Stock Recommendations of the Week: Opportunities and Risks

Overview of the Most Important Stock Recommendations

In the past trading week, numerous experts have recommended various stocks for purchase, indicating increased interest and potential market developments for investors in the German-speaking area. The recommendations range from growth stocks with high potential to dividend gems with attractive payouts.

Growth Stocks with High Potential

  • Alphabet (GOOGL): Experts see Alphabet as undervalued, especially given a price-to-earnings ratio of just over 20 with an earnings per share of $8.04 for the year 2024. Despite concerns about the traditional advertising and search engine business in the age of AI, its strong competitive position is emphasized. An annual appreciation of up to 15% is considered possible.
  • Nintendo: Nintendo is also mentioned as a growth candidate, with a similar annual return expected as with Alphabet.

High Dividend Stocks

  • OMV: The Austrian energy company currently offers a very high dividend yield of around 10.56%. The stock is also in an upward trend.
  • LyondellBasell: With a dividend yield of about 9.55%, the Dutch chemical company is also attractive – however, the stock is currently on a downward trend and should be monitored closely.
  • Bijou Brigitte: This German fashion jewelry company offers a strong dividend yield of 8%. The stock has regained momentum after a lengthy consolidation period.

According to Morningstar, the following companies are currently among the most undervalued:

Company Industry/Sector Features/Notes
Polaris (PII) Recreational Vehicles Very inexpensive valuation
Nike (NKE) Sports Goods Attractive valuation
Pfizer (PFE) Pharmaceuticals Inexpensive valuation
