing licensing business, and its leadership in smartphone processors as reasons to buy and wait for a rebound next year, while collecting a 2.8% dividend.

“Still though the company leads with a richly valued Tech sector with an earnings yield of 7.5 percent and you get a 2.8 dividend just for for waiting on that rebound next year” — ▶ 3:00

The YouTuber suggests Palantir, despite preferring DataDog for observability, has broader inroads in the AI revolution, including security, agents, and deployment. He notes its AIP observability tool provides execution history and token usage, making it a long-term investment despite recent stock hits.

“Palanteer connects everything directly to a company's operational data and processes. The AIP observability tool provides execution history, tracing, token usage, and workflow logs so a company can see exactly what its agents are doing.” — ▶ 9:30

The YouTuber suggests hiding out in software and services names like Palantir, as investors realize AI won't replace their services all at once. These stocks have rebounded from oversold conditions and could have further upside, especially as inflation reports moderate and Fed rate hike fears ease.

“The software and services names could have further to rebound. So you might hide out in some of those names like Data Dog, Snowflake, Palanteer, and the Cyber Security Group.” — ▶ 25:50

Tom Nash identifies Palantir as his top pick, believing its potential is still untapped despite a recent 40% drop from its peak, offering a good entry point. He highlights its role as an agnostic network for AI implementation at the corporate level, strong fundamentals with 60% annual growth, 90% free cash flow increase, and no debt, seeing it as a future trillion-dollar company.

“If you look at the past few months of Palunteer it's down 40% of the peak. It peaked over 200. It's now down to 130. I believe this is a beautiful entry point to improve your cost basis.” — ▶ 5:40

The YouTuber acknowledges Palantir's impressive 53% revenue growth and improved profitability but advises against buying due to its high valuation of over 115 times on a price-to-sales basis. While recognizing its potential for amazing returns if growth continues, the high valuation presents significant downside risk in case of market or business weakness.

“For me though, I still just can't bring myself to buy in at this valuation over 115 times on a price to sales basis.” — ▶ 11:20

While acknowledging Palantir's strong position in AI use cases and potential to become a trillion-dollar company, the analyst finds its valuation extremely expensive at 107 times price-to-sales. He warns it could suffer significant losses on any weakness in the AI theme.

“But on even the slightest weakness in that overall theme, this stock is going to hand you the biggest losses.” — ▶ 8:20

The YouTuber suggests watching Palantir, noting its ability to grow government revenue despite shutdown fears and its lobbying efforts. This indicates that its donations and influence may be leading to favorable contract outcomes.

“Probably most here that Palunteer PLTR interesting here that following its third quarter earnings that showed despite the government shutdown and all the Doge fears earlier this year.” — ▶ 21:30

The YouTuber suggests using options strategies to de-risk Palantir, specifically selling a covered call at a $155 strike price for January 2026 to gain a 16% cash return, or buying a put option at $155 to lock in a floor price. This strategy allows investors to either generate income or protect against further downside while maintaining exposure to the stock, which he believes will perform well long-term despite short-term volatility.

“You can sell a $155 strike for $2560. Okay, that is going to give you 25.6 divided by 160. That's a 16% a 16% cash return on the shares right now.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber identifies Palantir Technologies as a 'must-owned stock' at the intersection of AI and defense, a sector seeing increased spending. While he finds it currently too expensive at 107 times price to sales, he is watching for any dips to initiate a position.

“Palunteer Technologies tick tocker PLTR is quickly becoming the must-owned stock at the intersection of AI and defense. And while it is entirely too expensive for my cheap ass at 107 times price to sales, I am watching for any dips to pick it up.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber recommends Palantir as a stock that benefits from both the Iran conflict (defense contracts) and the AI arms race (commercial systems). While acknowledging its high valuation, he highlights its strong growth in both commercial (71%) and government (45%) segments, and its significant holding in the SHLD ETF.

“Not only is Palantir growing its commercial systems revenue by 71% over the last year, growing it to a quarter of a billion dollars and booking remaining deals valued at 2.3 billion, but it showed no signs of slowing down on government defense contracts either with segment revenue up 45%.” — ▶ 15:30

The analyst admits he was surprised by Palantir's continued rally after taking profits, attributing its strength to retail investor enthusiasm. He notes strong growth in enterprise customers (71%) and continued government contracts, forecasting 35% sales growth this year. He suggests that as long as it maintains 30%+ growth and investor interest, dip buying will support the stock.

“As long as Palanteer keeps up that 30% plus growth and stays on top of mind for investors, that dip buying is going to continue to support the stock.” — ▶ 11:30

The YouTuber advises avoiding Palantir, despite its recent 29% crash. He argues that even with expected sales growth of 32% this year and 26% next, the stock remains overvalued, trading at a 92% premium above its growth-adjusted valuation compared to its historical average. He suggests it might not have significant rebound upside from its currently expensive level.

“shares of paler are still trading for 92% more expensive than its past valuation implies” — ▶ 7:15

The YouTuber advises avoiding Palantir Technologies until its price drops or there's clarity on the Department of Defense budget cuts. While commercial revenue is growing, government sales are a significant portion of its business, and potential cuts create uncertainty. The stock is not considered to be in value territory at current prices.

“I'd feel better here around an $80 price point but be avoiding the stock until then or until we get news on that pagon budget.” — ▶ 19:40

The analyst advises avoiding Palantir at current valuations, stating it is too expensive at 62 times book value and 44 times this year's expected revenue. While acknowledging it's a great company, he would only consider looking at the stock again if its price drops below $52 per share, which would still represent a 15 times revenue multiple.

“A price under $52 a share wouldn't be cheap at 15 times this year's Revenue but it would be where I start looking at the stock again” — ▶ 8:30

The YouTuber is holding off on Palantir, despite its strong growth, due to its extremely high valuation. He points out that it trades at 330 times earnings and 60 times revenue, which is significantly higher than even faster-growing companies like Nvidia and AMD.

“Shares are trading for a price that is 330 times the earnings the company generates 60 times its Revenue well you say it's worth it for a company growing so fast but you know you got to compare that to Nvidia even which is expected to grow Revenue by 50% next year that's double peners growth and shares are just trading at 53 times on that PE basis and 30 times revenue.” — ▶ Watch clip

Palantir is highlighted as a growth stock leading in AI transformation and data management. It shows strong sales growth (55% in the commercial sector over the last year) and is expected to nearly double its earnings over two years. The YouTuber sees it as a key player in the AI theme.

“This company is leading in that AI transformation theme leading in data management and Analysis paler is a lock for AI and data analysis in the government space but is also growing its dominance in the commercial sector with 55% sales growth over the last year” — ▶ 15:00

The analyst, who previously recommended Palantir, is now taking profits due to its 'ridiculous' valuation, trading at nearly 300 times P/E and 53 times revenue, which is significantly higher than even Nvidia. While acknowledging Palantir is a great company, he believes its 25% revenue growth does not justify such euphoria, making it vulnerable to a sharp correction at any sign of weakness.

“Então, embora eu goste da empresa, estou obtendo meu lucro de 80% sobre o custo médio agora, porque mesmo que ele possa subir à medida que a debandada das ações aumenta, a qualquer sinal de fraqueza, esta pode desistir de 10 ou 20% rápido.” — ▶ 10:20

The analyst identifies Palantir as a favorite stock within the disruptive technology theme, specifically artificial intelligence and robotics, which he believes will play out over the next decade. He notes a 39% gain since his previous recommendation.

