$ABNB Airbnb is setting up for a major rebound. Despite a -2.84% dip today, analysts remain bullish on the travel giant, citing post-pandemic travel trends and platform expansion. Trading at $121.92, it’s well off its 52-week high of $165.50 and below all major moving averages (20, 50, and 200-day), indicating room for mean reversion. RSI at 52.88 shows no overbought pressure, and earnings remain strong at $4.11 EPS. Technically, it's in a sideways trend, but sentiment points up.

$ALB Albemarle, a key lithium play, sits near its 52-week low and trades at just $58.55, far from the $137.50 high. It’s a favorite of billionaire Michael Platt and offers contrarian value appeal with high volatility (beta 1.59). However, negative EPS and a persistent downtrend warn of potential headwinds before a true reversal. Traders with a higher risk appetite may find long-term value here, but patience is key.

$ANET Arista Networks posted a healthy +1.91% gain today, closing at $82.27. While not far from its 20-day MA, it’s still below the 50-day and 200-day averages. EPS of $2.23 and a bullish case for AI-driven infrastructure spending support upside. RSI is balanced at 58.44, indicating potential for further gains without technical resistance in the short term.

$COIN Coinbase is consolidating near the $200 level, and at $202.89, it’s still 40% below its 52-week high of $349.75. Earnings of $9.48 EPS and strong analyst confidence, including backing by Michael Platt, paint a bullish fundamental picture. While the beta is sky-high at 3.65, this is a momentum stock in a sideways trend that could quickly erupt with any favorable crypto market movement.

$CARR Carrier Global surprised today with a +2.84% move, closing at $62.54—just shy of the 50-day MA. Earnings season kicks off with expectations of solid HVAC and climate-control demand. RSI at 53.44 suggests there’s room to run, and forward-looking guidance will be crucial for validating upside potential.

$GEO This under-the-radar name is gaining steam. GEO Group sits at $31.28, up nearly 166% from its 52-week low, and with a 140 PE, the market is pricing in aggressive growth. Analysts continue to include this in high-upside portfolios, though risks remain elevated due to valuation stretch and market sensitivity.

$HON Honeywell is trading at $210.50, with UBS adding it to its top picks list. It’s trading just under its 200-day MA of $212.41, and with solid earnings and a PE of 24.18, Honeywell looks stable but ready for a breakout. RSI is healthy at 57.60, signaling technical strength without overextension.

$MRK Merck holds steady at $85.20, and Cliff Asness sees significant upside. With a PE of 12.40, low beta, and strong fundamentals, this pharma giant is underappreciated by the broader market. It's above all key MAs and could be a quiet outperformer in Q2.

$PYPL PayPal is still in rebuild mode, sitting at $65.84, down over 30% from its high. With $4.46 EPS and a low PE of 14.76, valuation is attractive. It's also a top pick for Cliff Asness. If sentiment turns even slightly more bullish on fintech, PayPal could rip higher quickly.

$RDDT Reddit just IPO’d and has had a wild ride since. At $116.57, it dropped -4.56% today, but analysts are eyeing high engagement, new ad tools, and monetization as major upside drivers. It’s volatile, yes, but it's also one of the most-watched new listings of the year. If you can handle the turbulence, this stock may fly in Q3.

$SHW Sherwin-Williams gained +1.38% today after a Wells Fargo upgrade. With a target of $420, the current price of $352.92 leaves over 21% upside. RSI is at 57.75, and technicals support further momentum. In a sideways market, this paint giant offers a splash of clarity.

Bottom Line:
While several names show solid upside, $COIN and $SHW stand out with the most attractive near-term opportunity. Coinbase benefits from macro tailwinds in crypto, while Sherwin-Williams has firm analyst backing and near-term catalysts. Both could lead the next leg higher—don’t let them run without you.
