With the first half of 2021 almost in the books, it’s time to consider what stocks to hold for the second half. Vale (VALE), ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT), and Newell Brands Inc. (NWL) are poised to see their shares rise in the weeks ahead.As we head into July, it’s time to think about what stocks will perform well in the second half of 2021. The last six months have been dominated by energy stocks, financial stocks, and real estate stocks with a lot of back and forth between growth and value. Going forward, many sectors and industries could see increased volatility, as investors await a clear message on inflation.
That’s why I am focusing on individual securities that currently exhibit characteristics that could drive their prices higher in the second half of the year. These characteristics include companies that have strong growth potential and are trading at an attractive valuation. Plus, these stocks are also showing bullish momentum.
So, I ran a screen in our database for stocks that were rated a Buy or Strong Buy in our POWR Ratings system that also had strong grades in the Growth, Value, Momentum, and Sentiment components. Three of the top stocks in this screen include Vale (VALE), ArcelorMittal (MT), and Newell Brands Inc. (NWL) which is why I am highlighting below.
