$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US)

Context: After experiencing a significant pullback in the first half of 2026, its stock price has rebounded rapidly over the past few months. However, it remains about 10.7% below its 52-week high of $207.52 set on November 3, 2025. As Palantir's commercial AI business continues its rapid expansion, the market is contemplating whether Palantir's stock price can break through $200 and further challenge its previous all-time high. Palantir's advantage lies not merely in providing AI models, but in integrating data processing and AI models with actual enterprise business workflows. The company's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) helps enterprises connect large language models to their own data and workflows, bringing Palantir closer to the positioning of "AI applications and enterprise software infrastructure." As enterprises gradually transition from experimenting with AI to large-scale deployment, whether Palantir can continuously expand its commercial customer base and contract size per customer will be a key variable for future revenue growth.

My Trade: As always, the biggest concern for Palantir is its valuation. That is also the biggest factor stopping me from buying any more especially at current prices.

Takeaway: The company has also further raised its full-year guidance. Palantir expects full-year 2026 revenue to increase by 82% year-over-year, with US commercial revenue projected to grow by at least 134% year-over-year; at the same time, the company expects full-year adjusted free cash flow to reach $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion. @Captain's Treasure

$NU Holdings(NU.US)

Context: Nu shares slid Monday after the Financial Times reported the company is eyeing what would rank as its largest purchase to date, a possible move on British digital bank Monzo that could carry a price tag as high as $13 billion, paid for through some blend of cash and newly issued stock. Both companies have stayed quiet on the matter publicly, and the FT indicated Nu might settle for taking a partial ownership position instead of buying Monzo outright. Shareholders responded with hesitation, mainly worried about how a transaction potentially valuing Monzo well above its 2024 mark of £4.5 billion ($5.95 billion) might squeeze Nu’s earnings in the near term or water down existing shareholders if the company leans on issuing new shares to help pay for it.

My Trade: Bought the dip yesterday as I think it was an overexaggerated drop. Targeting a high $13/$14 to make a little profit.

Takeaway: Today’s bounce stands out given the broader backdrop, since Nu sits within Financials, a sector ranked eighth out of 11 S&P groups today and down 0.60% on the session. Nu itself is outperforming that weak sector by 2.36 percentage points, even as Financials have struggled more broadly, down 6.65% over the past month and 1.66% over the past 90 days. @Captain's Treasure

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)

Trade: Nvidia's board of directors announced an additional $150 billion share buyback authorization, boosting the remaining capacity under its existing program to $235 billion, setting a record for the largest single buyback authorization increase by a U.S. company. The company expects to execute the remaining program through fiscal year 2028, with the actual size and timing yet to be determined. Based on Nvidia's market capitalization of approximately $5.56 trillion as of September 28, its remaining share repurchase authorization of $235 billion accounts for about 4.2% of its market value. If repurchased shares exceed new shares issued due to equity incentives and other factors, the number of outstanding shares will decrease, boosting earnings per share assuming net income remains unchanged.

My Trade: Not actively trading too much for Nvidia - I see this as a long term holding in my portfolio as one of the more stable mid to mature growth company. Though if shares drop to $200 and below, it could start to be even more enticing.

Takeaway: Strong revenue and cash flow provide a financial foundation for share buybacks, but Nvidia still needs to continuously invest in chip R&D, supply chains, and strategic projects. Major risks include large customers cutting AI capital expenditure, restrictions on advanced chip exports, competition from custom AI chips, and customer concentration. If revenue growth or profit margins decline, the market may downgrade earnings expectations, and the support of buybacks for the stock price will also weaken. @Captain's Treasure

$NU Holdings(NU.US)

Context: Looking at long-term performance, Nu Bank has a fantastic opportunity to grow its revenue and scale its highly efficient financial services offering. Its monthly cost to serve active customers, which includes technology and customer support, was just $1 and has remained close to this level for years. Its monthly revenue per active customer is $17.10 and growing 22% year over year. In Brazil, Nu Bank now has a ton of existing customers but still has plenty of room to grow revenue per customer by adding new spending, savings, and lending solutions. In Mexico, there is a massive opportunity to grow total customers while simultaneously bringing its existing product suite to the country to drive revenue-per-customer growth.

