Today in Focus: RXT
Trading Services I Use:
StockAnalysis.com - I’ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it’s a no brainer. They’ve given me a discount code if you use IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.
Situational Awareness:
Market Condition: Bullish
Commentary: Relatively muted but green open. Glad to not see another big gap up. Tomorrow we have the FED Decision. That is the natural position to shake people out, start a period of chop or alternatively lock people out with a strong move upward if Warsh decides to go full dovish.
Don’t be surprised to see some choppiness kicking in here in the market today. Patience is important here. We can easily resolve to a choppy market here. Wait for catalysts and good buy points to steadily build out exposure. Tempting to try to get in heavy long after such a move in the QQQ but be patient.
SPCX has rallied hard since IPO. Options are trading for it today along with Leveraged ETFs. I think it’s potentially going to squeeze and should be watched as a bellwether. Not a setup for me but it’s likely going to be a market leading indicator for a while. PLTR was like this previously.
Upcoming Earnings:
After Hours: LZB
Before Open: JBL

RXT: Signed definitive Agreement with AMD to deploy 30MW of AMD Compute
Key Metrics RXT: Industry Group: Software - Infrastructure, Market Cap: 1.85B, Float: 96.35M, Short Interest: 15.93%, Days to Cover: 0.78, Sales Y/Y TTM: -0.49%, EPS Y/Y TTM: 52.70%, Earnings: May 07 BMO, Exchange: NASDAQ
Catalyst:
This is essentially the validation and operationalization of a previously announced MOU with AMD. RXT is a turnaround and a structural pivot into Governed/Sovereign AI Infrastructure. This is the differentiator that RXT are going for vs commoditized rentable infra provided by hyperscalers. RXT are essentially the customer in this deal but AMD are aligned with them and this seems to me to be more than just a total story.
I have concerns that they may use this price advance to do a stock offering. The company is heavily in debt but on the positive side have managed well and are FCF positive now. There is room for additional catalysts here if RXT get named customers on board to fund the build out. Strong continuation chart, high short interest.
