The small-rocket specialist just signed three more dedicated missions with a returning customer, pushing its manifest higher and flexing that build-launch-separate vertical stack.

Tiny Energy Stock (Sponsored)
Every giant starts small.
Tesla once traded for just a few dollars. Enphase was a penny stock. Now they are worth billions because they were early in an industry about to explode.
Energy storage is the next boom. By 2030, the US market is projected at $465 billion, a 75% surge from today’s $265 billion. Electricity prices are rising too, up 6.5% since 2024, with some states warning of 30% to 60% hikes.
This is not a problem going away. It is a megatrend only getting stronger.
And sitting right in the middle is a small US company that nobody talks about. Market cap? Just $177 million. Growth? More than 200% revenue expansion year over year. Institutional ownership is already over 30%. And government-backed projects proving the model in the field.
The best part? Trump’s new tariffs. Rivals could face 34% penalties on imported batteries. Enphase already admitted it will hit margins. This small stock avoids the squeeze thanks to its US and Austrian supply chain.
This is the setup investors dream about. A tiny stock in a $465 billion industry, with triple-digit growth and the billionaires already betting big on the sector.

The Confluent Stream Just Found a Bigger River

Confluent (NASDAQ: CFLT) popped after reports said it is exploring a sale, and suddenly the data-streaming kid everyone overlooked is getting asked to prom. Private equity and a few strategics are sniffing around because the valuation deflated this year and the product is mission-critical when you want AI models fed in real time.
Yes, a major customer bailed in the summer and that dinged confidence, but the platform still sits in a sweet spot between legacy Kafka DIY and cloud convenience. Wells Fargo even kicked off coverage recently leaning positive, framing Confluent as the default for enterprises that don’t want to build plumbing from scratch.
If a process is real, the upside is a takeout premium and the relief of less quarterly whiplash. The downside is what happens if the rumor cycle cools and you’re left holding a perfectly fine software name that just ran on M&A hope. Also, PE math can mean cost cuts and heavy leverage, which works until it doesn’t.
My Take For You: Traders can ride the rumor with tight risk. Investors should scale in only on red and treat any confirmed process as a free option rather than the thesis.
My Verdict: Rent the squeeze, own the rails on dips. Watch ARR growth, cloud attach, and whether bids turn into binding offers.

Biotech
Gene Therapy at Sarepta Hopes to Outrun Old Scars

Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) is perking up into its World Muscle Society updates, showcasing safety and micro-dystrophin expression for its Duchenne gene therapy in younger kids, plus new real-world data on other treatments.
That is the kind of science-day sunlight the stock badly needed after a brutal year and high-profile safety headlines. Regulators allowed shipments to resume for ambulatory patients while labels get sorted, so the path is not closed, just narrow and bumpy.
The setup is classic biotech: low expectations, a catalyst calendar, and a share price that already did most of the falling. The trap is assuming conference slides settle the long-term risk profile or unlock the non-ambulatory population overnight.
Manufacturing, durability, liver monitoring, and payer dynamics still matter more than any single poster session. M&A chatter always floats around names this beaten down, but you cannot bank a buyout.
My Take For You: If you’re underwater, consider trimming into strength to lower stress. Fresh eyes should size small, use stops, and wait for the full data pack and any labeling moves before getting brave.
My Verdict: High-octane bounce candidate, not a set-and-forget. Trade catalysts, invest only if you accept binary risk and a very twisty road.

Next Peptide Plays (Sponsored)
On Behalf of Pangea Natural Foods
Sometimes what drives a stock isn’t the size of the company.
It’s the size of the float.
This story is no different. A Canadian wellness innovator with fewer than 30 million shares available for trading is developing needle-free peptide products at exactly the right time.
That scarcity matters. Because when momentum meets limited supply, the price can move quickly.
What’s fueling demand?
Science-backed compounds called peptides. Once confined to syringes and elite clinics, they’re now being delivered in simple capsules, creams, and patches. It’s a shift that makes peptides accessible to millions of consumers for the first time.
The market already proved its appetite. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly turned peptide therapies like Ozempic into hundreds of billions in market value. Smaller players like Zealand Pharma and Rhythm climbed from micro-caps into multi-billion valuations.
But here’s the difference. Those giants are tied to needles, prescriptions, and clinical pipelines. This company is going straight to the consumer with needle-free delivery.
It owns the manufacturing. It controls the formulations. It’s already online with sales and exposure at major health expos.
And with such a small float, any spike in interest could magnify fast.
The setup is rare. The timing is now.
Unlock the full report right here.

