Last week, our issue was titled “Decision Time,” and after the Federal Reserve’s disappointing report, the market made the decision to go down with force—not only have the major indexes broken their intermediate-term trend lines, but tons of stocks have been nailed as the selling pressures intensify. Yes, there are still many decent-looking names out there, but the market is the elephant in the room at this point; it’s best to hold plenty of cash and do little new buying until stocks find their footing.

The good news from a stock picker’s standpoint is that it’s easiest to spot strength in a weak market; if a stock is holding up well in this environment, it deserves some extra attention. This week’s list has many stocks that fill that bill; our favorite is Infoblox (BLOX), a young, rapidly-growing networking firm. Just be sure to keep any positions small if you decide to buy.

It’s been nearly four weeks since the market’s correction and consolidation began, and overall, the damage hasn’t been that great—interest rate-sensitive names have been hammered, but many growth stocks remain in good shape. Now the question is whether buying power will return; holding up is all well and good, but we want to see evidence that institutional investors are adding shares of resilient stocks, even buying them as they reach new high ground. If we see that, we’ll switch the Market Monitor back into the green. But right now, we advise holding some cash and keeping new positions small.

Once again, we’re pleased to see many enticing names in this week’s list. Our favorite is one of the first stocks to hit new-high ground—Oasis Petroleum (OAS) is emerging from a gigantic base, and if the market gets going on the upside, it looks like a new leader.

There’s no question that last Thursday’s and Friday’s show of support in the major indexes and many stocks (especially growth-oriented stocks) was a positive sign—it tells you big investors are still interested in buying on weakness at or near support levels. (Many stocks found support near their 50-day lines.) That continues to bode well for the intermediate- and longer-term uptrend. That said, there are still question marks in the short-term—there’s been lots of distribution since mid-May, especially in many defensive and interest rate-sensitive areas, and sentiment remains a bit complacent. By all means, you should hold onto your top performers, but for now, we continue to advise caution when it comes to new buying (keep positions small) and holding some cash.

Perhaps the most impressive thing we saw this weekend were our own screens—this week’s list has a ton of great-looking charts despite the market’s recent sloppiness. Our favorite of the week is Parexel (PRXL), which remains in a tight, controlled uptrend and has great growth prospects.

Ever since the market suffered a wave of nasty distribution two weeks ago, it’s been tough to make much money; strength has attracted sellers, interest rate-sensitive groups have been crushed, the broad market has weakened and, today, growth stocks were battered. Now, the long-term trend is still up, and many stocks remain in uptrends, but the market has changed character. Thus, we’re moving our Market Monitor into neutral territory—maybe this retreat will find support soon, and if it does, we’ll be happy to quickly switch back to an aggressive stance. But for now, we believe it’s best to play things a little cautiously and hold some cash.

This week’s list does have a good crop of candidates if you want to nibble on weakness, including a few bigger-cap issues that have great stories. Our favorite is one of those bigger names—Boeing (BA), which, despite its image as a slow-moving behemoth, has a history of sustained moves when the aerospace industry turns up, as it has today.

Stock Name	Price	Buy Range	Loss Limit
Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX)	0.00	86-89	78-80

General Motors Company (GM)	0.00	33-34	31-32
Boeing (BA)	432.22	97-100	90-91

Overall, the main trends of most stocks, sectors and indexes remain firmly up; that’s why we’re leaving our Market Monitor in bullish territory. That said, we’re confident in saying that the next month will be more challenging than the straight-up action of the past month—more names are showing wide-and-loose action, which isn’t always abnormal but does make it harder to be patient and find low-risk entries. Remain bullish, but also stick to your plan and don’t be afraid to throw some losers or laggards overboard.

Once again, we’re pleased to see so many attractive, growth-oriented stocks in this week’s list, a sign that the buyers haven’t left the building. Our favorite of the week is Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), which is part of the strong biotech sector and has enjoyed an orderly pullback of late.

Whenever the market acts extraordinarily (either on the upside or downside), investors tend to forget their discipline and act instead on emotion. But the best thing to do is to stick with your plan and keep it simple. In this environment, doing that has allowed us to ride many winners higher as the bull market has strengthened, as well as jump into plenty of names during temporary weakness. Overall, the market’s trend remains strongly up so we’re keeping our Market Monitor in bullish territory. While now likely isn’t a great time to buy a ton of extended stocks, there remain a good number of opportunities as the market continues to rotate into and out of various stocks and sectors.

