Black Friday Briefing: My Official Optimus Playbook

Dear Reader,

You may have heard that Tesla is planning to launch a brand new product called “Optimus”.

Elon Musk called it “mind blowing” and has already launched his biggest ever insider buy of Tesla stock.

Others have dubbed it “terrifying”.

But whatever your views on Elon Musk and the seemingly inevitable rise of robotics, you absolutely need to know about a way you could make 10 times your money as Optimus launches, without ever buying a single share of Tesla.

Everything you need to know is laid out right here – including the name and ticker of one of the stocks poised to benefit.

See, I think almost everyone owns all the wrong stocks to profit from Optimus, which Elon Musk and Tesla insiders are racing to launch very soon.

All 10 of the biggest money managers in the world have followed my institutional firm’s work. That includes professionals from huge names like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.

And yet a lot of folks I talk to on Wall Street have the Optimus story all wrong.

That’s why I’m sharing my official Optimus Playbook today.

Make no mistake: there’s no stopping Elon Musk right now – and his plans have huge implications for the stock market. Tesla may never trade at this price again.

And if you want to capitalize, there’s one stock I think needs to be on your radar right now.

I’d like to give you all the details today. And while my team has charged up to $100,000 to Wall Street for a single report on a situation like this…

Today – as part of our annual Black Friday event  – I’m giving the name of this stock away free of charge, with no subscription required.

You still have time to get in. But not long.

That’s why I’m stepping forward to tell you today…

Buy THIS stock before Tesla’s Optimus project goes live.

Best,

Rob Spivey

Wednesday’s Bonus Story

Written by Thomas Hughes. Published 11/20/2025. 

Lowe's shopping carts outside of store.

Key Points

  • Lowe’s outperformed its competitors and is well-positioned for a strong 2026.
  • Cash flow sustains a healthy capital return, including dividends and buybacks.
  • Analysts and institutional activity point to a robust rebound and potential for new highs in 2026.

Lowe’s (NYSE: LOW) reported mixed results and tepid guidance, yet the report sparked a price rebound and may signal a buying opportunity for investors.

Although modest, the results and outlook largely affirm analysts’ expectations and underscore the company’s solid cash flow and capital returns, which are supporting the stock.

The takeaway is that headwinds persist, but this retail company is sustaining growth, maintaining margins, and building value for investors.

As a result, the stock is likely to revert to the high end of its existing trading range and could potentially set new highs in early to mid-2026.

Lowe's stock chart showing support at a critical level.

Lowe’s Takes Share in Q3, Outperforms Competitor

Lowe’s posted a decent Q3 despite macroeconomic headwinds and a milder 2025 hurricane season. The company reported $20.81 billion in revenue, up 3.2% — outpacing competitor Home Depot by roughly 45 basis points, though revenue fell slightly short of consensus.

The growth was underpinned by a 0.4% comparable-sales increase (comps), also ahead of Home Depot, and by strength in services and the professional business. Services grew in double digits, and the professional segment is expected to accelerate from Q3’s solid levels thanks to recent acquisitions.

Margins were mixed but generally positive: gross margin widened, though gains were offset by higher operating costs.

The net result beat expectations: adjusted EPS of $3.06 rose 5.6% year over year, outpacing the 3.2% revenue gain and topping MarketBeat’s consensus by $0.11.

Importantly, cash flow remained sufficient to support the balance sheet and capital returns despite the recent acquisition, positioning the business for strength in 2026.

Guidance was mixed but ultimately investor-friendly. While it came in below consensus, the revisions reflect management’s improved confidence and broadly align with analysts’ forecasts, easing market concerns about capital return payments.

As of mid-November, the company’s dividend yield stands at an attractive 2.75% annually, complemented by share buybacks that further boost returns.

The company did not repurchase shares in Q3, allocating cash to the acquisition, but has reduced share count by more than 1.0% year-to-date and is expected to resume buybacks in coming quarters.

Analysts Forecast Robust Rebound for Lowe’s Stock

Analysts’ signals are mixed — cautious in parts — yet overall remain bullish. Recent price-target reductions still leave a consensus implying roughly 20% upside from the critical support level, and overall sentiment is pegged at Moderate Buy.

The Moderate Buy rating has been in place for over a year and shows no signs of faltering. The few analyst updates issued immediately after the release suggest the mixed trend will continue, but no change to the overall outlook is expected.

Analysts at CFRA were quick to note the strategic value of recent acquisitions and improved exposure to the professional business.

Institutional flows indicate investors are buying the November dip. Although activity has declined sequentially throughout the year, net institutional positioning remains bullish in every quarter, including the first half of Q4.

The Q4-to-date activity is noteworthy because it is poised to accelerate and may gain momentum now that results have been released.

Lowe’s Stock Confirms Support at a Critical Level

Lowe’s stock jumped about 5% after the Q3 release, rebounding from the prior day’s lows. The move confirms support at a key level and suggests a high probability of continued recovery. LOW could extend gains and potentially retest record highs in early 2026.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
