Project flow is improving, and premium clients are leaning back in. I’ll lay out a step-by-step buy plan, starter tranche now, adds on quiet red days, a profit skim on strength, and the two trend checks that tell you when to press or pause.
WhatsApp Business Calls, Now in Synthflow
Billions of customers already use WhatsApp to reach businesses they trust. But here’s the gap: 65% still prefer voice for urgent issues, while 40% of calls go unanswered — costing $100–$200 in lost revenue each time. That’s trust and revenue walking out the door.
With Synthflow, Voice AI Agents can now answer WhatsApp calls directly, combining support, booking, routing, and follow-ups in one conversation.
It’s not just answering calls — it’s protecting revenue and trust where your customers already are.
One channel, zero missed calls.
Futures at a Glance📈
Red is back on the screen as the AI trade cools, with Palantir’s guidance vibes tugging chip and cloud giants lower and breadth looking wobbly again. Big-bank chiefs are floating drawdown talk, which isn’t helping nerves, even as the megacap tech camp still has believers pointing to capex tailwinds and an easier Fed.

Starbucks Hands The China Wheel To A Local Co-Pilot
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ: SBUX) is handing majority control of its China business to Boyu and keeping the brand keys. Think of it like switching from a solo road trip to a rideshare with the local partner driving and Starbucks picking the playlist.
The goal is simple: to open stores faster in more cities without getting dragged into a latte price war.
Competition has been spicy. Local chains sell solid coffee at budget-menu prices, and Starbucks lost share while trying to be the place you hang, not the place you sprint through. Teaming up with Boyu adds local muscle on real estate, operations, and digital, so the store count can grow without the corporate hamstrings cramping.
For investors, the story isn’t overnight fireworks. It’s a slow rebuild with better coverage in smaller cities, more local flavors, and a model that leans into premium experience instead of coupon arm-wrestling. Execution beats slogans here.
My Take For You: Start with a small starter position, then add on pullbacks if store growth and traffic trends improve in China. Keep the position size reasonable until you see steady comp momentum and fewer margin wobbles.
My Verdict: Accumulate gradually. It’s a credible pivot with a patient clock, not a moonshot trade.
Electronics
Fabrinet Keeps The Lights Bright In The AI Parts Aisle
Fabrinet (NYSE: FN) builds the precision guts that let bigger brands shine. We’re talking optics, modules, and other behind-the-scenes hardware that make fast networks and fancy boxes actually work. The latest update showed steady execution and demand that still looks like a moving walkway, not a broken escalator.
It helps that the company lives in the hardware space. When cloud folks and communications players ramp, manufacturers that assemble the delicate stuff usually stay busy.
Fabrinet has made a habit of hitting deadlines and keeping quality high, which is how you become the quiet favorite in big supply chains.
Stocks like this can drift when sentiment rotates, but the core pitch is simple: if AI and faster networks keep expanding, the subcontractors who deliver on time keep getting called back.
My Take For You: Treat it as a steady compounder in a spicy neighborhood. Build a position in steps, trim a little into strong runs, and use a clear line in the sand if the broader hardware cycle cools.
My Verdict: Accumulate on normal pullbacks. Solid operator with real leverage to long-haul trends, just don’t size it like a hero in a hardware cycle.

Upwork Finds Its Groove As Freelancers Get Busy Again
Upwork Inc. (NASDAQ: UPWK) got a fresh nod higher after signs that projects are flowing, especially anything with AI in the job description. Think of it as the digital job bazaar getting louder again, with more buyers, more sellers, and fewer tumbleweeds rolling through the enterprise aisle.
The company has been tightening the product, pushing premium tiers, and courting bigger clients who want vetted talent instead of inbox chaos. When large customers lean in, take rates and loyalty tend to follow.
Add the AI tailwind, as lots of teams are hiring help to bolt smarts onto their apps, and you get a story that finally sounds less defensive and more growthy.
Volatility will still show up because gig spending can wobble with headlines. But the direction of travel looks cleaner than it has in a while, and the platform’s mix shift toward higher-value work is the right kind of boring.
My Take For You: Nibble on green mornings and save room to add on calm red days. Use a simple plan: scale in over a few tranches and reassess after the next update on enterprise wins and subscription traction.
My Verdict: Buy-on-dips setup. Keep expectations sane and let compounding do the heavy lifting, so maybe take a breather today.
Trivia: In what year did the Dow Jones Industrial Average first close above 10,000 points?
Movers and Shakers
SGHC Ltd [SGHC]: Premarket Move: +19%
Analysts are leaning in ahead of the call, and the stock’s acting like it just got a pep talk. Stronger engagement in key markets plus a shiny new payments wrinkle has bettors… well, betting on more momentum.
Just remember, these are gaming headlines on earnings day, which means swings can go from victory lap to video review in a hurry.
My Take: Ride the premarket tailwind with a starter slice, take a little off if the first spike sticks, and keep a tight exit if guidance gets cagey.
Exact Sciences [EXAS]: Premarket Move: +10%
A fresh target bump landed after screening growth impressed, and the move says investors like the story beyond the flagship kit. The broader pitch here is steady adoption beats flash, and that tends to travel well quarter to quarter.
That said, gap-ups can be excitable. Let it breathe so you’re not buying the last cookie on the tray.
My Take: Buy after the open only if the first pullback holds, scale on strength into the close, and reassess on the next update rather than chasing every green tick.
Sarepta Therapeutics [SRPT]: Premarket Move: −40%
Trial headlines hit like a freight train, and now you’ve got a biotech doing the limbo under prior floors. Earnings beats don’t matter when the pipeline story takes a gut punch.
Catches happen, but so do trap bounces. Respect the move lower for now.
My Take: This is a watch-and-wait setup. If you’re brave, think tiny and trade the intraday levels, otherwise, let clarity arrive before committing real capital.
