Forget the NVIDIA Dip (3 Stocks That Are Actually Cheap) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Massive news from Nvidia shaking the
- 0:02entire market today. [music] Should you
- 0:04be chasing this dip or is there a better
- 0:06way to find value in the market? Joining
- 0:08us today is Mark Likenfeld with the
- 0:10Oxford Club with a look at three stocks
- 0:13where you can find true value in this
- 0:15market today. Mark, I'm excited to dive
- 0:17into those stocks and really talk a
- 0:19little bit more about your theory on
- 0:21investing and what it means to find
- 0:23cheap stocks, stocks that are actually
- 0:24on sale, the real bargains in the market
- 0:26right now. But we can't start this video
- 0:29without talking about what's happening
- 0:30with Nvidia today. Wild news uh shaking
- 0:34the entire market. Let's just talk about
- 0:36the ripple effects that you expect to
- 0:38see not just for Nvidia but for the rest
- 0:41of the market today too.
- 0:42>> Sure. So, you know, as you and I are
- 0:45speaking right now, the stock is is
- 0:47bouncing a little bit, but if the stock
- 0:49is not able to really find its footing
- 0:51if investors
- 0:53decide to continue to sell the stock,
- 0:55and as you said, it would have a huge
- 0:57ripple effect on the market. I mean,
- 1:01think about it. every, you know, fund,
- 1:03every ETF owns Nvidia as well as its
- 1:07competitors where if it ends up being,
- 1:09you know, kind of a little bit of a
- 1:10contagion, uh, it could have a dramatic
- 1:12effect. I'm not trying to cause any
- 1:14panic because so far the damage has been
- 1:16contained pretty much just to Nvidia
- 1:18stock and even not too terrible, uh,
- 1:21just, you know, given today as as you
- 1:23and I are speaking. I mean, obviously
- 1:24the stock is down about 30% from its
- 1:26highs. Even before all this news broke,
- 1:29uh it had been tumbling. But um it has
- 1:33potential to to really affect a lot of
- 1:35people in a in a negative way. Or if the
- 1:38stock is able to bounce, if if people
- 1:40just say, "Hey, this is a uh an isolated
- 1:42incident. The company's going to move
- 1:43on. Their earnings are still still going
- 1:45to grow significantly. It's still
- 1:48arguably the most important company."
- 1:50Then, you know, everything could just go
- 1:52back to normal and Nvidia could continue
- 1:54to rise and hit new highs eventually
- 1:57and, you know, all will be forgiven.
- 2:00Perhaps not for uh the CEO, but at least
- 2:02for the company.
- 2:03>> Yeah. And just to to say the headline
- 2:05today, if you've missed it, somehow uh
- 2:08Jensen Wong resigned as the CEO of
- 2:10Nvidia. the CFO is going to be taking
- 2:12over as the interim uh CEO of the
- 2:15company and they are going to continue
- 2:17reporting earnings on Tuesday as
- 2:19expected. So I think there's going to be
- 2:22a lot of wait on that as well. I think
- 2:24there's more potential for volatility in
- 2:26the market on Tuesday with whatever
- 2:28comes out of these earnings reports too.
- 2:30And so all of that to say buckle in. It
- 2:33seems like there's going to be a little
- 2:34bit more volatility coming very soon,
- 2:36Mark. And I think a lot of investors
- 2:38look at the volatility and maybe for for
- 2:40good reason as a chance to buy the dip
- 2:43on some of these massive companies, a
- 2:45chance to find some value and get some
- 2:47higher returns when you see the market
- 2:49in a little bit of turmoil like it is
- 2:50right now after such huge news uh on one
- 2:53of the country's biggest stocks. So for
- 2:56you, are you one who chases those dips,
- 2:58who looks to find value in an Nvidia
- 3:01when you see an isolated insulin like
- 3:04this taking the company stock down so
- 3:06much?
- 3:06>> This that's a great question. So every
- 3:08situation is obviously different. It
- 3:10depends why a stock is falling. Many
- 3:11times there's a very good reason that
- 3:14investors are selling off a stock
- 3:15because it deserves to be. Whether it's
- 3:18because earnings are slowing, uh
- 3:20mismanagement, you know, you name it.
