* Increasing spending from Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta leads us to also add more Marvell shares.

-- Buy 110 shares of Meta Platforms META at or near $480. Following the trade, META shares will account for roughly 1.25% of the portfolio.
Following our comments from earlier today, we are taking advantage of the sharp pullback in the market and the oversold conditions in Amazon and Microsoft shares to bulk up the portfolio’s exposure. While the market may have some concerns over their spending levels, which will benefit Nvidia NVDA and Marvell, we recognize we are still in the early stages of AI deployments and adoption. However, comments from Microsoft as well as ServiceNow NOW during their earnings calls point to growing enterprise adoption of AI.
Our price targets for AMZN and MSFT remain unchanged at $220 and $480, respectively, as do our respective ratings of One and Two. As we make these trades we will revise our AMZN panic point to $140 and MSFT's to $350.
We are also using the market environment to call up shares of Meta Platforms to the portfolio with a starter position and a price target of $575. While that offers potential upside of about 20%, continued market turbulence could pull META shares closer to their 200-day moving average near $434, which risks another high-single-digit move lower. For that reason, we will start META with a Two rating. Should the shares find their way to the 200-day moving average, it would give us reason to scoop up more shares and revisit our rating. Our initial panic point for META shares is set at $400.
While we could be a tad early in making these moves, we do not see oversold conditions like we do with AMZN and MSFT very often. With META, the pullback comes despite the company’s hefty June-quarter beat. Similar to MSFT and AMZN, META shared that it, too, will ramp spending on AI, which adds another layer of support for MRVL and explains our decision to add to that position today as well, and following the movement in the shares over the last few weeks. Our price target for MRVL remains $95 and we will reset our panic point at $50 following today’s trade.
As we noted earlier today, we have a few other names on our portfolio shopping list, including Universal Display OLED, Qualcomm QCOM, Trade Desk TTD, Waste Management WM, Builders FirstSource BLDR and ServiceNow.
