Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Invest In 2018: KLA-Tencor Corporation(KLAC)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Laurie Kulikowski]

    We rate KLA-TENCOR CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed – some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company’s strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, notable return on equity and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company has favored debt over equity in the management of its balance sheet. 

  • [By Jim Cramer]

    After a year of stock price fluctuations, the net result is that KLAC’s price has not changed very much. Although its weak earnings growth may have played a role in this flat result, don’t lose sight of the fact that the performance of the overall market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was essentially similar. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.

     

  • [By Jim Cramer]

    The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income increased by 45.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $72.23 million to $104.90 million.

     

  • [By Jim Cramer]

    The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 10.70 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Despite the company’s weak debt-to-equity ratio, the company has managed to keep a very strong quick ratio of 3.00, which shows the ability to cover short-term cash needs.

Top 10 Medical Stocks For 2018

On Thursday, our Under the Radar Moversnewsletter suggestedshorting small cap pet medical insurance stock Trupanion Inc (NASDAQ: TRUP):

The big trigger for our bet against Trupanion is today’s decisive cross under the 200-day moving average lie (green), which also yanked TRUP under a horizontal floor around $14.20. The kicker/clincher is the fact that the 20-day moving average line pulled under its 100-day line last week. As you can see on the chart though, the volume trend — as evidenced by the falling Chaikin Money Flow indicator — has been bearish for a while. This tumble is just the materialization of that bearish undertow, but the selling could pick up in earnest now that this technical blow has been dealt.

Our Under the Radar Moversnewsletter has a more detailed discussion about Trupanion Incs techncial chart and a potential shorting strategy:

    As the spread between short-term and long-terminterest rates began to contract, strangling profits, competition for MBSes also caused prices to rise. Other agency mREITs were nervous, too. CYS Investments (NYSE: CYS  ) noted at the time that QE3 turned the Federal Reserve into the sector’s biggest rival for mortgage bonds, and as spreads began to shrink, so did dividends. By December of last year, Annaly, Armour, and Capstead Mortgage (NYSE: CMO  ) had all trimmed their payouts.

Top 10 Medical Stocks For 2018: Uni-Pixel, Inc.(UNXL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    Uni-Pixel (UNXL) manufactures electronic film products using its proprietary manufacturing process, UniBoss. This stock closed up 7.6% to $16.84 in Monday’s trading session.

    Monday’s Volume: 1.88 million

    Three-Month Average Volume: 1 million

    Volume % Change: 108%

    From a technical perspective, UNXL bounced sharply higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $15.89 with above-average volume. This stock looks to be forming a double bottom chart pattern at $14.91 to $15.16. If that bottom holds, then shares of UNXL could see a continuation of Monday’s upside action.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in UNXL as long as it’s trending above $15.16 or $14.91 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday’s high of $17.53 with volume that hits near or above 1 million shares. If we get that move soon, then UNXL will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at its 200-day moving average of $19.89.
