QQQI: Great Fund, Wrong Time To Buy
NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF remains a robust income vehicle, leveraging a novel options overlay to deliver strong yields and partial upside capture. QQQI's current entry point is unattractive due to elevated valuations (blended P/OI ~50x) and extreme concentration in top NASDAQ names. Market volatility and sector rotation away from technology heighten short-term risks and diminish forward-looking performance prospects for QQQI.

UTF: Still A Buy But Not The Bargain It Was
Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund (UTF) remains a buy, supported by AI-driven power demand and a 7.1% yield, despite a shrinking NAV discount. UTF's diversified portfolio, with 83% in equities and 17% in fixed income, provides income stability but may limit long-term capital appreciation. UTF underperforms more concentrated peers like KYN due to global diversification and a focus on income, but offers consistent, sustainable payouts.

SM Energy: The Operation Is Sound, But I'm Skeptical About The Backdrop
SM Energy (SM) merger integration has exceeded expectations, with increased synergy targets and operational outperformance in Q1.

SM trades at a deep earnings discount to peers, but high debt keeps its EV/EBITDA elevated; FCF yield stands at 8.2%.

Fabrinet: A Compelling AI Infrastructure Opportunity
Fabrinet is a critical supplier to the AI and data center ecosystem, yet its stock has lagged AI peers, up just 0.7% YTD. I see recent multiple compression as unwarranted; FN's robust ROIC (mid-30s to low-40s) and sequential growth in optical communications support a Buy rating. Modeling a Q4 revenue beat ($1.31B vs. Street $1.27B) and adjusted EPS of $4.02, I expect a strong report and positive outlook for FY27.
