Top 10 Stocks For 2019

Leave a reply

The average investors in badly managed companies that pay executives large salaries and in which large shareholders get special perks often ask, “Where are the shareholders’ yachts”? At CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS), the answer is that there aren’t any as controlling shareholder Shari Redstone battles CEO Les Moonves for control of the company.

The value of Redstone’s position, owned via National Amusements, is in the tens of billions of dollars. Moonves made $69.3 million last year and $69.6 million in 2016. CBS has posted good earnings for several years. However, the battle is tearing the company apart, taking up extremely valuable management and board time and putting the future of CBS in question.

Shareholders need management to dig its shares out of a hole. The stock is down 15% in the past year to $52. The S&P 500 is up 15% over the same period.

Redstone would like to merge CBS with Viacom, a company her family also controls. Viacom’s shares have not done as badly as CBS’s in the past year, but the return to investors has been subpar, down 7% to $39.

    There have been some macroeconomic signs that America’s housing boom is starting to show signs of fatigue, but those figures haven’t really shown up in the earnings reports of most homebuilders. The one exception is Beazer Homes USA (NYSE:BZH). While most companies are still showing strong home sales and growing net orders, Beazer’s fiscal third-quarter results showed some cracks in its growth trajectory.

Top 10 Stocks For 2019: Lowe’s Companies Inc.(LOW)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

    Home Depot (NYSE:HD) is a classic growth stock right now. The home-improvement retailer increased sales by 7% in the past fiscal year, about double the pace of its closest rival, Lowe’s (NYSE: LOW). Its gross and operating profit margins are also significantly higher than those of its peers. In exchange for that outperformance, investors are being asked to pay 26 times earnings for Home Depot, which is a premium to the broader market at 24 and Lowe’s at 22.

  • [By Jason Hall]

    Douglass: Right. Let’s talk briefly about, we’ve talked about the home sector as this big thing. Let’s break that down a little bit, what the kind of general different ways of thinking about an approach in the home sector are. Obviously, you’ve got your direct homebuilders. We’ll get more into specifics on all these after the break. You’ve got your home builders, the folks who actually build homes. You’ve also got the Home Depots (NYSE:HD) and Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) of the world, who are good about the home maintenance and things like that. That’s been another big part. Then you also have …

    In this Motley Fool Money podcast, host Chris Hill and senior Motley Fool analysts David Kretzmann, Jason Moser, and Aaron Bush review the week in business news, and while there were some interesting (and share-price moving) earnings reports, the lead news in retail completely overshadowed the quarterly release from the company in question: word that home improvement major Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) had lured away J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) boss Marvin Ellison to be its new CEO. The Fools consider just how big a deal that is for the company, and what other catalysts are likely to move the needle for it.

  • [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

    Marvin Ellison hasn’t had many opportunities to report good news to Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) investors since he took over the CEO spot last year. The former Home Depot (NYSE:HD) executive announced a reduced sales outlook in each of his first two quarters at the helm, in fact, while noting that execution problems were hurting the chain’s sales and profit trends through most of 2018.

  • [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

    Investors shrugged off strong operating and financial results from Home Depot (NYSE:HD) last year to push the stock lower. It wasn’t that the retailing chain lost ground to rivals like Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW). On the contrary, it expanded its lead against its peer in just about every important business metric. Instead, fears of an impending slowdown in the housing industry have Wall Street worried about the near future for both companies.

Best Small Cap Stocks For 2019: National Grid Transco, PLC(NGG)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Tyler Crowe]

    National Grid (NYSE:NGG) has been about as solid of a dividend investment as any investor could ask for over the past decade.

Hot Value Stocks To Own For 2019

Leave a reply

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who promised to revolutionize blood testing, has been charged by the SEC with a “massive fraud” involving more than $700 million.

Former president Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani was also charged. The two raised money from investors “through an elaborate, years-long fraud in which they exaggerated or made false statements about the company’s technology, business, and financial performance,” the SEC said Wednesday.

Theranos and Holmes agreed to resolve the claims against them, the SEC said. Holmes will give up control of the company and much of her stake in it. The SEC said it would take its case against Balwani to federal court in San Francisco.

Theranos is a Silicon Valley startup once valued at as much as $9 billion. It was formed in 2003 to create cheaper, more efficient alternatives to traditional medical tests.

But it’s been rattled by controversy following a 2015 Wall Street Journal report that questioned its technology and testing methods. The company has since voided two years of blood tests, faced federal probes and pivoted away from blood testing.

Top 5 Clean Energy Stocks To Watch For 2019

The world’s largest automaker is putting big money into electric vehicles in China.

Volkswagen (VLKAF) and its local partners plan to invest more than 10 billion ($11.8 billion) to build electric and hybrid cars in the country — the world’s biggest auto market — over the next seven to eight years.

More electric vehicles are sold in China than anywhere else on the planet — and the national government is pushing companies to design and build them on Chinese territory.

Under the plan announced Thursday, VW and its partners are aiming to develop and produce as many as 40 new electric and hybrid vehicle models in China between now and 2025. It expects the first of the new models to hit the Chinese market next year.

VW’s top China exec, Jochem Heizmann, said the German company is “determined to be at the forefront” of China’s electric vehicle revolution.

China accounts for about 50% of the global market for clean energy vehicles, according to investment firm East Capital. Chinese officials said two months ago that they were working on a plan to eventually phase out the production and sale of vehicles powered solely by fossil fuels.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Daniel Miller]

    It’s fun to chat around the water cooler about the next big tech stock, but when it comes time to invest, people often overlook incredible companies because they aren’t household names or exciting businesses. Boring can be brilliant. And that’s why investors should stop overlooking Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE:WGO) and The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE:SMG).

    So, what were investors thinking? The guys consider the near-term and longer-term stories for the company. Then, it’s on to recreational vehicle manufacturer Winnebago(NYSE:WGO). Overall RV sales are at record highs, and sales of towables in particular are shooting upward, thanks to their popularity among two key demographics. Yet the market is still valuing Winnebago shares around 20% below where they were a year ago. Is there justification for that pessimism?
