Hot Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019

Leave a reply

Investors in NorthStar Realty Europe (NYSE:NRE) woke up to news Tuesday morning that one of the company’s largest investors is looking to shake things up at the company. Senvest Management, which owns 9.55% of NorthStar, is pushing the company’s external advisor, Colony Capital (NYSE:CLNY), to realize value at the undervalued European REIT, after years of a stagnating stock price.

Senvest outlined three major ways for Colony to proceed, though I think only one way will be acceptable to Colony. So here’s what investors in NorthStar should know about this potential activist attack.

Senvest goes on the offensive

By way of background, NorthStar Realty Europe was spun off as an externally managed REIT from NorthStar Realty Finance in 2015. Since then, the stock has traded consistently below its net asset value (NAV), which is $20.95 per shareas of June 30. While NorthStar Realty Europe has taken moves to realize some value, including paring down its portfolio of real estate and repurchasing stock at major discounts, the stock has never gotten close to that NAV figure. In addition, the company renegotiated its onerous management contract with Colony. Colony owns 11.3% of NorthStar.

Hot Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019: Xcel Energy Inc.(XEL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    Late last year, Xcel Energy (NASDAQ:XEL) became the first utility to publicly and boldly commit to generating all of its electricity from 100% carbon-free sources by 2050. While individuals and groups who take environmental stewardship seriously cheered the news, individual investors and Wall Street analysts should be cheering, too. 

  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    Xcel Energy (NASDAQ:XEL), which owns one of two investor-owned utilities in the state, has already exceeded the 30% target. But it knows even more ambitious standards are coming in the not-too-distant future. That’s why it’s proposed an ambitious new power plan to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that would allow the company to generate 55% of its power in the state from renewables by 2026. It would also double the company’s current total solar capacity.

Top 10 Safest Stocks To Own Right Now

The municipal-bond market is dominated by individual investors, and it turns out they’re not nearly as good as the pros.

Over the past decade, individuals earned an average of about 1.26 percentage point less annually on their investments in open-end state and local government bond funds than the funds themselves, according to a study released by Morningstar Inc., which took account of what investors make after shifting their money in and out of the market. That gap was the biggest among the eight asset classes the research company examined.

Even though state and local government debt is one of the world’s safest investments, buyers are still prone to so-called headline risk, or bad news stories that undermine the market’s perception as a haven and cause investors to sell when they should stay put.

That happened in 2010, when banking analyst Meredith Whitney triggered a selloff by predicting that recession-battered governments would default on "hundreds of billions of dollars" of bonds. That forecast proved widely off the mark, and in 2011 municipals returned 11 percent. They haven’t had a better year since.

Hot Small Cap Stocks To Buy For 2019

Today, our Under the Radar Moversnewsletter suggestedsmall cap professional services and technical solutions stock Cartesian Inc (NASDAQ: CRTN) as a long/bullish trade:

It’s a subtle clue from Cartesian, but still one worth noting… and acting on. That is, yesterday’s pullback only had to touch the 20-day and 100-day moving average line (blue and gray, respectively), to rekindle the budding bullish effort after months worth of sideways movement and a bullish breakout effort taking shape in just the past couple of weeks. The buyers have tipped their hand, so to speak, and sealed the deal with bullish crosses of several moving averages.

We’re getting in on this move very early, which means we’re getting in at a great price.

    Withsuch a huge amount of money on the line, quite a few drugmakers are developing NASH drugs. We’ll probably soon see acquisitions activity heat up. I think Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:MDGL) and Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ:VKTX) are highly likely to be gobbled up in the not-too-distant future. My hunch is that Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY), Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:GILD), and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) could be among the potential buyers.

William Patalon III

You might remember the 1978 film Halloween as the flick that launched the whole “slasher” genre.

I remember it for other reasons.

It came out during my final year at Bel Air Senior High, so several buddies and I watched it at the old-fashioned Main Street Theater in my hometown of Bel Air, Md. In fact, we watched it a bunch of times.

There’s one little facet of this movie – a piece of trivia – that’s always fascinated me.

Although the hulking, mask-wearing killer is referred to as “Michael Myers” throughout the 91-minute film, when the credits finally roll he’s referred to only as “The Shape.”

It’s a brilliant “device.”

    But as platforms such as Line (LN) and Tencent’s (TCEHY) WeChat show, Messenger and WhatsApp each have tremendous potential to be monetized through some mixture of ads, payments, e-commerce services and in-app transactions. WeChat, which just topped 1 billion MAUs, is believed to have accounted for a healthy portion of the $36.4 billion in revenue Tencent produced last year. Line, which had 168 million MAUs at the end of last year, had 2017 revenue of 167 billion yen ($1.56 billion).
