  • Emerson Electric Company (EMR) is up 12.50% since October 13th, 2025, driven primarily by renewed analyst optimism and strong underlying fundamentals in the industrial automation sector. The key catalyst was UBS's January 5, 2026, upgrade from Neutral to Buy with a significantly higher $168 price target, highlighting that temporary software business challenges were masking robust demand trends and paving the way for accelerated earnings growth, including a potential return to double-digit annual profit increases beyond 2026. This upgrade sparked a sharp intraday surge (up over 5% that day) and sustained momentum, bolstered by broader tailwinds like multi-year capital expenditure in infrastructure, electrification, energy management, and automation, along with Emerson's solid execution on margin expansion, free cash flow, and shareholder returns following its fiscal 2025 results. Additional positive analyst actions (e.g., Barclays raising its target) and improving technical indicators further supported the steady climb amid favorable macro trends in industrial spending.
  • GE Aerospace (GE) is up 16.86% since August 12th, 2025, stems primarily from explosive demand for power generation and grid infrastructure driven by surging electricity needs from AI data centers, hyperscalers, and broader electrification trends. The major catalyst was GE Vernova's December 9, 2025, Investor Update, where the company dramatically raised its multi-year outlook: forecasting $41–$42B in 2026 revenue (up significantly), $52B by 2028 with 20% adjusted EBITDA margins (from prior $45B and 14%), cumulative free cash flow of $22B+ through 2028 (up from $14B+), and expectations to nearly double its total backlog to ~$200B by 2028. It highlighted massive gas turbine momentum, with 18 GW of contracts signed in Q4 2025 alone and an anticipated 80 GW backlog (including slot reservations) by year-end, stretching into 2029, plus plans to ramp production to 20 GW annualized by mid-2026 and 24 GW by 2028. The company also doubled its quarterly dividend to $0.50 per share and boosted its share repurchase authorization to $10B from $6B, enhancing shareholder appeal. These bullish announcements triggered sharp rallies (e.g., +15–16% on December 10), followed by additional analyst upgrades and price target hikes (e.g., from Baird, Jefferies, Barclays, and others raising targets into the $800+ range, with some as high as $1,000), reflecting confidence in GE Vernova's positioning as a key beneficiary of the AI-driven power boom despite recent pullbacks from concerns like potential overcapacity and competition. Overall, the rise underscores robust execution amid unprecedented energy demand tailwinds.
  • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Inc (TSM) is up 41.53% since July 14th, 2025, driven by robust AI-related growth and prompted upward revisions to full-year guidance, followed by an even stronger Q3 October 2025 report where revenue jumped ~41% year-over-year to a record $33.1 billion, profit surged 39%, and the company raised its 2025 revenue outlook to the mid-30% range (from ~30%) due to faster-than-expected AI accelerator demand from key clients like Nvidia. This momentum continued with consistently strong monthly revenues (e.g., record annual sales of NT$3.81 trillion for 2025, up 31.6% YoY), sustained high-performance computing (including AI) contributing over 50-60% of sales, capacity tightness in advanced nodes (3nm/5nm/2nm), and analyst upgrades (e.g., Goldman Sachs raising targets significantly on AI-driven capacity constraints through 2027). Broader tailwinds include massive AI infrastructure spending projections (trillions in data center capex), TSMC's pricing power, margin resilience near 50-60%, aggressive fab expansions (including in the US), and structural rather than cyclical AI growth, defying bubble concerns and positioning TSM for continued multi-year upside amid hyperscaler and tech giant investments. The stock's performance reflects growing market confidence in TSMC's irreplaceable role in the AI megatrend, with shares hitting multiple record highs in late 2025 and early 2026.

Is January a Predictable Month?


I Know First's Combined Long/Short Strategy, a tier-2 institutional service using their AI self-learning algorithm, delivered an impressive 566.30% cumulative return from January 1, 2020, to April 8, 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 by 514.08% over the same multi-year period (with strong Sharpe ratio of 1.42 and Sortino ratio of 2.04 for risk-adjusted performance). The strategy allocates across GICS Level 1 and Level 2 ETFs, top predictable stocks, and broad market exposure (e.g., SPY/OEF) with monthly rebalancing, focusing on the most promising bullish sectors/industries and predictable names based on the algorithm's signal and predictability filters, while incorporating long/short elements for balanced, market-neutral exposure with downside protection.
  • Portfolio Construction: 60% to the top 3 Level 1 sector ETFs, 10% to the top 2 Level 2 industry ETFs, 20% to the 5 most predictable individual stocks, and 10% to SPY or OEF based on overall signal strength.
  • Historical Outperformance: Achieved 566.30% total return (vs. S&P 500's much lower gain), demonstrating the AI algorithm's ability to capture non-linear market patterns through neural networks, genetic algorithms, and daily model refinement without human bias.
  • Risk Metrics: Delivered a high Sharpe ratio of 1.42 (return per unit of total risk) and Sortino ratio of 2.04 (return per unit of downside risk), indicating strong performance relative to volatility and drawdowns.
  • Recent Context (2025 Update): In the December 2025 update, the Combined Long/Short Strategy posted 27.2% YTD returns (outperforming S&P 500 by 9.5 points and major hedge funds), showing continued strength in a market-neutral format amid AI-driven trends.
This combined long/short approach highlights the enduring effectiveness of I Know First's empirical, self-adapting AI algorithm in generating superior, risk-managed returns for institutional investors across extended periods, even as more recent 2025 results reinforce its competitive edge over traditional benchmarks.

Weekly Apple Stock Update

Apple's stock outlook heading into 2026 reflects a cautious yet potentially rewarding strategy across AI, supply chain stability, and regulatory challenges. The company is adopting a restrained approach to AI spending amid signs of a market bubble, preserving over $130 billion in cash for possible acquisitions while preparing a major Siri overhaul—likely powered by Google's Gemini—to enhance conversational capabilities and multi-step tasks, leveraging its integrated iPhone ecosystem as a key advantage over competitors. On tariffs, Apple secured an 18-month reprieve keeping Chinese semiconductor import rates at zero percent until mid-2027, avoiding immediate cost increases for critical components despite ongoing reliance on Chinese suppliers. Meanwhile, Apple is appealing a £1.5 billion UK fine over allegedly excessive App Store commissions of up to 30%, arguing the fees support platform safety and privacy for 36 million users, with consumer payouts at stake if the appeal fails. Overall, these developments position Apple to capitalize on prudence in AI while navigating trade and antitrust risks.