This week’s list has stocks that are part of many of the recent leading themes—Japan, housing, young software firms, 3D printing and medical. Our favorite of the week is Realogy Holdings (RLGY), an interesting way to play the housing upturn. We’re intrigued with the volume expansion in the stock, as well as the company’s huge earnings estimates going forward.

The market continues to act excellently, and we’re pleased to see more and more growth-oriented stocks flex their muscles, while many defensive sectors take a breather. Of course, part and parcel of that is that we’re seeing a little froth; investor sentiment is getting a bit giddy as some names explode higher. That doesn’t mean a top is imminent—our Market Monitor is solidly in the bullish camp—but it does mean you should be prepared for some news-driven potholes. Overall, you should be holding your best performers and putting more money to work at good entry points, but be sure not to get carried away after a good few months.

This week’s list has an impressive array of stocks that are showing extremely powerful accumulation. Our favorite of the week is SodaStream (SODA), which is very volatile but just broke out on earnings last week on very big volume.

Uni-Pixel (UNXL)	0.00	33-35	29-30

The title says it all—overall, the trend remains up for the major indexes and most stocks and sectors, and so our Market Monitor remains in bullish territory. But there’s also no question that the environment is whippy; big moves happen almost daily, and earnings season continues to bring a bunch of big moves in both directions. None of this is bad, per se, but it does mean you have to be more discerning with your buys and make sure your timing is right and your stops aren’t too tight.

This week’s list has yet another impressive crop of stocks with good stories and charts that have shown large recent buying power (usually on earnings). Our favorite is Yelp (YELP), a relatively recent IPO that has a great, sustainable story, rapid sales growth and a stock that just exploded higher on earnings.

Just as it appeared the sellers were taking control, the market bounced back in impressive fashion last week, and encouragingly, we saw more than a few growth stocks pop on earnings. Is it a major new buy signal for the market? We can’t go that far, at least not yet—plenty of stocks are still stuck in the mud, and the market remains volatile as earnings season continues. Even so, we’ve seen enough strength to move our Market Monitor back to the bullish camp, so you can look to extend your line as opportunities arise.
More important these days than the market’s daily gyrations is the consistent stream of enticing ideas being produced by our screens. This week’s list has another batch of high-potential names (with no defensive-type stocks at all). Our favorite being ARM Holdings (ARMH), which roared back to life after a two-month rest thanks to a great quarterly report.

With most major indexes still within 2% or 3% or their recent peaks, we can’t say the market is a horror show. But the evidence pointing toward a fatigued market continues to pile up, with last week’s waves of distribution (on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday) telling us sellers are gaining strength. We’re not predicting anything, but right now, making lots of money is very difficult; even the strong defensive sectors are choppy, and if you buy a stock at the wrong time, forget about it. Thus, we’re leaving our Market Monitor in neutral territory, and advise you to play things cautiously—keep positions small, keep your laggards on tight leashes and hold some cash.

Just as important, though, you should also keep your eyes open for a resumption of the uptrend. This week’s list has a few potential shooting stars, though there’s also a flavor of safety to some of the names. Our favorite of the week is First Solar (FSLR), which is dancing to its own drummer after a bullish near- and long-term earnings forecast a couple of weeks ago.

Santarus (SNTS)	0.00	17.5-18.5	15-16

The market isn’t in awful shape, but it’s not in as good shape as the major indexes would have you believe—the advance has been narrowing for a while now, and last week, as the Dow and S&P leapt to new highs, many stocks and sectors lagged behind. It’s not the end of the world and there’s nothing that says the market can’t chop around for a bit, get its act together and march higher; we’re certainly not advising you to sell everything. But given the evidence, and the fact that earnings season picks up this week, we think it’s best to keep our Market Monitor in neutral territory and see what comes.

Backing up that thought is this week’s list—there are a few very enticing ideas, but it’s not exactly chock-full of young whipper-snappers. Our favorite of the week is GameStop (GME), a stock that’s strong because of industry-specific factors that should boost earnings later this year.

The internal condition of the market began to weaken in mid-March, as defensive-type stocks and sectors led the way higher, while everything else stagnated or worse. And last week we saw some real selling pressures emerging; it’s not the end of the world, but it’s certainly a change in character for a market that’s been chugging relentlessly higher since the start of the year. We’re moving our Market Monitor to neutral and will be watching carefully—it’s possible this will be just another brief shakeout, with earnings season rescuing the bulls. But, as always, it’s best to go with the evidence, and right now, that means raising some cash, limiting new buying and building a watch list for when the bulls re-take control.

