5 Stocks to Buy Before Their Big Discounts Disappear I August 25, 2025
Plus, what we think of Nvidia ahead of earnings.
On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski catch up on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks from Jackson Hole and the latest tariff news. A couple of economic reports bear watching this week, including the latest PCE figures. And while Nvidia’s NVDA upcoming results could move the market, a few less dominant but still interesting tech companies are reporting this week, too.
They provide Morningstar’s latest take on in-the-news stocks Intel INTC and Walmart WMT and discuss whether the stock of Unitedhealth Group UNH is appealing after Berkshire Hathaway’s BRK.A BRK.B sizable investment. And tune in to find out why now may be a good time to consider small cap stocks and which five stocks to buy before their big discounts vanish.
