TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Petrobras (PBR) is the national energy company of Brazil.  The company released its strategic plan to 2050 and it emphasizes a renewed growth in capital projects along with a large distribution to share holders ($55 bn by 2029).  It trades at 6x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 29% ROE.  We like that cash reserves are growing.  The healthy dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 60% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $12, looking to achieve $18 -- upside potential over 25%.  Yield 6.5%  

(Analysts’ price target is $18.24)

ASO is a retailer of outdoor sporting goods in the US.  It trades at 8x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 25% ROE.  The company just announced a large share buyback program, while recent earnings show cash reserves growing as debt is retired and shares bought back.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $37, looking to achieve $61 -- upside potential over 21%.  Yield 0.8%

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

This french pharma company, developer of treatments for MS, myeloma and dermatitis (among many other products) is a TOP PICK.  It trades at 25x earnings, under 2x book value and supports a 27% ROE.  Cash reserves are being prudently used to reduce long term debt and the company is also buying back shares.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $42, looking to achieve $58 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 4.2%

COMMENT
Trump 2.0 different from 1.0.

Last time he got into power, he cut regulations and lowered taxes. That was all stimulative to the market. Could be different this time, as this time he's going to be doing a lot of cost-cutting. That will have a negative impact on the economy.

A lot of people don't realize the lags that take place, and we don't know how fast these things are going to happen. His guess is that cost-cutting will come right up front because the current administration has been hiring a lot of employees. That will start to weigh on the economy, though some say it will be better in the long run.

There's a lot of back and forth, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

COMMENT
US will have a pro-growth agenda.

He does, but to get there it will require some lumps. If we see freezing in government hiring and spending, in the short term those things will be deflationary, putting downward pressure on the economy. People aren't expecting this. Longer term, it's a good thing because it allows the economy to be more productive. He's optimistic that things will work out long term.

COMMENT
Markets lumpy in 2025.

Yes. They are rich here at this level, so he doesn't see huge gains. 2023 saw over a 20% gain in the S&P 500, and here we are again. Doubts that we can do it again. Sees the market being positive, but there's going to be a whole lot of moving around based on the narrative surrounding Trump. It'll be sometimes positive, sometimes negative.

Semiconductor space.

It's changed a bit. Did really well in first half of 2024. 2H saw software stocks take off. Semiconductors have pulled back.

WEAK BUY
NVIDIA Corporation

Semiconductors have pulled back since 1H. This name's done OK, but not the huge outperformance it had before. Technicals still show an upward trend, which is positive. Unless it breaks the trend, it's positive; look for that before you take action. Watch $130 level, as that's where the trend would be broken.

If the market rallies, NVDA will participate as well. So he's positive in the short term.

BUY
Tesla Inc

Huge base forming for over a year, and we've broken above that. Positive development. Now back to where we were in 2022. When it breaks out, tend to go with it as long as it's rising.
