In this article, we will look at the 13 Oversold NASDAQ Stocks to Invest In.
On February 6, Richard Bernstein, Richard Bernstein Advisors CEO, appeared on CNBC’s ‘The Exchange’ to talk about the state of equity markets. He stated that we have argued for a long time that the broadening of the market would be extraordinarily healthy, and that has been going on since the end of October, more or less. He thinks this is “very healthy”, and that people are not realising how strong the overall economy is, with nominal GDP last quarter over 8%.
For perspective, excluding the post-pandemic period, the United States has not had a nominal GDP over 8% since 2006. So you would have a narrow market when the nominal GDP is over 8% is mind-boggling, according to him. Therefore, what we are witnessing is the market beginning to broaden, in acceptance of the economy, and the corporate profits are turning out to be much stronger and much broader than people thought.

Bernstein further stated that the key thing for the Mag 7 is that they are fine companies, but they are not unique, as there are many companies both in the United States and across the globe that are growing as fast, if not faster, than the Mag 7, and are a lot cheaper as well. He added that if people are willing to look outside the United States, they are likely to find earnings growth accelerating in many parts of the world. It is not that the U.S. earnings growth is imploding, but rather it is leveling off and maybe coming down a little bit. On the other hand, outside the United States, we have profit cycles that are actually coming up.
With these trends in view, let’s look at the best oversold NASDAQ stocks to invest in.