My Trade: NU looks relatively cheap at current price levels based on its improving earnings. However, I do see a possibility of the stock sliding back to $12, which could be an even more attractive price to add.

Takeaway: There is also an opportunity to grow in U.S., and perhaps in Latin America. This should keep Nu Holdings' earnings growing for years to come, which is why the stock looks attractive at its current market cap of $68 billion. @Captain's Treasure

$MP Materials(MP.US)

Context: MP Materials (MP) fell massively last week, closing at $47.26. The late-week pressure looked like profit-taking after a long advance.

Valuation: a Sept 15 report flagged that MP might trade above fair value after a 142% run, which matched the stock’s pullback this week. The second was a shareholder disclosure the same day, showing California State Teachers Retirement System held $516.73m worth of MP stock. Some commentary framed that as a sign of patient institutional interest, but no company filings indicate a change in the fund’s position during the week. Beyond that, several cross-market pieces mentioned rare earth supply chains and global fragmentation, though those were mostly macro commentary rather than company-specific developments.

My Trade: I started a new position in MP as I believe metals are essential for industrial usage and the stock has retraced substantially after a higher bullish run last year.

Takeaway: Nineteen institutions cover MP Materials. Of those, 13 rate it buy, 5 rate it outperform, and 1 rates it hold, with no underperform or sell ratings. The consensus recommendation is strong buy, with a consensus target price of $74.The target range is wide: a low of $57 against a high of $100. @Captain's Treasure

$Ps S&P 500 Mmtm(SPMO.US)

Context: U.S. stocks surged today after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, reaffirming its focus on taming inflation and removing a long-standing source of market anxiety. With the rate hike behind them, investors returned to their favorite themes. Tech shares gained, with Alphabet and Meta rising more than 1% each before the bell. Understandably, memory and data center stocks are also on the rise, some even going above +5%.

My Trade: I have been invested in SPMO since last year and for me, this is the slightly riskier but better returns of the top momentum S&P stocks. I am also waiting to see what additions/cuts there will be in the upcoming reshuffle.

Takeaway: The rate policy decision will be crucial in determining investor sentiment in the second half of September, historically a weak month for equities. So far this month, the benchmark S&P 500 has lost 1.7%. The upcoming reshuffle for SPMO also has investors speculating that Micron's weightage would be cut in half to 5% while increasing Nvidia slightly. @Captain's Treasure

$Oracle(ORCL.US)

Context: Recent debates in the AI industry surrounding the pace of advanced model development have intensified, putting Oracle under renewed market scrutiny. As Oracle aggressively expands its cloud infrastructure and maintains close business ties with AI clients such as OpenAI, the market is growing concerned that if frontier AI labs slow down model R&D or cut related spending, it could further impact demand for cloud computing and AI compute power. Oracle is transitioning from a traditional database software company into an AI infrastructure provider, and OpenAI is one of the most critical customers in this transformation. The closer their relationship becomes, the more pronounced the impact of changes in OpenAI's fundraising, model development, and compute spending will be on Oracle's valuation.

My Trade: I have been focusing on other stocks and hasn't touch Oracle for quite a long time now since my cost is so high. However, I am now interested to lower my average, waiting for Oracle to drop to $120+

Takeaway: Oracle's long term plan is still intact, and the structure is looking good as they start to accelerate towards clearing their debt. However, their close ties with OpenAI can be a double-edged sword; as seen a few days ago when Sam Altman calls for slower AI development, Oracle's share price also dropped along with news of them cutting workers. @Captain's Treasure

$CSOP iEdge SREIT ETF S(SRT.SG)

Context: Bought more CSOP SRT Reit index ETF during the recent dip as interest rate hikes threaten the profitability of reit holdings. Besides, SG dividends are not subjected to any tax files which is great for investors.

My Trade: Added to my position to build a long term passive income stream with about 6% dividend yield while having a large basket of different sectors of Reits to hedge against.

Takeaway: The cyclical cycle of interest rates come and go every few years. Reits are great for income investing, as they are required to pay out 90% of taxable income each year to investors. With SRT holding fundamentally strong SG reits, and providing a consistent dividend payout every year, I think this is a good chance to accumulate more. @Captain's Treasure
