Stock-by-stock read

UBER — It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), with an RSI of 65.04 in a neutral zone. The daily MACD confirms bullish momentum, and the price just broke its 20-day high — two short-term technical signals lining up. The analysts' average target price implies +26.7% upside — one of the score's strongest signals. With a PEG of 8.74, the price already bakes in high growth expectations.

NVDA — It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), and an RSI of 49.61 suggests it isn't overbought yet — there's room before the momentum runs out. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. The analysts' average target price implies +43.0% upside — one of the score's strongest signals. With a PEG of 0.59, the price looks cheap relative to how fast earnings are expected to grow.

INTC — It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), and an RSI of 37.54 suggests it isn't overbought yet — there's room before the momentum runs out. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. The analysts' average target price implies +31.3% upside — one of the score's strongest signals.

TSM — It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), and an RSI of 49.9 suggests it isn't overbought yet — there's room before the momentum runs out. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. Relative volume of 0.6x is below normal — little interest today. The analysts' average target price implies +32.8% upside — one of the score's strongest signals.

GOOGL — It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), and an RSI of 48.73 suggests it isn't overbought yet — there's room before the momentum runs out. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. The analysts' average target price implies a modest +23.4% upside. With a PEG of 0.93, the price looks cheap relative to how fast earnings are expected to grow.
