Best Undervalued Stocks To Invest In 2019

Leave a reply

I wrote about Eldorado Gold (NYSE:EGO) before, as I found the company to be undervalued. Since then, the reality has improved, but the stock price has significantly declined. I find this to be a very interesting opportunity for “investors of Graham-and-Doddsville” how to benefit from a supposedly “efficient stock market”. You can find my first article here.

Short description

Eldorado Gold is a gold exploration, development and mining company. It has operations and ongoing exploration and development projects in Turkey, Greece, Canada, Romania, Serbia and Brazil. Currently, the company has four producing mines, which produced 293,000 ounces (oz) of gold in 2017, for all-in sustaining costs of 920$/oz. Proven and probable reserves in Eldorado Gold’s mines are approximately 17 million oz. of gold. The company is based in Canada but trades on the NYSE, and also on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol – ELD).

    Today, Bill offers our readers a few of his favorites as Trump meets with Kim Jong Un. Here’s how to cash in regardless of how this summit turns out in the long run.

    The Top Stock Market Stories for Tuesday
    Last night, President Trump met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore. This was the first meeting between a sitting American president and a North Korean leader. Following the agreement, analysts noted that the document signed by both parties included no concrete details for achieving denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. Trump responded to criticism by saying he is fully confident that the Korean dictatorship will follow through. A U.S. district court will rule on whether to approve an $85 billion merger between AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX). The decision comes after about six weeks of debate in a courtroom. The ruling will likely have a significant impact on the proposed bid by The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) for media giant Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. (NYSE: FOXA). The Fed Open Market Committee kicks off its June meeting today. The U.S. central bank is expected to raise interest rates for the second time in 2018. On Wednesday, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will likely announce a hike of 0.25% to the benchmark rate to 2%. This would also mark the seventh hike since December 2015. Markets will be looking for clues during Powell’s conference to determine how many additional times the Fed plans to raise interest rates during the final six months of the year.

    Advanced materials are loosely defined as those designed with enhanced properties that improve on traditionally used materials. A broader definition includes materials seeing increased demand due to advanced technologies. For example, if you want to reduce the weight of aircraft (while also increasing strength) then Hexcel Corp. (NYSE: HXL) advanced composites are going to come in handy. Similarly, if you believe in the future of electric vehicles then the lithium produced by Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB) (used in batteries) will surely come into high demand in the future. Moreover, if you want to invest in companies that provide technology to materials processors then high-performance laser manufacturer IPG Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: IPGP) is well worth a look. Here’s the investment case for all three.

Big Pharma has a new contender to worry about…

Tech giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) has hired a small team of biomedical science engineers to develop revolutionary blood sugar sensors, according to an April 13 report by CNBC.

In fact, the team has been quietly developing the devices since before the death of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

If successful, the advance could help millions of diabetes patients and turn the Apple Watch – which the sensors are rumored to pair with – from a “nice to have” into a “must have.”

And now, at a time when Big Pharma has been put under the spotlight for exuberant drug costs, unfair pricing practices, and outrageous CEO behavior, Apple may be in the perfect position to snap up market share…

GameStop (NYSE:GME) shareholders: Do you feel lucky? The brick-and-mortar video game retailer currently trades at a ridiculously low price-to-earnings ratio of 4.5 times next year’s estimated earnings, with a dividend yield over 10%. A valuation that low is usually ominous, suggesting investors believe GameStop’s earnings will rapidly decline in the coming years.

There’s reason to be nervous. GameStop is facing the daunting prospect of remaining a brick-and-mortar retailer of physical video games, in an age in which traffic is migrating online and more games are being released in downloadable formats. There isn’t really a great solution to the problem and the company announced in mid-June that it is “in exploratory discussions with third parties regarding a potential transaction.” Leading up to that announcement, But GameStop’s strategy seems to have been to prudently decrease its store footprint, while also diversifying into non-video game products.

In early June, GameStop unveiled its newest attempt at diversification, announcing it would begin selling comic books in a 40-store trial.
