Read in sequence. Leadership intent sets context. Capital behavior confirms conviction. Options markets reveal where expectations are concentrating. The Alpha Engine narrows focus. The Weekly Signal aligns your posture for the week ahead. 

S&P LEADERSHIP SIGNALS

Q4 2025 EARNINGS SEASON RECAP

The clearest throughline across the completed season was transition. Management teams that spent recent periods in heavy investment cycles, particularly around AI infrastructure and digital transformation, began signaling that those cycles are converting into results. The language shifted from describing opportunity to reporting outcomes: improved efficiencies, new revenue streams, and measurable market share gains. 

Capital allocation behavior reinforced the split. Companies with AI and infrastructure tailwinds accelerated spending, framing it as commitment against contracted, visible demand. Companies in stronger financial positions used the quarter to return capital through buybacks and dividends. Both behaviors reflect enough visibility to act decisively. 

Demand signals were the most polarized element of the season. AI infrastructure, data center expansion, and power generation described conditions that leadership teams characterized as generational in scale. Residential construction, select consumer discretionary segments, and certain industrial niches described the opposite. The risks being cited differ in kind. Infrastructure companies described operational constraints where demand exceeds capacity to deliver. Consumer-facing companies described demand problems affecting whether delivery is needed at all.

🟢 GREEN LIGHTS

Where Executive Confidence Is Accelerating

• ORCL (Oracle): Sustained bullish tone built on competitive wins in AI infrastructure and multicloud. Deferred revenue growth outpacing reported revenue provides forward visibility. 
• ADI (Analog Devices): CEO framed fiscal 2026 as a potential “banner year,” grounded in backlog strength and AI-driven demand. 
• AEP (American Electric Power):Contracted load pipeline doubled to 56 GW. Capital plan expanded to over $72 billion. Management beat 2025 guidance and reaffirmed premium long-term EPS growth. 
• DTE (DTE Energy): A confirmed 1.4 GW data center contract with another large deal described as imminent. A 3 GW pipeline provides the visible foundation for 6 to 8 percent EPS growth guidance. 
• GIS (General Mills): Management signaled the conclusion of its reinvestment phase and reaffirmed full-year fiscal 2026 guidance based on expected Q4 acceleration. 
• WSM (Williams-Sonoma): Language shifted from returning to growth to accelerating growth. Operational discipline and AI integration cited as structural contributors. 

🚩 RED FLAGS

Where Leadership Tone Diverges From Consensus

• CPB (Campbell Soup): Significant margin erosion, self-described operational failures, and a defensive shift in capital allocation toward debt reduction. Management halted buybacks and froze dividend growth. 
• NCLH (Norwegian Cruise Line): New leadership explicitly acknowledged past failures and reset expectations, reflecting recognition of fundamental execution risk. 
• KR (Kroger): Market share gains achieved through price investment, compressing margins. Growth and profitability pulling in opposite directions with no clear near-term resolution. 
• ULTA (Ulta Beauty): Performance improvement attributed to sustained marketing and digital investment rather than organic demand recovery. Maintaining momentum requires continued spending, which limits margin expansion. 

THE LEADERSHIP INDEX

The CEO Sentiment Trend

Season Summary 

The season’s aggregate signal is a bifurcated market. Companies tied to AI infrastructure, power generation, and enterprise software reported the strongest demand environments, with capital allocation following conviction. Companies exposed to consumer spending patterns and residential construction reported conditions ranging from soft to deteriorating. Execution quality remained the primary differentiator within both groups. 

Q1 2026 EARNINGS SEASON PREVIEW

Analysts are entering Q1 reporting season with above-average optimism. Aggregate S&P 500 earnings estimates have moved higher since January 1, with positive guidance issuers outnumbering negative by 59 to 51 among companies that have reported, above both the five-year average of 44 and the ten-year average of 40. Per FactSet, the blended year-over-year earnings growth rate for Q1 now stands at 13.2 percent, which would mark the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth for the index.  

The concentration of those revisions matters. Information Technology and Energy account for the large majority of upward estimate movement since December 31. Outside of those two sectors and a marginal gain in Financials, no other sector has seen aggregate earnings estimates improve. The revenue picture is broader, all eleven sectors are projected to report year-over-year revenue growth, but the earnings story entering this season is narrower than the headline number implies. 

The macro backdrop introduces friction that the earnings estimates do not yet fully reflect. Morningstar’s economic research flags tariff-driven inflation as a near-term headwind that is likely to suppress GDP growth in 2026 before monetary easing provides relief in 2028 and 2029. Consumer prices are expected to absorb more tariff impact through this year, which creates pressure on margin assumptions for companies with exposed supply chains. Morningstar also notes that US stocks entered this earnings season carrying valuations above their ten-year average valuation-implied return of roughly 2.6 percent annually, a level that historically implies limited multiple expansion from current prices.  

