Legend:
Increase: Higher Quality Metric Score Compared to Result from 4Q 2024
Decrease: Lower Quality Metric Score Compared to Result from 4Q 2024
Trade Desk Inc
Increase: Short-Term Growth, Senior Management, Transparency/Disclosure
Decrease: Long-Term Growth, CEO, CFO, Board, Commitment to Own for The Year Ahead, Momentum of Investor Confidence, Price Appreciation Potential
“Trade Desk have made limited transactions, and the ones they have completed are not life-changing for the company. They’re sitting on a pile of cash but haven’t indicated that they will use it. This isn’t bad capital allocation, but it’s also not the most optimal.”
“I lack confidence in Trade Desk’s long-term growth potential because of the competition coming into that space.”
Adobe Inc.
Increase: None
Decrease: Strategy, CEO, Transparency/Disclosure, Board, Senior Management, Long-Term Growth, Short-Term Growth, Momentum of Investor Confidence, Commitment to Own for The Year Ahead, CFO, Balance Sheet
“Adobe is facing multiple challenges. Large private competitors are offering solutions that are good enough to replace them, while generative AI poses as a significant threat to its business model.”
“Some of Adobe’s M&A moves are defensive, and I don’t have confidence in its long-term growth.”
Nvidia Corporation
Increase: Commitment to Own for The Year Ahead, Price Appreciation Potential
Decrease: Short-Term Growth, Long-Term Growth, Balance Sheet, Momentum of Investor Confidence,
“On one hand, Nvidia is one of the biggest companies and has performed exceedingly well. However, at some point, they will no longer have a monopoly on the best chips. When will that be? I’m not sure.”
“With the DeepSeek situation exposed, there is potential downside risk for Nvidia in the long term. In the short term, it’s hard to say where the top is.”
Alphabet Inc
Increase: Long-Term Growth, Senior Management, Board of Directors, Transparency/Disclosure, Price Appreciation Potential
Decrease: Strategy, Short-Term Growth, CEO, CFO
“Investors are losing confidence in Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai. The new CFO helps, but we haven’t seen much from her either.”
“Alphabet is still very profitable, with a lot of money and a significant clientele. However, the big question mark for them right now is whether they can preserve their market share in the space by transitioning to AI-based solutions. If they manage to do so, they may be fine, but it’s quite possible that someone else will be eating their lunch.”
Meta Platforms, Inc
Increase: Strategy, Long-Term Growth, CEO, Board, Momentum of Investor Confidence, Price Appreciation Potential
Decrease: CFO, Transparency/Disclosure
“Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is likely to surprise on the upside. He has positioned Meta well for the volatile environment ahead.”
“Meta is in a strong position, even as they lay off employees. The CEO has had to make difficult decisions when needed. They have also now figured out a way to utilize WhatsApp for advertising.”
