Your portfolio needs stocks under $10 (here's why)

Your portfolio is probably top-heavy.

Apple, Microsoft, Amazon – the usual suspects. Safe? Sure. Exciting returns? Not anymore.

The problem: When every portfolio owns the same megacaps, where's your edge? How do you outperform when you're buying what everyone else already owns?

You need asymmetric bets. Stocks where $1,000 can become $2,000 without requiring miracles. That means looking below $10, where the math actually works in your favor.

But here's the catch – most sub-$10 stocks ARE garbage. Picking randomly is financial suicide.

That's why we screened for three specific criteria:

1. Analyst "Buy" ratings (not from blogs, from institutions)

2. Recent earnings beats and raised guidance

3. Real revenue growth, not just promises

The result? Three companies that check every box:

• A fintech processor showing 17% revenue growth and expanding margins

• A biotech with product sales growing 92% year-over-year

• A regional tech leader generating $873 million quarterly revenue

These aren't lottery tickets. They're calculated bets on undervalued growth. The kind that can double while your blue chips gain 8%.

BREAKING NEWS

📈 $9.6 Trillion in 27 Days. The Market Does Not Care About Your Feelings.

Let's just say the quiet part out loud. Another day, another record all-time high. It was just a few months ago that the market was in pull panic mode over Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and $120 oil. Yesterday, the S&P 500 closed at a fresh all-time high. That is $9.6 trillion in market cap added back in 27 trading days. The fastest and most violent comeback most investors have ever seen in their lives.

Here is what drove yesterday specifically:

• 🕊️ Axios reported that the US and Iran are edging toward a one-page framework agreement to end the war, with US officials expecting Iran to respond within 48 hours. Oil cratered over 12% on the news. When oil drops that fast, everything else rips.

• 🤖 AI stocks went on a shopping spree. $NVDA, $GOOGL, $AVGO, and $MSFT all surged as money rotated hard back into tech. The sector that led this rally down led it back up.

• ✈️ Airlines, consumer stocks, and industrials all surged as lower oil prices signal relief for companies whose entire cost structure runs on fuel. The Strait trade unwound fast and furious.

With earnings mostly in the rearview mirror, all focus is now on whether the Iran deal gets signed or not. Trump already threw cold water on it Wednesday afternoon, calling a deal a "big assumption." One Truth Social post in either direction and this market moves 2% instantly.

The Munch Take: Three months ago people were genuinely asking whether this was the start of a bear market. Today we are at all-time highs with $9.6 trillion recovered. The market is not rational and it is not sentimental. It just prices in the next thing. Right now the next thing is peace. If it gets it, this rally has more legs. My wife asked if we should sell everything and buy a rental property. I think that’s a pretty good sign that there’s a bubble.

🎮 Ryan Cohen Is Selling Stuff on eBay to Buy eBay. This Is Real Life.

The GameStop and eBay saga got stranger this week. After going on CNBC to make his case, Cohen posted on X: "I'm selling stuff on eBay to pay for eBay." He listed an autographed pizza slice from a GameStop store for $56 billion. The man is trolling at a corporate level while simultaneously filing SEC documents. Respect the range.

Here is where the stocks actually stand. $EBAY is trading around $109, well below the $125 offer price. That gap tells you everything. The market is not pricing in a deal closing. $GME dropped 10% on the news and has not recovered. Cohen's own shareholders are not convinced either.

Polymarket currently puts the odds of this deal actually closing at around 16%. That is not nothing, but it is close to nothing.

The core problem has not changed. eBay's board has not engaged in the conversation, especially after Cohen said half the payment would be in $GME stock. Cohen also sidestepped funding questions on CNBC and called out eBay insiders for selling over $120 million in stock over the last five years while buying zero shares in the open market. The man is a genius at stirring the pot but actually closing deals is to be seen.

The Munch Take: Cohen is smart, well-funded, and has proven people wrong before. But right now this looks less like a takeover and more like the world's most expensive attention campaign. The pizza slice is funny. The $56 billion price tag is not. eBay's board has not picked up the phone. Until they do, this is a headline, not a deal.

MARKET OVERVIEW

🍿 Tasty Movers & Shakers

🤖 $NVDA and $GLW ripped 5.68% and 12% after announcing a partnership to build three new US facilities focused on optical technology for AI infrastructure. Two companies, one very large bet on the future of data centers.

🏰 $DIS Disney climbed 7.54% after revenue topped expectations, driven by streaming and theme parks both pulling their weight. The mouse is having a good year.

💊 $CVS jumped 7.65% after beating on earnings and revenue and raising its full-year guidance. The stock is now up 2% over the last 5-years. So yeah, not great.

🚗 $UBER advanced 8.53% on stronger-than-expected bookings guidance. There was a slight revenue miss but the market looked past it. Forward bookings are what matter here and they were good.

🛢️ $XOM and $CVX dropped 4% and 3.88% respectively as oil cratered on Iran peace deal hopes. When oil falls 12% in a day, energy stocks go with it. That is just how it works.

🛒 $CART Instacart face-planted 8.08% despite solid earnings and 14% revenue growth. The market is not worried about what Instacart did last quarter. It is worried about what Amazon and Walmart do next quarter. Good results did not matter. The competitive threat did.

STOCK OF THE DAY

🛵 DoorDash Just Had Its Best Quarter Ever. You're Welcome.

My eating habits are no longer a private matter between my wife and I. $DASH just reported earnings and I am fairly certain I personally contributed to their 33% revenue growth.

DoorDash posted $4 billion in revenue, up 33% year over year. Total orders jumped 27% to 933 million. Marketplace gross order value, which is the total dollar value of everything ordered through the platform, hit $31.6 billion. The stock ripped over 15% after hours. EPS came in at 42 cents against an expectation of 37 cents. Revenue missed slightly but nobody cared. The guidance was strong enough to bury the conversation.

📈 The Bull Case:

• Record membership signups and a new high for monthly active users in Q1. The platform is still growing its core.

• DoorDash is no longer just a food delivery app. Grocery, convenience, retail, and international expansion via the Deliveroo acquisition are all adding revenue streams.

• Q2 guidance for marketplace gross order value came in above analyst estimates. The growth story is intact

📉 The Bear Case:

• Revenue missed estimates by nearly $200 million. That is not a rounding error.

• DoorDash is spending over $50 million on a driver gas relief program in Q2 alone because oil prices are hammering its delivery workforce. That is a real cost with no clean end date.

• Uber Eats is not sitting still. The competition for delivery market share is expensive and nobody has won yet.

The Munch Take: DoorDash is building something genuinely big. It started as a burger delivery app and is quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for local commerce. The revenue miss stings but the order volume and guidance say the business is healthy. My wife asked why we spend so much on DoorDash every month. I told her I was doing research. She did not believe me. She was right not to. But at least the stock went up.