- 3:22There can be a variety of factors that
- 3:23cause a stock to fall for very good
- 3:26reason. With Nvidia, you know, I think
- 3:29it's it's kind of a a mix where you had
- 3:32this this CEO who was a visionary
- 3:36founder of the company obviously, you
- 3:37know, he was kind of like a Steve Jobs,
- 3:39you know, mythical character, uh, who
- 3:42led this company and he obviously was
- 3:44incredibly important to Nvidia's growth.
- 3:48So with his departure, there's certainly
- 3:51a a bit of an unknown and as you
- 3:53mentioned, the CFO is going to be the
- 3:55interim CEO. They have said that they're
- 3:57going to look for a new CEO. So we don't
- 3:58know who is going to be managing this
- 4:00company long term. On the other hand,
- 4:02Nvidia does have its hands in so much
- 4:06technology, so much of the AI uh you
- 4:09know movement and growth and their
- 4:12earnings are expected to continue to
- 4:14grow very strongly, very significantly.
- 4:17Is this interimm CFO is the is a
- 4:20potential new CEO going to completely
- 4:21derail that? Probably not. Uh, you know,
- 4:24obviously there's going to be some
- 4:26changes with new management, but I think
- 4:29the long-term story is still pretty
- 4:31intact with Nvidia, at least right now.
- 4:34Again, it's hard to imagine new
- 4:37management coming in and completely, you
- 4:39know, disrupting the story. Uh, so to
- 4:42me, you know, is it a buying opportunity
- 4:45at this moment? might want to see where
- 4:47the stock settles uh if it continues to
- 4:50be volatile. But with strong earnings
- 4:53growth and and a pretty reasonable
- 4:55valuation, I mean right now the stock is
- 4:57trading at at about 17 times 2027
- 5:01projected earnings. That is a pretty
- 5:04reasonable valuation for a company. You
- 5:06know, forget the name Nvidia for a
- 5:08company with this kind of growth and
- 5:10this kind of um importance in its
- 5:14markets. I think 17 times earnings uh is
- 5:17is a pretty reasonable number. And I
- 5:20think at least with 2027, you can have,
- 5:22you know, some level of confidence that
- 5:24they're going to be in the ballpark of
- 5:27of their earnings estimate. I mean,
- 5:29every company there there's always, you
- 5:30know, a chance that you could miss, a
- 5:32chance you could beat, but you know, I I
- 5:34think it's it's reasonable to expect
- 5:36that they'll be in the ballpark. Yeah,
- 5:38it's a good analysis of what's happening
- 5:39with Nvidia, but you you keyed in on a
- 5:41word that I want to focus on, and I know
- 5:43that's what we're going to talk about
- 5:43with the stocks that you have for us
- 5:45today, too, and that's valuation and and
- 5:47talking about we again, we have so many
- 5:50videos that come out all the time that
- 5:51say buy the dip, buy the dip, and we
- 5:53hear from a lot of uh technical analysts
- 5:55on the show who are just looking at
- 5:56charts and they're looking at what has
- 5:58something pulled back to, where is that
- 6:00bounce happening? That is one way to
- 6:02invest. It's one way to look at the
- 6:04market for sure. But I I want to address
- 6:06looking at the valuation versus looking
- 6:08at, oh, the stock is down 70% off its
- 6:11highs. Why is that an important
- 6:13differentiator for you, Mark?
- 6:14>> And anytime you're looking at a stock
- 6:16that has fallen, like I said, you know,
- 6:18sometimes there's a very good reason.
- 6:19So, you want to understand that. I do
- 6:20find that the technical levels can be
- 6:23very important and good places to
- 6:26perhaps take a swing. So, if you're
- 6:27looking at a stock, it's falling, you
- 6:29you say to yourself, okay, this is a
- 6:31reasonable valuation uh or a low
- 6:33valuation. you know, I I think this is
- 6:35something I want to get involved in, you
- 6:36may want to wait until it falls down to
- 6:39support, improve the risk-to-reward uh
- 6:42situation. Or on the flip side, and I'll
- 6:44be talking about this with one of the
- 6:46stocks today, when it actually breaks
- 6:48out. Very often, a stock can be a really
- 6:50good valuation, but kind of be dead
- 6:52money for months or even years, just
- 6:55trading sideways. So once it breaks out
- 6:57of resistance, that could be the signal.
