ONEOK: Don't Chase The Price Or Yield And Forget Valuation (Downgrade)
ONEOK is downgraded to "Hold" as valuation limits clear double-digit annual total return potential despite strong fundamentals. OKE delivered record Q2 2026 results with 52.8% YoY revenue growth, robust NGL throughput, and raised 2026 EBITDA guidance to $8.35 billion. Growth is underpinned by data center-driven demand, new supply contracts, and a pipeline of expansion projects slated through 2028.

Marvell: Why I'm Buying The Market's Fear
Marvell Technology shares crashed 10% post-Q2 earnings despite solid results and raised FY27/FY28 guidance. The crash is because, following a 163% YTD rally, the stock was priced for perfection with no room for slip-up, especially not management's guidance for softer margins. Gross margin compression, due to higher ASIC mix and competitive pricing, is a concern we share, but one which we think for now has been priced in.

COPX: The Copper Shortage Trade Has One Major Weakness
The Global X Copper Miners ETF (COPX) is rated Hold, with a 0% to 8% expected total return over 6–12 months. COPX's recent 23.39% monthly surge reflects tariff-driven copper scarcity in the U.S., but a global surplus projection tempers near-term optimism. Miners' earnings are improving on higher copper prices, yet COPX's elevated valuation and volatility limit its appeal for new entries.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Q3: Margins Matter More Than AI Orders
Similar to Dell, I'm concerned the focus with Hewlett Packard Enterprise may be on margins, since the Street largely anticipated a beat and raise. HPE booked $1.8B of new AI orders in Q2 alone. I need that backlog to keep climbing, and I want to see a mix tilted toward enterprise and sovereign customers. HPE is guiding to at least $2B of cumulative AI-networking orders in FY26. I want that pipeline to convert without giving up the segment's 21.6% margin.
