In this article, we explore the 11 Best Buy-the-Dip Stocks to Buy According to Analysts.
As turbulence hit the market in April, following the Trump administration’s announcement of sweeping tariffs, retail investors rushed to buy the dip. The buying spree came on the market, plunging by about 20% and approaching bear territory. According to JPMorgan, the dip buying that emerged was simply money chasing discounted opportunities.
The dip-buying phenomenon has already paid off this year, as the US equity markets bounced back and rallied to record highs. The S&P 500 has recouped all its losses and is back at record highs, as investors take advantage of any dip to buy in anticipation of further gains. While the overall market is at an all-time high, not all stocks have risen in tandem with it.
Some stocks have pulled back significantly amid the bull market and are currently trading near their 52-week lows. The beaten-down stocks offer some of the best investment opportunities, as some are trading at highly discounted valuations relative to their long-term prospects.
The Federal Reserve’s lowering of interest rates could be the catalyst to trigger a significant rebound in some of the beaten-down stocks. That’s the sentiment echoed by analysts at Goldman Sachs who are more excited about stocks in the final quarter of the year.
“With our baseline economic and Fed forecasts largely reflected in market pricing, we expect earnings will continue to be the primary driver of equity prices from here. However, light investor positioning ads to the tactical upside case for stocks if the macro backdrop remains friendly,” said Goldman Sachs Strategist David Kostin.
According to CFP Jay Spector, co-chief executive officer of EverVest Financial in Scottsdale, Arizona, a ‘disciplined approach’ is crucial when buying stocks during a market downturn. With that in mind, let’s look at some of the best buy-the-dip stocks to buy, according to analysts.
