The disappointing retail sales numbers for December have put a huge damper on what was already a teetering market. While retail may be a touch slower than expected, value-added-reseller (VAR) for the fourth quarter is showing that some of the top enterprise tech companies may have had a very solid selling period. A new report from the analysts at Stifel focuses on stocks that may see price movement as a result.
The Stifel survey of resellers is a very thorough examination of sales and trends for the fourth quarter. With year-end buying and other factors moving the needle, a majority of the VAR’s are expecting an overall 10% uptick in sales.
Here are five stocks rated Buy at Stifel that may be beneficiaries of the strong fourth-quarter sales.