“stocks like paler which is up 39% in just the 3 months since recommending it on the channel” — ▶ 14:20

The YouTuber owns Palantir for the long term but is not buying more currently, believing the stock is getting 'a little ahead of itself.' Shares are trading at 37 times the company's revenue, which he considers high even with sales growth, and well above last year's valuation. He suggests looking at other tech names like UiPath, CrowdStrike, and ServiceNow instead for new buys.

“Now of course I'm not selling my paler because these are long-term Holdings but instead of buying more right now I'd looked to some of these other Tech names like uipath crowd strike and service now instead.” — ▶ 13:20

The YouTuber suggests Palantir as a buy, highlighting its leadership in data management and analysis within the AI transformation theme, particularly in government and growing commercial sectors. He points to strong sales growth (55% last year, 24% this year) and expected earnings doubling over two years, along with improved efficiency in its non-GAAP margin.

“Palunteer is a lock for the AI and data analysis in the government space but is also growing its dominance in that commercial sector with 55% sales growth over the last year.” — ▶ 7:30

The YouTuber highlights Palantir's recent jump due to S&P 500 inclusion and dismisses concerns over Peter Thiel's share sale as a 'brief blip'. He previously invested $45,000 in the stock, which is up 34%, indicating a continued bullish stance.

“Palantir Technologies tooker pltr jumped 16% earlier last week when it was announced the company would be added to the S&P 500 Index on September 23rd shares of the data analysis and AI company struggled later when it was reported that chairman Peter teal would sell up to a billion dollars of his Holdings but it's un it's likely just a brief blip I recently highlighted my $45,000 investment in the stock already up 34% and a video on my 10 largest stock Holdings for growth so make sure you check that out” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber notes Palantir's strong investor sentiment and its leadership in data analysis and AI software, particularly its rapidly growing commercial revenue (55% year-over-year). He highlights its impressive 64% 'Rule of 40' score (revenue growth + operating margin) and expects earnings to double every two years. While acknowledging high valuation, he is willing to pay a premium for its dominance in a high-growth market and would 'put his entire portfolio in it' if it fell to $9.

“I think that shows a real investor sentiment in the stock okay that investor investor sentiment obviously the big U the Big Driver for a stock price over shorter periods over shorter period 3 months to a year that investor sentiment what investors are willing to pay for a stock and and what they think about it really the guiding force for for prices.” — ▶ 35:00

The YouTuber recommends Palantir as a key AI company working with government, highlighting its data mining and analytics capabilities for various US government segments and foreign allies. Palantir is expected to grow sales and produce earnings per share, cementing its role in developing AI capabilities for the military.

“Palantir ticker pltr the data mining and analytics Powerhouse has worked with just about every segment of the US government as well as foreign allies.” — ▶ 17:40

The YouTuber likes Palantir Technologies as part of the growth stock theme. He anticipates that growth stocks, which have been negatively impacted by higher interest rates, will see their valuations increase as rates come down, making them attractive investments.

“I also like Palantir Technologies here pltr as well as snowflake ticker snow in that gross stock theme.” — ▶ 17:00

The analyst recommends buying Palantir if it continues to fall, framing the current market weakness as a temporary correction in a long-term AI trend. He advises investors to maintain conviction and accumulate shares during pullbacks, expecting future rewards from the multi-year AI theme.

“as these AI stocks continue to fall further do not second guess yourself have the confidence in your decision to buy these stocks on that multi-year theme stick with them and you will be rewarded” — ▶ 9:30

The YouTuber notes Palantir's strong focus on AI with its AIP platform, leading to 20%+ revenue growth in the US and profitability. While he likes the double-digit growth and increasing operating margins, he cautions that the stock is expensive at 46 times expected earnings, with much of the growth already priced in after a 59% run this year.

“I do think palantir has the more focused growth in AI but the stock price is baking in a lot of that growth” — ▶ 9:40

Joseph Hogue argues that Palantir is currently undervalued, trading at 7.7 times expected sales, which is its lowest since listing. He highlights its strong balance sheet with $2.2 billion in net cash and positive earnings, suggesting no existential risk despite concerns about its investment strategy in startups. He believes the market is overstating the downside from these investments, which represent only a small portion of total revenue.

“I think you can start picking up shares here and hold it for that long term.” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber holds Palantir for the long term and uses a covered call strategy to generate cash flow, especially since it doesn't pay a dividend. They recommend selling out-of-the-money calls at strike prices they are willing to sell the stock for, or holding more shares than covered by the calls to retain long-term exposure.

“I want to hold Palantir for the long run and I want to be able to cash flow because Palantir does not pay me a dividend it's a growth stock I want to be able to pay myself a dividend.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber argues that Palantir has reached 'max fear' due to recent selling by institutional investors like Cathie Wood, signaling a potential bottom. He highlights strong commercial revenue growth, an 80% gross margin, and a reasonable PEG ratio of 1.4, suggesting that despite high share-based compensation and a slowing government segment, the long-term growth potential justifies buying now for investors with a long-term focus.

“shares are still expensive here but sometimes you just got to be that argumentative a-hole and buy when everyone else is selling this is the point of max fear for shares of pal ontario if you have a long-term focus and can wait to let the company prove its growth this could be one of the best investments over the next decade” — ▶ 00:00

The YouTuber is buying more of the TLT ETF, expecting a turnaround in interest rates due to anticipated lower inflation data from the upcoming CPI report and potential de-escalation of geopolitical tensions. He believes these factors will ease pressure on the Fed, driving bond prices up and making the ETF a profitable buy by its August 21st expiration.

“I'm continuing to hold on to that and buying more because I think that turnaround in rates makes this one a very profitable buy that August 21st expiration.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber is buying a call spread on TLT, anticipating that the ETF will rise above $87 by August 21st due to easing Fed rate hike fears and upcoming inflation data. This strategy offers a high potential return (115%) for a defined, small risk, reflecting strong conviction in the short-term market mispricing.

“Right now, I can go to the options and I'll use the August 21st options here, which is going to include good inflation news in July and August, as well as that July Fed meeting. buying the call options at the $85 strike price cost $154. But I can offset some of that by collecting 61 cents for the $87 call options for a total cost of just 93 cents each. That means if the TLT ends above $87 by expiration, spread is going to be worth $2 each for 115% profit in just 6 weeks.” — ▶ 12:20

This is a safer call spread strategy on TLT, targeting a close above $86 by August 21st. It offers a lower but still significant return (70%) with more downside protection compared to the more aggressive $85/$87 spread, based on the same thesis of easing Fed rate hike concerns.

“A safer but still good return could be buying the $84 call options for $2.16 while selling the $86 calls for 99 each or a total cost of just $1.17 per share. That would bring the return potential down to 70%. But the TLT only has to close above $86 for it and you have a lot more downside protection.” — ▶ 13:20

The YouTuber believes that the market is overestimating the likelihood and speed of Fed rate hikes. As the market realizes rates won't rise as fast as expected, bond prices, which move inversely to interest rates, will increase. This makes TLT an attractive investment, also offering a 4.5% dividend yield.

“The biggest return potential here is going to be in Treasury bond funds like the Eyeshares 20-year Treasury ETF, ticker TLT. That's because bond prices move opposite of interest rates. So, as interest rates come back down when the market realizes the Fed won't be hiking quite so fast, this TLT is going to go back up, adding to 4.5% dividend yield you'll also collect.” — ▶ 10:50

The YouTuber recommends buying TLT as a hedge against a potential stock market downturn, noting that bond prices tend to rise when interest rates fall. He believes interest rates are likely to fall in the near future due to economic fears or potential changes in Fed leadership, which would benefit TLT. He also highlights its 4.5% dividend yield as a protective measure.

