🔥 HOT: Entertainment industry e-commerce company Alliance Entertainment (NASDAQ: AENT) gained 21.3% on Tuesday in what investors hope is the start of its recovery. AENT is still down more than 45% from its all-time high and has been dropping steadily since the start of the year. Even after its 2025 losses, AENT is still up an eye-watering 359.3% over the last year and maintains a B Zen Rating. The stock has excellent financials, and its current price is a steal.

🥶 NOT: JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) lost 25.7% on Tuesday despite reporting positive EPS and revenue numbers for the fourth quarter. The issue for investors was that the company’s guidance for 2025 was weaker than expected. The company’s projected revenue for 2025 led to the largest single-day drop for JBLU in more than 20 years. The stock is still up 9.3% year-over-year but now has a Zen Rating of C and a Hold recommendation.

🔥 HOT: Shares of Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) were up 12.0% on Tuesday after the company released its earnings for the fourth quarter. Royal Caribbean reported earnings-per-share of $1.63, $0.14 than Wall Street’s consensus estimate. The stock now sits at a new all-time high of $265.25, thanks mostly to bookings from Millenials and Gen Z. We give RCL a B Zen Rating due to the incredible momentum it’s had lately combined with renewed prospects for growth amid the unexpected surge from the younger generations.

🥶 NOT: Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) gained 8.8% on Tuesday, one day after losing 17.0% due to the combined threats of new Chinese AI model Deepseek R1 and President Trump’s proposed chip tariffs. Deepseek’s R1 model reportedly only cost around $6 million to train, a full order of magnitude cheaper than OpenAI’s flagship model. If the technique used to train R1 can be replicated, it could mean companies need far fewer Nvidia GPUs to train state-of-the-art models than previously thought. As if that wasn’t enough for NVDA shareholders to think about, President Trump announced that his administration was considering tariffs of “up to 100%” on chips made by Taiwan semiconductor manufacturer TSMC. If the tariffs go through, U.S. companies will be forced to pay much higher prices for their AI infrastructure, which could decrease demand for Nvidia’s data center AI offerings. We give NVDA a C Zen Rating and a hold recommendation for now since the uncertainty surrounding the stock’s future is at an all-time high.
