UPS Alibaba: Technical Bottom Is Near - Diversified Commerce/Cloud Growth Prospects
Alibaba's aggressive investments in quick commerce/fulfillment capabilities have driven accelerated double digits revenue growth against the mature e-commerce segment, albeit pressuring EBITA margins. The same has been observed in the AI/cloud capabilities and the higher capex trends triggering the negative Free Cash Flow generation, albeit mitigated by the rich balance sheet. These headwinds have contributed to BABA's overly done meltdown and discounted P/E of 15.92x, with the stock now offering a more than doubling upside potential to my LTPT of $277.80.
BABA SPYI: I'm Still Bullish, And This Time Volatility Is Doing The Work
NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI) has surpassed $10B AUM, driven by strong inflows and investor demand for high-yield income solutions. SPYI's two-leg options strategy enables robust monthly distributions (11.86% yield) while retaining partial upside, outperforming peers JEPI and XYLD since inception. The ETF's tax-efficient structure, blending Section 1256 contracts and return of capital, enhances after-tax income for taxable investors.
SPYI Microsoft Won't Be This Cheap For Long
Microsoft is still rated as a Strong Buy as valuation nears five-year lows and the long-term uptrend remains intact, demonstrating tremendous resilience. MSFT faces heightened AI-driven competitive threats, but its integrated software stack and robust free cash flow margins provide robust defense. AI monetization is nascent, and Copilot seat adoption and more cost-efficient models could drive future upside, especially as token-maxxing pressures mount.

GeneDx: Why I Think The Selloff Went Too Far
GeneDx shares have collapsed 65% since November, but I assign a buy rating due to strong volume growth and undervaluation versus peers. Despite a 34% YoY volume increase, revenue growth lagged at 27% due to lower reimbursement rates from a shift to genome testing. WGS owns one of the largest rare disease genomic databases, creating a durable competitive advantage and potential for AI-driven value creation.

Weibo: A FCF Machine Trading Far Below Its Balance Sheet
That operating business generates roughly $450M in annual free cash flow off 562M monthly active users, at a 2.26x EV/FCF multiple. Weibo trades at a $1.80B market cap while holding $2.34B in net balance sheet value (cash, investments, minus debt), meaning the market is effectively giving away the entire operating business. The discount exists due to China risk, a controlling shareholder (SINA) that prefers dividends over buybacks, and fears of platform decline, none of which hold up at this valuation.
