OP Wire 2/20 (OP – Lite)

By Steve

Here’s what’s moving the markets today. We’ll be posting today’s upgrades, downgrades, and other key info in the chat as they come in, so stay tuned!

Walmart Drops as Sales Outlook Disappoints

Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is taking a hit this morning, down over 8% premarket after providing a fiscal 2026 sales outlook that came in below expectations. This signals that the retail giant may be feeling the strain of consumer spending pressures as inflationary optimism fades. For OP traders, this confirms why we’ve been scalping WMT gains and stacking them into a LEAP put position—playing out exactly as planned.

Alibaba Surges on Strong Revenue

Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) is up more than 9% premarket after reporting a better-than-expected Q3 revenue. This is a win for those who followed our BABA call entry at $80—another first-quarter OP plan paying off!

Carvana Slides on Unclear Outlook

Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) is dropping this morning, with analysts expressing concerns over a lack of clarity on its 2025 outlook, despite strong Q4 returns.

Other Movers:

Birkenstock (NYSE: BIRK) fell after keeping its annual margin forecast unchanged despite solid holiday-season sales.
Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) slipped on news that CEO Alex Karp adopted a new stock trading plan, plus reports of an 8% annual defense budget cut for the Pentagon.
Grab (NASDAQ: GRAB) tumbled over 8% after issuing a full-year revenue forecast that missed expectations.
Vimeo (NASDAQ: VMEO) fell sharply after its 2025 adjusted core income guidance missed estimates, with an announced $30 million investment in business expansion.

Tesla Under Pressure, But Wedbush Remains Bullish

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has faced early 2025 headwinds, but Wedbush analysts are standing firm with an Outperformrating and a $550 price target. While some are focused on Elon Musk’s involvement with Dogecoin (DOGE) and politics, Wedbush sees Tesla’s real value in autonomous driving and robotics.

Key upcoming catalysts:

Tesla’s new mass-market vehicle launch in 1H25
Major developments in autonomous/Optimus tech
Unsupervised FSD launch in Austin this June

Wedbush acknowledges potential brand risks from Musk’s political ties but believes Tesla is still on track for long-term success. Their bold claim? Tesla is worth $2 trillion—even without factoring in Optimus.
