Imagine skipping out on Ring before its $1.2B buyout by Amazon

That’s exactly what happened to all the sharks, including Kevin O’Leary, missing a 66,756% return.

But right now, there’s a new smart home startup making their way to homes in America.

This tech startup is RYSE, and unlike Ring, you can still invest early—before it takes off.

Like how Ring disrupted home security, this company is revolutionizing smart blinds & shades—bringing automation to every home and business without the need for expensive replacements.

Shares are now available at $1.90 each in their newly launched funding round and you can earn up to 25% in bonus shares by getting in early.

TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Could This Little-Known Stock Re-Energize Your Portfolio?

A Light at the End of the Tunnel

It’s been a rough past few days for stocks, but Morgan Stanley $MS ( ▼ 3.08% ) thinks Talen Energy $TLN ( ▼ 2.62% ) has a bright future ahead of it.

The firm predicts significant gains for the little-known energy stock over the next few months, and initiated coverage at an Overweight rating. Its price target of $243 implies around 22% upside from current prices.

Analyst David Arcaro believes the company — which operates a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, along with a dozen more coal and gas facilities — will play a major role in powering AI, particularly through its partnership with Amazon $AMZN ( ▼ 4.29% ) .

Blowing in the Tailwinds

Talen is expected to expand its contract with Amazon. Arcaro believes that this alone could raise its stock price between $20 and $60. 

The analyst says the stock’s current valuation has not priced in the value that additional data center contracts might add, and suggests investors could capitalize on the underappreciation. 

Arcaro also thinks Talen’s fundamentals are improving, while demand is rising and the market backdrop is tightening. 

Strong Consensus

The stock has not been immune to the broader market’s recent downturn. TLN has fallen nearly 16% in the past month.

But analysts who cover the stock say it has nowhere to go but up. All 12 of them have given it either a Buy or Strong Buy rating, and its consensus price target reflects more than 30% potential upside.

In today’s uncertain economy, there are very few things the Street can agree on. But Talen is one of them — and that alone makes it worthy of a second glance.