On the plus side, we’ve been pleased with the solid growth stories we’ve seen in our screens the past few weeks, despite the market. Our favorite this week is Fifth & Pacific (FNP), a turnaround and special situation play in the retail sector that’s set to ride one super-powerful brand.

It’s not often that we discuss currencies in the Cabot Turnaround Letter, but given the persistent relative strength of the U.S. dollar right now, I think it’s imperative that we address it—mainly because of how it will likely impact our portfolio holdings going forward.

The top haven asset for the first half of 2026 wasn’t gold, U.S. Treasury bonds or the Japanese yen.

After spending much of the year leading the market higher, small caps have finally run into a little turbulence. Through midday today, the S&P 600 Index is down 1.8% from last Thursday’s close, roughly in line with the S&P 500’s 1.9% decline.

That said, it’s important to keep the recent pullback in perspective. Small caps remain the market’s clear leader in 2026, with the S&P 600 up 20.2% year to date versus an 8.1% gain for the S&P 500.

While flashier, more star-studded teams like Lionel Messi’s Argentina, Kylian Mbappe’s France and Erling Haaland’s Norway garnered most of the headlines at the just-completed World Cup, Spain was the best team. There was nothing flashy about Spain: no mega-stars, not a ton of goals, no relentless attack. Instead, they dominated the tournament with precision passing, immaculate ball control and near-impenetrable (just one goal allowed all tournament!) defense.

High-flying AI-related stocks are facing a high bar of performance. Even what normally would be considered staggering growth is met with a yawn. The backdrop of the Middle East conflict and almost $100 oil is not helpful.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has outperformed the S&P 500 by 57% this year, even after a sharp correction. This is basically a macro trade, and there are few industries as cyclical, or as capital-intensive, as semiconductor manufacturing.

The market rolls sideways amidst a slew of conflicting forces.

The S&P 500 has bounced around and is at the same level it was in the middle of May. The primary culprit is technology. That sector has been in a funk. The S&P 500 is hard-pressed to generate any lasting traction while this massive sector, accounting for over 40% of the index, flounders.

The market has gone sideways since May. It seems to be deciding what to do.

It’s encouraging that the resumption of hostilities with Iran has not sent the market lower. It’s also positive that oil prices aren’t rising back to the $100 level earlier in the war, although prices have risen. It’s also another earnings season and analysts expect a big one.

With war being one of the most dominant themes of the last four years, it stands to reason that investors should position their portfolios to account for this conspicuous (and unwelcome) trend.

And lest one be tempted to think that the warfare theme will diminish anytime soon, last week’s article by NPR deflates that illusion: It revealed that global military conflicts are at their highest level since WWII.

Price targets are standard practice on Wall Street. But sometimes, they can act as an artificial ceiling.

For example, say Truist sets a price target on an up-and-coming growth stock that’s 25% higher than its current share price. For a growth stock, a 25% return isn’t much. But then again, the stock could be a total flop, which is the natural boom-or-bust tradeoff growth investors must endure in trading off increased risk for massive upside. So, a price target on a growth stock seems almost like an unnecessary cap on a stock that has the potential to go through the roof.

WHAT TO DO NOW: Continue to trim your sails. In the Model Portfolio, we’ve been getting closer and closer to shore as growth funds and indexes are under pressure and AI stocks cascade lower. Tonight we’re going to further trim Marvell (MRVL) given its ugly action, selling a third of what we have left. That will leave the portfolio with a big 58% cash position. We could put some of that to work if growth names find support, but we want to see key growth measures firm up before buying.

After a brief pause last week, small caps are once again leading the pack.

Through Wednesday’s close, the S&P 600 Small Cap Index is up roughly 21% year to date, compared to gains of about 15% for the S&P 400 MidCap Index, 17% for the Nasdaq and 11% for the S&P 500.

Its earnings season again! That’s a good thing. Earnings just might save the day in an otherwise confusing and uncertain market.

The market is causing whiplash. The Iran peace deal changed things. Stocks held back by high oil prices, and the resulting higher inflation and interest rates, reignited as oil prices came back down after the peace deal. But hostilities with Iran have resumed.

The peace deal may be on hold again. But stocks are hanging in there so far.

The ceasefire with Iran is over and hostilities have resumed. That sounds like a bigger bummer than it’s been in the market so far. Falling oil prices enabled previously beleaguered stocks to soar higher again as the prognosis for inflation and interest rates simultaneously improved. But that rally is over if oil prices spike higher again.
