Latest Stock Buy or Sell? Make More Informed Decisions!

Today, Joe Terranova and Jenny Harrington, CEO, Gilman Hill Asset Management commented about whether AMBP-Q, SBLK-Q, XPO-N, SWKS-Q, ROST-Q, SWK-N, PEP-Q, ADM-N are stocks to buy or sell.

HOLD

Cheap PE, likes agriculture and pays a 2.2% dividend. Still likes it. If you own this already, don't add more. Instead, buy Corteva in this space.

BUY

Last Thursday, they delivered excellent earnings. They will take out their December high of $186.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

She has been researching this. Pays a 4% yield. Will buy it under $80. There will be pullbacks, because she expects the market to be rangebound this year.

SELL

Just sold it. Share are up 21% in last three months off the lows and trades at 22x earnings, but peers like Ralph Lauren are up only 12-13%. Ross is higher because of the notion that 2022's inventory surplus will be good for 2023, so share ran up in anticipation of that.

BUY

Just bought it. Trades at 12x PE with an 11% free cash flow yield. They make cell phone chips (i.e iPhones), but only 2% exposure to China. SWKS has strong inventory management, so she bought it. Growth lies in growing demand for ever-more complex chips.

COMMENT
oil stocks

She owns many oil stocks, such as Shell. Collect the dividends. As long as oil stays above $60 a barrel, these companies continue to make cash. Many trade under 10x earnings. Chevron and Exxon's PEs are getting stretched, so she prefers dividend names like Kinder-Morgan, Devon and Pioneer. Targets collecting a 12% return this year.

BUY

Is higher despite downgrades today. They spun off GXO and RXO. It now trades at 6x EBITDA vs. peers of 10x or 18x, so it's trading at a discount. XPO gained market share last quarter. Shares ran up 32% year to date before earnings, but expectations were so high, so shares fell back after the report. Still, it's cheap vs. peers and run by superior management.

HOLD

Never trade this, because most of your return here comes from the dividend, a variable 20% divvy. Hold this at least one year.

BUY

Trades at a cheap 14x earnings, pays a 7.5% dividend and boasts strong cash flow.

DON'T BUY

Bank of America called Meta defensive today. That's ludicrous. Meta is still betting the farm on the metaverse, a great unknown. Neither $118 nor the current $180 share prices are right, though. These megatechs are overbought.

PARTIAL BUY
oil strategy

He added shares last week, because he was under water this name. Energy remains long-term uninvestible, but it is tradable for 6-12 months. Oil has major down cycles, but last year was great (and he missed it). Oil can still fall to $60 a barrel, but you can still lose your shirt with oil.

WAIT

It's economically sensitive. A tremendous value creator. Has always been a dirt-cheap stock that he once owned, and will own again, just not now. The money will go more towards FedEx and UPS, though.

COMMENT
Caller bought July 280 puts that expire 2024

Not thrilled by this, because you must be correct in timing and price, and you lose time value. Maybe you make money or don't. Don't hold till expiration. Would rather short stocks on the Nasdaq that are still overvalued.

BUY

They reported a mixed quarter and was downgraded, and yet shares went up. He expects it to extend far past $100.

COMMENT

Believes energy the most under valued sector in the market. 
Important to value individual stocks, rather than worrying about macro issues. 
Company fundamentals more important than inflation/interest rates concerns. 
Opportunities in tech with recent market sell off.
Investors must be careful when buying, even at the bottom of the market.
Investors willing to put in the work to uncover cash generating stocks - will be rewarded. 
Utility sector presenting good buying opportunities with rising interest rates (recent selloff).
