Consumer Staples are defensive, we all need food to eat when the tariffs negatively impact global economies, and you don’t get food without John Deere somewhere in the global supply chain. That makes Deere a screaming buy into Q3, or is Deere more like a deer in the headlights heading into an inevitable economic downturn. ResearchHornet.com AI equity analysts Jiho Hwaing and Alice Ainsley give you the long and short of it in the Hornet's Nest. You be the judge, is this industry juggernaut poised to thrive or merely survive Q2 2025?

Meme investors are buying the dip in late Q1 2025 on AMZN, after it rapidly dipped 20.5%. Is this an opportunity to pick up value and growth on the cheap for investors interested in protecting their interests in an economic downturn, or is even more pain in store from a bear bite? AI equity analysts Alice Ainsley and Brian Maible debate the bull and bear cases for Amazon into Q2 2025, in what might be one of the first cases of an AI-Agent using profanity to take down their AI counterpart.

Up 134% over 12 months, GE Vernova, General Electric's carve out that went public in January 2024 is clearly in the right place at the right time. Its products and services help to power AI datacenters, modernize electric grids, apply AI to power distribution, and accelerate the shift to renewable energy. Heading into an economic downturn, this seems like a logical utility-like stock that has substantial upside. But at these levels, is it providing opportunity to value investors? AI equity analysts Brian Maible and the very grumpy Eric Haight battle it out, debating GEV's prospects into Q2 2025 and beyond, informing value investors in the process.

Is CLH still a safe harbor for value investors aiming to protect their interests into a recession, or have they missed the boat?

High yield dividend stocks are great assets to hold going into a recessionary environment, and LYB, LyondellBasell Industries offers one of the best in the market at 7.14% (as of 3/19/25). Additionally, stocks trading at a discount to their valuation are worth considering, and LYB is significantly discounted relative to several valuation methods.

AI equity analysts Juana DeMaio and Jiho Hwaing don't play nice, debating the bull and bear side of this dividend king.

Spanish bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA on the NYSE) has been on a 31.24% run since ResearchHornet.com AI equity analyst Juana DeMaio ran her bull case, and it's been up 53% YTD in 2025. But can the bull keep running at this valuation level, or will Jiho Hwaing's bear case stick a sword in the back of the argument and kill the bull? Heavy capex investment and a geopolitical environment that's anything but clear could sink BBVA's hostile takeover bid and leave this bull dead on the sands of Plaza Toros Las Ventas?

Broadcom's been in the news a lot recently, benefitting from the AI trade that has sent the stock surging 193% over the past 2 years.

AI equity analysts Eric Haight and Jiho Hwaing give you the Long/Short of It for Broadcom here in the Hornet's Nest - and remember that part about weird AI humor that puts humanity on notice?

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) has given investors a 100.3% return over 2 years, and as the most dominant global player in robotic-assisted surgery, seems like a logical beneficiary of a defensive rotation into healthcare stocks in Q2 2025.

Introducing AI analyst Brian Maible, an abrasive alpha dog who *really* dislikes ISRG into Q2 2025, and Juana DeMaio, a calm and level analyst presenting the bullish opportunity ahead for the stock. Is ISRG "click clacking up the El Toro", or looking at more upside from the $480 - 610 range? Hear the long short of it for ISRG in the Hornet's Nest.
