I Just Bought A NEW Stock... My Plan for June...

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]2026 has been off to a roller coaster start and we've had a pullback due to the geopolitical conflict in February.

[00:00:07]We've also had a massive rally in terms of AI names in general and largely the portfolio has benefited. Currently, the portfolio is up over 30% year to date.

[00:00:17]And in this video, I want to be walking you through five stocks that I'm buying in June of 2026, plus a bonus honorable mention at the end. Now, I want to flag a few things before we get started. One of these names is a company that I have literally never talked about a single time on this channel before, and I'm going to be talking about it in this video for the first time ever. And I'm also going to be sharing with you what exactly I'm doing with each of these positions, how I'm planning to approach this. This is a new video series. If you do enjoy it, please let me know in the comments below. Without further ado, let's jump right into it. Before I get into this list, I want to flag something about this video that makes it different from the typical five stocks videos to buy out there on YouTube. Most of these names are stocks that I already own.

[00:01:02]This is not a fresh shopping spree where I'm trying to look smart by picking five random companies that I just discovered in the past week. This is me leaning into my highest conviction positions by putting fresh capital to work in names that I already deeply understand with one exception that I'll flag when I get there, which is me starting a brand new research position. And really, I've talked about this in previous podcasts that I am focused on concentration right now. I would rather own a smaller number of concentrated names rather than spray and prey across 30 different tickers and hope that something works. And largely that's worked well over the course of this year. And even smaller positions like Air Test Systems for example was a 4x in four months. And that's something that I didn't really lean into because I didn't understand that well and it wasn't a core conviction of mine and it still did very well. Something else that was a core conviction was for example Nebius. So it's really about concentration. That's the lens of today's video. Adding to your winners, leaning into high conviction lagards and the process by which I'm researching new tickers with a new name that I talked about. So quick disclaimer here. Nothing in this video is financial advice.

[00:02:08]Please do your own homework. This is just what I'm doing with my portfolio.

[00:02:11]And of course, if you do enjoy this series, then let me know in the comments because I'm happy to do this series every single month, walking you through what I'm doing for that given month.

[00:02:19]Starting off at stock number one, first and foremost, this is my largest position and I'm adding to it even further. It's of course Nebus. My original 12-month price target for Nebus was $200. That got hit back in May. My updated model has the low end at $350 as a 12 month price target. And I think it's very defensible. I think we can actually get much higher than that. What changed for Nebus? Why am I adding this high when my average for the stock is about $80? Well, really the Q1 print on May 13th was an absolute blowout quarter. Revenue went from 51 million to almost 400 million sequentially. They swung to profitability. The stock popped 15% on a single day. and they followed it up with multiple other catalysts. The AI gen acquisition which helps move Nebus up the stack into inference and model optimization. Um they also talked about this Bloom Energy deal which I covered in just my previous video that I posted a few days ago up to $2.6 billion for 250 megawatts of guaranteed power.

[00:03:17]So they're solving the energy bottleneck right there in real time before it really becomes a problem. Concentrated backlog is now approaching 50 billion.

[00:03:25]They have a $27 billion meta deal. a $19.4 billion Microsoft commitment, a $2 billion strategic investment from Nvidia. Analysts are raising their price target. We just saw City raised their price target to $287, up from 169. My 350 price target at the low end is not really a stretch when you look at the trajectory. And so what I'm doing in June is I'm going to be adding shares on pullbacks, but I'm really running here an option strategy. I'm selling cash secured puts one month out for the premium. Between these cash secured puts, I'm looking at about a 20 to 25 delta and the time frame is about a month or maybe about five or six weeks. And to counterbalance that, I'm also running a strangle. So, I'm selling covered calls at a high price and I'm selling cash secured puts at a lower price so that you can create a range for Nebius where it can trade into. And just mathematically speaking, because they're on the same expiration date, both ends of the range cannot get hit at the same time. So you will profit guaranteed on one of them. I mean ideally the stock stays rangebound within that range for the month. But even if you are at risk then you can still have a lot to show for it. Now one risk to flag for Nebius is of course their valuation. DA Davidson downgraded them to neutral on the back of their valuation. They're trading at a similar valuation to Coreeave. The stock is up over 100% year to date. Position sizing here I think matters. I'm not backing up the truck on Nebas at alltime highs. It's 40% of my total portfolio. Most of that is gains.

