I Underestimated Eli Lilly: Retatrutide Changes The Risk/Reward (Rating Upgrade)

Summary I underestimated Eli Lilly and Company. LLY's Retatrutide showed promising efficacy in TRIUMPH-2/TRIUMPH-3 trials, and if approved by the FDA, I believe it could become the "gold standard" in the obesity market. Meanwhile, Jaypirca generated $192 million in sales for Eli Lilly in Q2, up 56.4% year-on-year, despite competitive pressure from AstraZeneca's Calquence and BeOne Medicines' Brukinsa. Also, Eli Lilly raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance from $82-$85 billion to $85-$87 billion. In this article, I explain why I'm upgrading my LLY stock rating from Hold to Buy.

Apple: A Rare Downgrade That Has Nothing To Do With AI

Summary Apple Inc. delivered record June quarter results, but margin erosion and a cautious outlook prompted a downgrade from Strong Buy to Hold. AAPL's gross margin, excluding tariff refunds, is declining sharply—projected to fall nearly 3 percentage points in six months as memory costs surge. Supply constraints and rising component prices are set to pressure AAPL's September quarter results, with revenue growth guided below Street expectations. China revenue has rebounded to record levels even before Apple Intelligence launches, but near-term margin and supply headwinds outweigh this positive. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

The May 20 catalyst resolved as a beat: raising my base fair value from $167 to ~$250

Scoring the thesis. My base case framed the 20 May FY2027 Q1 print as the defining test, and it landed decisively bullish: record revenue of $81.6B (+85% YoY, +20% QoQ) versus the ~$78.8B Street estimate; Data Center $75.2B (+92% YoY), about 87% of revenue — exactly the mix my base case assumed; gross margin ~75%, a touch better than the 74% I modelled; and roughly $20B returned to shareholders.

Stick To Berkshire In A Risky Market After Solid Earnings And Increased Share Buybacks

Summary Berkshire Hathaway's recent Q2 earnings report showed huge improvement in operating results along with a jump in share buybacks which may approach 2021's $50+ billion. Both operating improvements and the Taylor Morrison purchase show how Greg Abel applies his business knowledge and skills in making investments. BRK.B may be the stock to depend on in a market with the S&P 500 three standard deviations above its long term trend. A correction can come at any time, perhaps months, perhaps years, but Berkshire has a record of outperforming in tough times. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
