SCHW Bullish Opening Trade Signal
Investment Rationale
Investment Thesis
Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) presents a compelling bullish opportunity as macroeconomic tailwinds and firm-specific catalysts align to support further upside. The recent steepening of the yield curve directly enhances Schwab’s core business model—deploying client cash into longer-duration securities—which materially boosts net interest income. Additionally, Schwab’s lean cost base and scalable operations provide strong leverage to rising revenues. These dynamics, paired with growing investor risk appetite and sector leadership in capital markets, set the stage for continued outperformance into year-end and beyond.
Technical Analysis
The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) broke out decisively above its multi-month consolidation, clearing the $94 resistance area with robust upward momentum. Presently, shares are positioned above the 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, reinforcing a powerful trend across timeframes. The RSI is elevated at 75.2, indicating persistent buying pressure. While breakout volume remains steady rather than expanding, there is limited overhead resistance, pointing to further upside potential. The $108 area serves as the next technical objective, coinciding with a key Fibonacci extension and a psychological milestone.
Fundamental Analysis
Schwab trades at a noticeable valuation discount to peers, despite superior growth and profitability metrics that point to a structural edge in the brokerage and asset management landscape. The firm’s business model benefits disproportionately from rising interest rates and strong client asset flows, both of which are supportive heading into 2026.
- Forward PE Ratio: 22.42x vs. Industry Median 25.30x
- Expected EPS Growth: 22.51% vs. Industry Median 11.83%
- Expected Revenue Growth: 11.32% vs. Industry Median 7.62%
- Net Margins: 33.68% vs. Industry Median 21.10%
Options Trade
To position for further upside in SCHW, consider buying the SCHW Jan 16, 2026 87.5 Call for $14.80. This LEAPS call provides long-dated exposure to Schwab’s upside potential, with break-even at $102.30, just above current resistance targets and consistent with the $108 upside scenario. The strategy risks $1,480 per contract with unlimited reward potential beyond breakeven. This trade offers a defined-risk, leveraged expression of a bullish view with ample time for the thesis to play out amid favorable macro and company-specific drivers.

FSLR Bullish Opening Trade Signal
Investment Rationale
Investment Thesis
First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) offers an attractive risk-reward setup ahead of its upcoming earnings report on July 31st. As a key player in the solar industry, FSLR is well-positioned to benefit from policy support, clean energy tailwinds, and margin expansion opportunities in utility-scale solar deployments. Investor sentiment appears to be improving following a prolonged period of consolidation, and the stock is showing early signs of technical reacceleration. With a valuation discount and strong earnings/revenue momentum relative to peers, FSLR presents a compelling near-term bullish opportunity, particularly into a catalyst event that could drive further upside.
Technical Analysis
First Solar’s current technical indicators suggest that bullish momentum is building ahead of the company’s earnings report this Thursday. The stock’s ability to remain above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages underscores a strong upward trend. This multi-timeframe alignment reflects a solid price structure and reinforces the prevailing bullish sentiment. Notably, the 20-day moving average has recently crossed above the 200-day, and the 50-day is on the verge of doing the same. The RSI, currently near 60, suggests there is still room for momentum to build without entering overbought territory. If First Solar delivers strong earnings, it could drive a continued rally, potentially pushing the stock above the $195 level and toward the $210 area last seen at the end of 2024.
Fundamental Analysis
FSLR’s valuation and growth metrics suggest it remains undervalued relative to industry peers, despite superior operating performance:
- Forward PE Ratio: 12.20x vs. Industry Median 29.73x
- Expected EPS Growth: 31.05% vs. Industry Median 17.13%
- Expected Revenue Growth: 18.02% vs. Industry Median 7.71%
- Net Margins: 29.72% vs. Industry Median 6.69%
The company’s net margins are particularly impressive, exceeding the industry median by over 23 percentage points—highlighting First Solar’s strong operational efficiency and profitability in a highly competitive sector.
Options Trade
The proposed trade is a bull call vertical spread: Buy to Open 1 FSLR Aug 15, 2025 180/195 Call Vertical for a net debit of $5.95, or $595.00 per spread. This structure risks $595 to target a potential $905 reward if FSLR trades at or above $195 by expiration. The strike selection captures a breakout through current resistance levels, while the short call caps gains modestly in exchange for reduced capital outlay. With 17 days to expiry and earnings serving as a near-term catalyst, this setup balances defined risk with strong directional leverage.