“I found a way to benefit in just about any scenario we see from this. The iShares 20 plus year Treasury bond ETF, the TLT, holds over $40 billion in long-term treasury bonds and pays a 4.5% dividend yield.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber recommends TLT as a safe place to put cash, offering a 4.3% dividend yield. He highlights its safety as a treasury bond ETF, suggesting it's a better alternative to low-yielding savings accounts for emergency funds or cash reserves.

“First one up here is going to be the Eyeshares 20-year Treasury Bond ETF. That ticker TLT. Now, this pays a 4.3% dividend yield. So, a solid dividend yield. These are treasury bonds. Okay, so these are the safest of the safe.” — ▶ 7:00

The analyst is using a call spread strategy on TLT, betting that long-term interest rates will fall over the summer, causing the ETF's price to rise. He anticipates that economic weakness will force the Fed to cut interest rates, which would benefit bond prices and thus TLT. The strategy involves buying a $90 strike call and selling a $95 strike call expiring in August.

“While I think that higher inflation is coming, I also think the hit to the economy is going to force the Fed to lower interest rates and long-term rates are going to fall over the summer, taking that TLT higher again.” — ▶ 10:50

The YouTuber considers the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) a smart play for a near-term swing lower in interest rates. He notes that interest-rate sensitive sectors like real estate and utilities have plunged due to rising rates, and it's difficult to see rates going much higher, making real estate stocks and TLT attractive.

“real estate stocks are still in very attractive territory and other rate bets you might want to look at here like the iar's 20-year treasury ETF that ticker TLT looking really smart here for a near-term swing lower in interest rates.” — ▶ 24:00

The YouTuber recommends buying TLT, arguing that interest rates cannot stay at current high levels for long as they will choke the economy. He believes that when the Fed eventually cuts rates, TLT will jump, potentially offering a 12% return on top of its dividend.

“And when that happens the iar's 20-year treasury bond ETF ticker TLT will jump a move back to 4% on the treasury could send the TLT back up to $99 each for a 12% return on top of the 3.6% dividend you collect.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber advises against TLT, noting that while long-term bonds typically benefit from falling interest rates in a recession, interest rates are likely to rise in the coming year, which would negatively impact bond prices.

“For bonds, interest rates are likely to go up instead of down over the next year.” — ▶ 5:55

The YouTuber is buying Grab, viewing it as a 'super app' that combines ride-sharing, delivery, payments, lending, and advertising, similar to a combination of Uber, Cash App, PayPal, and Google Ads in Southeast Asia. He believes the market is underestimating its potential as it transitions from a ride-sharing company to a comprehensive tech platform, with strong revenue and profit growth, and potential for international expansion beyond Southeast Asia. He projects a potential nine-times return over time.

“I'll show you how and why I'm buying this stock for as much as nine times return on my money.” — ▶ 00:00:25

The YouTuber previously closed out their position in SMCI due to its volatility and recent negative news, including a broader data center sell-off and reports of an investigation into illegal exports. While acknowledging it's still undervalued and suitable for covered calls, they advise against holding it for investors unwilling to ride out significant price swings.

“All this has become nothing new for SMCI, which is why I warned investors and started closing up my position in the mid40s last month. Now, these shares are still strongly undervalued and make for a good covered call positions, but only for investors willing to ride out that roller coaster.” — ▶ 24:50

The YouTuber is closing out his long-held position in Super Micro Computer due to the stock's volatility and stress, despite acknowledging its continued undervaluation and critical role in AI data center servers. He believes new investors can still find returns but must be prepared for significant price swings.

“For myself, I'm starting to close out my position over the rest of this year. It's still a cheap stock, but I'm already on cholesterol medication, and I don't need to be on heart meds as well, so just don't need the stress that comes with it.” — ▶ 7:40

The YouTuber recommends buying Super Micro Computer, highlighting its recent earnings beat driven by improved profitability despite a revenue miss.

“I think you're going to find that SMCI, even after today's big run, is still a very good deal.” — ▶ 27:00

The YouTuber recommends Super Micro Computer as a critical infrastructure stock in the AI building phase, following the semiconductor supply chain. He emphasizes the ongoing demand for compute capacity to run AI models and the massive spending in AI infrastructure, noting its recovery from a recent crash.

“That's names like Nvidia took her NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices AMD, Broadcom AVGO, Marvel Technologies, MRVL, Taiwan Semiconductor took her TSM, and yes, even Super Micro computer took our SMCI, which is now up 38% from its March crash and approaching that $30 a share once again.” — ▶ 11:50

The YouTuber advises holding Super Micro Computer, despite its volatility, believing it is significantly undervalued.

He also suggests using covered calls to manage risk and capitalize on volatility.

“I'm going to continue to hold my shares and still believe SMCI is significantly undervalued.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber maintains a positive outlook on Super Micro Computer, stating that despite management issues, the company makes the best AI-enabled servers and is a major beneficiary of AI spending. He highlights strong expected sales and earnings growth, with the stock trading at a significant discount to historical valuations, making it attractive for patient investors.

“At a valuation of just .5 time sales and less than 10 times expected earnings, a discount even lower than when the company was at risk of being delisted. This stock will reward patient investors.” — ▶ 20:00

The YouTuber recommends holding Super Micro Computer despite recent management issues and a stock crash, citing its strong position as a top server maker in the booming AI data center market. He highlights expected revenue growth of 88%, improving profitability from higher-margin solutions like DCBS, and a current valuation of 0.3 times price-to-revenue and 9 times price-to-earnings, which is significantly below its historical averages.

“But the fact remains that this is still the top server maker in a market that is booming on that AI data center buildout.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends Super Micro Computer as the leader in AI servers, seeing its recent dip as a buying opportunity. He emphasizes its critical role in AI infrastructure, its significant market share in AI-enabled servers, and its strong revenue growth, which is three times the sector median. He acknowledges its low current profitability due to heavy reinvestment but expects a future pivot to higher earnings.

“Super microcomput ticker SMCI up 683% over the last 5 years. Yes, it has been a roller coaster over the last couple years. It is down now right around $30 per share. a great value opportunity, great opportunity to buy the dip in this stock, but this stock is the leader in AI servers.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber expresses high conviction in Super Micro Computer, stating its valuation and opportunity make it one of the best deals of the year. He argues that the strong performance and increased guidance from Oracle and Nebius, who are building AI data centers, directly benefit SMCI as the market leader in AI servers (controlling 22% of the market). He highlights the massive spending by hyperscalers on AI infrastructure and SMCI's affirmed target of $40 billion+ revenue this year, representing 87% growth.

“I continue to believe that the valuation and the opportunity on this one is going to be one of your best deals of the year.” — ▶ 11:00

The YouTuber recommends Super Microcomputer despite its volatility, seeing it as undervalued. He points to its role as a server manufacturer for AI data centers, expecting 87% revenue growth this year.

The analyst continues to hold Super Micro Computer, citing its strong position in the AI data center boom and close integration with chipmakers like Nvidia. Despite short interest, the company is expected to grow sales significantly, and its current valuation is considered attractive, with a price target of at least $80.

“SMCI is one of the biggest beneficiaries of that AI data center boom expected to grow sales 45% this year to $32 billion at a $26 billion market cap. That is a price of just83 times this year of sales.” — ▶ 12:30

The analyst strongly recommends SMCI, citing its significant market share growth in servers (from 3.5% to 22%) and immense sales growth forecasts (45% this year, 25% next). Despite recent profitability hits due to rising chip costs and competition, he argues its current price-to-sales ratio of 1.15 (or 0.75 on forward sales) is extremely undervalued compared to its growth and historical valuations, projecting a potential 54-88% return.

