Hot Biotech Stocks For 2019

Leave a reply

Viking Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:VKTX) is losing money like it’s going out of style. The biotech’s total revenue this year matches its total revenue last year — zip, zero, nada. At best, Viking is still several years away from even possibly winning approval for its first drug.

So if you ask me whether or not Viking Therapeutics stock is a buy, my answer is an enthusiastic… “yes.”

That’s my answer, at least, for aggressive investors. Despite all of the negatives that I ticked off for Viking, I really like this stock as a speculative play.

Similar drugs, very different valuations

The biggest reason why I think so highly of Viking Therapeutics’ prospects is that I also think highly of Madrigal Pharmaceuticals’ (NASDAQ:MDGL) prospects. In May, Madrigal announced really good results from a phase 2 clinical study of its lead candidate MGL-3196 in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Source: ThinkstockUntil about 2008 or so, discussion about the future price of crude oil was directed by the concept of peak oil. That is, when does the world reach peak production, after which the price of crude will skyrocket. In less than a decade, the discussion is now focused on the concept of “peak demand,” the point at which global demand for crude begins to decline.

The recent Oil & Money conference in London sharpened the focus on peak demand. Saudi Arabia’s minister of energy and industry, Khalid Al-Falih, told conference attendees that cutbacks in capital spending on exploration, forced on the industry by low prices for the past two years, could mean that shortfalls in supply are coming.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) CEO Rex Tillerson disagreed:

Hot Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now: Omeros Corporation(OMER)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Dan Caplinger]
Wall Street had a good day on Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other widely followed stock market indexes generally closed modestly higher. Good news from the long-struggling big-box retail sector helped make investors more enthusiastic about the U.S. economy’s prospects, distracting from worries about macroeconomic and geopolitical tensions. Yet some stocks had challenges they couldn’t overcome, and Omeros (NASDAQ:OMER), Party City Holdco (NYSE:PRTY), and Overstock.com (NASDAQ:OSTK) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

Best Medical Stocks For 2019

Absenteeism is a real problem for employers.

One way to help track employee time off is through what’s called a “no-fault” attendance policy, in which workers accumulate “points” for unexcused absences, late arrivals or early departures. Once a worker hits a certain number of points, they can be disciplined or even fired.

The days can be used for any reason: you’re waiting for the plumber to come fix your shower, your kid’s school is closed and you can’t find a sitter, or the beach sounds more fun than your desk.

But sometimes people have to miss work for a reason protected by law like childbirth or disability.

Employees cannot be dinged for absences that are protected by federal laws like the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For instance, any missed work for qualified pregnancy-related care or a serious health condition cannot count toward their allotted time off.

But companies that use no-fault policies can also be accused of running afoul of the law.

Investors also had to deal with plunging oil prices that led to a flood of buying in the bond market, sending interest rates plunging lower. Bad news also affected several individual companies.

Things aren’t going to script right now in the financial sector. It’s a widely established fact (based on years of historical evidence) that banks and other lenders typically prosper when interest rates are rising. In previous rate-tightening cycles, the financial sector was usually among the market’s top performers.

We’re sitting on a collection of the safest, most generous monthly payers available. And while $11,200 in dividend checks is a welcome addition to anyone’s income, investors also love racking up capital gains as high as 446%. Start generating a 10%+ income stream for life today from these consistent companies.

As I’ve discussed before in my High-Yield Investing premium newsletter, banks can feast in these conditions because the rates they charge borrowers on loans usually rise faster than the rates they pay to depositors. That widens net interest margins (NIMs) and fattens the bottom line.

Barnes & Noble Inc. (NYSE: BKS) has been the markets punching bag over the past couple of years, and things dont seem to be changing anytime soon. The bookstore released its most recent quarterly results before the markets opened on Thursday, and this was met with investor trepidation.
[By Rich Duprey]
My colleague Dan Kline believes there’s also an opportunity for Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) to gain share in this space. Best known for books, it has also long been a retailer of specialty toys and games, and opening up its shelves to more mass-market toys could give it a wedge into the industry.Certainly this is a possibility, but like Walmart, Target, and other retailers, Barnes & Noble has no special knowledge or expertise in the space to allow it to make a grand entrance. It’s just not a market it knows well, which means that another type of retailer that could make a pronounced move in the space faces the same kinds of hurdles.
[By Daniel B. Kline]
That leaves a hole in the market, one that will be filled partially by independent stores, but still leaves an opportunity for one struggling retailer. Unfortunately, the CEO of that retailer, Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS), has recently commented that his chain plans to reduce its assortment of toys.

