🔥 HOT: Insurance and investment management company Tiptree (NASDAQ: TIPT) continues to push its all-time high, gaining another 7.1% on Tuesday to close at a record price of $24.89 per share. The stock has already gained 18.4% YTD, and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down. Trading volume on TIPT was 2.9 times its typical volume on Tuesday, which shows confidence and commitment from the buyers fueling the move up. We give TIPT a Strong Buy recommendation and an A Zen Rating, mostly due to the stock’s current momentum and continued capacity for mid and long-term growth.

🥶 NOT: Shares of UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF) lost 14.3% on Tuesday after Cintas announced that it was no longer considering acquiring UniFirst. The two parties reportedly could not come to terms, and discussions ended with no plans for them to resume. The end of negotiations with Cintas is a huge blow for UniFirst and leaves it down 2.2% YTD. We don’t think this is a death knell for UNF by any means and maintain our C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation for the stock.

🔥 HOT: M-tron Industries (NYSE: MPTI) gained 5.9% on Tuesday, bringing its total gain over the last week and a half to 22.6%. We’re big fans of MPTI and see it as one of the most promising growth stocks on Wall Street right now. From a technical perspective, the stock's recent dip offers an attractive entry point, especially now that it’s climbed back above its 20-day moving average. MPTI also has solid fundamentals, with a B rating for Financials and an A rating for Sentiment. Overall, we give MPTI an A Zen Rating and a Strong Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: To say that MicroAlgo (NASDAQ: MLGO) has had some increased volatility lately would be the understatement of the decade. MLGO gained nearly 700% on Monday on volume more than 10 times its typical levels after the company announced that it would be issuing new shares at $0.80 per share to cover some of its debt. The stock lost 14.7% on Tuesday, which still leaves it up quite a lot over the last two days but is a sign that the move is over. We give MLGO a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.
