Plug Power, Sabre, OneWater, Kura Sushi, and American Airlines Stocks Trade Up, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +1.5%, S&P 500 +1.0%) as reports pointed to easing tensions between Israel and Iran. The Wall Street Journal said senior Iranian officials had signaled a willingness to restart stalled nuclear talks, on the condition that Washington refrain from joining Israel's ongoing strikes. This development triggered a significant decline in oil prices, easing inflation concerns. Also, it is possible some investors were buying the dip following the sell-off at the end of the previous week.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Plug Power's shares are extremely volatile and have had 95 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was about 2 months ago when the stock gained 39.2% on the news that the company locked in a new loan of up to $525 million, boosting its cash pile and providing more headroom to support operations and future growth plans.
It also shared strong early sales for the first quarter of 2025, beating Wall Street's estimates. Q1 2025 revenue guidance was estimated at around $130 million to $134 million.
Looking ahead, PLUG forecasted second-quarter 2025 revenue between $140 million and $180 million, aligning closely with analyst consensus and reinforcing confidence in its near-term outlook.
Plug Power is down 43.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.31 per share, it is trading 60.8% below its 52-week high of $3.34 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Plug Power's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $240.37.

Investors should consider this growth stock… it's SpaceX's competition
Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) is a US-listed growth stock that gives investors rare access to the commercial space sector. As a vertically integrated launch and space systems provider, Rocket Lab is often compared to SpaceX in its ambition and capabilities. But there's one crucial difference: you can actually buy shares in Rocket Lab, while SpaceX remains private. Rocket Lab delivers launch services, builds small and medium-class rockets, and manufactures spacecraft components for a range of commercial, government, and defense customers. With rapid revenue growth, an impressive order book, and expansion into new markets, Rocket Lab offers public market investors a way to participate in the booming space economy. It targets many of the same opportunities as its more famous, privately held peer. Rocket Lab and SpaceX operate in the same commercial space sector but differ significantly in scale, maturity, and valuation. Rocket Lab's market cap is currently $12.85bn, with trailing 12 months (TTM) revenue of approximately $460m. Despite strong growth — revenue nearly doubled from $240m in 2023 — Rocket Lab remains a smaller, earlier-stage player focused on small to medium launch vehicles and spacecraft manufacturing. Its valuation multiples are extremely high, with a forward price-to-sales ratio of 22.3 times, reflecting investor optimism. SpaceX, by contrast, is a far more mature private company valued at about $350bn. It's projected to generate $15.5bn in revenue in 2025. This is driven by its dominant Falcon 9 launch services and rapidly growing Starlink satellite internet business. SpaceX's valuation implies roughly a 22.5 times multiple on forward revenue. This is broadly in line with Rocket Lab. Focusing on Rocket Lab, the company is projected to deliver rapid revenue growth over the next several years, with estimates rising from $573m in 2025 to $889 in 2026, $1.2bn in 2027, and $1.69bn in 2028. This represents annual growth rates consistently above 30%, and even a jump of nearly 77% in 2030. However, the number of analysts providing forecasts declines sharply after 2027, dropping from 11–14 analysts in the near term to just two or one by 2028 and 2030. The one analyst projecting as far as 2030 sees $4bn in revenue for the year. I had the chance to buy Rocket Lab shares at $15 just two months ago. I missed out as unfortunately my attention had been diverted elsewhere. However, I found another entry point. And personally, I see this as an investment to hold for a very long period. The space industry is still in its early innings, with enormous potential as satellite launches, lunar missions, and in-orbit services become increasingly mainstream. And like any investment, there are risks. Rocket Lab remains loss-making. It's expected to turn a profit in 2026, when it will trade at 620 times earnings. And while this moderates to 140 times in 2027, it's still expensive and introduces plenty of execution risk. However, I certainly believe UK investors should consider this one. It could be a real winner going forward. The post Investors should consider this growth stock… it's SpaceX's competition appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Here are 10 stocks Goldman Sachs expects to be winners after a wild first half for the market
Goldman Sachs just updated one of its stock baskets with its picks for the highest risk-adjusted returns. The basket has outperformed the S&P 500 so far this year, gaining 3% year-to-date. The S&P 500's overall risk-adjusted return has been lower than usual so far this year, strategists said. It's been a volatile year for stock traders, but there are a handful of new winners in the S&P 500 that could be poised for big gains over the next 12 months, according to Goldman Sachs. In a note to clients on Friday, the bank said it updated its Sharpe Ratio basket, a list of 50 stocks with the highest expected risk-adjusted returns. So far, the basket has gained 3% year-to-date, edging past the S&P 500's 1.7% gain. The S&P 500's overall risk-adjusted return has been "lower than usual" so far in 2025, the strategists said, pointing to increased volatility and lower-than-average returns stemming from fears around tariffs. The bank rebalanced its portfolio by choosing stocks with a high prospective Sharpe Ratio, a gauge for risk-adjusted returns calculated by dividing a percentage return to a stock's consensus 12-month price target by its six-month option-implied volatility. "Currently, the median S&P 500 stock is expected to post an 11% return to its 12-month consensus price target with a 6-month implied volatility of 28, yielding a prospective risk-adjusted return of 0.4," the bank wrote. Here are the top 10 newest additions to Goldman's Sharpe basket. Ticker: MRNA Return to consensus price target: 88% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.3 Ticker: VTRS Return to consensus price target: 61% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.5 Ticker: ENPH Return from consensus price target: 45% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.6 Ticker: PCG Return to consensus price target: 45% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.1 Ticker: TMO Return to consensus price target: 42% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: FI Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: COO Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: CRM Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.1 Ticker: LEN Return to consensus price target: 34% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.9 Ticker: EPAM Return to consensus price target: 33% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.8 Read the original article on Business Insider
