Early Opportunities
Get in Before the Crowd
Issues
In the September issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we look into what this afternoon’s Federal Reserve meeting could mean for the market. Then we dig into five small-cap companies from the industrial, biotech, software and clean energy markets. There’s something for everybody.

Enjoy!
In the August Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we talk about what happened to the summer stock rally and dig into five companies selling everything from coffee to sporting goods to mobile advertising tools.

Enjoy!
In the July Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we take a quick look at earnings expectations for each of our positions. And we dig into five opportunities spanning AI, HVAC services, retail, real estate and quantum computing.

This may just be our most diverse group of stocks ever.

Enjoy!
In the June Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities we talk Artificial Intelligence (AI) and break down the technology into a few buckets of opportunity that make it a little easier to understand.

I also profile five ways investors can put their money to work in companies with AI exposure.

Enjoy!
In the May Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, I profile a potential turnaround story in a well-known stock that is returning to its roots.

We also take a closer look at one of the highest-end luxury brands in the world, an unknown green tech company, an emerging MedTech star and a construction materials specialist that’s spreading across the U.S.

Enjoy!
In the April issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we take a quick look at what to expect from portfolio positions set to report in the coming weeks and dive into fresh opportunities that are shaping up nicely now.

At the top of the buy list is a software name we just added to our Watch List last month. We also take a position in a cosmetics stock that looks superb, pull back the curtain on a rising biotech star, tour an enterprise software name based in Canada and revisit a MedTech stock that’s finally getting some respect from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Enjoy!
In the March Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities we take a look at what’s been unfolding in the financial system and consider implications for the FOMC’s meeting and subsequent rate hike decision next week.

Suffice to say, buying a bunch of stocks into the current uncertainty doesn’t seem like the best idea. We’ll add a few partial positions, but the bulk of this month’s new ideas are going on our Watch List.

We’ll take things as they come and consider plucking names off this list as things develop.

Never a dull moment!
In the February issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we continue to pursue stocks offering exposure to a diversity of end markets.

Our top pick this month is a mega-cap tech company making waves with AI investments that promise to shake up one of the largest software markets in the world.

We also take a look at a small industrial company, cover two software stocks with leadership positions in their respective markets and peak at a recovering semiconductor stock.

As always, there should be something for everyone in this month’s issue!
In the January issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we take heed of the improving market breadth and dig into five companies from different industries that look compelling now.

Our top pick this month is a small-cap oil and gas equipment company that’s a leader in the offshore market. I also feature an online retailer specializing in the luxury market, an emerging MedTech name, a customer experience specialist and an online learning marketplace that’s poised to recover nicely.

As always, there should be something for everyone in this month’s issue!
In the December Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities we look at five companies growing nicely and with share prices that have held up reasonably well in recent months.

Our top pick this month is a small-cap biopharma stock that just made a timely acquisition this week. I also feature a potential biotech superstar, an emerging MedTech name, a solar energy specialist and an online retailer that we’ve seen before.

As always, there should be something for everyone in this month’s Issue!


In the November Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, I take a quick look at some recent earnings reports and continue to spread things out among different industries with our new additions.

This month I cover a premium furniture retailer, a micro-cap biotech, an online finance specialist, an oil refiner and a somewhat speculative space economy stock. There should be something in this Issue for everybody.

In the October Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities, we try to interpret some of the latest commentary from Fed officials and look at the future cadence of expected interest rate hikes.

Then we dive into five stocks that seem poised for gains into the end of the year. On balance, we’re still optimistic the worst is behind us. But it’s not (yet) time to be overly aggressive. We try to balance the risks and possible rewards by managing position sizes and continuing to build up our Watch List.

As expected, the Federal Reserve elected to hold the Federal Funds Rate (FFR) steady today (at 5.25% to 5.5%) and also increased their projection for the FFR for 2024 from 4.6% (in June) to 5.1%. This is consistent with the “higher for longer” mantra.

Earnings Roundup: LUNG, RACE, ELF, SHOP, HUBS, FIX
With the July Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities coming out this Wednesday and the market acting extremely strong, we’re going to be opportunistic and lock in a few modest gains today.
We jumped into a half-sized position in Airbnb (ABNB) in January 2022 then filled the second half in August of last year. Since we’ve been in the position ABNB has never done well. And while I fully believe in the business model I have concerns about the stock’s potential over the next 3-6 months.
We’ve held one-third of a position in Xponential Fitness (XPOF) after having sold the first third last September for a 28% gain and the second third just last month for a 39% gain.
I plucked Samsara (IOT) off our Watch List in early March after the company’s strong earnings report, hoping to grab a bigger upside move. Since then, the stock has been up and down some and closed yesterday right around our entry price.

We’re making two modest changes today.
