Outperformers

There are a lot of hot stocks right now. All 3 major indexes hit all-time highs last week. 

According to Bank of America (BAC), 5 stocks in particular offer investors value in the current market climate: 

They include:

  • Super Micro Computer (SMCI) 

  • Kroger (KR)

  • Burlington (BURL) 

  • JPMorgan Chase (JPM) 

  • TJX Companies (TJX)

Kroger & Burlington

According to BofA analyst Robert Ohmes, Kroger has both short and long-term value as the grocery store continues to open new locations. Shares are up over 20% this year, and Ohmes gives the stock a $70 price target. That’s over a 23% increase from Monday’s open.  

Burlington shares have risen over 16% year-to-date, and analyst Lorraine Hutchinson thinks they can go even higher. She points to the store’s expansion efforts, sales numbers, and profit margins as reasons to be bullish.

JPM, SMCI & TJX

Analyst Ebrahim Poonawala likes JPMorgan Chase. Shares are up over 51% over the past 12 months. Poonawala believes this is due to JPM’s growth, strong balance sheet, and “strategic optionality.” The analyst went as far as to say that JPM is the best-positioned bank BofA covers in terms of balance sheet and execution.

Super Micro Computer shares are up over 265% this year, and BofA believes they will continue to climb as demand for AI servers grows. 

TJX Companies is up around 5% year-to-date, but BofA analysts believe it will continue to increase as its importance to vendors grows. 

Many stocks are soaring right now but according to Bank of America, these stocks in particular are well-positioned for sustained growth.
