Digital Realty Trust provides data center and office space for some of the world’s leading cloud companies. The company is a highly specialized, data-focused real estate investment trust that owns over 285 data centers in 26 countries.

The company’s latest quarterly earnings totaled $1.1 billion, or $3.71 per share, up from last year’s total of $44.18 million, or $0.16 per share. The company’s improving margins are in part due to increased bookings for the quarter. Revenue for the quarter grew 4.7% to $1.11 billion from $1.06 billion last year.

Digital Realty Trust has performed well over the past few years. If you’re looking for a healthy return on your investment, then it would be worth taking a closer look.

Upstart partners with banks and credit unions to provide consumer loans for people that don’t qualify for traditional loans. Non-traditional variables like your level of education or employment are considered when deciding whether you’ll get a loan.

The company is able to assess credit risk factors that other companies cannot because of machine learning. Due to the greater accuracy, they’ll allow banks to lend money to people with a lower risk.

Q4 revenue was $305 million, a staggering 252% increase over the same time last year. Upstart’s adjusted net income came in between $50 and $52 million. The company’s healthy cash position is $1.19 billion and management wants to reward shareholders by buying back $400 million worth of shares. All of this makes UPST one of the best stocks in the market right now.

Lincoln Electric Holdings (LECO)

Lincoln Electric manufactures arc welding equipment and other products, ranging from consumable welding to welding and cutting equipment.

The company is well-positioned thanks to the strong product development pipeline and its industry-leading position in automation. The large investments they’ve been making in additive and other technologies mean that the company is not only financially sound, but will also have room to perform acquisitions.

Based on the promising trends we are seeing in the U.S., it is most likely that we are in the early stages of an industrial expansion cycle. It is a big deal because it means that after years of slow productivity growth, there is now the possibility for more robust economic growth for the foreseeable future. Companies like Lincoln Electric will benefit massively from this.

The Lincoln Electric Company reported strong quarterly earnings last month. Their Q4 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.61 per share, up 29.8% year-over-year. The bottom line jumped by approximately 30% over the previous year. Revenue for Q4 came in at $74.4 million.

Best New Stocks: Visteon Corporation (VC)

An automotive industry supplier, Visteon manufactures automotive products, including ride performance and clean air systems. With all the talk about the electric vehicle revolution, it is no surprise that companies focused on this are among the best new stocks to buy.

The company is seeing strong earnings growth catalysts. Visteon reported net sales of $786 million for the 3 months period ending Dec.31, 2021, 15% growth year-over-year. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) came in $92 million because sales were strong, prices rose, and the cost of designing new models declined.

They expect new product ramps, favorable pricing, and strong margin growth. Visteon has one of the most stable balance sheets of any auto supplier and they’re likely to use it to finance new developments.

United States Steel Corp. (X)

Infrastructure is one of the key themes that has emerged during President Joe Biden’s administration. The President feels that construction is one of the industries that will lead the American revival. A host of stocks in the steel sector are doing well in this environment.

U.S. Steel first made an impression on the industry during the Industrial Revolution, established in 1901 by banker J.P. Morgan and named after Andrew Carnegie’s company to merge with others in the same industry. This company has been declining in recent years and has struggled to maintain its market share against foreign competition and emerging technologies.

U.S. Steel has divested their less profitable business to focus on the things they do best and become a force in the steel industry again. The company cited the efficiency of operations as one of the reasons for divestment. With the industrial renaissance in full swing, United States Steel is in a great position.

Best New Stocks: Intuit (INTU)

Intuit offers several different products to help with taxes: Quicken for personal finance management, TurboTax for filing taxes online, QuickBooks for small business accounting needs, and Lacerte Accounting for general accounting needs.

It is again growing in popularity leading up to tax season as software traders take more notice. The maker of TurboTax and other financial software has been declining this year due to broader trends of selling off software-related investments. Intuit has some good points going for it compared to other software brands.

Intuit is not just a company that creates tax-preparation software. It has also purchased Credit Karma of financial technology fame, which gives it a more diverse platform for its products. Intuit’s financial and accounting tools are expanding beyond TurboTax and QuickBooks. This expansion should result in higher profitability and cash flow generation for Intuit.

Roku (ROKU)

During the year thus far, high-growth stocks have been under tremendous selling pressure. Streaming giant Roku is no different. Year-to-date, Roku is down around 55%.

You can blame the broader market. But there is also some responsibility that the company has to shoulder. Investment analysts were left disappointed with the end-of-quarter performance report. The management team guided total revenue to be about $893 million during the quarter but only delivered $865 million. They’re also expecting revenue to grow by an amount lower than what Wall Street expects in the first quarter.

However, Roku has seen a huge share increase in recent years, as more and more people ditch linear TV for streaming. Plus, they’re now available in Smart TVs, so they’ve got a whole new market opening up — meaning great growth opportunities. It is very cheap per share right now, so it is not a bad time to pick some ROKU stock while you can.

Best New Stocks: Domino’s Pizza (DPZ)

Domino’s Pizza is a fast-food restaurant chain. They have been expanding to other countries in recent years. They are also the third-largest pizza chain globally, after Pizza Hut and Papa John’s Pizza (NASDAQ:PZZA).

Domino’s Pizza is a company that has been around for decades. The company has seen growth in recent years, attributed to its expansion and its focus on fresh ingredients and new recipes.

Analysts are predicting that Domino’s share price will take a dip due to slower sales and substantial cost inflation. Domino’s has benefited massively from the stay-at-home trend, but now that people are returning to work, they’re likely not ordering as many pizzas as they used to. However, the company has the money to outlast any short-term headwinds. And some of the rising demand from people ordering delivery may last longer as they get used to ordering from the Domino’s app due to many factors.

The company has grown over the past decade, but the most recent growth has been astute. The team has a great strategy to create shareholder value while buying their shares.

Sherwin-Williams (SHW)

Newer companies in the paint industry have tried to take over, but Sherwin-Williams has been able to maintain its dominant position for years. The company has an impressive product line spread across both the residential and commercial sectors. They also have a huge customer base — millions all over the country. That said, they’ve managed to maintain high brand awareness, too.

Since Sherwin-Williams is a major player in the paint industry, it is not surprising that it has seen steady growth over the last few years. The heating up of the housing market has helped spur activity in the market. Thanks to this, Sherwin-Williams is one company that has seen a big bump. They’ve managed to prosper as they’re closely connected to professions like painting and home improvement.

This is good news for investors who want to buy into this company because it means that Sherwin-Williams’s future also looks bright.
