<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rethinking Bear Market Rally Strategy&nbsp;</h1>
In yesterday&#8217;s post (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-05-08/still-bear-market-rally">Is This Still A Bear Market Rally?</a>&#8220;), we mentioned why that question mattered:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">We&#8217;ve got a source of alpha that works well during market rallies: Portfolio Armor&#8217;s top ten names. Since December of 2022, our weekly&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/performance-top-names">top ten names</a>&nbsp;have averaged returns of 17.03% over the next six months, versus 10.75% for the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust&nbsp;(SPY). If this is a new bull market, it makes sense to start buying those top names again now, or placing bullish options trades on them. But if this is a bear market rally, it makes sense to wait.&nbsp;
</blockquote>
What happened on Thursday prompted us to rethink that. Two of Portfolio Armor&#8217;s top ten names from earlier in the week, Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRPN#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>) and D-Wave Quantum, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>)&#8230;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="777" height="637" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names.png" alt="" class="wp-image-12689" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names.png 777w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names-300x246.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names-768x630.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px" /></figure>
&#8230;Exploded higher on the day, up&nbsp;~42%&nbsp;and&nbsp;~51%, respectively. Both moves were tied to near-term catalysts:&nbsp;earnings reports.
Here's what their charts looked like:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="834" height="1024" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095344/GRPN-834x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12690" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095344/GRPN-834x1024.jpg 834w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095344/GRPN-244x300.jpg 244w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095344/GRPN-768x943.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095344/GRPN.jpg 977w" sizes="(max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px" /></figure>
</blockquote>
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="769" height="1024" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095410/QBTS-769x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12691" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095410/QBTS-769x1024.jpg 769w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095410/QBTS-225x300.jpg 225w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095410/QBTS-768x1023.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095410/QBTS.jpg 901w" sizes="(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px" /></figure>
These weren't lottery ticket plays. These were data-driven selections by the Portfolio Armor system, combined with catalysts.
Which brings us to a tactical update.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Avoidance to Precision</h2>
If we are in a bear market rally—and signs still point that way—then broad, passive exposure is a blunt instrument. What we need instead is&nbsp;precision exposure: to names flagged by the model&nbsp;and&nbsp;poised to move on identifiable catalysts.
So, the revised approach:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#x1f50d;&nbsp;Buy call options on top-ranked names from the Portfolio Armor system that have near-term catalysts, like earnings.
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#x23f3;&nbsp;Time the entry in the days leading up to the catalyst, and select expirations&nbsp;a few weeks out&nbsp;to absorb IV crush and capture any momentum continuation.
</blockquote>
This is key:&nbsp;we're not chasing the move after earnings—we're positioning for it ahead of time, using the system's statistical edge to identify names likely to outperform, and catalysts as accelerants.&nbsp;
We had success with trading our top names during the bull market. It&#8217;s time to apply it to the bear market rally.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Managing Volatility and Risk</h2>
Implied volatility tends to rise into events and collapse immediately afterward—a phenomenon known as&nbsp;IV crush. That's what punishes short-term call buyers who target weekly expiries.
To reduce that damage, the answer isn't avoiding the event—it's&nbsp;buying a little time. Choosing expiries 2–3 weeks past the catalyst lets you:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hold through the event without binary pressure, and</li>
<li>Potentially ride post-event continuation, if the name trends as it did with GRPN and QBTS.</li>
</ol>
This isn't about gaming volatility—it's about giving the trade room to work.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Works—Even in a Bear Market Rally</h2>
Bear market rallies are notorious for their fragility. Breadth is thin. Participation is uneven. But that's exactly why this works: the moves that&nbsp;do&nbsp;happen tend to be&nbsp;violent, especially when sparked by strong catalysts.
GRPN and QBTS weren't just good picks—they were&nbsp;correctly timed&nbsp;good picks. The Portfolio Armor system surfaced them, but it was the earnings schedule that amplified the opportunity.
It's not enough to know what names have edge; you need to know when that edge is likely to express itself.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Passive to Surgical</h2>
Thursday's action served as a reminder: even in a cautious market, there are trades worth taking. Not in bulk. Not indiscriminately. But selectively, where&nbsp;signal meets narrative.
This revised playbook doesn't abandon caution; it refines it.
We'll continue watching for top Portfolio Armor names with near-term events—earnings, guidance, product news. And we'll be using&nbsp;options—not stock—to target those asymmetric bursts, minimizing downside while preserving explosive upside.
It's not about ignoring the macro. It's about executing tactically within it.
