🧠 The One That Got Away

Comfort Systems USA (FIX 0.00%↑) soared more than 18% after earnings Thursday evening—one day after it appeared in our Top Names list.

We didn’t take the trade yesterday, but FIX’s move is a timely reminder of why we pay attention to Portfolio Armor’s top ten names. They tend to be where strength concentrates before catalysts hit.

This also highlights an important evolution in our process. We’ve added a new prioritization rubric for our daily Top Ten:

  • Theme fit (Reindustrialization, Energy, Embodied AI, Biotech)

  • Options liquidity and pricing quality

  • Chart structure and timing versus earnings

  • Prior win rate and re-entry opportunity

It’s a small refinement — but it means we’ll miss fewer “FIX moments” going forward.

Today, we have trades on three of our highest-scoring names on that updated rubric, two of which are repeat winners for us. One sits at the heart of America expanding its energy and industrial base, and the other is a software platform with durable fundamentals and renewed technical momentum, and a third produces fully-autonomous drone systems and AI-powered vision platforms supporting mission-critical infrastructure and defense. It fits squarely into our Embodied AI theme.

Details below.
