Plus, the key earnings reports to monitor this week.
In this episode of The Morning Filter podcast, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss the latest developments in the Iran war and what investors should be monitoring. The stock market hit new highs last week; the co-hosts cover what drove performance, whether the market still looks undervalued, and if investors are too complacent. They dig into the stunning rally in Intel’s stock this year and its price risk heading into earnings on Thursday. Tune in to find out what companies to keep on your radar this week, hear Morningstar’s takeaways from big bank earnings, and find out whether Netflix, ASML, Taiwain Semiconductor and Johnson & Johnson JNJ are stocks to buy after they’ve reported earnings.
They talk about why the idea of buying stocks and holding them for decades sounds better in theory than it may be in practice. They wrap up with a handful of undervalued stock picks today that may, in fact, be stocks to own for decades.