- 6:59Okay, now you have the company with, you
- 7:01know, good fundamentals, low valuation,
- 7:03but now the market's starting to notice
- 7:05and the stock looks like it's going to
- 7:07be on the move. So, you know, every
- 7:09situation is going to be a little bit
- 7:10different and and when stocks are
- 7:12falling hard and I'm I'm starting to get
- 7:14interested, you know, I'm looking at
- 7:15first the business, you know, is is the
- 7:17business solid? Are they going to grow?
- 7:19Do they have cash flow? Uh, that all
- 7:21that's really important, then the
- 7:22valuation, and then I'll look at a chart
- 7:25and say, okay, is this the time to buy?
- 7:27Is it am I trying to catch a falling
- 7:29knife here or is there you know some
- 7:31level of support or like I said perhaps
- 7:33getting ready to break out where I can
- 7:35fine-tune that timing. So you know like
- 7:36the fundamental story like the valuation
- 7:38and then use the charts to try to
- 7:40fine-tune the timing a little bit.
- 7:41>> Yeah. All really good information for
- 7:43investors and I know that's exactly what
- 7:45you do on your newsletter Mark is you do
- 7:47this kind of teaching talking about
- 7:49where investors should be looking uh at
- 7:51diving into research on a company before
- 7:53you actually invest. And that's what the
- 7:55Oxford Income Letter is all about. It's
- 7:57a newsletter that Mark puts out every

- 8:25team. So, if you want to join him and
- 8:27learn a little bit more about him, too,
- 8:29make sure to sign up for that Oxford
- 8:30Income newsletter today. Okay, Mark, I
- 8:32want to get into this list today. And
- 8:34and just to preface it, we are not going
- 8:36to be talking about the volatile AI
- 8:38market where we are seeing lots of
- 8:40changes right now, especially with
- 8:41Nvidia. There's a lot of risk in that
- 8:43area. We're going to cover a lot of
- 8:45different kinds of stocks today, and I'm
- 8:46excited about that, too.
- 8:48>> Yeah. And these stocks are a little bit
- 8:49more uh recession resistant I think. Um
- 8:52you know we have a consumer staples
- 8:54company a healthcare company. Uh but the
- 8:56first one I want to talk about is
- 8:58Ashland. The ticker is ASH.
- 9:01Not a super well-known stock. They make
- 9:04uh additives and ingredients for food
- 9:07for beauty products life sciences other
- 9:10industries. Uh so they're they're really
- 9:11an ingredient company. This stock has
- 9:14been beaten up. They're expected to grow
- 9:15earnings 28% this fiscal year which ends
- 9:19in September of 2027. Another 32% over
- 9:23the next 2 years and it's trading at 18
- 9:26times 2027 earnings. So, you know, a
- 9:29fairly low valuation for the kind of
- 9:31growth that is expected. Now, this
- 9:33growth is is kind of a change. The
- 9:35company had not been doing great uh up
- 9:37until what's now expected going forward.
- 9:40But they what's really interesting here
- 9:42is they are in an activist investor
- 9:45situation. So uh for for your viewers
- 9:48who are not familiar with activist
- 9:49investors that's when uh usually big
- 9:52hedge funds come in take a large
- 9:55position in the company and start
- 9:57demanding changes. So in this case
- 9:59they've already added two new board
- 10:00members and the board is now considering
- 10:03strategic alternatives which often means
- 10:05a sale or a spin-off of some part of the
- 10:08company. And just to give you an an
- 10:10example of perhaps roughly where the
- 10:15stock could trade. So a competitor
- 10:18called Selines had a materials business
- 10:20sort of similar to Ashlin. It's it's not
- 10:23exactly apples to apples but you know
- 10:24same general uh sector and they sold
- 10:28that business for 13 times IBIDA uh
- 10:31earning before interest taxes
- 10:33depreciation and amortization. So, if
- 10:35you applied that same multiple to this
- 10:37fiscal year's guidance for Ashland, that
- 10:39would come out to $118 a share. And the
- 10:42stock is currently at 76. Now, I I don't
- 10:44expect them to get $118. That's, you
- 10:47know, a 50% premium. And these kinds of
- 10:50companies aren't going to go for a 50%
- 10:52premium, but it does show you that that
- 10:54there's real opportunity here if they
- 10:57were to sell the business, which again,
- 10:59the activists, you know, they want
- 11:01something to happen. They're they're
- 11:02trying to shake things up and and either
- 11:05get this company sold, spin out some
- 11:06businesses or perhaps just these two new
- 11:09board members will really start to
- 11:11improve things in a dramatic way. So,
- 11:13the business is is expected to start
- 11:15growing and you have these activist
- 11:18investors that are also trying to make
- 11:21things happen on a shorter term basis.
