The selection process has identified over 200 US stock market companies that meet the criteria as potential investment opportunities.
But three companies stand out and are worth considering for your portfolio. Let's take a deeper dive into these companies' current status and prospects.
1. Broadcom
With about 75% of its revenue coming from the semiconductor sector, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is poised to capitalize on the ongoing semiconductor boom.
Last month, the Silicon Valley-based company's stock surged, reaching new record highs around $915. This surge is a reflection of the current upward trend in the market.
After a strong rebound, Broadcom stock is currently undergoing a consolidation phase, as expected.
This may result in a corrective pattern, with a potential price range of $680-700 per share. The key support level, confirmed by the upward trend line, falls within this range.
From a fundamental perspective, the company has demonstrated robust performance, with consistent revenue and net profit growth since 2020.
This provides a solid foundation for the continuation of the upward trend, following the recent correction in the stock price.

2. KLA Corporation
KLA Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC), a semiconductor company, specializes in developing control systems and performance management tools for manufacturing processes.
It collaborates closely with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), benefiting from the chipmaker's rally in May after publishing optimistic forecasts for the next quarter.
The company stands out for consistently exceeding quarterly earnings forecasts and its stock's upward momentum.

It is worth keeping these in the back of your mind ahead of the earnings release next month.
3. Adobe
Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) is scheduled to release its Q1 2023 results next week on Thursday. Analysts' forecasts indicate an expected EPS (earnings per share) of $3.79 and revenues of $4.772 billion.

The company's stock price is currently at a critical juncture as it tests a key resistance near $440.
The successful breakthrough and continuation of an upward move will depend on the Federal Reserve's decision at the upcoming meeting and the absence of any negative surprises in the upcoming financial report.
Considering the dynamics of the demand impulse, the most probable scenario from a technical perspective is a breakout followed by a continuation toward $530.
