Why we are seeing another meme stock moment: eToro CEO
July has brought the return of the meme stock moment, led by frenzied activity in Opendoor (OPEN), Krispy Kreme (DNUT), GoPro (GPRO), and GameStop (GME). Don't count eToro co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia as surprised. "I think generally the rise of retail investors is a huge trend," Assia told me on Yahoo Finance. "We are still at the beginning of what we believe is the largest transformation of wealth in human history from older generations to younger generations." Assia is using the summer retail investor reawakening to push eToro's business into new territory. eToro said Tuesday it would debut 24-hour, five-day-a-week trading on 100 of the most popular stocks and ETFs in the market. The company will join rival Robinhood (HOOD) in trying to convince lawmakers to make stock trading around the clock. "I think 24/7 is probably going to take longer simply because the markets themselves are usually closed over the weekend, and there's still liquidity issues," Assia explained. "I think 24/5 is happening now in 2025 and 2026, and it's gradually happening across asset classes and also happening with more and more stocks available for 24/5 trading." The company also announced spot-quoted futures. It teased the launch of US-listed equities as tokens on the ethereum blockchain. eToro priced its IPO in mid-May at $52 a share, above the planned range of $46 to $50. The company raised about $310 million in the offering. Today, the stock trades around $62.50, giving the company a market cap of $5.2 billion. It has more than 40 million registered users. Robinhood and Interactive Brokers are valued at $95 billion and $111 billion, respectively. eToro was co-founded in 2007 in Israel by Yoni and his older brother, Ronen Assia. Yoni has said the company was started in his parents' garage. Ronen sits on the management team and is an executive director. The company quickly grew from its inception as new investors entered a bull market, initially raising $1.5 million at a $5 million valuation. It launched bitcoin trading in 2013, around the time of the crypto winter that depressed digital asset Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor and a member of Yahoo Finance's editorial leadership team.

This Stock Just Hit New Highs. What Do Technical Indicators Say Now?
Johnson Controls (JCI) hit a new 52-week high on July 28. JCI has an 80% technical 'Buy' signal via Barchart. Shares are trading above key moving averages and are up nearly 57% over the past year. Fundamentals are solid, with projected revenue and earnings growth, but JCI's valuation is high, and some analysts rate it a 'Hold.' Today's Featured Stock Valued at $73.4 billion, Johnson Controls International (JCI) is a diversified technology company and a multi-industry leader. The company's operations include creating intelligent buildings, providing efficient energy solutions, and the integration of smart city infrastructure. Johnson Controls provides building systems, including HVAC controls and security and safety products. What I'm Watching: I found today's Chart of the Day by using Barchart's powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker 'buy' signal. I then used Barchart's Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. JCI checks those boxes. More News from Barchart Tesla Just Signed a Chip Supply Deal with Samsung. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock? Dear Microsoft Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for Aug. 1 Is Lucid Motors Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. I selected this stock on Monday, July 28, for inclusion in today's Chart of the Day. The Trend Seeker signaled a buy on May 1, and the stock had gained 27.8% since then. However, on Tuesday, July 29, Trend Seeker signaled a 'hold.' JCI Price vs. Daily Moving Averages: Barchart Technical Indicators for Johnson Controls: Editor's Note: The technical indicators below are updated live during the session every 20 minutes and can therefore change each day as the market fluctuates. The indicator numbers shown below therefore may not match what you see live on the website when you read this report. These technical indicators form the Barchart Opinion on a particular stock. Johnson Controls shares hit a new 52-week high on July 28, touching $112.63 in intraday trading. JCI has an 80% technical 'Buy' signal. The stock recently traded at $105.72, above its 50-day moving average of $105.61. Johnson Controls has a Weighted Alpha of +57.01. The stock has gained 56% over the past year. Johnson Controls is trading above its 20, 50 and 100-day moving averages. The stock made 13 new highs and gained 2.55% in the last month. Relative Strength Index is at 46.36%. The technical support level is $110.81. Don't Forget the Fundamentals: $73.4 billion market capitalization. Trailing price-earnings ratio of 28.8x. 1.38% dividend yield. Revenue is projected to grow 5.2% next year. Earnings are estimated to increase 17.96% next year. Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Johnson Controls: I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it's hard to make money swimming against the tide. It looks like Wall Street analysts are bullish, but some major advisory sites are split. The Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart issued 11 'Strong Buy' and nine 'Hold' opinions on the stock. CFRA's Market Scope rates the stock a 'Hold.' Morningstar thinks the stock is 26% overvalued. 46,500 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha, which rates the stock a 'Hold.' The Bottom Line: Johnson Controls currently has momentum and is hitting new highs. It has positive sentiment from Wall Street, plus analysts project double-digit growth in earnings. I caution that JCI is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies. Today's Chart of the Day was written by Jim Van Meerten. Read previous editions of the daily newsletter here. Additional disclosure: The Barchart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance.
