In this video, I have five stocks for
you to buy right now for August 2026
that I have done countless hours of
research on. And the one that I have
sitting at number one just became, in my
opinion, the cheapest way to own the
entire AI boom, especially given how
much the AI stocks have recently pulled
back. While everybody is staring at the
wrong names, I'm looking at where the
opportunities are. My name is Henry. I
spent years on Wall Street. I worked for
Goldman Sachs. And this video is
educational purposes only. I'm not a
financial adviser. So, I pulled the five
names, the five stocks, did a lot of
research, and something genuinely
changed in the last few weeks that I see
an opportunity within each one of these
stocks. Let's not waste any time. I'm
going from five to one on conviction and
position size for me. Starting off with
number five, which is Netflix. As you
can see on the screen, this stock got
absolutely punished after earnings. As
of Friday close, you can see just how
devastating this stock has taken a
crash. There's a very fresh story in the
list that I had to add. A year ago, this
was an untouchable stock. Like a golden
child. It was trading for around 63
times earnings, which honestly in
hindsight seems like way too much. And
as of right now, it's down 45% from that
high, near $70 per share at about
something like 21 times forward
earnings. So, the price nearly got cut
in half and the nosebleleed valuation
came all the way down to just normal
levels. Now, here's what actually
happened on Friday. Because from the
reaction, you think it was a
catastrophe. Revenue was up 13% to about
12.5 billion. Margins were north 33% and
guidance for the next quarter came in
just a touch light and the biggest issue
was the forward guidance coming in at
just light actually really upset
investors because now it's very clear
that Netflix is not growing
internationally as much as investors had
hoped they would. And that is the whole
crime right there because expectations
are completely different from what
actually happened. Even though the
business had a growth of 13%, the
guidance was way too soft. And 13% is
not enough in comparison to what they
used to grow at. Now, the biggest reason
I'm excited comes down to one number.
The market is completely glossing over
and it's the advertising business.
Netflix ad tier now reaches more than
250 million people every single month.
And ad revenue is on track to roughly
double to about 3 billions this year.
And that's exactly why Netflix isn't
really reporting all the numbers that
they used to. I was looking into their
watch time and their watch time per user
has gone down significantly from 2 and a
half hours per day. Now it's 1.7 hours
per day. But the reason that they're not
actually including how much money they
make per subscriber right now is because
it's getting very tricky. They're now
starting to make a lot of money from ad
revenue. So it's more difficult to
track. Think about what ad revenue
really is. is it's one of the highest
profit margin businesses of all because
you're showing ads and essentially
everything that you make is practically
pure profit. Now, the skeptics, they're
starting to flip the side of things.
They're looking at subscriber growth and
they see that it's cooling and I
genuinely think that is a really big
issue for Netflix. However, another
piece of the story that I'm seeing on
the flip side is that advertising
revenue is now becoming a booming
business for them. So while many
investors are staring at the subscriber
line which yes Netflix has gone to 300
million users and it has not really
grown that much that quickly as they
have scaling up until 300 million users.
So it's basically like a logarithm.
They've grown really fast and now it's
pretty much really slow for them. So the
bull case for me is that simply this
stock has pulled back enough to where it
is now attractive and that's why it's
fifth on my list. The ad tier has to
keep compounding at 30 plus% per year
for the stock to become very attractive
and to come back to h 100 plus dollars
per share again. I think that's
possible. But we also need to understand
how the competition is playing out right
now because people get this flat wrong.
Everybody thinks that Netflix rival is
Disney. It's really not. It's actually
the platform that we're on right now.
It's YouTube. That's who Netflix is
actually fighting. They're fighting with
YouTube. And now YouTube viewers watch
more YouTube per day than Netflix users
watch Netflix. If you only write down a
few numbers on Netflix make it these
revenue growing 13% operating margin
around 33% roughly $325 million
subscribers 250 million plus people on
ad tier that is the part that I'm most
bullish on. Ad revenue nearly $3 billion
in doubling in four PE ratio around 21.
So cheap. It's basically in line with
S&P 500 and now just trading alongside
with Google and Amazon and with all the
other MAG7 stocks and I actually think
now it's fairly valued. So I think in
2027 this stock could be $100 per share
if they continue to execute on their ad
tiers. All right, let's go to the number
four stock. This one is Uber. It's
cheap, it's hated, and a lot of people
are wrong about robo taxis. So Uber it's
here for the exact reason that Netflix
is here. Netflix was loved and it
finally became very cheap after a
massive sell-off. Uber is really cheap
right now as well and it's pretty hated.
As you can see, this is the year-to-ate
return on Uber stock right now. The
thing it's hated for is a fear I think
is wildly overblown. This is the most
misunderstood stock from the entire
list. So, let me give you the business
first because it's a lot stronger than
the stock price is telling you. Last
quarter, gross bookings, that's a total
dollar value flowing through the
platform, was up 25% to almost $54
billion. It threw off literally about
$2.3 billion in free cash flow in a
single quarter, and it bought back $3
billion of its own stock in that same
quarter. Now, buying back your own stock
is essentially financial engineering.
