🔥 HOT: Centene Corporation’s (NYSE: CNC) stock has been on sale for almost two months. The stock lost 14.3% since early May before gaining 4.4% on Tuesday, kicking off what could turn into a nice run. Our research gives CNC a B rating in Growth and an A rating in Value, indicating that its current price is a steal and likely well below what it’s actually worth. Even after Tuesday’s gain, we believe CNC has much further to go before it cools off. We give the stock a B Zen Rating and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) stopped its own rally in its tracks by announcing that it would raise capital by selling $750 million worth of common stock and $600 million worth of convertible notes. The money will be used to pay off its existing debt and increase its manufacturing capacity. Until the announcement, AVAV had gained 47.6% following an outstanding earnings report last week. Investors are often wary when a company decides to take on more debt, but the timing seems right for AVAV since its recent success has given it a lot of wiggle room. We see significant growth potential for AVAV and assign it a B rating. Our research also gives the stock a D rating in Artificial Intelligence, so we’ve decided to be conservative and issue AVAV a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation for now.

🔥 HOT: Shares of Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) popped for a 4.3% gain on Tuesday after the company announced that it reached a multi-year deal with multiple gambling companies to create casino games out of its intellectual property. The company plans to license out Monopoly and its other recognizable brands to put versions of its classic board games into casinos around the world starting in 2026. Hasbro’s A rating in Financials is a positive sign that the business is well-positioned for expansion and suggests that entering the growing gaming space could be a key move for future growth. We give HAS a B Zen Rating and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM) lost 6.4% on Tuesday as the company continues to deal with fallout from a class action lawsuit against it. The suit alleges that the company engaged in securities fraud and exaggerated the extent of its relationships with several major partner companies. The long-term growth potential for Tempus remains high, in our opinion, but the stock could continue to drop while the lawsuit continues. Our analysis gives the stock an A rating in Growth but D ratings in Safety and Sentiment, giving it an overall Zen Rating of C and a Hold recommendation.
