Tech, Energy Bright Spots for Stock Pickers: Barron's Roundtable
Some of Wall Street’s most influential investors are eyeing energy and technology plays as the bull market hums on.
Asked for their best stock picks as part of Barron’s 2018 roundtable discussion, Jeffrey Gundlach, Abby Joseph Cohen, Delphi Management founder Scott Black and other panelists championed technology and energy companies they see profiting from rising tides in those industries.
Four of the nine participants highlighted companies tied in some way to semiconductors, from Samsung Electronics Co. -- Cohen’s pick -- to Lam Research Corp., favored by Black, which manufactures semiconductor processing equipment used in making circuits.
“People are still living in the past. They retain a notion from 1995 to 2000 that semiconductor-equipment manufacturing is wildly cyclical and a bad business," Paul Wick, lead manager of the Columbia Seligman Communications & Information Fund at Columbia Threadneedle Investments. He pitched Micron Technology Inc. “In fact, the chip industry has become much less volatile." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-20/tech-energy-bright-spots-for-stock-pickers-barron-s-roundtable
