Realty Income: Unjustified Enthusiasm — Negative

Alphabet: Wiz Doesn't Change The AI Plot — Neutral

GOOG  GOOGL   Seeking Alpha — March 24, 2025

Alphabet's $32 billion acquisition of Wiz in the cybersecurity space is seen as expensive, but won't significantly impact the business. Despite heavy capex spending, Google's strong cash flows and balance sheet can handle the Wiz deal without dipping into cash reserves. Google's stock has dropped over 20%, presenting a buying opportunity, as it trades at historically low multiples despite rising EPS estimates.

Robinhood: Strong Earnings Despite Overall Market Weakness; Upgrade To Buy — Positive

HOOD   Seeking Alpha — March 24, 2025

Robinhood's stock plummeted 40% from its all-time high due to overall market weakness and slowing monthly metrics. Despite the drop, Robinhood posted a record quarter, with EPS almost doubling the three previous quarters combined. With a 78% likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in June, I'm confident the stock market can rebound and climb back toward its previous highs.

Financial performance is mixed, but adjusted net income and EBITDA show promising growth, indicating potential for future gains.
