CFO
VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF
stock NASDAQ ETF

Now that we’ve seen a full quarter of market activity and several updates from analysts, I think it’s worth zooming out a bit on Archer Aviation (ACHR). Last Friday, it closed up 1.6% at $10.14, on slightly lower volume than usual. Not exactly fireworks, but when you stack this against the analyst sentiment and institutional activity, it paints a more interesting picture.
We’ve now got Cantor, Needham, and Canaccord all reaffirming their buy ratings, most with $13+ price targets. HC Wainwright even raised their target from $12 to $18. That’s not retail fluff that’s a serious vote of confidence from professionals looking at the fundamentals.
Behind the scenes, it’s not just talk. Vanguard added to their position, and Two Sigma, Alyeska, and Nuveen made big new bets last quarter. This isn’t speculative hype this is smart money positioning ahead of 2025’s expected ramp
Yes, there’s insider selling *(CFO and others)*, but that happens all the time with high-growth pre-revenue firms. The broader indicators low debt, massive demand pipeline, strong institutional support show a company still on track for something big.
We might not be in breakout territory yet, but maybe that’s the opportunity. This one’s been volatile in the past, sure but with analysts pointing to 30–70% upside and infrastructure deals stacking up, I wouldn’t sleep on this range
So what do others think? is the market just slow to catch up here, or are we seeing the early signs of the next move?

Their business model has amazing operating leverage, which is currently hidden due to ongoing investments. I think you can see this in the Q1/Q2 2024 earnings call, where the CFO (who, by the way, was the CEO of MELI from 1999 to 2023) mentions that there is a limit to how much they can defend margins in the short term. I believe there's a very low chance of losing money on this company, even in the most conservative scenarios, you likely break even, while in normal or bullish scenarios, there's significant upside. Also, due to the hopefully temporary weakening of the dollar, they have a very strong tailwind, as they should benefit from it.

Hello everyone , like everyone else in the market i started my journey in the market with around 15 Lakhs of capital . I'd like to share my views and actionable insights on how i was to able to outperform the market -especially my winners and losers .
1. Invest in growth stocks :
They key is to invest in growth stocks which are fairly priced - if you find underpriced even better . For example : I bought HAL @ 1250 and PE ratio of 12 and sold at 300 % gain
2. Strong Fundamentals
Companies with high ROE and ROCE
Low Debt /Equity ratio Pledged percentage = 0
Sales and profits growth of 3 years > 15 % CFO/EBITDA> 50 % - more than 70 % is amazing
For example Tips Music : Bought @ 151 on march 2023 and sold at 400 % gain due to strong fundamentals
Why did i BUY ? Strong fundamentals with big MOAT , zero debt , cash on books , generating free cash flow , with clear tailwinds
3. Market cap
If you can identify companies with market cap between 1000- 5000 , that would be great as there is a long way to go before they become midcap companies
4. Losers ! I bought Angel one and sold at 25 % Loss due to things beyond my control ( SEBI changed options trading rules which affected most brokers ) Luckily there have been a couple of losers
5. CAPTIAL builds CAPITAL Initially i invested in 20 stocks , adhering to popular opinion diversify but when i had invested 1 lakh each in HAL and TIPS music - the % gain was amazing but monetary gain was just about alright So instead buy 5-6 stocks and concentrate your capital in companies you think are fundamentally strong and yes more the risk more your reward ..Key is to identify sectors or things you understand( Peter lynch mentions in his book )
5. Tools for learning Read and read again " One up on wall street " by Peter Lynch
Youtube channels : SOIC ( Valuations of different sectors ) Shankar nath ( Watch his Peter Lynch video on how to use it with screener)
Web tools: Screener.in Tickertape.in
And lastly , i could've gone the mutual funds route - but I have interest in markets so chose to do it my own way
Happy to answer any questions

