Amentrum Holdings (AMTM) Entry: Unlock Price target: 28.00-30.00 Second PT: Unlock Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” just got passed, and it includes substantial funding increases for the U.S. military. The bill provides a more than $150 billion boost to defense spending, which will likely be awarded to companies that work with the U.S. Department of Defense. One of those companies is Amentum Holdings, which is deeply embedded in U.S. national security by providing critical mission solutions that support missile defense training and engineering for defense, space, and energy. Amentum’s market cap of just $5.89 billion places them far below their enterprise value of $10.18 billion.

Apple (AAPL)Entry: UnlockPrice target: 215.00-220.00Second PT: Unlock Apple investors are growing increasingly concerned about the stock’s performance, as it trades 18% lower year to date. The company’s perceived lack of recent innovation and its disconnect from the artificial intelligence boom have left many wondering if the business is starting to decline. However, a closer look at the numbers reveals that Apple is still performing at an exceptionally high level, one that will be hard to disrupt. Despite its inability to excite investors and consumers recently, Apple reported 5% revenue growth last quarter, reaching $95 billion in quarterly sales. Over the past three years, the company has averaged more than $385 billion in annual revenue, with nearly 25% of that translating into...
Tesla (TSLA)Entry: UnlockPrice target: 350.00-355.00Second PT: Unlock The U.S. Transportation Department unveiled a new autonomous vehicle framework earlier this year in efforts to accelerate the process of integrating autonomous technologies across the country. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation, who was elected by President Trump, stated “This Administration understands that we’re in a race with China to out-innovate, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.” This push to out-innovate China involves slashing hurdles that once stood in the way of companies rolling out their self-driving technology, even if it’s a risky move. This isn’t the first time in history that an administration lessens the barriers on risky innovation in an attempt to get ahead. Despite what you think of the move, it...
