I'm Putting Cash To Work: 2 Rock-Solid Dividends At Bargain Prices — Positive
FRT MRK Seeking Alpha — May 19, 2025I'm targeting value in overlooked sectors, highlighting Merck and Federal Realty as top picks for income and upside potential. Merck offers a low 8.5x PE, a 4.3% yield, a robust drug pipeline, and resilient growth despite Gardasil headwinds and tariff pressures.

Cisco Earnings Summary: 5% Free Cash Flow Yield Is A Big Plus — Positive
CSCO Seeking Alpha — May 19, 2025Cisco managed to generate a 4% upside in EPS, with a $0.96 print (versus the $0.92 estimate) on a 1% revenue upside surprise. The Splunk acquisition is likely the bigger deal for Cisco, as the acquisition greatly enlarges the security division at Cisco, and is expected to be an area of growth for the network giant. This blog's internal model values Cisco closer to $70–$75, so the discount to perceived fair value isn't that yawning, while Morningstar's fair value is mid-$50s.

Valuation is attractive at 0.7x PEG, with a 2025 price target of $205 and over 100% upside potential by 2027.

Blaize Holdings: High Stakes Bullish Thesis Needs At Least Another Year To Play Out — Neutral
BZAI Seeking Alpha — May 19, 2025Blaize Holdings, Inc. remains a Strong Buy for me, driven by its niche Edge AI focus and strong forward guidance for 2025-2026. Despite a 60% stock drop since my last coverage, my thesis is unchanged as key revenue is expected later in 2025 and 2026. I see Q1 as a transitory quarter. Significant risks include heavy dilution (25-45% by 2026), reliance on management's guidance, and high volatility typical of SPAC microcaps.