Before anyone says anything — yes, it was legal. Yes, it was my dog’s money. Long story short, my golden retriever Winston passed away in January (RIP King) and my parents, in their infinite Boomer wisdom, had set up a $450k charitable pet trust that defaulted to me if he died childless. He did. Obviously.
So now I’m sitting on the couch, half-depressed, flipping between CNBC and DogTV, when I see that Wayfair is up 26% on what? LAYOFFS?? You’re telling me this overpriced furniture clown show gets more valuable when they fire the people who delay my couch by 9 weeks?
🔮 Then it hits me.
I had a dream last week — Winston was there, and he spoke to me in perfect English. He was in a warehouse full of fake leather sectionals and said,
“Short the couches, Dad.”
I woke up in a sweat. Sold every meme c0in I still held, liquidated my boring ETF bags, and on impulse, threw $418,000 (after buying an air fryer and an NFT of Winston) into Wayfair $40 puts expiring next Friday. That’s right. 9 days to glory or total collapse.
Why this is the perfect trade:
• Wayfair CFO literally said “the vibe is off” in the earnings call (read the transcript).
• People are “returning to in-store experiences”? Bro, that’s code for “we’re cooked.”
• I found 3 different chairs listed under 3 names with 3 different prices. That’s Enron for furniture.
• I paid $179 for a lamp from them in 2021 and it blew up after 11 days. I never forgot.
Where we stand now:
• Down 41% as of this morning.
• Wife asked me why the Schwab app said “Your options have depreciated rapidly.” I told her it’s a glitch.
• My financial advisor sent me a single period (.) as a reply after I told him.
• But the dog signs keep coming.
• A pug barked at a Wayfair delivery truck yesterday.
• My Google Home keeps playing DMX out of nowhere.
I don’t know how this ends, but if I’m right — I will be immortalized next to “Intel Guy,” “Olympic Copper Bro,” and the “DJT Widowmaker.”
If I’m wrong… I’ll rename the trust “Winston’s Regret” and go teach English in Taiwan or something.

Youre right in your analysis of selling covered calls from 2021 to 2024. The stock dropped, intrinsic value was decreasing over that time and overvalued when looking at fundamentals. I think you're looking at generating returns way over 10% a year in your covered call analysis.
Its hard to say Gamestop is overvalued by every metric, as markets are forward looking. If you look at current PE ratios, Gamestop is at 51, analysts are looking at a forward PE of 30. Market cap to sales is about average, but the majority of companies in this sector aren't sitting on this much cash.
I understand both sides of the argument, because right now majority of the earnings is from interest, but that's changing.
We have 4 insiders who have purchased now. Not just RC. Maybe you could argue that RC bought in to improve morale. Maybe LC is on that boat too. But now we're seeing Alain Attal and a former Chewy CFO Jim Grube buying in. Jim Grube's first purchase of Gamestop stock, and probably the first guy who would purchase based on valuation rather than sentiment given his experience.

**AMD Announces Bold New Strategy: “Down is the New Up”**
SANTA CLARA, CA — In a daring move to further align with investor expectations, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) announced today its revolutionary new business model: bleeding value at the speed of light.
Despite leading-edge innovation in GPUs, CPUs, and acronyms that make absolutely no sense, AMD stock has bravely continued its Olympic-level dive—demonstrating our firm commitment to gravity, disappointment, and philosophical nihilism.
“Why would we go up?” said CFO Linda ‘Diamond Hands’ Zhang. “Up is overrated. Our stock chart is now a contemporary art piece titled ‘Descending Dreams: A Fibonacci Tragedy.’ We believe this is what true innovation looks like.”
Highlights of the new initiative include:
•Project MeltDown™: A cutting-edge algorithm that automatically sells off any rally over 2%.
•AI-Powered Investor Sadness™: Harnessing neural networks to detect hope in retail investors… and immediately trigger a red candle.
•“RugPull Renaissance”: A creative division focused on rebranding routine 8% dips as “price aesthetic rebalancing.”
“Wall Street wanted AI. We delivered. We built a sentiment model that predicts when someone buys in and instantly initiates a correction,” said VP of Algorithmic Spite, Greg “The Red Line” Malvado.

When I’m speaking with anyone besides my analysts, CFO or CEO I’m giving you zero information or look at where my head is at. You’re trading against everyone, misinformation and disinformation only. If I tell you I’m long, I’m probably short so you can be exit liquidity.

