UiPath (PATH) has fallen about 27% from its one-month high, though it is still up 34% over three months. The stock trades at 19.5 times earnings, against an S&P 500 median of 22.6. For a software company growing faster than most of the market, that looks like a gift. The question is whether investors see an AI threat the numbers do not show yet.

United Parcel Service (UPS) generates free cash flow worth 6.8% of its market capitalization of about $80.6 billion, well above the 4.4% median for an S&P 500 company. A yield that high means a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. UPS is shrinking on purpose. It has cut about 2 million pieces a day of lower-quality Amazon volume, and investors want to see what the smaller network earns.

Lowe's Companies (LOW) stock trades near $191, its lowest price of the past year and about 33% below its 52-week high. Over the trailing twelve months, it lost 25.9%, while the S&P 500 returned 18.5% with dividends reinvested. No market crash did this. So how much further could it fall if one arrives.

Over the last six months, S&P Global’s shares have sunk to $405.30, producing a disappointing 5.5% loss - a stark contrast to the S&P 500’s 16.2% gain. This was partly due to its softer quarterly results and may have investors wondering how to approach the situation.

As FactSet has lagged behind the broader Nasdaq Composite over the past year, Wall Street analysts remain cautious about the stock’s prospects.

The popular view of CrowdStrike (CRWD) is that AI has made a fast-growing security company grow even faster. The stock returned 98% over the past year. The S&P 500 returned 18.5% over the same period. For that view to be right, two things must both be true. The faster growth has to last, and it has to turn into real profit. So far, only the first one clearly holds.

The Hennessy Funds portfolio manager argues that market-cap weighting can hide cheaper mid-cap stocks, but investors still need a process for weighing valuation, business improvement, and price confirmation.

The market has rewarded this tech giant for its powerful business engine, but a recent pullback forces investors to ask if the best part of the run is already over.

Zoom Communications (ZM) stock sits about 21% below its 52-week high after falling 17.4% over the past month, a month in which its quarterly report beat its own guidance. Over the past year it returned 2.9% while the S&P 500 returned 17.3%. The question for a holder is what a real market shock would add.

MercadoLibre (MELI) produced free cash flow worth 13.7% of its market value over the past twelve months, about three times the 4.5% yield of the median S&P 500 company. A yield that high usually marks either a bargain or a business the market expects to shrink. MercadoLibre fits neither neatly. Its revenue grew 46% over the same twelve months, and management is holding profit down on purpose to keep it growing.

S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) is seeing continued growth across its Market Intelligence, Ratings, Indices and Energy businesses, supported by commercial integration, artificial intelligence adoption and productivity initiatives, Chief Financial Officer Eric Aboaf said during a Barclays conference discu

In a move that signals the final maturation of digital asset infrastructure, S&P Global announced on September 17, 2026, its acquisition of OpenZeppelin. This is not merely a corporate consolidation; it is the formal emergence of a ‘credit rating for code’—a necessary evolution for institutional tokenization to move from experimental sandbox to the bedrock of […]

UiPath (PATH) trades at about $14, some 29% below its high of the past year, and it has lost 11.7% over the past month. Its results are not what did that. The fall is recent: the stock is still up 34.5% over the past three months, and over the past twelve months it returned 18.9% against 17.0% for the S&P 500. What matters is how far a stock like this falls in a real shock.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) has gained 9.5% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 added 0.6%. A week like that pulls money in. The stock is still about 55% below its 52-week high. The run is not the question. What matters for your money is what this stock does to your portfolio when the market moves, because it travels about four times as far as the index in both directions.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) grew revenue faster over the past twelve months than every company in its peer group, and only one company in that group earns a wider operating margin. Palantir also carries the group's highest earnings multiple. Over those same twelve months the stock returned less than the S&P 500. The operational lead is evident, but current market valuations appear to price in much of that outperformance.

Verizon Communications (VZ) trades near $48 a share and generated free cash worth 10.0% of its market value over the last twelve months. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.5%. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Verizon is neither, quite. The cash is real, and it is not all yours.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock fell 5.6% on 17 September to about $166, the lowest it has traded in a year. One session is not the problem: over the past twelve months the stock returned -28.5% while the S&P 500 returned 17.0%, and the year is what matters. A rising market did not do that. What changed is inside the business, and part of it is deliberate.

Walt Disney (DIS) has lost about 7% over the past twelve months while the S&P 500 gained 17%. Disney trades at 21.3 times earnings, just under an S&P 500 median of 22.5. The question is whether that is a good business on sale, or a fair price for a slow grower.

Arista Networks (ANET) has gained 5.6% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 added 0.6%. A gap like that pulls buyers in. But the five-day move is not the question. The real one is what owning Arista does to your money every time the market moves, because it travels much further than the index in both directions.

S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) analysts are flagging rising U.S. utility rates as a source of pressure on municipal finances. The firm reports that higher electricity and water costs are weighing on city budgets and could affect municipal credit quality. Analysts also point to growth in affordable housing and sustainable debt markets as areas drawing more issuer and investor attention. Rising U.S. utility rates and expanding affordable housing and sustainable debt activity are important; investors...

I am not opposed to credit rating agencies giving companies time to prove their business models. However, the numbers must also make sense.

Retirees who guess wrong on how much cash to hold face a brutal choice when stocks crater: sell at the bottom or run out of spending money. Three overlooked ETFs build a buffer that buys your portfolio time to recover without sacrificing too much yield.

ON Semiconductor (ON) stock trades near $67, about 50% below its 52-week high. It lost 43.7% over the trailing three months, ending with a 9.0% fall on September 16. Yet it is still up 38.4% over the trailing twelve months, against 15.5% for the S&P 500. The company's latest results show a business still shrinking but recovering, not one in trouble.

Cipher Digital (CIFR) stock fell 36.2% over the past three months. Over twelve months it is still up 54.1%, against 15.5% for the S&P 500. The company is moving from bitcoin mining to leasing data centers to hyperscale tenants. In past market shocks, the stock fell hard and bounced back fast.

Snap (SNAP) generates free cash worth 7.4% of its market value a year, against 4.5% for the median S&P 500 company. A yield that high usually points one of two ways: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Snap is not shrinking: revenue grew 19% year over year in Q2 2026. So the market is pricing something else, the profit that sits underneath the cash.

S&P Global is expanding into the technology risks underpinning stablecoins, tokenized funds, and other onchain financial products.

S&P Global is buying code auditor OpenZeppelin days after backing Kaiko. Here is what the ratings giant is building.

Alphabet (GOOGL) has gained 3.7% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 fell 1.1%. A stock that rises in a down week gets attention. But five days say nothing about what Alphabet does to the rest of your money. The real question is what it does to your portfolio every time the market moves, because it travels further than the index in both directions.

Cava (CAVA) stock is down about 44% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 was roughly flat. A fall that size usually leaves something cheap behind. It has not here. Cava still trades at 88 times earnings against about 23 for the S&P 500, and much of what you are paying for is restaurants that are not open yet.

AppLovin (APP) has climbed 6.2% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 slipped 1.1%. With the stock about 55% below its 52-week high, a week like that pulls in bottom hunters. But next week is the wrong question. What matters to your money is what holding AppLovin does every time the market moves, because it travels far further than the index, and furthest on the way down.
