very good/E+ via Getty Images Summary I am positive about SOLV Energy ( MWH ). My thesis is that the market may still be viewing MWH like a normal EPC contractor, when it really isn’t. Its installed base creates a stickier O&M revenue stream, and the current backlog gives strong near-term earnings visibility. As projects get larger, I think scale should also help MWH win more repeat and adjacent work. At the current valuation, it is too cheap vs. peers. MWH is not just an EPC story The first thing to note is that MWH is not just a solar EPC business. MWH does not simply build a plant and disappear afterwards. MWH benefits from the full 35-year life of a power plant, and that matters because it changes how the earnings stream should be viewed. So far, MWH has already built more than 500 power plants with a total capacity of more than 21 GW, and it is under contract to manage more than 20 GW across 150 operating plants. This tells us that this is an installed base business with a recurring revenue stream, which makes it a higher-quality business vs. a normal EPC player. Also, once a customer relies on MWH to keep the plant running well, the relationship becomes harder to replace. The unit economics of the recurring service business are also very healthy. On the recent call, management said illustrative third-party unit economics show an average $0.82 per watt EPC build can translate into a lifecycle revenue opportunity of $1.19. By my math, that is ~45% higher revenue opportunity over the life of the asset, and they also said the current O&M portfolio alone could represent ~$7.4 billion of customer spend over a 35-year life, while only about $540 million of that is currently in backlog. This is a massive gap that suggests the reported backlog does not capture the full earnings runway. For perspective, MWH’s FY2025 revenue is $2.5 billion. Continuing on the point of backlog, the current $8 billion backlog (as of FY2025) is enough to cover MWH’s 2026 guidance of $3.72 b...
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has had a rough few months. The stock is down over 30% from its all-time high, and has seen a much deeper sell-off than most of its peers. However, I think there could be a turnaround coming.

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has had a rough few months. The stock is down over 30% from its all-time high, and has seen a much deeper sell-off than most of its peers. However, I think there could be a turnaround coming. On April 29, investors will get the next round of news from Microsoft regarding the current state of its business -- that is, its fiscal 2026's third quarter (ended March 31). I think the results from that report could be exactly what Microsoft needs to turn its fortunes around, making the stock a no-brainer buy right now. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
Nvidia is on a hot streak. Nvidia shares were up 1.1% at $198.75 in morning trading. If the move holds, it will mark 11 consecutive days of gains, its longest winning streak on record based on data going back to 1999, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Hiroshi Watanabe Monica DiCenso, head of global investment opportunities at JPMorgan Private Bank, sees the recent market rally as an opportunity for investors to reposition portfolios toward financial ( XLF ) and healthcare stocks ( XLV ), two sectors she believes are poised for growth despite negative sentiment. In an interview with CNBC, DiCenso pointed to strong fundamentals underpinning the market, noting that double-digit earnings growth is expected for a sixth consecutive quarter—something not seen in over five years. “This rally is a gift,” DiCenso said, advising clients who felt panicked during recent volatility to use this moment to shift away from overweight technology positions. She recommended moving capital into sectors that have underperformed but show promise, particularly financials ( XLF ) and healthcare ( XLV ). On financial stocks specifically, DiCenso highlighted a benign rate environment and the prospect of deregulation as reasons to lean into the sector. “I look at an area like financials, still underperforming… sentiment has been pretty bad there,” she said, suggesting that negative sentiment often creates contrarian opportunities for disciplined investors. DiCenso also made the case for healthcare and biotech ( IBB ), ( XBI ), ( FBT ) as secondary beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom that has largely favored technology stocks. “How do you not believe drugs come to market faster with more accurate results?” she asked, encouraging investors to look beyond the dominant AI players to find growth in drug development and medical technology applications. Regarding private credit, which has faced negative press recently, DiCenso noted that sophisticated institutional investors are viewing the current fear as an opportunity to add to positions. She emphasized that patient, longer-term investors can find value where others see liquidity concerns but cautioned that understanding the asset class is essential. “It’s the thing is you just got...

Monica Schipper/Getty Images Entertainment Capitalizing on the success of its first ad campaign with the Hollywood actress, American Eagle ( AEO ) has launched a second promotion with Sydney Sweeney to highlight its summer shorts. “Syd for Short: American Eagle Jean Shorts” introduces “Syd,” a more casual dimension of the actress in American Eagle jean shorts. “There is no summer uniform more timeless than a pair of jean shorts, and this season, American Eagle is redefining the iconic essential through the lens of Sydney Sweeney’s effortless style,” the company said in a statement. While the first campaign with the actress generated significant controversy, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” was an unmitigated success for the company, boosting its brand, driving total revenue up 6% year-over-year, and more than doubling the company’s share price over the following six months from the campaign’s launch. “The American Eagle Sydney Sweeney campaign was intended to be a brand and business reset, and it has. Sydney Sweeney sells great jeans. She is a winner, and in just 6 weeks, the campaign has generated unprecedented new customer acquisition,” said Craig Brommers, chief marketing officer for American Eagle during the company’s second-quarter earnings call. Moreover, in the wake of Q2 results, American Eagle ( AEO ) shares shot up as much as 38%. With American Eagle ( AEO ) shares down 34% from their January peak, the company hopes a summer ad campaign will reinvigorate both the brand and the share price. In its most recent quarterly results, the retailer issued an underwhelming outlook for the year, taking into account lingering tariff-related pressures on profit margins and mid-single-digit increase in comparable sales. For now, however, the news of a second campaign with the popular actress launched shares as much as 6% higher at Wednesday’s open.

