🔥 HOT: Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) gained 2.4% on Wednesday after rolling out same-day delivery in its Denver locations. The stock has been absolutely killing it this year and has gained 59.6% in 2025, quite the feat given that the S&P 500 is down 0.29% over the same period. Our internal metrics reveal a lot of upside for CVNA, with A ratings in Growth and Sentiment and a B rating in Financials. Despite its already impressive run, we give CVNA a Buy recommendation and a B Zen Rating.

🥶 NOT: Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) lost 1.7% on Wednesday, one day after announcing that sales of the company’s vehicles fell by 49% in Europe. Tesla’s 66.6% rally since its recent low is little more than hype, in our opinion. Sentiment (F rating) surrounding the company is at an all-time low, and its Value (D rating) and Growth (D rating) potential don’t fare much better. Tesla is overbought according to our analysis, and we give the stock a Zen Rating of F and a Strong Sell recommendation.

🔥 HOT: Shares of Applovin Corporation (NASDAQ: APP) gained 2.4% on Wednesday as the company extended its winning streak to three consecutive days. The company outstrips its competition in the business services sector, exceeding Wall Street’s earnings expectations by an average of around 20% in each of the last four quarters. Our analysis gives the company a B Zen Rating and a Buy recommendation, largely thanks to its excellent A rating in Financials.

🥶 NOT: GameStop (NYSE: GME) took a sharp turn lower on Wednesday after purchasing around $50 million worth of Bitcoin. The stock gapped up before giving it all back and then some to lose 10.9% by the closing bell. GameStop reports earnings next Wednesday, June 3rd, but we’re not sure you should scoop up any shares even after this mini-skid. Our research gives GME D ratings in Safety and Value. The only positive metric we find is the A rating it gets in Sentiment. Overall, we feel that GME deserves a Hold recommendation and a C Zen Rating.
