AbbVie (ABBV +0.03%) is a top healthcare stock, but it isn't trading like one of late. This year, it's down 11%, and it has been underperforming the S&P 500, which is down only 4%. Investors have been bearish on healthcare stocks as a whole, with the Healthcare Select Sector SPDR ETF falling by 6% thus far. Concerns about healthcare reform and government cuts have been weighing on the sector. For investors, however, now can be an opportune time to buy low on a quality stock such as AbbVie. While it may not be doing well of late, that doesn't mean it can't still be a great buy for the long haul. Here's why this might be an underrated stock to buy right now. AbbVie's business is showing strength The past couple of years haven't been easy for AbbVie, as the pandemic disrupted regular hospital operations, and the healthcare company has also lost patent protection for its top drug, Humira. But AbbVie has shown that it can pivot and adapt, with its new immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq doing well in filling the gap. Together, those drugs generated $25.9 billion in revenue last year, while Humira sales were cut in half, totaling just $4.5 billion. AbbVie's revenue totaled $61.2 billion in 2025, which increased by 9% from the previous year. The company's growth rate has been accelerating in recent quarters, showing a strong upward trend. The company's diverse operations give it plenty of different levers to pull on to drive more growth. Even though its core business did well last year, its aesthetics sales fell by 6%, and that segment could have room to grow in the future as consumer discretionary spending rises.

The interest-rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) once again left rates unchanged at its recent meeting, inside the range of 3.50% to 3.75%. The move was widely expected by the broader market, but once again defied President Donald Trump's request for the Fed to cut rates. Trump's frustration is nothing new. The 47th president has been calling on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the FOMC to lower rates for most of his second term. With Powell's term as chair of the Federal Reserve board set to end in May, he's likely to disappoint Trump at least one more time, at least as chair. Why the Fed left rates unchanged As most know, the Fed's dual mandate is to use monetary policy to achieve both stable consumer prices and maximum employment. However, for several years, these goals have been at odds with one another. Inflation has remained elevated while the labor market has started to deteriorate a bit, though it is still quite healthy historically, with an unemployment rate of 4.4%. At Powell's post-meeting conference, he noted that the Fed remains concerned about elevated inflation. The conflict in Iran has made the situation even more uncertain, as surging oil prices are bound to make things more costly for both consumers and businesses. "The thing I really want to emphasize is, nobody knows," Powell said of the war in Iran. "The economic effects could be bigger, they could be smaller, they could be much smaller, they could be much bigger. We just don't know." But inflation data has not been good lately, with both the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index (the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation) and wholesale inflation remaining elevated in February. While energy is not included in core inflation, it's still likely to affect the headline numbers once March data is released next month. On the labor side of the equation, the U.S. economy actually lost about 92,000 jobs in February (and prior months' totals were revised down), much worse than expected. Howe...

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the Top Wide Moat Stocks to Buy for Long Term Growth. On March 19, Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein reiterated a “Perform” rating on the company’s stock. This is because of the delay in the launch of LLM and the rumored reduction in the headcount by 20%. These moves indicate that the company is in defensive mode. Oppenheimer Reiterates Perform Rating on Meta Platforms (META) Stock The firm believes there are 2 possible scenarios. First, there can be increased opex/capex because of increased competition. Second, there can be more delays in frontier LLM, with management highlighting that there will be margin upside. This will help calm investors. The firm further added that the longer Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) delays its launch of Avocado, the more difficult it will be to keep up with competitors. This is because the competitors’ models continue to improve. That being said, a 20% reduction in force could result in an EPS upside of ~$1.60 in 2027, or 5% above the firm’s current estimate. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) happens to be a multi-national company, which is engaged in developing AR/VR technologies and social platforms. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