“I'm going to continue to buy anywhere near the low 40s for this stock.” — ▶ 17:40

The analyst plans to buy more Supermicrocomputer shares following a 16-17% after-hours drop, despite missing revenue and earnings estimates. This miss is attributed to increased competition in the server space, but the company is still expected to achieve 35% revenue growth in the next fiscal year, driven by the $365 billion AI arms race. The current valuation at 0.94 times price-to-sales after the drop is considered a great deal, with potential for 30% upside if it returns to a 1.23 price-to-sales ratio.

“And I think it's going to be a great deal now at 0.94, even if it gets back over to, let's say it only gets back up to 1.23 price to sales here over the next year, 1.23 price to sales ratio valuation, that's divided by 0.94, where it's going to be after this big 17 % drop, that is a 30 % upside potential return right there.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends buying SMCI on its 16% after-hours dip, viewing it as a buying opportunity in an overextended market.

The current price-to-sales ratio of 0.94 after the drop makes it an attractive valuation, with potential for a 30% upside if it returns to a 1.23 P/S ratio.

“I actually think I'm going to buy more shares on this.” — ▶ 10:00

Supermicrocomputer is expected to significantly exceed its modest 11% sales growth forecast, with 48% growth expected this year and potential for $40 billion in 2026 sales. Despite its recent run, the stock remains inexpensive at 1.7 times price-to-sales, suggesting substantial upside.

“It's still not expensive at just 1.7 times on that price -to -sales basis. On that $30 billion in forecasted 2026 sales, and this same 1.7 times valuation, you're looking at an $82 share price for another 46 % upside. That's just over the next year.” — ▶ 12:00

Super Micro Computer is presented as the YouTuber's largest holding and a strong buy, having grown revenue by 60% annually for three years and forecast for continued high growth.

He believes the stock could be three or four times higher and still be considered cheap, making it his highest conviction AI-related pick.

“Shares of SMCI could be three or four times where they are right now and would still be considered cheap. In fact, in my research of the 60 AI related stocks, shares of SMCI were by far the best deal on that growth adjusted basis, which is why I own over 24,000 shares worth more than a million dollars in my own portfolio.” — ▶ 14:00

He projects a significant upside based on future revenue potential and a reasonable price-to-sales multiple, expecting the stock to break $100 per share.

“Folks, we're past all the accounting allegations in SMCI. An independent audit cleared the company, and it's filed a late financials to stay listed on the NASDAQ. There are still a few short sellers holding out hope. But mostly, this stock is just trading on fears that that trade war is going to hit the AI market and server sales.” — ▶ 13:40

“But even assuming $20 billion in sales, that is still 34% sales growth. And a stock trading at just one times on that price to sales valuation. Whether the market falls further or not, that is a rare opportunity to pick up a gross stock that cheap.” — ▶ 18:00

The YouTuber is buying SMCI on the recent dip, arguing that much of the sell-off is due to broader AI market sentiment and hot money exiting, rather than company-specific issues. He believes the DOJ investigation is the only remaining risk but expects it to be a non-event, clearing uncertainty. His price target is based on historical price-to-sales valuations applied to strong sales forecasts, suggesting significant upside.

He notes the stock's recent jump on news of shipping Nvidia Blackwell chips and its role as a pure-play server company in the data center boom, with expected revenue growth of 64% this year. He believes the stock is significantly undervalued at 0.8 times expected revenue due to the uncertainty, suggesting it could quickly reach $60 and potentially $120 once the issues are resolved.

“F those late reports and put some of that uncertainty to rest this is a $60 stock very quickly and could make a run back up to that $120 Peak” — ▶ 13:40

He believes short-seller allegations are bunk and the company is undervalued, especially if it files its late financial reports on time, which he expects it to do. He sees significant upside once the filing is complete.

“I've been buying over the last 3 months and now hold 17,000 shares... Shares are easily worth $40 to $60 each once they file and back as high as a $100 a share on the company's Pure Play advantage in that data center Hardware theme.” — ▶ 3:00

The analyst is loading up on Super Micro Computer, asserting that previous allegations were bogus and the company is a pure play in data center buildout. Despite recent price increases, it still trades at a low 0.6 times its expected $30 billion in sales this year, with revenue growth of 66% last year and 20% this year, suggesting shares could easily double.

“this is a pure play in that data center buildout St still trading for a price of just6 times that $30 billion in sales expected this year so if you just compare that valuation for a stock growing Revenue by 66% last year and 20% this year to all the other growth stocks in the market you can see why I think shares could easily be worth double where they are right now” — ▶ 6:50

The YouTuber holds SMCI for the long term, having profited significantly. He believes the stock could jump further once the company files its late reports and avoids delisting, as an independent analysis found no wrongdoing and a new auditor has been secured.

“I'm up just over $131,000 on shares of Super Micro computer tier smci for a long-term hold but there might also be an opportunity near-term here in this 2x smci daily ETF the smcl up 20 % last Monday the company has until February 25th to file its late reports and avoid being delisted by the NASDAQ exchange an independent analysis found no wrongdoing in the accounting and the firm has found a new auditor but it's still going to take time to put those reports together and file them It should have plenty of time and when it does though those shares could jump even more than Monday's 10% gain on this underlying stock” — ▶ 11:00

The YouTuber recommends Super Micro Computer, noting its recent pullback due to late financial filings, which he views as a temporary issue rather than a fundamental problem. He highlights the company's leadership in AI data center solutions, strong revenue and earnings growth expectations, and a valuation that is a fraction of its previous highs, suggesting a significant upside once the filing issues are resolved.

“folks this company is a leader and pure play in that AI data center Service Solutions theme one expected to drive 66% Revenue growth and 25% earnings this year all at a valuation that is a fraction of where it was last year.” — ▶ 8:50

The analyst is adding to their position in Super Micro Computer, buying on recent price weakness. The stock has seen disappointment as investors are impatient for the company to file its latest reports and comply with NASDAQ listing rules. Despite an independent investigation finding no accounting problems, the market is selling off, creating a buying opportunity based on previous price targets of $40 on the low side and over $100 on the high side.

“an impatient Market is now selling out of the stock and I'm again buying on those price targets I shared with $40 each on the low side and well over $100 a share on the high side” — ▶ 9:40

The YouTuber is bullish on SMCI as a pure-play in the data center buildout theme, supplying server solutions with Nvidia chips. He dismisses short-seller allegations and highlights the company's strong revenue growth (60% this year, 20% next year expected) and potential path to $50 billion in revenue, suggesting it could more than double from current levels despite volatility.

“smci is the only pure play in that massive data center buildout theme Supply and server Solutions with Nvidia chips... this one could still more than double from here” — ▶ 5:40

The YouTuber believes SMCI is a pure play on data center buildout for AI, with strong growth potential despite short-term volatility due to pending financial filings and a lawsuit. He proposes an options strategy to buy shares at a 41% discount, targeting a 55% return, or a higher strike option for a 69% return, even if the stock flatlines at its low price target.