- 11:23>> So, interesting. A lot to to dive into
- 11:25there and what you just said. Some of
- 11:27what I hear, Mark, sounds like potential
- 11:29risk. Do you think that there is a risk
- 11:31in this one with all of those potential
- 11:33changes if it's going to be a potential
- 11:35sale? If they've got new transition in
- 11:37leadership, um maybe even changing their
- 11:40business model a little bit by by the
- 11:41sounds of it. Could all of that spell
- 11:43risk or does it spell opportunity or can
- 11:45it be a little bit of both?
- 11:46>> Oh, it it certainly could be both. And
- 11:48and speaking of risk, one thing to point
- 11:50out is that 11% of the float is sold
- 11:53short. You know, typically, so when when
- 11:55you look at at short interest, there's
- 11:57two ways to think about it. One is
- 11:59shorts tend to be pretty smart investors
- 12:03and they do their homework. So when
- 12:05people get short, there's usually a good
- 12:07reason. On the other hand, they're not
- 12:09always right. And when you have a large
- 12:11chunk of stock sold short, that can
- 12:14create what's known as a short squeeze.
- 12:16When a stock starts to rise and you have
- 12:18all these people betting the wrong way,
- 12:20they then have to cover their shorts.
- 12:23Otherwise, they're, you know, they're
- 12:25taking on big losses. And to cover their
- 12:27shorts, that means they have to buy
- 12:28stock. And so when you have a large
- 12:31percent of the float sold short, the
- 12:33potential for a short squeeze with with
- 12:35this kind of artificial demand, if the
- 12:37stock starts rising, you get even more
- 12:39buying action because the shorts are
- 12:42covering their position. That can lead
- 12:43to a short squeeze, which can push a
- 12:45stock sharply higher. So seeing a a high
- 12:48short interest is is kind of a
- 12:49double-edged sword. you want to be a
- 12:51little bit careful because again the
- 12:53shorts tend to know what they're talking
- 12:55about. They tend to have good reasons
- 12:57for being short. On the other hand, when
- 13:00it goes against them, it can go against
- 13:01them in a big way and it can happen
- 13:04quickly. So, uh I when I was an analyst
- 13:08at a very contrarian research shop, one
- 13:11of the things that we were trained to
- 13:12look for for buy recommendations were
- 13:16companies with heavy short interest. And
- 13:19if we could find a reason why we believe
- 13:22the shorts were wrong, uh that was very
- 13:24often an excellent opportunity for uh
- 13:26for very quick uh share price
- 13:28appreciation.
- 13:29>> Yeah, I know. I love I love that about
- 13:30you, Mark, is that you have that
- 13:31specific analyst background too, so you
- 13:33know what to look for and what that
- 13:34could mean sometimes about a company. I
- 13:36want to go back to the valuation because
- 13:38that's kind of the the thesis of this
- 13:40video is talking about these are bargain
- 13:42picks for you. What makes this a a
- 13:44bargain buy? And is it is valuation a
- 13:46part of that or is it more of that story
- 13:48you dove into right away of the the
- 13:50story behind the scenes of kind of a
- 13:52company in transition?
- 13:53>> The reason I think the valuation is low
- 13:55is because the company is in transition.
- 13:57As I said, it's trading at 18 times
- 13:59earnings, but they're expected to grow
- 14:01earnings 28%. So, you know, typically if
- 14:04if you can get a a price earnings to
- 14:06growth ratio at one or less, which this
- 14:09is because it's 18 times earnings and 28
- 14:12time uh 28% expected earnings growth.
