2 Surging Stocks to Consider Right Now and 1 That Underwhelm

The stocks in this article are all trading near their 52-week highs. This strength often reflects positive developments such as new product launches, favorable industry trends, or improved financial performance.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. On that note, here are two stocks with the fundamentals to back up their performance and one best left ignored.

One Stock to Sell:

G-III (GIII)

One-Month Return: +14.5%

Founded as a small leather goods business, G-III (NASDAQ:GIII) is a fashion and apparel conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of brands.

Why Should You Sell GIII?

1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 7.5% annual growth was below the typical consumer discretionary company
2. Operating margin of 6.5% falls short of the industry average, and the smaller profit dollars make it harder to react to unexpected market developments
3. Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 5 percentage points over the next year

G-III is trading at $30.51 per share, or 14.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why GIII doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Marvell Technology (MRVL)

One-Month Return: +58.9%

Moving away from a low margin storage device management chips in one of the biggest semiconductor business model pivots of the past decade, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is a fabless designer of special purpose data processing and networking chips used by data centers, communications carriers, enterprises, and autos.

Why Could MRVL Be a Winner?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 22.5% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
2. Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 32.5% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
3. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage

Marvell Technology’s stock price of $139.68 implies a valuation ratio of 36.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Bel Fuse (BELFA)

One-Month Return: +23.2%

Founded by 26-year-old Elliot Bernstein during the electronics boom after WW2, Bel Fuse (NASDAQ:BELF.A) provides electronic systems and devices to the telecommunications, networking, transportation, and industrial sectors.

Why Does BELFA Catch Our Eye?

1. Operating margin expanded by 11.8 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 47.7% annually, topping its revenue gains
3. Free cash flow margin grew by 11 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

At $233.67 per share, Bel Fuse trades at 32.6x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
