Starbucks (SBUX, $113.41), Microsoft (MSFT, $299.87), Alcoa (AA, $48.88)and others are on Goldman Sachs "underappreciated" list

Starbucks (SBUX, $113.41), Microsoft (MSFT, $299.87), Alcoa (AA, $48.88)and others are on Goldman Sachs "underappreciated" list

Computer chips, coffee and metals companies are included in Goldman Sachs’  list of 29 "underappreciated" stocks released Friday. Here’s a summary of Goldman’s views on some of these stocks:

Advanced Micro Devices  : Market share gains in client and server central processing segments on the back of gross margin expansion and operating expenditure leverage should lead to positive revisions to near-and medium-term earnings-per-share.

Starbucks: The economic re-opening in the U.S. and abroad, along with the company’s significant scale, market share gains and operational efficiencies should boost multi-year earnings power. Management recently mentioned that cost of goods sold should not be a headwind in FY21/22.

Alcoa  : Significant leverage to a positive aluminum price outlook should lead to higher earnings and free cash flow generation allowing for deleveraging and capital allocation flexibility to pursue shareholder return.

Will the VIX Spike or Fade in a War‑Plus‑Record‑Hedging Environment?

Investors holding record levels of protective puts means downside is heavily hedged, which often dampens crash risk but supports higher implied volatility (VIX) in the short run. The fact that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are rising while hedging is surging suggests a “wall of worry” market: people are bullish enough to stay in, but nervous enough to pay up for insurance.

How Tickeron’s AI Bots Just Beat a Red Week in the Market
