Shares of Vertiv (VRT) are indicated to open at a fresh all-time high today after the company delivered a solid Q1 with terrific order flow and upgraded forward guidance.

Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are trading down this morning after the company beat Q1 expectations. Revenue grew 15.2% to $9.4 billion (beating by 1.3%, or $125.2 million) while EPS grew 83.3% to $5.28 (beating by 16.7%, or $0.76). Net streaming additions was 9.3 million, way ahead of expectations.

A number of stocks that were doing well have seen momentum fade and/or turn negative lately, and this morning’s slightly hotter-than-expected CPI print and rising chatter about no rate cuts in 2024 isn’t helping.

Sell Varonis (VRNS)

Shares of Elastic (ESTC) continue to struggle in the weeks after reporting earnings. We sold part of our position on March 5 for a 30% gain, and we’ll sell the rest today for a roughly 22% gain. SELL REMAINING SHARES

Shares of Cadre (CDRE) were down almost 10% yesterday on news of a secondary offering, which will be priced at 35, roughly the level of yesterday’s closing price. It’s not atypical for a stock like this to absorb a secondary over a week (roughly) then resume its upward march. Additionally, with part of CDRE’s growth strategy revolving around M&A, it’s not too surprising that they would seek to raise capital and do so with equity (strong stock) rather than debt (high cost). Maintaining Buy rating as this offering doesn’t change the big-picture story. BUY

Spotting a “top” in in high-flying stocks is impossible but sticking to a system of taking partial profits on a very fast-moving stock is pretty darn easy, if you can manage your emotions.

GitLab (GTLB): Good Quarter, Questionable Guidance. Book The Gain

My “plan” to enter the weekend patting myself on the back for a week of decent stock performance in our portfolio might be foiled by Elastic (ESTC).
