Rocket Lab Hits Price Target After Dilution Update

News regarding $10K Portfolio names:

Amazon (AMZN)

On Wednesday, analyst Mark Mahaney of Evercore ISI reiterated a buy rating on ($AMZN) without setting a target price. Mahaney is rated at five stars out of five at TipRanks. Over the past two years, he has a 51% success rate, but with an average return of 23.6%.

On Wednesday, analyst Ken Gawrelski of Wells Fargo reiterated a buy rating on AMZN, while cutting his target price from $313 to $312. Gawrelski is rated at one star out of five at TipRanks. Over the past two years, he has a 45% success rate, but with an average return of -1.8%.

On Wednesday, analyst Dylan Carden of William Blair reiterated a buy rating on AMZN without setting a target price. Carden is rated at one star out of five at TipRanks. Over the past two years, he has a 40% success rate, but with an average return of -1.6%.

On Thursday morning, analyst Justin Post of Bank of America reiterated a buy rating on AMZN along with his $310 target price. Post is rated at five stars out of five at TipRanks. Over the past two years, he has a 64% success rate, but with an average return of 30.9%.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR)

Rocket Lab (RKLB)

On Wednesday evening, news broke. On May 20, Rocket Lab ($RKLB) entered into an equity distribution agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and other bankers as sales agents. Under the agreement, the company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of the company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, through or to the sales agents, having an aggregate offering price of up to $3 billion.

Yes, folks, the shares are trading lower due to a potential dilution event. I saw on Wednesday that RKLB hit the portfolio’s target price but thought that I could wait for morning. Hence, the price of inaction. I know better.

Upcoming Portfolio Earnings

Planet Labs ($PL): After the closing bell on Thursday, June 4th

Wednesday’s Intentions vs Wednesday’s Actual Trades

Intention: Sell 25 shares of ($MBLY) at or close to $9.66, closing the position

Thursday’s Intentions

Ocular Therapeutix ($OCUL) has fallen out of bed of late with no new news. The portfolio is going to try to make the position work for us by selling a covered call against the stake. Options in this name are illiquid. Hence, this is an order where the price is limited. Do not enter a market order. Your order would be executed poorly.

Intention: Buy another 50 shares of OCUL at or close to the last sale of $8.14 to make the long position an even 200 shares.

Intention: Sell (write) one OCUL July 17 $9 call at $0.75 or better
