Eos Energy’s 8% Rally: A Growth Investor’s Musings

Today’s market move had me scribbling notes faster than a first-time dieter at a bakery. Eos Energy (NASDAQ:EOSE) surged 8% while I was still sipping my third coffee, thanks to Stifel’s Stephen Gengaro deciding the stock’s “fair value” is now $10. Let’s dissect this like a particularly enthusiastic parrot with a spreadsheet.

IBM’s Quantum Gambit: A Tale of Bits and Bluster

Quantum computing, that most elusive of sciences, remains a child in swaddling clothes. But which parent shall raise it with wisdom? IBM, with its coffers brimming (a $2.2 billion quarterly profit, no less!), claims to hold the philosopher’s stone.

Seagate’s Ascendancy: A Dance of Disks and Digital Alchemy

The week, you see, was not barren of stimuli. Oracle’s AI-guidance had set the stage, a prologue to the Federal Reserve’s timid waltz with interest rates-its first cut since the frostbitten winter of 2023. Lower rates, that sly puppeteer, tugged at the strings of capital costs, emboldening tech titans to lavish fortunes on AI’s infrastructure. And what is an infrastructure but a labyrinth of silicon and spin, where Seagate’s HAMR technology-its platters etched with the precision of a watchmaker’s dream-now reigns supreme in the realm of edge storage? Inferencing, that quieter cousin of training, demands not the roar of supercomputers but the whisper of disks, and thus Seagate’s TBs now multiply like rabbits in a magician’s hat.
