The Big Short is going long on Substack.

Famed short-seller Michael Burry just launched a paid-subscriber group chat. It, predictably, did not go well. Within minutes, thousands of investors flooded it with memes, market takes, and panicked pleas for Burry to turn off thread creation.

For a man best known for calling bubbles, he may have just made his own.

Safe & Green Development Corp. (NASDAQ: SGD) has quietly become one of Wall Street’s most intriguing microcap stories — a company under $5 a share, with a market cap below $10 million, and a business model built for the next trillion-dollar sustainability boom.

Once a modular real estate innovator, SGD has transformed into a full-fledged environmental solutions powerhouse. Through its acquisition of Resource Group US Holdings LLC, the company now converts organic waste into high-value, sustainable soil and mulch products — including its proprietary SURGRO™ substrate that could disrupt the $30 billion horticultural and green infrastructure markets.

With global regulations phasing out peat and synthetic materials, SGD’s low-carbon technology hits right at the heart of an accelerating demand for clean, compliant alternatives.

Backed by visionary leadership, a $9 million growth capital raise, and the complete elimination of convertible debt, SGD is now debt-free, well-capitalized, and positioned for rapid expansion.

As Wall Street continues chasing overpriced ESG giants, SGD represents the kind of undiscovered green gem that early investors dream about — lean, focused, and ready to scale.

Discover why Safe & Green Development Corp. (NASDAQ: SGD) could be one of the most undervalued sustainability plays of 2026 — and how it’s transforming waste into shareholder wealth.

December has been one of the strongest months for US stocks. Data from the Stock Trader’s Almanac shows it ranks as the third-best month for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq across decades of history.

But even with broad seasonal strength, some stocks have a track record of delivering far better-than-average December gains. These stocks have historically outperformed the market in the final month of the year and shown consistent seasonal strength.

And while past performance is no guarantee of future results, we’ve deemed them worth noting as 2025 nears its end. Among the standouts: Broadcom $AVGO ( ▲ 1.36% ), Estee Lauder $EL ( ▲ 0.77% ), and Eli Lilly $LLY ( ▼ 2.61% ).

Broadcom has already rallied sharply this year, surging more than 70% amid strong semiconductor demand and renewed momentum around AI infrastructure. But history suggests it could potentially close the year with another leg higher.

Broadcom has averaged a double-digit gain in December over the past decade, making it one of the season’s most reliable performers.

Analysts agree. Its consensus rating is a Buy, and recent commentary from Goldman Sachs $GS ( ▲ 1.23% ) points to building momentum ahead of the company’s next earnings report, due Dec. 11. Amalgamate price targets imply modest upside, but it wouldn’t be the first time the chipmaker outpaced those estimates.

Estee Lauder also makes the list of seasonal winners. The beauty stock has averaged nearly 5% returns during the month. Wall Street is more divided, with a minority of analysts rating the stock a Buy. Nevertheless, its average price target suggests more room to climb.

Eli Lilly, for its part, recently crossed the trillion-dollar mark, becoming the first healthcare company to do so. December has historically been another solid month for the stock, with average gains above 4%. Consensus targets imply mild downside, but with momentum on its side, Lilly’s seasonal trend is worth noting.

Seasons change, and so do trends. But as December approaches, these long-term patterns could offer useful context for investors heading into the final stretch of the year.

It has been a big year for utilities, largely driven by AI demand. But one company has been outpaced by the pack.

Dominion Energy $D ( ▲ 0.37% ) has spent years lagging the broader utilities sector. The stock has fallen more than 20% over the past five years, even as the Utilities Select Sector SPDR posted solid gains. It’s in the green for 2025, but not enough to catch up with the S&P 500’s YTD gain.

Yet analysts see a different story taking shape beneath the surface. Dominion is investing in long-term projects that could drive years of steady growth. According to Barron’s, its valuation reflects little of that progress.

Two initiatives stand out. The company is building new plants to power data centers across Virginia and the Carolinas, a growing opportunity as AI demand drives massive electricity needs.

Dominion is also pushing ahead with its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. Management says construction is 66% complete.

Barron’s believes these investments position the utility for a rate-based expansion that could lift earnings through the end of the decade.

Political headlines have clouded the offshore wind sector, but the publication argues the risk is overstated. Courts have already rejected attempts to halt multiple wind projects, strengthening the case that Dominion’s project will move forward. Even if the remaining portion were never built, the earnings impact would be limited.

But the bigger earnings engine may be the growing rate base. Dominion expects to invest another $1.5 billion in the wind project, supporting a climb from roughly $65 billion this year to about $71 billion next year. FactSet models suggest earnings can grow around 6% annually, in line with management’s long-term forecast.

The company’s data-center buildout could add even more. Virginia has the highest concentration of data centers in the US. As cloud and AI workloads expand, analysts expect higher power demand to support stronger EPS growth than the broader utilities sector.

Dominion trades at a discount to both its peers and its historical valuation. Analysts say even moderate earnings acceleration could justify a higher multiple. For income-seeking investors looking for stability with a catalyst, Dominion may be ready to plug back in.

And, for just one more day, an unbeatable entry point.

Don’t you wish you’d bought GME in December 2020?

Alphabet $GOOGL ( ▲ 0.07% ) just delivered one of the strongest 12-month stretches in Big Tech.

The stock has surged as investors reassessed its position in the AI race and the legal overhang surrounding its antitrust case eased.

Months after a federal judge labeled Google a monopolist, the final penalties arrived softer than feared. At the same time, AI worries flipped into AI momentum, thanks to four straight earnings beats and the launch of Gemini 3.

Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B ( ▲ 0.51% ) recently bought in. Barron’s believes there’s still time for new investors to buy in as well.

Shares now trade around 26x earnings. That’s higher than last year, but still well below most of the Magnificent Seven. Only Meta $META ( ▲ 2.26% ) sports a cheaper multiple. The combination of rising profits and a reasonable valuation has analysts arguing that Alphabet’s run may not be over.

Alphabet’s recent performance stands out among its peers. Meta has doubled its capital spending while seeing margins slip. Alphabet boosted capital spending as well, but it still grew pretax profit and expanded margins in the third quarter.

Earnings expectations keep drifting upward. Wall Street now models 2025 earnings well above last year’s estimates, and analysts think 2026 could come in meaningfully higher if cloud and AI trends hold. The business could scale from roughly $57 billion in 2025 revenue to more than $75 billion in 2026.

Elsewhere, hyperscaler demand continues to rise, too. Big Tech is expected to spend hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure through 2027, and Alphabet’s balance sheet gives it huge flexibility to participate.

Gemini 3 helped close the perceived gap with rivals. Early feedback has been strong, and analysts expect its broader toolset to drive more monetization across Alphabet’s ecosystem.

The stock may not be the bargain it was last year. But Barron’s says the fundamentals and innovation cycle remain intact, and that as AI adoption widens, Google is still a name worth considering.