格隆汇3月24日｜据英国卫报：两名外交消息人士证实，匈牙利外长已与拉夫罗夫分享了信息。

Ministers are looking at providing support for household bills next winter, Keir Starmer said, as he suggested the energy price shock unleashed by the Iran conflict could continue for months to come. The prime minister indicated he would prefer to focus any taxpayer-funded help on the poorest households, rather than an expensive universal bailout, ahead of an emergency meeting on the economic fallout of the Middle East crisis. Addressing the Commons liaison committee on Monday, he said there would not necessarily be a “quick and early end” to the conflict, despite Donald Trump postponing US strikes on Iranian power plants. Starmer promised to look at “every lever that’s available” to help people cope with the cost of living impact, with ministers understood to be discussing contingency plans at the Cobra meeting, which will be attended by the governor of the Bank of England. “We’re looking across the board at what can be done, whether it’s cost of living or the support we need to put in. I want to make sure we’ve examined all the appropriate levers that we can pull,” said Starmer. Rachel Reeves is expected to update MPs on Tuesday on her plans to improve the security of UK energy supplies, as well as giving a broader assessment of how the UK economy is coping with the shock of the Middle East crisis. But she will not announce specific support packages for consumers. Instead, ministers are working on means-testing support when the next energy price cap comes to an end in June, as well as when the following one starts in the autumn, and energy consumption and bills are higher. “We’re looking at in the first instance what happens when the current price cap ends, which is the end of June,” Starmer said. “I think the one we’re equally focused on is the one after that, because the June to September/October period is when only about 77% of energy is used within households. It’s after that it gets very heavy.” But he suggested there would be no repeat of Liz Truss’s univers...

格隆汇3月24日｜据纽约时报，美国国防部官员表示，高级军事官员正在考虑部署一支陆军第82空降师的作战旅以及该师的部分总部参谋人员，以支持美军在伊朗的军事行动。官员们称军方的这些行动是审慎规划，并指出国防部或美国中央司令部尚未下达任何命令。作战部队将来自第82空降师的“快速反应部队”，这是一个由约3000名士兵组成的旅，具备在18小时内部署到全球任何地方的能力。这支部队可用于夺取伊朗主要石油出口枢纽哈尔克岛。另一个正在考虑的可能性是，如果特朗普授权美军夺取该岛，则可动用正在前往该地区的第31海军陆战队远征部队约2500名士兵。

Vertigo3d/E+ via Getty Images Lumentum's ( LITE ) recent design wins, including the upcoming production ramp of its 100G and 200G EML chipsets in 800G and 1.6T optical modules, could send the stock to more than $1,000 per share, according to BNP Paribas Equity Research. "Lumentum made a compelling case of attaining over $30 in annualized EPS by the end of C2028, which is supported by new design wins across its leading laser portfolio of EML chipsets for 800G and 1.6T transceivers, 400mW ultra-high-powered lasers used in Nvidia's ( NVDA ) co-packaged optical switches, and its own MEMS-based optical circuit switch that we believe is primarily used in Google's ( GOOG )( GOOGL ) TPU 3D Taurus network topology," said BNP Paribas analyst Karl Ackerman regarding Lumentum's investor briefing on March 17. "Lumentum articulated there is upside to its ~$8B annualized sales and ~40% OpM target from additional EML capacity as its newly purchased Greensboro fab from Qorvo comes online in early 2028." BNP Paribas increased its price target on Lumentum to $1,040 from $625 and reiterated its Outperform rating. "We are raising our out-year estimates to account for the company's new multi-year, multi-billion-dollar optical circuit switch win," Ackerman added. "Our estimates also include higher volume expectations of 400mW ultra-high-powered lasers following Nvidia's recent $2B investment to secure multi-year capacity, as Nvidia seeks to ramp co-packaged optical switches in upcoming Vera Rubin AI infrastructure." BNP increased its calendar year 2027 earnings per share estimate to $25.89 from $19.40. Its implied EPS estimate for CY2028 is now $38.95. Lumentum shares were up 2% by afternoon trading on Monday.