The tension entering Q1 reporting is therefore between an analyst consensus that is more constructive than normal and a macro and valuation environment that has become more complex since those estimates were set. Three S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report Q1 results this week. The full season begins in earnest the week of April 13.

This AI Stat Will Shock You

But one little-known statistic suggests the entire sector could be on the verge of a massive collapse.

Warren Buffett once called it “the best single measure of valuations.”

Today, that indicator is flashing far above where it stood before the Dot-Com crash.

If this signal proves right, many AI favorites could fall hard. 

See the warning sign and what investors should consider doing now.

Leadership intent sets the tone. Capital behavior confirms whether conviction follows.

SMART MONEY BRIEF

How Institutions and Insiders Are Positioning

This week’s activity reflects selective accumulation in growth-oriented technology and financial services names, alongside notable distribution in one large-cap technology position. The split within technology is the defining feature of the week. 

ACCUMULATION & DISTRIBUTION

Where Smart Money Is Buying

• DDOG – (Datadog) The highest reported hedge fund accumulation of the week, alongside significant insider buying. The combination of institutional and insider conviction in the same name is the cleanest accumulation signal in this week’s data. 
• NVDA – (NVIDIA)  Strong hedge fund accumulation continues. Institutional interest in NVIDIA has been a recurring feature of recent weeks. 
• HOOD – (Robinhood Markets) Substantial hedge fund accumulation supported by a cluster of insider buying. Internal and external conviction are aligned. 
• KDP – (Keurig Dr Pepper), KHC – (Kraft Heinz) Both Consumer Defensive names saw notable hedge fund accumulation, consistent with rotation toward defensive exposures within a tape where Consumer Staples is one of the few sectors holding positive returns across multiple timeframes. 
• ERIE – (Erie Indemnity)A cluster of insider buying events from multiple executives in financial services. 
• WDAY – (Workday) A large individual insider transaction flagged as activist activity. 

Where Smart Money Is Selling

• AAPL – (Apple) Pronounced hedge fund distribution. In a week where other technology names are being accumulated, the concentration of selling in a single large-cap name is notable. 

CAPITAL REGIME CHECK

How Capital Behavior Aligns with the Broader Market

The one-month sector picture represents a meaningful shift from the trend established across longer timeframes. 

Energy, which has led every horizon examined in recent weeks, is the only sector with a negative one-month return, declining 5.29 percent over the past month. At the same time, Technology is positive over one month at plus 4.67 percent, Communication Services is up 4.35 percent, and Real Estate has gained 4.00 percent. Financials have returned to positive territory over one month at plus 3.60 percent. 

The longer-term picture has not changed. Energy remains dominant year to date at plus 32.52 percent. Technology, Communication Services, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care all remain negative year to date. The one-month reversal in relative performance is a data point worth tracking but has not yet altered the established regime. 

Utilities, Consumer Staples, Materials, and Industrials continue to hold positive returns across both short and long horizons. Real Estate has returned to modestly positive year to date territory.

WARNING: A Major Market Shift Could Hit Stocks in 2026

If you have any money in the stock market, you may want to pay attention. 

New research points to a massive market-moving event that could send hundreds of popular stocks into a sudden free fall. 

Holding the wrong stocks when this hits could erase years of gains. 

That’s why analysts have now identified a list of stocks investors may want to avoid as this event unfolds.

With positioning established, the next question is how the market is pricing uncertainty.

VOLATILITY SIGNALS

How Risk Is Being Priced

What Options Markets Imply About Future Movement 

Cheap volatility this week: KMI at the 1st composite percentile, TT at 2nd, HOLX at 3rd, SNA at 3rd, and AMCR at 4th. Multiple names here are appearing on the cheap volatility screen for the second or third consecutive week. 

Expensive volatility: GDDY, FDS, CSGP, ACN, and INTU all at or near the 100th percentile of their historical ranges across multiple horizons. GDDY and CSGP have now appeared at the top of the expensive volatility screen in consecutive weeks. 

ASYMMETRIC BETS

Unusual Options Activity Worth Watching

WBD – (Warner Bros. Discovery) 

Paramount agreed to acquire WBD at $31 per share in February 2026, with the transaction expected to close in Q3 2026 pending regulatory clearance and a shareholder vote scheduled for April 23. The DOJ’s acting antitrust chief has stated the deal will not be on a fast track for approval.  

Read against that backdrop, the put positioning is more interpretable as deal-break hedging than directional bearish conviction on the underlying business. Both the $20 and $27 strikes sit below the $31 acquisition price. If the deal closes, the positions expire worthless. If regulatory review blocks the transaction or introduces material delay, WBD reverts toward pre-deal levels.  

