These companies are flying under the radar and have a long runway to grow. Investing isn’t about living in the past, but buying companies that will do well in the future. You want to buy stocks that can grow sales and earnings while also trading at a reasonable valuation. A tough task, especially when the broad S&P 500 index is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) close to all-time highs.

Investing.com — As the U.S. election approaches, Bank of America analysts examined its potential impact on Consumer Finance stocks in a recent research memo. The bank argued that while policy differences exist between candidates, “the health of the broader U.S. economy” will ultimately be more influential in driving sector fundamentals, particularly regarding unemployment and consumer financial health. One significant area of concern is said to be the regulatory environment surrounding mergers and acquisitions, particularly the anticipated Capital One (COF) and Discover Financial Services (NYSE:) merger. Although Capital One remains confident about closing the deal in early 2025, BofA notes that “the…

Investing.com — UBS economists expect the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to continue its easing cycle with two anticipated rate cuts in December 2024 and March 2025. These adjustments, expected to lower the policy rate from 1.00% to 0.50%, come in response to persistently low inflation, which has dropped below 1% and is expected to remain under this threshold into 2025. UBS notes that keeping the policy rate at its current level would create a restrictive stance. “In our view, such a monetary policy stance would not be warranted in an environment where inflation is expected to settle at the lower…

While Wood has earned her share of media coverage, I’ll admit that sometimes I find her investment takes to be somewhat far-fetched. Recently, I noticed that Ark Invest has added a significant chunk to its position in electric takeoff and landing company Archer Aviation (ACHR 11.14%). With shares of Archer trading for just $3.26 as of this writing, is Wood getting a good deal? Let’s dig in and find out. Cathie Wood’s going big on Archer, but……
Image source: Getty Images Named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, the ‘Buffett Indicator’ is a market valuation metric that divides the total market-cap of US stocks by the country’s GDP.