Earnings Call Insights: Vince Holding Corp. (VNCE) Q4 fiscal 2025 Management View "I'm incredibly proud of the strong operating results we are announcing today, highlighting the exceptional momentum we delivered at the end of the year that has continued into the start of fiscal 2026," Brendan Hoffman (CEO & Director) said. Hoffman said direct-to-consumer stayed strong after the holidays: "For the fourth quarter, sales in our direct-to-consumer business increased about 10% compared to last year" and "for the overall quarter, sales were up nearly 5% compared to last year and profitability outpacing the high end of our prior guidance range." Hoffman detailed the Saks Global disruption: "We are especially proud of this performance given the disruption we experienced with developments from Saks Global, which presented a headwind to sales of approximately $2 million in the quarter," adding, "Saks Global recently represented less than 7% of our total sales" and "we believe any change in penetration from this one partner going forward will be offset by strength elsewhere in the channel." Hoffman said fiscal 2025 included tariff pressure but grew: "Fiscal 2025 results... delivered sales growth of over 2% and adjusted EBITDA growth of about 8% despite contending with approximately $8 million of incremental tariff costs," and added, "we acted swiftly, diversifying our sourcing across Asia and globally" and "implemented strategic pricing increases while maintaining unit sales." Hoffman outlined fiscal 2026 growth investments and category expansion: "We are exploring opportunities to continue to invest in the customer experience" including "remodels and new store openings," and "expand drop ship to additional categories" including "handbags, tailored clothing, belts and accessories" in spring 2026, which he said creates "minimal inventory risk." Hoffman highlighted men’s penetration goals and international expansion: "We ended the year with men's representing approximately 24% o...

England have a long way to go yet before booking flights to Brazil, but Esme Morgan, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Lucia Kendall impressed against Spain Everybody keep calm. England sit top of their qualifying group with a 100% record after beating Spain , but there remains a very long way to go before anyone can start booking flights to South America for 2027 … Let us cast aside that sensible advice, though, and begin to look at the players who enhanced their prospects of selection because, whether England continue this winning streak or not, their target is to win a first world title and there is no hiding from that challenge. So who has staked a claim? Of the 11 players who started at Wembley on Tuesday, eight look nailed on to be in the first-choice XI for the World Cup, let alone the squad. That octet of Hannah Hampton, Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood, Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Alessia Russo will be central to Sarina Wiegman’s plans for Brazil, together with senior players such as Leah Williamson and Ella Toone when they return after injuries, plus the “clutch moment” saviour that is Chloe Kelly, who was on the bench.

Alistair Berg Nvidia ( NVDA ) has been upgraded to Buy as signs emerge that the AI trade is regaining momentum, while Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) receives a Strong Buy rating following robust Q1 earnings and raised guidance. On the downgrade front, Accenture ( ACN ) has been moved to Hold due to slowing bookings momentum and concerns about near-term growth acceleration. Similarly, Coca-Cola ( KO ) has been downgraded from Buy to Hold after outperforming the broader market, with analysts now seeing limited upside at current levels. Upgrades Nvidia ( NVDA ): Upgrade to Buy by Deep Value Investing . The analyst believes the market has shifted back into risk-on mode, positioning Nvidia as the most compelling trade on AI despite the stock barely moving over the past six months. “I'm noticing early (strong) signs that suggest the AI trade may be back at full throttle. With Nvidia Corporation ( NVDA ) up for 9 consecutive days, I considered revisiting my thesis on the company after my earlier downgrade ... I have no doubt the company will keep beating and raising this year.” Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ): Upgrade to Strong Buy by Edmund Ingham . Following a robust Q1 with revenues up nearly 10% year-over-year to $24.1 billion and raised full-year 2026 sales guidance above $100 billion, the analyst views JNJ as the cleanest growth story in healthcare with minimal near-term patent risk. “JNJ has excellent growth products, capable of securing many new approvals in multi-billion dollar markets in the coming years, very few patent expired products hemorrhaging revenues, one or two exciting new pipeline assets, and if needed, funds to splash on double-digit billion M&A deals, I'd speculate.” Downgrades Accenture ( ACN ): Downgrade Buy to Hold by Redfox Capital Ideas . The analyst cites slowing bookings momentum and mixed pricing trends as reasons for the downgrade, noting that near-term growth acceleration appears unlikely despite record bookings of $22.1 billion. “The main reason I c...