The October 2026 expiration covers the window beyond the expected close date. A third consecutive week of large put positioning, now at a higher strike and with active volume of 6,171 contracts, is consistent with a participant continuing to build or add to a structured deal-risk hedge rather than a single speculative entry. 

When intent, capital, and pricing align, the signal quality improves materially.

HIGH-CONVICTION SIGNALS

Outputs from the TQ Alpha Engine 

KDP – (Keurig Dr Pepper) 

Hedge fund accumulation alongside an implied volatility shift in the options market. Consumer Defensive accumulation in a name with active options repricing is a multi-channel signal. 

AMCR – (Amcor) 

Institutional accumulation converging with historically cheap implied volatility. AMCR has been a recurring presence on the cheap volatility screen. 

KMI – (Kinder Morgan) 

Institutional accumulation alongside implied volatility at the low end of its historical range. The energy infrastructure name sits inside a sector that remains the tape’s dominant year-to-date leader despite a one-month pullback. 

AMAT – (Applied Materials) 

Institutional accumulation occurring while implied volatility is expensive. Buying into elevated options pricing reflects a different kind of conviction than accumulation in cheap volatility environments. 

FROM OUR SPONSORS

The 2026 IPO calendar is taking shape – and it’s unusually concentrated

Instead of a scattershot list of early-stage hopefuls, the pipeline includes a handful of large private companies, each dominating a different segment of the economy. 

At one end of the spectrum sits a global connectivity network. At another, the infrastructure powering enterprise AI. 

There’s a digital finance platform generating margins that resemble software, not banking. And much more. And they all bring unique standout qualities to the table.

BIG MOVE WATCHLIST

High-Probability Strike Zones

These equities screen with historically elevated probabilities of reaching a defined upside or downside target within the expected window. The edge is statistical resolution, not directional certainty. 

QCOM – (Qualcomm)

Overall Strike Rate: 82.1% 
Upside Target: $132.50; Downside Target: $121.10 

QCOM screens at a high resolution probability within a Technology sector that remains under pressure year to date but has shown a one-month reversal. The company enters the new earnings season with the memory shortage headwinds flagged in Q4 still present. The statistical setup reflects elevated odds of a decisive move in either direction rather than continued range-bound behavior. Catalysts to watch: Q1 earnings results due in the coming weeks, handset demand updates, AI-adjacent chip demand signals, and any commentary on memory supply normalization. 

IBIT – (iShares Bitcoin Trust)

Overall Strike Rate: 82.1% 
Upside Target: $40.40; Downside Target: $35.54 

IBIT screens at the same strike rate as QCOM. Bitcoin ETF positioning reflects broader risk appetite conditions and is sensitive to macro shifts, rate expectations, and institutional allocation trends. The statistical configuration indicates elevated probability of range resolution from current levels. Catalysts to watch: Broader risk appetite signals, dollar strength or weakness, institutional crypto allocation flows, and any regulatory or macro developments affecting digital asset positioning. 

THE WEEKLY SIGNAL

The April 5 signal map is defined by two features: the forward-looking setup for an earnings season that arrives with unusually high analyst expectations, and a set of capital behavior signals that reflect rotation rather than directional consensus. 

The FactSet data establishes the baseline for Q1. Earnings estimates have moved higher since December 31. Positive guidance issuers outnumber negative. The projected 13.2 percent year-over-year growth rate would extend the double-digit streak to six quarters. The concentration of those upward revisions in Information Technology and Energy is worth carrying into the weeks ahead as company-level results begin to confirm or revise those expectations. 

The one-month sector reversal is the most notable development in the capital regime data this week. Energy has pulled back while Technology, Communication Services, and Real Estate have gained over the past month. Whether this represents early rotation or a temporary consolidation within a sustained regime is not yet clear. The longer-term performance picture has not changed, and the one-month data point sits against a backdrop where the year-to-date and multi-month trends remain firmly in place. 

Capital behavior this week was selective and internally consistent. Accumulation concentrated in specific growth technology names and defensive consumer positions. Distribution concentrated in one large-cap technology name. The alignment of hedge fund and insider conviction in DDOG and HOOD are the cleanest accumulation signals of the week.

This New Spinoff Is a Nuclear and AI Chip Beneficiary Worth Watching

Submitted by Leo Miller. Posted: 4/1/2026. 

Key Points

• Since splitting off from a massive industrial leader, shares of Solstice Advanced Materials are on a hot streak.
• The company holds impressive positions in nuclear energy and advanced semiconductor supply chains, generating strong growth from these industries.
• However, does the company’s overall growth justify its soaring share price?
• Special Report: Have $500? Invest in Elon’s AI Masterplan

Solstice Advanced Materials (NASDAQ: SOLS) is a relatively new publicly traded company that has gotten off to a blistering start. Honeywell International (NASDAQ: HON) spun the company out at the end of October 2025.

