7 Cheap Stocks to Buy for 2021 That Deserve Recognition

InvestorPlace – Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips

Investing in cheap stocks can seem fail-proof. And to be sure, the underlying logic is sound.

Early investors should seek out equities that are fundamentally undervalued, and others will follow as the strength of said equities becomes more apparent. Then the underlying equity rises in price concurrently with demand and investors benefit via price appreciation. 

But the world doesn’t work in such easily identifiable patterns. If it — or at least,  the investment world as a microcosm of the larger world — did, then Benjamin Graham would be all the rage on Wall Street. Further, many of the growth stocks that dominate our daily media headlines wouldn’t receive much investment interest, because these stocks are anything but “cheap”. 

Which leads me to my next point, or rather a question: how can investors objectively define a subjective term like cheap? After

3 Cheap Real Estate Stocks to Buy in December

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

With the market up near all-time highs, it’s getting hard to find cheap stocks, but you can do it if you look in the right places. Right now, that includes retail landlords like Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) and Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE: FRT), as well as net lease player W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC). The first two will probably take a strong stomach to own, but the third is a real estate investment trust (REIT) even the most conservative investor could easily love. Here’s a quick rundown on each.

A giant in the hard-hit mall sector

Simon Property Group owns around 200 enclosed malls and outlet centers. The coronavirus has not been kind to its business, with the REIT collecting just 85% of the rent owed in the third quarter. Funds from operations (FFO), which is like earnings for an industrial company, was off by 33% year over year

3 Reasons Mastercard Is a Buy

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

Like many businesses, Mastercard (NYSE:MA) has felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising unemployment and social distancing measures have reduced consumer spending in many key markets, from entertainment to travel. As a result, Mastercard’s revenue has dropped over 10% during the first nine months of 2020. But for investors willing to see past the present, Mastercard’s culture of innovation and operational excellence positions the company for strong growth in the years ahead. Here are three reasons why Mastercard looks set to succeed.

1. An enormous market opportunity

During Mastercard’s most recent Investment Community Meeting, management detailed the company’s $235 trillion opportunity, which spans three distinct payment markets.

These quality stocks have dived since June. I’d buy these cheap shares today

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

From June, the FTSE 100 index zigzagged downwards, losing ground as rising Covid-19 infections worried investors. By Halloween, the Footsie had dropped 590 points — almost a tenth (9.6%) — as share prices drifted downwards. Then came a near-record month, with cheap shares staging a massive comeback and the FTSE 100 leaping by almost an eighth (12.4%) in November. However, not all stocks rose in this relief rally, with several quality companies lagging behind.

Bottom-fishing for cheap shares

From early June until today, 29 FTSE 100 members have seen their share prices decline. The worst performer has crashed by almost a quarter (24.1%), while the best of these 29 losers had its share price dip by just 0.3%. Overall, the average decline among these laggards is 9%, with 12 stocks recording higher falls than this. I see this ‘dirty dozen’ as fertile ground for bottom-fishing — finding unloved and cheap

When doing your holiday shopping, it’s easy to grab gift cards from Starbucks, Target and other big corporate chains.

Verizon Stock Is ‘Simply Too Cheap’ Not to Buy, Analyst Says

“Verizon’s strategic position isn’t nearly so dire as AT&T’s.”

Verizon Communications

shares received a boost Wednesday from MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett, who lifted his rating on the telecom giant to Buy from Neutral and changed his price target on the stock to $66 from $59.

His core thesis is that with the stock trading at just half of the broader market’s price/earnings ratio,

Verizon

shares (ticker: VZ) are “simply too cheap.”

Moffett isn’t exactly a raging bull on Verizon, but he does see room for the stock to gain ground from here, even as the company continues to lose market share to

T-Mobile US

(TMUS), which he continues to recommend. He also maintains his Sell rating on

AT&T

(T), which he sees as losing market share to both of its rivals and which is hampered by considerable leverage.

Moffett notes that T-Mobile’s combination

Stocks to buy, top defense & aerospace stock picks for 2021, JPMorgan

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

The defense sector has been one of the worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic, not least because of huge cuts to government spending. At the end of October, the sector’s average price-to-earnings ratio hit a 20-year relative low against the European market, according to JPMorgan.

But sentiment on the sector started to turn last month when UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the country’s biggest defense investment since the end of the Cold War.

Johnson has promised an extra £16.5 billion in addition to the annual budget, which is almost £41.5 billion, or $55.4 billion, for this financial year.

The announcement of the UK’s increased spending, combined with the outlook for Europe and the US, has fed into JPMorgan analysts’ positive view on the defense-and-aerospace sector.

As part of JPMorgan’s Europe and Global equity outlook released Monday, the equity analyst David Perry provided insight into the sector exploring the current

Shoppers Who Shun Credit Cards Will Still Borrow $20 for Candy

Consumers are flocking to buy-now, pay-later offers as online shopping surges in response to the pandemic. Soaring unemployment has left struggling consumers looking for ways to pay without busting their budgets. That has prompted a surge in interest in options that let consumers split up their purchases into smaller payments. Afterpay and its rivals—brands like Klarna and Sezzle and Quadpay—are now featured across thousands of merchants’ websites, with small ads popping up as consumers check out, encouraging them to pay off their purchases in installments.
