TOP PICK

Stochchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As the pandemic appears to be heading towards wave two, take-out vendors will continue to benefit. PZZA has done well thus far, with recently reported revenues rising by 15% over the year and sales up 28%. We recommend picking up this Top Pick with an eye to return return to $100 -- nearly a 20% return-- using $72 as stop-loss. Yield 1.05% (Analysts’ price target is $106.21)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 28/18, Up 29%) Fears are higher, completely oversold, and he’d continue to hold. Plenty of upside.

TOP PICK

Oversold now and an erratic chart. The founder should have kept his mouth shut, so the stock's come down to 2014 level. A buy and a hold here. (Analysts' price target: $51.08)

DON'T BUY

He would not touch it technically. The roll over means you have a steep climb back up. It has had declining earnings estimates.
