XPeng: Morphing Into The Chinese Tesla

  XPeng delivered a standout Q3'25, with sales up over 100% and EV deliveries surging 149% year-over-year. XPEV's affordable Mona EV lineup drove record volumes, while the company pushes into robotaxi and humanoid robot markets, boosting its tech profile. Despite strong sales and improving margins, XPEV remains unprofitable, but forecasts a small Q4 profit and holds a solid cash position. Shares trade at a low valuation versus peers, offering an attractive risk/reward as XPEV evolves into a global tech leader beyond EVs. Only a year ago, the Chinese EV market appeared overly competitive, now, players like  Xpeng Inc.  ( XPEV ) are expanding far beyond just manufacturing vehicles. The company reported a solid Q3'25 with EV volumes far above prior year levels, but the  real excitement is in the robotaxi and humanoid robots opportunities. My  investment thesis  is Bullish, though one buying now has already missed a lot of the easy money over the last year or s...

Hims & Hers Health: Roller Coaster Gift

Image
Update - Nov. 13, 2025 Hims & Hers Health has slipped below key support around $40. The online health and wellness platform is getting incredibly cheap at just 3x '26 sales estimates of $2.8 billion. The company even just launched Labs, a preventative care lab test.  Original article posted on Oct. 20 Hims & Hers Health launched menopause and low testosterone products in the last month, expanding its addressable market and supporting its $6.5 billion 2030 revenue target. Recent product launches, including at-home lab testing, are expected to boost ARPU and drive significant revenue growth for HIMS in coming years. The stock market over reacted to planned stock sells by the CEO. Current weakness in HIMS shares presents a buying opportunity, with the stock trading at just 4x projected 2026 sales and robust long-term potential. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Upstart: Artificial Pain

Image

LendingClub: New Cycle Highs With A Hint Of Disappointment

Image
Update - Nov. 11, 2025 At the recent Investor Day, LendingClub outlined a medium term path to boost total loan originations to ~$20 billion. The fintech would finally top the prior peak levels and double current originations.  The stock is cheap at 12x '26 EPS targets. LendingClub has the opportunity to push financials and the stock if far higher levels. The biggest concern is that the company doesn't move fast enough.  Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Rivian: Time To Thrive

Image
  Rivian Automotive is poised for major growth with the upcoming R2 SUV launch, targeting a broader, more affordable EV market segment. RIVN's strong Q3 results, robust technology initiatives, and partnerships with Volkswagen and Mind Robotics highlight its evolution into a tech-driven EV leader. The company has ample liquidity, ambitious production expansion plans, and trades at a significant valuation discount to peers like Tesla and Lucid. With the R2 launch and upcoming Autonomous & AI Day as catalysts, RIVN is a compelling buy on any weakness before its next growth phase. Rivian Automotive, Inc.  ( RIVN ) is making huge progress towards launching the R2 SUV, vastly broadening the market opportunity. The new vehicle allows the EV manufacturer to enter mainstream auto with a list price below  the current average selling prices. My  investment thesis  remains ultra-Bullish with the launch of the R2 and other tech. Initiatives reinvigorating the growth stor...

Snap: Moving Beyond Ads, Thankfully!

Image
 Update - Nov. 5, 2025 Perplexity AI deal completely changes the investment story when combined with subscriptions. The AHs trade at $9 is just the start of the AI rally.  -Starting in early 2026, Perplexity will appear in the chat interface for Snapchat users around the world, the companies said. -Perplexity will pay Snap $400M over one year, through a combination of cash and equity, as the company rolls the service out globally. Snap expects revenue from the partnership to begin contributing in 2026. Original article posted on Aug. 8 Snap's post-earnings slump is overdone; the market is ignoring strong subscription growth and undervaluing future revenue streams. The social messaging subscription business is gaining traction, with nearly 16 million subscribers and new higher-priced tiers like Lens+ and Platinum boosting potential revenue. Despite weak ad growth, Snap's Q3 guidance beats consensus, and the stock trades at a deep discount compared to peers like Pinterest and Re...