- 14:15So, if you can get that that PEG ratio
- 14:18at one or less typically, I mean, every
- 14:20sector's a little different, but
- 14:21typically that's a bargain. So, this is
- 14:23this looks very inexpensive to me uh
- 14:26from a a price earnings growth uh ratio.
- 14:30Um, so, uh, that's certainly, uh, what
- 14:34really caught my eye here. The reason
- 14:36it's trading at a bargain valuation is
- 14:39because the company had been struggling
- 14:41for a number of years and has not proven
- 14:44that it has turned things around yet.
- 14:46Again, it's expected to, but, hasn't
- 14:47proven that yet. I suppose once they
- 14:49start reporting out quarters in 2027, if
- 14:52those numbers are good, uh, you'll see
- 14:54that valuation increase.
- 14:56>> All right, Amil, a good first company to
- 14:58look at. I want to move on to the next
- 14:59stock that's on your list of where to
- 15:01find value in the market right now.
- 15:02What's the second stock that you're
- 15:04recommending?
- 15:05>> So, the second one, and this this one is
- 15:07somewhat uh resist recession resistant,
- 15:09which I always like. Uh Central Garden
- 15:12and Pet Company. Uh ticker symbol is CE
- 15:15NA. Called this almost a small cap
- 15:18because it's a $2.6 billion market cap.
- 15:20Uh typically the cut off for a market
- 15:22cap is 2 billion, but this is this is
- 15:24pretty close. Um this is trading at just
- 15:2614 times forward earnings where earnings
- 15:29are expected to grow 27% over over the
- 15:32next four years. It's trading below the
- 15:34sector median of 16 times uh forward
- 15:37earnings. So it's trading uh you know
- 15:40below the uh the market median the
- 15:42sector median uh price to sales on a
- 15:45trailing and forward basis is right at
- 15:48one. Uh that's typically kind of the
- 15:50line in the sand for what's considered a
- 15:52bargain. Anything at one or less on
- 15:55price to sales is considered cheap. Also
- 15:57a little bit below the sector median.
- 15:59Price to cash flow is a little bit below
- 16:02eight and um well below the 10.7 sector
- 16:06median and also very general terms
- 16:08anything below 10 times cash flow is
- 16:11considered uh inexpensive. U at the same
- 16:14time this is a a cash flow positive
- 16:16company very cash flow positive. It
- 16:17generates $300 million a year in free
- 16:20cash flow. Has a very healthy balance
- 16:22sheet. does have some debt, but debt has
- 16:24been at the same level for years. It's
- 16:26growing the amount of cash it has. And
- 16:28then I think this is really interesting.
- 16:30You know, earlier we were talking about
- 16:31from a technical perspective. If you
- 16:33look at the chart, it's really been
- 16:34trading sideways for um about five
- 16:40years, six years. And if if you pull up
- 16:43that chart, you know, it hit a high in
- 16:462021 uh just below $45 and has not been
- 16:49able to get back there. It looks like
- 16:51it's it's about to try and if it can get
- 16:54through $45, I I think this is easily a
- 16:58$60 stock within let's say 12 months.
- 17:01So, you have a very very low uh you know
- 17:05valuation with a stock that looks like
- 17:07it's trying to start to get going and if
- 17:09it does it could it could move quickly.
- 17:12>> Yeah, this is an interesting one. It has
- 17:13absolutely shown up on my show before
- 17:15but not for over a year. I think it's
- 17:17been almost two years since I heard this
- 17:19name pop up. I was talking to another uh
- 17:21value investor like yourself that's
- 17:23always looking for solid companies and
- 17:25so uh it makes sense that this this
- 17:26stock shows up again with you for sure.
- 17:28I think looking back historically is a
- 17:30great way to analyze this company and
- 17:33looking for that new breakout. I think
- 17:34the 2021 influx and rise in the stock
- 17:38makes sense because everybody got a
- 17:40puppy during COVID [laughter]
- 17:42during the lockdown. everyone got a new
- 17:44pet. And so I I think that that surge in
- 17:47that 2020 2021 season makes a lot of
- 17:50sense based on what was happening in the
- 17:52world. And so when you say that you
- 17:54started this talking about a little bit
- 17:55of a recession proof company, I'm I'm
- 17:57curious with pet care with any any
- 18:00company that's tied to that. Is that
- 18:02really a recessionproof industry or is
- 18:04that an area in difficult economic times
- 18:07where people might tighten their
- 18:08personal belts and spend a little bit
- 18:10less, that sort of thing? or is what
- 18:12Central Pet offers so essential to
- 18:15whether it's farmers or pet owners, that
- 18:17sort of thing, that they're kind of that
- 18:19recessionproof uh business?