Just FYI, this is not microsofts fault but rather how Shareholder litigation works.
If there is an opportunity to save money on overhead via this manner and the company is proven to not take every single legal step to maximize shareholdre value, the shareholders can collectively sue for the missed amount and oust the CEO/CFO at the same time.
Then, the company claims, "Our hands were tied!" which they were, but it doesn't help to dissuade the problem. Then when someone comes along to try and correct it, they're called racist/xenophobic and nothing changes.
It's been this way since the 1970s but people are just going to keep getting angry at the wrong thing over and over again because nobody can grasp this type of complex neuance

Not sure which app you’re using but i just plugged it into grok and it does mention the breakup. Ill paste the partial response below. The entire response is way to long to post here😂. Personally i prefer using grok, perplexity, and Claude.
Below is a comprehensive investment analysis of Honeywell International Inc. (HON), addressing the user’s queries in a structured and thorough manner. The analysis incorporates recent financial performance, major news, leadership changes, analyst opinions, key risks, competitive positioning, sector opportunities, bull and bear cases, recent stock performance, and fundamentals versus market sentiment. Where applicable, I’ve integrated relevant information from the provided web and X post results, critically evaluated for accuracy, and supplemented with broader market context. All monetary values are in USD unless stated otherwise.
1. Thorough Investment Analysis of Honeywell International Inc. (HON)
Recent Financial Performance (2024–2025)
Honeywell International, a diversified industrial conglomerate, operates across four key segments: Aerospace Technologies (37% of 2023 revenue), Industrial Automation (29%), Building Automation (17%), and Energy & Sustainability Solutions (17%). Its financial performance in 2024 and early 2025 reflects resilience amid macroeconomic challenges, with a focus on high-margin segments and strategic portfolio adjustments.
• 2024 Performance:
◦ Q4 2024 Results: Honeywell reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.47, surpassing analyst estimates and consensus figures. Revenue for the quarter was not explicitly detailed in the sources, but the Aerospace segment saw $3.99 billion in sales, driven by 17% growth in aftermarket services despite only 1% organic sales growth overall.
◦ Full-Year 2024: Revenue was approximately $39.2 billion over the trailing twelve months, reflecting steady growth. The company’s $31.8 billion backlog as of Q1 2025 underscores strong future revenue visibility, particularly in Aerospace and Building Automation.
◦ Profitability Metrics: Honeywell maintained a “Good” financial health score per InvestingPro, with consistent 16% return on capital employed (ROCE) over the past five years, though capital employed rose 33% in the same period, indicating steady but not accelerating returns.
• 2025 Performance (Q1 and Outlook):
◦ Q1 2025 Results: Adjusted EPS was $2.51, beating consensus expectations, driven by robust demand in Aerospace (commercial aftermarket and defense) and Building Automation. Revenue and non-GAAP profit exceeded Wall Street estimates, boosting the stock price by 5.4% post-earnings.
◦ Q2 2025 Expectations: Analysts project Q2 EPS of $2.60 (up from $2.51 prior estimates) and full-year 2025 EPS of $10.38, a 5% increase from 2024. Revenue is forecasted at $40.2 billion, up 4.41% year-over-year. The company’s Earnings ESP of +0.56% and Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) suggest a likely earnings beat on July 24, 2025.
◦ Guidance: Honeywell’s 2025 guidance has been cautious, with adjusted EPS projections slightly below Street expectations, potentially setting the stage for upside surprises. This conservative approach aligns with management’s strategy to manage tariff risks and macroeconomic uncertainty.
• Dividends and Cash Flow: Honeywell has paid dividends for 41 consecutive years, with a recent quarterly dividend of $1.13 per share (paid June 6, 2025). Free cash flow margins are projected in the mid-teens over the next five years, supporting dividend sustainability and reinvestment.
Major News and Leadership Changes
• Strategic Reorganization: In early 2025, Honeywell announced a three-way split, planning to spin off its Aerospace Technologies segment by mid-2026 and Advanced Materials by late 2025 or early 2026. This move aims to create three focused entities (Automation & Building Technologies, Advanced Materials, and the remaining core business), potentially unlocking 10–15% shareholder value by enhancing market focus and operational efficiency. The reorganization was approved by shareholders on May 20, 2025, with no impact on shareholder rights or share count.
• Acquisitions:
◦ Sundyne Acquisition (2025): Honeywell acquired Sundyne for $2.16 billion, enhancing its Electronic Systems Solutions (ESS) division within Industrial Automation.
◦ Li-ion Tamer Acquisition (July 2025): This acquisition from Nexceris bolsters Honeywell’s Building Automation segment with early detection technology for lithium-ion battery fires, expected to be immediately accretive.
◦ Johnson Matthey’s Catalyst Business (2025): This deal strengthens Honeywell’s Energy & Sustainability Solutions, particularly in energy efficiency and smart buildings.
• Leadership Updates: No major leadership changes were reported in 2024–2025, but UBS analysts expressed confidence in CEO Vimal Kapur, CFO Mike Stepniak, and VP of Investor Relations Sean Meakim following a recent investor lunch. Kapur emphasized resilience and execution, particularly in navigating the upcoming split.

