What do you think about $INTC stock? Anyone else struggling to justify INTC at these levels?

My personal dashboard on $INTC right now.

I actually like Intel long term, but I genuinely don’t understand people aggressively buying after an almost 85% move in just 15 days.

The stock is already around $120, while most analyst targets are still sitting near the $80-$90. RSI is overheated, volatility is crazy high, and the company still has negative earnings and negative free cash flow.

Feels like the market is pricing in a perfect AI comeback before Intel has even fully proven it yet.

Maybe I’m wrong, and this thing keeps ripping higher, but entering here feels risky to me personally.

What’s everyone else doing with $INTC here?
Buying, holding, taking profits, or staying away?

▲ 9 r/RKLB

Is RKLB becoming the Tesla-style valuation of space stocks?

https://preview.redd.it/ykvn8rgl3h0h1.png?width=1725&format=png&auto=webp&s=17b82b8719429062be6634f891d8ff3981a12d42

RKLB is starting to remind me of how the market prices AI stocks right now. The growth is real, but so is the optimism.

Latest quarter:
• Revenue: $180M (+63.5% YoY, +16.1% QoQ)
• Gross margin: 38%
• EPS: -$0.09
• Net income: -$50M
• Free cash flow: -$110M

The company is clearly executing, and I genuinely think Rocket Lab has one of the best long-term stories in space/defense infrastructure.

But the valuation is wild.

Current stock price: ~$105
Blended fair value estimate: ~$56
Analyst consensus target: ~$98
DCF base case: ~$9 (basically unusable because cash flow is still heavily negative)

Are you still buying here or just holding and letting the story play out?

The market is basically valuing RKLB like future dominance is already guaranteed. At these levels it feels like investors are pricing in near-perfect execution for the next decade, successful Neutron ramp, strong defense growth, expanding margins, consistent launch cadence, everything.

Not saying RKLB is a bad company at all. I actually like the business a lot. I’m just struggling to understand how much upside is left when expectations already seem this high.

Investors who use DCFs, what inputs matter the most?

Need some honest feedback from DCF users.

I’m designing a valuation model for my app and trying to avoid the usual “everything is undervalued” type calculators. 😅

Current setup has:

  • different company types (stable, cyclical, growth, turnaround)
  • custom FCF logic based on business type
  • 10-year 3-stage growth projections
  • dynamic WACC
  • bear/base/bull scenarios
  • sensitivity tables
  • market implied growth

But I’m curious what assumptions people here spend the most time adjusting manually.

Growth rates?
Terminal growth?
Margins?
WACC?
Dilution?
Capital intensity?

Would genuinely help a lot while improving the model.

Trying to build a better DCF model, what should I focus on?

I’m building a DCF valuation model for my stock research platform and wanted some real investor feedback on it.

Current setup is something like:

  • company classification (stable, cyclical, high growth, turnaround etc.)
  • different FCF logic based on company type
  • 3-tier growth model (years 1-3, 4-7, 8-10)
  • dynamic WACC
  • bear/base/bull scenarios
  • market implied growth calculation
  • sensitivity analysis

But I’m still trying to figure out what people actually care about the most while using DCF models.

Like what metrics do you trust the most?
FCF growth? Revenue growth? Terminal growth? ROIC? Dilution? Margins?

And how do you assign weightage between bear/base/bull cases?

Would love to hear how you guys approach it instead of making another overly optimistic DCF calculator 😅

Before you buy a stock, drop the ticker here first.

I’ve been reviewing a lot of companies lately using the Tickzen analysis reports, and some of the numbers behind these stocks are way different from what social media hype makes them look like.

I’ll break down:

  • whether the stock looks overvalued or undervalued
  • key risks and weak spots
  • DCF valuation assumptions
  • sector and peer comparisons
  • support/resistance levels
  • RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands setup

Some setups are strong fundamentally, but still not good entries yet. Others already look priced for perfection.

Comment the ticker and I’ll share what stands out in the analysis.

Its a very interesting story, It all started with a YouTube video on March 28, 2023. When, I was in my second year of BTech, full of energy, zero experience. I built a blog. But the beginning was rough. I saw no real results. I kept experimenting, failing, learning, and trying again.

Over the next two years I made nearly 20 websites. General blogs, movie blogs, sports blogs, stock market content. Every launch felt like the one. Every one quietly died. And in all that time, I did not make a single dollar.

In January 2025 I started a small side project, Tickzen. It is an AI-powered stock research platform, and 4 different niche content automation, and again, to become successful in blogging😄. It felt like a hobby at first. Then it became an obsession. I was putting in 16 to 18 hours a day, learning everything from scratch.

