Picks

Pick 1 : Micron Technology, Inc. - MU

Micron continues to stand out as one of the most compelling ways to gain exposure to the AI-driven semiconductor cycle. As demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced DRAM accelerates, Micron is positioned as a critical supplier to Nvidia, AMD, and other hyperscale players fueling the AI buildout. Industry supply remains disciplined, and ASPs (average selling prices) are firming, laying the foundation for strong margin expansion in FY25.

Despite its importance in AI infrastructure, MU trades at a reasonable ~17x forward earnings—still a discount relative to semiconductor peers like Nvidia and AMD. The stock has consolidated in recent weeks after a big run earlier in the year, creating an attractive entry point as it holds long-term trendline support. With a healthy balance sheet, improving free cash flow, and rising estimates, Micron offers one of the cleanest growth stories in semiconductors heading into 2025.

For investors seeking a core AI-linked holding with both earnings momentum and valuation support, MU stands out as a high-conviction pick this month.

Pick 2 : Adobe Inc. - ADBE

Adobe remains a misunderstood leader at the intersection of software and generative AI. While some investors have rotated into newer AI names, Adobe has quietly embedded generative AI tools across its Creative Cloud suite—tools that are already monetizing with users. Products like Firefly and the integration of AI into Photoshop and Premiere position Adobe as the go-to creative platform in the new AI era.

The stock, however, has been punished for slowing core growth and currently trades around ~20x forward earnings—well below software peers with less recurring revenue stability. Margins remain strong, free cash flow is robust, and the company’s subscription model provides predictable cash generation that can support buybacks and reinvestment.

Technically, ADBE appears to be stabilizing after a prolonged downtrend, showing early signs of a base near $340–$350. A breakout above $370 would confirm the start of a recovery leg. With AI adoption tailwinds and a still-dominant market position, Adobe offers investors an attractive blend of value, innovation, and upside optionality.

Pick 3 : Lantheus Holdings, Inc. - LNTH

Lantheus represents a contrarian healthcare play with high-risk, high-reward dynamics. Known for its diagnostics and radiopharmaceuticals, LNTH has faced a sharp selloff in 2025, cutting its market value in half from earlier peaks. Yet beneath the volatility, fundamentals remain supportive: demand for Pylarify, its prostate cancer imaging agent, is strong, and the company continues to expand its pipeline in targeted diagnostics.

What makes LNTH compelling now is the technical setup. Shares have begun stabilizing in the mid-$50s, suggesting selling exhaustion may be in place. At ~11x forward earnings, valuation is undemanding, especially given the double-digit revenue growth outlook for 2025. While risks remain elevated, the reward-to-risk ratio skews positive if LNTH can regain investor confidence and break above resistance in the $65–$70 range.

For investors willing to take a calculated contrarian position in a high-potential healthcare innovator, LNTH offers asymmetric upside at current levels.

Pick 4 (Short-Term) : SPDR Gold Shares ETF - GLD

Gold remains our tactical short-term overweight for September. With equity markets digesting mixed economic data, Fed policy uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions still in play, gold provides a defensive hedge with the potential for near-term upside. Institutional flows into bullion ETFs have been firming, and central banks remain consistent buyers—underpinning the bid for physical gold.

Technically, GLD has built a solid base near $190–$192 and is trading just below breakout levels around $195. A confirmed breakout would likely carry the ETF toward $200 in the near term. Unlike gold miners, GLD offers pure exposure to spot gold, making it an efficient vehicle for navigating September’s event-driven calendar.

In a market where volatility is quietly rising, GLD remains one of the clearest tactical trades—delivering protection, liquidity, and potential upside as investors rebalance portfolios into year-end.
