Hot or Not, Stock Market Edition: 03/21/2025

Ah, the stock market — never a dull moment. Here’s what’s moving in both directions right now: 

• HOT: Power Solutions International (NASDAQ: PSIX) gains on hot earnings anticipation; Mastech Digital (NYSE: MHH) gains following earnings
• NOT: Corporacion America Airports (NYSE: CAAP) loses ground after falling short of earnings expectations; despite a recent run, we remain bearish on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC)

🔥 HOT: Engine manufacturer Power Solutions International (NASDAQ: PSIX) gained 7.5% on Wednesday as the market prepares for the company’s earnings report scheduled for next Thursday, March 27th. PSIX is currently trading in the middle of a wide range that started around the beginning of 2025 and has strong momentum to the upside. Our analysis gives PSIX B scores for most of our rating components, including Value, Momentum, Growth, Safety, and Financials and an A score for Sentiment. We feel that PSIX is an excellent addition to any portfolio at its current price and give it a Zen Rating of A and a Strong Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Private airport operator Corporacion America Airports (NYSE: CAAP) lost 7.0% on Wednesday after a poor fourth-quarter earnings report. Wall Street priced in a quarterly EPS of $0.28 but the reported value came in 24% lower at $0.21. CAAP has had a very swingy year and now sits at a loss of 4.3% YTD. We give CAAP a B rating for Value and an F for Safety, making it a risky play that more cautious investors might want to skip out on. Overall, we give CAAP a Hold recommendation and a C Zen Rating.  

🔥 HOT: Digital transformation and IT services company Mastech Digital (NYSE: MHH) gained 8.8% on Wednesday after reporting fourth-quarter earnings late last week. The company’s data and analytics revenue increased to $36.6 million for the quarter, prompting enthusiasm from analysts who anticipate greater growth from this portion of the business than from the company’s comparatively stagnant IT staffing segment. Our research gives the company a B rating for Value and Financials and an A rating for Growth, making it a good bet for investors looking to add some upside potential. MHH receives a Zen Rating of A and a Strong Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Intel’s (NASDAQ: INTC) recent run-up doesn’t change our fundamental opinion of the stock. INTC gained 31.0% over five trading days after flirting with a deal with TSMC, but we feel that the long-term prospects for Intel remain poor. The stock lost 6.9% on Wednesday, and it’s still down more than 40% year-over-year. Intel’s long-term momentum is poor (here’s why that matters), and its financials don’t instill confidence in its stability. We’re standing our ground and maintaining our F Zen Rating and Strong Sell recommendation for INTC.
