No themes are genuinely split this week.
Specific-ticker calls from canonical speakers with a positive 90d prior track record (mean signed return > 0 across n≥3 matured prior calls). The track-record column is the speaker’s prior hit rate — the credibility signal for featuring the call. Each pick below is fresh, so its own 90d result is still maturing (date shown). Not part of any consensus or divergence theme above.
