10 Most Undervalued Quality Stocks To Buy According To Analysts

In this article, we will talk about the 10 most undervalued quality stocks to buy according to analysts.

Are More Rate Cuts Necessary to Maintain The Current Economic Trajectory?

Despite global uncertainties, the US economy is viewed as stronger than its international counterparts. But then again, market challenges are undeniably persisting, and strategists are inclining toward one opinion or the other to help investors build a stronger portfolio for the rest of the year.

In such volatility, quality stocks with reliable earnings offer potential opportunities for risk-averse investors. Interest rates are currently high, but there is potential for significant gains if they decline. As current economic indicators support a favorable environment for growth and income generation, we covered a conversation from CNBC in our 10 Best Quality Stocks to Buy According to Analysts article, where the Global Investment Strategist at ProShares Advisors, Simeon Hyman, emphasized ‘income’ as a key focus, highlighting that fixed-income markets could provide 10-15% returns if geopolitical tensions worsen. Here’s an excerpt from that article:

“…the yield on the 10-year bond is nearly 4%, and there is potential for it to drop to 3% or lower if significant negative events occur. This scenario presents an opportunity for investors to realize gains of 10% or 15% on bonds in a tumultuous environment, a situation not seen in over a decade.

Despite the current market being down by 3.7%, which is slightly less than 4%, Hyman insisted that rounding was at play… there has been a 50-basis point cut and indications of a soft landing for the economy. A month-over-month increase of just 0.1% suggests that if one can overlook geopolitical issues, the US economy is faring better than many others globally and remains on solid economic footing.”

Richard Fisher, Jefferies’ senior advisor, joined ‘Closing Bell’ on CNBC on October 1 to discuss the Fed’s recent rate cut and what it means for the market from here. The former Dallas Fed Chair Richard Fisher shared his insights on the current state of monetary policy and the Fed’s approach to interest rate cuts, noting that he was not surprised by Chair Powell’s signals indicating smaller rate cuts are forthcoming. Fisher explained that he had been bullish since the end of 2023, despite initially predicting a recession that did not materialize. He emphasized the importance of measured cuts, stating that the Fed is looking at monetary policy with a long-term perspective, roughly 18 months out.

He highlighted the significance of recent economic data, particularly from the Atlanta Fed, which indicates strong growth above 3%. Fisher characterized the current economic environment as experiencing neither a soft landing nor a hard landing, but rather a smooth glide path. He believes that two more quarter-point cuts would be appropriate to maintain this trajectory. When discussing concerns about whether current rates are too restrictive relative to inflation, Fisher disagreed with the argument and pointed out that financial conditions remain accommodative, citing narrow spreads and strong private lending activity. He argued that with another two cuts, the Fed would not be overly restrictive.

Despite acknowledging Powell’s effective leadership, Fisher maintained that it was premature to declare victory regarding economic stabilization. He believes Powell’s term will continue until April 2026, and only then can a true assessment of success be made. Overall, Fisher’s emphasis on measured rate cuts and ongoing economic strength underscores the delicate balance policymakers must maintain in fostering growth while managing inflationary pressures.

This could have a positive impact on the stock market, especially for undervalued quality stocks. When interest rates fall, investors often shift their focus to equities as they seek higher returns. This could lead to increased demand for undervalued quality stocks, potentially driving up their prices. In that context and given Fisher’s cautious optimism, we’re here with a list of the 10 most undervalued quality stocks to buy according to analysts.

Deposits increased by ~$1.7 billion, driven by Puerto Rico government funds. Net interest margin improved by 6 basis points to 3.22% due to higher loan balances and interest rates, partially offset by rising deposit costs.

For the second quarter of 2024, the company made $399.13 million in revenue, representing a 35.35% year-over-year decline. A lot of this quarter’s decline was offset by the proprietary product portfolio, which grew 16% year-over-year.

VIVITROL net sales increased by 9.6% year-over-year to $111.9 million. ARISTADA sales rose 4.3% to $86 million. LYBALVI sales surged 52% to $71.4 million due to strong demand. INVEGA revenues declined significantly to $78.7 million, primarily due to the absence of back royalties and related interest. VUMERITY sales increased by 9% to $35.2 million.

The decline in Q2 was driven by high R&D expenses. However, at the same time, R&D expenses decreased due to focused investments in neuroscience development programs, primarily related to the ALKS 2680 clinical program. Notably, INVEGA SUSTENNA royalties and net sales were to end in mid-August, impacting Q3 results by about $20 million. But the company continues to receive royalties from other INVEGA products.

Alkermes’ (NASDAQ:ALKS) focus on neuroscience development programs and the continued growth of its proprietary product portfolio demonstrates its potential for future success. The company’s strong product pipeline and ongoing R&D investments position it well for long-term growth.