“The strategy here is simple once you actually get the hang of it though it might take a couple of times watching through this explanation if if you're unfamiliar with how options or that covered cost option strategy works if you click through to the options tab on Yahoo finance and I'm only using Yahoo as an example here you can do this on any online investing account here you change the date to January 2026 options and here you scroll down through the call options and remember these given investor the right to buy shares of smci for a set price that strike price if they pay a cash premium now we're going to use the $40 strike options for our example as really that safe strategy since that is our low price Target and the options are trading for about $18.12 as of the close on Friday that is the amount investors are paying for the right to buy shares of smci for a $40 each from now until January 2026 so the way that you use this to get your 55% return is you buy the shares and at the same time sell these call options against them in a brokerage account this would mean buying a hundred or more shares of SM smci and then selling to open one call option contract because remember each call option contract is worth 100 shares at that $40 strike price if you were to buy the shares at the current price of a $43.90 each at the close of Friday and sell a call option against it for that $18.12 premium collecting that amount that means your actual cost is only $25.8 which is a 41% discount to the current price shares could fall 41% and you would still break even on this under this strategy though if smci stays above the our low estimate of $40 each by January 2026 expiration of those call options the investor that bought that option from you is going to get them for that $40 contract price you will have collected $40 a share on your $25 cost basis or a 55% upside return” — ▶ 12:50

The YouTuber is buying Super Micro Computer, despite recent short-term risks, due to its strong position in the data center buildout for AI. He notes the company is booking over 20% growth and is trading at a deep value with a P/E of 17x and P/S of 1.4x, suggesting significant long-term upside.

“This is a company booking 20% plus growth trading at just just 17 times on a priced to earnings and just 1.4 times Revenue deep value territory next year we're back in that cyber security theme with Palo Alto networks.” — ▶ Watch clip

The analyst argues that despite potential delisting issues, SMCI presents a strong buying opportunity, citing its 30-year history, competitive advantage in a high-growth sector, and the insignificance of past accounting violations. He believes a delisting could lead to a forced sell-off by institutional investors, creating a low entry point, similar to a previous delisting event that resulted in significant returns for patient investors. Valuation metrics, such as 0.4x next year's revenue, are considered very attractive for a company with 20% revenue growth.

“Portanto, uma listagem pode ser a melhor oportunidade para investidores. E sabemos disso porque, novamente, já estivemos aqui antes.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber is holding SMCI despite delisting risks, citing its strong valuation at current levels (1x revenue vs. historical 2x-6x) and its leadership in the data center buildout for AI. He believes the company's core business remains strong despite accounting allegations and potential delisting, which he sees as a temporary setback similar to 2018, offering a significant long-term return for patient investors.

“I am still holding that position but before you rush out to load up there are some serious risks and I do believe it's likely we're going to see one more big drop before the stock starts heading higher.” — ▶ 4:00

The YouTuber plans to buy more SMCI shares if it gets delisted, viewing it as a strong buying opportunity. He expects a significant drop in price if delisting occurs, allowing him to dollar-cost average his position lower, anticipating a strong recovery and relisting within a year or so, similar to its 2018 experience.

“I do think delisting is right now the base case very likely outcome so I want to wait before buying any more shares waiting for one last big drop before picking up more shares and dollar cost averaging my position lower if it is delisted I'll hold my shares for the year or so that it takes to get relisted again and and for this all to blow over.” — ▶ 19:00

The YouTuber views Super Micro Computers as his favorite play in the AI hardware sector, benefiting from data center growth, despite its stock being down 60% from its March peak. He points to expected 120% earnings growth and 212% revenue growth, along with a low 14x P/E, and plans to buy more shares on any significant dips, acknowledging the risk from delayed 10K reports and alleged accounting issues.

“It's one of my largest Holdings and I'm going to pick up more shares on any big headline related dips.” — ▶ 12:30

The YouTuber is buying SMCI due to its strong boost in revenue from the AI infrastructure hardware boom, noting its potential competitive advantage in liquid cooling systems for AI GPUs. While acknowledging a possible DOJ investigation and higher valuation compared to peers, he believes the allegations are not a threat to the business.

“That said I'm still buying smci but I'm also likely to pick up shares of HP ahead of its earnings reported next month” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber is buying Super Micro Computer due to its leadership in data center buildouts for AI, with unmatched server flexibility. Despite recent sell-offs related to a short-seller report and a DOJ investigation, he believes the company's fundamental growth story remains intact, with revenue expected to jump significantly and shares trading at a low 12 times expected earnings and a 1.6 price-to-sales ratio.

“This has happened before and it's amounted to less than a risk slap for the company that data center buildout will take the shares higher and for investors with the patience to write it out it is going to be worth it.” — ▶ 9:20

The YouTuber strongly recommends Super Micro Computer, highlighting its role in providing hardware for AI data centers and its competitive advantage in flexible server systems. He dismisses recent short-seller accusations as non-life-threatening, emphasizing the company's leadership in the booming AI industry and its explosive growth potential, making its 1.88x price-to-sales valuation very cheap given expected 88% growth this year.

“Super Micro builds servers using Nvidia's chips to power data centers that can do more of that high-level Computing run by artificial intelligence.” — ▶ 15:40

The YouTuber bought more shares of Super Micro Computer during a sell-off triggered by a DOJ inquiry into accounting practices. He believes the investigation is not an existential threat to the company, which remains a leader in data center hardware and is poised for significant growth due to AI demand.

“I actually used the sell off as an opportunity to buy another 100 shares now a position of $125,000 at about a $434 cost basis so down just 4% so far the company still hasn't filed its annual 10K report likely delayed as it figures out what it needs to restate and will probably have to restate some of those past financials but as I've said lately none of this is a big threat or exist Potential Threat to the company or stops it in that leadership of the biggest growth theme right now that data center buildout” — ▶ 11:49

The YouTuber recommends buying Super Micro Computer, arguing that despite a significant recent drop, the company is poised for strong revenue and profit growth in the AI and data center hardware space. He believes the short-seller accusations are not life-threatening and the stock is undervalued at current levels, expecting a rebound similar to its historical performance.

“What I'm thinking here is even in a worst case scenario where sales and earnings had to be revised following an internal investigation this is still going to be a very cheap stock for a company that is a proven leader in data center Hardware.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber recently bought SMCI on a dip, dismissing a short-seller report as 'nitpicking.' He views SMCI as a leader in data center hardware, crucial for the booming AI growth, especially with its use of Nvidia chips. He believes the company is well-positioned to benefit from the massive investment in data centers by companies like Microsoft and BlackRock.

“super micro computers ticker smci is another one I picked up recently on that dip buying 200 shares after the data center hardware company got hit by a short short seller report... none of these are make or break moments for the company in fact it really just appears nitpicking to me a way for Hindenberg to make a fast Buck on one of its short stocks smci is a leader in data center Hardware using using Nvidia chips to power its server a and right in the middle of that booming growth that's just getting started” — ▶ 11:00

The YouTuber notes Super Micro Computer's recent rebound and cites a Seeking Alpha article suggesting the shares might still be undervalued despite losing half their value from March highs due to a short seller report and delayed filings. He is preparing a video on it as a 'beaten but not broken' stock.

“super microcomputer ticker smci rebounded 19% last week but an article in seeking Alva must-reads newsletter points out that the shares might still be too cheap to ignore The stock has lost more than half of its value from the march on a short seller report and delay in annual filings I'm preparing a video including it as one of my favorite beaten but not broken stocks to watch” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber suggests avoiding Microsoft due to significant risk related to AI potentially replacing its software suite, despite its strong business. While acknowledging it's a bellwether tech name for the long term, the immediate risk profile makes it less attractive than other dip-buying opportunities in tech.