GOOGL

DailyPlay – Opening Trade (GOOGL) – July 29, 2025
GOOGL Bullish Opening Trade Signal
Investment Rationale
Investment Thesis
Alphabet Inc. is showing a solid gain following a recent strong earnings report. The stock continues to trend higher and is currently trading above all major moving averages, with the 20-day MA acting as short-term support. Despite ongoing regulatory challenges, the company continues to deliver strong operational performance and strategic execution across its core businesses. Its AI integration across search, cloud, and emerging technologies positions it for sustained double-digit growth, while its $70 billion buyback authorization and growing dividend provide immediate shareholder returns. Overall, Alphabet’s combination of scale, innovation, and capital returns underpins a constructive outlook for the stock in the second half of 2025.
Technical Analysis
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) recently broke out above key resistance near $180, confirming a bullish continuation following several months of consolidation. The stock is trading well above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, with the rising 20-day MA providing short-term support around $183. Relative strength continues to improve, with GOOGL outperforming the S&P 500 and the RSI climbing to 71.8, signaling strong bullish momentum. With prior highs near $202 acting as the next potential resistance level, the technical setup supports a continued move higher.
Fundamental Analysis
Alphabet’s valuation remains attractive, trading slightly below the industry median despite its superior profitability profile. Robust expected EPS and revenue growth highlight the strength of its diversified business model, while net margins well above peers demonstrate strong operating leverage and disciplined capital allocation. Management’s ability to maintain elevated margins amid regulatory and macro headwinds reinforces Alphabet’s position as a durable, high-quality compounder with significant long-term upside potential.
- Forward PE Ratio: 20.15x vs. Industry Median 20.85x
- Expected EPS Growth: 12.69% vs. Industry Median 12.45%
- Expected Revenue Growth: 10.46% vs. Industry Median 11.80%
- Net Margins: 31.12% vs. Industry Median 6.28%
Options Trade
To capitalize on GOOGL’s bullish momentum with limited downside exposure, consider selling the Sep 5, 2025 $190/$185 put vertical for a $1.77 credit. This trade generates a maximum profit of $177 if GOOGL stays above $190 through expiration, with a defined max loss of $323 should it fall below $185. With 39 days to expiration and strong technical support above $180, the setup offers a favorable 0.55:1 risk/reward ratio while benefiting from both time decay and the bullish trend.

Bullish Debit Spread – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) – The position is showing a solid gain following Goldman Sachs’ strong earnings report.

With decent time remaining until expiration, we plan to continue holding the trade.
MS – 32 DTE
Bullish Debit Spread – Morgan Stanley (MS) – Similar to GS, Morgan Stanley delivered a solid quarterly earnings report. However, the stock sold off afterward, and the position is showing a slight loss. With time remaining until expiration, we plan to continue holding the position for now.
MU – 32 DTE
Bullish Debit Spread – Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) – The position has a slight gain as MU holds above its 50-day moving average following a pullback from recent highs. The longer-term bullish trend is building after a period of consolidation, with the stock maintaining higher lows and trading above both the 200-day and 50-day MAs. We plan to continue holding the trade with plenty of time remaining until expiration
NEM – 18 DTE
Bullish Debit Spread – Newmont Corporation (NEM) – The position is showing a solid gain following the company’s earnings report. NEM broke out to new 52-week highs with strong volume, confirming bullish momentum. The stock is trading well above its key moving averages, and the RSI remains elevated, indicating continued strength. In its earnings release, Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) said net income attributable to shareholders in the second quarter of the year jumped by 142 percent. We plan to continue holding with time remaining until expiration.
SCHW – 144 DTE
Bullish Long Call – Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) – We maintain a positive outlook, driven by solid company fundamentals and ongoing strength across SCHW and the broader financial sector. The company reported solid earnings, and the stock made a strong upside move following the announcement. We will stay the course for now.
TGT – 18 DTE
Bullish Long Call – Target Corporation (TGT) – The trade is currently unchanged. After clearing resistance at 100, the stock moved sideways for a period, then broke out above the 106 level last week. Given the time left until expiration, we will continue to hold the position
TSLA – 11 DTE
Bearish Debit Spread – Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) – The position is currently down, though we’ve improved our overall risk profile by rolling the short leg for a gain and collecting a net credit. TSLA is trading in a narrow range with low volume, likely in anticipation of post-earnings movement. With the earnings report now behind us, we’ll maintain the position and continue monitoring price action closely as we evaluate the next steps.

