Best Clean Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now


Under Armour (NYSE:UA) (NYSE:UAA), Fitbit (NYSE:FIT), and GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO) were all terrible stocks to own over the past year. Under Armour and Fitbit were both cut in half, and GoPro plummeted nearly 40%.

At first glance, Under Armour, Fitbit, and GoPro don’t have a lot in common, since they compete in different industries. But if we look just a little closer, we’ll notice that these three hated companies actually share four key weaknesses that won’t fade away anytime soon.

1. Slowing sales growth in saturated markets

When Under Armour, Fitbit, and GoPro went public, investors were dazzled by their incredible sales growth. However, that euphoria faded as their markets became saturated and their sales growth slowed.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Eli Lilly and Company(LLY)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By David Zeiler]

    Pharma stocks shot up in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory. Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE: LLY) and Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) both rose about 6%, while Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) jumped 7%.

    Cramer recalled recently investing in Eli Lilly (LLY) on hopes the company’s Alzheimer’s research would be worth billions. As time has worn on, Lilly’s obstacles to success seem to be mounting. Not knowing if or when Lilly might see success, Cramer said he sold the stock and moved on.

    Following the decision of the PTAB not to institute CHRS IPR on the 166 Humira formulation patent, we continue to anticipate that first likely launch of biosimilar adalimumab (Humira) in the US will be delayed until 2020, in line with our published forecasts and biosimilar model. We anticipate the open IPR hearings for the 135 dosing patent on Humira (filed by Boehringer and Coherus) to begin in Feb 2017 with the ruling in May. We rateAbbVie a Buy. We continue to prefer BUY rated Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Eli Lilly (LLY) among the US names.

    Both Evenity and Tymlos are anabolic treatments, which means they encourage bone growth, rather than merely preventing bones from becoming more brittle, as prior generation osteoporosis drugs have done. While Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) was the first to market a drug in this class when Forteo gained marketing approval in 2002, it has faced no competitors despite achieving $1.5 billion in global sales last year, including $770 million in the United States. All of its patents expire by August 2019.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now: AVG Technologies N.V.(AVG)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Igor Novgorodtsev]

    InterActiveCorp (IACI) bought Ask.com for $1.85 billion in 2005. The new Perion will be worth only about 40% of that. After the merger, Perion will leapfrog its much larger rivals: Babylon and AVG (AVG). Finally, Perion should be able to increase its operating margins as it can spread its SG&A costs over a much larger base (Conduit EBITDA margin is 32% vs. Perion’s 23%). Perion will keep its senior management team intact: Josef Mandelbaum will remain its CEO and Yacov Kaufman its CFO. Perion has successfully orchestrated a roll-up acquisitions of privately-held Sweetpacks and Smilebox, so I have high confidence that they know how to integrate a new business.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now: L Brands, Inc.(LB)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Teresa Rivas]

    L Brands (LB) ended at the bottom of the S&P 500 on Thursday, after disappointing guidance overshadowed better-than-expected earnings.


    L Brands slid $9.19, or 15.8%, to $48.94, its lowest close since 2013. By contrast, the S&P 500 gained 0.99 points, or 0.04%, today to 2363.81.

    Oppenheimers Anna Andreeva and Samantha Lanman reiterated an Outperform rating and $75 price target on the stock, but admit that the magnitude of L Brands downward forecast was disappointing, even with weak industry trends signaled by peers like Wal-Mart (WMT), Macys (M), and TJX Cos. (TJX).

    While they still are bullish, they admit that the bottom isnt clear:

    In the last 5 years, LB’s multiple averaged in high-teens given quality of brands/management, with 13-14x trough not seen since early ’13valuation could still compress assuming guidance isn’t conservative enough. Sticking with Outperform for now, albeit near-term visibility is worsening.


    L Brands is down 25% this year.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now: TAL International Group Inc.(TAL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Craig Jones]

    Instead of buying TAL Education Group (ADR) (NYSE: TAL), Cramer would buy Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA).

    Cramer thinks Burlington Stores Inc (NYSE: BURL) is going to have a good quarter, because Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST) posted a good one, and they have similar business models.
