🔥 HOT: Global oil and gas company TechnipFMC (NYSE: FTI) gained 4.0% on Wednesday after Piper Sandler raised its rating for the company to overweight and increased its price target to $40.00 per share. FTI has performed well this year, with B ratings in Safety and Financials. We see additional upside for the stock, but also are aware that it's approaching overbought territory. We give FTI a B Zen Rating and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Shares of online pet supply giant Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) lost 11.0% on Wednesday after the company issued disappointing guidance for the remainder of 2025 during its earnings call. While the company’s first-quarter results were impressive, showing an 8.3% bump in sales from last year, the forward guidance was concerning enough to trigger a selloff. But here’s the thing: Chewy’s Growth and Financials ratings are still solid B’s, which means that the company is in a relatively good state despite short-term concerns over decreasing demand. While we feel that Chewy still has some upside, it’s not enough to elevate it above a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.

🔥 HOT: CF Industries Holdings (NYSE: CF), a worldwide leader in nitrogen production, has been trending upward in a tight channel for around three months. The stock gained an additional 3.4% on Wednesday, bringing its total gain since March 11th to 22.8%. The company is benefiting from an increasing global demand for fertilizer, which has nitrogen as one of its primary components. The global corn stock reached its lowest point since 2013, which CF advised means that there will be steady demand for fertilizer products as farms around the world ramp up production. Our analysis gives CF a B rating in Value and an A in Financials, making it a solid buy for the mid-term. We give the stock an overall Zen Rating of B and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) lost 6.3% on Wednesday, giving back nearly all of the 7.8% it gained on Tuesday. The trouble with Intel is that it’s been playing catch-up for several years now, and while it’s spent north of $50 billion on improving its AI accelerator chips, it’s still light years behind Nvidia for hardcore machine learning workloads. Intel is hanging in there, however, and could break out if its next generation of chips lives up to expectations. For now, we give INTC a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.