New York City’s transit agency is set to approve a $1 billion excavation contract as part of its Second Avenue subway expansion — but the deal might be stalled if federal funds for the project are not released. While the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is expected to authorize the agreement on Wednesday, the transit agency won’t be able to enter the contract until it receives about $60 million of suspended funds, according to MTA officials. The operator of the city’s subways, buses and commuter rails last week sued the Trump administration for the money, which has been on hold since October as the US Department of Transportation reviews the transit agency’s contracting process. Read More: NY’s MTA Sues Trump Administration Over Frozen Subway Funds MTA officials have warned that the $7 billion subway project is at risk of delays if it is unable to enter into the excavation contract on schedule. Getting board approval this week will allow the agency to ink the contract once the federal funding is resolved, Jamie Torres-Springer , head of construction and development at the MTA, said Monday during a committee meeting for MTA’s capital program. “There is the unnecessary uncertainty regarding the federal government’s meeting its obligations to reimburse the MTA for funds that are expended on this project,” Torres-Springer said. “And so as we’ve noted, this may impact the timing of the award.” The project calls for building three new subway stations that would extend the Second Avenue subway from 96th Street to 125th Street. When complete it will provide mass-transit service to East Harlem residents, who have been waiting decades for subway access in their community. The $1 billion contract is for excavating and digging a tunnel for a new station at 106th Street. The MTA plans to award the contract to a joint venture that includes Skanska USA Civil Northeast , Walsh Construction Company II , and Traylor Bros. , according to a summary of the agreement. T...

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images Tech Stocks Slide As Iran War Escalates Tech stocks dipped as the Iran war escalated last week, with investors weighing the impact of higher energy prices , global supply chain disruptions, inflation, and interest rate hikes . After underperforming on Friday, the S&P 500 Technology Sector ( XLK ) was down about 6% year-to-date, led by a selloff in AI infrastructure and microchip stocks. Markets rebounded after President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran could be reached soon. However, traders on Polymarket have odds at less than 40% that traffic normalizes in the Strait of Hormuz by the end of April. Polymarket Tech stocks had been underperforming before the conflict erupted, weighed down by stretched valuation concerns and excessive AI capital spending. However, the sector’s earnings outlook has grown stronger. Earnings forecasts for S&P 500 tech stocks have surged since the beginning of the year, with analysts now expecting the sector’s EPS to rise nearly 45% in Q1 2026, up from 34% estimated on December 31, according to FactSet data . FactSet As I mentioned in my piece Buy The Dip: Best Stocks With Forward EPS Growth Above 40% , recent declines in high-quality stocks appear to be driven largely by external factors rather than by any deterioration in underlying business performance. A disciplined, data-driven approach and quantitative tools can help investors identify stocks with solid fundamentals that look even more attractive after the broader selloff. How I Chose Top Tech Stocks To Buy On The Dip Using Seeking Alpha’s Stock Screener , I filtered for Strong Buy tech stocks that were hit hard at the end of last week and/or beaten down in the past month, showcasing strong momentum grades while trading at significant discounts to the sector based on each stock’s PEG ratio – a valuation metric that factors in both a company’s earnings multiple and its expected growth.

格隆汇3月24日｜据以色列第12频道：伊朗已同意冻结其导弹项目五年。

As a fuel crisis triggered by the war in Iran drives up global fossil fuel prices, the Trump administration has announced it will pay French energy major TotalEnergies $1bn to kill plans to construct wind farms off the US east coast. The deal is the latest blow to the US offshore wind industry, which has faced repeated disruptions to multi-billion-dollar projects under Donald Trump. Trump has said he finds wind turbines ugly, costly and inefficient, and his administration has moved to increase domestic fossil fuel production. In the deal announced Monday, TotalEnergies will give up two offshore leases it had purchased off New York and North Carolina. Trump’s Department of the Interior will reimburse the company the $928m it paid for the leases under Joe Biden. TotalEnergies has pledged not to develop any new offshore wind projects in the country, a US Department of the Interior statement said, and will invest nearly $1bn this year in the development of four trains at the Rio Grande LNG plant in Texas, and the development of upstream conventional oil in the US Gulf and shale gas production, the statement said. The deal comes as US-Israeli strikes on Iran have triggered the largest ever disruption to oil supply, according to the International Energy Agency, and as climate advocates say the conflict is highlighting the perils of a fossil fuel-based energy system. “This is political theater meant to obscure the fact that offshore wind capacity is being pulled out of the pipeline when energy prices are skyrocketing, even as other offshore wind projects continue delivering reliable and affordable power to the grid,” Sam Salustro, a senior vice-president of pro-offshore wind group Oceantic Network, said in a statement. “Paying to remove affordable, homegrown energy out of the equation leaves American consumers struggling to pay their electricity bills.” It also follows attempts by the Trump administration last year to end the construction of five wind farms along the east ...