In October 2025, I finally got placed in a company with a 6 LPA package, and I felt like things were finally settling. Due to some issues, I had to leave the company on December 13 after working there for only two months.

So I went back to Tickzen. Disappeared for three months. Stopped talking, started building. That little hobby project became a real product. I launched it officially on March 18.

On May 2, I got my first paid user. Around the same time, Tickzen crossed 1000 visits. And after three full years of failing at blogging, I finally crossed 1 dollar on AdSense, too, which honestly made me laugh more than anything😄.

I know the numbers are not something impressive. But, they represent three years of building things nobody used, learning things the hard way, and refusing to treat failure as a full stop.

It's a very interesting story. It all started on March 28, 2023, when I watched a YouTube video about blogging and Web Stories. I had just entered my second year of B.Tech, and I jumped into it with full passion. But the beginning was rough. I saw no real results. I kept experimenting, failing, learning, and trying again.

From that day, I created nearly 20 different websites, but none of them became successful. I started with general blogging, then tried movie blogs, sports blogs, and finally moved into the stock market niche because I felt there was strong potential there. Every time I launched a new site, I hoped it would work, but most of them eventually failed.

The funny part is that from March 28, 2023, until years later, I didn’t even earn 1 USD from blogging. Still, I never quit. I kept testing ideas, learning new skills, and searching for something that could actually work.

Then, in January 2025, I started a small side project, Tickzen, a stock analysis and stock content automation, almost as a hobby. Slowly, I became deeply interested in it. I learned everything from scratch and worked on it consistently for 16–18 hours a day. At the same time, another pressure was building because I was about to enter my final year and needed a job.

In October 2025, I finally got placed in a company with a 6 LPA package. I joined the company and thought life was getting stable. But another unexpected chapter started. Due to some issues, I had to leave the company on December 13 after working there for only two months.

Instead of giving up, I went back to the project I had started earlier. I disappeared for almost three more months, focused completely on building and shipping the product. I turned that small hobby project into a full production-ready platform and officially launched it on March 18.

Then came one of the happiest moments of my journey. On May 2, I got my first paid user. And after almost three years of trying, failing, rebuilding, and staying consistent, I finally crossed 1 USD from AdSense too 😂

It may sound like a very small achievement to others, but for me, it represents three years of persistence, failures, pressure, learning, and not giving up when nothing was working.

NBIS just did something that stopped me mid-scroll. The stock hit a fresh 52-week high of $179.40 on Monday, is up 96% year to date, and is up 641% in the past twelve months. Against the S&P's 27% over the same period. That kind of outperformance demands a serious look at what is actually happening behind it.

The catalyst driving this week's move is the $643M acquisition of Eigen AI, a model optimization and inference company. On the surface, that sounds exciting and it genuinely is strategically. Eigen's technology makes AI models run more efficiently on the same GPU hardware which means Nebius can squeeze more output from their existing clusters without buying more chips. For a company whose biggest risk is GPU supply constraints and capex intensity, that is exactly the right kind of acquisition to make.

But Analysts have a mean price target of $170.29. The stock is currently trading at $176.42. That means Wall Street as a consensus thinks the stock is already 3.5% overvalued right now, at this exact moment after a 14% single day rally. The highest target among all 14 analysts is $291 which leaves room, but the median target is $172. You are paying above what the professionals covering the company think it is worth today.

Revenue is growing at 546.9% year over year and hit $529.8M TTM, which is genuinely explosive for a company this size. Gross margins are a healthy 68.63%. Operating cash flow is positive at $384.8M. These are real business metrics, not vaporware. But free cash flow is negative $3.6B annually because they are spending aggressively on GPU clusters and infrastructure buildout. They have $3.75B in cash against $4.97B in debt and the Altman Z-Score just dropped to 2.39 which puts them in the grey zone, one step above financial distress territory.

The insider activity is the thing I keep coming back to. In the last three months insiders sold 9 times and bought zero times. Every single discretionary transaction was a sell. Bunina Elena alone sold four times between $140 and $161. These are the people sitting in the building who knew the Eigen acquisition was coming and they were reducing exposure into prices lower than where the stock trades today.

Technically, the setup is stretched. RSI at 68.9 approaching overbought, MACD just turned negative even as price hit a new high, and the stock is pressing right against the upper Bollinger Band at $178.92. That divergence between price making a new high and MACD rolling over is a classic momentum warning sign. The options market is pricing a 23.7% move either direction by June 5th which tells you the smart money expects a big swing to come.

The earnings date is May 13. That is eight days away. If they deliver another quarter of 50%+ sequential revenue growth the short sellers covering 19.89% of the float are going to get squeezed hard and this thing goes for the $200+ level. If they disappoint or give cautious guidance after a $643M acquisition, the reversal from $179 back to $155 support happens fast.
