The company boasts a $2.6 billion market cap with $1.6 billion in revenue and an ROE of nearly 6%.   #-ad_banner-#The share price has suffered year-to-date with an over 10% decline, but shares have bounced solidly from the lows.  Let’s take a closer look. AVX is a leading international manufacturer and supplier of advanced electronic components, including capacitors, inductors, filters, resistors, couplers, diodes, and circuit protection devices, as well as a broad range of the innovative sensor, control, interconnect and antenna solutions. Based in South Carolina, the firm’s infrastructure includes 29 manufacturing facilities in 16 countries around the world. AVX has suffered from the loss of its Kyocera resale product resulting in slightly lower metrics, but I am very bullish for the new fiscal year.   The company acquired Ethertronics and KUMATEC recently which… Read More

Fears of higher rates have slammed stocks in the housing sector this year. The nationwide average 30-year mortgage jumped to a seven-year high of 4.61% in May from a low of 3.78% last year. The Fed has signaled more rate hikes on the way and the market is pricing in a 44% chance the FOMC raises rates three more times in 2018. #-ad_banner-#Investors have fled anything housing-related, sending the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (NYSE: ITB) plunging 12% since the beginning of the year.

The Fed has signaled more rate hikes on the way and the market is pricing in a 44% chance the FOMC raises rates three more times in 2018. #-ad_banner-#Investors have fled anything housing-related, sending the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (NYSE: ITB) plunging 12% since the beginning of the year. While rates are likely to rise further, the market is missing one very important number. This one stat could support higher home prices and activity in the sector. Share prices have fallen into value-territory and could snap back when investors realize that higher rates aren’t slowing sales for housing stocks. The One Number That Could Start Housing Stocks Building Higher The selloff in housing-related stocks this year has been brutal. The Home Construction ETF started falling just a week before the January meeting of the Fed and has erased nearly 16% of its value. And it’s not just homebuilders feeling the pain, real estate REITs are down broadly, with the Vanguard REIT ETF (NYSE: VNQ)… Read More

But this year, with recreational weed legal in California and about to become legal in Canada, the legal marijuana industry is set to EXPLODE. It could double in the next 6 months alone… And, according to Ackrell Capital, it could soon grow to $100 billion, causing the stock of many small legal marijuana companies to skyrocket! If you’re invested in the right companies, you stand to make an absolute fortune. And we’ve identified three tiny pot stocks that are expected to hand you the biggest gains. Click… Read More

If there’s any company struggling more with recent bad publicity than Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), that company would have to be AT&T (NYSE: T). The company just can’t seem to get out of its own way. Take the ongoing merger with Time Warner (Nasdaq: TWX). AT&T management believes the deal will reinforce the Direct TV purchase, which cost AT&T $67 billion. But the $85 billion price tag for TWX, including an additional $50 billion of debt, seems a bridge too far. On top of that, the company is facing stiff resistance from the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. #-ad_banner-#Now, it’s no… Read More

But the $85 billion price tag for TWX, including an additional $50 billion of debt, seems a bridge too far. On top of that, the company is facing stiff resistance from the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. #-ad_banner-#Now, it’s no surprise that the deal would face regulatory resistance. What is a surprise is why a large-cap company with the vast resources of AT&T would hire a law firm with no actual experience in handling antitrust law. Instead, they hired Daniel Petrocelli, a defense attorney best known for winning a wrongful death suit against O.J. Simpson. And while it’s possible Petrocelli could win, it’s definitely an uphill battle for an inexperienced team to go against a DOJ team with antitrust experience spanning several decades. Then there’s the revelation that AT&T paid $600,000 to Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. Ostensibly, the payment was… Read More

The Washington Times says that this technology “will change the world on a scale hardly seen in human history.” Even famed scientist Stephen Hawking agreed that “it’s about to change your life.” And this technology is set to pour $37.2 billion into this sector. But only one small company is at the center of this massive shift. Learn more now. By my estimates, the recent rally was less about more bulls jumping into the market, and more about the bears backing away after China and North Korean issues calmed a bit. With the vast majority of S&P 500 members having reported first-quarter earnings, the results and future are still a bit mixed and murky, respectfully. As of last Monday, 457 companies… Read More

Mark Twain is credited with the old axiom, “History doesn’t always repeat, but it can rhyme.” I’m a firm believer in that and right now, history is rhyming like a Dr. Seuss book. Recently, I listened to a research called hosted by RBC Capital Markets’ technical strategist Bob Dickey, an old hand in our industry. Near-term he was a bit cautious. However, his long-term view is bullish. One of my takeaways was Dickey’s long view that U.S. equity markets seem to run in 16- to 18-year secular cycles. So, the history nerd in me decided to put the old S&P… Read More

Recently, I listened to a research called hosted by RBC Capital Markets’ technical strategist Bob Dickey, an old hand in our industry. Near-term he was a bit cautious. However, his long-term view is bullish. One of my takeaways was Dickey’s long view that U.S. equity markets seem to run in 16- to 18-year secular cycles. So, the history nerd in me decided to put the old S&P 500 long chart to the test. Looking at the similar cycles (all of them effectively came out to 18 years) and applying the historical context to each period, Dickey is dead on. In modern history, it appears that 18 years of socio-political-economic challenge and upheaval is typically followed by 18 years of relative peace, economic growth and technological innovation. There’s no argument that we have been through 18 years of upheaval. Are we heading for a better stretch in which investors will enjoy an extended bull market? It’s impossible to know for sure. However, the tea leaves would… Read More

As the market wraps up first quarter earnings season, results have been undeniably good. More than three-quarters (78%) of the companies in the S&P 500 have beaten earnings expectations, the highest percentage since FactSet began tracking it in 2008.

Stocks have rebounded from February lows, but sentiment has clearly shifted. Instead of the enthusiasm for growth and optimism for future earnings, investors seem hesitant to believe shares can go much higher. Is the market’s lethargy a sign of exhaustion and a long-awaited correction or is it just consolidation as earnings catch up? More importantly, how can you be ready for either scenario? Is Investor Enthusiasm Starting To Swing The Other Way? Despite the strength in earnings, the S&P 500 is up just 3% since earnings started coming out in early April. Investors have a reason to be hesitant in their enthusiasm. Forward valuations are at 16.0 times expected earnings for the next year, a 12% premium on the 10-year average of 14.3 times multiple. That elevated forward valuation is on expected earnings growth… Read More