“Microsoft is probably the biggest surprise, though, down 20% on this year on those fears that AI is going to replace its software suite. The business is still strong, but I would agree this is where most of the risk is in the group. So, I would avoid in favor of buying the dip in some of these others.” — ▶ 18:50

The YouTuber is buying Microsoft, highlighting its 31% discount to its average valuation and the strength of its Azure cloud services. A key catalyst is its 27% ownership stake in OpenAI, valued at $130 billion, which could provide a significant windfall if OpenAI IPOs later this year, offering a 'lottery ticket upside'.

“And what I think here has a lottery ticket upside on its ownership of Open AI.” — ▶ 12:45

Kieran Francis recommends Microsoft, focusing on its overlooked business-to-business cloud segment (Azure) rather than consumer products. Despite recent price drops and consumer product issues, Azure is a $75 billion business growing at 38-41%, making the stock relatively cheap at a P/E of 25 and below a $3 trillion market cap.

“Azure has grown 41% and 38% in their two most recent quarters. This is a $75 billion per year business, and it's growing like it's a startup or a small growth stock.” — ▶ 12:00

The analyst views Microsoft as the best-positioned hyperscaler for artificial intelligence, citing its 27% ownership of OpenAI as a significant value driver. He notes the average analyst target suggests solid upside.

“I think the company's 27% ownership of Open AI alone could be worth a trillion dollars on the company's market cap.” — ▶ 12:00

The YouTuber recommends Microsoft, citing its 27% ownership in OpenAI, which he believes could add a trillion dollars to its market cap if ChatGPT continues its growth. He also notes its multibillion-dollar federal contracts and AI partnerships, suggesting its lobbying efforts are paying off.

“Within these seven tech donors here, I like Amazon, ticker AMZN and Microsoft. MSFT the best.” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber echoes Wall Street's buy rating, noting that AI spending is expected to boost revenue for Microsoft for at least another year. Despite a slight dip after earnings, the stock has shown strong returns year-to-date.

The YouTuber highlights Microsoft as a winner in the AI space, particularly due to its 27% ownership stake in OpenAI, which could add trillions to its value. Additionally, its cloud services segment, crucial for AI data center buildout, showed 40% revenue growth, significantly outperforming competitors.

“That headline was the completed conversion of chat GBT provider OpenAI from a nonprofit into a for-profit company.” — ▶ 22:00

The YouTuber views Microsoft as a natural beneficiary of AI, given its early investment in OpenAI and its integration of AI into its software stack (Office, Teams, Windows). This integration is expected to revolutionize office operations and its strong software and services revenue base will help smooth out hardware cycle risks.

“Microsoft is just a natural beneficiary here. Okay, so it's got that strong software and services revenue base going to help it smooth out any hardware cycle risk.” — ▶ 15:40

Microsoft is expected to receive a $12.5 billion cash windfall from tax changes, increasing its free cash flow by 18%. Despite trading slightly above its 5-year average price-to-cash flow ratio, Hogue believes the increased cash flow could still lead to a 17% higher stock value, even with a potential valuation multiple contraction.

“And here the company is forecast to see a 12.5 billion cash windfall from these changes. Almost an 18% increase to its 71 billion in free cash flow reported. Their shares are trading a little expensive here at 27 times on a price to cash flow ratio versus that 5-year average around 26 times cash flow... Even on that lower price to cash flow ratio though, which would be a drop of 6% in the shares, would still be 17% higher on that cash flow increase.” — ▶ 5:30

Microsoft is recommended as a 'must-own' for investors, aggressively bought by the YouTuber. Its early support for OpenAI and integration of AI across its products, combined with a 55% EBITDA profitability, ensures its top position. Despite slightly slower growth expectations, it's a consistent performer.

“And another stock I've been buying aggressively, Symbotic Inc. ticker SYM, with the shares doubling this year and up 121% since I started recommending it and buying last year.” — ▶ 18:00

The analyst advises holding off on Microsoft due to its high valuation at 14 times price-to-sales, especially given its expected 14% sales growth. While the company is integrating AI, no significant new developments or surprises are anticipated to justify the current price.

“It's not cheap here at 14 times price to sales, especially on only 14% sales growth. So, I'd hold off on this one.” — ▶ 9:30

The YouTuber suggests Microsoft as a safer way to play the quantum computing theme, noting its significant breakthroughs like the Majorana quantum processor and collaboration with Atom Computing. While acknowledging its large base means less explosive growth than pure-plays, it offers a guaranteed spot in the future quantum market without the same existential risk.

“Next on our list aren't the pure play quantum stocks, but tech giants like Microsoft, ticker MSFT, and Google parent Alphabet, ticker G O.” — ▶ 20:00

The analyst sees an opportunity in Microsoft following a market sell-off, noting its relatively good valuation compared to other big tech players. While some tech giants have been hit harder, Microsoft has weathered the downturn relatively well, making it an attractive buy.

“But the sell-off in Amazon and Nvidia along with the relatively good valuation in Microsoft have opened up opportunities there.” — ▶ 13:00

The analyst suggests continuing to add to a Microsoft position around $400 per share, noting its strong operating margin and positive outlook for revenue and earnings growth. He advises saving some cash for more aggressive buying if the stock falls further, acknowledging its current valuation of 35 times P/E and 13 times sales.

“I think you can keep adding to a position here around $400 a share but it wouldn't hurt to save some cash back for more aggressive buying if the stock does fall below this point” — ▶ 15:00

The YouTuber suggests covering some positions in Microsoft due to high valuations and the likelihood of disappointing earnings from the remaining Magnificent Seven stocks this week, following recent drops in Alphabet, Nvidia, and Tesla.

“That said Returns on the mag 7 stocks have been very good this year with the exception of Tesla Nvidia is still up 127% followed by meta up 31% alphabet 19 and Amazon 19% Apple up 133% and Microsoft lagging at 12% here but and so valuations are still pretty high on this group while investors should have some exposure to these Tech Giants long term the likelihood that we see those disappointing earnings from the remaining four stocks this week you might want to cover some of your positions just a little showing you that bigger picture here with with the sector spider.com sector tracker seven of the 11 stock sectors did close higher last week despite the loss on the overall market index.” — ▶ 18:40

The analyst recommends picking up Microsoft on any dips, despite expectations of higher capital spending weighing on profits in the short term. He believes the company is leading the AI race, with strong Azure cloud growth and Co-pilot adoption, and that increased spending will ultimately pay off for investors.

“Higher Capital spending could limit returns for the next couple of quarters but it's going to ult ultimately pay off and investors should consider picking up the stock on any dips.” — ▶ 17:40

The analyst recommends Microsoft due to its strategic investment in OpenAI, which provides access to leading AI models and enables AI integration into products like Co-pilot and Bing. Despite its size, Microsoft maintains outstanding profitability and has multiple levers for future revenue growth, such as gaming, allowing it to comfortably exceed the 'Rule of 40'.

“so what we have with Microsoft is a company with outstanding profitability and a lot of levers it can pull for that higher Revenue now the 12-month Revenue growth is lower at 11.5% but that eaon margin is the second highest of our top five at nearly 52% at that profitability Microsoft can afford to spend more stretching its AI lead for to drive Revenue growth and it would still be well above that rule of 40 cut off” — ▶ 8:00

The YouTuber flags Microsoft as a stock to be cautious about due to rising receivables growing faster than revenue in two of the last three years. This suggests a change in policy where Microsoft is extending more credit to customers, potentially to boost reported revenue growth. The concern is whether the company will be able to collect the substantial amount in receivables, or if write-downs will be necessary, impacting future earnings.