Since the spinout, Solstice shares have climbed more than 50% as the company benefits from key tailwinds in both the nuclear energy and semiconductor industries.

Ticker Revealed: Pre-IPO Access to “Next Elon Musk” Company (Ad)

We’ve found The Next Elon Musk… and what we believe to be the next Tesla. 

It’s already racked up $26 billion in government contracts.

Peter Thiel just bet $1 Billion on it.👉 Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free.

Investors should temper enthusiasm, however, because the current share price already reflects several years of aggressive growth. Still, because Solstice sits at the intersection of two major investment themes, it is a name to watch should its valuation retreat significantly.

U.S. Uranium Conversion Runs Through Solstice

Driven in part by the rapid buildout of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, demand for both nuclear energy and advanced semiconductors is rising. Many hyperscalers are supporting accelerated nuclear adoption to meet growing electricity needs for continuous, power-hungry AI workloads.

Nuclear power is low‑carbon, helping companies meet clean-energy commitments, and—unlike wind or solar—it can provide constant baseload power suitable for continuous AI operations.

Solstice owns the Metropolis Works uranium hexafluoride (UF6) conversion facility, making it the only domestic provider of UF6 conversion services. The company converts raw uranium into UF6 before it moves to other producers in the fuel fabrication cycle.

This position gives Solstice strategic importance for national energy security. The company notes there are only four other UF6 conversion sites globally; 2022 data indicate one is in Russia and another in China—countries with adversarial relations with the United States.

As nuclear demand increases, capacity at the Metropolis facility is nearly sold out through 2030 and carries an over $2 billion backlog. Bank of America estimates global nuclear capacity could triple by 2050, creating a significant opportunity for Solstice in a fragmented market.

A notable risk is new competitors entering the market; Solstice says bringing a new conversion facility online typically takes four to five years.

SOLS’s Copper Manganese: A Vital Input for AI Semiconductors

Advanced semiconductors are central to AI development, and Solstice holds a strong position as a supplier of specialized chip materials.

The company produces copper manganese sputtering targets, which are essential for manufacturing semiconductors at process nodes below seven nanometers (nm). Solstice says it is “really the only producer that has copper manganese at scale” and one of only two or three suppliers worldwide.

Solstice expects demand for copper manganese to rise as AI progresses. Shrinking process nodes are a primary driver of increased semiconductor performance, and smaller nodes require more copper manganese.

The push to expand U.S.-based advanced semiconductor manufacturing also favors Solstice, since U.S. fabs are more likely to source domestically. Major industry players are investing heavily:

• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) is producing 4nm chips in Arizona and plans to bring 3nm online by 2027.
• Samsung Electronics (OTCMKTS: SSNLF) plans to produce 2nm chips at its Taylor, Texas, facility.
• Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) plans to invest $100 billion to expand U.S. chipmaking capacity, with its Fab 52 designed to produce 1.8nm chips.

To meet rising demand, Solstice is investing $200 million to double its sputtering-target manufacturing capacity at its Washington State facility. Copper manganese demand represents another meaningful growth opportunity for the company.

SOLS: A Watchlist Stock Amid Demand From High-Growth Industries

In its latest quarter, Solstice’s nuclear business grew 39% year over year (YOY), while its Electronic Materials division—which includes sputtering targets—grew 19% YOY. Despite those strong segments, Solstice is a diversified industrial company, not a pure play on nuclear and semiconductors. In 2024, nuclear and semiconductors together accounted for just 22% of total revenue.

Overall sales rose 3% in 2025 and 8% in Q4 2025. The company’s revenue growth projection for 2026 is near 4%, which is modest relative to the premium baked into the stock’s valuation today.

Solstice is an interesting and strategically positioned company, serving as a key supplier within both the nuclear and semiconductor value chains. That positioning makes the stock worth watching if the company’s fundamentals or valuation shift materially.

This Month’s Bonus Article

5 High-Yield Stocks to Shield Your Portfolio From the Storm

Submitted by Ryan Hasson. Date Posted: 3/23/2026. 

Key Points

• With the S&P 500 breaking below its 200-day SMA, high-yield dividend stocks are increasingly worth considering as a source of income and portfolio protection.
• BTI, PFE, and VZ are holding up well amid the selloff, offering defensive characteristics, strong institutional backing, and dividend yields ranging from 5.5% to 6.4%.
• KHC and MPLX have yields above 7%, compelling valuations, and growing institutional interest, making them potentially attractive for income-focused investors.
• Special Report: Elon’s “Hidden” Company

The stock market recently slipped below its 200-day simple moving average, and investor fear is accelerating. The popular S&P 500 ETF, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), not only sliced through that key technical level last week but also fell below a major area of multi-year support around $660. It’s now nearing correction territory, down nearly 5% year-to-date and more than 7% below its 52-week high. Friday’s 1.7% decline alone was enough to rattle even the most patient bulls.