- 18:21>> Yeah. So, I would use a term recession
- 18:23resistant versus, you know, truly
- 18:25recessionp proof. But, you know, with,
- 18:27you know, we've seen just this this very
- 18:29strong trend over the past decade, maybe
- 18:32even longer, of of almost the the
- 18:34humanization of our pets where people,
- 18:37you know, truly believe that they are
- 18:39part of their families. You know, it's
- 18:41it's very different, I think, than from
- 18:44when I was a kid. And and certainly
- 18:46people love their their dogs and their
- 18:47cats and their pets back then, but I
- 18:49don't think anybody really used the term
- 18:51family back then, whereas now they
- 18:53really do. I mean, every plane you get
- 18:54on, everybody's got their dogs and cats.
- 18:57Uh, so it's
- 19:00I have a hard time picturing in a
- 19:02recession people just, you know, kind of
- 19:05giving up their dogs and cats because
- 19:06they're too expensive. Obviously, you
- 19:08know, there may be some that have to,
- 19:09but for the most part, uh, it's it's a
- 19:12member of their family and and I don't I
- 19:14don't expect that they're going to give
- 19:16it up. They may downgrade, let's say,
- 19:17the dog food instead of the super
- 19:19expensive organic, you know, chef
- 19:22prepared dog food. They may go back to
- 19:24uh to more traditional food for the
- 19:26dogs. But, uh, I I do think that people
- 19:29will continue to love their pets to to,
- 19:31you know, want to keep them happy and
- 19:34healthy as long as they can. And
- 19:35especially during tough times, you know,
- 19:37when perhaps you're not going out as
- 19:39much, then having that time with the dog
- 19:41and uh, and getting some enjoyment at
- 19:44home will be even more important.
- 19:46>> Yeah, I know. I shared this with my
- 19:47viewers or I'm a new puppy parent right
- 19:49now. We've had a puppy for about a month
- 19:51and it's a lot of work, but yes,
- 19:53definitely a family member for sure. So
- 19:56interesting company to talk about more
- 19:57on the the fundamentals of the company
- 19:59and the price action in the chart. Why
- 20:02would a company like this that does have
- 20:03that strong potential like you said be
- 20:05be kind of trending sideways for so long
- 20:08for five years is a long time to kind of
- 20:10stay within a similar range what would
- 20:12cause a breakout now what what's
- 20:14changing that that shift
- 20:16>> so it could be a number of things I mean
- 20:19you could see the company starting to uh
- 20:22you know improve their numbers or what
- 20:25very often happens and and and this is I
- 20:27think one of the benefits of looking at
- 20:29the charts is very often the the price
- 20:32starts to move before the fundamentals
- 20:35do. So, you know, investors that are in
- 20:37the know, whether that is, you know,
- 20:40insiders buying the stock or hedge funds
- 20:43that or are really doing their homework
- 20:45and and are having conversations with
- 20:47management, you know, they're buying the
- 20:49stock in anticipation of things turning
- 20:51around fundamentally. you know, so often
- 20:53whether we're talking broad markets or
- 20:56individual stocks, you'll often see
- 20:58price uh you know, uh ahead of the
- 21:02changes in the move. I mean, just even
- 21:03looking at Nvidia, uh Nvidia stock has
- 21:06been falling for several weeks before,
- 21:09you know, the scandal broke with the
- 21:11CEO. So, I'm not saying that that was
- 21:14the reason it fell, but it it's not
- 21:16unusual that the price precedes uh you
- 21:20know, news or or or fundamentals.
