Standing alongside Orbán on Tuesday, the US vice-president said : “The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy-independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers. And they’ve done it all because they hate this guy.” Continue reading...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images Surely enough, my bullish thesis hasn't played out yet. The stock underperformed the benchmark since my last article , but I am not too worried. Quite frankly, if anything, I see tailwinds developing favorably. OSCR: The stock dropped 7% since my last article (Seeking Alpha) I'd also like to say that my timing wasn't terrible. It's just that the stock couldn't maintain its positive momentum. All the rallies were sold off. But what I still love about the company is that Oscar Health ( OSCR ) is a high-growth name, which offers a defensive approach. Obviously there are risks to consider, but recently, management guided for significant revenue growth. Well, if that were to play out, Oscar Health would trade at about a 10x earnings multiple versus the FY2027 EPS estimate of $1.35. I don't think that's expensive. So, my rating remains unchanged. I still view it as a "Buy." Here's why. The CEO Bought The Stock You know there's a saying that management may sell for many reasons, but they buy for one. I also would love to point out that actions speak louder than words. So, seeing OSCR's CEO buying $12 million of the stock , well, that definitely raises confidence. OSCR: CEO Buys the Stock (Secform4.com) Personally, I think this purchase was at the right time. It's been a while since anyone from management bought the stock . But not only that. Oscar Health is down 33% over the past 6 months. Could this ignite a rally? Well, the stock surged 13% over the following trading day after the news. But in my honest opinion, it needs to meet the guidance to break the downtrend. High Expectations, But Can It Materialize? Now, what I think could definitely move the needle for the stock is accelerated revenue growth. Gladly, that's what management expects. Quite honestly, they have surprised me with a significant, high-growth guidance for 2026 . Could it come to fruition? I think that's possible. What I'd love to point out is that they have b...
