The Hall of Famers (05-16-2025)

May 16, 2025

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.

It has all the big names and more.

It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.

The Hall of Famers is simple.

We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.

Here’s this week’s list:

Retail’s Red Flag 🩸

May 16, 2025

Walmart $WMT just delivered mixed results, and the market punished the stock.

Shares slipped -0.5% on the day, marking the second consecutive negative earnings reaction for the world’s largest retailer.

It’s not that the numbers were terrible. They weren’t. 

But the guidance was a huge disappointment. 

With revenue growth flattening and consumer trends appearing somewhat fragile, investors are clearly adopting a more cautious stance.

Additionally, the stock is exhibiting signs of exhaustion. It has carved out a potential multi-month distribution pattern.

Walmart’s still a bellwether for the U.S. consumer. 

However, if this stock starts to break down, it might be indicating more about the market than just the company.

So what else did we learn from yesterday's earnings reactions? Let's dive into the details.

Here are the latest earnings reports from the S&P 500 👇

May 16, 2025

Every day, we sift through the filings to spot where the real conviction lies — cutting through the noise to highlight the most meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌 Coupang $CPNG – Greenoaks Capital Partners bought $37.50 million in the ”Amazon of South Korea.”

It’s one of the biggest insider buys we’ve seen all year. Following the purchase, the firm now holds 55.2 million shares, representing about 3.66% of Coupang’s outstanding float among institutional holders.

Steve just wrote about CPNG this weekend. Check it out here.

📌 UnitedHealth Group $UNH – The CEO and CFO just stepped up with $30 million in combined stock purchases via Form 4s.

Junior Hall of Famers (05-15-2025)

May 15, 2025

From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.

However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.

Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.

This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe. Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

There is no need to overcomplicate things. Market cap is a quality filter at the end of the day. It only grows if price is rising. That's good enough for us.

The bottom line is it is a bull market. We...

This One’s Got the Juice 🚀

May 15, 2025

There weren’t any earnings reactions in the S&P 500 yesterday…

But let’s talk about something way more interesting.

Remember that monster move in NRG Energy $NRG the other day?

It was the stock's best earnings reaction ever, and it came from one of the largest “AI Utility” plays on the board.

But if NRG has the size...

Oklo $OKLO has the juice.

This stock recently surged over 1,000% in just a few months, and now it’s setting up for another rally.

Yesterday, the company reported a loss of $0.07 per share and zero revenue… and still had its best earnings reaction ever.

Why? Because the market doesn’t care about today.

It’s looking ahead to the moment this "AI Utility" company is fully online and helping power the AI Revolution.

Here's the OKLO setup 👇 

If OKLO is above the VWAP anchored to its all-time high (currently ~31.25), the breakout is alive and well.

Thank you for reading.

2 to 100 Club (05-14-2025)

May 14, 2025

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.

When you look at the stocks in our table, you'll notice we're only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online...