Symbiotic is a warehouse automation company that has recently acquired Walmarts entire robotics division and has assimilated their operations into its business.
The company is owned by diamond hand insiders like Softbanks Masayoshi who is close to Trump since the 1st term. Symbiotic will be at the center of SoftBank investment pledge into the US that was made with Trump.
Trump himself has stated his love for anything futuristic and even specifically mentioned warehouse and factory automation which is exactly what Symbiotic is.
Symbiotic has faced incredibly bearish pressure due to accounting errors. The company has had significant cost overruns on their initial deployment and employee sentiment was low around 2024. I myself in the HVAC business know cost overruns are normal for any site deployment and accounting is difficult for those unprepared for it. Symbiotic fell into a common pitfall but has emerged from it very strongly.
The CFO has been replaced by a very qualified professional (DYOR)
Due to the negative outlook of SoftBank and the accounting issues. SYM shares have been heavily borrowed and shorted.
Now the tides are turning, with Walmart selling their department to SYM, it shows a huge sign of confidence that the bugs have been worked out.
Masayoshi is on the upswing now that his boy Trumps in the white house again.
It takes 10 days+ for bears to cover, float is small.

Fundamental Analysis:
Although the green energy sector in India has experienced significant growth, wind energy has seen relatively muted progress. While the solar energy segment has achieved a robust CAGR of 30-35%, wind energy has grown at a more modest pace of 8-9% CAGR over the past decade.
This slower growth is primarily due to India's geographic limitations for wind energy. In fact, 98% of the country’s wind energy capacity is concentrated in just three states: Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
That said, Suzlon has emerged as a turnaround story, winning favor in the market. The company has successfully shifted from being loss-making to generating profits. The sales and profit growth are indeed impressive. However, it's important to note that the recent surge in profits was largely driven by other income sources, rather than core business operations.
The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) stands strong at 31%, but the cash flow from operations (CFO) remains negative despite profitability on paper. This indicates that Suzlon is struggling to generate cash, which could be a concern for investors looking for sustainable financial health. Suzlon also faces intense competition from peers like Inox, which adds to the challenges it faces in maintaining its competitive edge.
Regarding shareholding, the promoter holds a relatively small stake of just 13%, while public shareholders own more than 50%. This means that the company is largely owned by external investors. Personally, I tend to avoid such companies, as I believe that promoters are more likely to prioritize the growth of the business when they are the majority beneficiary.
In conclusion, while Suzlon's turnaround story and profit growth are promising, the negative cash flow and small promoter stake raise concerns. With limited geographical presence in India’s wind sector and intense competition, investors should carefully assess the risks before making decisions.

If you are asking for a strong and durable moat, I would say Spire global.

Not a big company, they have a satellite business and collect RO Data. It's so far not a huge market and I think that's also why probably no one wants to pay for such a big satellite network as Spire has.

They are not profitable yet, but they sit on a big cash position (100 million+) and have no debt, because they sold a part of their company.

marketcap is 350 million
they had one fuckup last year with their books (they solved it and changed the CFO) and probably focused on the acquisition. Now all of this is solved, so I think, they will increase their growth.
