PDD Holdings: Headline Numbers Of 2.4% Hide The True Growth

Summary PDD Holdings is deeply undervalued at 4x ex-cash operating earnings, with market fears of domestic collapse unjustified by core growth metrics. Headline ad revenue growth is distorted by coupon accounting; true underlying ad growth is likely 12-15%, and operating profit rose 22%. Temu's business model is transitioning due to tariffs, with longer-term benefits from a less capital-intensive, more monetizable, semi-managed approach. I rate PDD a Strong Buy, as accounting opacity and strategic secrecy compress multiples, creating a substantial entry point despite real competitive and regulatory risks.

Kohl's (KSS) Stock Could Be 66% Undervalued After COO Appointment

Kohl's (KSS) has put operations at the center of its turnaround story by appointing Elliott Rodgers as Chief Operating Officer, giving him oversight of nearly 1,200 stores and its global supply chain. See our latest analysis for Kohl's. Against this backdrop, Kohl's 1 month share price return of 35.8% and 3 month share price return of 38.8% point to building momentum, even though the year to date share price return is down 19.2% and the 5 year total shareholder return is down 58.9%.

Eightco Holdings: A Tiny Public Backdoor To OpenAI, But Dilution Is The Catch

Summary Eightco Holdings is best viewed as a speculative treasury play with indirect OpenAI exposure, not as an operating company. I rate ORBS a Hold, driven by its $90M indirect OpenAI stake via SPVs, despite major dilution and weak operating performance. ORBS's operating business is deteriorating, with Q1 2026 revenue down to $7.6M and a net loss of $76.1M, making asset value the primary focus. Massive dilution and lack of transparency in the OpenAI SPV structure are key risks; I recommend monitoring for AI IPO-driven momentum. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Etsy (ETSY) has drawn fresh attention with its “Shop Other Jeffs” campaign, a broad media push timed to Amazon’s Prime Day that spotlights independent sellers and handmade products during a key shopping window. See our latest analysis for Etsy. The recent “Shop Other Jeffs” push lands while Etsy’s 30-day share price return of 28.36% and 90-day return of 39.95% signal building momentum, even as the 5-year total shareholder return is down 59.26%.

BABA: Cloud And AI Reinvention Will Drive Future Multiple Repricing

Alibaba Group Holding’s updated analyst price target edges slightly higher as analysts factor in ongoing heavy investment, a modestly lower fair value estimate near $191.56, and a somewhat richer future P/E of about 23x, supported by continued strength in the cloud and AI businesses. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research around Alibaba Group Holding highlights a cluster of upward price target revisions following the latest quarterly results, with analysts weighing heavy reinvestment in cloud and AI against near term pressure on profitability.

Macy's: Salvaged From The Dumpster, This Is A Growth Story Again

Summary Macy’s has defied sector pessimism, delivering >100% stock gains in twelve months and reaching new multiyear highs after a strong Q1 beat-and-raise. I reiterate my buy rating, citing continued upside driven by resilient sales to higher-income consumers, operational rigor, and new growth avenues. M remains attractively valued at 11.4x FY26 P/E and 10.3x FY27 P/E, trading below peers like Kohl’s despite stronger sales momentum. Operational improvements—AI-driven forecasting, logistics gains, and fresher inventory—position M for further margin expansion and reduced reliance on markdowns.
