• The S&P 500, which is dominated by mega-cap stocks, has dropped 17% this year. But there may be opportunities.
The S&P 500, which is dominated by mega-cap stocks, has dropped 17% so far this year.
While it’s only natural for investors to be freaked out by the move, there may be some buying opportunities amid the carnage.
Morningstar lists five “market leaders” among the market’s 10 biggest stocks, as measured by market capitalization.
Meta Platforms FB
Morningstar analyst Ali Mogharabi puts fair value at $384, compared to a recent quote of $193.80.
“While Meta continues to focus on metaverse opportunities in the long run, it is also increasing its efforts and investments in its very profitable advertising business to overcome obstacles created by Apple and position itself to benefit from the growing short-form video trend,” he wrote in a commentary.
The company also enjoyed an increase in users during the first quarter.
Amazon AMZN
Morningstar analyst Dan Romanoff puts fair value at $3,850, compared to a recent quote of $2,145.
“Amazon dominates its served markets, notably for e-commerce and cloud services,” he wrote in a commentary.
“It benefits from numerous competitive advantages and has emerged as the clear e-commerce leader given its size and scale, which yield an unmatched selection of low-priced goods for consumers.”
Alphabet GOOGL
Morningstar analyst Mogharabi puts fair value at $3,600, compared to a recent quote of $2,255.
In the first quarter, Alphabet’s revenue rose 23% year-over-year, boosted by advertising and cloud services.
But YouTube experienced a deceleration in ad revenue growth.
Still, while management expects YouTube’s revenue slowdown to continue this quarter, it could accelerate in the fourth quarter, Mogharabi said.
Microsoft MSFT
Morningstar analyst Romanoff puts fair value at $352, compared to a recent quote of $254.67.
“Microsoft remains impressive in its ability to drive both growth and margins at scale, and we think there is more to come on both fronts,” Romanoff wrote.
“Key pillars of our growth narrative from the first quarter included year-over-year growth in Azure of 46%, Dynamics 365 of 35%, and LinkedIn of 34%.”
Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B
Morningstar analyst Greggory Warren puts fair value at $367, compared to a recent quote of
$307.78. Unlike most stocks, it has gained so far this year--3%.
“We expect 2022 and 2023 to be a return to more normalized levels of revenue growth and profitability, with the Alleghany [an insurance company] acquisition being additive to results in 2023 (due to the timing of the closing of the deal being set for the fourth quarter of 2022),” he wrote in a commentary.
