Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), The Coca-Cola Company (KO), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS): Are These 3 Stocks a Buy After Earnings?

Sure, there are a lot of concerns regarding future regulations and private equity/security segments. However, those concerns surrounding rates are just speculative, and I have no problem celebrating Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) for a job well done. Therefore, the value lost on Tuesday’s trading day, I view as opportunity, and I am buying on the weakness.

Final Thoughts

If either Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) or Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) would have traded higher after earnings, no one would be mentioning medical device weakness and the possibility of tightened financial policy. However, this is how the market works, and we assume that the market is always right in post-earning reactions.

In my book, I teach investors how to capitalize on these inaccuracies, and how to capitalize on the value they often present. In the case of J&J and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS), I think value is present, and I am adding both to my Motley Fool CAPS.