- 21:23>> That was a really good answer to a
- 21:25really hard question, Mark. Thank you so
- 21:26much for diving into that. Again, I love
- 21:29having you on the show because you are
- 21:30such a calm and very wise teacher for
- 21:33investors who are especially just kind
- 21:35of learning where to find value in this
- 21:37market, especially those who maybe have
- 21:39had their portfolios hit really hard in
- 21:41the last few weeks of volatility in the
- 21:43market of chasing the dips that are out
- 21:44there. This is a different way to look
- 21:46at investing and I think that you can
- 21:48learn more by joining Mark's Oxford
- 21:50Income newsletter. Again, he sends out
- 21:52newsletters every month. He interacts
- 21:54directly with his subscribers at the
- 21:56Oxford Income Newsletter. So, this is a
- 21:58great way to to kind of reach out to
- 22:00Mark directly and learn from him and
- 22:02also get some of his best stock picks in
- 22:04the market, this different way of
- 22:06looking at investing and finding real
- 22:08value, especially through volatile
- 22:09times. So, scan the QR code, click the
- 22:12link in the description. Again, you have
- 22:13special access to join Mark's newsletter
- 22:16through that link in the description.
- 22:17All right, Mark, we have one more stock
- 22:19to cover today. What's the third area
- 22:21that you are finding some value in the
- 22:23market right now? All right. So, this
- 22:24one I would call somewhat recession
- 22:26proof. That's HCA Healthcare. Ticker
- 22:29symbol HCA. Uh they are the largest
- 22:32hospital network in the United States.
- 22:34So, you know, good times, bad times. If
- 22:37you need your appendix out, uh you're
- 22:39probably going to get it.
- 22:41>> So, I do like, you know, hospitals for
- 22:43that reason. They are um it's the
- 22:46largest in the in the US, but they have
- 22:48a pretty strong concentration in Texas
- 22:51and Florida. Uh where you know the
- 22:53demographics are very very strong. A lot
- 22:56of people moving to both states. Florida
- 22:58you know certainly uh an older
- 23:00population. So what we know about older
- 23:03people is they need more healthcare. Uh
- 23:05so uh certainly a great market for a
- 23:08hospital chain to be in. earnings are
- 23:10projected to more than triple over the
- 23:13next 10 years. Yet it's only trading at
- 23:15a 17 uh PE ratio both trailing and
- 23:19forward and which is below the sector
- 23:22median of 20. So uh I think a very very
- 23:25good valuation for the growth that it is
- 23:28expected to experience. And then you
- 23:30have politics. So Democrats as we know
- 23:34uh you know are controlling the Senate
- 23:36and the House. They're going to be
- 23:38fighting hard to roll back cuts to
- 23:39Medicaid. Any uh roll back of those cuts
- 23:43will certainly be positive for
- 23:44hospitals. Then looking out past 2028,
- 23:48if the Democrats uh maintain uh control
- 23:51of Congress and a Democrat gets elected,
- 23:55then suddenly Medicare for all is on the
- 23:58table and that would be a boom for
- 24:01health care providers like hospitals.
- 24:04So, I I think there's there's a lot to
- 24:07like here on the story. And then if you
- 24:09look at the chart, this is one of the
- 24:11strongest long-term charts you will ever
- 24:14see, perhaps other than Nvidia. I mean,
- 24:16this stock is up 30x in about 15 years.
- 24:20And so, it's down from its all-time
- 24:22highs, but not that much. I mean, we're
- 24:24we're probably about 10% from all-time
- 24:27highs. So, it's not that this is a stock
- 24:28that's been absolutely creamed that
- 24:31you're scooping up at bargain basement
- 24:33levels. No, this is just a stock that
- 24:34has been just a fantastic long-term
- 24:37performer that's trading at a at a real
- 24:40good valuation compared to the huge
- 24:42growth it's expecting. Uh, and then as
- 24:45of this moment, you have, you know,
- 24:46political tailwinds. That obviously
- 24:48could change at at any time, but at
- 24:50least as of right now, it's uh it's it's
- 24:53in the company's favor. And like I said,
- 24:56it's it's somewhat recession proof in
- 24:58that, you know, people need their health
- 25:00care and they're they're going to go to
- 25:01the hospital when they need to, whether
- 25:04uh you know, GDP is is booming or
- 25:07contracting.
- 25:07>> Yeah, the long-term chart really stands
- 25:09out, Mark. I'm glad that you pointed
- 25:10that out because it's incredibly strong
- 25:12like you said. Also, some of the
- 25:14political issues um and points for this
- 25:16company are so interesting to think
- 25:18about and could be momentum drivers or
- 25:20maybe volatility drivers. I think that
- 25:22that anytime you have politics involved
- 25:25in a company business model, I I do
- 25:28think that it can lead to just
- 25:29volatility because it's unpredictable.
