These are the stocks on my watchlist (03/7) - Jobs, Chips, and Lunar Landers

This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed!

I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments.

The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.

Jobs report came out premarket, overall expect a small recovery today.

News: [Us Employment Report For February](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/live-blog/2025-03-07/us-employment-report-for-february)

**Ticker:** [**AVGO (Broadcom)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AVGO&p=d)

**Catalyst:** Earnings. Reported EPS of $1.60 vs. $1.49 exp, revenue of $14.92B vs. $14.61B expected. AVGO gave strong guidance of $14.9B vs $14.76B. Cited strong growth due to AI chips and/infrastructure components for training AI.

**Technicals:** Watching to see if we break $200 level today.

**Catalyst/Sector Context:** I think we're seeing the AI hype become more concentrated in the "winners" of the AI race now. There are some companies that ARE citing falling demand for their AI related products while others are stating that demand is still robust. Likely going to see greater consolidation in the future. Major chipmakers like Broadcom are benefiting from hyperscaler investments in AI over the 3 year AI boom.

**Risks:** Tariffs/supply chain constraints make the supply chain far more tenuous.

**Related Tickers:** NVDA, AMD, QCOM, all other semiconductor stocks

**Ticker:** [**LUNR (Intuitive Machines)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=LUNR&p=d)

**Catalyst:** LUNR’s uncrewed Nova-C lander, Athena, encountered challenges upon landing on the Moon. (Something to do with their lunar lander not landing at the correct angle, I'm no rocket scientist.)

**Technicals:** LUNR sold off close to 40% yesterday, watching to see if we break the lows at $6.70 premarket. We had 3 major spikes (2 went to the lower) and I'm interested in seeing if we can make any form of recovery today.

**Catalyst/Sector Context:** These exploratory spaceflight companies are insanely volatile and depend on their spaceflights doing well- as seen yesterday.

**Risks:** Technical malfunctions could impact investor confidence and future funding. Delays in future missions or failures in securing government contracts could also hinder growth.

**Related Tickers:** ASTS, RKLB

**Ticker:** [**WBA (Walgreens)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=WBA&p=d)

**Catalyst:** WBA has agreed to a \~$10B deal with Sycamore Partners to take the company private. Deal is $11.45/shr in cash.

**Technicals:** We saw a strong spike from 10.60 -> 11.20 after the news.

**Catalyst/Sector Context:** Buyout play, but obviously there's not much reward left on this catalyst.

**Risks:** Deal could get cancelled, more delays, regulatory scrutiny, etc.

**Ticker:** [**HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=HPE&p=d)

**Catalyst:** EPS of $0.49 vs. $0.49 expected. Revenue of $7.85B vs. $7.82B expected. HPE’s results were in line with expectations but they cited profit next year would be hurt by tariffs and had weak margins on server sales. Stated IT products from China and Mexico would affect the company’s outlook.

**Catalyst/Sector Context:** The IT hardware sector is facing supply chain disruptions and rising production costs due to tariff outlook. Easy rule of thumb: the more complex the product (advanced electronics), the more affected by tariffs they are.

**Related Tickers:** DELL, CSCO, NTAP
