5 Stocks to Buy Before the Fed Cuts Interest Rates I September 8, 2025
Plus new research on Nvidia, Alphabet, and Kraft Heinz.
On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski catch up on tons of economic news, covering everything from tariffs to inflation to jobs—and whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its September meeting.
They unpack Morningstar’s fair value increase on Nvidia’s NVDA stock after earnings, whether Marvell Technology MRVL is still a buy after issuing so-so guidance, and if it’s time to throw in the towel or back up the truck on Bath & Body Works BBWI stock. They share Morningstar’s take on stocks in the news, including whether Kraft Heinz KHC stock is a buy ahead of the company’s split and if Alphabet’s GOOGL stock still looks attractive after the company skirts a breakup in its antitrust case.
They’ll also discuss Dave’s latest stock market outlook and his stocks to buy before the next Fed meeting.