I've discussed it multiple times on this
channel, but when a company buys back
its own stock, that creates more
scarcity for the market and actually
drives the value of their shares higher
because there's less shares outstanding.
That's a very important strategy,
especially for a stock that's not really
being loved by investors. Essentially,
the company saying, "We love our own
stock. We're going to come in and buy
our own shares with the cash that we
have available." So, what on earth is
everyone really afraid of with Uber? And
that is robo taxis. That's the whole
bare case in a single word. The fear is
that self-driving cars like Whimo, Tesla
just cut Uber out of the middle entirely
and they run their own apps. Now, late
June when Whimo and Uber ended their
Phoenix partnership in Whimo pulled its
cars back onto its own app, investors
had to double take. The bears took that
and they sprinted. They're basically
saying, "See, self-driving guys, this is
not going to go as directly to Uber's
cash flow as most investors are
believing it is." But here's what I
think the market is missing and the
biggest reason to be excited. Uber isn't
just sitting still. It's turning itself
into a neural network for everybody's
self-driving cars, committing something
like $10 billion across partners with
Lucid and Rivian to build out its own
robo taxi fleet. And here's the part
that bears keep forgetting. Even a
Whimo, even a Tesla needs one thing Uber
already owns, which is demand. Demand is
the most important part. I talked about
this many times with SoFi, with
Palunteer, that these companies that
have made it to these big valuations
have done so through demand. For
example, Palanteer has done so through
being partnered with the government and
having many government contracts. SoFi
has become a giant company despite
having so much competition from
traditional banks because they have
excellent marketing. Every company needs
a competitive advantage and Uber has a
massive one which is they already have
current demand. 199 million people
opening one app out of pure habit every
single day. So a robo taxi sitting empty
on a parking lot makes nobody a dime.
But Uber can fill that seat the second
the car is free. Then there's the piece
that nobody's really pricing in at all.
And it's around the same theme that we
just heard from Netflix. A hidden
advertising business already running
past a $2 billion revenue rate and a
very fat margin. So here is a long-term
bullcase as I personally see it. So
nobody wins self-driving upright. The
market stays very fragmented as many
other industries are very similar to
that and Uber becomes a demand and fleet
operating layer that every robo taxi
company plugs into stacking high margin
advertising and membership money on top
while cheaper self-driving rides
actually grow the whole market. For that
to work Uber's multi-partner network has
to fill course faster and cheaper than
Whimo where Tesla can scale alone. And
the ads in Uber 1 have to keep
compounding that rate. Right now, my
opinion is that Uber is 25% undervalued.
I also made a video not that long ago of
Nancy Pelosi actually buying call
options on Uber. They were leap options
going out into 2027. So, I think Nancy
might know something that we don't know.
You know what I mean? Anyways, let's get
into the third stock, which is Amazon.
And has earned it spot because one
single number just broke a trend that's
been hanging over the stock for years.
For as long as I can remember, the
detractor for Amazon was that AWS, the
cloud division, the real profit engine
of the whole entire company, was really
slowing down. Every quarter, a little
more acceleration. Last quarter, AWS
grew 28%. That is the fastest growth in
about 15 quarters. And it didn't just
stop slowing down, it actually
reacelerated. As you can see on the
screen right now, this is the growth of
AWS as a business. Now, total revenue is
up 17% to about $181 billion. operating
margin at around 13%. And guys, I
discussed Amazon before. Literally 5
years ago, Amazon had a profit margin of
5% and now it is 13. So, Amazon is
quickly becoming a more profitable and
efficient business. A lot of this is due
to AWS. AWS and advertising are Amazon's
two most profitable businesses by a long
shot, and they're both growing faster
than the low margin retail side of the
business. The ad business alone did $17
billion in a single quarter, up 24%. And
the biggest reason that Amazon is
succeeding so much in advertising is
because people come to Amazon every
single day looking for products. And the
businesses on Amazon are looking to make
money or willing to spend a lot of money
on ads to get their products in front of
the right customers. In terms of
competition, Amazon is fighting a war on
every single fronts. Unfortunately for
them, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud in
the cloud business, Walmart in retail,
Google in Meta in advertising, and
Nvidia on the chip side. Yes, Amazon's
also in the chip business. So, what does
Amazon do better than all those giants?
Really, the answer is breath and
integration. Nobody else on the planet
spins the number one cloud, the number
one US e-commerce operation, a top three
ad platform, custom silicone, and the
best logistic networks on Earth, all
under one single roof. all feeding into
each other. This is actually what I'm
very bullish on Amazon because they have
the entire ecosystem. All right, let's
get to the number two stock which is
Palanteer growing at 85% while this
stock is actually still falling.
