Market News: Morgan Stanley Sees 4 Stocks With Big Upside Even at Market's Peak
By Mark Kolakowski 4-5 minutes - Source: Investopedia Many market watchers believe that stock valuations are stretched, given that the S&P 500 Index (SPX) has surged by about 340% from its bear market low in March 2009, and traded today just about 2% below its all-time high. Nonetheless, despite their generally bearish outlook on the market, Morgan Stanley recently found 4 stocks that still have the potential to rise by up to 35%, giving them overweight ratings as a result. These stocks are The Boeing Co. ( BA ), Deere & Co. ( DE ), Ford Motor Co. ( F ), and Emerson Electric Co. ( EMR ). Morgan Stanley is optimistic about these stocks despite an environment in which "slowing growth and margin pressures keep us cautious on equities and we see downside risk should labor markets weaken," as they write in a Sept. 9, 2019 report, "U.S. Equity Strategy: Industrials: Strategy Sector Views + Analyst Stock Picks."
