Autos & Tech
Tesla Wants To Be Your Next Taxi Driver
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) just picked up a permit in Arizona to run a ride-hail service, another baby step from cool car to rolling robotaxi. It already has a pilot going in Austin with safety drivers, and now Phoenix is on the roadmap as it tries to turn all that self-driving talk into actual rides you can order.
The catch is rivals like Waymo and Baidu’s Apollo Go are already doing the fully driverless thing at real scale. Tesla is still in the permits, pilots, and promises phase, with humans sitting in the front seat and regulators keeping a close eye on every fender-bender.
That leaves the stock trading just as much on story as on progress. If the robotaxi dream gets real, it’s huge. If it slips again, this just becomes another chapter in the next year for sure saga that long-time Tesla watchers know by heart.
My Take For You: If you’re in, size it like a volatile side bet and don’t anchor on robotaxis bailing out every dip. If you’re new, wait for either clearer milestones or a pullback.
My Verdict: High-octane growth story, but treat the autonomy angle as upside optionality, not a guaranteed ending. Fun if you can handle drama, not a core holding for nervous sleepers.

Lowe’s Is Still Waiting For The Big Project
Lowe's Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW) beat earnings by a hair but came up light on sales, which is a fancy way of saying people bought stuff, just not quite as much as Wall Street hoped. The stock’s been ground down over the last year as homeowners delay big renovations and stare at their mortgage rate like it’s a horror movie.
Management’s guidance says steady, not spectacular, with next year’s revenue and profits basically in line with expectations. The good news is this isn’t a broken business, it’s a solid chain stuck in a wait-and-see cycle where big remodels are on pause and smaller tickets are doing most of the work.
For you, this is more slow burn than breaking news. The dividend helps, the brand is strong, and eventually, people stop waiting and start fixing things again. The timing of that turn, though, is more about rates and housing than clever marketing.
My Take For You: Income-minded investors can nibble and let time do the heavy lifting, but there’s no need to rush in after a weak stretch. If you’re already holding, use pops to trim if the position feels too heavy.
My Verdict: Steady long-term candidate, best held in modest size while you wait for housing and confidence to thaw, not something you expect to moon next quarter.

Don’t Look Now, But Constellation Just Got A Billion-Dollar Green Light
Constellation Energy is getting a $1 billion federal loan to restart the Three Mile Island reactor, turning a shuttered symbol into a fresh source of AI-ready electricity.
For a company already crowned as the top carbon-free power producer, that’s a serious vote of confidence from D.C. and a big nudge to nuclear’s comeback story.
The logic is that data centers and AI are gobbling power, and the grid needs dependable juice that doesn’t spew extra emissions. A cheap government loan helps Constellation finance that restart without torching its own balance sheet, while locking in a long-lived asset that can feed both Microsoft and the grid for decades.
The flip side is that the stock’s already had a monster run, and nuclear projects aren’t exactly famous for being ahead of schedule or under budget. You’re paying up today for a mix of policy tailwinds, tight power markets, and the promise that this isn’t just a one-off win.
My Take For You: If you like the nuclear + AI theme, this can be a long-term win, just build the position slowly and expect bumps along the way. If you’re sitting on big gains, consider peeling a little off.
My Verdict: Quality compounder with a strong story behind it, but best treated as a long-haul hold, not a quick trade on one loan headline.

Movers and Shakers
Target Corp [TGT]: Premarket Move: −2%
Shoppers are still coming in for candles and throw pillows, just not often enough to keep the C-suite happy.
A soft quarter and trimmed profit outlook say the bullseye has faded a bit, and four years of blah sales have investors wondering if this is still the cool kid of big-box or just the one with the messy aisles.
My Take: If you’re already in, keep it small and treat any relief rallies as chances to trim. If you’re new, wait for proof that traffic is actually turning before you aim at this bullseye.
La-Z-Boy Inc [LZB]: Premarket Move: +7%
Apparently, the couch trade isn’t dead yet. La-Z-Boy beat earnings, nudged revenue higher, and the stock popped like someone found $20 in the recliner cushions.
They’re leaning into higher-margin wholesale, pruning weaker businesses, and still finding room to bump the dividend.
My Take: Fine for a small, income-leaning position if you like steady dividends and can live with boring-choppy price action. If you’re just chasing the pop, don’t fall asleep in the chair holding a full-sized position.
Wix.com Ltd [WIX]: Premarket Move: −6%
When a stock is down 40% on the year and your bad news is just a price-target trim with a still-bullish rating, you’re basically watching investor mood swings in real time.
Wix is still growing, still throwing off cash, and still getting love from analysts… just with slightly less superhero cape in the numbers.
My Take: If you believe the long-term story, this kind of wobble is where you scale in slowly, not all at once. If you’re allergic to volatility, keep it on the watch list and wait for the chart to calm down first.