MU

DailyPlay – Opening Trade (MU) – July 24, 2025
MU Bullish Opening Trade Signal
Investment Rationale
Investment Thesis
Micron Technology (MU) presents a compelling bullish opportunity as a leading semiconductor name poised to benefit from AI-driven memory demand and cyclical recovery in DRAM and NAND pricing. Despite recent macro uncertainty, the stock’s strong relative performance, discounted valuation, and robust growth profile set the stage for continued upside. With shares showing notable strength versus peers and broader markets, MU looks well-positioned to retest prior highs and potentially push toward the $135 level over the coming months.
Technical Analysis
MU recently broke out of a multi-month consolidation range on rising volume and strong momentum, clearing key resistance at the $115 level. The stock is now consolidating just above prior breakout levels and near short-term moving averages, with support developing around 50-day MA near $109. RSI remains neutral near 40, leaving room for renewed upside momentum. The intermediate-term trend remains bullish, with price action well-supported above a rising 200-day MA at $98. A confirmed move through $120 would likely open the door to a continued advance toward the $135 target zone.
Fundamental Analysis
Micron remains substantially undervalued relative to its peers despite sector-leading growth expectations and improving profitability outlook. The company’s long-term investment in high-bandwidth memory and AI-related infrastructure continues to support its revenue pipeline and margin expansion potential.
- Forward PE Ratio: 9.41x vs. Industry Median 27.83x
- Expected EPS Growth: 105.94% vs. Industry Median 18.05%
- Expected Revenue Growth: 26.78% vs. Industry Median 10.44%
- Net Margins: 18.41% vs. Industry Median 10.43%
Options Trade
To express a bullish view with defined risk, consider selling the MU Aug 29, 2025 109/104 Put Vertical for a $1.98 credit. This trade generates a maximum profit of $198 if MU stays above $109 through expiration, with a maximum risk of $302 if shares close below $104. The 36-day duration provides a favorable balance between time decay and directional exposure. Given strong support near $109 and overall bullish structure, this short put vertical allows traders to benefit from bullish consolidation while keeping risk limited and probabilities skewed in their favor.

NEM

DailyPlay – Opening Trade (NEM) – July 23, 2025
NEM Bullish Opening Trade Signal
Investment Rationale
Investment Thesis
Newmont Corporation (NEM) presents a timely bullish opportunity heading into its upcoming earnings report on Thursday, July 24th, after the close. The company stands to benefit from recent strength in gold prices alongside improving operational efficiency, potentially setting the stage for a positive earnings surprise. With the stock demonstrating firm technical momentum and attractive valuation metrics relative to peers, a defined risk/reward call vertical structure positions traders to capture near-term upside if earnings results or guidance exceed conservative market expectations.
Technical Analysis
NEM has been in a strong uptrend since bottoming in early December 2024, with price action now firmly above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages. The recent close at $61.70 marks a breakout above prior near-term resistance at $59, reinforcing the bullish continuation. An RSI reading of 61.87 suggests there is still room for further upside without immediate overbought risk. Additionally, the stock is showing notable relative strength versus both the Materials sector and broader equity indices, as traders position ahead of potential catalysts from earnings and sustained gold market momentum.
Fundamental Analysis
Newmont Corporation continues to trade at a valuation discount while maintaining sector-leading profitability metrics. Key comparative fundamentals include:
- Forward PE Ratio: 13.25x vs. Industry Median 22.23x
- Expected EPS Growth: 10.23% vs. Industry Median 13.83%
- Expected Revenue Growth: 0% vs. Industry Median 4.29%
- Net Margins: 25.77% vs. Industry Median 16.44%
Although revenue growth remains flat versus the industry, strong net margins and earnings growth potential, combined with gold market upside, reinforce the attractiveness of NEM ahead of earnings.
Options Trade
The proposed trade is to buy the NEM Aug 15, 2025, 60/67 call vertical for $268.00. This spread involves buying the $60 call and selling the $67 call for a net debit of $2.68, with a maximum potential reward of $432. The strategy offers a defined risk with approximately 1.6x reward-to-risk ratio if NEM closes at or above $67 by expiry in 23 days. The trade structure capitalizes on bullish momentum while mitigating cost versus buying outright calls, positioning for a continuation of the uptrend driven by earnings strength or a positive macro gold environment.

TSLA Bearish Trade Adjustment Signal
Investment Rationale
Adjustment Rationale:
Our bearish outlook on Tesla, Inc. remains intact. A “Bearish Trend Following” alert was recently triggered in the OptionsPlay platform, highlighting that Tesla’s recent rally occurred within a longer-term downtrend, offering a potentially favorable risk/reward setup for a bearish trade. We are maintaining our position as the stock tests key moving averages (20-, 50-, and 200-day) and continues to consolidate in a narrow range. Trading volume remains light, suggesting caution ahead of Tesla’s earnings report, scheduled for Wednesday, July 23rd, after the market closes. With 21 days left until expiration, we plan to manage risk proactively by rolling the short leg of the spread up in strike for a net credit, helping to reduce overall exposure. We will continue to monitor price action closely as earnings draw near.
