Texas-based Murphy Oil stock gets a buy rating for my initial coverage. The firm's growth could be fueled by penetration of the Ivory Coast and Vietnam regions, where it already has a presence. Strong profit margins vs. peers, a high dividend yield, low leverage risk, and undervaluation all make for positive factors on this stock.

I reiterate my buy rating on Global-E Online Ltd. due to favorable demand, product innovation, and efficient scaling through a partner-led GTM strategy. Recent tariff shocks have reinforced GLBE's value proposition, turning uncertainty into a strong growth catalyst, especially for businesses needing reliable international trade solutions.
