As we’re close to the end of 2022, a lot of uncertainty impedes ahead in 2023, and the obstacles faced by this world are never-ending. This year, investors had come across a sharp sale in equities, spiking yields in bonds, and considerable fluctuations in oil prices. Even though market disruption is only temporary, there is no prediction about its duration. Therefore, a long-term focus permits investors to disregard the noise from daily volatility and concentrate on building a solid portfolio.
Here are the five stocks selected by Wallstreet’s top pros, conforming to TipiRanks, a platform that ranks analysts depending on their past performance.
Nova Measuring:
Nova Measuring is a metrology solutions provider for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. It has benefitted from lower exposure to the memory market, which has suffered significant problems this year. About seventy percent of Nova’s products are from the foundry market, which has been relatively unaffected by the drop-off in the semiconductor industry this year. Mark Miller, a benchmark analyst who had recently hosted a meeting with Nova Management, showed that over the past five years, the firm acquired at a compound growth rate per annum of about 15% to 20%, surpassing its growth in WFE (Wafer fab equipment). Also, the analyst is optimistic about Nova’s prospects in this area.
Costco:
Costco’s unique business provides food and general merchandise in bulk at discounted costs through membership warehouses. The strategic investments, customer centricity, and a focus on the growth of membership have assisted the business in sustaining a tumultuous year.
Ivan Feinseth, an analyst of egress Financial Partners, said that he visualizes the consumer spending trends improving later in 2023, and this will be a tool for Costco’s top line growth. In addition, the retailer’s ongoing store growth and international expansion are also expected to push the business performance trends higher.
Amazon:
Brian White, a technology expert analyst of Monness Crespi Hardt, has always been hopeful about Amazon. However, his eyes are fixed on the company’s long-term prospects in the quick advance of digital transformation.
White is optimistic about the growth runway ahead of Amazon in the areas of e-commerce,m Amazon web services, digital media, advertising, Alexa, robotics, AI, and others. Even though there is a challenging macroeconomic environment in the near term, the lasting pandemic is expected to drive digital transformation further.
Meta:
When coming to another one of Brian White’s favorite stocks, which are the Meta platforms, the analyst stayed hopeful with a purchase rating and a $150 price target. The firm is facing a challenging year of obstacles, which are anticipated to carry on into 2023. Anyhow, in the long run, the analyst visualizes Meta reaching from the secular growth opportunities in digital ads and proceeding in innovations in the Metaverse. White expects the Facebook parent’s evaluation to go up significantly over time.
Ambarella:
Tore Svanberg, an analyst of Stifel, has recently reinforced his hopefulness on a chip company called Ambarella (AMBA). It specializes in the development and marketing of video compression and image processing solutions. As a player in the battered semiconductor industry, Ambarella’s stock has drastically dropped this year. Despite all this, Svanberg had pointed out the positives here.
The analyst visualizes the company as a leader in the video processing technology market, which is growing quickly and securely. Svanberg highlighted that Ambarella’s flow of deal wins.