[00:04:54]And if my covered calls get hit, I will let them get hit. I have covered calls for June 5th and for June 12th, and I'm also writing more covered calls for the end of June. But really, if it's about locking profits, I'm happy to also do that on Nebus while also selling cash secured puts. So really, with regards to Nebus here, it is mostly about running the wheel on this position. Okay, stock number two on the list is of course SoFi. I mean, you guys know I love this name and I've been adding leaps on the weaknesses. So, I started adding leaps a few weeks ago, but really the stock is down over 40% year to date. It's sitting in the $156 range and I'm doing what I always do when I see a high conviction name sell off, which is I'm leaning in fully. And I think the second half is really set up for success for SoFi. I think Notto on the Basis Points podcast recently was the most energized I've seen him in a long time. You could really feel the conviction when a CEO is coming out and is buying $2 million worth of shares in a month and on top of that saying publicly on a podcast that he himself is looking at leaps so as to optimize his purchases further. That is conviction that you have to start paying attention to and that's exactly what I'm doing here is I also want to add to LEAPS. The leaps that I'm looking for are June 2028 LEAPS around $15 a share and around $18 a share. Those are the exact same strike prices that I'm looking to add on. Big business banking will launch in June. SoFi Plus here is showing real traction post relaunch.

[00:06:20]160,000 paying subscribers in just 6 weeks. Uh you have the loan platform business that's ramping up. Crypto is coming online. All of the investments that they're making with regards to the acquisitions that they had in the first half of the year are going to start to convert into actual business lines in the second half of the year and also into the start of 2027. Q1 was strong.

[00:06:39]revenue up 43% record numbers of members record number of revenue. I mean the business is working even though the stock is kind of broken 18 straight quarters of rule of 40 and really I think that interview with not is the big big catalyst here and I also think that in the second half of the year there is a chance that we will get one rate cut.

[00:06:58]Of course they're pricing in zero rate cuts right now. So is one of the most rate sensitive names in my entire portfolio. They don't need cuts to work, but cuts are an accelerant to the stock catching a bit. I think SoFi has largely bottomed. I mean, Anthony himself on basis point said that a lot of the risks are priced in at this price point. There are risks. I mean, truest cut their price target. Missou cut their price target. The tech platform was really weak in Q1, down 27%. If loan growth disappoints in a tougher macro environment, then really I think SoFi stays rangebound. I don't think they're going to be valued at a premium. But really right now, I have a sale of cash secured puts on SoFi for June 18th at $16 a share. I posted this publicly on X and I have leaps positions for June of 2028 at $15 and at $18. And we're going to see what I add to going forward, but I definitely want to add to SoFi in June with leaps. Stock number three on the list is Amazon. So, quick context here.

[00:07:55]I have my January 2028 spreads on. I bought the 230s. I sold the 280s. So $50 is the distance essentially of that spread for January 2028. Of course, Amazon when I did this trade was in the low 200s. Now Amazon is in the high 200s. Um my shares in the Wheeling portfolio got called away from me. So I lost those shares. And instead of Chase, what I'm going to do is I'm going to take that capital and I'm going to go ahead and sell cash secured puts and try to re-enter at better prices, likely around 245 to 240 if those get hit. I think the AI thesis here is very much intact. In Q1, AWS grew 28% uh record operating margins. Their best quarter of growth since 2021. AWS AI revenue run rate is above $15 billion. Cloud backlog from Anthropic OpenAI and Meta is $364 billion. Now, Amazon was hurt because of the capex story mostly around AI infrastructure and data centers. I think the underrated piece about Amazon here is Trrenium. So, Tradium 3 is reportedly four times faster than the previous generation. This is one lever that AWS will use to win on inference costs, which is where I think the next phase of AI is really going to be fought.

