The market continues to push toward new ATH and today it looks ready to recover from last Friday’s sharp drop following Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on China.

While many investors keep chasing momentum, I’ve stayed calm and rotated my portfolio toward what I see as real value.

My focus has been on companies that are deeply undervalued yet essential to people’s daily lives, some to balance.

Here’s a glimpse of my current positions:

Pepsi $PEP (+1.97%) Cintas $CTAS (+0.65%) Bristol Myers ($BMY (+0.36%) ), TMF, Intuitive Surgical ($ISRG (+0.05%) ), General Mills $GIS (+0.47%) , Lululemon ($LULU (-0.21%) ), Campbell Soup (CPB), iShares MSCI India (INDA), American Water Works $AWK Airbnb (ABNB), and Novo Nordisk $NVO (-1.71%)

This rotation has kept my portfolio on a steady growth plateau — not chasing short-term rallies, but positioning for sustainable performance in the months ahead.

I’m focusing on strong fundamentals, stability, and pricing power in an environment where volatility and political headlines can change the mood overnight.

$LULU (-0.21%) was bound for a pullback after the -20% drop. I bought the dip and 15 minutes later locked in a neat +5%.

Quick moves, quick profits. 🚀📈

Analysts: “It’s going to get worse

With $LULU (-0.21%) guiding EPS ~$13:

• P/E 15x → $195

• P/E 18x → $234

👉 Fair value shifts to ~$190–230 (down from $270–300).

At ~$170, market is pricing in risk that $13 EPS may not be the floor.

Not financial advice ⚠️

Market priced $14–15 EPS for $LULU (-0.21%) , but mgmt now guides ~$13.

At ~$170 → P/E ≈ 13x.

Confirms the slowdown (US softness + China tariffs).

The old “discount” case ($270–300 fair value) no longer holds with new EPS base.
