Chris's Articles
FedEx Corp. (FDX) needs no introduction. It’s the third-largest package courier in the world with a 17% global market share, behind only DHL (39%) and UPS (24%). Because it’s growing and pays a decent dividend (2.6% yield at recent prices), add FDX, writes Chris Preston, editor of Cabot Value Investor.
Oracle Corp. (ORCL) is a large multinational technology company that primarily offers cloud computing, database software, and enterprise software applications. ORCL stock is up about 50% year-to-date, but that might be just the beginning, observes Chris Preston, editor of Cabot Stock of the Week.
What a difference two months make! On April 8, the Nasdaq had plummeted to bear market territory and the S&P 500 was on the cusp of joining it. Fast forward to today and it’s a totally different picture. I like KBR Inc. (KBR) here, writes Chris Preston, chief analyst at Cabot Value Investor.
The SPDR Retail ETF (XRT) is down 3.8% year-to-date, and consumer discretionary as a whole has been the worst performing of the 11 major S&P sectors. But most of the hard data still points to a healthy US economy. I like Carnival Corp. (CCL), writes Chris Preston, chief analyst at Cabot Value Investor.
