The Stock I'm Closest to Buying Right Now

Couch Investor•Aug 23, 2026

Summary

Couch Investor argues that the portfolio's year-to-date performance of 39% remains strong despite a recent 6% weekly decline. Couch Investor states that the upcoming earnings week is pivotal, particularly for Nvidia and cybersecurity firms like Crowdstrike and Rubric. Couch Investor focuses on the massive growth potential in the AI sector while noting that many of these leaders are not as expensive as market sentiment suggests.

Nvidia (NVDA): Couch Investor states that Nvidia is not an expensive stock with a forward PE of 21.4x and expected year-over-year growth of 100%. Couch Investor highlights that AI server prices are expected to rise by over 15% due to DRAM costs from suppliers like Micron and Samsung. Couch Investor also notes a strategic $6 billion investment in Poolside to build an open-weight AI ecosystem.
Meta (META): Couch Investor argues that Meta is significantly undervalued and remains a top pick if trading under $600 per share. Couch Investor believes the risks associated with ongoing trials are outweighed by the reward potential of the underlying business. Couch Investor notes that recent price drops to the $550 level are sentiment-driven rather than fundamental.
SoFi (SOFI): Couch Investor observes that SoFi has finally reclaimed critical momentum, closing above $18 and $19 for two consecutive weeks. Couch Investor identifies the $20 to $21 range as the next major target for the stock to sustain its upward trajectory. Couch Investor is optimistic that the changing sentiment in the crypto market is providing a tailwind for the company.
Rubric (RBRK): Couch Investor reports owning Rubric and expects the company to beat revenue expectations of $400 million, representing 40% growth. Couch Investor recently trimmed the position but remains bullish on the long-term momentum of this cybersecurity player. Couch Investor emphasizes that Rubric must maintain aggressive growth to justify its $20 billion market capitalization.
Iren (IREN): Couch Investor explains that Iren is in a transitional phase shifting from Bitcoin mining to AI cloud revenue. Couch Investor states that the market expects $140 million in revenue, and the company must demonstrate progress toward its Annual Recurring Revenue targets to regain investor trust. Couch Investor notes that Nvidia's results will likely impact Iren's stock movement.

Regarding other technical levels, Couch Investor identifies $70 as a critical floor for Rocket Lab (RKLB) and $244-$245 as a key support area for Amazon (AMZN).
