Hot Growth Stocks To Buy Right Now

Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton to become president of the United States…and the market took it in stride.

And then some. The S&P 500 climbed 3.8% this week after dipping 0.1% to 2,164.45 today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 5.4% this week after advancing 39.78 points, or 0.2%, to 18,847.66 today, a new record high. The Nasdaq Composite gained 3.8% this week after rising 0.5% to 5,237.11 today.

Economist A. Gary Shilling doesn’t think Trump’s victory is “a watershed event.” He explains why:

As for equities, the initial euphoria is no doubt overdone. As Congress grinds through Trump’s proposals, many will likely be considerably watered down. And rising protectionism is already in place, and massive fiscal stimuli were already in the cards. Tax cuts, though not on the scale Trump proposes, seem likely, regardless of unjustifiable hopes that they’ll stimulate enough economic growth to finance themselves. The Fed will probably finance massive fiscal stimuli, but deficits in the annual $1.5 trillion range will probably make Congress cautious, much as they were in the late 2000s.

    Sometimes simply meeting expectations isn’t enough for Wall Street. Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) shareholders experienced this firsthand after the company’s stock dropped despite the retailer announcing a return to sales growth and improving profitability.

  • [By Joseph Griffin]

    Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) had its price objective lowered by equities researchers at Telsey Advisory Group from $62.00 to $58.00 in a research note issued to investors on Monday, Marketbeat Ratings reports. The brokerage presently has an “outperform” rating on the athletic footwear retailer’s stock.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Logan Wallace]

    Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE: SHLX) and Valero Energy Partners (NYSE:VLP) are both mid-cap oils/energy companies, but which is the better stock? We will contrast the two businesses based on the strength of their profitability, valuation, earnings, dividends, risk, analyst recommendations and institutional ownership.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Thanks in part to higher oil prices, the average energy stock in the S&P 500 is up nearly 17% over the past year. However, those improving market conditions haven’t taken the entire sector higher. Three laggards that stand out are fast-growing, high-yielding MLPs Antero Midstream Partners (NYSE:AM), Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), and EQT Midstream Partners (NYSE:EQM), which have all lost more than 10% of their value over the past year. Because of that, these MLPs look like compelling options for income-seeking investors to consider.

    Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX) last issued its earnings results on Thursday, August 2nd. The pipeline company reported $0.35 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the Zacks’ consensus estimate of $0.34 by $0.01. Shell Midstream Partners had a net margin of 74.14% and a negative return on equity of 295.18%. The company had revenue of $129.30 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $120.71 million. During the same period last year, the company posted $0.18 earnings per share. The firm’s quarterly revenue was up 29.8% compared to the same quarter last year. sell-side analysts predict that Shell Midstream Partners LP will post 1.18 earnings per share for the current year.

    There’s an interesting dichotomy here, however. Crestwood was looking to stay financially disciplined, but it also needed to invest to grow. Doing both at the same time is difficult, which is why it partnered up with Con Ed in the Marcellus region, Shell Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:SHLX) and First Reserve in the Delaware Basin, and Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) in the Powder River basin. These agreements allow Crestwood to keep expanding its business without having to foot the entire bill for the investments.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Buy Right Now

Natural gas for transportation leader Clean Energy Fuels Corp (NASDAQ:CLNE) has steadily grown and improved the quality of its business and business results over the past several years. Today’s Clean Energy Fuels is leaner, has a stronger balance sheet, and is in a solid position as a market leader in a growth industry.

But is the stock undervalued? By one metric, book value per share, it looks downright cheap. But management used a massive amount of stock to make ends meet over the past 18 months, destroying a significant amount of shareholder value in the process. Still, the loss of an important tax credit will have multimillion-dollar implications, and the sale of a very profitable part of the business raises questions about the company’s ability to generate positive cash flows this year.

Best Clean Energy Stocks To Buy Right Now: Ford Motor Company(F)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Paul Ausick]

    Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) traded down about 3.4% Monday and posted a new 52-week low of $10.35 after closing Friday at $10.71. The stock’s 52-week high is $13.48. Volume was around 67 million, nearly 65% above the daily average of about 40 million shares. The company had no specific news.

  • [By ]

    Ford (F) has been under pressure lately. Shares are off almost 10% since the calendar flipped to January 2018, underperforming the broad market in a meaningful way. But shares could finally be about to offer investors an about-face.

