5i Research Weekly Rockets and Duds
This week's 5i Research Rockets 
and Duds 
Circle Internet Group Inc. CRCL Ah, the glorious IPO. Retail shareholders dream of the day they get to buy shares in the hottest next thing. But alas, brokers usually reserve the hot stuff for their big clients. So individuals have to buy shares in the market, like regular smucks. And that's what they did last week, driving up the shares of the digital asset company 245% in a stunning debut and validation of 'stable coins' (don't make me explain this). With an IPO price of $31 and a closing weekly price of $107, me thinks the company left some money on the table here.

Planet Labs PBC PL Take a picture! The Earth image satellite company rose 52% last week as it released a 'stellar' quarter and noted that European demand for satellite data is higher now than it was at the outset of the Ukraine War. Shares are now up 177% in the past year.

Taseko Mines TKO TKO scored a TKO last week, with a 36% gain, after the mining company signed an agreement with the Tsilgot/in Nation and BC to resolve a conflict at its New Prosperity Project. The project holds 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold. KAPOW!

AST Space Mobile Inc. ASTS Who is going to emerge victorious in the Trump-Musk cage match? Who knows? Who cares? The real winner might be ASTS and other space companies. With Musk threatening to decommission its Dragon spacecraft, which is the only current option the US has for carrying crew to the International Space Station, other space companies surged as investors looked for alternatives. ASTS has a significant relationship with Blue Origin, you know, that other space company run by a billionaire (Jeff Bezos). ASTS stock surged higher by 35% as investors rubbed their hands with glee watching the Trump/Musk fight go into additional rounds.

PVH Corp. PVH What comes between me and my Calvins? Apparently, profit does. PVH fell 22% last week as it guided its earnings forecast dramatically lower, citing--you guessed it--tariffs! Consumer uncertainty also added to its 37% year-to-date decline. Shareholders may need to stretch out the life expectancy of those jeans to get over these losses.
