Don't Waste a Good Crisis
5 Strong Stocks that held up while the market tanked.

📰 In This Issue…
Last week, the market flushed out the weak hands in Tech. Good. While the "AI Tourists" were panic selling, the "Real Economy" stocks—Homebuilders and Infrastructure—were quietly thriving.
We are seeing a massive rotation into the companies that build the future (Data Centers, Power Grids, Homes) rather than just the ones that code it.
Inside this edition:
-
The Headliner: $PRIM ( ▲ 8.5% ) (Primoris)—The infrastructure giant breaking out of a 16-week base.
-
The AI Infrastructure Play: Why $APLD ( ▲ 25.52% ) and $WULF ( ▲ 19.88% ) are the "second chance" entries you've been waiting for.
-
🔒 Premium Only: The "Solar Reversal" ( $SEDG ( ▲ 7.93% ) , $NXT ( ▲ 6.06% ) ) and the massive "Construction Boom" basket ( $EME ( ▲ 6.5% ) , $CRS ( ▲ 4.72% ) ).
The flush is done. The builders are running.
🏆 Top Setup of the Day
$PRIM ( ▲ 8.5% ) – Long term trade
The Context: Primoris is a massive infrastructure contractor specializing in power, pipelines, and broadband. Crucially, they are a key builder of Data Centers and renewable energy projects. As AI demands more power and physical infrastructure, Primoris gets the contract.
The Setup:
-
The Pattern: A perfect 16-Week Base breakout.
-
The Entry: The stock broke out and is now testing the breakout level (a classic "check back").
-
Confirmation: We see a strong bounce off the 20-Day Moving Average right after the breakout. This is "Tennis Ball" action—hard down, fast up.
