  • 2 Stocks to Buy, 1 Stock to Sell

    In this episode, MarketBeat contributor Chris Markoch returns. He and Kate discuss three stocks Chris has been evaluating in light of the escalating Russia-Ukraine crisis. Chris discusses two stocks to buy, and one to sell.

    Points discussed in this episode:

    -Markets hate uncertainty: This is a time when investors need to be very careful; things can change quickly. Volatility is likely to be around for some time
    -You have to invest for how things are; not how you might want them to be. Some sectors will perform well. You owe it to yourself to invest where the growth is.

    Stocks to Buy:

    Energy Sector: Chevron (NYSE:CVX)
    ● Stock is up approximately 14% since the invasion (2/24)
    ● Record free cash flow in 2021
    ● “significant” debt pay down
    ● Higher dividends for 34 consecutive years
    ● Continued plans for share buybacks
    Cybersecurity Sector: Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW)
    ● Up approximately 15% since the invasion (2/24)
    ● Top cybersecurity pick by Morgan Stanley – believes PANW stock will outperform sector
    ● Beat on top and bottom lines in February 21 – days before the invasion
    ● Significant analyst price target increases
    Stock to Sell: John Deere (DE)
    ● Love the long-term story but short-term outlook looks challenging
    ● Deere’s presence in Russia spans 130 years
    ● In 2018, they announced plans to expand Russian operations
    ● In September 2021, agribusiness was rated one of the most promising sectors of Ukraine’s economy
    ● Both countries are important fertilizer producers

  • Are We In An Energy Bull Market? With Fund Manager Eric Nuttall

    In this episode, Kate Stalter talks with energy fund manager Eric Nuttall, who gives his view on the broad sector as it stands now, and how he’s investing with an eye toward the future. He shares the metrics he uses to evaluate stocks, along with the mistakes many investors make when viewing the oil-and-gas industry.

    Are we in an energy bull market?

    What are the risks to the energy sector right now?

    What disruptions to the energy market has caused volatility, and which ones still present challenges?

    Is growth or return in the energy sector the driver for institutional investors right now?

    How are ESG pressures affecting oil-industry stocks’ growth vs. free cash flow?

    How much are stock prices dependent on the underlying commodity?

    What factors are behind the financial underpinnings of oil prices?

    Eric has written that “panic creates opportunity.” How does he see that playing out in the oil market today?

    When is the best time to make money from energy?

    Why it’s important to have conviction in your investment-analysis thesis, even if others disagree.

    Is the broad market writing the obituary for oil too soon?

    Just because others don’t see it, doesn’t mean opportunity is not there. You can quickly figure out how much free cash flow a company can generate to evaluate an opportunity.

    How does Eric view the dislocation between free cash flow and valuations of oil stocks?

    Should you invest in energy stocks individually, or through a fund?

    How should investors incorporate a specialty sector fund into their allocation?

    Should you incorporate long-term demand and pricing pressure into your analysis?
