It might be the time to buy JPMorgan before it banks up

-
     JPMorgan Chase & Co.(JPM) is one of the biggest banks in the world with a a market cap of $360.223 billion and is the biggest bank in America. They have a high profit margin of 31.41% showing that they are very profitable and that they have the potential to continue to expand from the high profit.

      JPMorgan has the highest P/E ratio compared to other top banks showing that investors expect them to have a higher growth than the others, but they aren't valued as overpriced because they are below the P/E ratio average of around 13.51.  JPMorgan also has a high dividend yield with only Wells Fargo having a higher one showing that JPMorgan has a greater return than Bank of America and Citigroup. However JPMorgan has a better return even though they don't have the highest dividend yield considering they have a higher and more stable profit margin compared to Wells Fargo which would allow them to be consistent on paying out their dividends and they may increase their dividends.
     JPMorgan has also performed better than the other top banks over two years showing that they have high long term performance rate. Their stock increased 27.3% in two years compared to Bank of America's 20.47% increase, Citigroup's 12.45% increase, and Wells Fargo's 16.39% decrease.

    JPMorgan is also not too close to their 52 week high which means that they have space to increase and are not under the threat of dropping too much from increasing a lot past the high. Analysts rate JPMorgan is a buy right now because of their not too high price and P/E ratio, but they also are predicted to post strong earnings after beating quarterly earnings expectations 3 out of the past four releases. Posting a strong Q2 earnings would help boost the stock making right now the best time to buy when it isn't too high.

Does heavy spending by Oracle signal long term upside?

  Oracle (ORCL) has recently increased its investments while many other technology companies right now are cutting down their investments and playing it safe. Oracle is a database and cloud software company based in Austin, Texas, and its main competitors in the cloud industry are Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.  Back in June, Oracle purchased Cerner Corporation, a healthcare records company for roughly $28 billion with the hopes of strengthening its cloud services. Although Oracle only makes up 2% of the cloud market, Oracle aims to compete with Amazon, Microsoft, and Google by building smaller data centers in more regions (Statista). By doing so, Oracle currently has data centers in 40 regions which is almost double the amount AWS has.  Expanding data centers does come at a cost since Oracle has spent over $2.44 billion in capital expenditures during the 2nd Quarter which is a 163% increase in their capital spending. The increase in spending has put Oracle as #1 for the ...

Micron Technology: One of the Biggest Hidden Stocks of this Year

-

I believe Micron Technology(MU), a semiconductor producer, is a good investment because there is a long-term upside to the stock. Top U.S. semiconductor companies like AMD outsource their semiconductor manufacturing to Asian countries like China, but the U.S. and China’s relationship has soured which is causing the U.S. to focus on production here. To boost U.S. chip manufacturing, Micron has received a subsidy from the Biden administration which has allowed them to expand their market share in semiconductor production by investing $40 billion into building more chip-making factories in the United States. With U.S. companies focusing on buying semiconductors in the United States, Micron's large market share will help them sustain long-term growth in sales. Subsequently, it will boost investor confidence in the stock which will lead to stock gains. Although Micron’s stock has dipped in the past year due to a decrease in computer demand caused by lifted lockdown restrictions, this pr...
