Black Friday Briefing: My Official Optimus Playbook
Dear Reader,
You may have heard that Tesla is planning to launch a brand new product called “Optimus”.
Elon Musk called it “mind blowing” and has already launched his biggest ever insider buy of Tesla stock.
Others have dubbed it “terrifying”.
But whatever your views on Elon Musk and the seemingly inevitable rise of robotics, you absolutely need to know about a way you could make 10 times your money as Optimus launches, without ever buying a single share of Tesla.
See, I think almost everyone owns all the wrong stocks to profit from Optimus, which Elon Musk and Tesla insiders are racing to launch very soon.
All 10 of the biggest money managers in the world have followed my institutional firm’s work. That includes professionals from huge names like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
And yet a lot of folks I talk to on Wall Street have the Optimus story all wrong.
That’s why I’m sharing my official Optimus Playbook today.
Make no mistake: there’s no stopping Elon Musk right now – and his plans have huge implications for the stock market. Tesla may never trade at this price again.
And if you want to capitalize, there’s one stock I think needs to be on your radar right now.
I’d like to give you all the details today. And while my team has charged up to $100,000 to Wall Street for a single report on a situation like this…
You still have time to get in. But not long.
That’s why I’m stepping forward to tell you today…
Buy THIS stock before Tesla’s Optimus project goes live.
Best,

Hims, Block, and NRG Just Launched Huge Stock Buybacks
Written by Leo Miller. Published 11/24/2025.
Key Points
- After an over 40% drop in shares, weight loss drug compounder Hims just substantially boosted its share buyback capacity.
- Payments company Block announced an encouraging long-term outlook and now has a massive authorization for buybacks.
- NRG shares have soared in 2025. As the firm looks to close its game-changing acquisition, it is also replenishing its buyback fund.
Several big-name stocks just announced notable increases to their share buyback programs. These actions signal confidence from management and suggest these companies may see value in their own shares.
Below, we’ll dive into the significant buyback announcements coming from stocks across the healthcare, finance, and energy sectors.

First up is a name many retail investors have become familiar with: Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS). The company gained attention for selling compounded formulations of the weight-loss drug semaglutide. Despite repeated legal challenges, Hims continues to sell the drug, which was originally developed by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO).
Still, legal ambiguity around much of Hims’ business and its meme-stock association have contributed to highly volatile trading. In 2025, shares were up as much as 184% through Feb. 19, but the stock has lost more than 40% of its value since mid-October, leaving shares up 44% year to date.
The decline may be why the company authorized a $250 million share buyback program on Nov. 17 — roughly 3.2% of Hims’ market capitalization. In the announcement, Hims’ management said it sees value in the shares: “We continue to see opportunities where the market value of our Class A common stock may not fully reflect what we believe is its intrinsic value.”
Ironically, shares fell roughly 3.8% on the day of the announcement, underscoring skepticism about whether buybacks are the best use of cash for the company.
Block’s Long-Term Outlook and Buyback Plan Inspire Confidence from Markets
Next is fintech company Block (NYSE: XYZ). Block operates several products and services across payments and commerce, including the Square point-of-sale system for small businesses, the Cash App peer-to-peer payments platform, and the Afterpay buy-now-pay-later service.
The company recently held its Investor Day, where it shared multi-year projections. Management said it expects adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to grow in the low 30% range annually over the next three years.
Given Block’s optimistic outlook, it increased its share repurchase authorization by $5 billion, bringing total repurchase capacity to about $6.1 billion — roughly 16.2% of its market capitalization. Block has also been active with buybacks over the past 12 months, spending about $1.7 billion, which signals a strong commitment to shareholder returns even as the stock is down around 27% in 2025.
NRG Adds $3 Billion to Buyback Coffers with LS Power Closing in Sight
NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG) also made a meaningful buyback move. Unlike the other two firms, NRG shares were notably strong in the second half of 2025, delivering a 79% total return as of Nov. 21.
Much of that gain occurred on May 12, when shares jumped to nearly $150 after a strong earnings report and the announcement of a pending acquisition of assets from LS Power that would significantly expand NRG’s natural gas generation capacity. Since then, shares have generally traded in the $145–$180 range, closing near $159 on Nov. 21.
On Nov. 6, NRG authorized a $3 billion share buyback program, about 9.8% of the company’s market capitalization. The approval runs through 2028, implying the company could retire roughly 3% of its outstanding shares per year. Then on Nov. 18, NRG announced it had received approval from two key regulators for the LS Power asset acquisition, bringing the deal closer to a planned close in Q1 2026.
Hims, Block, and NRG Look to Support Per-Share Metrics
Beyond signaling management confidence, share buybacks can boost per-share metrics like EPS and free cash flow per share. Improvements in these metrics are often associated with higher valuations, so buybacks can help support a company’s share price. That potential benefit is likely one reason Hims, Block, and NRG have authorized sizable repurchase programs.
