This company is proving that you can open new stores, raise prices, and still keep customers coming back.

The setup is to ride the expansion while the unit economics stay strong, and only add if the next update confirms demand is still doing the heavy lifting.

For decades, one type of investment was reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

Then Trump signed Executive Order 14330 - and opened it to everyone.

Now you can get into this boom for less than $20.

Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM)

Catalyst: Flexible payments stay popular when the credit math behaves

Affirm is the checkout option that helps shoppers spread out a purchase without reaching for a credit card. That is a useful value prop when budgets are tight, but this story lives and dies by underwriting discipline. Growth looks great until losses show up and ruin the party.

The best version of Affirm is steady merchant wins, improving credit performance, and funding costs that do not squeeze margins. When those pieces line up, investors treat it like a scaled fintech winner. When they do not, the stock can wobble like a shopping cart with one bad wheel.

What to watch: Loss rates, funding costs, merchant mix, and whether guidance implies growth with control, not growth at any price.

The warning signs are everywhere – even Wall Street’s own CEOs are calling for a selloff.

But before you sell a single stock, there’s something you need to see.

One of Wall Street’s longest insiders is stepping forward with his own market warning.

The last time he did this, retail investors went on to lose nearly 50% of their wealth.

Here’s what to do with your stocks NOW to prepare.

GitLab Inc. (GTLB)

Catalyst: Developer tools can get sticky because nobody wants to rip out workflow software

GitLab sells tools that teams use daily, which is exactly why it can become hard to replace. The bull case is that companies keep consolidating tools, and a platform that improves productivity and security can keep its seat at the budget table even when spending tightens.

The risk is competition and deal slippage. If customers slow expansions or stretch decision cycles, the stock tends to feel it quickly. If adoption keeps widening inside accounts, GitLab can keep compounding quietly while louder names steal the headlines.

What to watch: Customer expansion trends, large-deal momentum, retention signals, and operating discipline as the business scales.

monday.com Ltd. (MNDY)

Catalyst: Businesses cut chaos before they cut tools that keep work moving

monday.com is an organization platform, which sounds boring until you realize most companies run on messy handoffs and endless follow-ups. If a product helps teams plan projects, track work, and reduce daily friction, it can stick around even when budgets are under pressure.

The upside is continued growth with improving profitability, the combo that makes markets smile. The risk is that project management is crowded and customers can get picky. monday.com wins when it stays easy to adopt, expands use cases, and does not spend recklessly to grow.

What to watch: Growth in larger customers, expansion within accounts, margin improvement, and any hints that demand is being pulled forward rather than sustained.

Astera Labs, Inc. (ALAB)

Catalyst: As AI systems get more complex, the connectivity layer matters more

Astera plays in the behind-the-scenes plumbing of high-performance systems, where reliability and speed actually matter. As AI infrastructure grows, the industry needs more efficient data movement across increasingly complex hardware. That is the lane Astera is trying to own.

This is not a calm-and-collected stock. It can swing hard because it sits close to the AI spending narrative. If the company keeps stacking design wins and broadening its customer base, the story gets stronger. If demand expectations cool, the multiple can shrink fast.

What to watch: Guidance tone, new design wins, customer concentration, and signs the demand story is broadening rather than leaning on one big driver.

CAVA Group, Inc. (CAVA)

Catalyst: When a concept wins hearts and stomachs, new locations become a growth machine

CAVA is the kind of brand that starts as a favorite lunch spot and then quietly becomes a national habit. The bull case is straightforward: strong store-level economics, repeat customers, and a long runway to add locations without needing to reinvent the menu every quarter.

The main risk is the classic restaurant faceplant. Scaling can turn fast and messy if service slips, food quality drifts, or new locations open before the company has the operating rhythm nailed down. If that happens, the market stops pricing in growth and starts pricing in headaches.

What to watch: Same-store sales, new-store performance, margin trends, and whether traffic holds up without heavy discounting.

Final Word

This week is about execution and repeatable demand. CAVA is the anchor because it has visible growth you can measure in store openings, traffic, and unit economics. The rest of the list spreads the theme across consumer spending behavior, sticky workflow software, and infrastructure plumbing tied to real buildouts.

If you want a simple plan, start small, add only when the next earnings update confirms the thesis, and keep your risk rules tight when momentum names get moody.
