Best Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019

Leave a reply

Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE: CPB) shares saw a nice bounce on Tuesday after activist investor Dan Loeb was said to be shaking things up. Loeb’s message seems pretty simple and is an appropriate measure considering the direction in which the soup maker has been headed recently.

Campbell’s stock has been in free fall for the past year. This was a $60 stock as recently as February 2017, and it has hit lows not seen in over five years in the past two weeks. The stock has only now just recovered from mid-May when it last reported earnings and its CEO resigned.

Like every other activist investor — with the exception of maybe Bill Ackman — Loeb sees the company as undervalued and is petitioning the board to do something about it.

According to the New York Post, Loeb’s Third Point hedge fund is in talks with family members who control roughly 41% of Campbell’s shares and with independent Campbell investors about supporting a plan that would result in hiring a bank to explore a possible sale of the 149-year-old company. This comes from two sources close to the situation, said the New York Post.

Best Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019: Blueprint Medicines Corporation(BPMC)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Todd Campbell]

    In this clip of The Motley Fool’s Industry Focus Healthcare, host Kristine Harjes is joined by Motley Fool contributor Todd Campbell to discuss LOXO-292’s opportunity and how competitor Blueprint Medicines (NASDAQ:BPMC) is challenging it. Also, the two analysts discuss why shares in Abiomed, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABMD) are soaring higher and if this is a high-priced stock that investors should embrace or ignore.

  • [By Ethan Ryder]

    Shares of Blueprint Medicines Corp (NASDAQ:BPMC) have received an average recommendation of “Buy” from the thirteen research firms that are presently covering the stock, MarketBeat Ratings reports. Two equities research analysts have rated the stock with a hold recommendation and eleven have given a buy recommendation to the company. The average 1-year target price among analysts that have updated their coverage on the stock in the last year is $92.22.

  • [By Todd Campbell]

    Investors should also keep their enthusiasm in check because Loxo Oncology isn’t alone in targeting TRK fusion and RET mutations: Roche Holdings (NASDAQOTH:RHHBY) could challenge it in TRK fusions and Blueprint Medicines (NASDAQ:BPMC) could compete with it in RET mutations. 

  • [By Brian Orelli]

    On the downside, Blueprint Medicines (NASDAQ:BPMC) also is developing a RET targeting drug called BLU-667. The company doesn’t seem to be presenting additional data at ASCO, likely because it just released data last month at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting. While it’s very hard to make apples-to-apples comparisons across phase 1 trials, BLU-667 doesn’t look quite as active, with ORR of 50% percent in patients with NSCLC and 40% in patients with medullary thyroid cancer.

  • [By Todd Campbell]

    The big thing to watch this week will be how investors view Loxo’s results in comparison to results presented earlier this year by Blueprint Medicines (NASDAQ:BPMC). Blueprint’s BLU-667 also targets RET-fusions and at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in April, Blueprint revealed a preliminary overall response rate of 50% for NSCLC and 40% for MTC. It’s bad science to compare unrelated trials, so investors might be best off viewing Loxo and Blueprint’s data as evidence that they’re both working on a winning approach.

Best Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019: Qorvo, Inc.(QRVO)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Harsh Chauhan]

    Investors didn’t waste any time expressing their disappointment after Qorvo’s (NASDAQ:QRVO) fourth-quarter 2018 results came out. The chipmaker failed to offer strong guidance for the current quarter, which was enough to blind investors to the fact that it did well to turn its business around to some extent in the previous quarter.

  • [By Ethan Ryder]

    American International Group Inc. raised its position in shares of Qorvo (NASDAQ:QRVO) by 4.1% during the first quarter, according to its most recent disclosure with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The institutional investor owned 47,585 shares of the semiconductor company’s stock after purchasing an additional 1,880 shares during the period. American International Group Inc.’s holdings in Qorvo were worth $3,352,000 at the end of the most recent reporting period.

  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    Qorvo Inc. (NASDAQ: QRVO) was raised to Overweight from Sector Weight with a $95 price target (versus a $77.44 close) at KeyBanc Capital Markets.

    Valeritas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VLRX) was started as Outperform and assigned a $3.50 price target (versus a $1.35 close) at Oppenheimer. Valeritas was indicated up over 6% at $1.44 on Thursday morning, but this is a microcap stock.

  • [By Ezra Schwarzbaum]

    Several other optics stocks stand to gain. In a Monday note, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Vivek Arya also highlighlited the semiconductor space as one that could benefit from the news. Other stocks to watch include:

Top 10 Low Price Stocks To Watch For 2019

Leave a reply

Dr. Kent Moors

A few years ago, in one of my books (“The Vega Factor”), I coined a phrase to explain the new way in which oil pricing was unfolding, along with the uncertainty resulting from it.

