Long Picks
Samsara Inc. IOT
Technical Setup
- Price is above the 50-day SMA (~30.6) and attempting to build higher lows; improving short-term momentum - RSI in neutral zone per multi-indicator dashboards; room to the upside before overbought - Well-traded with multi-million share days; liquidity ample for scaling
Fundamental Driver
- ARR approaching ~$1.9B with ~30% YoY growth; large customer cohort ($100k+ ARR) growing faster than overall ARR - Path to sustained profitability improving; positive operating leverage and FCF trajectory - Large TAM across connected operations (telematics, video safety, asset tracking); continued product expansion and upsell - Liquidity: ADV > $20M (3M+ shares/day; >$90M notional)
Analyst Detail
Core long argument: Samsara is a high-quality mid-cap compounding story in connected operations software, with durable ARR growth, expanding large-customer mix, and improving profitability. Shares have reset YTD and now trade at a discount to prior multiples while execution and customer momentum remain solid. Near-term earnings could catalyze a re-rating if guidance and large-customer adds remain resilient.
Elastic N.V. ESTC
Technical Setup
- Reclaimed the 50-day SMA (~52); working on a higher-low pattern after a multi-month drawdown - Momentum improving; RSI mid-range, leaving runway before overbought - Volume/liquidity robust; typical trading >$100M/day notional
Fundamental Driver
- Search AI and security growth vectors underpinning double-digit revenue growth (~high-teens to ~20% YoY recently) - Expanding ecosystem: NVIDIA cuVS-accelerated vector indexing; integrations with LangChain and Google Cloud Vertex AI - Operating efficiency improved; path to stronger FCF margins as cloud consumption scales - Valuation sits below premium observability/AI peers on consensus EV/S; upside if growth re-accelerates - Liquidity: ADV > $20M
Analyst Detail
Core long argument: Elastic is a leveraged play on enterprise Search AI, observability, and security, with accelerating AI-related use cases. Product advances should support workload expansion and consumption growth. Shares have underperformed year-to-date, setting up an attractive skew if management reiterates solid demand trends and disciplined expense control.
UiPath Inc. PATH
Technical Setup
- Recently reclaimed 50-day SMA (~10.8) while still below 200-day SMA (~13.0); room for mean reversion toward longer-term trend - Momentum stabilizing after new-cycle lows; potential for event-driven breakout - Deep liquidity (>30M shares/day typical), tight spreads
Fundamental Driver
- Q4 FY2026 revenue +16% YoY to ~$411M; ARR ~$1.78B (+11% YoY); strong net cash position (~$1.4B cash, minimal debt) - Expanding AI/agentic automation features to drive platform adoption and upsell - Operating discipline improving; non-GAAP profitability metrics trending better - Liquidity: ADV >> $20M
Analyst Detail
Core long argument: UiPath is a contrarian, event-driven long into earnings with improving fundamentals and significant optionality from agentic AI applied to automation. The stock trades near cycle lows on compressed expectations, while cash-rich balance sheet and product velocity reduce downside.
Short Picks
Enphase Energy, Inc. ENPH
Technical Setup
- Daily RSI recently pushed into overbought territory on the latest rally and remains elevated; multiple TradingView reads show stretched momentum. - Price surged >20% over the past week into a heavy supply zone near recent highs (mid-60s), with signs of momentum stalling and potential bearish divergence on shorter timeframes.
Fundamental Driver
- Q1 2026 revenue fell to ~$283M with soft guidance commentary tied to weak U.S. residential demand; Europe also slowing.
Analyst Detail
Core short argument: After a sharp multi-session squeeze, ENPH is short-term overbought technically while fundamentals remain pressured by weak demand. Recent results highlight a still-challenged revenue trajectory, making a retracement from the mid-60s toward ~$50 plausible in 1-3 months.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. RIVN
Technical Setup
- Shares remain below key longer-term moving averages with repeated failures near the mid-teens resistance zone. - Mixed-to-weak momentum on daily frames; rallies have been sold into, and price remains in a broader downtrend channel.
Fundamental Driver
- Q1 2026 revenue grew modestly but losses and cash burn remain material; ongoing capex needs and competitive pricing pressure across EVs weigh on margin trajectory.
Analyst Detail
Core short argument: Near-term, Rivian’s path to durable positive margins is constrained by price competition and scale ramp needs. The shares risk drifting back to low-teens as resistance caps upside in the next 1-3 months.
