RELY – While the stock market witnessed a strong rebound last week, it is set to close its worst first half in decades. However, Wall Street analysts expect Remitly Global (RELY), Oportun Financial (OPRT), and LendingTree (TREE) to double in the upcoming months. So, it could be worth adding these stocks to your watchlist. Read on….

Although the most widely followed indices witnessed a comeback last week, the stock market is bracing to close the worst first half of a year in decades. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 5.4% last week, the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 6.5% and 7.5%, respectively.

Many strategists expect quality bottomed-out stocks to make the most of the occasional rebounds. Moreover, as portfolio managers rebalance their portfolios at the end of the second quarter, stocks could increase 7% this week, according to JPMorgan Chase analyst  Marko Kolanovic. On top of it, Bank of America Corp. (BAC) analysts expect the next bull market to see S&P 500 trading at 8,900 by February of 2028.

Amid this backdrop, Wall Street analysts expect Remitly Global, Inc. (RELY), Oportun Financial Corporation (OPRT), and LendingTree, Inc. (TREE) to double in the upcoming months. Hence, these stocks might be solid additions to one’s watchlist.
