Yeti Holdings (YETI)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: 42.00-43.00
Second PT: Unlock
Looking for a fun trade to take on this holiday season? Consider Yeti Holdings, a company well-known for its outdoor products that include coolers, drink-ware, travel bags, blankets, and more accessories. Shares of the company surged following their earnings report last week, where they showed modest revenue growth and raised their full year outlook thanks to strong Q3 performance.
Looking deeper into the numbers, we do see that Yeti’s quarterly performance showed a decline of 30% in net income compared to a year ago. Management reported that tariffs and supply chain issues pressured returns, but they still managed an 8% net margin overall.
The company’s raised sales outlook is encouraging, but the real focus is on how it plans to expand its product mix in the year ahead. Yeti is aggressively diversifying its portfolio, with new launches expected in camping gear, outdoor apparel, and possibly even footwear. This broader strategy positions the brand to capture growing demand from outdoor enthusiasts while expanding beyond its core drink ware and cooler categories. How it’ll perform in 2026 likely depends on their ability to penetrate the market with their new product offerings and whether or not they can alleviate supply chain issues and reduce maintain strong margins.
Is this a safe long term play?
Our trade on Yeti is more of a holiday-based trade, with the aim to sell by February - March of next year, but we're willing to adjust if we see more opportunity or need to cut early. With holiday season coming up quick, a name like Yeti is set to benefit from holiday shopping for outdoor-sy people. If sales are strong, we can expect the stock to rally into its next earnings report, which is set for mid-February. This doesn’t make them a “bad” long term holding, but we’ll need to see sales growth return to high single or double digit percentage points before we commit to a longer timeline.
Please note that this may take longer than one week to come around to targets and we may change our entry / exit levels if necessary. We'll be updating the stock as needed for our Hyper Stocks Pro members. Wanna see real-time market updates? Learn more here.
iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA)

You’ve probably heard about Polymarket in the news lately, a popular new platform that lets users bet on real-world events like elections, sports, crypto prices, economic data, political outcomes, weather events, and pretty much anything you can imagine. It basically gives people the ability to wager on real-life questions, powered by smart contracts that automate the trades and USDC stablecoins that move the money around.
But Polymarket itself isn’t the main reason we’re writing this analysis. What really matters here is the role Ethereum plays behind the scenes. Ethereum has always been seen as Bitcoin’s little brother in the crypto world, but it’s quietly become the backbone of how these platforms operate. Every trade, every market creation, every settlement, all of it runs through Ethereum’s infrastructure for security, data storage, and final settlement. That’s where ETH becomes important. A platform like Polymarket can’t just run on Amazon Web Services because it needs neutral, tamper-proof settlement and smart contracts that no company or government can interfere with. Prediction markets only work if the rules are transparent, globally accessible, and immune to being shut down, which is exactly why they use Ethereum.
Ethereum isn’t just another crypto. It’s becoming the base layer for the next generation of on-chain applications. And as more real-world platforms move to blockchain rails, whether it’s prediction markets, stablecoin payments, tokenized assets, or decentralized finance, the demand for Ethereum’s blockspace grows. More activity means more fees, more ETH burned, and ultimately more economic value flowing back into the network.
For the purpose of our stock-based trading approach, we’re looking at $ETHA, an ETF that tracks the price of Ethereum on the stock market, but investors can also opt into buying Ethereum itself from a trusted crypto platform.

Costco Wholesale (COST)

Price target: 1000.00+

A good name to start small and add to overtime using the "DCA" strategy. If you don’t know what that is, let me know.
Costco has long been viewed as one of the market’s strongest defensive stocks, and that reputation only grows during periods of economic uncertainty. The company’s membership based model creates a recurring, highly predictable revenue stream that is less sensitive to economic cycles renewal rates north of 90% demonstrate just how durable that foundation is. Even when consumers tighten spending, they tend to keep their Costco membership because of the value it provides on essential goods like groceries, household items, and fuel.
Additionally, Costco’s scale gives it stronger pricing power and negotiating leverage during inflationary or supply chain strained periods. The retailer can absorb cost pressures better than peers, allowing it to pass savings to members while maintaining healthy traffic trends. This “value moat” becomes even more attractive when consumer confidence softens, often leading to increased visits as shoppers consolidate trips and look for lower unit prices. Plus their latest initiative to open longer is adding more foot traffic and contributing to sales.
Last quarter, Costco posted 8.1% revenue growth and even stronger net income growth compared to a year ago. E-commerce is a bright spot, where digital sales rose 13-16% year over year, and the company is expected to maintain high growth through geographic expansion and deeper digital engagement.
Historically, Costco has outperformed broader retail and market indices during volatile periods because its core business is built around essentials, not discretionary splurges. With steady foot traffic, resilient same store sales, and disciplined inventory management, Costco often acts as a safe harbor for investors seeking stability across uncertain economic cycles.
Room for improvement:
Although Costco is efficient, it can still be better. The stock’s current price to earnings ratio of 50x makes it higher than peers and may hold it back in the short term. But as profits grow and the earnings multiple gets adjusted, it’ll likely begin to attract buyers again. Costco is a choice for those who have a long timeline and want to slowly add a defensive play to a portfolio.
