Episode 88 of Growth Stocks with Fexingo: Tech Companies, High-Growth Picks, and Long-Term Holdings. Lucas and Luna break down the surprising parallel rallies in Palantir and CrowdStrike, two growth stocks that have often been compared but rarely move in lockstep. Over the past five trading days into July 3, 2026, Palantir is up 14.5 percent and CrowdStrike is up 10.7 percent. The hosts explore the common thread: both are benefiting from a surge in demand for AI-driven cybersecurity and operational analytics, but for different reasons. Lucas points to Palantir's expanding commercial AIP contracts and CrowdStrike's new Falcon AI modules, while Luna questions whether the rallies are sustainable given valuation multiples. With the IWF growth ETF up 1.8 percent and ARKK up 4 percent, these two stocks are massively outperforming. The episode offers a nuanced take on whether this is a sector rotation or a fundamental shift. No ads, listener-supported.

Episode 86 of Growth Stocks with Fexingo examines why Datadog and CrowdStrike are outperforming mega-cap tech in the latest rally. Lucas and Luna break down the five-day performance data — Datadog up 19.7%, CrowdStrike up 13.9% — and explore what these companies have in common: high revenue visibility, expanding profit margins, and exposure to mission-critical enterprise spending. They contrast these names with NVIDIA, which is nearly flat, and discuss why the market is rewarding software and cybersecurity over AI hardware for now. Specific metrics include Datadog's 25% year-over-year revenue growth, CrowdStrike's 60% non-GAAP operating margin, and the broader rotation from AI hype to execution. The episode also touches on the recent Dan Ives departure from Wedbush and what it signals about sell-side tech coverage. No clickbait — just a clear, data-driven look at what's working in growth stocks.

It's July 1, 2026, and growth stocks are suddenly hot again. The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) is up over 4% in the last five days, and the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) has surged nearly 7%. But beneath the surface, a fascinating divergence is emerging: Datadog is up nearly 20% in a week while NVIDIA barely budges. Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers to understand what's really driving this rally. They examine the 'Magnificent 7' struggles and the rotation into high-quality growth names like Shopify, CrowdStrike, and Cloudflare. Is this a new bull leg or a bear market bounce? They also discuss how the Fed's latest signals are being interpreted by the market, and why Dan Ives' departure from Wedbush might matter. The conversation is grounded in specific stock performance and macro context, offering actionable insights for growth investors navigating the current environment.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine why Datadog and Shopify are surging while Palantir and Apple lag. With Datadog up 16.9% in the past five days and Shopify flat but resilient, they explore the shift toward revenue visibility and profitability in growth stocks. They discuss how the market is rewarding companies with clear repeatable revenue streams, known as net dollar retention, and penalizing those with lumpy government contracts or slowing consumer hardware sales. Using Datadog's 110%+ net dollar retention and Shopify's merchant solution revenue mix, they explain the new quality filter driving stock divergence. They also touch on Tesla's 12% rally as a counterexample of momentum betting on future products. The episode provides a concrete framework for evaluating growth stocks in a rate-sensitive environment.

Episode 83 of Growth Stocks with Fexingo examines the dramatic divergence in cloud infrastructure stocks in late June 2026. While Datadog jumps 16.9% and Cloudflare 9.8% in the week ending June 30, Palantir manages only 2.8%. Lucas and Luna unpack why the market is rewarding companies with clear infrastructure revenue and punishing those tied to government contracts and narrative-driven growth. They discuss how Cleveland Fed President Hammack's comments on AI fueling inflation could reshape the growth stock landscape, and why the rotation into software-as-a-service infrastructure may have legs. Specific numbers and stock moves ground the conversation, with a focus on what this means for long-term growth investors building portfolios in a rising rate environment.

In this episode of Growth Stocks with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine a clear rotation happening in growth stocks as of late June 2026: investors are rewarding companies with proven profitability while punishing those still relying on future promise. Using fresh data, they highlight how CrowdStrike, Shopify, Cloudflare, and Datadog have surged 6-13% in the past five days, while Apple, Microsoft, and Palantir have lagged or fallen. The hosts trace this shift to the end of the 'story stock' era and the rise of a quality filter favoring strong free cash flow and durable revenue visibility. They also discuss what this means for holders of unprofitable growth names and how to position for the second half of the year.

Lucas and Luna explore a sharp divergence in the growth stock universe as of late June 2026. While mega-cap tech like Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla get hammered, cloud infrastructure names like Shopify, Cloudflare, and Datadog are surging 8% in a week.

They discuss how a potential Kashkari rate hike is accelerating this quality filter, and what it means for portfolio construction. Specific data points: Shopify up 8.2%, Cloudflare up 8.6%, Datadog up 8.3% versus NVIDIA down 7.7%, Tesla down 6.3%, Apple down 4.5%.

As of June 28, 2026, the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) is down 2.2% over five days, while the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) has fallen 3.5%. Yet within these broad benchmarks, a handful of names—Shopify up 8.2%, CrowdStrike up 3.8%, Cloudflare up 8.6%, Datadog up 8.3%—are sharply outperforming both the index and mega-cap laggards like Apple down 4.5% and NVIDIA down 7.7%. Lucas and Luna unpack the growing divergence: why high-revenue-visibility cloud stocks are commanding premium multiples while hardware-dependent AI plays and consumer electronics names are getting punished. They dig into the Kashkari rate-hike signal, the rotation from mega-cap growth to quality growth, and how the 'grow at any cost' era is giving way to a regime where revenue quality—recurring, predictable, and high-margin—is the only thing the market is rewarding. A must-listen for growth investors trying to navigate the split.