- 25:31Um, and that's part of it for sure. But
- 25:33let's look at the the earnings and the
- 25:35valuation for this company, too. And I
- 25:36know you mentioned it already, but just
- 25:38looking at their last earnings report,
- 25:40incredibly solid. Uh, do you think that
- 25:42we can continue to see that same kind of
- 25:44quarterly growth for this company? And
- 25:46will that be enough to move the momentum
- 25:49forward for this stock? Or are all those
- 25:51other factors, the political issues
- 25:52hanging overhead, the other things um
- 25:55potential holdbacks for this stock to
- 25:57continue to grow?
- 25:58>> For 2026 and 2027, earnings estimates
- 26:00are for singledigit growth, accelerating
- 26:03to double digits every year from 2028 to
- 26:062035, including uh getting up into the
- 26:09the 20s as you get to 2034, 2035. Now,
- 26:14obviously, that's a long way off. Those
- 26:15those numbers are going to change over
- 26:17time, but uh it does show you the um the
- 26:21the projections uh and what Wall Street
- 26:24is expecting from this company as far as
- 26:27growth, you know, because of its
- 26:29business model because it's the largest
- 26:30hospital chain in the country. Uh and
- 26:33so, you know, it certainly has all the
- 26:35advantages of that scale, whether you're
- 26:37talking about cost control, whether
- 26:39you're talking about dominating certain
- 26:40markets. So, uh, there's just, you know,
- 26:43a lot to like here for the long term.
- 26:46Uh, you know, short-term if you and
- 26:49again, if you look at the chart that the
- 26:50long-term chart is great, but there have
- 26:52been some some significant, uh, dips
- 26:55along the way. So, you know, this is a
- 26:58stock that I like from a valuation
- 27:00perspective to put in your portfolio and
- 27:03be more of a set it and forget it type
- 27:05stock that, you know, the kind of thing
- 27:06that you're going to look back at 5, 10
- 27:08years. And I think it's going to do
- 27:10really really well because of its
- 27:12business model and you're buying it at a
- 27:15at a very good valuation. But again, you
- 27:17mentioned politics. Anything could
- 27:18happen in 2028. A Republican is
- 27:22reelected to the White House or Congress
- 27:24shifts. Uh that could put some pressure
- 27:26on the story perhaps on expected
- 27:30earnings going forward. Uh but also, you
- 27:33know, healthc care policy is it's like,
- 27:36you know, turning around a cruise ship.
- 27:38It takes a while. It's not uh it's not
- 27:40an easy pivot. So, you know, I I I think
- 27:44these things kind of these these kind of
- 27:46stories and these tailwinds, at least
- 27:48right now, probably have some legs to
- 27:51last for a few years.
- 27:52>> Yeah, absolutely. Like you said,
- 27:53anything can happen. We saw that this
- 27:55week with Nvidia. Uh a week ago, this
- 27:58wasn't even on anyone's horizon. And
- 28:00then a week later, uh, one of the
- 28:02largest, you know, most important CEOs
- 28:04in the nation is now out. So, like you
- 28:07said, anything can happen. It's a a
- 28:09different comparison, but I think it's
- 28:10important for investors to keep that in
- 28:12mind, too. Mark, I loved this
- 28:13conversation today, especially given
- 28:15everything that's happening this week
- 28:17and last week in the market. It's good
- 28:19to also take a look and not forget about
- 28:21these solid companies that have true
- 28:24momentum going, have really strong
- 28:26fundamentals, and are real actual value
- 28:29plays. and value buys for investors to
- 28:31consider. Thank you again, Mark, for
- 28:32coming on the show and and giving us a
- 28:34little diversity in the stocks that
- 28:36we're talking about this week. If you
- 28:37want to hear more from Mark, we recently
- 28:39had him on the show, too, and he talked
- 28:41a lot about these same kind of value
- 28:43stocks where you can find long-term
- 28:45growth over time. You can watch that
- 28:47latest interview we had with Mark right
- 28:49here and get more stock ideas from him,