Then, the market was facing rising crude topping $100 a barrel.

Now, the situation finds oil rising into the mid-$60s after a bout of abnormally low prices.

The phenomenon described, however, applies to oil moving in either direction.

I called it “Oil Vega.”

Simply put, it refers to the increasing inability to determine the true value of crude oil based on its market price.

Now, there is a reason why I’m revisiting this phrase now.

You see, I am close to putting the finishing touch on a new investment tool that identifies stocks based on this phenomenon.

And today, I want to give you a sneak peek at one of its main components…

Top Safest Stocks For 2019

I love talking about investments that can make you lots of money. But you know what I love even more? Simple strategies that can SAVE you lots of money with very little effort.

After all, even the safest investments carry risk. Meanwhile, some money-saving strategies can end up putting a lot more cash in your pockets with absolutely ZERO risk!

Take car insurance. Despite all the commercials and billboards featuring ducks, geckos, and crazy comedian ladies, I hadnt shopped around in five or six years.

But when we changed up our households car assortment and our premiums shot up substantially — I decided to see what other carriers could do for me.

At the risk of sounding like an ad, the process literally did take just 15 or 20 minutes with each company I investigated. Yet the savings were massive

Progressive ended up being 30% cheaper than Liberty Mutual.

Meanwhile, Geico offered the same level of coverage at 58% less cost!

Needless to say, I switched.

Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Carnival Corporation(CCL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By ]

    Investors should book a trip on Carnival Corp.’s (CCL) stock. 

    Shares of the cruise line known for its hot party scenes and general affordability, have tumbled 4% this year on multiple concerns. Chief among them is a coming industry uptick in new ships set to sail the waters. That has prompted Wall Street to fear a discount war among the major cruise lines, especially if the U.S. economy slows sharply in 2019 as many speculate.

  • [By ]

    Meanwhile, TheStreet will drop a podcast with Carnival Corp. (CCL) CEO Arnold Donald this weekend. Donald and I talked Wednesday afternoon about his rise to the top gig at Carnival and overall cruise line industry trends. Similar to what I learned from talking to Norwegisn Cruise Line (NCLH) CEO Frank Del Rio last week, I came away thinking Carnival is also undervalued here (stock is down 5% this year). While there are a good number of new ships hitting waters in 2019 and beyond, the consumer demand is such that more ships are warranted. Risks: surging oil prices (it takes a lot of fuel to run a cruise ship) and a recession (meaning somewhat empty new ships).

  • [By ]

    That type of reaction is a bearish signal. What’s not bearish: the CEOs of Carnival Corp. (CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) telling TheStreet they see no signs of recession anywhere in their business, and don’t understand why their stocks are being penalized.

  • [By Chris Lange]

    Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) fiscal first-quarter report is scheduled for Thursday. The consensus forecast is $0.43 in EPS on $4.11 billion in revenue. Shares closed at $66.91 apiece. The consensus price target is $76.94, and the 52-week range is $57.09 to $72.70.

Top Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2019

Leave a reply

Over the course of the last few trading days, we have seen the return of volatility and some serious carnage in the markets. To kick off this week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,175 points, the largest single-day point loss in the history of the index. Monday and Thursday were easily two of the worst trading days that anyone has seen in a long time, but on the other hand Tuesday and Friday were incredibly positive days.

Friday saw markets open on a positive note but slip into the red around lunch time, only to quickly comeback even stronger to close out the day. However, whats to say this wont happen again with investors getting the short end of the stick?

Some investors with longer views beyond a few days will likely invest in defensive companies those they believe will keep operating well if the market continues to fall and rates continue to rise. Many such public companies also have a long history of paying dividends. Warren Buffetts advice to investors has famously been, Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Westar Energy stock declined 8% after regulators at the Kansas Corporation Commissions blocked the sale of Westar to Great Plains Energy (NYSE:GXP). The $12.2 billion merger would have joined utilities in Kansas and Missouri. Great Plains had argued that the combination would produce nearly $2 billion in efficiency gains in the next 10 years, but regulators instead sided with those who had argued that the deal was too rich and would have required rate increases sooner rather than later. Great Plains stock was hardly affected at all by the decision, leading many to conclude that Westar had a lot more to lose from the deal falling through then Great Plains had to gain from a successful merger.

Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Leave a reply

The stock market gave up ground on Tuesday, but investors saw major benchmarks recover from their worst levels of the day to finish down less than half a percent. Early in the day, poor earnings results from blue chip components of the Dow Jones Industrials weighed on market sentiment, and ongoing uncertainty about whether the Trump administration will be able to deliver on promised government reforms made some investors feel less confident about the future. However, several companies reported good news despite the dour mood on Wall Street, and GNC Holdings (NYSE:GNC), Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS), and Cabela’s (NYSE:CAB) 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.