What began as a targeted selloff in mega-cap technology and software stocks has since broadened into a wider market and economic headwind. Surging oil prices tied to the Middle East conflict, rising inflation, and the near-complete evaporation of rate cut expectations have created a deeply uncertain backdrop. Risk-off sentiment is firmly in control, and the dollar has bounced sharply off its 52-week lows in recent weeks.

U.S. Gov’t To Shock Gold Investors On April 15 (Ad)

America’s leading gold expert is pointing to April 15, 2026 as a critical date for gold investors – and says a major shift in the gold market could be set to unfold.

Whether you own gold, are considering buying, or simply follow the market, this forecast deserves your attention before that date arrives.Read the full urgent briefing and prepare for April 15

Many investors are now asking the right questions: move to cash and wait for a bottom, sit tight, or rotate into high-yield dividend stocks that can provide income protection during a prolonged period of volatility? For those considering the latter, here are five high-yield dividend stocksworth watching closely.

British American Tobacco: Defensive Positioning With a 5.6% Yield

British American Tobacco plc (NYSE: BTI) is a multinational tobacco and nicotine-products company headquartered in London. Its defensive characteristics are already showing up in its 2026 performance.

While the broader market has sold off, BTI is up more than 1% year-to-date, excluding dividends. That’s a meaningful outperformance that reflects the appeal of consumer defensive stocks during times of stress.

The headline attraction is its 5.6% dividend yield, one of the most substantial income offerings among large-cap defensive names. Valuation metrics add further appeal, with a P/E of 12.5 and a forward P/E of about 11. Institutions have taken notice, recording $3 billion in inflows over the prior 12 months versus $960 million in outflows.

On the chart, BTI has maintained a firm uptrend over the past year, gaining nearly 40%. As long as the $50 to $53 support zone holds, the longer-term bullish trend remains intact.

Pfizer: A Healthcare Giant Quietly Bucking the Trend

Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) benefits from one of investing’s most reliable defensive traits: demand for prescriptions and medical treatments tends to be stable regardless of economic conditions.

That dynamic, combined with meaningful fundamental improvements, has helped PFE surge almost 8% year-to-date.

On a longer timeframe, the stock appears to have found its footing, with $28 the next key resistance and potential breakout level.

From an income perspective, Pfizer is compelling. It offers a 6.4% dividend yieldand an annual dividend of $1.72 per share. Analysts maintain a neutral Hold consensus rating, while the average price target implies roughly 5% additional upside.

Institutional activity has been constructive, with $16.1 billion in purchases over the prior 12 months versus $11.9 billion in outflows, reflecting growing confidence in the stock’s recovery.

Kraft Heinz: Deep Value and a 7.42% Yield for Patient Investors

Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC) is not without its challenges. The global food and beverage giant has fallen nearly 12% year-to-date, weighed down by shifting consumer preferences toward private-label brands and persistent volume declines across North American categories.

Q4 2025 revenue came in at $6.35 billion, down 3.4% year-over-year and slightly below consensus, though EPS of $0.67 beat expectations of $0.61.

For patient investors, however, KHC is becoming increasingly interesting. The stock is approaching its 2020 lows on the longer-term chart. Its forward P/E is nearing single digits, and its dividend yield has climbed to roughly 7.5%.

Analysts hold a consensus Reduce rating but still see nearly 15% upside to their $24.78 price target.

Institutions have been active buyers as well, recording $4 billion in inflows over the prior 12 months versus $1.8 billion in outflows. For income-focused investors with patience, that combination is hard to ignore.

Verizon Communications: Momentum, Income, and a 20-Year Dividend Growth Streak

Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) is the clear momentum leader on this list, with shares surging more than 23% year-to-date. The rally was ignited by a strong Q4 earnings report that delivered the best postpaid phone subscriber additions in six years.

Strong 5G demand, a $25 billion buyback program, improved free cash flow, and a shift in market sentiment toward high-yield names have all added fuel to the rally.

Despite that significant run, the income proposition remains attractive. Verizon offers a 5.5% dividend yield and pays an annual dividend of $2.76 per share, backed by an impressive 20-year streak of consecutive dividend increases.

Its payout ratio of about 68% is sustainable and leaves room for continued growth. Institutional conviction has been strong, with $19.1 billion in inflows over the past 12 months compared to $9.67 billion in outflows.

