Good morning Wake-up Watchlisters! While you’re sipping coffee you’ll see stock futures were little changed on Thursday. Concerns about potential interest rate hikes by major central banks kept government bond yields near recent highs. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower on Wednesday, primarily due to rising U.S. bond yields following a surprise interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada. Analysts believe the Fed will likely pause in June but remain open to a potential rate hike in July, depending on economic data.

As the peak rally from AI in May continues to die down, now’s a good time to focus on value stocks that can withstand market headwinds. Right now our Head Fundamental Tactician Karim Rahemtulla is pounding the table on what he’s calling “The Last Great Value Stock.” This company has already seen a 71% rise since the start of 2023, and there’s reason to believe it still has a lot of room to grow.

Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.

Gamestop (NYSE: GME)

Gamestop is down 18.61% premarket, marking its worst session in two years. This decline was triggered by the unexpected departure of a CEO who was specifically chosen to lead the company’s online expansion, raising concerns about the struggling state of the videogame retailer’s business. Ryan Cohen, the founder of Chewy and a favorite among “meme stock” traders, assumed the position of executive chairman, but no new CEO was named to replace the former Amazon.com executive, Matt Furlong. With limited investor communication, a lack of consistent strategic vision, and no earnings call, analysts find it challenging to form a firm opinion on the situation. One notable observation is the frequent turnover in GameStop’s leadership, with five CEOs and three CFOs in the past five years.

Despite a grim market in May, we went gangbusters in The War Room. 35 of our 39 trades were in the green, highlighted by a 293.27% gain on Advanced Auto Parts in one trading day. We had a weighted average return of 24.43% and 113% average gain overall.

Semtech (Nasdaq: SMTC)

Semtech is up 23.45% premarket after reporting an unexpected adjusted profit.

Artificial intelligence has been all the rage, but the truth is that technology will take time to really implement. Until then, it’s best to focus on tools being used to research those applications, like semiconductor companies.
