This week, we purchased shares in companies that had promising earnings but negative stock reactions or demonstrated positive catalysts.

Elevated bond yields and geopolitical uncertainty continued to be negative for stocks this week as the overall market moved into oversold territory. However, that set us up to put cash to work and make four small buys as our discipline mandates. We also upgraded one of our tech giants after it reported a stellar quarter but saw its stock punished. The 10-year Treasury yield went back above 5% this week after crossing that threshold for the first time since July 2007 on Oct. 19.

mountain Oracle YTD However, shares fell on worries that cash flows from AI workloads would be further out in the future. The lack of immediate revenue upside from AI also caused Oracle shares to drop 13.5% on Sept.12, the day after it reported earnings. Given the company's fundamentals are intact and there's strong sustained demand for its AI services, we saw the pullback as a buying opportunity.

mountain Coterra Energy YTD We bought 200 more shares of Coterra Energy . When decided to take our profits and exit Pioneer Natural Resources last week following Exxon Mobil acquisition announcement, it was our plan to purchase more Coterra on a pullback. We waited. It happened and, we made the trade. Coterra is about 50/50 oil and natural gas — so price moves in these commodities are always going to influence shares.

mountain Meta Platforms YTD We also on Thursday decided to upgrade Meta Platforms to our buy-equivalent 1 rating as the stock riding a two-day losing streak. The social media giant reported solid third-quarter results Wednesday evening. However, shares sank after management delivered conservative revenue guidance, citing volatility in advertising spending at the start of the fourth quarter due to the Israeli-Hamas war.
