Weekly Picks: ASML's Selloff Explained, WH's Global Expansion, and NVO's Market Mispricing
This week's picks cover:
📈 Why now might be an opportune time to consider ASML .
🏨 How Wyndham Hotels' loyalty revenue and global expansion are driving growth.
💊 Why Novo Nordisk's risk/reward case is better than it seems.
💡 Why we like it: This narrative is a tight, well-balanced pitch that blends technical context with market timing. Instead of ignoring the selloff, they lean into it, framing the stock dip as a rare opportunity in an otherwise solid long-term story. We think the narrative strikes the right tone of measured, informed, and actionable.
💡 Why we like it: This is a refreshingly boots-on-the-ground narrative that builds from personal experience to a full investment case. Zwfis weaves operational context, recent earnings, and valuation math into a compelling long-term outlook, while also highlighting under-appreciated levers like loyalty-driven ancillary revenue. It's personal, well-researched, and has plenty of conviction.
💡 Why we like it: We love a classic contrarian setup. Here bactrian makes the case that a best-in-class compounder has been marked down on fears that appear priced for disaster rather than a cyclical reset. The narrative does a great job breaking down both the bear case (guidance cut, semaglutide saturation, policy risk) and why it's likely overdone, given Novo's world-class margins, strong pipeline, and low multiple. The sum-of-the-parts logic and reset expectations create a compelling upside case.