Top 10 Energy Stocks To Buy For 2019

Leave a reply

Cheniere Energy’s (NYSEMKT:LNG) top line growth has gathered terrific momentum since the company started recognizing revenue from its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in the second quarter of 2016. The good news is that the strength in Cheniere’s top line growth is all set to continue in 2017 as well, which will enable the company to deliver robust upside based on its valuation.

In this article, we will take a look at the factors that will drive Cheniere Energy’s revenue growth this year and how much upside investors can expect from the company.

Why Cheniere is on track for strong revenue growth

Cheniere Energy has transitioned from a development phase company into an operational phase company after it substantially completed the Trains 1 and 2 at Sabine Pass. After achieving substantial completion at both these trains, Cheniere Energy has witnessed a massive spike in its top line since it has now started recognizing revenue from its LNG sales.

The good news for investors is that the Train 2 at Sabine Pass is yet to record a full quarter of LNG exports. For instance, in the last reported third quarter, Cheniere Energy had exported 18 LNG cargoes, with Train 2 accounting for only two of the cargoes. Now, in November, Cheniere was set to export nine cargoes, which clearly indicates that the completion of the second train is having a positive impact on its export volumes.

Top 10 Energy Stocks To Buy For 2019: Devon Energy Corporation(DVN)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Matthew DiLallo]
Oil prices have improved dramatically over the past year as OPEC’s move to drain off the supply glut proved more successful than envisioned. That rising tide has lifted most oil stocks. However, that doesn’t mean investors have missed the boat, since many oil stocks still have ample upside. Two top ones where that’s the case are Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) and Enbridge (NYSE:ENB).
[By Matthew DiLallo]
Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) is one of the top oil and gas producers in the country. However, after running into some production problems earlier in the year, shares of the shale giant have tumbled nearly 15% even though oil prices are still moving higher. Consequently, Devon Energy’s stock sells for one of the lowest valuations in its peer group.
[By Matthew DiLallo]
That ability to organically discover new shale plays has saved it a ton of money. The company was able to quietly gobble up 50,000 acres in Oklahoma over a four-year period for just $750 an acre. Contrast that with rivalsDevon Energy(NYSE:DVN) andMarathon Oil(NYSE:MRO). Devon spent $1.9 billion to buy Felix Energy in late 2015 for the company’s 80,000 acres in Oklahoma, paying a whopping $23,750 an acre. Meanwhile, Marathon paid $888 million for PayRock Energy and its 61,000 acres in the state, which amounted to roughly $14,500 an acre. EOG’sdeepknowledge of shale helps it know where to look so it can lock up land for next to nothing before rivals even know what’s there.

Top 10 Energy Stocks To Own Right Now: Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.(CLF)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Tyler Crowe, Reuben Gregg Brewer, and Travis Hoium]
For people looking to build wealth, penny stocks simply aren’t worth it. You’re better off pursuing well-run businesses and letting the power of their earnings grow your position over the long haul. So we asked three of our Motley Fool investors to choose stocks they like right now that would be good alternatives. Here’s why they picked Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Franco-Nevada Corporation (NYSE:FNV).
[By Ethan Ryder]
An issue of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:CLF) bonds fell 1.1% as a percentage of their face value during trading on Wednesday. The high-yield issue of debt has a 5.75% coupon and will mature on March 1, 2025. The debt is now trading at $95.44 and was trading at $97.00 one week ago. Price changes in a company’s bonds in credit markets often anticipate parallel changes in its stock price.
[By Brian Feroldi, Keith Speights, and Neha Chamaria]
With that in mind, we asked a team of Motley Fool investors to highlight a stock that was recently purchased by a well-known investor.Here’s why they called outCleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), andSiteOne Landscape Supply (NYSE:SITE).
[By Stephan Byrd]
Hudbay Minerals (NYSE: HBM) and Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF) are both basic materials companies, but which is the superior stock? We will contrast the two businesses based on the strength of their earnings, profitability, analyst recommendations, valuation, dividends, risk and institutional ownership.
[By Rich Smith]
Has there ever been a more surprising turnaround story than Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF)?

Once a bifurcated coal and iron miner known as Cliffs Natural Resources, folks began writing Cleveland-Cliffs’ obituary in 2012 after President Obama was elected to his second term — an apparent death knell to anyone involved in the coal industry. Three years later, the predictions seemed to be coming true, and analysts opined about whether Cleveland-Cliffs could even survive to the end of Obama’s term. Within only a few short months, the stock would bottom out. But fast-forward a few years years, and what do we see today?

