Copart: The Anti-AI Diversification With Solid Fundamentals
Copart remains a compelling anti-AI diversification play with defensive qualities despite a 31% stock decline versus the benchmark's 9% gain. I appreciate CPRT's low-leverage capital structure and high-margin business model, supporting steady, if slower, bottom-line growth. The expanding auto salvage and dismantling market, projected to grow at a 6% CAGR to $118B by 2034, provides a durable tailwind for CPRT.

Nanobiotix: A Highly Speculative Bet On A Potential Radiotherapy Platform
Nanobiotix is rated a strong speculative Buy, driven by risk-adjusted upside from its JNJ-1900 radioenhancer platform in partnership with Janssen.