GNC eases shareholders’ concerns

Shares of GNC Holdings jumped 24% after the company posted first-quarter results that, while not perfect, were still not as bad as some investors had feared. Revenue fell 4% from year-ago levels, and same-store sales dropped 3.9% in company-owned locations and 4.6% in domestic franchise stores. Moreover, net income dropped by more than half, leaving the company with just $0.37 per share in adjusted earnings. Yet those numbers encouraged those who are patient enough to give GNC time to remake itself, and CEO Bob Moran pointed to the company’s One New GNC transformation strategy as having shown signs of early success. With new loyalty programs producing some positive effects on transaction counts and volume, GNC hopes that business metrics will hit bottom and start to grow again in the near future.

    The stock posting the largest daily percentage gain in the S&P 500 ahead of the close Thursday was Alliance Data Systems Corp. (NYSE: ADS) which jumped 8.3% to $260.56.

    Alliance Data Systems (ADS) soared to the top of the S&P 500 today after beating the Street’s earnings and revenue expectations.

    Getty Images

    Alliance Data Systemsgained 8.3% to $260.62, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 2,355.84.

    Evercore ISI’s David Togut and team argue that Alliance Data Systems is “checking the right boxes.” They explain:

    ADS’ 1Q/17 earnings reinforced our conviction that net charge offs will stabilize at the end of this year, driving accelerating earnings growth in 2018. Card Services surpassed our revenue and EBITDA forecasts fueled by an 80 basis point increase in gross card yield thanks to rising interest rates. Epsilon’s revenue growth accelerated to 7% from a 1% decline in 4Q/16 driven by double digit growth in Automotive, Agency and digital CRM plus an easy comparison. LoyaltyOne revenue and EBITDA fell below our estimates given soft results from AIR MILES, which is adjusting its value proposition after the Ontario Legislature last December eliminated the expiration date on AIR MILES. Overall, ADS remains on track to generate double-digit adjusted EBITDA and EPS gains in 2017, and in 2018 to accelerate EPS growth to the mid-teens given slowing headwinds from delinquencies plus operating leverage from stabilizing net charge-off rates.

    Alliance Data Systems’ market capitalization rose to $14.6 billion today from $13.5 billion yesterday.

    Alliance Data Systems (ADS) was the worst performer in the S&P 500 Tuesday.

    Getty Images

    ADS shares fell $9.32, or 3.8%, to $238.32, compared to the S&P 500, which fell 3.38 points, or 0.14%, to 2353.78.

    The shares were hurt by a bearish note from Oppenheimer: Analysts Ben Chittenden and Dominick Gabriele initiated coverage of the stock with an Underperform rating and a $185 price target.

    Details from the note:

    Long investors seem generally to believe that the profitability of ADS’s capital-light/data-driven/tech-based businesses (Epsilon/LoyaltyOne) will turn relatively soon and that EPS will be driven by more than just the card business. The logical conclusion is the multiple should be FinTech-based. We think it’s just as easy to make the case that, while ADS had a first-mover advantage on data-driven, SKU-level analytics, competitive advantage is diminishing and the profitability of these businesses will likely take longer to turn (and likely not return to historical levels). Thus, earnings will continue to be driven by the balance sheet-intensive card business (our ’18E EPS is 6% below consensus) and should be valued as such, we think.

    Advanced Micro Devices(AMD) was the worst performer in the S&P 500 yesterday.

Two of the major social media companies are scheduled to report quarterly earnings this week. Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) reports before market open Wednesday, Apr. 25, and Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) reports after market close the same day.

Twitter Earnings and Options Activity

After several years of lagging the S&P 500 (SPX), TWTR has been outperforming by a wide margin. At a couple of points throughout 2017, the stock was trading pretty close to its multi-year low of $13.73 it hit in mid-2015. Over the past year, it has more than doubled and is up about 27 percent in 2018 alone.

CEO Jack Dorsey has shown some improvement in the business in the last few quarterly reports. When TWTR reported Q4 2017 results, it was the first time the company had ever been profitable on a GAAP basis. Daily active users were up 12 percent year-over-year, its fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, and monthly active users remained flat at 330 million.

In Q4, TWTR reiterated that it remained focused on growing revenue by improving its core ad offerings, tapping into new channels of demand and introducing new ways to buy ads, and continuing to grow data and enterprise solutions. Video remained TWTR’s largest ad format in Q4 and it has been one of the primary drivers of growth in its ad business, according to the company.