  • [By ]

    Shares of the Corvette maker have tanked about 10% in 2018, lagging the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s 1.4% drop. Not helping GM, and rivals such as Ford (F) and Chrysler (FCAU) , has been the ongoing shift towards SUVs from passenger cars and the rise of car-sharing. That has left Detroit’s ‘Big 3’ automakers with bloated cost structures that will have to be addressed somehow. If it isn’t, the automakers are likely looking at years of pressured profits and stock prices. 

  • [By ]

    And then there is a leaked letter from Musk proclaiming a profit gusher is about to open up the likes of which Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) have never seen. Shout out to auto site Electrek for getting its hands on a letter Musk sent to employees this week, promising big things (profits, for one) and a quick ramp in Model 3 production. Yours truly came away with this thought: Tesla is horribly managed, lacks key processes and is badly in need of executive level leadership throughout.

  • [By John Rosevear]

    Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) reported net income of $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2018, up 9% from a year ago, an increase more than explained by a lower effective tax rate, the company said. Ford’s pre-tax result was down modestly on higher costs for key commodities and unfavorable exchange-rate movements.

Top 5 Safest Stocks To Buy For 2019

When your firm is known for its dividend safety and is primarily held by retirees and other income-seekers, the worst thing you can do is cut your dividend. Pipelines were supposed to be safe tollways that produced plenty of cash flows. So, when the oil bust hit Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) hard and the firm was forced to cut its dividend back in 2015, investors pretty much abandoned Kinder Morgan stock.

Kinder Morgan stock has pretty much languished since that fateful day. But it might not be languishing anymore.

Moves to right the ship at Kinder Morgan have begun to work and KMI has finally given long-suffering shareholders what they wanted all the time — a big return to dividend growth. With its latest mega-sized increase, Kinder Morgan stock is once again on top of the dividend pile. For income-seekers, this could mean that shares could finally be a big-time buy.

Needed Cut at Kinder Morgan

It’s no secret that the oil slump hurt all manner of energy stocks. And while the pipeline players were supposed to be the safest of the bunch, it turns out they were hit just as hard. Or harder, as was the case at Kinder Morgan.

Top 5 Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now

In what would be a blow to American aerospace giant Boeing, Delta Air Lines is set to order around 100 jetliners from European rival Airbus, according to two people familiar with the deal.

Atlanta-based Delta will announce a deal later Wednesday for the Airbus A321neo, the sources said. The agreement with Airbus maker will be accompanied by a planned purchase of Pratt & Whitney engines, they added.

Spokespeople for Delta (DAL)and Airbus declined to comment. Boeing (BA) said it had no comment. Delta’s board of directors is expected to meet Wednesday to vote on the Airbus purchase, the sources said.

Delta had been talking to Boeing about buying around 100 of its 737 Max 10 airliners, a person familiar with the matter said.

The move comes a day after Canada announced plans to ditch a deal with Boeing for new F/A-18 Super Hornets in favor of used fighters from Australia.

Boeing and Delta are embroiled in an ongoing trade dispute over the airline’s purchase of the smaller Canadian Bombardier C Series. Boeing has accused Bombardier of selling the C Series to Delta at unfairly low prices, and the U.S. Commerce Department has recommended a preliminary 300% tariff on the import of the jets. Bombardier and the Canadian government deny any unfair trade practices.

    One of the primary reasons for the extreme moves in DryShips and other shipping stocks is a combination of large short positions in the stocks and extremely low share counts. DryShips in particular lowered its share count from around 672 million to only around 1 million via a series of reverse stock-splits throughout the year. The splits were intended to allow the stock to maintain its Nasdaq listing after it had lost more than 98 percent of its value in the first 10 months of 2016.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2019

At Money Morning, we’ve always viewed the mainstream financial world and Wall Street with skeptical eyes. While we’re not contrarians for the sake of being against the grain, we realize that analysts and so-called “experts” frequently get things wrong…

For example, remember when Jim Cramer, famed host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” urged viewers to get out of Hewlett Packard Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) stock on Nov. 20, 2012, citing bad corporate culture and other issues?

Over the next six months, after bottoming out at $12.44 per share on Nov. 23, HPQ shot up over 100% to $30 per share. (To date, shares are up 20.5% since Cramer’s call.) The stock’s surge was from investors speculating the company would make a turnaround. Investors that followed Cramer’s advice missed out on triple-digit gains.

The splits were intended to allow the stock to maintain its Nasdaq listing after it had lost more than 98 percent of its value in the first 10 months of 2016.

Unfortunately, the homebuilder reported that its unit sales, and that its backlog of homes on order, were down from the year-ago period in the fourth quarter — not a positive metric considering the general strength of the new homes market and the company’s success in expanding and growing in recent years.