Hot Energy Stocks To Invest In 2018

Leave a reply

Libya’s state energy producer National Oil Corp. announced the restart of production at Wintershall AG’s Sara oil fields more than two months after they were closed by protests, in the latest sign that the OPEC nation’s oil industry may be stabilizing.

The fields will increase the North African country’s crude output by 57,000 barrels a day, according to an NOC statement on Sunday. Wintershall confirmed that crude output at the fields resumed on Jan. 21, according to an emailed statement from the company on Monday.

The shutdown since November resulted in the loss of 4.4 million barrels of production at a cost to the economy of $281.5 million, NOC said in the statement. The municipality of Jikharra had decided to reopen the area following pressure from NOC and the public prosecution, it said. The fields, located in the Jikharra area, were closed in early November due to protests by people demanding jobs and more local development projects.

Hot Energy Stocks To Invest In 2018: FMC Technologies, Inc.(FTI)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Matthew DiLallo]
Following a series of M&A announcements in the oilfield-services sector since the onset of the oil market downturn, French oil-field service company Technip and U.S. oilfield equipment company FMC Technologies (NYSE:FTI) hooked up in an all-stock deal valuing the combined company at $13 billion. Shareholders of each company will own 50% of the combined entity, to be named TechnipFMC, which implies a roughly $6.5 billion acquisition valuation for each entity. The transaction, which should close early next year, will “combine Technip’s innovative systems and solutions, state-of-the-art assets, engineering strengths, and project management capabilities with FMC Technologies’ leading technology, manufacturing, and service capabilities.” Further, it should save $400 million in annual costs by 2019. Moreover, it will enable the combined company to compete better against larger oil-field service rivals Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), and Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), which have all gained strength during the downturn either through M&A activities or cost savings initiatives.

Friday afternoon, the non-cyclical consumer goods & services sector proved to be a source of strength for the market. Leading the sector was strength from Ballard Power Systems Inc. (USA) (NASDAQ: BLDP) and Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN).

That’s the case for Sunoco (NYSE: SUN). After posting a net loss of $0.09 per share in 2017, the gas station owner is expected to swing to a hefty profit of $2.35 per share in 2018. But of the 14 analysts who follow the company, earnings estimates range as low as $1.22 and as high as $3.35 — so there is a high degree of uncertainty.

Hot Energy Stocks To Invest In 2018: Atwood Oceanics, Inc.(ATW)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Matthew DiLallo]
Shares of Atwood Oceanics (NYSE:ATW) are bounding higher on Wednesday and were up more than 13% by 3:00 p.m. EDT. There wasn’t any news to drive the stock higher today. Instead, it appears that investors finally decided they like the company’s messy fiscal second-quarter report.
[By Dan Caplinger]
The stock market climbed Wednesday, with all three major market benchmarks finishing on the plus side. The Dow rose back to within 50 points of the 20,000 mark, and although negative comments from President-elect Donald Trump about drug pricing during his press conference caused poor performance in that sector, the general mood among investors remained positive as earnings season approaches. Also, good news on several fronts helped lift individual stocks, and Kornit Digital (NASDAQ:KRNT), Workday (NYSE:WDAY), and Atwood Oceanics (NYSE:ATW) were among the best performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so well.

Go back a year, and offshore drillers like Noble (NE), Rowan (RDC), Transocean (RIG) and Atwood Oceanics (ATW) had been all but written off–until they weren’t anymore. Since then, investors have been rewarded for picking winners in the group from the losers, as Atwood Oceanics has more than doubled, Transocean has gained 34%, and Rowan has risen 42%, while Noble and Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) have dropped 13%.
[By Lee Jackson]
Atwood Oceanics Inc. (NYSE: ATW) was reiterated with a Hold rating at Jefferies, but the firm raisedits price target on the shares to $13 from $8. That compares with a Wall Street consensus price objective of $8.90. The 52-week trading range for the stock is $4.82 to $15.87. The stock closed Thursday at $13.55.
[By Jason Hall]
April was another bad month for offshore drilling stocks. Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG), ENSCO Plc. (NYSE:ESV), Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. (NYSE:DO), Atwood Oceanic Inc.(NYSE:ATW), and Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE) all held up relatively well through the first third of the month, but then start to fall around April 10.
