Circle (CRCL) is on a tear. The digital dollar infrastructure firm posted a 40% USDC (cryptocurrency stablecoin) growth target.
Circle is expecting revenue of up to $170 million this fiscal year. RLDC margin (revenue less distribution cost) is between 38% to 40%. The multiyear growth in USDC suggests that CRCL stock might revisit its June-July 2025 high of $140 - $298.99. Shares closed at below $84 last week.
In the printer and computer sector, HP Inc. (HPQ) shares show signs of stability. HP pointed to memory costs as a downside risk. Fortunately, HP may leverage its buying power to sustain PC sales.
The print market is healthy, where the long-term margin is 16% to 19%. Still, analysts are expecting a secular decline going into FY 2027. That suggests a fair value of a 6 times multiple for HPQ stock. Analysts at Morgan Stanley set a $16 price target.
Retailer TJX (TJX) impressed investors again after posting Q4 results on February 25. Revenue of $17.74 billion is up by 8.5% Y/Y. In fiscal 2027, comparable sales are in the range of 2% to 3%.
Investors who watch TJX stock might be lucky to wait for shares to dip. The stock has a history of bouncing back quickly after any brief sell-off.
Retail firms that trade at a premium include Walmart (WMT) and Costco (COST).
