Universal Electronics (UEIC) in the Growth Portfolio has risen to my price target of 69, and should be sold. I also reiterate my Buy rating on H&R Block (HRB).
Though the chart remains bullish and there’s no bad news on the company, the Universal Electronics (UEIC) is fully valued based on fundamentals. I’m selling UEIC today, to make room for new undervalued stocks in the Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor portfolios. Sell.
In yesterday’s weekly update, I recommended these six stocks as being capable of short-term price increases of 5% or more:
- Growth Portfolio: Adobe Systems (ADBE), Chemtura (CHMT) and D.R. Horton (DHI)
- Growth & Income Portfolio: General Motors (GM) and H&R Block (HRB)
- Buy Low Opportunities Portfolio: Whirlpool (WHR)
Though all of these stocks are excellent choices for current purchase, the one that I would personally buy today would be H&R Block (HRB). You’ll notice that (a) it’s not trading in synch with the S&P 500—it did not pull back last week when the S&P pulled back, and (b) when it rose rapidly after last week’s earnings report and dividend increase, it did not give back any of its gains—a bullish sign! Therefore, I’d like to reiterate my Buy.
Please note that I pick stocks that I think will give you above-average investment returns either through capital gains or a combination of capital gains and dividends. I never recommend stocks in which I expect you to only earn dividends. Therefore, no matter how much I might occasionally speak about dividends, my overall goal is always to outperform the stock market.
