Five semiconductor companies are in a prime position to benefit from the rollout of 5G, the fifth generation of wireless communication that telecom companies are racing to implement, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Wednesday.
“If you’re a semiconductor company with 5G exposure, this is your moment,” he said after Skyworks Solutions, an Apple supplier that fits that description, surged over 12 percent intraday after delivering its quarterly earnings results.
Skyworks’ surge was so strong that it lifted shares of other chipmakers involved in 5G, including Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Xilinx, all of which stand to benefit from the rise of 5G, Cramer said on “Mad Money.”
And while he preferred the stock of Skyworks to its peers because of its low price tag and the company’s focus on 5G, he said investors “can make the case for all five.”

Best Low Price Stocks For 2019: AltaGas Ltd. (ATGFF)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By ]
AltaGas (OTCPK:ATGFF) agreed to acquire WGL (WGL) in January 2017, and the acquisition is still pending regulatory approval in DC, which is expected mid-2018. WGL operates Washington Gas, the gas utility in the region. The interesting play here I think is AltaGas. It offers a fairly well covered 8.5%+ dividend but has been beaten down as a result of concerns over the price paid for the WGL acquisition and the debt it will be required to take on in the deal. If the WGL acquisition does not receive regulatory approval, it’s very possible that AltaGas goes up. And if WGL is approved, it’s obviously a much better acquisition if Amazon picks anywhere in the DC area, as that should fuel a significant population increase for the gas utility business (some estimates of up to 1 million over 10 to 15 years). The projected growth in the gas utility business can serve as the foundation for AltaGas’s broader operations and allow them to finance debt at more attractive levels going forward. A mere re-rating to a market AFFO multiple would lead to substantial gains from the current 10-20% discount to market AFFO multiples, and a premium driven by the growth in Washington Gas could warrant a 10-20% premium to market AFFO multiples.

If you are looking for high-yield stocks, it’s very likely that Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP) and AltaGas Ltd. (NASDAQOTH:ATGFF) will be of interest to you, sporting impressive yields of 12% and 8.3%, respectively. Often a higher yield is a good thing, but in this situation, you are probably better off going with the lower, though still robust, yield offered by AltaGas. Here’s why.
- [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Quarterly dividends are the norm in the United States, and if you’re leaning on dividend income, quarterly budgeting is different from monthly budgeting. However, there’s another option if you look hard enough, with Canadian energy companies Vermilion Energy Inc. (NYSE:VET) and AltaGas Ltd. (NASDAQOTH:ATGFF) offering both monthly dividends and sizable yields.
Best Low Price Stocks For 2019: Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.(CMG)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Chris Lange]

Wedbush downgraded Chipotle to Underperform from Neutral with a $445 price target, implying downside of about 14.5% from the current price level. The firm sees increased risk to near-term same-store sales (SSS) growth and margin expectations, with continued risk to margin expectations through 2020.

While SNAP crushed earnings and gained more than a few new followers, investors bashed shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG).
Chipotle topped earnings estimates this week. But there was plenty of bad news to go along with the burrito joint’s earnings beat. Chipotle management expects the chain to continue to suffer from decreased foot traffic and slow same-store sales growth.
Best Low Price Stocks For 2019: Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.(TTWO)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Dan Caplinger]
The video game industry has gotten crowded, and that’s put even giants like Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:TTWO) into a difficult position. Blockbuster releases like the long-awaited Red Dead Redemption 2 are instrumental for a company’s long-term success, but high expectations make it very difficult for the company to meet all of the expectations investors build up during the long wait between such releases. Sometimes, that means what appear to be strong gains nevertheless fall short of what people want to see.

Over the last decade, video game companies have churned out hit after hit across consoles, PCs, and mobile devices and it seemed giants like Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA), and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) were gobbling up most of the market share. As long as they kept the hits coming, it seemed like there wasn’t any real competition to worry about in video games. That was, until Fortnite Battle Royale.
- [By Rich Smith]
Last week, two of the biggest names in the industry, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO), both reported their financial results for the final quarter of 2018. EA reported an 11% gain in sales year over year — but missed earnings expectations big time. Boosted by the success of Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) Take-Two scored an even bigger sales gain of 160%…and also missed earnings. Both companies announced guidance well below expectations, and suffered sell-offs as a result.
