Three Stocks You Must Buy Seeing BRC: QUALCOMM, Inc. (QCOM) and More

Robert Half: Robert Half came out with better than expected 3Q 2012 earnings, with its net income increasing to $57.7 million as compared to $44.2 million in 2011, whereas revenue rose 4.9% to $1.03 billion from $984.7 million in 2011. The company controls 25% of the market share, holding a dominant position in Finance and Accounting recruiting in the US, generating 75% of its revenue from this region. Protivity, a subsidiary of Robert Half, has a significant contribution in generating the company’s revenue and operating growth. And to further enhance its capabilities, it has acquired SusQtech Inc to meet the increasing demand for the skilled workers as well as providing its major clients with the specialized software consulting companies. The SusQtech team will help Protivity in providing knowledge base in Sharepoint, ASP.NET, and Microsoft ERP and CRM applications. Additionally, the healthcare reforms starting in the second half of 2013 give more positive outlook for Robert Half, as it will increase the temporary demand, creating a significant opportunity for the company. Many companies will be hiring temps before hiring them full time for longer trial periods, while others may use temps to reduce the administrative burden of healthcare reforms. The strong 3Q12 results and its solid potential give a very positive outlook for the company. Robert Half is to post revenue of $1.04 billion in 4Q12, while the EPS is anticipated to be up 4% and 7% in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

To sum up, I feel that the three stocks above are positioned well with their growth fundamentals and can be considered for long term investment. Qualcomm holds a place in many major smartphones and is driving increased unit shipment growth, while Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) with its power brand will show a 14% upside in its EPS in 2013. On the other hand Robert Half will grow as the US economy recovers and the demand for temps increases.
