Investing.com — Investors who remained wholly focused on big tech in July may have just missed out on one of the year's best opportunities: the great rotation toward value propelled by fantastic earnings reporting among small and mid-cap high-quality plays.
Fortunately, that was not the case for our premium users, who, for under $8 a month, received a list of AI-picked top high-value plays BEFORE they went on to post their financial results and consequently rally.
Just to give you a taste of you may have missed out on in July:
- Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR): +16.6% after reporting.
- Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:POOL): +13.64% after reporting.
- Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ:MANH): +10.96% after reporting.
- Molina Healthcare (NYSE:MOH): +12.6% after reporting.
- F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV): +14% after reporting.
- PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL): +11.61% after reporting.
- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM): +8.40% after reporting.
Among several others...
In fact, users who mimicked our flagship Top Value strategy in July managed to garnish a solid 3.6% on the composed, low-risk stock selection. That compares to a 0.6% drop for the benchmark S&P 500.
Similarly, our Best of Buffett strategy, which features only the cream-of-the-crop of the Oracle of Omaha's already incredible picks, gained an even better 4.8% during the month.
But worry not; while July is already behind us, the same can't be said for big profit opportunities in the market.
As a matter of fact, you may be surprised to learn that, from a broad market perspective, Q2 has been one of the best earnings seasons of the current bull run so far.
Despite the big tech route, 78% of S&P 500 companies reported positive EPS surprises, with the blended earnings growth rate for the quarter jumping to +9.8% year-over-year, the largest since Q4 2021.
Now, as the Fed gears up to begin its rate-cut cycle in September and as big tech earnings keep on posting mixed results, this is the time to find lesser-known, better-priced stocks to position your portfolio for huge gains in August.
