Hot or Not, Stock Market Edition: 01/24/2025

What’s on fire? What’s a flat tire? Here’s what’s up:

Agilysys (NASDAQ: AGYS) falls after its latest earnings report. Houston American Energy Corporation (NYSE: HUSA) has a problem. Keep reading for the story. Oh, and if you want more? Check out the biggest winners and biggest losers on WSZ. 

🔥 HOT: Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) gained 4.5% on Wednesday after President Trump announced the formation of a new company called Stargate that will invest $500 billion into AI infrastructure over the next four years. While the allocation of cash was not specified, some of that money will undoubtedly go toward the purchase of GPUs, and Nvidia is still the king for AI workloads. We give NVDA a B Zen Rating and see it continuing its steady climb for the foreseeable future.

🥶 NOT: Shares of Agilysys (NASDAQ: AGYS) fell by 20.0% on Wednesday after the company missed its fourth-quarter revenue prediction by 4.9% and lowered its full-year guidance for 2025. AGYS is up 20.4% year-over-year but was up as much as 70% as of late 2024. The stock has solid sentiment surrounding it and decent momentum, but it doesn’t have a clear path forward in terms of sustained growth. As such, we give the stock a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.

🔥 HOT: Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is no longer reporting subscriber numbers, but it announced its fourth-quarter new subscriber numbers one last time on Wednesday. The streaming giant had nearly 19 million new subscribers during the fourth quarter, double the amount that analysts expected. NFLX gained 9.7% in response to the news, bringing its total gain over the last year to 95.7% and erasing the 10% loss it suffered since the start of December 2024. NFLX has a B Zen Rating and continues to be one of the Nasdaq’s leaders despite continued concerns over the company’s ability to keep innovating.

🥶 NOT: Houston American Energy Corporation (NYSE: HUSA) gave back most of Tuesday’s 41.9% gain on Wednesday when it lost 22.4% on news that it closed a deal to sell 2.6 million shares at $1.70 apiece. For reference, HUSA opened Wednesday at $1.85 per share. HUSA has a C Zen Rating and has failed to earn a Buy rating, mostly due to its poor financials and recent volatility.
