Weekly Watchlist Preview: October 6–10, 2025

Every Sunday, our team puts together a watchlist of five stocks we’re keeping an eye on for the week ahead. This week, we’re making part of that list public and walking you through three key names that we believe deserve close attention: Apple (AAPL), Hims & Hers Health (HIMS), and Alibaba (BABA).

We’ll break down the technical setups we’re watching, along with a brief look at the fundamentals that give us confidence in each company’s long-term potential.


📈 Apple (AAPL)

Chart Setup:
Apple has been grinding higher and looks ready to take out the $260 resistance level, similar to the breakout we saw in Alphabet (GOOGL) earlier this year. On the chart, $260 has acted as a stubborn ceiling, but momentum and moving averages suggest a breakout is only a matter of time. We’re targeting November 265–270 strike calls to give ourselves enough time for the move.

AAPL.jpg_*Fundamentals:Apple remains acash flow powerhouse**, with a fortress balance sheet, loyal customer base, and expanding services revenue (App Store, iCloud, Apple Music, and now AI initiatives). With strong iPhone 16 sales expected this holiday season and a growing wearables ecosystem, Apple’s fundamentals continue to back up its technical setup.


💊 Hims & Hers Health (HIMS)

Chart Setup:
Above $60.50, HIMS sets up beautifully for a breakout play, with the potential to target the $70 strike calls. The 50-day moving average has been acting as solid support, and the chart is forming a tightening coil that suggests a bigger move ahead. The key here is volume in call options, which would confirm bullish conviction.

HIMS.jpg_*Fundamentals:HIMS has built itself into afast-growing telehealth leader**, tapping into massive markets for wellness, skincare, mental health, and sexual health. Revenue growth has been accelerating, and the company’s subscription-based model provides consistent recurring revenue. Their focus on brand recognition and expanding services adds to the bullish case.


🌏 Alibaba (BABA)

Chart Setup:
We traded Alibaba recently, and the name has continued its strong run higher. A break above $191.48 could open the door to a move into the $200+ strike zone, provided we see the right volume confirmation. After a long base and recovery from depressed levels, momentum looks strong—but we want to avoid chasing if it stalls at an overbought top.

baba.jpg_*Fundamentals:Alibaba remains thedominant e-commerce and cloud player in China**, with additional exposure to digital payments through Ant Group. While the company faced regulatory pressure in past years, the tide has shifted, and fundamentals are improving with strong growth in international commerce and cloud adoption. The valuation remains attractive relative to its long-term growth potential.


✅ Final Thoughts

This week’s watchlist is built around technical levels lining up with strong fundamental stories.

  • AAPL: Ready to retest all-time highs.
  • HIMS: A high-growth disruptor in telehealth with room to run.
  • BABA: A recovering e-commerce giant with momentum on its side.
