Hot Performing Stocks To Watch Right Now

Under Armour shares jumped Monday after an upgrade by Deutsche Bank, which cited its “robust” international growth.

Shares of the sportswear retailer surged 4.5 percent following the analyst’s note.

Analyst Paul Trussell upgraded shares of Under Armour to hold from sell, arguing that its “rapidly growing” international business could help balance sluggish sales in North America.

“First-quarter and fiscal year 2018 earnings are attainable in our view, reflecting improved sell-through of new products and a commitment to cost reduction,” Trussell wrote in a note to clients Monday. “While North American wholesale trends continue to face pressure, new accounts partially offset and we believe international growth remains robust as we note Under Armour’s peers in the athletic space recently produced outsized growth overseas, particularly in China.”

    Three Stocks to Watch Today: FB, AAPL, TSLA
    Shares of Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) are under pressure after another government took action on the social media giant’s data policies. German regulators announced yesterday that they would limit the company’s ability to collect and combine consumer data and target advertising across all of its services. This ruling could make it far more difficult for the firm if it integrates the messaging platforms of Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) are in focus after news broke that it shifted its modem chip engineering team from its supply chain to its internal hardware group. Reuters suggests that it is aiming to develop modem chips in-house after years of buying them from companies like Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC). Such a change could bolster company profits in a big way in the future. Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald argues that Apple stock is a bargain right now. It’s just one of several that tap into the unstoppable investment trends that can make you very rich. Learn more right here. On Monday (Feb. 4), Tesla Inc.

Chesapeake Energy (CHK) management announced a $2 billion sale of the Utica Shale operations recently. Mr. Market reacted very coolly to this debt reduction progress. All kinds of wonderful company valuations had been bandied about prior to the latest announcement. Somehow actual sales tend to fall below some very optimistic expectations. Plus now the market will begin to value Chesapeake Energy as a going concern. Therefore growing production and cash flow will be paramount objectives. However, continuing significant sales to pay down debt send both continuing cash flow and remaining production in the wrong direction. Mr. Market appears to be losing patience just when management appears to be finally solving many of the company’s inherited problems from a past chief executive officer.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Own Right Now: Compass Minerals Intl Inc(CMP)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

    Compass Minerals International, Inc. (NYSE:CMP) is often listed as a miner, but the salt and fertilizer it produces are a bit different than what most investors think of when they hear the word “miner.” That makes Compass something of an odd duck and results in it being off of most investors’ radar screens. A tough 2017 is another net negative. That’s a shame, since it currently sports a yield of more than 4.4%, and the business outlook is improving. Here’s what investors are missing out on with this high-yield stock.
