Top Financial Stocks To Own Right Now

New York City still hasn’t said whether “Fearless Girl” will stay.

The bronze statue, which appeared one year ago opposite the iconic charging bull near Wall Street, is guaranteed a place only through Thursday International Women’s Day.

Natalie Grybauskas, a spokesperson for Mayor Bill de Blasio, told CNN that the statue will probably stay in place for a few more days. Beyond that, she said, the city expects to announce its plans soon.

State Street Global Advisors, the financial company, installed the sculpture of the defiant girl in front of the bull for International Women’s Day 2017.

At first, she was only supposed to be there a few days. But the sculpture won overwhelming support from the public, and the city decided to extend her permit for a year.

“We’re obviously hopeful that we can arrive at some sort of a placement for her that keeps her in the public domain,” Lori Heinel, deputy global chief investment officer for State Street (STT), told CNN’s Maggie Lake on Thursday.

    It was just about one year ago that QE3 made its debut, and mortgage REITs, particularly agency-only players like Annaly Capital (NYSE: NLY  ) , Armour Residential (NYSE: ARR  ) , and American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC  ) began moaning about the increased competition for mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

    ARMOUR Residential REIT (NYSE:ARR) was the target of some unusual options trading activity on Thursday. Stock traders acquired 657 call options on the stock. This represents an increase of approximately 1,163% compared to the typical volume of 52 call options.

Best Medical Stocks To Own For 2018

Xbiotech’s potential upside vs. downside

Xbiotech (NASDAQ:XBIT) has presented the abstract of its European Phase III trial of Xilonix to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) refractory to standard treatment at the ESMO GI (European Society for Medical Oncology) 2016, early July. The abstract has shown a 76% relative increase in clinical response rate (CRR), associated with a 2.7-fold increase in median overall survival (11.5 vs. 4.2 months responders vs. non-responders), an increase in Lean Body Mass (LBM) and an improved Quality of Life (QoL) with little safety concerns, all surrogate parameters for anti-cancer activity and prolonged survival – see ESMO Press release and my previous SA article.

This abstract came under scrutiny by the discussant, an executive member of the ESMO, at the same conference, questioning whether those results “is any benefit in translating this trial into practice.” – press release ESMO .

Others, like Adam Feuerstein, right away played on the above criticism, taking down Xbiotech’s results – see here, here. In my opinion I still do not have an explanation on how Adam Feuerstein was able to tweet about the OS data before those were presented, other than receiving it from an insider. His tweet was made one day before the scheduled presentation that the Congress – see agenda to compare. In addition, neither on the presentation slide nor on the press release of the discussant issued by ESMO was a declaration of conflict of interest. It goes without saying that the discussant- obviously together with another colleague and executive director of ESMO – are biased towards Xbiotech and Xilonix. Both were prominent figures in clinical trials of Regorafenib and Lonsurf (trifluridine/tipiracil), currently the only two drugs approved for last-line treatment in mCRC refractory to standard therapy. In my opinion such a bias should have been declared. Furthermore, the discussant held several positions with big pharmaceuticals, including Regorafenib’s Bayer AG (OTCPK:BAYZF, OTCPK:BAYRY)- see CME information from Medscape.

    Greg Poole, an analyst with the firm, commented, “NRG has several diverse businesses – generation, retail, solar, clean energy technologies, and now a separate MLP-like income vehicle for contracted assets. This helps to diversify away from the seemingly perennially challenged merchant generation business, but it also results in an increasingly complex story that may pose a challenge for investors and valuation.” As such, Deutsche Bank announced it was lowering its price target from $27 to $26 a share.

    NRG Energy Inc. shares crept higher, gaining 1.11% on the day. The stock is up almost 15% YTD.

    Fund manager John Mirshekari, of the Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund, recommended shares of URS (URS), an engineering and construction contractor.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Fidelty’s John Mirshekaritook a look at URS(URS) today at the Value Investing Congress.His takeaway: The stock could double in two years.

    Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

    His analysis started with URS’s use of its free cash. During the past, it hasn’t been pretty. They spent 6.3 billion on eight acquisitions, they’ve bought companies at valuations higher than own stock and return-on-equity has dropped from high teens to just 6%.

    The problem hasn’t been its business: Its return on tangible capital is 17%. Instead, the problem is that its management hasn’t maximized value through capital allocation. URS has lowest valuation: 9x 2013 cash earnings in its industry.

    Part of the problem: Management incentives are based on net income. This year, however, relative total shareholder return was added., something Mirshekari calls”a step in the right direction.” In May, URS filed an amended proxy which says it will look to change incentives from net income to return on equity and earnings per share. More importantly, it said acquisitions would end.

    If all goes right, URS could double in two years,Mirshekari says, comparing it to AECOM Technology (ACM).

    Looks a lot like AECOMM, which did something similar and rallied.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Alex Planes]

    Visa’s long wait to go public — its IPO took place in 2008 — meant that it would not be the first credit card issuer added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) . That honor went to American Express (NYSE: AXP  ) , which earned its spot in 1982 by owning the “premium” credit card market — its 52.5 million card members spent far more in 2012 per card ($8,100 on average!) than either Visa’s ($3,500) or MasterCard’s ($3,000) card members. However, there was a certain irony in the fact that Visa, on its induction to the Dow in 2013, became one of the few companies ever added to directly replace the company that first spun it off.

    American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) delivered earnings of $1.45 per share, $0.09 above the Street’s consensus. Revenue of $8.008 billion was in line with expectations for $8.004 billion. Shares were up 3.4 percent.
