Stock Picking with Fexingo: Individual Equities, Research, and Building a Concentrated Portfolio

Lucas and Luna dig into Alphabet's recent 3.5% weekly drop versus Microsoft's resilience and Amazon's steady climb. They examine Google Cloud's market share struggles, the competitive threat from Huawei's new chips, and what the diverging paths of the hyperscalers mean for investors. With specific numbers from the latest data, they debate whether Alphabet's AI narrative is cracking — or if the selloff is a buying opportunity. A focused look at one of the most consequential fault lines in big tech today.

When you think of Pfizer, you probably think of the COVID vaccine wild ride—a stock that surged, then cratered, then became an afterthought. But in this episode of Stock Picking with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the Pfizer that exists today: a company with a 5.9% dividend yield, a pipeline that's actually delivering, and a valuation that income investors can't ignore. They walk through the math behind the yield, the case for the oncology pipeline, and why the market might be pricing in too much pessimism. Plus, they contrast Pfizer's risk profile with a stock like Chevron or JPMorgan for investors building a concentrated portfolio. This isn't a call to buy—it's a framework for thinking about turnarounds through the lens of free cash flow and shareholder returns. If you're looking for one concrete idea to noodle on this week, this is it.

The S&P 500 hit 7,473 and small caps are surging, but Big Oil is splitting. Chevron is down 1.5 percent over the past five days while Exxon Mobil has dropped 3.5 percent — a 200-basis-point gap that's widening. Lucas and Luna dig into the structural reasons: Chevron's Permian efficiency versus Exxon's Guyana exposure and LNG overhang. They weigh the case for picking one over the other in a concentrated portfolio, using free-cash-flow yield and capital-allocation discipline as their lens. Plus: how the broader rally in value stocks (IWD up 1.6 percent in a week) is leaving energy behind, and what that means for sector rotation in late May 2026.

The Russell 2000 is up 3.4 percent in the past five trading days, nearly double the S&P 500's gain. Meanwhile, Apple and Tesla have rallied on separate stories, but most of the mega-cap tech names are flat or down. Lucas and Luna dig into the rotation: why small-cap value stocks are finally getting attention after years of underperformance, what the IWD and VTV ETFs are signaling, and whether this shift has legs or is just a 'sugar high' from the Fed's recent pivot. They examine a single case—a regional bank that's up 12 percent in two weeks—to make the broader point about earnings visibility and valuation discipline. If you've been wondering whether to look beyond the Magnificent Seven, this episode offers a specific framework.

Lucas and Luna take a closer look at Apple's recent 3.7% weekly gain, contrasting it with the broader tech sell-off and the AI hype cycle. They analyze how Apple's capital allocation strategy — massive buybacks, steady dividend growth, and a disciplined approach to AI spending — sets it apart from peers like NVDA and GOOGL. The hosts dig into the numbers: Apple's P/E compression, free cash flow yield, and the potential for multiple expansion as earnings growth stabilizes. They also discuss why value ETFs like IWD are outperforming, and what that signals about market rotation. This episode offers a concrete framework for evaluating mega-cap tech through a fundamental lens, not just the AI narrative.

The Russell 2000 just rallied 3.4 percent in five days while the NASDAQ barely budged. Lucas and Luna break down what's happening beneath the surface: value stocks like Bank of America and Apple are gaining while former high-flyers like Nvidia and Alphabet slip. They walk through the rotation from momentum to fundamentals, explain what the Russell divergence means for portfolio construction, and share a simple framework for spotting durable value in a market that's been trained to chase growth. Ep 7 of Stock Picking with Fexingo.

Lucas and Luna examine why Apple shares are up 3.7% in a week while NVIDIA drops 3.1%, arguing that the stock's recent strength reflects a return to fundamentals—steady services revenue, buybacks, and valuation discipline—rather than an AI hype premium. They discuss how the market may be repricing the 'AI winner' trade and what it means for portfolio construction.

On this episode of Stock Picking with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dissect Tesla's 4.2% weekly gain against a backdrop of declining mega-cap tech stocks. They examine whether the move is fueled by fundamentals, policy tailwinds, or pure momentum, and debate how a concentrated portfolio manager should weigh valuation against price action. Lucas walks through Tesla's current price-to-earnings ratio, the impact of Trump-Xi AI talks on sentiment, and the disconnect between Tesla's stock and its delivery numbers. Luna pushes back with questions about margin compression and competition from Chinese EV makers. The conversation lands on a key investing lesson: momentum can be rational even when valuations are stretched, but timing matters. This is a must-listen for investors trying to navigate a market where the S&P 500 is at 7,491 but individual stocks are diverging sharply.

Lucas and Luna dig into Bank of America's recent outperformance versus JPMorgan. BAC shares gained 3.5 percent over the past five days while JPM managed 1.7 percent. They explore what's driving the divergence—from regional deposit dynamics to trading revenue mix—and what it says about the broader banking landscape as of May 2026. Along the way, they touch on the S&P 500 sitting at 7,446 and the Dow at 50,286, and discuss whether the regional bank rally has legs. A focused look at two mega-banks through a stock-picker's lens.

In this episode of Stock Picking with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna debate concentrated versus diversified portfolios. Lucas makes the case for owning just 10-15 high-conviction names, using Berkshire Hathaway's concentrated insurance float allocation and the recent performance of Bank of America (+2.1% in a week) as examples. He argues that excessive diversification dilutes returns and that deep research on a few holdings beats shallow coverage of many. Luna pushes back with data on volatility and the risk of a single stock blow-up, citing recent swings in Nvidia. They discuss how to size positions, when to trim, and why the average investor might be better off with an index fund but the truly engaged stock picker can concentrate. The conversation lands on a practical framework: start with 20 names, then ruthlessly cull to your best ideas.