Palanteer being as low as $108 per share
this year was absolutely wild. I had
told you guys on this channel if you're
subscribed, you've been watching my
videos that Palanteer was very
undervalued. Now, the stock has
recovered, but I still think there's a
lot more room to go. So, Palanteer might
be the single most fascinating stock in
the entire market right now because two
completely contradictory things are true
at the same time. The business is
accelerating very hard and the stock has
literally been falling to 52- week lows
not that long ago within the last 30
days. So, your whole job as an investor
is to figure out which one of those is
the market wrong on. Okay, let me hit
the business numbers first and then you
can make your own kind of conclusions
from there because for a company this
size, they're honestly a little
ridiculous. Last quarter, revenue grew
85%. Literally 85%. That's the fastest
growth in the company's entire history,
and it's actually speeding up, not
slowing down. Their US commercial
business, meaning American companies
buying AI software, grew up 133%. They
put up something called a rule of 40
score of 145. And a quick context on
that is the rule of 40 says that a
software company's growth rate plus its
profit margin should clear 40% to be
considered great. So 145 is a different
galaxy entirely. They're also doing all
of this while being gap profitable and
generating over $900 million in free
cash flow in a single quarter. That's
the biggest reason that believers are
excited with this company. It is growth
in profitability at the same time, which
is very rare to find and is of course
the reason why Palier has such a high PE
ratio. On the screen right now, you can
see the PE ratio, which is not cheap.
However, a PE ratio doesn't tell us the
full story because it doesn't really
account for growth. Palanter actually
trades something like 38 times forward
sales and around 85 times forward
earnings. As you can see, the forward
numbers continue to drop rapidly. And
the reason why they're dropping so much
is because earnings can go up a lot
faster than revenue can go up. So, the
PE ratio can drop very dramatically even
within a single year. I think one of the
bigger issues with the stock is not
really the growth. A lot of people
understand that Palanteer is growing.
They have a very sticky business and
they have very good relationship with
the government as well as even the
commercial sector. One thing that bears
are really sticking to is the stockbased
compensation. The bears are screaming
this for years and this is a significant
issue for Paliter. It dropped to about
12% revenue and it's actually down 20%.
So those numbers are getting better. In
plain terms, the company is finally
growing into its dilution instead of
driving in it. So here's my personal
take. The business is accelerating 5%
growth at real scale while the stock is
still falling. And at just 30 plus%
through 2028, I think this year's
selloff is going to look like a gift in
the rear view mirror. For me, Palenc is
a $170 stock in the first quarter of
2027 in my opinion. Now, let's get over
into the first stock. All right, guys.
The first stock is Meta. And this is my
favorite stock on the list for stocks
that I'm buying in August. You can see
Meta is currently trading for $640 per
share. Over the last month, the stock is
up 13.8%.
I really love Meta because it has
significantly found a lot of momentum on
the upside. And I think that's really
for good reason because look, in the
last kind of quarter here as of March
31st, you can see how much Meta is
really growing their revenue at $56
billion. This is literally like an
advertising machine that just continues
to grow at a very rapid pace. And the
EPS has went from 2025 numbers in 2026
up 62%. So when we talk about the PE
ratio coming down, the biggest
contributor to PE ratio coming down is
literally EPS because the E and the PE
ratio is earnings. So when earnings goes
up this much, this is exactly what takes
the PE ratio down and makes a company
become a deep value stock. And I think
that MET is just super undervalued right
now. Look, the company's revenue grew
33%. But you can see how much of a
multiple that has down to the EPS. The
EPS 62%. Very staggering difference
there. All right now, Meta's market gap
$1.6 trillion. I really see Meta at $2
trillion plus in Q1 of 2027. You know
what I'm bullish on specifically? I'm
bullish on attention. I think Meta is
going to crush with attention because
right now it's literally the new oil is
to get people to pay attention so you
can sell them products and services.
That's what social media is all about.
And Facebook is literally printing ad
dollars from advertisers because
advertisers don't really have anywhere
else to go. There's Google, there's
Meta, and Amazon's not even going to be
counted because Amazon is going for
products rather than services and
coaching and snapshots there. They have
a younger audience, but really Meta
Google top two. That's why Meta is
actually my top pick for the poor man's
covered call strategy right now. And I
plan to buy some meta leap option at
$600, which will be in the money. And
then I'm going to be selling $700 strike
price covered call options here on a
monthly or every two to three month
basis. So there's the five stocks.
Netflix, Uber, Amazon, Palanteer, and
Meta. The names that I believe are
urgent buys for August 2026. And you
probably caught on to what I like most
about each of them. It's actually the
advertising businesses of each. And the
market refuses to actually pay attention
to the advertising business or really to
value it as part of the company. So, if
