5i Research Weekly Rockets and Duds
Welcome to week nine of 5i Research's market ROCKETS AND DUDS
It's veterans day at Rockets and Duds! All three of the big winners from last week have made our list before. What goes up.....must keep going up?
BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. BBAI 
BigBear really wants to get noticed with its second showing in Rockets and Duds, with an impressive 103% gain last week. BBAI offers 'AI-powered decision intelligence solutions for defense and national security'. The stock surged on news of a Department of Defense contract to advance BBAI's virtual anticipation network prototype. Essentially, BBAI hopes to find terrorists and other bad guys before they do anything, kind of like that movie Minority Report. The future, it seems, is here now.

Palantir Inc. PLTR Palantir, an AI data analytics company run by a guy with crazy hair, rose 34% last week on the back of stronger than expected earnings and a solid forecast for the year. In its first appearance in the Rockets and Duds in December, we noted how expensive the stock was on valuation. Well, apparently valuation still doesn't matter, with the stock now at 207 times' earnings. Investors are excited about growth, with some calling it 'the best stock for the DOGE era' due to its close ties to the government.

Oklo Inc. OKLO OKLO, a company developing nuclear fission reactors which can be fueled by recycled waste, still has no reported revenue. Apparently, that is of no concern to investors, who pushed the stock up 33% this week, for a 2025 gain so far of 161% and a one-year gain of 423%. Nuclear stocks have been one of the best 'Trump Trades' so far, and B. Riley Securities' price target on the stock more than doubling to $55 from $27 also helped 'power' gains last week. Yes, this stock really is going nuclear.

Newell Brands Inc. NWL Hey consumers! Get out that Sharpie and light your Yankee Candle. Please! Newell Brands, the maker of these two fine products, lost a quarter of its market value last week as the company forecast a drop in sales this year and a wider-than-expected loss in the current quarter. It looks like people aren't buying enough Crock Pots, Elmer's Glue or Mr. Coffee. The company blamed inflation and the strength of the US dollar, and added that tax and trade policies in the US are adding even more uncertainty. But it's OK. If investors lose their house because they bought Newell stock they can be sure that the company's Coleman stove will work when they are cooking outside while they are homeless.