“In the last 3 years though not only has that changed but receivable growth has been higher in two of the three so so not only does it seem like Microsoft is changing its policy extending more credit to customers instead of collecting immediately but it is maybe going to overboard on that policy.” — ▶ 24:50

The analyst recommends Microsoft due to its significant investment in OpenAI and successful integration of generative AI into its products like Bing. He anticipates further benefits as AI is incorporated into its Office suite, driving growth and efficiency.

“Microsoft ticker msft the software giant invested a billion dollars in open AI back in 2019 and has since expanded that partnership on the success of chat GPT” — ▶ 12:50

The YouTuber suggests Microsoft is a long-term buy despite its current high valuation. Its early investment in OpenAI and expansion of AI access into its products, along with strong cloud growth, positions it for continued long-term returns.

“long-term investors can definitely make the case here that even if Microsoft gives back a little of this year's pop the company should continue to produce those long-term returns.” — ▶ 7:30

While acknowledging Microsoft's strong performance driven by cloud and AI, the analyst expresses concern about its high valuation at 33 times earnings, which is pricey compared to other market stocks. Long-term investors may be happy, but shorter-term disappointment is possible if the stock pulls back.

“I still think long-term investors can be happy with their returns but shorter term there might be some disappointment if the stock gives back some of those gains and comes down to earth just a little” — ▶ 3:00

The YouTuber acknowledges Microsoft's significant investment in OpenAI and its integration of AI into products like Bing and Office 365, which could add substantial revenue. However, he notes the stock is already trading expensively at 33 times P/E and its large market cap limits future exponential growth, suggesting it's not an 'undiscovered play'.

“Shares are already trading a little expensive here at 33 times on a price to earnings basis and and is a 2.3 trillion dollar company we're talking about here for Microsoft to even 10x your investment it would have to come close to the size of the entire U.S economy” — ▶ 5:50

The YouTuber identifies Microsoft as one of only two companies with a perfect AAA credit rating from S&P. This strong credit profile, despite its choice to issue very long-dated bonds, signifies financial strength and responsibility, which should lead to outperformance.

“And the two companies left with that perfect credit score according to s p Johnson and Johnson took her jnj and Microsoft msft.” — ▶ 5:40

The YouTuber suggests hiding out in software and services names like Snowflake, as investors realize AI won't replace their services all at once. These stocks have rebounded from oversold conditions and could have further upside, especially as inflation reports moderate and Fed rate hike fears ease.

“The software and services names could have further to rebound. So you might hide out in some of those names like Data Dog, Snowflake, Palanteer, and the Cyber Security Group.” — ▶ 25:50

The YouTuber would consider picking up shares of Snowflake, placing it among the leaders in the software industry alongside ServiceNow and Shopify. These companies are seen as having competitive advantages and relative growth despite AI threats, justifying their higher valuations compared to other software firms.

“In these, I hold positions in both Service Now and Shopify, but would also consider picking up shares of Snowflake.” — ▶ Watch clip

Snowflake, a cloud data platform, helps enterprises manage massive datasets generated by the AI era. While shares are up modestly, the company's expected 28% revenue growth positions it for further upside as AI adoption accelerates.

“The shares are only up 8% over the past year, but again that 28% revenue growth expected this year can keep going and take this one higher as well.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is buying Snowflake shares, countering fears that AI will negatively impact enterprise software demand. They contend that software companies can achieve stronger growth by integrating AI agents, making the recent tech selloff an opportune time to buy.

“Adjusting stock valuations for revenue growth. I'm buying shares of Salesforce and Snowflake, ticker SN, on this theme.” — ▶ 15:20

The analyst suggests buying Snowflake due to its high growth rate, which justifies its higher valuation compared to other enterprise software companies. While it's more expensive on a price-to-earnings to growth basis, its significant sales and earnings growth potential make it an attractive option, especially given its recent discount.

“I do like Snowflake on that higher growth. I would probably go with some shares of ser of Salesforce, ticker CRM, and Snowflake, ticker C, SN right here, be able to play off of this uh this recent discount.” — ▶ 15:00

The YouTuber is holding his shares of Snowflake for long-term growth, noting its market leadership in data warehousing and its importance in the AI revolution. He expects sales to continue growing at over 20% and would be a buyer if the stock drops below $135 per share, as it still trades at about 11 times forecasted sales.

“I'm just holding my shares now, but would be a buyer at anything under 135 per share.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber identifies Snowflake as a buy, despite it being the riskiest, due to its significant growth potential in data management and analysis, a key component of the AI revolution. He notes its market leadership in data warehousing (21% share) and strong expected revenue growth (25% this year, 23% next), with improving non-GAAP profitability.

“Snowflake, ticker SN, is probably the riskiest of the group, but has the growth to go well beyond its $ 37 billion market size.” — ▶ 12:40

The YouTuber views Snowflake as a buying opportunity after a market overreaction to its strong earnings report, which caused a stock drop. He emphasizes its leadership in data analysis and management, crucial for AI software, and its impressive revenue growth (30-38% year-over-year) coupled with improving operating margins. He is buying on significant dips and adding quarterly, expecting a rebound and continued earnings growth.

“I think the perfect example of what is wrong with the market right now investor expectations just getting out way ahead of themselves even after a very strong earnings report very strong growth reported in its uh prior quarter earnings the stock dropped Like a Rock that's when I started buying shares here because I think that growth is going to continue.” — ▶ 41:00

The YouTuber suggests Snowflake could be a long-term buy, especially with rumors of its acquisition of Reka AI to expand its generative AI capabilities. While Q1 earnings growth is marginal, the company is expected to maintain 20%+ annual revenue growth, which should support shares long-term.

“but the company is expected to keep that growing Revenue at a 20% plus annual pace which should help keep supporting the shares long term.” — ▶ 21:00

The YouTuber includes Snowflake in his growth stock theme, noting its benefit from higher interest rates due to interest income on its cash holdings. He expects its valuation to further improve as overall interest rates decline, boosting growth stocks.

“I also like Palantir Technologies here pltr as well as snowflake ticker snow in that gross stock theme we recently talked about snowflake actually benefiting from higher interest rates as well just on all the cash it holds on its balance sheet.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber highlights Snowflake as benefiting from higher interest rates due to its substantial cash reserves and cash flow positive status. The company reported $73 million in interest income last quarter, which accounted for more than half of its earnings per share over the last year, indicating a significant boost from its cash holdings.

“That 150 million in interest income booked over this last year that that's added 45 cents per share in income that's more than half the company's 7070 cents per share profit.” — ▶ 11:20

The YouTuber is focusing on Snowflake, seeing AI software and cloud services as the next big boom in the AI trend, contrasting them with expensive chipmakers like Nvidia. He views the recent 19% pullback as an opportunity to buy into companies that will meet the demand for AI software.

“While the chipmakers like Nvidia remain extremely expensive that next big print and AI will be in the cloud services and the software stocks.” — ▶ 11:00

TMF offers a leveraged way to play the expected decline in interest rate hike expectations. As bond prices rise, TMF, which uses derivatives for 3x leverage, is expected to see significant returns. The YouTuber suggests this as a trade around key inflation dates rather than a long-term hold.

“A leveraged way to play this is through the Durexian daily 20-year Treasury 3x, the ticker TMF, which uses derivatives to get that leveraged return. A bounce back to $40 here would be a 15% return. But understand, this one is more appropriate as a trade along those important inflation dates, not as a long-term hold.” — ▶ 11:30

The YouTuber suggests buying TMF if the odds of a September rate cut increase, as this ETF tracks Treasury rates with triple leverage and would see its price rise with falling rates. This strategy aims to capitalize on anticipated lower interest rates.

