2 Dividend Growth Stocks That Will Continue to See Gains
Rising market uncertainty and a prevailing low-interest-rate environment make now the appropriate time for dividend investing, we think. Applied Materials (AMAT) and Williams-Sonoma (WSM) have not only been able to pay dividends amid the pandemic but have historically increased their payouts. So, we believe these two stocks could potentially cushion one’s portfolio with a steady stream of income.
3 Work-From-Home Stocks Wall Street Loves
Despite technology stocks’ recent retreat, Wall Street analysts remain optimistic about the sector’s prospects because the demand for technology offerings is expected to remain strong given the continued adoption of hybrid work structures and the continuation of other pandemic-driven trends. That explains why tech names Twilio (TWLO), Elastic (ESTC), and Upland Software (UPLD) remain analyst favorites. Let’s discuss.
2 Health Insurance Stocks That Should See New Highs in 2021
Because the U.S. job market is expected to improve soon with the reopening of several industries, job-based health insurance coverage should gradually return to pre-pandemic levels. That is why we think UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Cigna (CI) should benefit significantly in the coming months. Let’s discuss more.
3 ETFs to Buy for the Commodity Bull Market
The COVID-19 pandemic left the commodities market reeling by disrupting supply chains and slashing demand. However, prices recovered remarkably in the second half of 2020 following positive news on the vaccine front. Now, as the world gears up for an economic recovery, we think investing in ETFs such as Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 (PDBC), Invesco DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC), and iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (GSG) could help one to ride the commodity bull market.
2 Electric Vehicle Stocks with High Short Interest
Even absent fundamental strength, the shares of many electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure companies have soared over the past year solely on investor optimism about the core electric vehicle industry. Chargepoint Holdings (CHPT) and Blink Charging (BLNK) currently have very high short interest, which indicates that investors expect these stocks to decline significantly in the near term. Let’s discuss this some more.
Buy These 2 Undervalued Gold Mining Stocks Now
The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy affected investors’ risk appetite and boosted the demand for gold for most of 2020. While equity and bond markets are now making a comeback and the United States is expected to regain pre-pandemic economic levels soon, vaccine supply concerns and the emergence of mutated viruses that are immune to the vaccines could limit the pace of economic revival. This scenario would boost undervalued gold mining companies such as Harmony Gold Mining (HMY) and Centamin (CELTF). Let’s take a closer look at the two companies.
3 ETFs to Buy for a Reopening Spending Boom
Widespread job losses and declines in personal income caused by the COVID-19 pandemic made consumers reduce their spending. Now, an improving labor market and financial aid from the government are expected to drive an increase in consumer spending going forward. We believe ETFs such as U.S. Global Jets (JETS), Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment (PEJ), and VanEck Vectors Gaming (BJK) are well-positioned to gain from the anticipated uptick in spending. Let’s take a closer look.
4 Top Growth Stocks Still Worth Buying
After experiencing a powerful rally since last March’s market correction, growth stocks have started to see a sell-off lately. However, because pandemic-driven trends are expected to continue in the foreseeable future, some growth stocks are still worth buying to benefit from their future growth. Microchip Technology (MCHP), Agilent (A), Hologic (HOLX), and PerkinElmer (PKI) are examples. They boast solid growth attributes and, we think, are well-positioned to hit new highs.
2 Small-Cap Energy Stocks to Buy for the Rebound in Oil
Oil prices have climbed back to pre-covid-19 pandemic levels in recent weeks, driven primarily by substantial OPEC+ production cuts and the resumption of industrial activity with the mass rollout of Covid-19 vaccines in major countries. The price of oil surged further after OPEC and non-OPEC ministers, in a recent meeting, agreed to hold production levels largely steady through April. Hence, we think it would be wise to bet now on ARC Resources (AETUF) and California Resources (CRC). These names are gaining handsomely with the rebound in global oil prices.
