Summary

S/t momentum has turned positive… as most are quietly waiting for TSLA and GOOGL earnings in AH.


notable stock: ENPH

Earnings (Tues’ AH
EPS 69cents vs 63est. Rev’ y/y +19.7% to $363M vs 359est. Guidance was weak.

… the stock remains abject horror, as red team care little for solar, which simply isn’t competitive.

notable air taxi: EVTL

… as attention continues to increase in this niche sector.
I’d still favour ACHR or JOBY.

notable stock: QS

One for the Oct’ shopping list.

notable steel: CLF

Yes, its s/t overbought, but the recent bullish breakout is what really matters. Beyond the $12s… secondary target 22/23s, as looks probable by next spring. Even the bold will arguably wait until the seasonally weak Sept/Oct’.

Bonus chart: QBTS

Canaccord, buy, $20
I like the company, but again… not at this time/price.

I really should get up and cook.