Space
More Tickets Punched for the Small Rocket Lab That Could

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) added three dedicated launches for Japan’s IQPS, taking that customer’s Electron manifest to seven and reminding everyone why reliable and on time is a moat in small-sat land.
Each mission is clean, vertical, and fully Rocket Lab from separation hardware to orbit, which keeps margins in-house and schedules sane. Layer in a fresh Synspective deal for ten more Electrons and you get a backlog that looks less like a startup and more like an aerospace supplier with rhythm.
The real swing factor sits over the horizon with Neutron. If they nail that medium-lift vehicle, the TAM expands and the multiple might grow with it. If it slips, you’re back to counting Electrons and hoping cadence offsets mix.
Competition is no joke either, because SpaceX exists and others are lining up with reusable ambitions.
My Take For You: Momentum players can lean long while contracts stack, but take profits into vertical spikes. Long-term holders should focus on launch cadence, gross margin progress, and Neutron milestones rather than every press release pop.
My Verdict: Accumulate on dips while the manifest fattens. Keep position sizing honest until Neutron clears big gates, then reassess the throttle.

Poll: You can only check your portfolio once a year. What do you invest in?

Movers and Shakers

Diginex [DGNX]: Premarket Move: +23%
The ESG/RegTech rocket is back on after-hours fuel. Fresh deal chatter and a still-spicy narrative around AI+ESG have traders treating this like a moon mission, not a spreadsheet. The company’s been using high-flying stock as acquisition currency, which is great when the wind’s at your back and terrifying when it shifts. Valuation? Let’s just say it’s living in the nosebleeds, waving down at Earth with a tiny revenue flag.
This is one of those story first, fundamentals later runs. Fun while it’s green, but gravity checks show up uninvited and right on time.
My Take: Momentum-only, starter size, tight stops. If you rode it up, trail gains and don’t get obsessed. If you’re flat, look for a clean pullback or a red-to-green flip, don’t buy straight into a vertical.
Eightco Holdings [ORBS]: Premarket Move: +6%
A new chairman video dropped and the plan is basically collect ’em all for Worldcoin. Think Proof-of-Human meets proof-you-like-volatility. Big talk, big totals, and a fresh PIPE in the rearview, plus a vision that scales faster than your risk tolerance. If WLD becomes the internet’s bouncer, this could be a levered bet on that future. If not, well, you just bought a front-row seat to a crypto soap opera.
It’s the kind of storyline the market loves. Massive TAM, shiny narrative, and just enough numbers to sound official. Execution, dilution, and token risk still lurk offscreen.
My Take: Treat it like a high-beta side quest tied to WLD adoption. Tiny position, hard stops, and don’t forget this is crypto-adjacent drama, fun to watch, brutal to chase.
Joby Aviation [JOBY]: Premarket Move: −10%
The air-taxi dream just did a mid-flight refuel with a big equity raise. Cash for certification and manufacturing is good news for runway, less cute for existing holders who woke up a few shares lighter. The discount pricing gives traders a new magnet on the chart, and until the tape digests it, turbulence is the base case.
Think of it as swapping range anxiety for carry-on dilution. The story’s intact, but the market will likely try to pin price near the offering level before deciding the next leg.
My Take: If you’re long-term, watch for stabilization around the offering price and add in drips, not gulps. If you’re trading, wait for the bounce-test-bounce pattern, knife catching in eVTOLs is still knife catching.

America’s Energy Boom (Sponsored)
The numbers do not lie.
The US energy storage industry is already booming. From $265 billion today, it is projected to reach $465 billion by 2030. That is 75% growth in just a few short years.
And electricity bills are rising fast. Since 2024, US power costs are up 6.5%. Analysts see another 8% jump nationwide by 2030, with some states facing 30% to 60% spikes. Families need backup. Businesses need resilience. Utilities need stability.
The giants are capitalizing. Tesla booked more than $10 billion in storage revenue. Enphase pulled in $356 million in a single quarter. Generac sold hundreds of millions.
But here is the opening. One US battery stock is still tiny. It trades at just $177 million but already posted three straight record quarters. Revenue has more than tripled year over year, and multimillion-dollar orders keep building.
Now add Trump’s new tariff bombshell. Starting in 2026, imported batteries could face penalties of up to 34%. Enphase has already warned margins will drop by 6 to 8 points. But this small company sources from the US and Austria. Instead of pain, tariffs become profit.
This is exactly the kind of setup early investors dream about. Big market. Fast growth. A small cap positioned to win while giants stumble.

Everything Else
Europe’s new steel tariffs spooked automakers, because nothing says supply chain fun like pricier metal for your most expensive parts.
SoftBank is buying ABB’s robotics unit for $5.4B, which is basically adopting a robot army to babysit its AI ambitions.
Gold’s record run is turning jewelry shopping into window shopping, because the bling tastes the same, but the price tag bites harder.
A jury told J&J to fork over $966 million in a talc case, reminding everyone that legal overhangs don’t care about your earnings calendar.
