SILJ: Small Silver Miners Break Out Versus Silver, The New Upside Catalyst — Positive

SIL   Seeking Alpha — August 20, 2025

I reiterate a buy rating on SILJ, citing its strong outperformance versus silver and the S&P 500, and a bullish technical breakout. SILJ has seen significant asset growth and momentum, with a perfect A+ ETF Grade, but remains a high-risk, high-volatility investment. Despite bearish seasonal trends, SILJ is defying history with strong August gains and robust technical support levels, attracting large investor interest.

Palo Alto Networks: CyberArk Will Be A Reliable Sidekick To NGS Offerings — Positive

CYBR  PANW   Seeking Alpha — August 20, 2025

PANW delivered strong Q4 results, beating on revenue and EPS, and raised FY26 guidance, highlighting robust NGS and platformization momentum. The $25B CyberArk acquisition is a strategic move to capitalize on surging identity security demand in the AI era, further strengthening PANW's portfolio. Monte Carlo simulations suggest a near 100% chance PANW will exceed FY26 EPS guidance, supporting my $239 price target and continued BUY rating.

In 4Q25, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. generated $3.41 billion in revenue, representing a decline of 12% y/y and 4% q/q. Profitability continues to deteriorate. Operating and net income fell by 67% and 92%. EL's recent performance proves that its previous quarter success is not sustainable. Unfortunately, current indicators suggests that more obstacles await. Macroeconomic headwinds will continue to weigh on overall demand, affecting on the company's sales. It is unlikely that we will see demand improve anytime soon.

JEPQ: I Was Wrong, The Yield Is Worth It (Rating Upgrade) — Positive

JEPQ   Seeking Alpha — August 20, 2025

The last time I covered JPMorgan's NASDAQ Equity Premium Income ETF, I rated it a hold. At the time, I thought its yield didn't make up for lost gains. After thinking about it more, I realized that at today's nosebleed valuation, hedging the QQQ with covered calls makes sense. At the same time, the hedging benefits are less than could be had with long puts. So, this fund is best for those with high income needs.

I maintain a hold rating on DoubleVerify due to ongoing macro uncertainty and structural risks tied to the open web. Q2 2025 results were strong, with broad-based growth and raised revenue guidance, but external risks overshadow these positives.
