Well-performing stocks that are regularly profitable and have promising long-term growth potential – but whose stock price is low compared to many of their industry rivals – are considered “undervalued stocks.” I’ve covered the undervalued before, but not only has it been long enough that it’s appropriate for me to revisit, but it’s arguably the absolute right time to do so. These stocks can be fantastic choices for disciplined buy-and-hold individuals prepared to wait for hidden bargains.
Although investors are constantly looking for a good deal, it’s crucial to remember that certain stocks are considered “cheap” for a reason. It might be because a firm has dwindling growth trends, it’s losing its profitability, or it is losing clients to the competition. Regardless, even if these stocks trade at meager prices, they shouldn’t necessarily be seen as cheap (thus the term “value traps”). I did quite a bit of research and narrowed the field I had down to three I liked the most based on financial track records, year-over-year growth, dividends, resilience, and overall performance.
With that said, join me while I break down hopefully everything you need to know about these buy-rated tickers. Economists agree that these are wise additions to our portfolios:
EQT Corp (EQT)
EQT Corp (EQT) is a natural gas-producing firm in the United States. Natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) such as ethane, butane, propane, isobutane, and natural gasoline are all produced by EQT. It has 25.0 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil reserves as of December 31, 2021. It is spread across roughly 2.0 million gross acres, including 1.7 million in the Marcellus area. EQT was established in 1878 and is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
EQT reported solid second-quarter earnings this year, posting EPS GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) of $0.83 per share and sales of $2.53 billion, which rank above Wall Street estimates. EQT beat EPS projections by 4.53% and revenue by 54.64%. In the last year, EQT’s stock has increased by 153%. Year-over-year growth for EQT looks great: Revenue – 213.41%; Net Income – 195.51%; EPS – 165.57%; Net Profit Margin – 130.47%. EQT currently has a dividend yield of 1.29%, with a quarterly payout of 15 cents per share. The median consensus price target for EQT is 61.00, with a high of 102.00 and a low of 46.00. The estimate represents a 36.68% increase from current pricing, and there is much confidence surrounding EQT’s buy rating.
ASML Holding NV (ASML)
ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) designs, manufactures, markets, sells, and services sophisticated semiconductor devices for memory and logic chipmakers, including metrology, lithography, and related inspection equipment. ASML also offers extreme UV lithography systems. ASML is the industry leader in photolithography equipment, which is used to imprint circuitry layouts into silicon wafers. ASML was established in 1984 and is based in Veldhoven, the Netherlands.
In recent years, ASML has grown sales at more than 20% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) while maintaining a net profit margin of around 30%. ASML has also fallen over 40% year to date as the emphasis has shifted from growth to value. Notably, ASML has bested Wall Street experts’ earnings forecasts for the last two fiscal quarters, Q1 and Q2 of 2022. Last quarter, ASML beat EPS by 0.39% and revenue by 1.63%. The quarter prior, ASML showed EPS and revenue beats by margins of 2.79% and 1.67%, respectively. ASML is showing year-over-year numbers displaying growth in all the crucial spots. ASML presently has a dividend yield of 1.57%, with an impressive quarterly payout of $1.85 per share. The consensus median estimate on ASML’s price target is 600.00, with a high of 794.00 and a low of 472.00. The forecast shows a 35.01% increase, and ASML’s buy rating feels well-earned.

Read Next – Beware the morning of September 30, 2022….
If it feels like you’re working harder than ever, saving more… AND GETTING LESS.
If it feels like no matter how well your investments do, you’re falling further and further behind…
I’ve got some news for you…
Trust your instincts.
You’re absolutely right.
Which is why I’m urging all Americans to get ready for Friday, September 30th.
Most Americans don’t know the REAL REASON things have gotten so warped in America…
They don’t know why the system is working great for a select few…
But is a complete disaster for everyone else.
Most don’t know how this Friday, September 30th could be a major turning point for your financial future.
I’m in a unique position to know why…
Hi, my name is Louis Navellier.
42 years ago I was a federal banking regulator.
I saw from the inside how the government corrupted the value of our money…
I saw how it destroyed the little guy… and made the rich richer.
I learned why my blue-collar parents worked so hard in the 1970s, but never got ahead.
So I did what any self-respecting, hardworking American would do…
I quit.
With some saved-up cash—and an idea about how the markets really worked…
I started my own investment firm.
Over time, my beliefs about money, hard work, and fiscal responsibility — which my father instilled in me from a young age — were proven correct.
Today, my firm, Navellier & Associates, manages over $2 billion in assets. Some 200 pension and institutional money managers have entrusted us with their money.
Look…
I definitely DO NOT believe America’s best days are behind us.
That said… as a family man who’s spent more than 40 years at the apex of Wall Street…
I definitely DO believe you are 100% responsible for understanding the incredible force creating the large and expanding chasm between the Haves and the Have Nots…
Most Americans are completely unprepared for a new financial event about to make it even worse.
I definitely believe you are 100% responsible for protecting your own family and taking a few simple preparations, especially when they are so cheap and easy to do…
The first step you need to take is mark your calendar for this Friday, September 30th
Everything you need to know is in my new video, linked below, free for public view.