[00:09:09]Meanwhile, the other side of the business is funding the AI buildup. So, I think the sum of the parts type of valuation really works here. AWS alone deserves a big chunk of the current market cap. And then you have ads, you have retail, you have the optionality on tranium, you have all of their other smaller segments like zuks and and rufus and all that stuff basically baked in for free. So for June, what I'm doing with regards to Amazon is I'm selling cash secured puts around 245 to 240 for the end of June, collecting that premium, and if the stock reaches that, I'm happy to take ownership of my Amazon shares that got called away. But again, I do own a core position around five to six% of my portfolio purely in Amazon spreads for 2028, which I'm happy to hold as the time value will keep decaying on those. Now, one risk to flag with regards to Amazon is the capex compresses near-term free cash flow. And ultimately, if AWS keeps decelerating below AER for the next couple of quarters, the multiple is also going to compress along with it. And then there's also like tariffs and lawsuits and all of these macro pieces that are overhangs to watch out for. Now, stock number four, and this is the new one that I just added yesterday. This is Noia. And if you're asking yourself, wait a minute, what year is it? I also asked myself the same thing. I've never talked about this on this channel before. I want to be really transparent about how I'm approaching this one. This is really an invest then investigate type of trade. It's a small initial purchase, fresh capital, and then I do some real work and I decide if this is a trade or if this is something that I want to build out as a longerterm position. Uh not every position has to be a 5% allocation from day one. This is really, really, really small. Uh but here, I really like the setup. Uh so, first you have an Nvidia stake. They own about 166 million shares as part of their strategic partnership. So, Nvidia is really backing them. Second, you have the AI numbers inflecting. So they had 49% growth year-over-year in terms of their AI and cloud customers in Q126, which is about 8% of their group sales.

[00:11:05]They booked over a billion euros in orders from AI and cloud customers. In a single quarter, they launched an AI networking innovation lab. And you're seeing this pivot from legacy hardware to AI infrastructure in real time. And that's I think what's leading the stock to get a rerating. The analyst community is finally catching up. Uh you see analysts upgrading all over the place.

[00:11:25]JP Morgan more than doubled their price target. Morgan Stanley named it a top pick for the year and really the capex expectations from hyperscalers just amplified the bullcase even more. The other aspect here is really the edge computing thesis. So as AI inference moves closer and closer to the user, the entire networking layer matters more and Nokia sits at the intersection of optical IP and mobile infrastructure.

[00:11:49]They have a seat at the table that I think the market right now is discounting. But I mean, it's catching up very quickly because the stock went from like $2 in 2024 to $16. And that's part of what I don't love is this runup.

[00:12:00]It feels like you're buying the top. The market cap is already around $92 billion. It's not like this is an unknown small cap company that's 2 or three billion with a massive asymmetric upside. It's largely a rerating story.

[00:12:13]It's not a discovery story, right? And I think the meaningful gains may already be in, which is leading me to believe that this might be a trade for me as opposed to a long-term conviction hold.

[00:12:22]What I'm doing with my position is, you know, I bought 400 shares. I'm writing covered calls against them to harvest premium. I think the premiums are very juicy on this one. As I continue to do my research, if the thesis holds up, I'm going to continue to scale in and roll out. Uh if it doesn't, then I just let my calls expire in the money, take the capped upside, and then walk away with some profit. Technically speaking, I think the chart looks primed for another leg higher. Ultimately, I think the rerating story has to hold up for that to happen. Q2 earnings for this company is at the end of July and that I think is going to be a major test. So, I actively want to research this throughout June, potentially add some more. And one risk to flag here is of course the telco industry. It's a mature industry at its core. I mean, North American demand and broader telecom capex are still driving a chunk of the business. Analysts are raising price targets, but like Barclays, for example, kept an underweight rating on the valuation. And so I think the AI infrastructure reframing is real, but I don't know to what extent that will drive this company higher sustainably.