“So, if you start to see the odds for that September rate cut increase, that means lower rates are on the way. And this Treasury Bull ETF could see the price jump.” — ▶ 5:00

Joseph Hogue identifies Zscaler as one of his top five cybersecurity stocks, recommending it as a direct investment after using the CIBR ETF as a research tool. He highlights its strong past performance, outperforming the thematic ETF, and its position as a leader in the essential cybersecurity theme, noting his strategy of buying dips to manage risk.

“The five cyber security stocks I like best. Crowdstrike holdings ticker CRWD. Palo Alto Networks P&W, Fortnet, FTN, Octa, OKTA, and Zcaler ticker ZS have returned an average 151% over the last 5 years versus an 87% return on that thematic ETF.” — ▶ 30:00

The YouTuber bought more Zscaler shares on a 33% drop, believing management's conservative forecast for 17% year-over-year earnings growth is overly cautious. He sees cybersecurity as a favorite theme, driven by AI demand, and Zscaler is one of the least expensive stocks in the industry.

“I own the stock and in fact bought another 120 shares on the drop because I think management is just being overly conservative with that forecast.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber likes Zscaler for its valuation, being one of the least expensive in the cybersecurity group on an adjusted P/E basis. He believes fears about AI threatening its business model are overblown, given strong growth forecasts, despite management's past issues with managing expectations.

“I like Zcaler and will be picking up more shares ahead of this earnings this week but it's probably the most at risk if AI is going to threaten the cyber security business model.” — ▶ 06:00

The YouTuber includes Zscaler in his cybersecurity holdings, suggesting it has high return potential but also higher risk. He maintains a positive outlook on cybersecurity stocks due to increasing demand driven by AI.

“Zcaler and Octa may have the highest return potential, but are also the higher risk.” — ▶ 13:50

The YouTuber is buying shares of Zscaler, citing its position as a cybersecurity stock that has rebounded from AI fears. He previously highlighted cybersecurity stocks as a good investment.

“I also highlighted cyber security stocks in that video and why I'm still buying shares of Palo Alto Networks P&W, Crowdstrike Holdings, CRWD, Fortnet, FTNT, and Zcaler ZS on the rebound from those AI fears.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is adding to positions in Zscaler, arguing that fears of AI replacing cybersecurity companies are overblown. He expects strong revenue growth to continue, and that upcoming earnings reports will confirm this, leading to a bounce in the stock.

“I own and am adding to positions in Zscaler, ticker ZS. Now, the trigger here in these stocks is going to be the quarterly earnings reports like we're coming into right now.” — ▶ 9:00

The YouTuber advises holding Zscaler, despite it being the hardest hit among his cybersecurity holdings, due to what he perceives as irrational fears about AI's impact. He argues that AI will create more cybersecurity challenges, driving demand for Zscaler's services. He sees the current low valuation as an opportunity for investors to re-enter the stock as revenues continue to grow.

“Investors are going to come back into these shares and bid them up from these crazy low valuations.” — ▶ 26:00

The YouTuber recommends Zscaler, which has fallen 59% from its peak due to misplaced fears that AI will negatively impact cybersecurity vendors. He argues that AI will actually boost cybersecurity revenue, citing expected revenue growth and a current price-to-sales ratio at a 60% discount to its 5-year average, suggesting significant upside.

“At a market cap of $22 billion, that means the shares now trade for just 6.75 times on a price to sales basis. A 60% discount to the average 5-year valuation, back up to even 12 times sales, would take Zscaler up 78% to $246 per share.” — ▶ 11:00

The YouTuber is buying Zscaler due to its significant discount (61% below its 5-year average valuation of 17.2x P/S) and strong competitive advantages in high-growth cybersecurity segments like cloud and SASE. Despite a 24% revenue growth, which is strong for the sector, its current valuation makes it one of the cheapest among its peers when adjusted for growth.

“So Zscaler hard to pass up on these numbers on this discount as well as that competitive advantage and it is definitely one I'm buying more more of here in April.” — ▶ 10:00

The speaker identifies Zscaler as another favorite cybersecurity stock, trading at a significant discount (one-quarter the price-to-sales of CrowdStrike). Despite increased competition in zero-trust, Zscaler is adapting its technology to secure AI agents, a critical and growing need. While it hasn't demonstrated its potential as much as CrowdStrike, its past track record in zero trust suggests it could be a long-term winner.

“I think there's a pretty good reason to expect that they will end up being one of the big winners in the space long term.” — ▶ 24:50

The YouTuber is buying Zscaler on the dip, despite its 52% plunge, arguing that fears of AI replacing cybersecurity are unfounded. He states that AI is actually increasing the attack surface for hackers, leading to a boom in AI-generated attacks, which will translate to higher revenue growth for cybersecurity firms. Zscaler is expected to post 20%+ revenue growth and strong double-digit earnings growth, and while not cheap at 38x earnings, it's significantly lower than its 90x valuation last October.

“And against those fears that AI could replace cyber security companies, we've actually seen AI increasing the attack surface for hackers and a boom in the number of AI generated attacks.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber includes Zscaler as a favored cybersecurity stock, part of a broader theme of increased spending on cybersecurity due to escalating global cyber threats. He suggests that all major cybersecurity names are good buys.

But instead of trying to time that rebound, I just put them a little bit more in each month, put them on a monthly buy list, and hold long-term.” — ▶ 11:20

Kieran Francis picks Zscaler, emphasizing cybersecurity as a critical trend. He highlights Zscaler's zero-trust security model, which is essential for modern distributed cloud environments. The company is riding the cloud market's 20% annual growth, beating it handily, and trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 8, significantly cheaper than competitors.

“Zscaler offers something called zero trust security. Security used to be all about firewalls. It's like a moat. You keep all the bad guys out and you stay safe inside. But nowadays with the cloud, there is no wall anymore.” — ▶ 27:00

Joseph Hogue added to his Zscaler (ZS) position, viewing the stock as being in 'value territory' after a significant sell-off. He expects strong 23% revenue growth for the year and believes AI will be an upside catalyst for cybersecurity stocks, potentially boosting revenue. He sees the current dip as an opportunity to buy into a company with solid revenue growth.

“Zscaler posts solid revenue growth and now is in value territory as well. and I took advantage of the sell-off to add $25,000 to my investment last week” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber identifies Zscaler as a high-conviction buy, noting its 49% drop from its peak as an overreaction. He highlights its leadership in zero-trust architecture and AI security, combined with a low valuation relative to its 20%+ sales growth. He believes an inflection in profitability will drive the stock significantly higher, with analysts projecting an 82% average upside.

“Folks, this company is leading with its zero trust architecture and a really strong approach in that AI security. Zscaler has the second lowest valuation in our group on a 20% plus sales growth.” — ▶ 14:00

“I would be picking up the shares on any drop but I want to wait for a little bit better price valuation than this one” — ▶ 10:30

The YouTuber previously recommended Zscaler but now finds its valuation too high at 23 times price-to-sales, despite its strong growth and well-run company status. He would consider buying if the price-to-sales ratio drops to 10-15x, and would add more below 10x.

“it's still just it's too difficult for me to to recommend anything trading at 23 times on a price to sales basis so this is one one of them I would watch... if it gets back down into you know 10 to 15 times price to sales territory I might I might start buying into it again and definitely down if it ever gets down below 10 times on a price to sales basis I will I'll add more shares there” — ▶ 23:30
