2 Semiconductor Stocks on Our Watchlist and 1 to Turn DownSemiconductors are the silicon backbone of the digital revolution. Still, they’re subject to swings in the broader economy because customers often stockpile chips ahead of demand, and investors seem to believe that inventory levels are correcting -
over the past six months, the industry has shed 16.9%. This drawdown was particularly disheartening since the S&P 500 stood firm.
3 Value Stocks in Hot WaterValue stocks typically trade at discounts to the broader market, offering patient investors the opportunity to buy businesses when they’re out of favor.
The key risk, however, is that these stocks are usually cheap for a reason – five cents for a piece of fruit may seem like a great deal until you find out it’s rotten.
1 Restaurant Stock on Our Buy List and 2 to AvoidRestaurants increase convenience and give many people a place to unwind. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows as they’re notoriously hard to run thanks to perishable ingredients, labor shortages, or volatile consumer spending.
Unfortunately, these factors have spelled trouble for the industry as it has shed 3.9% over the past six months. This performance was disappointing since the S&P 500 held steady.
3 Small-Cap Stocks in Hot WaterInvestors looking for hidden gems should keep an eye on small-cap stocks because they’re frequently overlooked by Wall Street.
Many opportunities exist in this part of the market, but it is also a high-risk, high-reward environment due to the lack of reliable analyst price targets.
1 Large-Cap Stock on Our Buy List and 2 to Brush OffLarge-cap stocks are known for their staying power and ability to weather market storms better than smaller competitors.
However, their sheer size makes it more challenging to maintain high growth rates as they’ve already captured significant portions of their markets.
1 Stock Under $50 with Exciting Potential and 2 to AvoidStocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges.

2 Internet Stocks with Solid Fundamentals and 1 to Brush OffConsumer internet businesses are redefining how people engage with the world by giving them instant connectivity and convenience. The new habits they’re cultivating are also unlocking the next leg of growth for the industry,
which has gained 7.8% over the past six months.
Investing here would have been wise - at the same time, the S&P 500 was flat.
3 Small-Cap Stocks Skating on Thin IceMany small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on.
But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors.
2 Software Stocks to Target This Week and 1 to Turn DownFrom commerce to culture, software is digitizing every aspect of our lives. The undeniable tailwinds fueling the industry have also led to strong returns for SaaS stocks lately
as they’ve gained 6.4% over the past six months.
Investing here would have been wise - at the same time, the S&P 500 was flat.
3 Industrials Stocks in the DoghouseWhether you see them or not, industrials businesses play a crucial part in our daily activities. But they are at the whim of volatile macroeconomic factors that influence capital spending (like interest rates), and the market seems convinced that demand will slow.
Due to this bearish outlook, the industry has tumbled by 8% over the past six months. This performance was disappointing since the S&P 500 stood firm.
3 Restaurant Stocks Walking a Fine LineFrom fast food to fine dining, restaurants play a vital societal role. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows as they’re notoriously hard to run thanks to perishable ingredients, labor shortages, or volatile consumer spending.
Unfortunately, these factors have spelled trouble for the industry as it has shed 3.9% over the past six months. This performance was discouraging since the S&P 500 held its ground.
