🔥 HOT: Flex Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) gained 5.2% on Wednesday, ending its mini three-day skid to close at an all-time high price of $50.74 per share. Keybanc raised its price target for the company to $60.00 from $50.00, which helped give the rally legs into the close. Our analysis gives Flex B ratings in Safety, Momentum, and Growth, which makes it a less risky choice if you’re looking to add some exposure to the Electronic Component industry. FLEX is up 31.8% YTD and gets a Zen Rating of B and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) lost 4.5% on Wednesday after its second-quarter sales numbers came in lower than expected. Sales fell 23% compared to the second quarter of last year, and while the company didn’t change its full-year guidance, the sales numbers were enough to send some investors heading for the hills. Rivian is counting on its sales increasing in the second half of the year, which is reasonably likely given how its sales were distributed last year. We give RIVN an A rating in Growth and a B in Sentiment, but D Ratings in Financials, Safety, and Value. All in all, RIVN is a bit of a mixed bag right now. We give the stock a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.

🔥 HOT: Shares of Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) gained 4.7% on Wednesday after the company extended its credit maturity date to July 2030. Reddit also lowered its total credit commitment to $500 million, giving investors confidence that the company will be able to handle its debt while continuing to grow. The credit move earned RDDT a B rating in Financials, which, when combined with its B ratings in Growth and Sentiment, gives it an overall Zen Rating of B and a Buy recommendation.

🥶 NOT: UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) lost 5.7% on Wednesday after Centene announced that it was no longer planning on providing a full-year outlook for 2025, sending a shockwave through the entire health care sector. UNH was already on our radar as a stock to avoid due to poor Sentiment (D rating) and declining Momentum (D rating), so this news reinforces our opinion that it’s a good time to steer clear. We give UNH a C Zen Rating and a Hold recommendation.