Emeth Value Capital made the following comment about DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

“For as often as the phrase “a private equity approach to public markets” is repeated, it is surprising to observe the great divide that exists between even very sophisticated long-term investors in public and private markets. There is perhaps no more well-trodden battleground than that of valuation marks. Public investors, particularly in times of market stress, are quick to express frustration that private equity portfolios are not marked to market. The title of Cliff Asness’ recent opinion piece in Institutional Investor captures the sentiment well, “Why Does Private Equity Get to Play Make-Believe With Prices?”. The level of discontent is surprising for two reasons: first, the difference in methodology is quite easily understood, and second, contrary to public markets gospel, it is evident that liquidity and the discovery of value are in no way synonymous. Indeed, they may be opposing forces more often than not. At the risk of oversimplifying, one can think of private equity marks as single-variable valuations, while public equity marks are dual-variable valuations. Both incorporate the level of earnings in a business, but while multiples are held relatively constant in private equity marks, public market marks also incorporate sentiment in the form of a changing multiple. The problem is that Mr. Market tends to change his opinion quite often. Consider the case of one of our former portfolio companies, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS)…” (Click here to read the full text)

While the ongoing port strike presents challenges for many retailers, particularly those with a high reliance on imported goods, the potential for increased market share and pricing power for domestically focused businesses presents a bullish opportunity. The potential for price hikes due to the strike could benefit retailers with pricing flexibility and the ability to maintain margins.

“Other bottom contributors in Q2 included CarMax, Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) and ConocoPhillips. US-based mass retailer Target faces concerns about a slowing consumer discretionary spending environment, which weighed on shares in the quarter.”

Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) is a multinational toy manufacturing and entertainment company known for its iconic brands such as Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, and American Girl. It designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of toys and games for children of all ages. Its focus on innovation and storytelling has helped it maintain its position as a leading toy company.

In the second quarter of 2024, the company’s revenue declined by 0.69% year-over-year. Gross billings declined 2%, with growth in APAC offsetting declines in other regions. At the same time, the company gained market share globally, with strong performance in dolls, vehicles, and infant toys.

Segment-wise, however, doll sales declined, while vehicle sales increased. Fisher-Price grew double-digits, and the company gained market share in games. Mattel Creations, the D2C channel, continued to grow. It’s expanding its entertainment offerings with films, television shows, and digital gaming. The company expects the toy industry to decline modestly in 2024.

The company is focusing on growing its IP-driven toy business and expanding its entertainment offerings. It aims to increase profitability, gross margin, and cash generation. It expects long-term growth driven by innovation, market share gains, entertainment success, operational efficiencies, and a strong balance sheet. All of these factors make Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) a top investment opportunity.

Longleaf Partners Fund stated the following regarding Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

“Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT)– Global toy and media company Mattel detracted for the quarter. The company reported what we viewed as solid quarterly results and an affirmation of 2024 guidance. We were particularly encouraged by their decision to increase their share repurchase program, which positions them well for FCF per share growth. As the quarter went on, however, the market focused on weaker consumer purchasing trends impacting Mattel and its peers. The market also seems to have moved past the success of last year’s Barbie movie, but we believe there is significant upside from media and entertainment revenue streams that are not yet reflected in today’s earnings expectations.”

These factors come together to make Axos Financial Inc. (NYSE:AX) well-positioned for success.

Gator Capital Management made the following comment about Axos Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AX) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:

“A second but higher risk opportunity is in select regional banks. Coming into March, regional banks were already at the low end of their long-term valuation range. In March, the regional bank index declined 29%, and many well-run regional banks declined more than the index. We admit there are many new negatives for regional banks in the aftermath of the Bank Crisis. Still, we think they have become too cheap and have the potential to outperform as we get clarity on the going forward business model.

We see four new negatives for regional banks: 1) uninsured deposits will decline unless deposit insurance limits are increased, 2) banks will operate with higher liquidity going forward, 3) deposit repricing is accelerating, and 4) regulatory uncertainty is high.

Despite these four new negative issues for banks, we believe regional bank stock prices have overshot to the downside. We estimate these four issues will cause a 10% decline in earnings, which is not bad compared to a 30% decline in stock prices. We believe the banks will be able to overcome some of these negatives with wider spreads on loans going forward. We believe we must focus on the best management teams that have shown the ability to grow while maintaining discipline on expenses.

Some banks we have identified include Axos Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AX), United Missouri Bank, Webster Financial, and Pinnacle Financial. These banks are strong performers and don’t have the same problems that SIVB and others had with their bond portfolios. These banks have strong deposit franchises and have posted strong loan growth for many years. We believe they will be able to balance the demands of the new banking environment and post strong results.”

2. Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MRK)

Average Upside Potential: 27.54%

Forward Price-to-Earnings Ratio: 10.96

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 96

The acquisition of Harpoon Therapeutics is expected to strengthen its oncology pipeline and create opportunities for new combination therapies. Hence, Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MRK) is rather well-positioned for success.

Carillon Eagle Growth & Income Fund stated the following regarding Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

“After posting lackluster returns in 2023, Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) got off to a strong start in January by raising the long-term sales forecasts for its oncology and cardiology pipelines and reporting solid fourth-quarter results, coupled with strong financial guidance for 2024. Merck shares also finished the quarter strong after receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in late March for a new cardiology medicine with the potential to contribute significantly to sales growth over the next several years.”

“Health care results lifted relative performance during the period and included our top two individual performers in Lantheus and newer portfolio addition Corcept Therapeutics. Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LNTH), which makes diagnostic and therapeutic products that help clinicians diagnose and treat heart, cancer and other diseases, saw its share price rise on strong first-quarter results.”
