Welcome to Extreme Investor Network! As we enter a new month, Wall Street is gearing up for potential market movements and keeping an eye on the performance of their favorite stocks. Historically, September has been a challenging month for stocks, but a significant interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve helped stabilize the market. Now, as we head into October, investors are cautiously optimistic, but some believe that the recent market highs may not be sustainable.
Janney Montgomery Scott’s Dan Wantrobski recently commented on the overbought nature of stocks in the short term, highlighting the vulnerability of the market to external shocks. Additionally, with the upcoming U.S. presidential election in November, we can expect increased volatility in the markets.
At Extreme Investor Network, we’ve taken a closer look at Wall Street’s favorite stocks that analysts believe have the potential to rally in the current environment. To make it onto our list, stocks had to be in the S&P 500, have a consensus buy rating from analysts, and offer at least 30% upside to the average price target.
One stock that caught our attention is semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology. After a strong performance in September and positive fiscal first-quarter revenue forecasts, analysts see potential for Micron to rise even further, with a 46% upside to the average price target.
Another stock on our radar is energy producer ConocoPhillips, which has been named a top pick by Wells Fargo for exposure to the growing liquified natural gas market. Analysts believe ConocoPhillips has significant potential for growth, with a 31% upside to the average price target.
Diamondback Energy is also worth watching, with analysts pointing to the company’s consistent execution and efficient operations as reasons for optimism. Piper Sandler has singled out Diamondback as a top pick in the oil and gas exploration and production sector, with a 30% upside to the average price target.
