Top 10 Stocks To Buy For 2019: El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc.(LOCO)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    The stock market came out of Labor Day weekend on a sluggish note, but it recovered ground by the end of the session to finish close to where it had started. Lingering doubts about the status of trade discussions with key trading partners initially caused major benchmarks to fall around half a percent in the morning. Once again, though, stocks proved their resiliency, and investors seemed more comfortable with the idea that corporate earnings would remain strong at least through the end of the year. Moreover, some strong showings from key stocks helped lift sentiment. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP), and El Pollo Loco Holdings (NASDAQ:LOCO) were among the best performers on the day. Here’s why they did so well.

    Earlier this summer in June, I discussed significant factors underpinning El Pollo Loco Holdings Inc’s (NASDAQ:LOCO) stock price recovery — namely, the staunching of losses originating from an ill-fated expansion in Texas and the initial actions of new CEO Bernard Acoca. Since then, shares of the citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken fast-casual chain continue to revive: With a boost from second-quarter 2018 earnings issued last month, “Loco” stock has now ascended more than 33% year to date.