MPLX LP: Energy Infrastructure Income With a 7.44% Yield

MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) is a midstream master limited partnership that owns, operates, and develops energy infrastructure across the United States. With the energy sector among the best-performing areas of the market in 2026, MPLX has kept pace, rising close to 10% year-to-date while maintaining a healthy uptrend on longer-term charts.

Despite an over 70% surge over the prior three years, the stock still trades at a P/E of about 12. The dividend yield of 7.4%, supported by a nine-year history of consecutive increases, is among the most attractive on this list.

Analysts are constructive, with a Moderate Buy consensus rating and a price target that implies roughly 4% additional upside.

For income-focused investors seeking energy-sector exposure with a substantial, growing yield, MPLX could warrant a close look.

Yield as Defense in an Uncertain Market

Market downturns can be uncomfortable, but they also steer attention toward stocks that might otherwise be overlooked. Each of the five names on this list offers something different: the defensive stability of British American Tobacco and Pfizer, the potential deep-value proposition of Kraft Heinz, the momentum-plus-income combination of Verizon, and the energy-infrastructure yield of MPLX. All share the ability to generate meaningful income for investors while the broader market finds its footing.

No dividend stock is immune to further selling pressure if conditions deteriorate. But for investors looking to adopt a more defensive posture without moving entirely to cash, high-yield names with solid fundamentals and strong institutional backing offer a compelling middle ground. In a market defined by uncertainty, income can be a powerful buffer.

Three Stocks Under $20 With Massive Upside Potential

By Chris Markoch. Article Published: 3/31/2026. 

KEY POINTS

• Three stocks under $20 offer at least 30% upside based on analyst price targets, with some exceeding 100% potential gains.
• SailPoint stands out with strong institutional buying and minimal short interest despite recent declines.
• Ondas and QXO present higher-risk opportunities tied to defense spending and construction markets, respectively.
• Special Report: Altucher: This is My Favorite FREE Starlink Pre-IPO Ticker (From Paradigm Press)

Even amid market uncertainty, risk-tolerant investors may want to consider opportunities in stocks trading under $20.

With broad market volatility persisting through the first quarter of 2026, it can feel tough to find growth outside of energy stocks. But history consistently shows that buying quality companies at depressed prices is often a winning formula. Right now, fear-driven selloffs in several sectors have created entry points that patient investors may look back on fondly.

U.S. GOV’T TO SHOCK GOLD INVESTORS ON APRIL 15 (AD)

America’s leading gold expert is pointing to April 15, 2026 as a critical date for gold investors – and says a major shift in the gold market could be set to unfold. 

Whether you own gold, are considering buying, or simply follow the market, this forecast deserves your attention before that date arrives.

Read the full urgent briefing and prepare for April 15

Each of the stocks below carries a consensus analyst rating of Moderate Buy or better, plus a consensus price target reflecting at least 30% upside over the next 12 months. And all three sit outside the energy sector, proving that opportunities exist for investors willing to do their homework.

A Building Materials Play With Major Upside

QXO Inc. (NYSE: QXO) is the largest publicly traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing, and complementary building products in North America, with ambitions to become the tech-enabled leader in the roughly $800 billion building products distribution industry. That’s a big vision—and analysts appear to believe in it.

QXO stock is down about 20% over the last month and about 1% year-to-date. The pullback followed a challenging earnings report that showed weaker profit margins and declining revenue, which rattled investor confidence. Still, analysts remain optimistic, with a consensus price target of $32.27, roughly 70% above the stock’s closing price on March 30.

The caveat? Short interest sits around 17%, which can increase volatility and put pressure on retail holders in the near term. QXO may reward patient investors willing to ride that out.

Riding the AI Identity Security Wave

SailPoint (NASDAQ: SAIL) is a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, offering an AI-powered platform designed to address the critical security challenges of modern IT environments. As AI agents and machine identities proliferate, this market shows strong, sustained growth potential.

SAIL stock is down about 7% over the last month and roughly 30% year-to-date, putting it well under $20 at about $13. The decline followed conservative forward guidance from management, despite the company crossing $1 billion in annual recurring revenue, a 28% year-over-year increase. Analysts see a rebound: the consensus price target of $21.49 implies more than 60% upside.

What makes SailPoint particularly compelling is the institutional conviction behind it. Institutional buyers have added about $1.45 billion in holdings while sales were only $239 million—a lopsided ratio that speaks volumes. With short interest near just 3.4%, there’s little headwind from bearish traders, making this one of the cleaner setups on the list.

A High-Risk, High-Reward Drone Defense Play

Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS)provides autonomous systems and private wireless solutions to rail, energy, public safety, critical infrastructure, and government customers. Its offerings include mission-critical networks, autonomous drones, counter-drone systems, and AI capabilities—areas that could benefit from rising defense and infrastructure spending.

