undrey/iStock via Getty Images As the market pivots from a risk-off attitude and back to a growth mindset, one of the best ways that investors can position themselves for upside is to look for single-stock rebound plays. Though the S&P 500 is now back into positive territory for the year, plenty of individual stocks, particularly small- and mid-cap growth stocks, remain in deep value territory. Rent the Runway ( RENT ), a clothing subscription service, has been substantially hard hit. The stock is down ~35% since the start of the year, even as growth rates have seen meaningful recent acceleration. Data by YCharts I wrote a "Buy" article on Rent the Runway in 2024, when the stock was trading in the ~$20s. Needless to say, this was a poor call at the time. However, such a deep fall in share prices also warrants a look with fresh eyes. Today, while I certainly acknowledge the risks that Rent the Runway shoulders (including heightened inventory, a cash-constrained balance sheet, and thin margins), I also see a company that is regaining momentum with consumers and has a chance to scale. With this in mind, I'm dropping my rating on this stock to "N eutral." The company just reported Q4 results, and though growth far exceeded expectations, investors soured on expectations for thin margins yet again in FY26. To me, Rent the Runway is a "watch and wait" stock: I want to see more proof that the company can boost its margins and continue investing in inventory at the same time. Growth acceleration buoyed by a deeper bench of inventory Let's start first with the positives of Rent the Runway. Amid a very tough retail environment, Rent the Runway's active subscribers have grown tremendously over the past year. Take a look at the quarterly trends below: Rent the Runway Active Sub Trends (Rent the Runway Q4 Earnings Deck) In Q4 (the fiscal quarter ending in January), the company's active subs grew 20% y/y to 184 million. Growth accelerated eight points versus 12% y/y growth in Q3 a...

Verizon Communications ( NYSE: VZ ) shares fell 0.14% Tuesday to $45.36, extending the losing streak to seven sessions. Over the preceding six sessions, the stock declined more than 8.06%, compared with a 4.61% gain in the S&P 500 Index . Despite the recent weakness, the shares are still up over 8.86% year to date, outperforming the index’s 0.60% rise. Seeking Alpha analyst Bela Lakos maintained a Hold rating on VZ , citing attractive fundamentals supported by strong Q4 subscriber growth and a targeted $5B in annual cost savings. However, the analyst flagged risks from rising debt levels and an uncertain interest rate environment, which could weigh on profitability. While the company’s free cash flow outlook and shareholder returns remain solid, the current valuation suggests limited upside, though income-focused investors may be drawn to its 5.6% dividend yield. Meanwhile, Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating also supports a Hold stance, with a score of 3.49 out of 5. The grading reflects a mixed profile for Verizon Communications , with an A+ for profitability indicating strong margins and earnings stability, a D for growth pointing to weak expansion, and a B+ for valuation proposing the stock is fairly priced with limited upside. Separately, Wall Street and Seeking Alpha analysts have assigned Buy ratings to Verizon Communications . However, Quant scores of 3.76 and 3.54 indicate the ratings are approaching Hold territory, suggesting a more cautious stance on the stock.
