On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, David Sekera and Susan Dziubinski catch up on which countries have and haven’t inked trade deals with President Trump and speculate whether the Fed will or won’t cut interest rates in September. They also discuss which company earnings to watch this week (Eli Lilly LLY is one) and recap how several former stock picks look after earnings. 

They cover new research from Morningstar about four members of the Magnificent Seven that reported earnings last week—including the one that got a 20% fair value upgrade after earnings. And this week’s stock picks include a handful of undervalued stocks with significant upside potential.