Trading around $8 per share, ONDS has been under pressure—down about 15% over the last month and 13% year-to-date. A fourth-quarter loss of $101 million weighed on sentiment, despite signs of operational progress. Still, the analyst community maintains a Moderate Buy consensus and a price target of $17.25, implying more than 100% upside.

Institutional ownership paints an interesting picture: institutional buyers have added roughly $705.87 million while sales totaled about $104.53 million. Total institutional ownership is only around 37%, suggesting room for more institutional inflows as the company matures.

The risk is substantial. Short interest around 34% is significant and a clear reason to approach Ondas with caution. This stock is best suited for investors with a high risk tolerance and a long enough runway to let the story play out.

How to Balance Risk Across Speculative Stocks

None of these stocks is without risk, which explains why they’re trading at these levels. For investors willing to take different levels of risk, spreading exposure across all three can help balance the portfolio. SAIL’s near-zero short interest offsets some of the pressure from ONDS’s crowded short trade, with QXO sitting somewhere in between.

Remember: analyst consensus price targets are 12-month projections, not guarantees. They reflect informed expectations, not certainties. For risk-tolerant investors with a 12-month horizon, QXO, SAIL, and ONDS each combine analyst conviction and meaningful upside that may be worth considering..

Dear Reader,

President Trump just signed a highly controversial new law — S.1582.

With one stroke of the pen, he’s unleashed the most radical change to America’s money in over 100 years.

For the first time since 1913, private companies — not the Federal Reserve — now hold the power to create a new kind of U.S. dollar.

Something insiders are calling the Dollar 2.0.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Dollar 2.0’s value could “greatly exceed” $2 trillion by 2028…

And the Treasury Department itself says it could suck $6.6 trillion out of traditional bank accounts… roughly one-third of all deposits.

Because, unlike traditional dollars, which LOSE value over time, this new money can GAIN value over time…

In fact, the Dollar 2.0 could pay you 10X the interest your savings account does right now.

In this urgent presentation, I show you how.

But the real opportunity here is in the small companies minting the Dollar 2.0.

As you can see here, investors who position themselves now could make as much as a 40X return by 2032.

But be warned: S.1582 has been brought in so fast, the window to act is closing fast… as the next major money minting event is happening on February 17.

Go here now to make sure you get ahead of it.

Regards,

Addison Wiggin

Proverbs 26:28

(28) A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, 
And a flattering mouth works ruin. 
New King James Version   Change email Bible version

Clearly, lying is an act of hatred. It is so bad that it can bring ruin to those it is used against, and like a boomerang, it will return to destroy those who employ it.

Here is a good maxim to live by: Never believe anything bad about a person unless you know it to be absolutely true; never even tell that absolute truth to another unless it is absolutely necessary; and remember when you do tell it, God is listening.

Galatians 6:7-8 contains an important principle: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” All who believe God must deal with this reality. God cannot be fooled. Neither can God’s law be fooled, just as the law of gravity cannot be fooled. A person cannot treat God or His law with contempt and get away with it. We are accountable to it whether we wish to be or not.

This principle teaches that what a man does to life, life does back to him. It is inescapable. “Do men gather grapes of thornbushes or figs of thistles?” Jesus asks (Matthew 7:16). The hypocrite cannot fool God’s laws, only other people—and himself—for a while. This principle is instructing us not to delude ourselves into thinking that we will somehow escape its power. We must always strive to live the truth, which is a difficult job considering the heart within.

The prophet writes in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” The Hebrew word translated deceitful can mean in this context “faithless, insincere, hypocritical, underhanded, false, dishonest, treacherous, sneaky, double-dealing, tricky, cunning, and crafty.” They all apply.

The phrase desperately wicked, which can also be rendered as “perverse” or “incurable,” implies that the heart knows better but does it anyhow. It is addicted to deceit or faithlessness! Who can fathom its treachery or corruptness? We know where this came from! “The prince of the power of the air” is largely responsible for this evil proclivity because his spirit dominates life in this world(Ephesians 2:2; Revelation 12:9). He was a liar from the beginning (John 8:44), deceiving himself into believing that he could overcome his Creator (Isaiah 14:12-14)!

Solomon says in Proverbs 11:9, “The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.” This proverb comforts Christians by reminding us that we have a hedge about us. It also reminds us that, eventually, truth will out. The flipside of this is that the lies, too, will be exposed and with them the condemnation of the liar. Why is this certain? Because there is a God in heaven overseeing His children’s well-being.

— John W. Ritenbaugh

He Is Risen: A Time for Faith, Renewal, and Hope

As we celebrate this blessed Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the enduring promise of hope, redemption, and new life through the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This sacred day calls us to reflect on God’s grace, cherish our many blessings, and renew our commitment to faith, family, and the values that strengthen our nation.

