1) Porch Group Inc (PRCH) (Rating: B, Multi-Day)

Industry Group: Technology Services, Market Cap: $760m, Float: 70m, Short Interest: 19%, Days to Cover: 4.7, Exchange: NASDAQ

Catalyst: Huge Beat on EPS ($0.08 vs est. -$0.12) Strong Beat on Revs, Raised FY25 Revs Guide. 2 Analyst Upgrades so far this morning, High Short Interest, Reasonable float. Decent Technical Chart, will really move over $8.50 if it can get going.

2) Oscar Health Inc (OSCR) (Rating: B, Multi-Day)

Industry Group: Managed Healthcare, Market Cap: $2.8b, Float: 180m, Short Interest: 9.7%, Days to Cover: 3.7, Exchange: NYSE

Catalyst: Solid Beat on EPS ($0.92 vs est. $0.81) Beat on Revs, Slight raise on FY25 Guide. Always interested in this name as it is run by the Kushner Family (Trump). Good technical chart here with neglect and meaningful short interest.

Honorable Mention to:

UBER - I’m looking at this for a bounce today around $80. The Robotaxi theme is very big now and UBER are at the center of it. Their Results were quite robust though the headline Revs were a fraction light. Guide is solid and the bullish commentary by management on AV Taxi expansion and partnership with Waymo is bullish for this growing theme.

NBIS - Nice setup on this AI theme stock. They announced Jeff Bezos has invested in the company via Bezos Expeditions. Bezos investment specifically relates to Toloka a subsidiary of NBIS. NVDA also backed the company recently. Worth watching as a stock that can make a sustained move. Nice technical setup.

DIS - Strong earnings in almost all KPIs. Announced plans for new Disney Theme Park in Middle East. Hitting the 200MA here right at the $100 round number. 9% is a big move for a stock like Disney but this is a potential turn around with positive earnings and raising guidance + New Product (Theme Park).

Market Awareness

Response to the overnight news that talks between US & China were due to begin imminently is being met with lackluster reaction so far. We also have more conflict emerging in Pakistan/India. There is little point in over thinking things here from a market perspective. We haven’t broken through the 200 Moving Average (yet). We are still in a tight range. We have the FOMC today which is widely expected to be no change.

As mentioned the last few days I am really just looking at the individual names now. Unless something occurs that actually moves the market strongly I am not overly interested in every tweet or news flash that is going on.

PS: There are many ways to trade stocks in play. It does not have to be the one that keeps going straight up and sometimes it doesn’t even have to be day one of the catalyst. Everyone must find a setup, timeframe and method that works for them. This list is supposed to educate on the criteria I use and the methods in which I find Stocks in Play. Yours may differ and that is completely okay.
