A note from our sponsors...

🔥 HOT: Defense contractor Textron (TXT) is quite the hot number this week. Here’s why: 1) The FAA recently certified the engine for its Beechcraft Denali program, marking meaningful progress on a key aircraft platform that's been years in the making. 2) The stock is up nearly 20% over the past 3 months, riding strong demand in its aviation segment. 3) The stock was recently upgraded to a Zen Rating of B or Buy, meaning it currently ranks in the top 20% of stocks based on a 115-factor review, with standout A Grades for Safety and Value. The verdict? With aviation momentum building and the Denali program advancing, Textron looks positioned to sustain its rally.

🥶 NOT: Building products distributor QXO (QXO) is losing steam, down roughly 10% from recent highs. What happened? 1) The company missed on both earnings and revenue in Q4, reporting adjusted EPS of $0.02 (vs. $0.03 expected) and sales of $2.19B (vs. $2.21B expected)—a double miss that disappointed the Street. 2) In perhaps related news, the stock was recently downgraded to a Zen Rating of D or Sell — not the absolute bottom tier of stocks we track, but just one step up. It struggles with a D Grade for Sentiment and Value and an F Grade for Safety. The verdict? Pass. With weak fundamentals, earnings misses, and a downgrade to Sell territory, there are better places to park your money right now. 

🔥 HOT:  Auto parts player BorgWarner (BWA) is a past Stock of the Week pick that’s on our radar again. Why? A few reasons: 1) The company just announced a supply agreement with TurboCell to provide modular turbine generator systems for AI data center infrastructure, with production targeted for 2027 and projected revenue exceeding $300 million — a notable pivot beyond its traditional automotive powertrain business. 2) Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock and raised its price target by over 30%, citing the company's diversification into industrial markets. (See more ratings here.) 3) The stock holds a Zen Rating of A, and actually ranks in the top 2% of stocks we track — no small feat. Looking at the Component Grades, it earns an A for Financials and Bs Grade for Growth, Safety, and Sentiment. The bottom line? BorgWarner's expansion into AI infrastructure adds a compelling new growth angle to an already strong performer.

🥶 NOT:  Cryptocurrency-focused capital markets player Galaxy Digital (GLXY) is cooling off, down 13% over the past three months despite recent analyst attention. What's going on? 1) The stock has been under pressure as crypto markets remain volatile, and the company's exposure to digital assets is a double-edged sword in uncertain times. 2) Galaxy announced it will voluntarily delist from the TSX (while maintaining its Nasdaq listing), a move that could signal reduced liquidity and investor access. 3) The stock was recently downgraded to a Zen Rating of F (Strong Sell), placing it in the very bottom tier of stocks. It struggles with an F Grade for Safety and Sentiment and D Grades for Financials and Value. The bottom line? AVOID. The stock's poor fundamentals, crypto volatility, and rock-bottom Zen Rating make it a risky bet right now.