In a time of uncertainty, Easter is a powerful reminder that light overcomes darkness, and truth prevails. May we carry that spirit forward – serving one another, loving our neighbors, and standing firm in our faith.

Wishing you and your family a joyful, peaceful, and spirit-filled Easter. May God continue to bless you, and may He forever bless the United States of America.

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 

Strong Jobs Surge Signals Economic Rebound Under Pro-Growth Leadership

The latest jobs report delivered a decisive boost of confidence, with the U.S. adding 178,000 jobs in March—far surpassing expectations and marking a sharp turnaround from prior declines. After years of economic strain defined by historically high inflation, stagnant growth, and workforce uncertainty during the previous administration, this report highlights a meaningful shift in direction. The gains reflect renewed strength across key industries and point to the impact of pro-growth policies championed by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Together, these results underscore a broader economic resurgence—one driven by a focus on American workers, domestic investment, and restoring stability after a prolonged period of economic headwinds.

America Reaches for the Stars Again with Historic Artemis II Launch

In a powerful display of American ingenuity and determination, the Artemis II mission roared to life this week, marking a bold return to deep space exploration. After overcoming delays, the Space Launch System lifted off successfully, carrying a crew of four astronauts into orbit and setting the stage for humanity’s first journey back toward the moon in more than half a century.

Though the mission will not land on the lunar surface, it represents a monumental leap forward. The crew will travel farther into space than any humans before them, circling the moon and returning home after a 10-day voyage—an extraordinary feat that reflects the strength of American leadership in science and exploration.

This mission is more than a technological achievement—it’s a symbol of renewed national ambition. As NASA continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, Artemis II paves the way for future missions, including plans to once again place American boots on the moon in the coming years. At a time when the world looks skyward, the United States is once again leading the charge—proving that the spirit of exploration is alive, strong, and unmistakably American. 🚀

Hobbs Veto Shows Contempt for Conservative Voices and Arizona Tradition

Arizona Governor Hobbs’ veto of legislation this week to honor Charlie Kirk is a disgraceful display of partisan bias. This wasn’t about process—it was about silencing a conservative voice and denying recognition to someone who inspired millions of young Americans to stand up for their country.

Arizona has a long tradition of honoring impactful leaders, regardless of politics. By blocking this tribute, Hobbs made it clear that if you don’t align with her ideology, your contributions don’t matter.

I find this decision not only disappointing but deeply divisive. At a time when we should be uniting to honor those who shaped our national conversation, the governor chose petty politics over principle—and Arizona deserves better.

Another Preventable Tragedy: Failed Border Policies Continue to Cost American Lives

How many more Americans must suffer before we admit the obvious? Yet again, a violent crime has been tied to an illegal alien who should never have been in this country to begin with. According to news reports this week, a Venezuelan national—allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration—now stands accused of multiple murders in a North Carolina sanctuary city.

This is the direct result of reckless open-border policies and the dangerous “catch and release” approach that prioritized politics over public safety. Even more alarming, sanctuary city policies prevented proper cooperation with federal immigration authorities—creating a system where criminals are shielded while law-abiding Americans are left vulnerable.

I’m fed up with the consequences of years of weak leadership under the Biden administration, where open-border policies and soft-on-crime sanctuary jurisdictions created the conditions for tragedies like this to happen again and again. Americans are paying the price for these failed decisions. The contrast today is clear—under Donald Trump, we are seeing a renewed commitment to enforcing the law, securing our borders, and putting the safety of American citizens first.

District Highlights!

It’s always a busy time during the Easter district work period.  This week, I was happy to be back home in Arizona’s Ninth Congressional District—away from the dysfunction of Washington, D.C. and focused on what truly matters: meeting with the people I serve.

From attending the Yuma County Fair to celebrating our heroes at the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day cookout in Lake Havasu City, I had the opportunity to connect with hardworking Arizonans and honor those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. These moments serve as a powerful reminder of the values that make our communities strong.

I also toured the Arizona Western College Law Enforcement Academy in Yuma, where I met with dedicated recruits preparing to serve and protect our communities. Their commitment to public safety is inspiring and reinforces the importance of supporting law enforcement at every level.

While in Yuma, I also visited Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, where I met with our Marines and saw firsthand the critical training and readiness efforts that help defend our nation. The strength and professionalism of our armed forces continue to make Arizona a cornerstone of America’s national security.

Returning home each week from the Swamp isn’t just a duty—it’s essential. It keeps me grounded, informed, and accountable to the people of this district. Listening directly to constituents, hearing your concerns, and seeing the priorities firsthand ensures that I can take your voices back to Washington, D.C. and fight for policies that reflect Arizona values. I will always prioritize time in our communities—because serving you starts with showing up.