Natalia Kopyltsova/iStock via Getty Images I love cheap, unloved assets with upside. I do mean "love." In this article, I'm going to cover a company that I believe offers investors cheap, undervalued assets with an upside - and I'm going to qualify my statement and assumptions with facts. The company in my sights is Healthpeak ( DOC ). I haven't been a prolific coverage analyst when it comes to REITs for the past 1-2 years, but the fact is that this has to do with valuation. I recently covered the self-storage space, both with mergers and companies that I believed to be overvalued. I believe a large part of REIT-dom is currently going through a bit of a valuation renaissance, and companies in the sector are (for the most part) struggling a lot more than they're letting on. The combinations of expense increases they can literally do nothing about (like taxes), combined with increases they can do very little about if they want to continue operating (inflation, other opex), leave even many triple-nets open to valuation compression. As I said in my Extra Storage Space ( EXR ) article, companies are trying different methods to fight this are one (even if they are done at relatively high prices). The best thing I believe can be done about this is to make sure you're buying the companies knowing your targets. Knowing that you're buying at a well-established, great price, and when you buy, already having your exits provided for you. That's what I try to bring to the table. Many investors and analysts only say when to buy, but they're a little less clear about when it could be a good idea to rotate. I understand why. Telling someone it's time to rotate is in essence the same as somehow telling them that things won't go up more - and often times, or at least sometimes, they end up doing just that. It's a hard position to be in. I often end up selling companies too early. Many analysts don't want to be in that position. I don't mind it one bit. Why? Because dear readers, there...

It's been tough to be a Qualcomm (QCOM 1.10%) shareholder lately. The stock price is down 28% just since its early January peak and is still knocking on the door of a new 52-week low. Blame the global shortage of memory chips, mostly, which undermined its guidance for the fiscal second quarter now underway. The company's looking for sales of somewhere between $10.2 billion and $11 billion, versus consensus estimates of $11.1 billion. Growing competition and the stock's frothy valuation were also a concern. The market's response to all of it makes enough superficial sense. Now take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

And in those time frames, Qualcomm is an incredibly promising prospect. Looking back, this dip is apt to be an incredible buying opportunity.

U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida. Marco Bello | Reuters Emily Gregory , a small business owner and first time candidate for elected office, is looking to score an upset in a Florida special election on Tuesday to represent Mar-a-Lago in the state legislature. Gregory is a Democrat running for state House District 87 , which runs up the coast of southeast Florida and includes Palm Beach — where President Donald Trump 's home and resort is located — South Palm Beach and Juno Beach. "It is the kind of district that fits just kind of outside the bubble of what we've seen Democratic over-performance in these targeted races," Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee said in an interview with journalists from CNBC and MS Now. "We could win it. If we don't win it it's not going to be a surprise." Gregory is squaring off against Trump-endorsed candidate Jon Maples — a financial advisor and former college basketball player — in a district the GOP has controlled since 2022. Republican Mike Caruso, who represented the area in the state House until his resignation in 2025, won reelection in 2024 by 19 points . But as Trump's approval ratings dip and Democrats throughout the country are showing gains in special elections , Gregory and her supporters see an opportunity to play spoiler and potentially pick up a seat with major symbolic value.