[00:13:21]At some point, you have to think about the execution risk that's baked into a company like this. So anyways, all that to say, it's something that I'm looking into. I've already taken a position. I plan to add a little bit more to that position, but I'm selling covered calls against that. Stock number five is, of course, Robin Hood. I'm rotating some profits from Air Test Systems into potentially doubling my Robin Hood conviction. And in my portfolio, this is a rotation play. Robin Hood is a very small percentage of my portfolio. It's about 1% of my portfolio. The plan in June is just to rotate booked profits from Air Test Systems into Robin Hood.

[00:13:53]Quick context on Air Test Systems. It was a 4x in 4 months. I got my initial batch of shares called away. I already have covered calls that are already underwater for my next batch of shares.

[00:14:02]So, I think that by the middle of Juneish, I'm probably going to be out of Air Test Systems. And really, Air Test Systems was opportunistic. I was riding on Roy's conviction for the most part.

[00:14:12]It was something that I was researching, but ultimately I want to also check my exposure to the AI trade in general since my exposure really blew up after uh Nebus increased and I also have exposure through Amazon spreads and also through Meta. Why Robin Hood? Well, look, the stock is down about 52% from their $150 highs. They're currently sitting around $74 a share. Uh they missed the headline numbers in Q126. The stock dropped 13% in a single session.

[00:14:38]Uh the issue here was really crypto revenue weakness. But the thing is that crypto is only 19% of their revenue, but the market treated it like it was a entirely crypto- dependent story. I think the catalyst that people are not pricing incorrectly is the SEC eliminated the pattern day trader rule back on April 14th. That takes effect on June 4th and roughly 25% of Hood's funded accounts were under the old $25,000 minimum threshold. So that rule has essentially restricted active day trading for retail since 2001 and it's gone now all of a sudden. None of that volume impact has been seen on any reported number yet. And on top of that when you layer the WonderFi acquisition that was just approved in Canada and is closing soon. You see prediction markets that are closing fast. Trump accounts for kids is going vertical. Gold subscribers are up 58% year-over-year.

[00:15:27]They're developing a blockchain for US assets trading in Europe. I I really think we're going to go much higher from here. Robin Hood is one of those companies that keeps executing on a consistent basis. The risk the flag for this one is of course if crypto keeps going down, transaction revenue stays under pressure. The pattern day trading rule benefit might be smaller maybe as the bullcase suggests. Um regulatory risk maybe on payment for orderflow is always like a threat in the background.

[00:15:54]But I think largely Robin Hood has a world-class product team and uh and that product is going to continue to expand from here and as it does the stock is going to follow. So with regards to honorable mention I want to have Micron.

[00:16:06]Now I talked about Micron last week on the podcast Roy and I said look I really want to buy Micron. That's interesting.

[00:16:12]I tweeted about it last week. I think the memory shortage is structural. Um, Micron, even though it's run a lot, is still very reasonably priced all things considered, which sounds crazy. But any meaningful AIwide pullback, you know, I would pull the trigger on Micron. The only problem is, as I was preparing the script for this video, Micron was up like 20% yesterday. Uh, so it seems to have completely run away. I do still think Micron is going to be, you know, over 12 or $1,300 in very short order.

[00:16:40]If you look at Micron, it's taken them like seven or eight sessions to go from 300 to 900, which is staggering. Um, they've done it in a couple of weeks, but after the latest runup, it's not something that I'm going to be actively adding to, so I just put it in the honorable mentions. So, that's essentially the list. You have SoFi, you have Nebus, you have Amazon, you have Hood, and you have Noia, uh, which is a brand new research position. And Micron is something that's on the watch list right now, but it just completely ran away from me. And this is really a story right now in June around concentration.

[00:17:09]I'd rather get a few stocks right than overly diversify into 30 plus names and have no context on what's going on with any of them because I mean I can't keep up with all of them. I'd love to hear from you in the comments. You know, what are you buying in June? Are you going to be concentrating or diversifying? Are you going to be increasing or decreasing your cash position? If you did get value from this, then drop a like. Please let me know if I should continue this series into future months. If you like videos like this or if you think I should stick with the core analysis videos, I really appreciate. And if you're new to the channel, consider subscribing for more and sharing this video. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
